Well, she was right. Except that the master didn't knock anything over, everything else was the truth. She'd knock something over when she got back so no one would suspect.
"How dare you! Where is Mu Rendong?" Yuan Yuchuan was truly enraged. He never thought Mu Rendong would be so bold as to even lay a hand on his woman. He really didn't know how to live.
"Your Majesty, Mu Rendong has been captured by the maids and is now waiting outside the hall," Xiao Yi reported without hesitation. The younger brother of Concubine Mu? Humph! Their mistress was one of the four noble concubines. How dare he show off in front of their mistress? They'd teach him a lesson!
"Bring him in!" When Yuan Yuchuan said this, he gave a fierce look at Mu Xingrou, who was kneeling on the ground.
Mu Xingrou was panicked by that look. No, she had to find a way. She absolutely couldn't let Mu Rendong drag her down. She still dreamed of becoming the mother of the nation.
Mu Fengqie never thought this matter was related to Mu Rendong. Well, she was in an extremely good mood now. She had thought Mu Rendong would behave himself for a while after coming out of the gambling house, but it had only been a few days and he had caused such a big commotion.
This time, she wanted to see if Mu Rendong, who usually flaunted Mu Xingrou's name to bully others, would still do so this time.
Thinking of this, Mu Fengqie leaned on Jing Xinche's shoulder, found a comfortable position, and was ready to watch the show. Jing Xinche looked at Mu Fengqie leaning on him, smiled, and slowly relaxed his body so that she wouldn't feel too stiff.
When Mu Rendong was brought in by the eunuchs, he was not the least bit flustered. His steps were as leisurely as if he were strolling in his own backyard. In fact, Mu Rendong was really not afraid.
Because he knew that Mu Xingrou had been favored by the emperor every day recently. As long as Mu Xingrou pleaded for him, he would definitely be fine. In the end, only this bitch would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Mu Rendong gave a fierce glare at Concubine Shu when passing by her. Concubine Shu shivered and shrank into Mrs. Xu's arms. "Mother, save me." I'm scared... I can't help but give him a few blows.
Mrs. Xu thought Concubine Shu was really scared by Mu Rendong and glared back fiercely. When Mu Rendong glared at his daughter, Lord Xu quietly stuck out a foot. Without surprise, Mu Rendong knelt on the ground all of a sudden.
"Thud!" The sound was very loud.
Everyone in the main hall touched their knees. This Mu Rendong was obviously a tough guy. Kneeling so loudly made them feel ashamed.
Mu Rendong wasn't paying attention and was tripped by an unknown object. Looking at the emperor on the high throne in the hall, he didn't get up again.
He shouted, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long!"
"Mu Rendong, do you know your crime?" Yuan Yuchuan looked at Mu Rendong with a bellyful of anger.
"I don't know what crime I've committed," Mu Rendong said as he looked up. When he saw Mu Xingrou, he felt relieved. As long as she was here, he would be fine.
Mu Fengqie looked at Mu Rendong's innocent look and smiled. Didn't he still think that Mu Xingrou could settle everything for him? She really didn't know where his confidence came from.
"How dare you! Mu Rendong, you attempted to force yourself on Concubine Shu and still dare to say you don't know your crime?" Yuan Yuchuan looked at Mu Rendong below, who didn't seem to care at all. He really wanted to go up and kick him twice. How dare he show his arrogance in front of him!
"Your Majesty, it was this stupid bitch who seduced me," Mu Rendong glanced at Concubine Shu and started talking nonsense. He thought everyone in the hall would believe his words.
After all, compared with a woman's words, a man's words were more credible. This woman was doomed. If she knelt down and begged him later, he might spare her life.
However, everyone around twitched their mouths after hearing Mu Rendong's words and silently complained in their hearts. Where did this guy get his face? Looking like that, he could still say such confident words. He was really shameless.
Concubine Shu, who was of noble status, didn't need to please the emperor. Why would she seduce a guy who looked like a pig's head? Even a blind person wouldn't choose you.
Mu Xingrou almost fainted after hearing Mu Rendong's words. Did Mu Rendong have no brains? How could he say such things? Concubine Shu seduce him? Was Concubine Shu blind? Even if she wanted to have an affair, she would choose a good-looking one, right?
Yuan Yuchuan directly smashed the cup on the table on Mu Rendong's head and was so angry that he almost couldn't catch his breath.
Just as Yuan Yuchuan was about to convict Mu Rendong, Mu Rendong spoke again, and this time he almost killed him.
"Moreover, Your Majesty, my sister is your woman. I'm also your brother-in-law. You have so many women in your harem. What's wrong with giving me one?" Mu Rendong didn't know how shocking his words were. Anyway, all the ministers around knelt down.
They were sure that Mu Rendong was a fool. He dared to say anything, and even said it in front of the emperor. Now they looked at Mu Rendong as if he were a dead man.
Mu Fengqie was stunned by Mu Rendong's words. She suddenly sat up from Jing Xinche's shoulder, stared at Mu Rendong with wide eyes. This guy's mind was really abnormal.
She'd better stay away from him in the future. What if this kind of stupidity was contagious? She didn't want to become like this.
Jing Xinche frowned at Mu Fengqie's startled look, reached out his hand, and pressed Mu Fengqie back into his arms. How could she stop leaning after leaning for a while?
Then he calmly hugged Mu Fengqie and continued to watch the show.
After hearing Mu Rendong's words, Mu Xingrou was so scared that she slumped to the ground. Her face was pale. "Your Majesty... Please spare my life, Your Majesty. I've never said such things."
But Yuan Yuchuan ignored her and looked at Mu Rendong with a smile, but his eyes were cold.
"Mu Rendong, who taught you these words?" When saying this, Yuan Yuchuan glanced at Mu Xingrou subtly. But with Mu Xingrou's courage, she probably wouldn't say such things. So there must be someone behind him teaching him.
He wanted to see who was so bold as to set their sights on his harem. They were really something!
"Your Majesty, no one taught me these. In the place where I used to live, such things were common," he said. He had also slept with the landlord Niu Tiesheng's woman. So it wasn't a big deal to sleep with one of the emperor's women.
"Really? Then who sent you to Concubine Shu's palace?" Yuan Yuchuan's teeth were almost gritted off, but he still looked calm on the surface.
