Chapter 141: Early Birthday Wishes
"Grandfather, this is just the beginning. This Body Tempering Pill can only be regarded as one of the best birthday gifts you have received so far."
Seeing her grandfather, Old Master Kuang, so happy, and her grandmother, Old Madam Kuang, smiling from ear to ear, Mu Qingyin's mood also improved. She smiled and said, "Don't you believe that I can refine more and better pills in the future?"
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. This should be the best birthday gift I have ever received."
Old Master Kuang stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly, and continued to laugh with extreme satisfaction, then changed the topic and said, "Of course I believe that you can refine better pills in the future.
Hahaha, this Body Tempering Pill really arrived just in time. With it, we can improve the strength of our people. If we send people to the Endless Forest, it will definitely reduce a lot of casualties."
"Boundless Forest?" Mu Qingyin blinked. "Yes."
The medicinal herbs that Mu Qingyin needed were in the Wuya Forest, so it was necessary to tell her that the family wanted to develop there. So Old Master Kuang did not hide anything and readily told her all the rumors about the Wuya Forest.
Mu Qingyin listened attentively. When she heard that the Endless Forest not only had countless mountains and forests, but was also next to the sea, she became even more yearning and couldn't help but look at Old Master Kuang with hope.
Old Master Kuang smiled and said, "It's okay if you want to go. After all, that place is also an excellent place for training. In the future, all the children of the family will go there for training. But not now. You must go after our people have settled down there. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous."
That will take quite some time—Mu Qingyin couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment on her face.
"You, why are you in such a hurry?" Madam Kuang smiled lovingly at Mu Qingyin and said, "Don't worry, I won't keep you all the time. Young eagles always need to fly on their own to truly grow up, and the same goes for you children.
We won't let you stay under our wings forever and grow old. But before that, you have to wait until your own feathers grow fully and can protect yourself, right?"
"Got it. Grandpa and grandma, I'm not in a hurry. I will speed up my training. So I'm afraid I won't be able to come and congratulate you in person on your birthday in two days. Today, I wish you good fortune and a long life."
After saying this, Mu Qingyin immediately knelt down respectfully and kowtowed three times to Old Master Kuang.
Knowing the real reason why Mu Qingyin wanted to pay her respects in advance, they personally helped her up. Both Old Master Kuang and Old Madam Kuang sighed, "We have wronged you."
"No, I don't feel wronged. My grandparents make the decision for me and my mother, so I really don't feel wronged at all." Mu Qingyin's words came from the bottom of her heart. So it sounded particularly sincere, which made Old Lady Kuang sigh.
She took Mu Qingyin's hand again and patted it gently: "Good child, it's just that your mother is not cruel enough after all. But don't blame her. She..."
"Don't worry, grandma. I have never thought of blaming mother. After all, the pain in her heart is no less than mine, no more than mine.
Especially since the person who really made the mistake was not Aunt Weng, but Aunt Weng was also implicated. Forcing Aunt Weng to no longer stay with my mother is already the greatest punishment for her. "
Mu Qingyin obediently comforted Madam Kuang and shook her head gently, "Grandma, mother didn't let the person who really made the mistake go because of Madam Weng. This is enough for me."

Chapter 142: Watching from the Sidelines
"You are really as kind-hearted as your mother."
Seeing that Mu Qingyin really had no grudges, Old Madam Kuang finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and smiled at her and sighed: "It's not that there is no benefit in being kind, but you can't be kind blindly. There should still be a sense of propriety here."
"Yes." Mu Qingyin nodded and smiled at Madam Kuang, "Don't worry, Grandma. I will be kind when I should be kind, but I will not always be kind to evil people. Isn't it the same for mother? The fact that she didn't let Chen Lianniang go is proof of that."
"Yes, at least she is not too confused and can't tell the real inside and outside." Old Madam Kuang finally felt relieved and laughed.
After Mu Qingyin left, Madam Kuang said to Grandpa Kuang, "It would be great if Qingyin could have the last name Kuang. Although our family treats grandsons and granddaughters equally, there is still a difference in the eyes of outsiders.
In fact, even among our own people, it may not be the same.
