The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1511

Chapter 1511: 735 Long Aotian! (Second update)_2

Su Yuan nodded. "Steward Liu spoke with me on the way here. What exactly is going on? Li Pin made a mistake, but what does that have to do with Lady Wan?"

Mu Qingchen learned about it from Mu Chuan, who explained in even greater detail than the steward. The steward had to choose his words carefully with Su Yuan—there are always some things that can’t be said—but Mu Chuan spilled the beans without reservation.

He directly said it was a scheme concocted by the Han Family. And his aunt, too, was a bit too carried away. It’s not like the Mu Family gives her so much silver every year just for her to spend it carelessly without a thought.

Just for Li Pin’s father’s illness, she gave out three thousand taels. Does she even realize how hard it is to earn that much silver?

He has two aunts, but to be honest, the younger aunt is too brainless. If the aunt who entered the palace back then was the elder one, the position of Crown Prince might already be within grasp.

The elder aunt is Mu Qingchen’s mother.

"I always knew she would eventually get herself into trouble. In fact, if it wasn’t for the kind shielding by Consort Xian over these years, she would have gotten into who knows how many incidents," he said.

Elder Master Mu had Mu Tao recount the entire incident from beginning to end, and it was largely deduced to be the doing of Consort Han.

Consort Han had been in control of the Imperial Harem for many years; how could she not know about the clandestine relationship between the palace superintendent and the palace maid? But she turned a blind eye, just so it could serve as a leverage that she could exploit at any time.

Su Yuan’s voice was heavy with censure. "This is going too far. If they want to depose the Princess, then just do it; why drag Lady Wan into the waters as well? Do they want to take this chance to make His Majesty bear ill will towards the Mu Family?"

The tangled web of intrigue linking the Imperial Harem and the imperial court can never be completely separated.

If Lady Wan gets into trouble, could the Mu Family expect to fare any better?

With a cold voice, Elder Master Mu said, "Hmph, as if the Han Family has a bigger appetite than the Mu Family? To me, it seems inevitable that they will set their sights on the Wang and Su families one day!"

Su Yuan felt the name sounded vaguely familiar. "He is—" _{freёweɓnovel.com}
