After rebirth, he was pampered by the disabled prince.

"If grandma needs anything, just give her instructions."

"The Ai family just want to ask, do you know about the prince and Liang Di?"

Mu Xinghe was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Did grandma ask about what happened at Princess Menghua's house that day?"

"No, the Ai family is talking about before Liangdi entered the East Palace."

"Before entering the East Palace." Mu Xinghe blinked and felt reassured.

Mu Xinghe is Mu Hanyan's closest sister. She has had a miscarriage and her date was found to be more than two months old, but it was only a month since she was carried into the East Palace.

Either this child was not Xiao Zhe's, or he had been sleeping with Xiao Zhe before entering the palace, and the child was secretly married.

At that time, the Queen Mother did not know that the child had been born before entering the palace. If she had known, even if it was Xiao Zhe's, she would not have allowed it. Mu Hanyan and the child would definitely die.

But now, it seemed that God had made a decision for her and spared Mu Hanyan's life.

Although Xiao Zhe recognized the child, his expression seemed to have something hidden, and the Queen Mother did not think there was anything hidden. After all, if a man can take the initiative to take on this responsibility, it can only be true.

But even if the Queen Mother thinks this is true, it still needs to be investigated. If the Prince takes the initiative, then this matter will be over. If not, then Mu Hanyan would naturally be punished.

After all, the Queen Mother, as a woman, still knows about this kind of thing. If a man doesn't move, she can't make him do anything even if she tries her best.

Besides, after all, Mu Hanyan came from the Yongyi Hou Mansion, so he still had to give him some face.

Therefore, the Queen Mother summoned them today, mainly to ask about the situation.

Mu Xinghe also guessed it. She knew that with just one sentence, Mu Hanyan could be thrown into the abyss, but what's the use? Her real enemy was not Mu Hanyan, and besides, she couldn't do it if she were asked to lie in front of the Queen Mother.

"Before entering the palace, Mu Hanyan had always followed the rules and had no deviant behavior. The only thing that was out of line was that she took the initiative to jump off the cliff to follow His Highness, and then she also wanted to marry His Highness. As for whether she and His Highness were together There was a relationship before entering the palace, Xinghe doesn't know it, it's just a slight guess."

"Then she hid it really well." The Queen Mother's eyes flashed with fierceness, and then she smiled at Mu Xinghe and said, "In that case, you don't need to worry about her anymore."

Mu Xinghe lowered his eyes and said in a cold tone, "She got her wish and entered the East Palace. Her mother gave her a dowry. She has nothing to do with us anymore, so naturally she won't care about her anymore."

-

Mu Xinghe returned to the mansion, followed by palace officials, carrying many rewards to the mansion.

She only brought two boxes of makeup powder and perfume. When she returned to the mansion, she called Qiuyue and sent some more to the eldest princess's mansion and palace.

That night, Mu Xinghe received news from Xiao Yu.

Now that Xiao Zhe recognized the child in Mu Hanyan's belly and got the news from Mu Xinghe, after investigation, it was indeed not Xiao Zhe who Mu Hanyan took the initiative to seduce.

But she also had such thoughts, and the two of them could only hit it off, so the Queen Mother restrained her and said a word.

Since Mu Hanyan is no longer the daughter of Yongyi Houfu, she should no longer have Mu Heng's surname "Mu". From now on, her name will be: Hanyan.

A person who has been deprived of his surname, Mu... No, Hanyan can only be Xiao Zhe's concubine from now on, and her name will be crossed out on the royal jade certificate.

Even if Xiao Zhe ascends the throne as emperor in the future and her name is not included in the royal jade certificate, she can only be a concubine and cannot be promoted to a concubine.

Even if she is the emperor's concubine, she belongs to the concubine room, but someone like Mu Hanyan cannot even be such a concubine.

Of course, the Empress Dowager passed away and Xiao Zhe gained power. If he could compete with the civil servants, it would not be impossible to add Han Yan's name to Yudie. But how could he, who always weighs the pros and cons, get a reputation as a foolish king among civil servants because of this incident? Let the people of the world point at his nose and scold him.

The more important point is that Xiao Zhe will never be emperor. So, it's all just talk.

"Then there is Princess Lin'an. She has decided to marry His Highness the Crown Prince on the ninth day of the third lunar month in the spring. The Queen Mother has orally stated that although the harvests have been good in recent years, wars continue in the border counties every year. Winter clothes and food for the border army officers are indispensable, so they cannot be extravagant and wasteful. Just marry according to the specifications of the princess."

Hearing Sang Yin's words, Mu Xinghe smiled, "Princess Menghua must hate Mu Hanyan to death now."

Because of Mu Hanyan's relationship, Shi Yuelan and Xiao Zhe had to be together. It was also because the child in her belly was supposed to have a marriage standard beyond that of the crown prince's concubine, but now it could only meet the marriage standard of a princess.

"Menghua was so angry that she fainted. Shi Yuelan turned his anger on the servant girl. In just half a day, he had pulled three corpses out of her courtyard and placed them all in the dry well of Xiyuan."

"I'm afraid there are many innocent souls in the dry well in Xiyuan." Mu Xinghe recalled that it seemed that the incident in Xiyuan was exposed five years later.

Mu Xinghe thought for a while and said to Mu Chao, "Mu Chao, check the withered bones in Xiyuan to see if there are any good sons in them."

Although the reason why this incident was originally revealed was that a good family member entered the princess's house, and then there was no news. Her family came to look for her, and eventually the whole family died in a dry well.

Then a fire revealed the crime.

But Mu Xinghe didn't know whether the good man had entered the mansion or whether he was dead. She just thought that if he really ignored the laws of the country, then he would definitely not be the first good man to be killed.

Chun Xing was frightened, "Is this... really going to kill Liang Jiazi?"

Whether it is Lingnan or Qidong, there are very strict class distinctions. The lowest level is the criminal status. The criminal status may have been a commoner or a noble before. Those who committed a crime were demoted to the criminal status. The criminal status is The calamity affects three generations of the nine clans. After three generations, it will still be a crime, but it can be changed to a humble status.

A low status is above a sin status. Those who are from the three religions and the nine currents, such as prostitutes, are a low status.

Then there is the slave status. Above the slave status are the common people. In Lingnan, except for the officials and nobles, they are the common people. A son of a good family is a son of a common people, and he is not the son of a doctor, a witch, a merchant, or a worker. He is a son of a good family.

Nobles, officials, and royal families can kill people who are slaves at will, but the person's deed of sale must be in her hands, otherwise it is killing someone else's property.

But common people cannot kill at will. Common people do not have a contract to sell themselves. Even if they work in the mansion of a wealthy family, they only sign an ordinary contract. After the contract is over, they can leave if they don't want to do it.

Although Liangjiazi was also a commoner in his household registration, he was nobler than ordinary commoners. Such people became first-class maids when they entered the government and became maids.
