Chapter 2128: The Past Life 53
Old Lady Mu went to the wedding banquet, cursing and raging violently. Since then, everyone in this city had stayed away from her.
Mu Yi’s father’s family also regretted that they had forced him to marry this old lady back then.
Even though the old lady had been divorced, that year’s incident was still the talk of the town.
So, there was really no one in this imperial city who liked Old Lady Mu.
Now, Old Lady Mu had probably seen this young girl and deliberately bullied her. However, she was the Ninth Emperor’s people, so she must be as strong as her master.
No one in the imperial city dared to teach Old Lady Mu a lesson in public, fearing her as she was the mother of the emperor’s son-in-law.
Now, Old Lady Mu must be embarrassed because of this young girl.
Sima Yam did not understand why Mu Yi would still side his unreasonable mother and attack this girl. Could he not see what kind of virtue his mother had.
“General Sima…” Mu Yi’s face sank. “I respect you as a general, protecting the kingdom and the people. So I have been more tolerant of you, but if you do this again, don’t blame me for being ungracious!”
Sima Yan sneered. “Really? You are only a defeated general. I would like to see how you will fight me.”
“You…”
Mu Yi’s face darkened. He looked at Sima Yan with his eyes full of anger.
Sima Yan was right. Mu Yi was indeed not his opponent. However, Mu Yi was an imperial relative, and Sima Yan was just a general, yet he dared to be so rude to the emperor’s son-in-law!
“General Sima…” Mu Qingya smiled and walked toward Sima Yan. “My father is only worried about Grandmother. After all, Grandmother is very old. She fell, and if something happens, who would take the responsibility?”
Sima Yan sneered. ‘If that old lady falls sick, the whole imperial city will be celebrating it.’
“Moreover, Grandmother is not only my father’s mother but also my mother’s mother-in-law.” Mu Qingya smiled faintly. “Of course, he can not see Grandmother being bullied. Generally, I don’t like to pressure people using my status, but I know more about respect and filial piety. No matter how bad Grandmother is, please respect her.”
Sima Yan looked at Mu Qingya coldly.
‘These people are not afraid of death. Don’t they know who Dongfang Yi is?’
There were many things he could say out loud.
“General Sima, we didn’t ask much. We just want her to apologize. As long as she apologizes, we can forgive all her actions. How about that?”
The crowd looked at Mu Qingya respectfully.
‘Noble Lady indeed never used her power to oppress others, and more importantly, she’s certainly filial and obedient to all her relatives.
‘Now she’s only asking for an apology. How difficult is that?
‘If it were someone else, it would not have been a matter of an apology.’
Looking at Mu Qingya’s face, Sima Yan smirked and said, “You want to make Dongfang Yu apologize… That is impossible.”
He glanced at the people in front of him coldly, but his eyes turned gentle when he turned to Dongfang Yu.
“Maiden Dongfang, you don’t need to pay attention to these people. I was wondering if you would come with me and be a guest in my house?”
