spect our grandmother. How can there be no relationship"Grandmother Xiao nodded repeatedly, but then heard Ye Wenyan say again: "Grandma Don't be ridiculous, I just passed by, my great-grandfather is...Quan Qingcheng watched Mu Shi kneel down and didn't stop her. Even though Mu Shi was the mother of his gentle-hearted sister, he still let her kneel.

"Indeed, I have failed as a father." 。"Qianqing confronted Mu Shi, saying, “But my anger isn't because the Madam doesn't teach her daughter well. " 。On the contrary, Madam, you have raised your children very well. For example, the eldest son, the eldest daughter, and even the fourth young lady, they are all excellent. 。The only bad thing about this second young miss is that she wasn't raised by the mistress. 。She was raised by Old Madam Ye, so if we're talking about failing to raise a daughter properly, the blame should go to Old Madam Ye. 。"

Old Madam Ye shivered and knelt down as well. " 。But she was smart, saying nothing. After all, the crime of raising a daughter improperly wasn't punishable by death. At most, she'd receive some scolding. As for Ye Lianmian, whatever crimes she committed were her own to bear. She didn't care one bit about living or dying. 。Quan Qingcheng glanced at her, snorted coldly, but didn't say anything to her. 。He just said to Lady Mu again, "But Madam, do you know what truly angers me It's that gold hairpin!"

