Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

Chapter 56 Expelled from the Mu Mansion

Mu Qi looked at the eldest young master in surprise. What did he mean by that?

Everyone in Yu Nancheng knew about this; someone had hired someone to kill her, and someone was framing the Fifth Miss.

How come when it comes to the eldest young master, it becomes that the fifth young lady forced Miss Jiang to her death?

Mu Qi stood silently to the side; there was no place for him to speak.

Mu Xue seemed to have heard something amusing. She sat up straight, put down her cup, and said in a light tone, "Oh? Young Master, all you heard after being out for a day?"

"You!" Mu Feng pointed at Mu Xue, his voice even colder: "How can you, with your vicious nature, know how to repent?"

Mu Xue's face turned cold upon hearing this.

At this moment, she made no attempt to suppress her aura. This aura, which she had gained through countless battles, immediately targeted Mu Feng, causing him to lose his footing and take a half-step back.

Then came Mu Xue's icy voice: "I have a problem. If anyone points a finger at me, I get really, really angry!"

Mu Qi was also stunned by Mu Xue's imposing aura.

Mu Xue got up, walked to his side, and said with a look of disgust, "Keep your chin closed, you're drooling."

Mu Qi quickly lowered her head and silently took two steps back.

He doesn't deserve to be in this hellish place.

Mu Feng was burning with rage. He glared at Mu Xue and shouted, "Mu Xue!!!"

Mu Xue picked at her ear and said lazily, "I can hear you, you don't need to shout so loudly."

"You are truly obstinate. Since that's the case, then I will personally enforce the family rules. You will not be tolerated in the affairs of the Mu family!!" Mu Feng shouted loudly.

"Young Master, you mustn't!" Granny Kang cried out.

She had already listened to most of it in the corridor, but she never expected that the eldest young master would say such a thing at the end.

With Su Su's help, she quickly stepped forward, about to kneel down, but Mu Feng stopped her, saying, "Granny Kang, you are an old servant of Mother's, what are you doing?"

"Young Master, the Jiang family's affairs have nothing to do with Miss! You can't kick Miss out of the house!" Granny Kang said, tears streaming down her face.

“Granny Kang, how many ridiculous things has she done these past few years? Even my father and I, while stationed at the border, have heard about it. You can imagine how much trouble she’s caused. My Mu family has no need for a young lady like that!” Mu Feng said without any mercy.

A cold glint flashed in Mu Xue's eyes. She admitted that the original owner had made quite a few jokes, but she couldn't say that any of them were particularly big.

She wouldn't believe it unless someone deliberately spread the word, since even those far away at the border knew about it.

Upon hearing Mu Feng's words, Mu Qi was also shocked. He never expected that the master of the Mu family would want to kick the Fifth Miss out of the mansion as soon as he returned.

The An family mother and daughter, who happened to be in China upon hearing the news, were both overjoyed when they heard Mu Feng's words.

Aunt An stepped into the courtyard first and said, "Young Master, please calm down. Even if Xue'er made a mistake, it must have been unintentional. We are all family, so let's not ruin our harmony."

Mu Feng didn't give Aunt An a friendly look when she arrived uninvited.

He said coldly, "It would be better for Aunt An to go back to her own courtyard."

Aunt An choked for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young Master, Xue'er is young and doesn't know any better. Please be more tolerant of her."

"It seems that since Father hasn't returned to the manor for many years, things have become increasingly unruly here." Mu Feng glanced at her.

Mu Jiaojiao then spoke up, "Big brother, sister only had one argument with Miss Jiang, please forgive her."

Upon hearing her words, Mu Xue's lips curled into a cold smile.

She thought she had found the messenger who would deliver the message to the capital.

Aunt An had a sudden inspiration. She glanced at Mu Jiaojiao without showing any emotion, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration.

Only Mu Feng, after hearing Mu Jiaojiao's words, became even more convinced of Mo Shijie's statement.

Whenever he sees Mu Xue, he is reminded of his mother coughing up large amounts of blood.

He clenched his fists and roared, "Mu Xue, you're really something!! How could my Mu family have raised a daughter like you?!"

"Sorry, your Mu family has never raised me properly," Mu Xue said coldly.

Mu Feng choked.

Mu Xue waved her hand impatiently and said, "If you have nothing else to do, get out of here! Don't make me throw you out."

Mu Jiaojiao took a step back warily, hiding behind Aunt An. She had seen Mu Xue throw people before.

"Aren't you going out?" Mu Xue said.

Mu Feng frowned. He disliked Mu Xue, as well as the An family mother and daughter.

Aunt An saw that even without her fanning the flames, the fire had already started. She wisely took Mu Jiaojiao and left.

After Mu Jiaojiao went out, she asked Aunt An, "Are we just leaving like this?"

“Even if we weren’t here, Mu Feng wouldn’t easily believe Mu Xue,” Aunt An said with a light laugh.

"Mother is so thoughtful. She spoke with Brother Mo and bribed Prefect Chen in advance," Mu Jiaojiao said.

Aunt An looked around, then gave Tao'er a wink, and the two of them headed towards the pavilion in the garden.

The two sat down in the pavilion, and Tao'er also left the pavilion. The maids and nannies who followed her all retreated far away to guard the surroundings.

It's ironic, really. In the vast Mu mansion, there were many maids and nannies serving An Shi and her daughter, but Mu Xue, the legitimate daughter of the Mu family, only had Kang Mama and Su Su in her courtyard.

"Jiaojiao, was it you who sent the message to the General's Mansion?" Aunt An asked Mu Jiaojiao, though it was a question, her tone was certain.

"Mother, I, I..." Mu Jiaojiao stammered.

Now, what else did Aunt An not understand?

She said angrily, "Foolish! You exposed this and brought Mu Feng into the mess. You've made things difficult for Mu Xue, but are we doing well?"

Mu Jiaojiao said angrily, "Mother, I just can't stand seeing Mu Xue have it easy. What right does she have!"

"Why should I?" Aunt An sneered, then continued, "Because she's smarter than you!"

"Jiaojiao, have you thought about this? If Mu Feng returns to the manor, our plan will be difficult to implement." Aunt An didn't give Mu Jiaojiao a chance to speak.

Mu Jiao lowered her head and remained silent. Aunt An thought she knew she was wrong, so she softened her tone and said, "We should return to the General's Mansion in glory, not be taken back in such a disheveled state."

Seeing that Mu Jiaojiao didn't speak, she continued, "Jiaojiao, you must become the only young lady of the General's Mansion to have a chance to marry into the royal family!"

Suddenly, Mu Jiaojiao raised her head, her eyes red, her lips pouting, and her voice trembling with tears as she said, "Do you know that Father brought a girl back from the border? Now everyone in the capital knows that this woman is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion!"

She practically yelled the last sentence.

After saying that, she ran away without waiting for Aunt An's reaction.

Aunt An was also taken aback when she heard the news, as it was not mentioned in the letter An Ruhai sent yesterday.

So she really didn't know about this.

"Tao'er!" she called out hurriedly.

"Madam," Tao'er hurriedly stepped forward.

"Go and fetch Granny Wang," Aunt An said, calming herself down.

She had to find out who this woman who had been brought back was.

No one can disrupt her plans.
