Mu Aotian's face tensed up. He had expected that the Crown Prince would not be too harsh on him for his sake. However, this agreement was really forcing his daughter into a dead end.
His daughter was once the noblest daughter of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Even though she had met with misfortune four years ago, she was still the eldest daughter of the Mu family. Even if she brought her child back now, she was still the treasure of the Mu family. How could she allow others to humiliate her like this?
Wasn't it just humiliation? The eldest daughter of the Mu family was going to be a maidservant for her ex-fiancé. How unpleasant would it be if word got out?
Three million taels of gold. How could it be so easy for the Mu Family to take out this sum of money? Even if they wanted to raise money, it would still take time. However, the Crown Prince had set a time limit of three days. This meant that he was not going for money, but for the additional condition.
This crown prince wanted the Mu family's daughter to be his maidservant, but he left the Mu family leeway.
After figuring out this fact, Mu Aotian's face turned as dark as ink.
What kind of deep hatred was this? This crown prince had been going around in circles for a long time. He was here to humiliate his daughter…
……
"Your Highness, what do you mean?”
Mu Aotian's face darkened. He could not tolerate his precious girl being humiliated by the Crown Prince.
Upon hearing Mu Aotian's question, Di Wanye looked up indifferently, her face unperturbed," Prince Mu, do you think there's anything wrong with this agreement?"”
"Of course it's inappropriate, Your Highness. Even though this old minister's daughter was at fault for snatching your Thousand Year Lotus, our Mu Family has already shown 120% sincerity to apologize and make up for it.
This old minister will gather as much money as you want, but why only three days?
This old minister can tell that the Crown Prince is targeting this old minister's daughter.”
Mu Aotian had a straightforward personality, so he said it directly. He was even prepared to turn hostile.
……
On the other side, Jiang Zihao's face was filled with joy as he looked at the Mu Family's dark faces. He was in a good mood again. He could clearly hear Mu Aotian's questions and was very happy. He kept winking at his cousin. He could tell that his cousin was really good to him. He was helping him vent his anger.
"Ha…"
As soon as Duke Mu finished speaking, Di Wanye suddenly smiled coldly.
The aura around him suddenly turned cold.
His cold eyes were long, narrow, and deep, like inkstones buried underground for thousands of years, exuding incomparable nobility and dignity.
"That's right, Bengong is indeed going for Eldest Young Miss Mu.”
Di Wanye's eyes were sharp and cold as she stared at Lu Tang.
Mu Aotian didn't expect Di Wanye to suddenly change her attitude and admit it so directly. He was burning with anger," Your Highness, you don't put our Mu family in your eyes."”
Mu Aotian's chest heaved up and down. He really couldn't see through this Crown Prince. He didn't understand what he was trying to do. Why was he so fixated on his daughter? Isn't it just a Thousand Year Lotus? He didn't care about this before.
"Heh, who can be more courageous than Eldest Miss Mu?”
Di Wanye sneered coldly.
"What does the Crown Prince mean?"
Mu Aotian's anger had already reached his eyebrows.
Di Wanye's gaze passed Mu Aotian and looked at Lu Tang," Eldest Miss Mu, aren't you going to say it yourself?”
Lu Tang hid behind Mu Aotian. When Di Wanye called her name, she was smart and instantly understood Di Wanye's purpose.
She had saved them together.
Then the matter of feeding poison…
"Ahem…"
Lu Tang cleared her throat and took a step forward.
"Say what? Is there anything this king doesn't know?”
Mu Aotian saw Lu Tang's eyes flickering, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mu AoTian thought of the 'important matter' that his daughter had told him about, and his heart skipped a beat. He looked at his son and saw that Mu Xuanyun also had an expression of ignorance.
"Girl, is there anything else?"
He asked again.
Di Wanye had a superior look on her face, her thin lips pursed tightly, like a cold noble young master. She didn't intend to speak, but waited for Lu Tang to kneel down on both knees, bend down in front of her, and offer the antidote.
"That…"
Lu Tang brushed the stray hair on his forehead, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Everyone was looking at her.
He was still aggressive just a moment ago, but now he had calmed down.
"First Uncle, my mother is most likely in trouble again.”
Yuan Bao whispered into Mu Xuanyun's ear.
Mu Xuanyun's eyebrows twitched and he asked in a low voice," What do you mean?”
"My mother was like this when she got into trouble. I'm most familiar with her…!”
Mu Xuanyun was speechless.
Everyone's eyes fell on her, and she couldn't avoid them. She looked at Di Wanye's piercing gaze and then at Mu Xuanyun's encouraging and trusting gaze. Lu Tang's heart relaxed. Fortunately, she had a good father.
"Um, Father, can you protect me no matter what I do?”
Lu Tang confirmed again.
This made her feel that the matter was a little serious.
Moreover, she couldn't tell whether the matter of feeding poison to Di Wanye was more serious or if she had just spat out a mouthful of saliva.