This child is so adorable, I really wish I could give her the surname Kuang so that she can be included in our Kuang family tree. Then she will truly be a member of our Kuang family."
"You think I don't want to?"
Old Master Kuang first put the precious body-hardening pills on the table into his Qiankun bag, then stroked his beard and sighed, "I dream about it, but it's too difficult.
The Mu family has to save face no matter how much they make mistakes. It is not easy for our family to take the two children out completely and take the initiative in their marriage without being controlled by the Mu family.
He shook his head and sighed, "After investigating this matter, I thought Mu Heng was involved. Even if he wasn't, he was at least an insider. But who knew he was so confused and was completely kept in the dark.
His concubine Song. Oh, she was really patient and cruel. On the one hand, she borrowed the power of their old lady, and on the other hand, she dared to poison her secretly in order to prevent the matter from being exposed.
If it weren't for the fact that our Yanniang's family had some wealth when she was young, and the children had all taken detoxification pills since they were young, the poison in this secular world would not have any effect on them, and it's hard to say whether she would have been able to escape the poison."
"Humph, this is what they call "evil will be punished by evil."
Madam Kuang had no sympathy for the old lady of the Mu Mansion who was poisoned to death by her son's concubine. Upon hearing this, she sneered, "She pretended to be hypocritical on the surface, but secretly indulged her son to favor his concubine over his wife, and then deliberately disgusted our Kuang family. In the end, she deserved to be attacked by that vicious woman."
After laughing a few times in gloating, Old Madam Kuang asked Old Master Kuang, "Do you think we should tell our good son-in-law about this?"
When she mentioned the word "good son-in-law", Mrs. Kuang's expression twisted and she pronounced the word with unusual emphasis.
"What can I say? What's there to say? That's the person he loves the most. Why should we be the bad guy for no reason? Is there any benefit for us to do so?"
Staring, Old Master Kuang snorted, "It seems that the family of Concubine Song is quite ambitious. They have two daughters, and the younger one is obviously better looking and more outstanding. But they only use the older one to win over our cheap grandson. Do you think they have a bigger agenda by keeping the younger one?"
He stroked his beard and sneered, "You said that evil people will be punished by their own evil. Since that concubine Song and the Song family have such great ambitions, why don't we help them? Haha, it will save us from having to do it ourselves and dirty our hands."
"That's a good idea. Let them fight among themselves, and we'll just sit back and watch."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 143: Let Them Go
Madam Kuang quickly figured it out, and immediately nodded and smiled, "It may be useful to keep her. If Mu Heng doesn't want the conditions we proposed, we can take advantage of Concubine Song and start with her.
Just because we didn't kill her, she should be very grateful and secretly helped us, so that Mu Heng had to let the two children return to our Kuang family despite his unwillingness."
With more confidence, Madam Kuang finally felt much more at ease.
"Still grateful? It would be strange if she doesn't hate us to death." Old Master Kuang couldn't help but laugh.
"Who cares? I wish I could piss her off to death."
Madam Kuang certainly knew that if she used this handle to find Aunt Song, she would not only not be grateful to her but would also hate her with a vengeance.
But who cares?
When she thought of the awkward feeling that Aunt Song hated her to death but had to grit her teeth to speak up for her, she felt as refreshed as drinking ice water in the dog days of summer.
Old Master Kuang obviously had the same idea as her. He stroked his beard, and the smile on his face did not last long before it turned into a deep coldness: "However, I am afraid that her ability to persuade Mu Heng is still far from enough.
If we really want to persuade him, Mu Jinghe should do it to get the best result. I didn't expect him to be so filial. Just because of a woman, he threw away all the kindness that our Kuang family had shown him over the years and the kindness of Yanniang's upbringing.
When he still didn't know the truth, he actually acted filially to his biological mother. Just like his father, he wanted to step on our Kuang family to get close to King Yin so that he could win the title of Dragon's follower."
Thinking of the results of his private investigation into the Mu family, Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe, the stern look in Old Master Kuang's eyes became even more intense. The last bit of affection he had for Mu Jinghe disappeared without a trace.
He sneered: "Is it so easy to fight for the merit of following the dragon? Since he has such a lofty ambition, I might as well lend a helping hand to him and his son and send them straight to the road to success.
