Yaoji looked at him indifferently. After a long while, she sighed faintly and said, "Just now, Concubine Liu sent a message saying that she seems to be pregnant. You should go and have a look."
Mu Yang's expression softened as if he had understood something. Smiling, he hugged Yaoji's thin shoulders and said somewhat awkwardly and complacently, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have kept it from you … But you know, Concubine Liu's father …" Yaoji lowered her eyes and said lightly, "I know, there are only two other girls in the residence besides Lie 'er. It's a good thing that Concubine Liu has a child.
He looked at Yaoji to make sure that her expression was normal and she wasn't angry. Only then did he release her and say, "Then I'll go and have a look first. I'll come over tonight to have dinner with you. "Yaoji nodded her head dispiritedly and left.
Just as Mu Yang went out, the window beside him moved, and Mu Lie climbed in through the window. Looking at Yaoji, she shook her head and said, "I don't understand why you keep thinking about him. For no reason, you've been given the title of a special favorite. How are the women in this mansion any less than other families? If it weren't for our protection, you wouldn't even know how you died. "
Yaoji looked at him helplessly and said, "Why don't you open the door? Are you addicted to climbing through the window? You're just a kid, what do you know … There's nothing going on between me and him. It's just that he … "
Mu Lie rolled his eyes and climbed into a chair to sit down. He said, "This young master doesn't like to take the ordinary path. I know what you're thinking. Even if you don't have any feelings for him, he's still the father of my younger brother whom I've never met. If the child grows up and finds out that it was you, his mother, who caused his father's death, you won't be able to explain it to the child, right? Can't you just not tell him? "
"There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall in the world, unless he doesn't know about his background for the rest of his life," Yaoji said with some melancholy. Mu Lie said, "I've never seen my parents, but they're still living happily. Also, didn't you say that his adoptive parents treated him very well? " Yaoji silently glanced at Mu Lie. How could a child who had never been a parent understand the feelings of a mother, no matter how smart he was? Mu Lie waved his hand and said, "That's enough. At most, you and Commander Qin can have another child. As for my little brother, I just need to know that he's doing well. It was much better than letting him know his current identity, right? Didn't you say that he is the son of an official now? "
He was well aware of how awkward Mu Lie's identity had been for the past few years. Firstly, he was the eldest son and the only son of Marquis Muyang's Household. If everything went well, he might inherit the title of Marquis Muyang's Mansion in the future. But on the other hand, he was the son of a concubine. His birth mother was once a dancer. Moreover, he was an unmarried child. If it wasn't for the fact that the House of Marquis Muyang never had a male heir, he wouldn't even be listed in the genealogy. This caused him to be ostracized by those of the same age as him. Fortunately, he didn't have to stay here and pretend to be the young master of Marquis Muyang's Mansion. Otherwise, after a few more years, even his marriage would be awkward. A real big family would not be willing to marry their first wife's daughter to the son of a dancer. A small family or a concubine's daughter would not be worthy of the identity of the heir of Marquis Muyang's household. If Yaoji's youngest son really grew up in Marquis Muyang's Mansion, Mu Lie dared to guarantee that he would not be killed by others. If he was not spoiled by Muyang, he would probably have a twisted personality.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Yaoji glared at him angrily. This child was getting more and more outspoken as he grew up. Mu Lie said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed. Commander Qin came to see you just now, right? "
Yaoji glanced at him indifferently. When Qin Feng was mentioned, Yaoji's expression became even more gloomy. Mu Lie patted her sympathetically and said, "Actually, you were asking for trouble when you came to Marquis Muyang's Mansion. If you married Commander Qin directly, even if our Prince hates the Mu Family, he would not find trouble with his brother for the sake of Princess Consort and Commander Qin. "
Yaoji smiled bitterly. How could things be as simple as he thought? If it were Princess Ding, she might not care, but Prince Ding would never let the Mu Family off so easily. If Prince Ding wanted to kill Marquis Muyang, he could have done it long ago. The reason why he did not do it was because he wanted to torture Marquis Muyang and destroy the Mu Family. How could Prince Ding let go of such a pawn like her? In these few years, although Marquis Muyang's Mansion was not destroyed, it was not peaceful.
"Lie 'er, you don't have to worry about me. I know what to do. "Yaoji smiled faintly. In this world, no one was more important than her son. Even if she could not be by his side to watch him grow up, she must do her best to let him live a worry-free life.
In Prince Li's Mansion, Ye Ying walked out of the mansion with two people beside her. But as soon as she walked into the hall, she was stopped. Ye Ying frowned and looked at Dongfang You in front of her. She said unhappily, "What are you doing?"
Dongfang You stared at Ye Ying from head to toe and asked, "Where are you going?"
Ye Ying's pretty face darkened. She said unhappily, "What does where I go have to do with you?" Dongfang You said indifferently, "Now I have the final say in Prince Li's Mansion. No one can go out without my permission."
Ye Ying sneered, "Who do you think you are? You are the Princess Consort and I am also the Princess Consort. If I want to go out, what can you do? What's more … I have asked the Imperial Consort Dowager. The Imperial Consort Dowager has agreed. What right do you have to disagree? "These days, the direction of Prince Li's Mansion had obviously changed. Dongfang You, who did not care about anything, suddenly took over many affairs of Prince Li's Mansion. She even had the intention of making Consort Xian Zhao a mere figurehead. Consort Xian Zhao did not like Ye Ying. But compared to the overbearing Dongfang You, the obedient and harmless Ye Ying was especially cute. So when Ye Ying occasionally asked her for something, Consort Xian Zhao would mostly agree.
Dongfang You sneered disdainfully, "I said, I have the final say in Prince Li's Mansion. Not to mention Consort Xian Zhao, even if the Empress Dowager came personally, it would be useless. " It was no wonder that Consort Xian Zhao did not like Dongfang You. Compared to Ye Ying, Dongfang You was much better than Ye Ying except for her bad reputation. But at the same time, Dongfang You's temper was not comparable to Ye Ying's. Maybe she had no interest in Mo Jingli, or maybe she did not care about Mo Jingli at all. When Dongfang You talked about Consort Xian Zhao and the Empress Dowager, there was no respect at all. Consort Xian Zhao had been noble all her life. How could she tolerate the rudeness of the younger generation?
"I insist on going out. What can you do?" Ye Ying said harshly.
Dongfang You raised her eyebrows. She did not expect Ye Ying, who seemed to have no temper these days, to be so tough. Compared to her third sister, Princess Ding, Ye Li, this Ye Ying was not like a family at all. Dongfang You had never cared about her either. Now that she was contradicted by Ye Ying, she was naturally even more unhappy. "Ye Ying, for Princess Ding's sake, I will also give you some face. But you'd better not be shameless! "
Ye Ying was furious. She did not care about Dongfang You and turned to walk out of the door. She did not believe that Dongfang You would dare to kill her in Prince Li's Mansion!
"Catch her!" Dongfang You said coldly.