"Yes, with Father here, there's no need to be afraid."
Mu AoTian was indomitable.
Lu Tang was relieved. She cleared her throat and tried her best to speak in a light tone." Actually, it's nothing serious. I just accidentally fed Di Wan... His Highness the Crown Prince a poison..."
Lu Tang spoke calmly and even used honorifics, but her words were like a bomb dropping.
Phew...
Huh?
Nothing serious?
He fed the Crown Prince a pill of poison? This was nothing serious? This, this, this was a great crime of beheading.
Not only was Mu Aotian stunned by Lu Tang's words, but Mu Xuanyun also had a serious expression on his face. He felt that this matter was a little serious.
The Mu family's treasure had caused a huge mess the moment she returned.
No wonder Di Wanye wanted to mess with their servant girl, this was still giving the Mu family enough face.
In an instant, the atmosphere became extremely quiet.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense. Did you really, really feed the Crown Prince a poison?”
Mu Aotian was the most shocked. He simply could not believe that these words came from his precious daughter. Their Mu family was the most loyal to the Great Zhou Imperial Family. To think that such a treasonous thing like feeding the Crown Prince with poison would actually happen to their Mu family.
Mu AoTian's brain was about to explode.
"What, you poisoned my Crown Prince cousin? You poisoned the Crown Prince to death. Mu Haitang, how dare you? You have committed a crime that will kill all your family members.”
Jiang Zihao was originally feeling good about his cousin helping him vent his anger by teaching Haitang a lesson. However, the topic suddenly changed. What did he hear? Mu Haitang fed the Crown Prince's cousin poison?
Heavens!
He immediately jumped out and roared at Lu Tang.
"Shut up."
Lu Tang glared at Jiang Zihao.
Her eyes were wide open, and she was still intimidating enough to scare Jiang Zihao. However, when she thought about the situation, she glared back at him," What? What? Is the Mu family rebelling? I'm going to report this to the Emperor immediately. How dare you poison the Crown Prince? Why don't you go to heaven?"”
Jiang Zihao shouted and was about to leave.
This guy was serious.
Moreover, when these words came out of his mouth, it was really serious. It had risen to the level of rebellion. If these words reached the ears of the Emperor, their Mu family would be roasted on the fire.
It was obvious that Haitang realized how serious Jiang Zihao's accusation was.
This was originally just a spar between her and Di Wanye. She spat out the 'poison' in order to protect herself. Di Wanye knew it herself, so she only wanted to deal with her and didn't want to implicate the Mu family.
However, Jiang Zihao, that idiot, completely changed the meaning of his words.
Lu Tang already had nowhere to vent her anger. Seeing that Jiang Zihao was really going to go out and complain, she knew that he was going to cause trouble! He walked past Mu Aotian in two or three steps and arrived in front of Jiang Zihao. Without a word, he executed a beautiful roundhouse kick towards Jiang Zihao's chest.
Her posture was beautiful and her movements were smooth. Coupled with the cold expression on her face, she looked like a queen. She sent Jiang Zihao flying and crashing onto the ground.
Jiang Zihao was stunned. This was his second fall of the day.
Everyone was stunned.
She was supposed to be gentle, dignified, and virtuous, but her temper seemed to be really bad.
"This young lady has long wanted to teach you a lesson. You simply don't have a brain and are full of punching holes.”
Lu Tang said angrily.
If it wasn't for Jiang Zihao, that idiot, would she have offended God? How could he lose face in front of the Mu family's father and brother?
Mu Aotian was also a little confused. Was this fierce girl his obedient daughter? His daughter was so timid that she couldn't even bear to step on an ant. She spoke gently and wouldn't raise her voice at others, let alone hit them.
This…
"Enough."
Di Wanye snorted with a dark expression. He felt that Mu Haitang was too arrogant. She really did not put him in her eyes. She actually dared to lay a hand on Jiang Zihao in front of him. Well, this woman even dared to lay a hand on him. What else would she not dare to do?
"Antidote."
Di Wanye said coldly.
Lu Tang rolled her eyes.
This roll of the eyes was very technical. There was disdain and mockery in it, and there was also an indescribable sense of amusement.
"Girl, I will ask you one last time. Tell me the truth. Did you really poison the Crown Prince?”
Mu Aotian's head was about to explode. He glared at Lu Tang, his heart in his throat.
The next moment, Lu Tang blinked." Father, I didn't poison him…"
"Mu Haitang, do you think it's too late to deny it now?”
Di Wanye asked coldly.
Lu Tang pursed her red lips." Don't you know whether I poisoned you or not? Your Highness, it's been so long. Is there anything wrong with your body? No way, I was just scaring you. I didn't poison you at all. How could I do such a treasonous thing?”
Lu Tang said with an open face.
When Mu Aotian and Mu Xuanyun heard Lu Tang's words, they heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding.
However, Di Wanye's expression did not look good at all. He said," Since you didn't poison me, then what was that icy cold thing that entered my mouth?”