But the higher you climb, the harder you fall. When they fall from the sky, I just hope they won't regret it."
"It can be done, but it's a little difficult. Everyone in the family doesn't know the inside story. Seeing us lift it up so high but then just let it go so gently, letting the culprit Song Yiang go, I'm afraid they will feel suffocated and can't accept it."
Madam Kuang frowned again as she spoke: "It would be good if this matter could be laid out in full, so that everyone would have peace of mind and know that we are not afraid of King Yin, and we are not afraid at all that he will cause a big upheaval.
But, isn't it hard to say a lot of things that are of great importance? Moreover, this matter may be fine for others, but if Qingyin and Jingyan knew about it, the Mu family would be convicted of treason and executed for following Prince Yin.
No matter how bad Mu Heng is, he is their biological father after all. I am afraid that when things really come to that point, they will still not be able to accept it in their hearts. "
"This is easy to handle. Tell the people who can tell, and keep the people who can't tell a secret. Do the same with Qingyin and Jingyan. Although they are sisters, they have had different experiences since childhood.
Qingyin has been disliked by Muheng since she was a child, and there is no father-daughter relationship between them. Haven't you seen that she has been back for such a long time, and she has never even mentioned him on weekdays? So we have to make things clear to Qingyin, and we can't let her think that we let go of her great hatred for a little benefit. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 144 Wang Chun's End
After thinking for a while, Old Master Kuang nodded: "As for Jingyan, although Mu Heng didn't dote on her much since she was a child, he treated her well.
Even though the two families have broken up now, she would definitely feel reluctant to accept that Mu Heng would be beheaded for treason in the future.
So there is no need to make some things clear to her. Anyway, in order not to implicate the two sisters, I will always pull Mu Heng out of the great sin of exterminating the nine clans."
While saying this, Old Master Kuang's face showed an increasingly fierce expression: "It would be a good thing for them to just die like that and put an end to it all.
By then, I will make them stuck in the quagmire, unable to struggle out, while watching our Kuang family getting better and better. Let them live in regret for the rest of their lives, resenting and arguing with each other endlessly, that will be the real punishment for them."
"You are very thoughtful. Even Concubine Song can be kept by them. It will be very pleasing for them to have their family, concubines, father and son, mother and son, etc. live like Li Saozi's husband and concubine now."
When Old Madam Kuang thought about the infighting among the Mu family, she would tell Mrs. Li what she had told her, just like the various fights between her heartless husband who was now paralyzed in bed and unable to get up, and the mistress-turned-concubine, and she would immediately feel refreshed.
"What's going on?" Old Master Kuang was also perked up after hearing this, and immediately asked with interest and curiosity.
"It was Qingyin. She knew that Li's husband, Wang Chun, had taken his mistress back, so she gave him the medicine. Not only did Wang Chun not get up, but he had to lie paralyzed in bed and need someone to serve him.
Even the concubine did not have a good ending. Her body and face were now covered with sores, which were oozing pus from time to time. She looked like a ghost, not to mention that she always emitted a foul odor.
Mrs. Li said that her appearance made people feel so sick that they couldn't eat when they saw her from a distance, let alone get close to her.
The smell on her body was so strong that even the most delicious food would make him lose his appetite. But now Wang Chun had to endure it and eat and live with her from morning till night.
Madam Kuang laughed even more happily as she spoke: "Then Wang Chun finally got what he wanted and got to keep his mistress. Those two are a perfect match, right? It's so good now, they don't have to look down on each other anymore. Sister Li doesn't have to worry about them anymore.
She now puts the money in the house cook's house every month, and specifically tells her not to pay attention to what those two say. Just don't let them starve to death. She herself still goes back to visit once a month as usual.
The concubine was now penniless, and even her jewelry was gone. Mrs. Li said that if she was willing to stay and serve her husband well, she would let her have no worries about food and clothing, and she could even eat meat every ten days or half a month.
If she wanted to run away, let her run. Anyway, she ran away. With her current appearance, she would not have a good life anywhere. Mrs. Li was happy that she ran away and saved some food money for herself.
