Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 126 The Rumors Intensify

"Hey, did you know about that?"

"Ah, that thing, I know about it! You can never know a person's heart from his appearance!"

"I didn't expect Prime Minister Mu to be this kind of person. That child looks almost as old as the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion!"

"Who says it isn't?"

If someone could overlook the entire capital, and zoom in on a place where a crowd gathers, they would probably hear similar remarks.

After a perfect saint is tainted, is he still the same person?

At least not in the eyes of others, he has become a hypocritical person.

The words of praise that they used to say seemed to have been forgotten and turned into sarcasm.

Overnight, the prime minister was no longer the glorious image he once was to most common people, and they began to doubt the intentions of his previous actions.

After all, the prime minister has kept this matter secret for many years. If the other party hadn’t come to him, the prime minister might not have admitted it!

Poor Prime Minister's wife and the young master and young lady.

Mu Wenyu was still in the study discussing with several advisers how to reduce the impact of this incident.

Yesterday, I dealt with the difficulties that Xue Niang encountered. This incident made Xu Jingshu even more dissatisfied, and she insisted on going back to her parents' home.

Being suppressed by Mu Wenyu, he only said one sentence, "Do you want to prove the truth of this matter to others impatiently?"

Xu Jingshu was choked and could only grit her teeth and return to her own yard, staying indoors and not seeing anyone, including her own children.

Now most of Mu Wenyu’s political enemies have doubts and are unsure about the accuracy of the news. After all, smart people always think more.

So he still has time, but he won’t be able to do so when he goes to court later.

After all, he wouldn't deny it.

Whether it is true or false, someone will always discover the truth. What's more, he and Xue Niang are from the same place, which cannot be denied.

Mu Wenyu pinched his brows coldly and admitted that it was no big deal, it just had some impact on his reputation.

The reputation he had accumulated over the years was gone. Now thinking again, Xue Niang didn't seem like such a foolish person. She always knew what he wanted.

Xue Niang has been patient for twenty years, so this should not have been her suggestion.

and so……

Could it be that a political enemy had already found that place and lured the two children to go outside his house to spread the news? !

But usually Xueniang keeps a close eye on her children's actions, but this time?

Mu Wenyu suddenly remembered how weak Xue Niang looked when they met yesterday, and immediately asked someone to check it out.

As a result, the doors and windows were closed tightly by someone, and he was burned unconscious by the charcoal fire!

A hint of darkness flashed across Mu Wenyu's eyes. There must be someone behind such a coincidence.

Could it be that the person who has the ability to find the person there and has been plotting against him is the same person?

Those princes are not easy to deal with!

If he were to choose someone who is easy to control, the only one would be the third prince Ji Qichen.

Neither his mother nor he was favored by the emperor, and he did not have a strong maternal family.

The most important thing is that he has not yet married or taken a concubine!

This pleased Mu Wenyu very much, as he just wanted Xier to marry a prince.

A prince who is easy to control and ranks high.

Hidden beneath Mu Wenyu's long eyelashes was a strong and terrifying ambition. The position of prime minister was never the pinnacle he thought it was.

What other position can compare to that of a regent who has all the power in the government?

He really wanted to imitate the regent who controlled the government and the country in the previous dynasty and push a puppet emperor to the throne.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to be emperor, but unfortunately he is not of royal blood, so he will definitely be resisted by everyone, especially those old-fashioned people who are in the same camp with him.

There will be no friends who will always be in the same camp. Only interests can maintain their relationship.

Mu Wenyu drank a cup of strong tea and barely suppressed his sleepiness. It seemed that not sleeping all night had no effect on him.

He put on his court robes leisurely as usual, and before leaving, he asked his personal servant to help look after Xueniang and the others.

Just like that, Mu Wenyu got on the carriage calmly.

Even if he knew that someone was bound to impeach him at the morning court, what would that do?

Although these stigmas are now remembered by everyone, they will not be written into history.

Only the winners who hold power can write history.

Mu Wenyu wanted to be admired and respected by everyone even after his death.

The road to the morning court was extremely long and it was not possible to take a carriage, so Mu Wenyu was soon stared at by many unexpected and unclear gazes.

But what harm could this do to him?

Mu Wenyu smiled and nodded to other officials as usual, as if nothing had happened.

This was beyond everyone else's expectations, and they couldn't help but feel confused and even question what happened yesterday.

Could it be that this was a plot set up by someone else?

Deliberately trying to ruin the Prime Minister's reputation?

The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this matter was suspicious. Even if the prime minister had a mistress outside and had a child, he wouldn't come directly to the house to claim the relationship, right? !

That child was shouting loudly in front of so many people, I'm afraid he was deliberately framing the Prime Minister!

They gathered together to discuss it, and their glances towards the Prime Minister were mixed with some pity.

I was actually plotted against like this, I can't explain why it's so unreasonable!

Mu Wenyu stepped into the court under such gazes, his expression still calm, just like usual.

The emperor sat on a high place and looked down at his prime minister. Was he not afraid, or was this matter itself a misunderstanding?

"Everyone loves you!"

"If you have something to do, start the show, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

When the emperor said the last sentence, he was staring at the prime minister, but the upper half of the emperor's face was hidden behind the long crown tassels and no one noticed it.

After the emperor finished speaking, the court was silent for a long time. No one wanted to be the first to offend the prime minister.

Moreover, looking at the Prime Minister's confident look, he doesn't seem unprepared.

After much hesitation, a small official was finally pushed out by others.

"Your humble servant, your humble servant has something to report." The minor official took a step forward tremblingly.

"Tell me." The emperor replied perfunctorily without even glancing at the minor official.

Cold sweat broke out on the official's forehead. He took a deep breath, not daring to look at the Prime Minister's expression, "I want to impeach Prime Minister Mu for his personal morals and improper work style!"

"How has the Prime Minister's personal morality been flawed or his work style been improper?" The emperor looked at the Prime Minister, who had calmed down at the moment, and felt a little bored for a moment.

"I heard that two children, one big and one small, knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's residence yesterday and claimed that they were the Prime Minister's children. May I ask if this is true, Prime Minister?"

The other officials and princes all looked at the prime minister, wondering how he should answer.

Mu Wenyu didn't show any panic at all, and calmly said, "It's true."

The other officials opened their eyes, their eyes filled with shock and confusion. Why did the prime minister admit it so easily?

And he's so calm?!

The eldest prince, oh no, it should be the crown prince, was also very surprised to hear the prime minister's words. Could it be that he has some tricks up his sleeve that he hasn't used yet?

The second prince looked at today's prime minister without leaving any trace. He even suspected that the prime minister had been drugged.

The third prince was somewhat happy. He hadn't seen such a good show for several years!
