After the dance was over, the dancers knelt on the ground, waiting for rewards.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the lead dancer. He thought she had a great figure. Having drunk quite a bit of wine just now, he directly asked to keep her.
Mu Fengqie saw this and then understood that Mu Xingrou was trying to enter the palace. She wondered if Mu Xingrou would succeed. If she was found out, her end would probably be miserable. But if Yuan Yuchuan didn't care, then it would be another story.

Since the hunting tournament, Young Master Wang had been investigating what had happened back then. After such a long time of investigation, he finally got the answer.
Back then, after he was injured and unconscious, it was his childhood sweetheart, Miss Li, who saved him. But in order to save him, she was stabbed in the back and taken away by her family. When they came back for him, they saw that he had been saved by Mu Xingrou, so they didn't come over.
Miss Li's wound on her back was very deep, so she had to stay in bed at home for a long time, and there was a long, long scar on her back. She already felt unworthy of Young Master Wang, and now with the scar, she became even more self - abased.
After seeing Young Master Wang with Mu Xingrou, she silently withdrew.
Today, Miss Li was a bit surprised when she saw Young Master Wang coming to her door.
"Why are you here today?" Miss Li looked at Young Master Wang. There was hidden love deep in her eyes.
"If no one had told me, were you going to hide it from me for the rest of my life?"
"What are you talking about?" Miss Li's eyes flickered for a moment when she looked at Young Master Wang, and then quickly returned to normal. He couldn't have known.
Miss Li didn't attend the hunting tournament, so she didn't know that Young Master Wang already knew that Mu Xingrou was not his savior. He had investigated for a long time and found out that his savior was his childhood sweetheart.
"Are you still going to hide it? I already know that it was you who saved me back then." Young Master Wang was a bit angry. Was she still going to hide it at this point?
"How... how did you know?" Miss Li looked at Young Master Wang in a flurry.
"At the hunting tournament, Marquis Zhongning told me. If no one had told me, I would still be kept in the dark."
"I'm not worthy of you." Miss Li only said one sentence after hearing Young Master Wang's accusation.
But Young Master Wang laughed after hearing this. "Do you think I'm that kind of person? If it weren't for Mu Xingrou interfering, maybe I would have married you home long ago."
Miss Li stared at Young Master Wang with wide eyes, full of disbelief. She couldn't believe that Young Master Wang would say such a thing. Her eyes were filled with tears.
"The social status of our two families has always been very different. Moreover, there is an ugly scar on my body. How can I still be worthy of you?" She was no longer worthy.
"But I don't care. I know that the scar on your back is because you saved me. How could I ever dislike you?" Young Master Wang looked at Miss Li with love in his eyes.
The position of his main wife was reserved for her. He had never thought that his main wife would be anyone else, not even when he was with Mu Xingrou.
"Do you know how happy I am to hear this?" Miss Li looked at Young Master Wang excitedly. She didn't expect that their hearts were in tune.
The two looked at each other without saying a word, and then hugged each other.
After Yuan Yuchuan's birthday, he sent someone to bring Mu Xingrou to his room. Mu Xingrou knew that this was an opportunity given to her by Concubine Hua, so she had to seize it. As long as she got through this night, she could become the emperor's woman and would never have to suffer again.
Jing Xinche took Mu Fengqie out of the palace. In the carriage.
"It seems that Mu Xingrou came to the palace through Concubine Hua this time." Mu Fengqie heard on her way out that the emperor had someone take Mu Xingrou to his bedroom.
"It seems that after this night, Mu Xingrou is going to rise to fame and fortune." Jing Xinche's tone sounded completely indifferent.
"The daughter is living a life of wealth and prosperity in the capital. How can her old mother in the countryside live on bran and pickles?"
"What do you mean?" Jing Xinche understood what Mu Fengqie meant.
"Tomorrow, find someone to write a letter to Mu Rendong and the others. Tell them that Mu Xingrou has met a noble person in the capital, is living a life of wealth and prosperity, wants to get rid of them, and has already sent people to hunt them down."
"Do you want them to come and make trouble?" Jing Xinche could imagine the dilemma Mu Xingrou would be in when they came.
While the two were talking in the carriage, Yuan Yuhan stopped their carriage. When Mu Fengqie saw Yuan Yuhan, she remembered what had happened to Aru. Yuan Yuhan felt that Mu Fengqie's look was very strange.
"What... what's wrong? Is there a problem?" Yuan Yuhan couldn't help but shiver. He felt that Mu Fengqie's look was not kind.
Mu Fengqie and Jing Xinche glanced at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.
"Yuan Yuhan, did Aru tell you something?" Mu Fengqie looked at Yuan Yuhan. Aru hadn't told Yuan Yuhan this yet, or he wouldn't be so calm.
"What did Aru want to tell me?" Yuan Yuhan was a bit puzzled.
"Aru is pregnant with twins."
"Oh, so it's dou... " Yuan Yuhan didn't react at first. "What did you just say?"
"Tell me again?" Yuan Yuhan stood up excitedly, but since they were in the carriage, his head hit the roof directly. But he didn't care and kept asking Jing Xinche to confirm this news.
"I said, Aru is pregnant with twins!" Was it really necessary to be so excited? It was just having children. Just two of them. In the future, he and Qier could also have children, many of them!
Thinking of this, Jing Xinche's look at Yuan Yuhan became even less kind.
"Is this... really true?" Yuan Yuhan stomped his feet excitedly in the carriage. If the space hadn't been so limited, he would have jumped up.
"Of course it's true, so you can't get away today." Mu Fengqie began to stretch her muscles, and Jing Xinche rolled up his sleeves.
"What do you mean?" Yuan Yuhan shrank back when he saw their actions. "What are you going to do? Let me tell you, I'm a prince. If you dare to do anything, I won't spare you."
Hearing this, Jing Xinche, who had originally planned to go easy on him, directly used all his strength.
"Ah! Help!" Yuan Yuhan's miserable cries came from the carriage, but no one came in to save him. So Yuan Yuhan was beaten all the way by Jing Xinche and Mu Fengqie.
The two kindly sent him back to his mansion. The butler almost didn't recognize him when he came out to pick him up.
Yuan Yuhan looked at the carriage going away and kept cursing in his heart. Didn't they say that you shouldn't hit a person in the face? You're so unsportsmanlike!