Anyway, even if she ran away, it wouldn't take much effort for Mrs. Li's husband to take care of her. He could just buy a servant or spend some more money to hire a neighbor to come over every day to feed her and clean up her excrement and urine.
Just help him wash and change clothes every one or two days. As long as you pay a little money, you don't have to watch him all the time. I think there are many people willing to do it."
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 145 Satisfaction
"That's good."
Old Master Kuang was obviously very satisfied with Wang Chun's fate. He couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed: "Qingyin's medicine is still the best. Have you told Sister Li not to tell anyone about the medicine Qingyin gave her?"
"Do I need to tell you that?"
Madam Kuang glanced at Old Master Kuang and said with a smile, "Sister Li told me about this privately and didn't tell anyone else. She even kept it a secret from her son.
At the beginning, Sister Li had planned carefully for Wang Chun. She had our guards hide in the dark and made him fall hard in front of many people before giving him the drug.
As for the concubine, she started to have sores all over her body after taking care of Wang Chun for a few days and secretly eating Wang Chun's supplements. Later, Li's wife revealed that Wang Chun had a mistress and sold his own son.
She was very careful and did it perfectly. Not only did she make it impossible for the two to get up, but she also took the opportunity to sever ties with Wang Chun's relatives.
Because she didn't ignore Wang Chun, and still paid someone to look after the two. In the end, she even gained a good reputation among the neighbors as a virtuous person who didn't let bygones be bygones. Who among those who know about this now doesn't say that the two got their retribution?"
"Not bad, I am worthy of having stayed by your side for many years. You are not confused and have some ideas." Old Master Kuang praised generously.
"Isn't it? I'm not praising her, she is really a loyal and protective person. She is not a coward, she is law-abiding and knows what she can and cannot do. She is useful. It's a pity that she is unlucky and met such a person."
Thinking of all the good things about Li Saozi, Old Madam Kuang also sighed: "But now that those two have been dealt with, she can finally get through it if she waits a few more years.
I specifically asked about it. With her son's talent for studying and our family's support, it would be a sure thing for her to earn a title and become a noble. "
"Since she is a good person, you can remind me when her son passes the exam. As long as he has good character and real talent, it won't be difficult for our family to help him out from behind."
Old Master Kuang nodded, then suddenly remembered and asked curiously, "By the way, didn't you say last time that the concubine was already pregnant before she even got married? How is the child now?"
"What child? It's just a fetus that hasn't been born yet." Old Madam Kuang said with a smile, "You want to know whether Sister Li has done anything to the fetus?"
Old Master Kuang did not answer, but just smiled and stroked his beard.
"The fetus is still fine. Qingyin specifically told Sister Li that the medicine given to the mistress would not affect the fetus in her belly."
Madam Kuang smiled and said, "It's just a concubine's son or daughter. Sister Li said that if she wants to give birth to the child, she can give birth to it. After the child is born, she will just spend some money every month to send it to someone else's house to be raised.
If the illegitimate son is older, he should be sent to be an apprentice, no matter what craft he learns, and it would be a great honor for him if he can support his family in the future;
If she is a concubine's daughter, it will be even easier. Just see if there is a family that wants a child bride, collect some betrothal money and send it to the family, and it will be much easier to ask her future husband's family to raise her.
Anyway, Li's wife didn't covet her money, so she kept the betrothal money for her. She would return it to her when she grew up and consummated her marriage with her husband.
Anyway, Sister Li has made up her mind not to let the child come into contact with his biological parents. After all, Sister Li is not at home on weekdays. If she leaves the child at home, she is afraid that the child will learn bad habits from the two of them. "
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 146 Fists hitting cotton
"That's not a bad idea. With biological parents like that, it's not easy for a child to be influenced by them and walk on the right path. So it's better to separate them."
The family had a Jindan-stage immortal ancestor, so Old Master Kuang attached great importance to karma. That's why he asked this question.
Hearing that the mistress of Li's family did not have a miscarriage due to the medicine given by Mu Qingyin, he felt relieved and was not interested in knowing more. The couple quickly changed the subject.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the day of Old Master Kuang's birthday, Mu Qingyin was in seclusion and could not come out of her cultivation.
