The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 164 Mu Hongliao's Problem

Mu Hongliao was furious and shouted loudly: "Let me go, you little bitch!"

Mu Lanfeng gently shook off Mu Hongliao's hand, straightened his sleeves, and said calmly: "Fourth sister, I was just kindly asking you if the fish was delicious, but you got so angry. It seems that this fish is not to your taste!"

Mu Hongliao's eyes widened in anger, her face flushed, her chest rising and falling sharply: "Little bitch, you still dare to say that, what on earth are you thinking?"

Mu Lanfeng smiled lightly, but her eyes were as cold as ice: "Fourth sister, what do you mean? I mean it with good intentions! I just want to care about you!"

"You still have good intentions? You clearly want to embarrass me, or I'll tear your mouth apart!" Mu Hongliao's eyes were wide open, and as she spoke, she pretended to pounce on Mu Lanfeng.

Mu Lanfeng stood where he was, without any intention of dodging, staring straight at Mu Hongliao.

Mu Hongliao's raised hand froze in mid-air, and then she timidly moved her feet back.

"Stop making trouble, stop making trouble! You will make the Prime Minister and his wife unhappy! Today is a good day for the eldest girl!" Aunt Liu persuaded timidly.

"Get out of here!" Mu Hongliao was furious. She pushed Aunt Liu away and vented all her anger on her. "What kind of aunt are you? Your daughter was bullied, and you didn't help her. Why are you trying to be a peacemaker here?"

Aunt Liu staggered after being pushed, her face full of panic and feeling wronged. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly and her lips trembled slightly. However, she didn't know how to refute and could only silently endure Mu Hongliao's anger.

Mu Lanfeng raised his hand and subconsciously wanted to help Aunt Liu, but put it down in an instant.

Her voice was still cold, but a little more restrained: "Fourth sister, why do you have to be like this? Aunt Liu is your own aunt, and you can treat her like this!"

"How can she be called my aunt? She just gave birth to me. I was raised by my mother herself!" Mu Hongliao's face was full of disdain, as if Aunt Liu was just an insignificant existence in her eyes.

Then he glared at Mu Lanfeng fiercely, his eyes full of provocation, "Little bitch, what do you want me to do?"

Mu Lanfeng sighed softly and said no more.

She knew that it was useless to talk more to Mu Hongliao, as this spoiled fourth sister would not listen to any advice.

He turned around and was about to leave, but then stopped and looked back at Aunt Liu with a trace of pity in his eyes.

Aunt Liu's face was full of grievance, tears welled up in her eyes, but she dared not utter a word.

"Aunt Liu, can you really bear to watch Fourth Sister go on like this?" Mu Lanfeng said calmly without turning back.

Aunt Liu trembled slightly and opened her mouth, but she didn't know how to answer. She hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything. "I... I..."

"Little bitch, what exactly do you want her to do?" Mu Hongliao's eyes widened as she yelled at Mu Lanfeng.

Then, she turned her head sharply, glared at Aunt Liu fiercely, and threatened: "You dare!"

Aunt Liu was so frightened by Mu Hongliao's glare that she trembled all over. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at her.

Mu Lanfeng no longer paid attention to Aunt Liu and Mu Hongliao and her daughter, turned around and left slowly.

Mu Hongliao stood there, shaking with anger, but there was nothing she could do but watch Mu Lanfeng go away.

"Hongliao, let's go too!" Aunt Liu said weakly.

Mu Hongliao turned around and glared at Aunt Liu fiercely, her face full of grievance, and she shouted angrily: "How could I have an aunt like you? Humph!"

His eyes were full of unwillingness!

After saying that, he ran away without looking back.

Aunt Liu felt full of grievances.

She was afraid of Mu Xun, Jiang, the old lady, and even everyone in the mansion...

He has been submissive all his life and listens to whatever others say.

Even the head maid in her own yard dared to look at her coldly, but she could only endure it silently.

She had no powerful family to rely on, and no son to support her. She only had a daughter who was spoiled by Jiang and did not recognize her.

