"Okay, tell me directly... Just tell me what you want to do." Mu Qingyi said impatiently. Rong Jin was still asleep in her room. She didn't want the bastard to wake up and cause any trouble for her.

After a moment of silence in the hall, Mu Changming said in a deep voice: "Your second brother is dead. Is your father planning to adopt your third brother to his wife's name?"

"My mother doesn't need an heir." Mu Qingyi refused without hesitation.

Mu Changming's face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am talking about Sun!" Mu Qingyi looked at the expressions of everyone silently, and suddenly burst out laughing, saying with some amusement: "Adopting the concubine's son to a concubine? What does the father want to do? It would be fine if the third brother's biological mother had more children, but his mother only had the third brother. What's more, although Aunt Chen is also a concubine, she is still a good concubine for someone with innocent family. What do you want to adopt her son to a woman from a girl? In addition, the second brother's body is not cold... The father came to do this early in the morning. Aren't you afraid that the second brother will die and come back to visit his parents every night?"

Upon hearing this, Sun couldn't help but shudder. This time, she didn't really want to adopt a child so urgently, after all, she really loved her son. Moreover, although the third young master Mu Ke was only ten years old, he was already at the age of becoming sensible. Even if he was adopted, he might not be able to support a family. However, this time, it was obviously Mrs. Mu and Mu Changming who were even more anxious.

Mu Changming said a little angry: "You don't need to worry about this!"

Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Since that's the case, why did my father come to me early in the morning?" Since she didn't plan to listen to her opinion, Mu Qingyi was really confused about what these people were doing. Mu Changming gritted his teeth and said, "I want to officially support Sun as the official wife and do the work together with Ke'er!"

Mu Qingyi suddenly realized that Mu Ling's sudden death would inevitably affect Concubine Rou in the palace. Reinforcing Sun's integrity was a reassurance. However, it was difficult for Sun's age to become pregnant again, so adopting Mu Ke as the legitimate son can be considered a way to make up for Mu Ling's death. All this was obviously not for Sun himself, but for Mu Feiluan, who was about to be promoted to the noble concubine. However, it was easy to adopt Mu Ke to Sun, but it was extremely difficult to promote Sun's integrity. As long as Mu Qingyi, the opposition to being the legitimate daughter, unless the emperor forced the order, Sun would never be the wife of the Sucheng Hou's Mansion in the next life.

"Turn them all out!" Mu Qingyi's face darkened and she said in a deep voice.

Everyone in the hall was stunned, and Mu Changming said sternly: "What did you say!"

Mu Qingyi also had no good expression and sneered: "I have said a long time ago that the Sucheng Marquis' Mansion needs a wife, I will not stop him, but if you want to carry a concubine to the same position as my mother, don't think about it! Father, do you want to humiliate my mother, or... want to humiliate yourself?" Mu Changming was so angry that his face turned blue and he couldn't speak for a while.

"You... a wicked daughter! This marquis doesn't have a daughter like you!" After a long time, Mu Changming roared. Mu Qingyi sneered: "It just so happens that I didn't think of a father like you. Why don't my father tell the world and drive me, an unfilial daughter, out of the house? I'll wait..."

Exited from the house? Mu Changming really wanted to do this. But... he didn't dare!

He drove away a group of people who came to the door early in the morning to make trouble. Mu Qingyi looked at Mu Chen who did not leave in the end and raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you not leaving yet?" Mu Chen shook her head helplessly and sighed, "Does my father always think about the Sun and his mother and son?" Mu Chen was disappointed again with Mu Changming's father. Mu Ling died, and Mu Changming still thought of adopting Mu Ke to Sun, rather than placing high hopes for him, the eldest son.

Mu Qingyi shook her head and smiled, "No, what he was thinking about was not Sun's mother and son, but... the interests. It was Rou Concubine Rou in the palace, or... the little prince in Rou Concubine Rou's belly. If the eldest brother still remembers what I said, then make plans." Mu Chen nodded and said, "I understand. Now that I have nothing to look forward to... I used to be my opponent, but now Mu Ling is dead, but he still can't see me. What else can I say?"

Mu Qingyi smiled carelessly and disagreed with Mu Chen's pain and loss. Mu Chen sighed and said, "I really didn't expect that Mu Ling would... die like this."

Mu Chen had imagined the ending of Mu Ling many times. For example, he was tortured to death after offending Mu Qingyi, and he died of depression in officialdom, and after he grabbed the position of Sucheng Hou, he died of despair. But he never thought that Mu Ling would fall into the lake in the imperial garden for no reason and drowned.

Yes, the result given by the imperial physician in the palace was that he was drowned when drunk. Mu Ling had no scars or traces of struggle on his body, and many people proved that he had drunk a lot of wine and left alone. He also found a large number of drunken bottles in the rockery pile by the lake. All of these evidences proved that Mu Ling was really in a bad mood and drank too much and fell into the lake. However, the place where he fell into the water was rarely visited, so no one saw him falling into the water and naturally no one saved him. He could only wait until the body floated up the next day before he was discovered.

"Miss Qi, the father-in-law who was sent to the palace is here." Outside the door, the housekeeper in the mansion came hurriedly to report. Mu Qingyi raised her eyebrows and stood up and said, "Go and have a look."

In the main hall of Sucheng Hou Mansion, everyone in Sucheng Hou Mansion was there. The person dressed in eunuchs and general managers were sitting and drinking tea. When he saw Mu Qingyi coming in, he quickly got up, greeted him with a smile, and said with a little flattering voice: "I have seen the princess."

Mu Qingyi raised her hand and said, "My father-in-law is exempted from gifts. What's the matter with my father-in-law coming?"

The eunuch at the eunuch laughed and said, "Everything happened in a hurry last night. Your Majesty said that he was wronged. Early this morning, Your Majesty ordered his servants to come and send some things to the princess." After that, the eunuch at the eunuch took out a bright yellow silk from his sleeve and spread it, and said loudly: "Princess Mingze received the eunuch."

Everyone in the Sucheng Hou’s Mansion and Mu Qingyi knelt down to receive the order.

"Changning Princess Mu Qingyi, Changning Princess Duan Fang Xianjing, was very skilled in etiquette, was very smart and talented, and was promoted to Princess. He was given the title of Mingze. He also gave a Princess's Villa by the Yangliu River, with 3,000 mu of fertile land, 50,000 taels of silver, twelve shops, and three imperial villages..." There were countless gold, silver and jewelry, rare antiques, etc. He only listened to the eunuch's title of eunuch who was sent to the order for a long time. Everyone couldn't help but envy so much wealth, and was even more surprised at the favor of Emperor Hua for the newly-secret princess. No wonder even Emperor Hua posted around him.