Because everyone knew why Mu Qingyin avoided such days. So after the guests left that day, the Kuang family lost Mu Qingyin and gained two outsiders, Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe.
In the minds of the Kuang family, this was no longer a true "family dinner". Almost every member of the Kuang family seemed to be in low spirits and not as casual as usual.
The abnormal behavior of the Kuang family was noticed by Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe, who felt they were being ignored all day. They were immediately indignant at the Kuang family for their increasing contempt for them and their sons.
His eyes turned cold, and Mu Heng was extremely angry. He refused to give any face to the Kuang family and Kuang Guya, and refused to hold back the anger in his heart any longer.
So he said to Kuang Guya in a rather rude and cold voice across the table, regardless of everyone being there: "Madam, you and Jingyan have been staying at your father-in-law and mother-in-law's house for too long these days.
You have been refusing to go back for so long. Not to mention the nonsense that people outside have been saying in private, the mansion is in a mess without the mistress of the house. Now that your father-in-law's birthday banquet is over, you should all go back with me tomorrow morning."
"good."
To Mu Heng's surprise, Kuang Guya agreed to his impolite words without any hesitation and without any annoyance at all.
He was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Kuang Guya's expression.
However, Kuang Guya's expression was indifferent, as if nothing was different from usual.
He frowned and felt that something was wrong. But when he glanced over, he saw that the other people in the Kuang family didn't even raise their eyes. It seemed that no one noticed the blunt and blunt tone he had just used to talk to Kuang Guya.
He suddenly felt annoyed, as if he was punching cotton, and was confused. Was he really overthinking?
With this anger and doubt until the "family dinner" was over, Mu Heng followed Kuang Guya to her courtyard in Kuang's mansion. Along the way, seeing that Kuang Guya ignored him and stepped into the courtyard first, Mu Heng didn't care.
Until he was stopped outside the courtyard gate by Kuang Guya's maid.
"Master, the young lady said that she has to pack up with others tonight, and she can go back to the mansion with you tomorrow. So you have to stay in the courtyard of the young master tonight."
When Mu Heng heard the maidservant beside Kuang Guya say this in a very polite tone that did not allow him to refuse at all, he immediately knew that Kuang Guya was still angry.
Before, I just kept it secret because everyone was there and I couldn't save face.
Haha, she, Kuang Gu Ya, is just a beautiful but dull beauty. She still thinks I really want to enter her yard?
Mu Heng chuckled twice in his heart with both pride and disdain, then turned around and walked away without saying a word with a mocking look on his face.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 147 Grasshoppers in Autumn
When Mu Heng left, his arrogant behavior quickly reached Kuang Guya's ears. Kuang Guya had long been accustomed to his behavior, and upon hearing it, she just sneered twice and ignored him.
But when Mu Heng brought his men to Taqiu Residence where Mu Jinghe lived, the news could no longer be concealed and spread throughout the entire Kuang Mansion.
Not to mention how angry others were when they heard the news, the news reached the ears of Old Master Kuang and Old Madam Kuang, but Old Master Kuang was not as good-tempered as Kuang Guya.
Hearing this, he put the teacup heavily on the table and said angrily: "Is this taking advantage of me? I didn't bother with him during the family dinner, so what? He still thinks he's incomparable. Is our Yaniang really afraid of him?"
"Why are you so angry? It's just a grasshopper in autumn. What's wrong with you asking it to jump a few more times now?"
She looked at the teacup with a distressed look, and saw that Old Master Kuang's men were still sensible, and the teacup was not damaged at all. Only then did Old Madam Kuang's expression look better.
Subconsciously, he also took a look at the teacup that he had put in with some effort, and saw that the whole body of the white jade cup, which was warm and moist, and the entire cup body was like a lifelike, blooming white lotus, was intact. Old Master Kuang suddenly remembered that the tea set that matched the white jade cup was the dowry of Old Lady Kuang, and it was her favorite set of tea sets.
And he had just attacked so carelessly, if he had accidentally destroyed the teacup. Old Master Kuang secretly broke out in a cold sweat, said he was lucky, and then hurriedly smiled and said: "Yes, let him jump around tonight, and we will settle the account with him tomorrow."
