Chapter 428: Prime Minister Mu Is Here

As for her nephew and niece, she doted them like her own children, now that her sister-in-law was not around anymore, she had to fulfill the responsibility of a mother.

From the eyes of Prince Xiao, she could tell he had feelings for Mu Xue, she understood there would be a marriage alliance, and it was possible because the two of them had feelings for each other after getting along.

Prince Xiao nodded his head: “Auntie, don’t worry, I will take care of her like how it is right now.”

”Then I’m assured, this is what sister-in-law gave me at that time, she wanted me to pass it to her future son-in-law,” She took out a piece of crimson jade.

Ning Meng Yao froze, it was a blood jade.

The Mu Siblings never expected that their mother had left such an item for them.

Xiao Qi Tian accepted the piece of jade, he was feeling weird when he looked at the jade.

After that, Madam Lin took out a green bracelet, Ning Meng Yao could see clearly that it was an emperor green bracelet. Such a bracelet was very precious in the market, the value was similar to the blood jade.

”Xuan Xuan, this is left behind for you by your mother-in-law.”

”Thank you, auntie.”

”No need to be polite.”

Grand Tutor Lin’s family were really satisfied with Xiao Qi Tian and Situ Xuan, they felt the four were a match made in heaven.

Because of Mu Xue and the others, Ning Meng Yao and the others also stayed in the Grand Tutor’s Residence and seldom went out.

Over the next two days, they had been busy with many things, Ning Meng Yao felt so exhausted that she felt her bones would crumble, she then slept in the guestroom for two whole days.

Fortunately, everyone knew she was a pregnant lady and did not really mind, if it was someone else who had been a guest and slept for a few days, they would receive a terrible scolding.

These few days, Grand Tutor Lin began preparing some betrothal gifts and dowry for his grandchildren, but in the end, he realized that it seemed too little.

He began to worry, but the two of them told Grand Tutor Lin that they had been doing business alongside Ning Meng Yao and earned a lot, there was no shortage of stuff.

Grand Tutor Lin was completely at ease after hearing what they said.

The family was getting along well but an uninvited guest arrived.

It was Prime Minister Mu.

”Why are you here?” Grand Tutor Lin looked coldly at Prime Minister Mu, there was even a sharp glint in his eyes.

Prime Minister Mu froze, he was feeling displeased: “Greetings, father-in-law.”

”Prime Minister Mu, stop putting up an act with me, my Lin Family does not have a son-in-law like you. Speak, why are you here?” Even if he was the Prime Minister, so what? Grand Tutor Lin did not give him any face at all, he even wished to directly slap that man.

Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the emotionally unstable Grand Tutor Lin: “Grandpa, don’t be angry.”

”Grandpa is not angry, grandpa is just waiting to see what is the outcome of such a hypocritical person,” Fortunately, the two children were not raised in Mu Family, or how would they turn out right now? He looked at the two children who were worried about him, Grand Tutor Lin felt grateful for his decision at that time.

Prime Minister Mu’s expression darkened: “Father-in-law, I’m still Mu Chen and Mu Xue’s father.”

”You are their father because you see the two children having good marriages? Have you properly raised them? No, you just allowed an inconspicuous woman to bully them. They are children raised by my Lin Family, they have no relations to your Mu Family, if Wan’er said never to bother you, did you think you could remain as the lofty Prime Minister right now?” Grand Tutor Lin yelled angrily.

At that time, his daughter had noticed it before something came up, she had made proper arrangements and left him something that belonged to Prime Minister Mu, she wanted to use those items to exchange for the two children’s freedom, she even said not to attack the Mu Family and just let it be.

Those words to them were the last words of their child, they could only comply, that was why they never bothered the people from Mu Family. When they saw the girl Mu Yu from the Mu Family strutting around, they had wanted to use those items to take action multiple times.

”Prime Minister Mu, if you’re here today to piss off grandpa, then please leave. Grandpa is old and is unable to endure it,” Mu Chen looked coldly at Prime Minister Mu, there was a glimmer in his eyes.

I finally (sadly) caught up with the latest batch of chapters I’d not read yet. It reminded me again that while I thoroughly hate Gu Fangzi, I can’t help but feel sympathetic towards her plight in some ways. Sure her ways and methods of achieving her goals are ruthless and worthy of granting her the title of “Grand Bitch”. However she is stuck in an awful spot as well.

Especially after her father dies, after seeing her “beloved” (quotation marks since I honestly don’t think she ever saw her cousin as anything other than a nice meal ticket that came with a nice roof over her head) veer more and more towards Sang Wan. Who knows what his feelings will be towards her in three years after her mourning period is over? For all she knows he won’t even remember her at all, and then she’ll be stuck in a rut with no one to care for her.

It’s quite refreshing to have such a well thought-out villain that, despite all her flaws, has her reasons for doing what she does beyond loving the male lead. It also helps that the story is (so far, fingers crossed) set outside of the more natural habitat for this type of story, in the middle of a battle for who will become the next Emperor. The Shi family is rich, for sure, but they aren’t nobles (unless I am misremembering something from the early chapters). And Gu Fangzi is not your typical villain in these types of stories, that has the backing of major families that can keep them safe and sound despite whatever crazy scheme they come up with. It also means that her situation is more desperate since she lacks that support, she has NOTHING to fall back on beyond her ties with the Shi family (even Sang Wan has at least her brothers and sister-in-law to rely on). And then some random nobody comes and basically steals what she had thought was her natural spot for the majority of her life. All of that compounds to make for Gu Fangzi, to me, a more believable, intriguing and interesting villain that I can (to a certain extent) sympathize with.

Anyway, that became quite the TL;DR. Ahem. Thanks as always for the translations!