He stepped forward and snatched the hairpin from Xiao Ziming's hand, handing it to Lady Mu. >>>。"Empress Dowager, look at this. This was given to your youngest daughter many years ago by Young Master Xiao. I just wanted to ask, why has your youngest daughter never seen it before, yet it ended up in the hands of your second daughter Did your second daughter steal it, or did someone give it to her"Mu's heart skipped a beat, and her memory drifted back many years ago... 。At that time, her children were all still young and her husband was away from home year after year. She had to manage everything in the household. 。Although she had a lot on her plate, she was still young and didn't feel tired. She just missed her second daughter very much. 。Especially in the mornings, when she saw her second daughter standing obediently beside the elderly matriarch, bowing politely and calling her "mother" stiffly before going silent again, it filled her heart with pain. 。She knew her daughter didn't love her, but that was flesh that had fallen off of her body. Her daughter could choose not to acknowledge her, but she couldn't choose not to acknowledge her daughter. 。But she didn't know how to win her daughter's affection, so she could only try her best to satisfy her daughter's every whim. 。So whenever her second daughter comes to ask for money, she gives it to her. Even when her second daughter wants something from her other sisters, she encourages the other children to give their things away. 。Because my second daughter said, although she grew up beside the old lady, she was after all living under someone else's roof. If she couldn't even take care of the old lady, the old lady would get angry at her. 。And her future marriage will certainly be decided by the old lady. She can't get along without pleasing her, can she These things are not what she wants to use herself, they are all taken to honor the old lady, only in this way can the old lady be kind to her. 。When her second daughter said this, her heart broke even more. She felt that this daughter truly had a hard time. 。Thus, she poured out all her possessions, giving the best to her second daughter. She also sent over her eldest and youngest daughters' good things, including this gold hairpin. 。She clearly remembered that year on the night of Ye Wen's birthday, as General Lao's most beloved granddaughter, Ye Wen always received many gifts on her birthday. 。That year, I received a particularly large number of gifts because the old general had also returned to Beijing and personally hosted Ye Wenyan's birthday banquet. 。The people from the Duke of Ningguo's mansion also came to celebrate her birthday, and Prince Xiao even sent a gold hairpin. 。 Unfortunately, Ye Wenyan was already devoted to the Sixth Prince at that time and paid little attention to gifts from others. Even when Xiao Shidi presented her with a box containing a gold hairpin, claiming it had been carefully crafted by him in front of her, Ye Wenyan remained indifferent. She simply chatted with others and didn't even glance at Xiao Shidi. 。But this hairpin was coveted by the second daughter. After her birthday banquet, she went to ask for it. 。She didn't want to give it at first, but her second daughter said that if you don't give it to her, you're being biased. Just make sure your youngest daughter has good things, regardless of my life or death. 。I'm also your child, why does she have things that I don't You must not like me, so you gave me away to grandma as soon as I was born. 。She couldn't bear to hear such words, so she could only quietly bring the things to give her. 。Luckily, Ye Wen didn't mind at the time. Those things were just external possessions to her. She had already entrusted them to her family to take care of. All she cared about was the gift from His Royal Highness Sixth Prince. As long as she didn't touch anything given by His Royal Highness Sixth Prince, she didn't care about anything else. 。The golden hairpin ended up in Ye Lianmian's hands like this. Unexpectedly, these years Ye Lianmian had been keeping it all along, and today she took it out to harm people again. 。Now that the Emperor asked, Mu thought back to her past years and felt that she had truly failed as a mother. 。Previously, I always felt sorry for my second daughter. Looking back now, I realize that the real apology is owed to these children right here by my side. 。All the good things were given to the second daughter when she turned around, but she was still not satisfied. 。Seeing Mu Shi remain silent, Quan Qingcheng let out a heavy hum, expressing his displeasure. 。He said to Mu Shi: "You are sacrificing the interests of others to favor your second daughter. This is your family's business, and I have nothing to do with it." 。"But you stole Fourth Miss's things to give to someone else, I think this is wrong!" Mu lowered her head again, "Indeed, it was wrong. As a mother, I..." 。" It's not as serious a crime as being a fake mother. You are the real mother of the Fourth Miss, so even I can't really punish you." 。But what needs to be said, I must say. And what needs to be heard, you must hear. 。Even if you, Madam Ye, cannot be perfectly impartial, your bias should not be so blatant. 。Even if you wanted to give this hairpin away, at least you should ask your youngest daughter if she's willing. 。Now, Fourth Miss's reaction is clearly that she's never seen this before. I suppose back then, you didn't even ask about it. This isn't right. 。I won't comment on your family affairs, but let me just say that Miss Four has seemed glamorous these past years, but in reality, she has suffered greatly. 。Everyone says she's the witch of the Ye family, but in my eyes, your second daughter is the real witch. 。“Quan Qingcheng’s words resonated with the court officials, who all nodded in agreement.” 。Of course, not everyone agreed. Some just followed the emperor's lead and went along with his mood. 。For example, there are Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng, and for another example, the Right Minister. 。These people nodded, and others unconsciously followed suit. 。Those few who were truly unwilling to follow the emperor's wishes, felt that if they didn't go along, they would stand out too much. So, they followed suit and agreed as well. 。This series of actions, seen by Mu Shi, added another layer of heartache to her already burdened heart. 。 It's fortunate that Quan Qingcheng wouldn't make things too difficult for her, nor would he burden her with too much psychological pressure. He was also unwilling to delve into the intricacies of the Mu family at this time, after all, the protagonist is Ye Lianmeng! So he waved his hand, signaling to the Mu family to get up, and then added: "At the end of the day, this is your family affair. Even if I feel sorry for the fourth miss in my heart, it's not appropriate for me to intervene too much." 。"Go home and think it over! Right now, let's talk about your second daughter. She tried to poison someone, and your Ye family should give the Xiao family an explanation!" 。“ Mu shi got up and was about to turn back to speak to the Duke of Ningguo when she heard the Sixth Prince ponder for a moment before saying, “Didn't I collect everything that was owed last time I came to your residence How come Miss Er still has a gold hairpin on her Was it because my Su Wangfu people were not thorough enough in their search, or did Miss Er hide it somewhere they couldn't think of”Ye Lianmian looked utterly hopeless. “I don’t have one, I didn’t hide it! Your Highness, please listen to me, you can’t frame me like this!” 。" The prince waved his hand dismissively. "This king does not wish to hear you speak, so please remain silent. If you dare utter another word, this king will sew your mouth shut." 。As for your hiding things, I was thinking... perhaps it's because you are the daughter of a respected physician that last time we searched the mansion, the servants of Duke Su spared you, not searching too thoroughly, or maybe they didn't touch your belongings at all. 。Okay, see you next time. Next time this king comes again, I'll definitely remember not to leave you behind. 。 "People are all discussing when the Sixth Prince came to General's Mansion to raid the house This Sixth Prince is too bold, isn't he afraid that Madam and Miss Four will beat him out This is intentional provocation! If it were us, after such an incident happened, we would have to walk around General's Mansion in the future. How could he send himself to the door to find trouble "Mrs. Mu didn't care about these discussions. She turned to face Marquis Ningguo, bowed respectfully, and then said: "This matter is not the fault of Prince Xiao, it was our daughter who was wrong first and then framed afterwards. It is my family who owes an apology to the Xiao family. I have given the Marquis a gift as compensation." 。As for her poisoning people, I will hand her over to the authorities and let the laws of Northern Qi deal with her. 。“She spoke and again bowed to Duke Ningguo. Duke Ningguo hurriedly stepped forward, gave her a slight support, and then said: “Just make things clear. Our two families are old acquaintances, and my brother Jinggui and I have been friends for many years. There’s no need to come to such a point of death or life.” 。Second Miss was also momentarily confused, luckily the matter only occurred within the household. Our Hou Mansion will not pursue it, and Madam won't send Second Miss to court either. 。" The Marquis of Ningguo behaved very magnanimously, and indeed, as he said, it was on account of the friendship between the two families over many years. 。Today is the day Ye Ge returns to his grave. He and Ye Ge have been close friends for decades, so he can't send his daughter to prison on his friend's death anniversary, right How could his friend rest in peace underground then

But before... the Duke of Ningguo looked at Madam Mu again and said: "Madam, since this is a misunderstanding, we can just forget about what we said before..."

"Mu shi naturally knew what he was talking about, and she hadn't intended to agree to it anyway, so she nodded. " 。But she shook her head and cried endlessly, howling: "What do you want to do My innocent daughter was ruined by Xiao Ziming, and now the Xiao family doesn't want to take responsibility Mu Qianqiu, what are you doing Why don't you fight for me Do you really want to ruin my life You abandoned me from birth, now you don't want me, and now you still want to stop my marriage" "What marriage What marriage do you say I have with you!" Xiao Ziming finally exploded, shouting at Ye Lianmiao - >l smash you next. Because she ended up like this today, it's all thanks to you. You taught her like this, so you deserve a beating! Don't worry, my young mistress is capable. Even if I beat you to dea...
