The Emperor had no impression of Mu Zhong Ping’s family at all, and he picked up the information and looked through it.

After reading the information, he couldn’t help but ask one more question.

Wu Dong Ming had already prepared the answer, “When I interrogated the servants of the Mu family, I learned that the second room was severely suppressed, and their life was difficult.”

“They could not even go out without the permission of Old Lady Mu. All the three sons in the family are mediocre, but I think Miss Third Mu is smart and clever.”

Out of curiosity, Wu Dong Ming deliberately inquired about the second son’s family.

Hearing this, the Emperor shook his head slightly, “Old lady Mu really has no vision and heart, it’s a pity that such a smart son is wasted.”

In his opinion, Mu Wan Qing was just a girl raised in a boudoir, how could she really understand this? 

There was only one possibility, her father must have a deep sense of righteousness and loyalty so that the child would become so sensible.

Thinking about it this way, he had a pretty good impression of the second son of the Mu family.

This is such a beautiful misunderstanding.

“What about Miss Mu?”

Wu Dong Ming smiled slightly and said, “Miss Mu is more introverted.”

One was calm and prepared for a rainy day, and the other was pretending to threaten death.

That’s right, Mu Jin Yao’s method couldn’t hide from his eyes, but he didn’t say anything.

At this moment, a voice came from outside, “Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, and the third prince ask to see you.”

Hearing this, Wu Dong Ming’s scalp was numb, and he secretly screamed that it was not good.

Wu Dong Ming preemptively asked, “Your Majesty, what should I do with the betrothal gift from the Marquis Mansion?”

Without any hesitation, the emperor said, “Confiscate.”

“Yes.” Wu Dong Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Fortunately, he withstood the pressure and did not return the betrothal gift to Marquis Mansion, which was thankfully in line with the emperor’s wishes.

The Emperor pondered for a while, and said, “Investigate this case as soon as possible, don’t delay.”

“Yes.”

Wu Dong Ming waited for a while, and seeing that the emperor did not speak again, he retired.

When he went out the door, Wu Dong Ming saw the imperial concubine and the third prince, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, “I have seen the imperial concubine and the third prince.”

The imperial concubine looked noble, she didn’t even bother to look at him.

The third prince was young and vigorous, so he couldn’t bear his temper, and said, “Mr. Wu, I heard that you just raided the residence of the Minister of the Household?”

The third prince was spoiled as a little bully with extraordinarily pampered.

Wu Dong Ming had a headache when he saw this little ancestor, he was an unreasonable kid, but the emperor just liked him.

He directly answered, “According to the emperor’s orders.”

Hearing this, the third prince dissatisfiedly questioned, “The Marquis mansion wants to take back the betrothal, why don’t you allow it? Isn’t this deliberately hitting the mother’s dignity?”

Wu Dong Ming didn’t respect Marquis’s mansion, it meant he didn’t respect him and his concubine mother.

This ignorant dog minion.

Wu Dong Ming quickly bowed his hands and with a respectful face he said, “Don’t dare, this is the emperor’s will.”

The implication was that if you are dissatisfied with the decision, go to the emperor to make trouble.

Actually, he knew that the third prince was just taking advantage of the issue, who made him not accept the invitation of the third prince?

The third prince didn’t even think about it, what would the emperor think when he found out that the third prince was in a hurry to recruit forces to suppress the crown prince?

Wu Dong Ming lowered his eyes, how could someone from the royal family be so stupid? 

He didn’t know how many masks were on the faces of these people.

Willful? Coddled? Outrageous? Probably all are just masks.

However, their Wu family was the emperor’s direct line and only loyal to the emperor.

When they stand in between, they will die.

The imperial concubine did not expect to see the third prince here, her eyes were slightly heavy.

The third prince pursed his lips, saluted with a slight smile on his face, and kept talking.

“The sons of the marquis mansion daily consume a lot of money and have long been unable to make ends meet. Father, for the sake of Marquis mansion loyalty, you should return this betrothal gift.”

“The Marquis mansion will definitely be grateful…”

He talked for a long time, but he didn’t get a reply from the father emperor.
