Chapter 73
After seeing off Jun Lingyi and the people hired by Prince Qi's mansion, Mu Qingling thought that what was waiting for her next would be Prime Minister Mu's anger, but the other party just gave a light command and said nothing. This incident really surprised Mu Qingling. In her opinion, with Mu Cheng's attitude towards her, even if he didn't get angry at her, he should scold him anyway. It was not her asking for abuse, but Prime Minister Mu's attitude today was the first time he saw it.
Seeing that Prime Minister Mu did not mention Mu Qingling's return all night last night, Liu couldn't help but gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "Prince, the third lady did not return all night last night. If this matter spreads, wouldn't it affect the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Ying Han is about to leave the house..."
Mu Qingling lazily interrupted her, "Does my wife have a bad memory or what's wrong? I have already said that I went to Chengde Temple."
Mu Yinghan said quietly: "Sister, although you went to Chengde Temple, you didn't say anything to your family and went out with Prince Ning. As a woman, my sister suddenly went out with the man all night and did not return..."
Mu Qingling sneered, "What is inevitable? My sister thinks she is not as bold as her sister. Could it be that the fourth sister has forgotten something?"
When Mu Qingling looked at Mu Yinghan's eyes that were pointing to something, Mu Yinghan's face turned pale, obviously remembering the thing that Mu Qingling discovered not long ago. Mu Qingling sneered the corner of her lower lip, "It seems that the fourth sister has remembered it."
Prime Minister Mu looked at Mu Yinghan with some confusion when he heard Mu Qingling's words. It was not difficult to hear from Mu Qingling's words that Mu Yinghan must have done something and was caught by her. He immediately turned cold and said sternly: "Yinghan, what does your third sister mean?"
Mu Yinghan's face changed, she glared at Mu Qingling secretly, and in a blink of an eye, she changed into a very aggrieved look, biting her cherry lips and said, "Father, Han'er knows what the third sister means. The third sister clearly did something wrong, but she deliberately... Yinghan, Yinghan..." Speaking of this, Mu Yinghan looked completely moaning and looked like she was bullied.
Liu hugged Mu Yinghan, who looked pitiful, and looked at Mu Qingling with dissatisfaction, then said: "Qingling, although you did something wrong in this matter, as long as you sincerely admit your mistake, everyone will naturally not say anything about you. But what is the point of pulling Yinghan in to escape responsibility?"
"I really admit my mistake. Haha, my madam's words are so interesting. Could it be that every time my madam goes to Chengde Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, she has to repent if she doesn't go home in time?" Mu Qingling sneered.
"You..." Liu choked up and stared at her with a pale face, "I went to burn incense and worship Buddha and pray for everyone, and it was inevitable that the time was delayed was a bit long. Qingling, what are you doing? You have to go all night."
Mu Qingling glanced at her faintly, and really doubted whether there was any problem with her memory. "I didn't say that, go to see Master Kongru with Prince Ning." Compared to Master Kongru in Mu Qingling's mouth, Liu's incense and worship of Buddha seemed a bit insignificant. It should be noted that Master Kongru is hosted by the annual sacrifice ceremony. With this, it is enough to show Master Kongru's status as a great person.
"You really met Master Kongru yesterday." Prime Minister Mu said with some doubts. Although Master Kongru was practicing in Cheng'an Temple and there were not many people who visited him, except for the annual offering ceremony, few people could see him. Now that he heard Mu Qingling say he had paid homage to Master Kongru, Prime Minister Mu was not surprised to have some doubts.
Mu Qingling said: "I saw it. It was introduced by Prince Ning himself."
"Prince..." Liu, who was standing beside him, said unwillingly.
Prime Minister Mu looked at her impatiently and said, "Since Qingling is going to pay homage to Master Kongru, this matter ends here. From now on, the original emperor doesn't want to hear any news about this matter again."
Liu said with some reluctance: "But Qingling ran out with a man without returning all night without returning, could this matter be forgotten? If other children in the mansion follow suit, wouldn't it be a mess?"
"Then what do you want?" Prime Minister Mu frowned slightly, obviously agreeing with Liu's concerns.
Liu's eyes lit up, and he squinted Mu Qingling with some pride, and then said to Prime Minister Mu: "In my opinion, since I want to deal with it, it must serve as a warning to others. It is better to let Qingling go to Jingxin Temple outside the city to copy the scriptures and think about it behind closed doors for a month, so..."
"Damn it!"
Before Liu could finish his words, he heard Prime Minister Mu's rage, and then a teacup was thrown at Liu's feet. Liu shrank for a moment, not understanding what he had angered Prime Minister Mu.
Prime Minister Mu said angrily: "Qingling is about to leave the house less than a month. If you ask her to go to Jingxin Temple to think about her mistakes behind closed doors, you are a blind man if you are a member of the Ning Prince's Mansion." If he really sent Mu Qingling to Jingxin Temple, the next moment he would probably be the offense of the Ning Prince's Mansion.
The Ning Mansion had just arrived to hire appoint a while ago. His Prime Minister's Mansion immediately sent his daughter to Jingxin Temple. This undoubtedly put the face of the Ning Mansion under the ground. It would be okay if Mu Qingling really made any mistakes, but the reason was that Mu Qingling and Jun Lingyi went to Cheng'an Temple. If they really did this, everyone in the capital would still not know how to think about his Prime Minister's Mansion.
Liu's expression was slightly stiff, and he knew that his request was a bit too much, so he said voluntarily: "I'm not thinking about the children of the Prime Minister's House, so I just thought about it for a moment..."
"If you don't have that brain, don't give me some messy ideas. You don't have a reputation, but you still want it." Prime Minister Mu snorted coldly, obviously because of Liu's self-righteous decision.
Liu's face instantly turned into a pig's liver. Prime Minister Mu's words were even more unpleasant than saying that she was brainless. But in front of the younger generation, he looked at Mu Qingling, who was staring at her sarcastically, and wanted to rush up and tear her to pieces.
When Mu Yinghan, who was standing beside him, saw Prime Minister Mu say this, his pretty face changed again and again, and said quietly: "Father, how can you... say that mother? She is also thinking about the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"If she really has some concerns about the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't make any endless things for the original minister." Prime Minister Mu snorted and looked at Mu Qingling and said, "You have nothing to do during this period to see those female quarrels and female training. I don't want to have a second such thing. I also pay attention to the etiquette that should be there. Don't marry into the Ning Prince's Mansion and lose my prime minister's mansion."
Mu Qingling lowered her eyes and said lightly: "Remember my father's teachings."
Seeing that Prime Minister Mu had made a decision in such a hurry, Mu Yinghan shouted unwillingly: "Father..."
"The same goes for you. Let me wait for marriage at home peacefully." Prime Minister Mu left this sentence lightly, regardless of how big the Liu family and daughter had at this time, and directly threw their sleeves and left.
Mu Yinghan looked at Prime Minister Mu's departure with some reluctance. Until Prime Minister Mu disappeared from his sight, he looked at Mu Qingling hatefully, "Mu Qingling, you are so good."
Mu Qingling said lightly: "If it weren't for your mother and daughter's thoughts too dark, the result might be different." As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qingling no longer paid attention to the changeable expression of the Liu family and daughter, and slowly left the hall of the prime minister's mansion.