Grinding his teeth secretly, Old Master Kuang blamed Mu Heng for his false alarm. Just as he was thinking about how to get back the accounts tomorrow, he heard Old Madam Kuang hesitantly ask, "Should we notify Qingyin and Jingyan tomorrow?"
"No need. Having the two children around for this kind of thing will always make them feel uncomfortable." Old Master Kuang shook his head. "They already knew about this. We just need to tell them the result later."
"I think so too. Knowing that my parents will separate is one thing, and seeing them separate with your own eyes is another." Madam Kuang felt upset as she thought about it. "Let's take a break. We can talk about tomorrow's affairs tomorrow. It's annoying to think too much now."
The next morning, Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe had a quick breakfast at Taqiuju. When Mu Heng was impatiently about to send someone to urge Kuang Guya to return home, a servant who served Old Master Kuang came over and said, "Old Master, please ask your son-in-law and your cousin to go to Zhengde Hall."
Zhengde Hall was a place that the Kuang family used to entertain guests. So Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe thought that someone was visiting, and that Old Master Kuang asked them to go meet the guest.
Mu Heng asked casually, "Who comes here so early in the morning?"
"No one came." The servant who served Old Master Kuang answered casually.
"No one comes to the door? Why do you ask us to go to Zhengde Hall if no one comes to the door?" Mu Heng asked curiously.
"I don't know either. You will know when you go there." The servant replied in a serious tone.
"Let's go." Although he felt it was a little strange, Mu Heng didn't take it too seriously. He knew that the servants of the Kuang family were very tight-lipped and he wouldn't get anything out of them if he asked any more, so he didn't bother anymore and took Mu Jinghe and the servant to Zhengde Hall.
Zhengde Hall.
When he stepped into the room, he saw that not only Old Master Kuang was there, but also Old Madam Kuang, Kuang Guya and her three brothers were all there. Not to mention Mu Heng, even Mu Jinghe was surprised and felt that something was wrong.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 148 This is not true
Holding back the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, Mu Jinghe took the lead to step forward and bowed to Old Master Kuang and others, saying: "Grandfather, grandmother, eldest uncle, second uncle, third uncle, mother, how are you."
Old Master Kuang and others did not comment, but just nodded lightly.
Seeing them being so cold and indifferent as never before, Mu Jinghe felt even more uneasy.
He wanted to say a few more words to make the atmosphere more normal, but it was obviously a waste of effort. He said what he wanted to say, but Old Master Kuang and the others acted as if they didn't want to pay any more attention.
In the end, Mu Jinghe felt it was too boring and could only helplessly glance at Mu Heng secretly and retreat.
"father in law---"
Mu Heng frowned and bowed to greet Old Master Kuang. But before he could say anything else, Old Master Kuang suddenly interrupted him with a heavy "humph" and said in a bad tone: "I dare not call you father-in-law. I called you here today to discuss your separation from Yaniang."
"Union?"
Mu Heng and Mu Jinghe were both stunned. Mu Heng frowned even more deeply: "When did I say I wanted to separate from Yaniang?"
"Grandfather, my parents must not divorce no matter what. If this gets out, won't it bring shame to both the Mu and Kuang families?"
Mu Jinghe finally reacted and no longer cared about his manners. He shouted at Old Master Kuang in horror.
The first thing he thought of was: if his parents divorced, and his father married a step-wife and gave birth to another legitimate son, wouldn't his status as the eldest legitimate son be embarrassing?
No, I must not let something so disadvantageous to myself happen.
Gritting his teeth, Mu Jinghe tried not to show his resentment too obviously, and disguised his resentment as hurt when he went to see Old Master Kuang and Kuang Guya. However, he never thought that he should first ask why Old Master Kuang mentioned that Mu Heng and Kuang Guya should get divorced? Mu Jinghe's reaction made the faces of the Kuang family members show a mocking look.
Especially Kuang Guya, when she thought about how she had been valuing such a selfish thing all these years, she felt that it was not worth it for herself.
Pulling the corner of her mouth, Kuang Guya looked at Mu Jinghe and said, "Besides the issue of face, don't you want to know why I want to separate from your father?"
