Chapter 41
Chu Chengye smiled and said in an approachable manner: "Master Mu, there is no need to be polite. My father has said that the emperor and his ministers are having fun together today, so don't hold back!"
When Chu Yuncheng saw Chu Chengye's show of goodwill, he sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Master Mu has a brisk step and a spring breeze on his face, but what happy event is there?"
As he said that, he glanced at Chu Xinyuan.
Chu Xinyuan sat still.
Speaking of which, he is the prince and Mu Mingyuan is the court official, so it doesn't matter if he just sits still.
But from another point of view, he is the son-in-law, and Mu Mingyuan is Lao Taishan, so he deserves a courtesy from him.
On the surface, Chu Chengye was approachable and courteous, but in his heart, he not only showed no kindness towards Mu Mingyuan, but also felt resentment towards him.
Previously, Mu Mingyuan's eldest daughter was engaged to Qin Xuran, the prince of Dingyuan Hou. Qin Xuran was his cousin. As long as Mu Qingyu married Qin Xuran and Mu Mingyuan became in-laws with Dingyuan Hou, he would belong to his eldest prince's faction.
However, Mu Qingyu finally married Lao Wu. The situation at that time was chaotic, but he didn't believe it was all just a coincidence. He just didn't know who was behind the scheme!
Maybe the fourth child didn't want him to get the help of the Minister of Civil Affairs and secretly sabotaged it. Maybe Mu Mingyuan didn't want to be involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son. But it's still unclear what role the fifth child played in this.
Although Chu Yuncheng's words were irritating to Mu Mingyuan, it was just because he was causing trouble for Chu Chengye. In fact, he was in a good mood. Lao Wu married Mu's eldest daughter, and the Mu family had nothing to do with Marquis Dingyuan. The eldest prince was there.
Without a big help, the staff did not fall into the hands of the eldest prince's faction, which was of great benefit to him.
After Mu Mingyuan saluted the princes, he said, "Old minister, I would like to have a word with His Highness Prince Liang, is it possible?"
Chu Chengye joked: "Fifth Emperor Brother, since Master Mu has something to say to you, do we need to stay away temporarily?"
Mu Mingyuan quickly smiled and apologized: "His Royal Highness King Jing killed the old minister. It doesn't need to be like this, it doesn't need to be like this!"
Although His Highness Prince Jing said this as a joke, he trembled in his heart and avoided it temporarily? Even if he was in the first rank, he would not have such face, let alone dare to have such face!
Chu Yuncheng smiled gracefully and said: "Master Mu, please!" Chu Chengye hid his knife in his smile, wasn't it because the marriage between the Mu family and Dingyuan Houfu fell through? This is something he is happy to see happen!
Chu Xinyuan was still sitting upright, looking at Mu Mingyuan with a cold expression: "What's the matter?"
His attitude was extremely cold, not a little warmer because Mu Mingyuan was his nominal father-in-law.
Of course, just because Mu Mingyuan was his father-in-law in name only, when he thought about how he was forced to marry, there was no love for him as a son-in-law. There was only deep-seated hatred!
Mu Mingyuan didn't care and said, "I wonder if my little girl is still obedient and hasn't caused any trouble to His Highness Prince Liang?"
How could it not be? I feel sick all over when I see her!
She used to be resentful and resentful, but now she is cold and indifferent and even more disgusting!
Her very existence made him feel nothing but disgust, reminding him of his humiliation all the time.
The six-year-old concubine was forced to commit suicide. It took him ten years to learn to grow, and another four years to get himself to where he is now, to appear in front of people again, but Mu Mingyuan only used a useless daughter to make him feel
Frustration made him see that he was still so weak in front of his father and in the court!
Chu Chengye smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Mu's words are too self-effacing. I heard that Miss Mu has been ill since she married to Prince Liang's Mansion. What kind of trouble will a person who takes care of his illness cause to his fifth brother?
