The handsome man's cold voice spread out, and in an instant, the noise in the crowd stopped and it became extremely quiet.

Yan Wanyu was infatuated and looked at him in panic, and was very worried that he would blame her for this.

She opened her mouth to explain, but he didn't even look at her and just walked right past her, which made her feel sad.

"Lord Qu is here." The old emperor looked at the handsome man walking towards him with a smile, his eyes full of trust.

The queen also looked straight at him with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Feng Lanyue glanced at him with her charming eyes, looking like she was enjoying a good show.

Yun Cairou lowered her head slightly, fearing that he would vent his anger on her, the person who organized the flower-viewing banquet.

After all, everyone knows that the prime minister loves his daughter dearly, and his legitimate daughter has been wronged by her, so she cannot escape the blame.

Just as she was about to open her mouth to apologize, she saw his cold face and chilliness. She was frightened and did not dare to step forward.

"The Prime Minister is here. Now there will be a good show to watch." Mo Chensen glanced at the charming woman and a smile appeared on his lips.

Mo Yaohe lowered his head nervously.

The prime minister is resourceful and shrewd, and he must have already seen through his thoughts.

Princess An Ning was humiliated today, and given the Prime Minister's character, I'm afraid he won't let him go.

He must think of a solution as soon as possible to reduce the punishment as much as possible.

The three princes were completely different.

Mo Yiyan said gloatingly: "Look, the prime minister is here. These talkative people are in trouble now." He felt sick when he heard what they were planning. It was a good thing that the prime minister was here, and he would definitely punish them severely.

Although he was usually afraid of making the prime minister angry, he couldn't wait for him to take action at this moment. After all, these people had bad intentions, and he wanted the prime minister to punish them. As for him, he was just a bystander, and it didn't involve him, so he just watched the show from the side.

"Twelfth brother, don't say too much." Mo Zemiao shook his head at him, fearing that his words would be heard by others and cause unnecessary trouble.

Mo Xuyao ​​smiled and said, "Although the Prime Minister's methods are cruel, he is not a person who gives warnings without reason. Ninth brother, you can rest assured."

Everyone was afraid of the prime minister, but he admired him very much.

The prime minister can govern the court with his literary talent and keep the country safe with his military skills. He is proficient in poetry, songs and prose, and the eighteen martial arts, let alone his talent.

Many years ago, the four countries united to bully Tianyuan. The generals who led the troops died one after another, and there were countless casualties. There was no one available in the court. At that time, Qu Honglin, who had just won the first place in civil and military examinations, took the initiative to ask for the order and went to the battlefield. In just three years, the enemy was repelled, and Tianyuan finally got a respite.

Later, when everything was in ruins, it was the Prime Minister's advice and help that enabled Tianyuan Kingdom to achieve its current glory.

It can be said that if it weren't for Qu Honglin, the Tianyuan Kingdom would have already become the meat in the mouths of the other four countries, and their father would have become the king of a fallen country. Therefore, even if the prime minister had many inappropriate things, their father would be able to tolerate them one by one.

He also wanted to go into battle and guard the border one day.

"Eighth Brother, that's not what I meant, but..." Mo Zemiao whispered a few words cautiously.

Mo Xuyao ​​smiled and nodded, "Ninth brother has always been considerate, it is my eighth brother who has not considered it carefully enough."

The three of them whispered a few more words and then said no more.

Qu Wenshi and Wen Suhua clenched their hands nervously, their hearts filled with panic.

When Qu Xinzhu saw his adoptive father coming, he swallowed nervously.

Rumor has it that his stepfather loved his first wife very much, and treated his only legitimate daughter as the apple of his eye. Now that she has taken her place, will he not change or punish her?

As soon as she thought of this, she dismissed the idea.

Although her stepfather valued her elder sister, she was still his biological daughter. Didn't the ancients value blood ties the most? She believed that her stepfather would be no exception. At most, she would be scolded by him. It wouldn't be like losing a piece of meat anyway.

Qu Honglin strode inside without even looking at anyone else. He fixed his gaze on his precious daughter, saying with a doting tone, "Father said long ago that I would come with you, but you refused. Now you have to clean up your mess."

"Actually..." She could solve it herself. Although she wasn't as simple and rough as her father, she wasn't much worse. Qu Qingyan didn't dare to say it out loud. She just smiled ingratiatingly, "Dad, you've done your work."

Her father was too worried about her. It seemed that she had caused too much worry in the past.

"Nothing is more important than you." Although Qu Honglin had made all the arrangements and his daughter was safe, he could not calm down when he thought about the many dirty things in the palace that might implicate his daughter. He simply put the matter aside and came here in person.

Sure enough, before he got close, he heard someone dared to make up stories about his daughter, and he immediately became furious.

He looked around and said sternly, "Whoever was talking about my daughter behind her back just now, please stand up and kowtow and admit your mistake immediately, otherwise you will know my methods!"