Aunt Liu looked at Mu Hongliao's back as she ran away, and a pang of sadness rose in her heart.

How could such a good child become like this?

Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, but she still couldn't figure out the reason. She could only shake her head helplessly and quickly followed.

She doesn't look like Mu Hongliao's aunt at all, but more like an old maid who is ordered around by him!

……

The noise continued until the evening, when it slowly dissipated. The guests left the Mu Mansion in groups of two or three after bidding farewell to the host.

Mu Xun pounded his sore shoulders, his eyes fell on Jiang, who also looked tired, and he smiled warmly and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Madam!"

Jiang also responded with a smile: "It's not hard! As long as Baiying can have a good home, no matter what I pay, it's worth it.

At this point, Mu Xun showed a relieved smile on his face and said slowly: "Bai Ying is indeed a good child. She deserves all this."

After a slight pause, he seemed to have thought of something, his face darkened instantly, and then he continued: "Hong Liao is really outrageous! In front of everyone, he actually uttered foul language. Tell me, where can I put my old face from now on?"

Jiang walked up to Mu Xun, helped him calm down, and repeatedly comforted him: "Prime Minister, please calm down. Hong Liao is just a child after all, so it is understandable that she is ignorant. Besides, the child didn't lose his temper for no reason!"

Having said this, Jiang remained silent, for she knew very well that if she continued she would be considered as stirring up trouble.

Mu Xun is such a smart person, how could he not understand the deep meaning of Jiang's words?

"No one of them is worry-free!" Mu Xun was furious and slammed his palm hard on the table. The table shook slightly and made a dull sound.

"My Lord, please don't be angry as today is Baiying's wedding day! After all, the children are still young and we just need to teach them well in the future!" Jiang spoke earnestly, her expression full of kindness, just like a loving mother.

Mu Xun sighed deeply, waved his sleeves helplessly, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it! Let's talk about it after today!"

Madam Mu coughed twice, her face gloomy, and she glanced at the couple with displeasure.

She has never liked being in a crowd, and Mu Baiying is not Mu Xun's biological daughter.

For her, it was not her place to show up at such a banquet. If she had not considered Mu Xun's face and was afraid of being criticized, she would definitely not bother to come.

Mu Xun and Jiang were both startled when they heard the old lady's light cough.

They looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Jiang knew that the old lady's coughs were a reminder, but she still pretended to be extremely concerned and said softly, "Mother, it's very cold in winter, you have to wear more clothes. If you catch a cold, you will be the one who suffers!"

The old lady glanced at Jiang, curled her lips slightly, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Humph, you are really good at saying nice things! It is not your turn to worry about how much I wear. But you teach your own daughter to be well-educated, dignified and sensible, but you blindly praise other people's children. How can there be such a vicious mother like you in the world?"

The old lady's words were like sharp arrows, piercing Jiang's heart.

When Jiang heard this, her face turned pale instantly. She opened her mouth and wanted to refute, but her eyes accidentally swept over Mu Xun.

At that moment, she immediately pretended to be deeply wronged, and tears kept rolling in her eyes, as if they would fall at any time.

"My lord, I thought Hong Liao was still young and innocent. If I disciplined her too strictly, she would lose the liveliness and innocence that a child should have. I didn't expect to cause her mother to misunderstand me. I am really wronged." Jiang's voice trembled with resentment and grievance.

Mu Xun was caught between the old lady and Jiang, feeling torn and overwhelmed.

He looked at the old lady with a solemn expression and said in a steady tone: "Mother, what the lady said makes sense. You may have misunderstood and wrongly blamed her!"

After saying that, he turned around again, gently comforted Jiang, and whispered softly: "Madam, don't be sad, just talk about this matter, mother will understand your painstaking efforts!"

The old lady looked at Mu Xun who was wholeheartedly protecting Jiang, and shook her head helplessly. She sighed deeply and said coldly: "Forget it, leave it to you. I am too lazy to care. They are your girls anyway. Whether they are good or bad depends on their luck!"

After saying that, the old lady stood up tremblingly and left with the support of Mother Li.