Yes, why did my grandfather suddenly and inexplicably mention asking my parents to divorce? After being reminded, Mu Jinghe finally thought of this question, and finally asked in confusion: "Mom, why is this?"
"Why? Haha, why else? Because your biological mother, Concubine Song, was ambitious and audacious. With the consent and help of your grandmother, she exchanged a concubine for a legitimate wife."
Kuang Guya sneered and said, "So from now on I can no longer be worthy of your calling me mother, so I have no choice but to divorce your father."
"You are simply talking nonsense. How is this possible?"
Kuang Guya's words shocked Mu Jinghe so much that he couldn't react at all. Mu Heng jumped up in anger and shouted, "Kuang Guya, I didn't expect you to be such a person. You could even make up such a lie?"
"lie?"
Old Master Kuang snorted coldly, picked up a stack of papers on the table and threw them at Mu Heng: "Take a look at it yourself first, and then tell us whether what our Yaniang said is a lie or not."
"No, that's not true. None of this is true."
Mu Heng was a little confused by Old Master Kuang's actions. This time, it was Mu Jinghe who reacted first. He reached out and grabbed a few papers falling from Mu Heng and quickly started reading them.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 149 Eating Paper
After reading those papers, Mu Jinghe's face changed drastically, becoming extremely pale. He quickly squatted down and continued to pick up the other papers on the ground and read them one by one, shaking his head in disbelief as he read them.
Seeing this, Mu Heng didn't care about Old Master Kuang's actions, and hurriedly squatted down to pick up the papers on the ground to check.
The more he looked, the gloomier his expression became.
"Dad, Mom, these are not true, they can't be true, right?" He was not the legitimate son of Kuang Guya, but the illegitimate son of Song Yi Niang, the lowly concubine. This, this must be wrong, this is absolutely impossible...
Mu Jinghe's eyes were bloodshot, and he raised his head in embarrassment to look at Mu Heng, who was sitting on the ground in a daze and seemed unable to react, and Kuang Guya, who was looking down at him with a sneer on his face.
Mu Jinghe suddenly lowered his head and began to tear the papers in his hands and on the ground fiercely. While tearing them, he stuffed them into his mouth frantically and recklessly.
It seems that as long as these papers no longer exist, Mu Jinghe feels that he is still the legitimate son and grandson of the Kuang family.
At this moment, he had never felt so important to him as at this moment.
"hehe......"
Mu Jinghe's behavior was beyond everyone's expectations. After a moment of surprise, the Kuang family couldn't help laughing, watching Mu Heng's performance of eating paper with mockery on their faces.
After he had eaten most of it, Old Master Kuang reached into his sleeve pocket, took out another stack, slapped it on the table and said with a smile, "Is that enough? If not, I have more."
"..."Mu Jinghe looked up with a dazed look on his face, his eyes fell on the stack of papers on the table next to Old Master Kuang, his face changing from red to white.
"What a disgrace." Mu Heng felt more embarrassed than ever before. He stood up and kicked Mu Jinghe hard.
"How do I know that these confessions are true and not made up by you?" After kicking Mu Jinghe, Mu Heng finally came back to his senses and said coldly to Old Master Kuang.
"Why would we need to make up something like this to coax you?"
Glancing at Mu Heng with disdain, Old Master Kuang sneered, "If you don't believe me, you can ask me in person. Since I have the confession, the witnesses are naturally here too."
As he spoke, Old Master Kuang raised his hands and clapped his hands. Soon a group of people appeared in front of everyone.
Mu Hengtian looked over and immediately discovered that except for one or two unfamiliar people, the rest were mostly elderly people in the family, including those from his biological mother's side and those from Aunt Song's side.
"All those who were not silenced back then are here. If you want to know something, just ask yourself. Don't really think that our Kuang family would fool you with such a big thing."
Old Master Kuang sneered and said, "Do you think that finding out such a thing will make our Kuang family happy? Don't you know how my poor granddaughter Qingyin has been treated by that Concubine Song over the years?"
"That's right. I originally thought that there were exceptions to the saying 'even a tiger won't eat its own cubs'. There really are mothers in this world who would eat their own children. Who would have thought that it was not the case at all.
