I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times - #986 - Chapter 986 It’s all about means

Just as he was leaving in a swaggering way, the chamberlain who had been waiting beside him for a long time immediately stopped him.

Bai Hanlin, Your Majesty has spoken to you in the Wende Hall.

Thank you, Xiao Wu turned around and followed the chambermaid down the corridor to the Hall of Wende.

Everyone saw this and felt envious for him. They were not afraid of being torn apart even if they openly offended Mu’s party.

Old Prime Minister Mu looked at Xiao Wu’s back, the corners of his lips pursed tightly, and a cold look passed through his eyes.

Your Majesty, Prime Minister…

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Prime Minister Mu, Let’s talk after we go out.

There are countless pairs of eyes staring at the palace, but this is not the place to talk.

Everyone pursed their lips and watched the old prime minister walking out shakily with his hands behind his back. A few of them looked at each other and followed silently. They were about to find a tea shop to discuss the next strategy.

Prime Minister Mu is their leader. If he retires and returns home, and there is no suitable person to take over, where will they go?

Bai Family, Banyan Tree Hall,

Bai Yunxi sat on the Luohan bed and was stunned as she listened to the news that Wenyou brought back.

Has someone covered up the rumor, or is it targeting the Mu family?

Yes, naming them directly is very offensive.

Other comments, when referring to something in particular, were all insinuations, but no one dared to be so explicit.

It has to be said that those who spread the rumors are either really bold, or they have seized the other party’s leverage and directly injected strong medicine.

Listening to Wenyou’s analysis, Baiyunxi rubbed her little finger,

Targeting the Mu family directly by naming them is tough.

He must be the enemy of the Mu family,

The Mu family is a well-established family with a profound foundation. If you are unsure or have a lower status than the Mu family, you will not dare to be so tough.

The weak eat the strong, this has always been the case.

Under no circumstances will others pity you and let you go just because you are weak. Instead, they will choose to kill you while you are weak.

Do you know who it is?

I checked, and the rumor came from the Jinqiu Teahouse, where a large number of students often gather. The teahouse is a stage for them to discuss knowledge and debate eloquence.

Only targeting students, letting rumors ferment among students and arousing public opinion, is clever.

It seems that the Mu family has hit the wall this time.

I hope that the other party will fight to the end and dampen the Mu family’s prestige.

Aunt Bai, do you want to check?

No, just keep an eye on it. When two tigers fight, there will always be an injury. When the time comes, there is no need to check, it will surface.

They don’t have to get involved in the fight between clans. If an innocent person is hurt, who will she talk to to reason?

Their family is still too weak and cannot afford to make mistakes now. Strength is something that must be played steadily and not drift.

Otherwise, it is easy to fall into trouble.

Kyoto, Rainforest Pavilion,

This is a poetry club favored by noble ladies in Kyoto, with its nine-curved corridor, numerous stone forests, small bridges and flowing water, and its elegant style.

In the private room, Mu Zhuolan sat behind the table, playing with the tea set in his hands. With a set of smooth operations, a cup of fragrant tea was served to the opposite side.

Princess, please give it a try. Is there any improvement?

You have always been a good player. You practice hard every day. If you don’t make progress, wouldn’t you be angry to death?

Princess Hehui held the tea cup, smelled it, curled her lips,

Compared to last time, it has definitely improved a bit.

Hearing these words, Mu Zhuolan frowned almost imperceptibly, with this gun-and-stick tone,

What’s going on? Which servant made you unhappy and took it out on my tea soup?

If a maid really offends me, what will you do?

Princess Hehui looked at the quiet and orchid person opposite her, her expression was calm and gentle, her eyebrows were slightly curved, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

You are a high-ranking princess, just a maidservant. You can sell it if you are not satisfied. Why bother worrying about such a trivial matter?

Mu Zhuolan smiled slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, her brows relaxed slightly.

Ha~, aren’t you usually the most kind-hearted and soft-hearted? What happened today? It’s not like you to shout and kill. Princess Hehui looked at her and raised her eyebrows.

When you are soft-hearted, you will be deceived. If you continue to be a soft-hearted person, you will bring it upon yourself.

Mu Zhuolan stared into her eyes and shook his head,

I’ve never been offended by others, and I don’t offend anyone. If someone offends someone in front of me, I won’t let him off lightly.

What you say makes sense, I agree.

Two pairs of eyes collided in the air, sparks crackling, until Mu Zhuolan looked away and cleared his throat.

You are determined to retaliate and are unwilling to suffer losses.

I have always wanted to seek revenge and complain. You and I are both daughters of a noble family in Kyoto, and our family upbringing has been from a young age. You and I are familiar with the face in front of others, the nature of others behind the scenes, and the secret calculations in the back house. Fight. The only thing is the means, and in the end, the winner will be the winner and the loser. Regardless of winning or losing, we will retain our dignity. This is our dignity and pride.

As Princess Hehui spoke, she leaned slightly on the chair and stared into Mu Zhuolan’s eyes, but every word struck her heart.

…You are right. I lost this round.

She finally had the chance to trample her under her feet, forcing her to bow her head.

Unexpectedly, she pulled away quickly, without any nostalgia at all.

Once, this person told her that if one day in the future, she meets the person she likes, she will fight for her desperately and leave no regrets in her heart.

It turns out that she was overthinking everything, and when her ideals met reality, she was just being sentimental.

You are bound to lose. Nothing out of the blue can’t hurt me. Your Mu family is afraid of Bai Hanlin and wants to get rid of him quickly. There are thousands of ways to do it, but you have chosen the most difficult one. If you want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, you have to look at it. I disagree.

Princess Hehui looked at her and sneered in a low voice,

You and I have grown up together and know each other well, but you have overlooked one thing. I am indeed curious about Bai Hanlin, but it is just curiosity.

Mu Zhuolan: …

She was reckless and should have waited.

Grandfather and father mentioned Bai Hanlin more than once, saying that he was a strong enemy of the Mu family. It was easy to deal with him, but it was difficult to explain to the officials.

It happened that she saw the two meeting in private that day, and wanted to suppress it with public opinion. She knew how much Taishi Ning valued He Hui, his granddaughter. Regardless of whether it was Bai Hanlin’s fault or not, as long as he harmed He Hui’s reputation, he would rather kill him by mistake than let him go.

Unexpectedly, Grand Master Ning did not take action or say anything, and the entire Ning family was silent. Instead, Wen Quxing’s statement was made.

Before she could find out the source of the rumor, Jinqiu Tea House criticized her grandfather’s age.

In order for the younger generation to have enough time to grow up and continue the glory of the Mu family, my grandfather devoted all his efforts to recommending those disciples. Unfortunately, those few disciples were not able to do their best and could not even make a splash in the court.

Talent is indeed not something that just anyone wants to have. (End of chapter)
