ling with twinkling eyes."Tap..."A large ink blot appeared on the official document, and the brush in Rui Tianling's hand also broke. Rui Tianling lowered his head, lost in thought.The room was unnatu...The study in the Fifth Prince's Mansion was usually serene and peaceful, but this night, it was destined to be anything but.

"Slap!" The slap carried heavy anger and landed heavily on Murong Rou's face...

"Father…" Murong Rou knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face...

Her left cheek bore the full force of the prime minister's slap, and now a faint swelling marked where his five fingers had pressed.

"Don't call me father, I have no unfilial daughter like you! You said you've done something even more disgraceful! You said!" Seeing that Murong Rou was only covering her left face and weeping weakly on the ground, the Prime Minister pretended to raise his right hand, "Speak quickly! Or else, I'll kill you!"

"Lord! Rourou is young and doesn't understand!" Murong Rourou's biological mother grasped the Prime Minister's right hand repeatedly, shielding Murong Rourou in front of her.

"Young Young and you would have the people of Wuyu Manor drowned To be so cruel at such a young age, what will happen in the future! This old man will kill her today, as if she never existed! Move aside for me!" Grand Minister Murong was enraged, his face flushed red, as he shoved away Murong Rou's biological mother.

Murong Rou's biological mother pretended to collapse on the ground, tears streaming down her beautiful face. She sat on the ground, holding Murong Rou and cried out in despair: "Rou'er ah, Mother is sorry for you ah, Mother is useless, Mother didn't teach you well..." Murong Rou's biological mother pinched Murong Rou's waist and gave her a look.

Seeing this, Murong Rou stopped crying softly and instead cried out loudly: "Mother... it's not your fault! It's my incompetence... I have disgraced you and the Murong Prime Minister's Mansion..." Murong Rou crawled to her father's feet and cried so pitifully, tears streaming down her face like a willow in the rain. "Father, Rou'er knows she was wrong, Father..." She kowtowed heavily, "Father, please forgive me, Father... Rou'er will never do it again..."Murong Rou tugged at Murong Prime Minister's robe and repeatedly kowtowed...

Seeing his mother and daughter crying so pitifully, Grand Tutor Murong's heart stirred with some emotion. His anger lessened a little, he stood there with a grim face, not saying a word.

Seeing her father's moved expression and Murong Rou's feigning weakness, Murong Yue feared that the prime minister would let Murong Rou off. She immediately stepped forward, patting the prime minister's back as if to help him with his breath: "Father, don't be angry with your third sister. She is young and ignorant, and she wrongly accused that girl of attempting an assassination at our prime minister's residence. Later, she accidentally threw her into the river. Even if the Fifth Prince knew about it, it would only be a misunderstanding, Father, please don't worry..."

She smirked at Murong Rou in a place where the Prime Minister couldn't see, "Heh, try to compete with me You don't even know who you are, do you Do you have the qualifications!"

Murong Rou glared resentfully at Murong Yue. If it weren't for Murong Yue exposing the matter, she wouldn't have been reprimanded by Lord Regent Murong today. Now that Lord Regent Murong had finally calmed down a bit, she actually brought up the Fifth Prince again. How truly insidious!

The Duke of Murong's mansion was immediately enraged by Murong Yue's words: "A misunderstanding Do you think the Fifth Prince would believe it"

Murong Yue put on an innocent and naive act: "How can you not believe it After all, that young lady didn't reveal her identity. We don't know anything about her…"

Speaking of this, Minister Murong was even more furious and kicked Murong Rou with his foot: "You rebellious child! Do you know that the dark guards of Prince Wu's Mansion protect people who Prince Wu cares about Since the dark guards have revealed their identities, why do you still make things difficult for that young lady! Is a quarrel between women enough to take a life! This old man will kill you!" The minister picked up a teacup and threw it at Murong Rou.

Mu Rongrou dared not dodge, she could only obediently accept this cup of scalding tea. Her hand quickly turned red and swollen from the burn: "Father, Rou'er is wrong, Rou'er won't do it again..."

“Master, you want to ruin Rou’er Master! Rou’er has reached marriageable age. A woman values her appearance the most. How can you scald Rou’er with tea Rou’er, let mother have a look, mother have a look…” Mrs. Murong San held onto Murong Rou's hand, their bond as mother and daughter was truly deep.

"Rou'er is fine, Mother. Rou'er did something wrong and should be punished. It's nothing, Mother, just a burn..."

"Silly child, you are the young lady of the Prime Minister's residence. What if you can't marry because of the scars My good Rou'er... Master... how could you be so cruel This is your own flesh and blood daughter..."

"Mother... the child doesn't blame father, it is the child's fault, it is the child's fault..."

"My poor child..."

Murong Rou and Murong's third wife hugged each other, crying uncontrollably...

"A loving mother often spoils her children. If you had disciplined her more, she wouldn't have gotten herself into such a terrible mess today! Do you know the Fifth Prince's character The Fifth Prince is naturally cold and ruthless, countless people have died at his hands. He is also notorious for protecting his own, this time he came to the Prime Minister's residence in the night without even announcing himself, just how angry he must be! You unfilial son, do you know what kind of disaster you have caused!" The Prime Minister said with a look of exasperation and disappointment.

“Although the Fifth Prince is cold and rarely interacts with others, Yue'er believes he must be a reasonable prince. Although that young lady was escorted by guards, Third Sister also said that the guards left later, and they didn't reveal their identities. This...Third Sister made a mistake, but not a big one. Ignorance is bliss, Father. You should please the Fifth Prince for us..." Murong Yue slowly analyzed the situation.

"You said the guards were unmarked" The Prime Minister seemed to have grasped a crucial piece of information.

Murong Yue nodded. The prime minister then looked at Murong Rou, who quickly nodded. The prime minister then looked at the steward standing beside him, and the steward also nodded.

This… since the guard didn't reveal their identity and left midway, could this young lady not be the one the Emperor spoke of, unaffected by the Fifth Prince's poison

This is strange. The Fifth Prince's Manor has never had a young lady protected by dark guards, so where did this one come from...

If it weren't for this young lady, what would the Fifth Prince have to do with my Prime Minister's residence

Muran Yue helped the gradually subsiding Chancellor sit down on a chair and smiled at Muran Rou.

Mùróng Ròu didn't dare to speak, but she was very strange in her heart....

She'd be so kind... to help me It's impossible, there must be something fishy going on!

As expected, Murong Yue winked at the maidservant beside her. The maidservant feigned fear and pretended to have weak legs, collapsing onto the ground.

"Slave, slave has lost composure, please pardon the Grand Minister!" The maid knelt on the ground, trembling...

"Get up, get up, go out!" The chancellor waved his hand impatiently.

"Yes! Thank you, Prime Minister!" the maid got up from the ground.

"What is that" Murong Yue pointed at the thing that had fallen from the maidservant's body and shouted.

The prime minister looked down, and with a start, he sprang up from his chair, staring in disbelief at the object the maid had dropped to the ground... kill her today, as if she never existed! Move aside for me!" Grand Minister Murong was enraged, his face flushed red, as he shoved away Murong Rou's biological mother.Murong Rou's biological mother p...