As soon as these words were spoken, a few people stood up in the crowd, trembling like sieves, and fell to the ground with their knees bent.

"Prime Minister, please have mercy!"

"Prime Minister, please spare our lives. We will never dare to do that again!"

"Please forgive us, Prime Minister. We are the ones who spoke too much. Please be magnanimous and forgive us this time."

These people were trembling all over, kowtowing and begging for mercy, some even slapped themselves in the face just to escape from the clutches of this evil spirit.

Qu Honglin's expression turned even colder as he looked at his beloved daughter beside him. "Since you have offended my beloved daughter, you should naturally ask for her forgiveness."

Those people immediately turned around and kowtowed to the beautiful woman to admit their mistakes.

Qu Qingyan waved his hand, "Get up, this is not your fault."

As she said this, she turned her head and looked at the panicked old woman, "Right, grandma!"

"You..." Although Qu Wenshi was noisy at ordinary times, she still had a little fear of Qu Honglin in her heart.

At this moment, seeing the cold-faced evil spirit looking at her, she nervously explained: "Honglin, mother didn't mean that. It's just that you spoiled your daughter too much. You actually bullied Zhu'er in front of everyone. Zhu'er is also your daughter. Mother was so angry that she did this..."

"My daughter, I am happy to spoil her!" Qu Honglin glanced at the trembling woman in white with a cold gaze, and said coldly, "I only have one daughter, my son Qingyan. If anyone dares to get involved with me again, I will not let them off easily!"

When everyone heard this, they finally realized how much Minister Qu disliked Qu Xinzhu, a concubine's daughter. It turned out that the rumor was true. In the eyes of Minister Qu, he only valued his legitimate daughter Qu Qingyan.

"Honglin, you can't do this. Xinzhu is the blood of our Qu family. How can you not recognize her?" Qu Wen was extremely anxious.

Qu Xinzhu is the only flesh and blood of their Qu family. How could he be wandering outside with his identity unknown?

In order to protect the family business, she had to steal the boy and replace him with a girl. She had already been unfair to her daughter. Now, she can't even protect her own granddaughter?

No! She must correct this mistake. Only Zhu'er is the true heir of their Qu family.

Wen Suhua also burst into tears, looking at the cruel man in pain.

After all these years, he is still as cruel as he was back then.

She reached out and touched her chest, only to feel the old scars become more painful.

That year, after Weng Xianghan died, he went mad. Not only did he kill all the people who served that woman, he also held a sword to kill her.

The sword hit him right in the chest, and blood immediately soaked his entire chest.

But he still didn't intend to let her go, and actually drew his sword and stabbed again. If she hadn't been stopped in time by a white light, she would have died at the hands of the man she loved.

Even though she was seriously injured, the baby in her belly was safe and sound. The fortune teller said that the baby in her belly was a person with great luck and the fate of a phoenix. All the people close to her were able to turn misfortune into good fortune and live in peace and smoothness. Therefore, she was able to give birth to the baby safely.

But more than ten years have passed, why doesn't he accept Zhu'er? In his heart, only the children born to Weng Xianghan are his bloodline?

"Grandma, I'm sure you haven't forgotten what happened back then, right?" Qu Qingyan exposed the old things without hiding anything, his tone was full of sarcasm and hatred, "Grandma knows exactly how Qu Xinzhu came to exist in this world. Her birth was not glorious, she was born into this world at the cost of my mother's life. How could you force me and my father to acknowledge her? In your eyes, is Qu Xinzhu, your granddaughter, more important than my father, your son? You are willing to do anything for her. Even if it means slandering the reputation of your granddaughter."

At the end of her speech, her eyes were red.

Even though Qu Honglin knew she was acting, he couldn't help but feel sorry for his daughter. He looked at her lovingly, "It's okay, your father is here."

"You... don't talk nonsense. What does your mother's death have to do with Zhu'er?" Qu Wen was still quibbling.

"Grandma, even at this point, you're still protecting Qu Xinzhu. I have to say, you're really a good grandmother to her." Qu Qingyan looked at her meaningfully.

Qu Honglin's face was as cold as ice, and his cold eyes seemed to be mixed with sharp blades. He glanced at the flustered old woman and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will send you back to the Qu family and you will never be allowed to leave."

"No, Honglin, I haven't seen Zhu'er get married yet, I will never go back." Qu Wenshi begged. She knew that once she went back, she would never have the chance to come out again. She hadn't sent Zhu'er off yet, so she couldn't leave.

Qu Honglin ignored her pleas and raised his hand. Several guards came over and took Qu Wen away.

Qu Qingyan looked at the masked woman.

Wen Suhua's body shook.

She looked at the handsome man reluctantly, then looked at her frightened daughter worriedly, and finally, when the guards were about to take action, she took the initiative to walk out.

Qu Xinzhu wanted to leave too, but everyone's eyes were on her, so she couldn't leave even if she wanted to. She was immediately panicked and at a loss.
