Mu Qingge raised her eyebrows and thought to herself: Does it have to do with her
Seeing her confused look, Mu Lianrong said: "The representative of the envoy of the Tu Kingdom is the Barbarian King Helianba. He and your grandfather are also old rivals, but they have never won against your grandfather once. This time I see you , he can’t get favors from your grandfather, so I’m afraid he will start with you. Also, don’t forget that you and Princess Changle had a marriage contract, and now he is proposing to marry on behalf of Prince Tu. Once the emperor decides to let Princess Changle Once the marriage is established and word spreads, everyone in the world will know that Prince Tugu is marrying a woman that your young master, Mu Mansion, does not want. I am afraid that Helianba will vent his resentment on you."
Mu Qingge felt faintly unhappy.
What does she mean by a woman she doesn’t want? If word spread like this, what kind of reputation does Qin Yiyao still have? However, she was powerless to stop the world from speaking out.
Rumors are always a knife that kills without showing blood!
"Of course, for the sake of reputation, the emperor will only say that you broke off the engagement because of your bad conduct and the princess didn't like it. Tuguo will not publicize this matter themselves. They just want to vent this bad breath. "Mu Lianrong saw that Mu Qingge looked wrong and quickly explained.
Breaking off the engagement will indeed damage a woman's reputation.
However, Mu Qingge's identity is already the biggest lie in the world, so how can other innocent people be involved? If Princess Changle is really married into the Mu family, it would be a big joke and extremely unfair to her. Therefore, breaking off the engagement is also a helpless move. She understood what Mu Qingge was doing.
However, she didn't know that Mu Qingge didn't think so much about it at all. I don’t even think there’s anything big about breaking off the engagement. In her mind, you can get divorced even if you are married, let alone annulment? She ignored that this was not the world she was familiar with, and the concept of men and women was not that open.
"Singing softly, singing softly?"
Mu Lianrong's soft call interrupted Mu Qingge's thoughts.
She raised her eyes and looked at her aunt.
Mu Lianrong asked with concern: "What's wrong with you? My aunt called you several times but you didn't respond."
"It's okay." Mu Qingge shook her head.
Seeing her like that, Mu Lianrong thought she was feeling guilty about breaking off her engagement with Princess Changle, so she comforted her: "Don't think too much about it. Who knows whether Prince Tu is destined to be Princess Changle?"
Mu Qingge smiled with twitching lips. Now that things have happened, what else can she say
"Auntie has something to ask you." Mu Lianrong's face suddenly became more solemn. She looked at Mu Qingge and asked with a complicated expression: "I went to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and asked, and they said that Prince Rui took Bai Xiyue away. She is now... "
"Dead." Knowing what his aunt wanted to know, Mu Qingge answered simply.
The expected answer did not surprise Mu Lianrong, but her eyes dimmed.
After a while, she looked at Mu Qingge and opened her mouth, but no words came out.
"I didn't do it." Mu Qingge said.
Mu Lianrong's eyes moved slightly, and she sighed. She grabbed Mu Qingge's hand a few times and squeezed it hard. Some of the emotions in my heart disappeared in this pinch.
The girl she had watched grow up was eventually destroyed because of her own choices.
Mu Xiong stood aside and listened to the conversation between the two without missing a word. Apart from sighing, he didn't know what to say for a while.
One after another, the people invited to the banquet have arrived.
The Barbarian King Helianba, who led the delegation to massacre the country, also entered the palace accompanied by Qin Prince Qin Jinxiu.
This is the first time Mu Qingge has seen this aunt say that her grandfather's men were defeated.
