Everyone in the Mu family couldn't help but gasped when they saw this scene.
Mrs. Mu looked at Mu Wan who fell to the ground with a sullen face, and pursed her lips tightly.
It is a heinous crime to harm your relatives and sisters.
But Mu Wan is the apple of Mu Rencheng's third master, and Mu Rencheng is now a great contributor to the Mu family. In normal times, Mu Wan definitely has a chance to survive.
But now, what she did was caught by the emperor. The emperor wants to deal with Mu Wan, who dares to say no?
Even if Mu Rencheng is here, he can't erase Mu Wan's sins!
Mr. Mu and his wife Qiao looked at each other with meaningful expressions in their eyes.
The eldest house of the Mu family is the eldest, but now it is outnumbered by the third house. But if the third house really collapses, it will be very disadvantageous for them. Now that something happened to Mu Wan, the third house will definitely be in chaos. It just happened. good!
Compared with the big house, the behavior of the couple in the second house is much more straightforward.
Mrs. Mu's second wife, Yang, looked pale and held Mu Yao firmly in her arms.
Mu Yao gave her a comforting look and looked at her father aside.
Mu Weishen's face was stiff, and he looked at all this blankly, as if he still didn't understand what happened.
Mu Weishen and Mu Yao walked up to him and said softly: "Father, do you know now that these people you want to live in harmony with are all a bunch of snake-hearted people? If father still expects the Mu family to be close to each other, , help each other, and one day, we will be eaten down to the point where no bones are left!"
Mu Yao had long wanted her father to see clearly how despicable the Mu family was, and to let him know that blindly avoiding them would not allow important people to live in peace.
Muweishen nodded.
How could he not know about the turbulent undercurrent in the Mu family? He just didn't expect that even a weak woman like Mu Wan could be so vicious. He felt Mu Yao's eyes and whispered: "Yao'er, father will definitely protect you and your mother." of!"
Qin Zeng stood not far away from the two of them, and he could hear clearly with his ears. He glanced at Mu Yao lightly.
Is this the reason why Mu Yao found Li Qingyi to find a way out for the Mu family?
But how did she know that Li Qingyi could help her?
Blood spilled from the corner of Mu Wan's mouth, and she managed to raise her head a little. She saw hesitation, disgust, and hatred in everyone's eyes, but no one stood up and said a word for her. Reluctance and resentment were taking turns in her eyes. "You actually treat me like this, I am..."
Mrs. Wei shouted sharply: "Wan'er!"
Mu Wan looked at her, "Grandma, save Wan'er!"
Mrs. Mu frowned, as if she had just realized what Mu Wan had done, and blamed her: "Wan'er, you have disappointed me so much, and your father so much. He loves you so much and treats you like a pearl." You hold this precious land in the palm of your hand, and by acting like this, where do you put your father?"
Mu Wan almost fainted from the pain, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Father won't blame me!"
Nian ran out of the house at this time. Seeing this scene, her lips trembled, but she quickly looked away and said to everyone: "Save my Yan'er..."
The emperor glanced at Nian and nodded, and someone immediately went in to treat Mu Yan.
Qin Zeng stood behind the emperor and watched the reaction of the Mu family.
He felt that Mrs. Mu just did not want to scold Mu Wan, but wanted to interrupt what Mu Wan was saying.
Mu Wan just said, "I am..."
But what could a little girl be?
Nian's reaction was also wrong.
Although Mu Wan was vicious, Nian's reaction when he saw that she was seriously injured shouldn't be this way.
He looked at Dou Kao and Du Ruo, who were pale, and asked, "What are your names?"
Du Ruo had betrayed Mu Wan before and told the third lady about osmanthus oil, and was very afraid that Mu Wan would kill her. In addition, she was still worried about what happened to Yu Yi. She had just heard that Mu Wan had used a knife on Mu Yan, and now she was so frightened that she could not speak.
Daukou could barely speak, so she took two steps forward and knelt at the feet of everyone. Her voice was hoarse and trembling: "My slave Daukou is the eldest girl beside Mu Wan, the eighth girl."
"You brought the emperor here, you must know what your girl is going to do?"
Daukou kowtowed, and the cowardly look on his face gradually faded away, replaced by anger and pain: "I only knew that you were coming to the house, sir, but I didn't know that the emperor would arrive incognito today."
The emperor looked down at her and said, "What do you know? To be honest, I will protect your life."
Once the emperor opens his mouth, who dares to say that someone can't do it?
Mrs. Mu and her eldest son Mu Yuanchang looked at each other, unable to hide the solemn look in their eyes.
Cardamom has received the emperor's permission. She no longer has any scruples. She is grateful for all the kindness. Her warm tears will fall on the floor of the corridor, leaving a round water stain on the wooden board. She slowly opened the sleeve of her left arm, and everyone looked over and gasped.
Daukou's entire arm was covered in black and purple. Some places could be seen to be burns, while others could not tell what kind of scars they were. There was no intact place.
Qin Zeng led Li Qingyi to lie down on the roof of Mu's house several times. He naturally knew that Mu Wan was cruel, but others still couldn't believe it.
For a while, there was no sound from all the people in the yard. They all stared blankly at the miserable arm, unable to speak to themselves for a long time.
Daukou said: "I have served the eighth girl for several years. I know very well that the eldest girl has a vicious nature. She will beat and scold her at the slightest displeasure, and she also uses various torture methods. She threatens the slaves' family members, and also uses other methods to torture people. The slaves didn't dare to say anything. The girls serving around her were miserable, and several even died inexplicably..."
Daukou burst into tears and choked with sobs: "Master Qin chose the seventh girl for the food issue. The eighth girl was very dissatisfied and tried to harm the seventh girl over and over again. However, the matter was exposed. The seventh girl thought of sisterhood and only asked the eighth girl to kneel down and apologize. Who Zhi completely angered the eighth girl... The slave girl was extremely afraid and hated her! Therefore, even if she died, she did not want to suffer this inhuman torture again, so she decided to expose all this in order to punish the evildoers and gain relief. , please forgive me for disturbing the emperor..."
The emperor said solemnly, "I was standing outside the door just now and heard clearly that this woman killed her sisters with vicious methods. Such a heinous woman must be punished with death, so she should be cut in half!"
As soon as these words came out, the Mu family's breathing froze.
Mrs. Mu wanted to say something, but could her words change the emperor's wishes?
Maybe the third son can do it, maybe the imperial concubine can do it, but they are not here, and once the emperor's order comes out, it will never be changed.
Mu Wan lay on the ground and gasped weakly. When she heard the word "cut in half", she widened her eyes unwillingly and shouted: "Qing Niang... Ru Niang, come and save me..."
The emperor asked: "Who are Qing Niang and Ru Niang?"
Qin Zeng whispered: "I heard that the maid General Mu left behind to protect Mu Wan has committed suicide by taking poison."
Of course, the emperor also noticed Mu Wan's abnormality. After hearing this, he was silent and said: "Take her to the Ministry of Punishment and choose a day for execution."
When he said that he would choose a day for execution, Mrs. Mu's expression changed. Just now she was planning to plead for mercy, but now she wished Mu Wan would die immediately.
