Chapter 32 No Face

The two princesses, Madam Song, Luo, and Madam Jiang looked at Mu Cang in disbelief as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight, unable to react.

Mu Cang was actually with Yan Li?

No, how could this be possible?

How could a man like Mu Cang look at Yan Li more than once?

"I can't come?" Mu Cang got off the carriage and stood with his hands behind his back. His tall and thin body had a sense of oppression, and his eyebrows and eyes were filled with the cold pressure formed by long-term battlefields. "So many people are standing here waiting to be punished?"

Princess Yu subconsciously explained: "Yan Li is guilty of insubordination--"

"Yan Li is the Princess of Nanyang personally appointed by the emperor, and is also the fiancée granted by the emperor to me." Mu Cang's voice was as cold and stern as ever, like frost injected into the warm summer sun, "You all stopped here to be punished, and beat and scolded her wantonly. Who is insubordination and who is despising the imperial power?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present all turned pale.

"Your Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't know this!" Princess Xian gritted her teeth, thinking she was right, and spoke in an aggressive tone, "Yan Li took advantage of the fact that she had just been named Princess Nanyang and attacked the two county lords first, and rudely kicked Mu Yun into the lake! Even in front of the emperor, such behavior should be condemned!"

"Princess, you are wrong." Nanny An stepped forward and bent her knees, but her tone was neither humble nor arrogant, "Princess Mu Ya was beaten because she insulted the princess, saying that the princess was not worthy of marrying the Ninth Prince, and was not even worthy of being a foot-washing maid for the Ninth Prince."

Princess Yu blushed: "How could Ya'er say such a thing?"

"I heard it with my own ears , saw it with their own eyes. "Madame An said firmly, "All the noble ladies who attended the banquet heard it. If they don't admit it, they are lying and covering up for it."

Princess Yu's face turned green and red: "You..."

"Princess Mu Yun was thrown into the river because she splashed tea on the princess' face. Is this behavior considered as a violation of the superiors? Is it considered a lack of education?" Madame An's eyes swept across Princess Yu's face and looked at Princess Xian, "May I ask Princess Xian, who is older, the princess or the princess?"

Princess Xian said angrily: "Ya'er is ignorant, are you, a nanny, also ignorant?"

Although the princess is older than the princess, is Yan Li a real golden branch and jade leaf? An orphan without a father and a mother, even if she is a princess, what does it matter? She is still a lowly orphan with the title of princess. Why can she be compared with the real royal blood?

"Please forgive me, Princess." Nanny An knelt down again and said with lowered eyebrows, "I didn't do it. Princess Mu Ya splashed a cup of tea on the princess, and the princess kicked her into the lake, which is fair. In terms of status, the princess is more noble than the princess; in terms of right and wrong, it was Princess Mu Ya who started the fight first; in terms of age, the princess is one year younger than the princess... So no matter from which aspect, Princess Mu Ya was wrong first."

Under her orderly rebuttal, Princess Xian couldn't say a word - of course, she didn't admit defeat, she just didn't have the confidence to refute.

If Mu Cang hadn't been there, no matter who was right or wrong, who was right or wrong, she would never let Yan Li go easily.

But Mu Cang was there, and he defended Yan Li so much.

Princess Xian didn't dare to do anything unreasonable.

"The Song family girl is not bad either." Nanny An turned her eyes slightly and quickly looked at Madam Song, "You dare to insult the princess as a 'little bitch' as ​​a servant. You can see the family style of the Song family."

Madam Song's face turned pale and she glanced at Mu Cang subconsciously, "I... I don't know..."

"Today, whoever went to the Prime Minister's Mansion was rude to the princess, who insulted the princess, who belittled the princess, and who despised her left and right, I saw it all and remembered it in my heart." Nanny An looked around without arrogance, "Even if I report it to the emperor, I will report these words to the emperor intact. At that time, I hope the two princesses and Madam Song can bring their daughters to the palace and let the emperor decide what is right and wrong."

Princess Yu and Princess Xian looked ugly and speechless.

"Ninth Prince." Old Madam Jiang looked at Mu Cang and spoke in an elder's manner to help the two princesses and Madam Song out of the predicament. "Since Yan Li is back, I will handle this matter impartially. Thank you, Ninth Prince, for sending her back."

"Yan Li's affairs have nothing to do with the Jiang family, and the Jiang family does not need to intervene." Mu Cang did not give her face. "She is the princess personally appointed by the emperor, and is also my wife who has not yet married, and the future Ninth Prince's Consort. No matter what happens, her affairs will be handled by the emperor and me."

Old Madam Jiang's expression froze instantly, her face was pale and embarrassed.

According to seniority, Mu Cang should call her a cousin. If it weren't for the incident that year, she would now be a majestic princess of the royal family.

However, today, she is just the old lady of the Jiang family.

"From today on, Yan Li is my future princess." Mu Cang looked around at the people in front of him, "If anyone is dissatisfied with her in the future, you can send someone to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to report to me, and I will give you an explanation."

After saying that, Mu Cang turned his head and looked at Madam Song: "Please go back and tell Minister Song that if he can't teach his daughter well, he won't have to take the position of Minister, and it's okay to give up the position as soon as possible."

Madam Song was so stiff that she dared not say a word. She wanted to find a place to hide. She hurriedly saluted to Mu Cang: "I...I know, I will go back and teach Yingxue a lesson."

After saying that, she didn't dare to delay for a moment and left with people in disgrace.

"Princess Yu, go back and tell Princess Mu Ya that if she likes to be a foot-washing maid, it's not impossible for me to fulfill her wish."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Princess Yu's face, and she said with some displeasure: "Isn't the Ninth Prince's words too unpleasant? Even if Mu Ya is ignorant, she...she is the princess after all..."

"I can make her become the princess." Mu Cang said in a cold voice, "Do you want to try?"

Princess Yu immediately stopped talking. She was so aggrieved and angry that she didn't dare to say anything more. She could only look at Yan Li bitterly and walked away with her servants.

She didn't dare try. m.

Who doesn’t know that Mu Cang is a man of his word? How could the wives of the royal family in Jinxiudui dare to learn the skills developed through years of immersion in the battlefield?

What's more, he holds the power of Mu's 300,000 soldiers and horses. Let alone a princess, even if a prince falls into his hands, he can always find a reason to seize the title and demote him to a commoner.

"Spill tea on a princess's face." Mu Cang turned to look at Princess Xian, "It seems that Princess Xian does this kind of thing at home, so her daughter can learn well..."

"I was too impulsive just now." Princess Xian apologized to Yan Li, "If Mu Yun really did it first, then she was the fault of this matter. I shouldn't have come indiscriminately to investigate. Please forgive me, Princess Nanyang."

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Li to respond, he hurriedly left with a group of maids and guards from Prince Xian's Mansion.