There are people in this world who are so cruel. She allowed her own son to be replaced by a legitimate son, and at the same time, she treated other people's children as if they were human beings and tortured them intentionally. "
Madam Kuang stood up and pointed at Mu Heng, cursing, "And your mother. If she were still alive, I would like to ask her in person whether it is the custom of your Yuejiang Marquisate to replace the legitimate heir with a concubine."
Is this a question of whether he is also a bastard?
If this word gets out and makes the emperor suspicious, how can I continue to be the Marquis of Yuejiang? Even if I marry a step-wife and have a legitimate son in the future, can I still petition for the position of the next crown prince?

Chapter 150 Deep Affection
The people of the Kuang family are despicable. They are clearly trying to vent their anger on him and cut off the inheritance of the Yuejiang Marquis Mansion.
Mu Heng was extremely angry. However, facing the old lady Kuang who was even angrier and more unreasonable than him, he was still rational. He knew that it would not be good for him or the Mu family to anger the old lady Kuang and other people in the Kuang family at this time.
In this matter, it would be best for me if the Kuang family were willing to forget about it and not divorce me, and I continued to be the son-in-law of the Kuang family.
After thinking it through in an instant, Mu Heng endured and didn't ask the witnesses who were brought in. Since those people had signed their confessions and were brought in front of him, it would be unnecessary for him to ask any more questions.
Besides, he also knew that if this was not true, the Kuang family had no reason to disown their grandson.
Aunt Song, that bitch...
Mu Heng was filled with hatred. He ignored Madam Kuang and turned to Old Master Kuang and assured him solemnly, "Father-in-law, don't listen to those people's nonsense. My mother must be unaware of this matter. It must be that bitch who covered up everything.
Now that things have come to this, I only ask you to expose this scandal for the sake of our long-term relationship. I will definitely treat her well in the future. I will dismiss those concubines when I return, and I will definitely treat Yanniang well from now on. I also ask my father-in-law and mother-in-law to give me a chance to correct my mistakes."
"It's too late."
Looking at Mu Heng who seemed respectful in front of him, Old Master Kuang couldn't help but sneer: "You should have said this even a month earlier, before we found out the truth.
We in the Kuang family can still barely believe that you have the heart to change and will treat Yaniang sincerely in the future. But now, are you thinking that all of us in the Kuang family are stupid and have no brains?"
"That's right, you are afraid now. You are afraid that if everyone knows it, you will be embarrassed. You are afraid that if the emperor knows it, he will take back the title of Yuejiang Marquis. What were you doing before?" Kuang Zhihong, the third master of the Kuang family, who had long disliked Mu Heng, jumped out and said.
"Are you in the Mu Mansion trying to treat everyone in our Kuang family as if they were three-year-old children?"
The second master of the Kuang family, Kuang Zhifeng, also looked at Mu Heng and sneered: "Whether you are willing or not, you have to sign the divorce agreement today. Otherwise, we don't mind going to the Golden Palace to ask the emperor for justice."
"That's right. If you don't want to separate peacefully, then we'll meet in the Golden Palace." Kuang Zhihai, the head of the Kuang family, looked at Mu Heng and said in a firm tone.
"My wife..."
Mu Heng almost bit his teeth when he saw that Old Master Kuang, Old Madam Kuang and the three Kuang brothers all had the same extremely tough attitude and showed no sign of wanting to reconcile.
With humiliation and the last glimmer of hope, Mu Heng forced himself to look at Kuang Guya affectionately and tried to reverse the disadvantage from her.
However, it has been too many years since he had a good face to Kuang Guya. At this moment, Mu Heng's self-proclaimed "affection" not only made people look awkward but also looked particularly weird.
But Mu Heng himself could not see this. He said to Kuang Guya with what he thought was deep affection: "My wife, everything before was your fault. In the past, I was also sincere to you, but it was all because of that bitch Song.
If that bitch hadn't sowed discord between us and done something as vicious as swapping our children, how could we, our husband and wife, have come to this point today? You know, you've always known that I was just being nice to her for show. The person I really care about in my heart has always been you."
