Chapter 876 The Princess is Furious!
The Sun family was naturally overjoyed when Duanmu Xing and Sun Ruomei got engaged.
Meanwhile, Xu was confined to her home by the Sun family, and Sun Ruomei's biological father's position was demoted instead of promoted.
As for why, anyone with eyes can see it.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xin Nuan simply smiled faintly. She had not yet ordered anyone to suppress the Sun family, so it seemed that it was Ming Wang who was exerting his influence in secret.
It seems that the Ming Prince's Mansion is quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
Wang Xinyan brought her son to the capital and moved directly into the palace. Several days later, she returned to her parents' home.
When Madam Sun learned that Wang Xinyan had returned to the capital, she was naturally overjoyed and hoped that one day her daughter could also return to the capital to talk to her.
Duanmu Xing returned to the capital, and Mu Qingxuan naturally returned with him.
However, this time, Mu Qingxuan is engaged to Princess Duanmu Qing, making him a generation older than Duanmu Xing in terms of seniority.
Everything seemed to be going perfectly smoothly.
However, an unexpected event occurred on this day.
The cause was originally quite simple: Duanmu Qing accepted Mu Qingxuan's invitation and the two went to admire the flowers outside the city. However, on their way back, they were attacked by assassins.
Although neither of them was injured, Duanmu Qing was kidnapped by the thieves and held captive for nearly fifteen minutes.
When they found Duanmu Qing, her hair was disheveled and her clothes were somewhat messy, but thankfully, she should not have been violated.
This was originally a perfectly normal thing, but somehow, someone deliberately started spreading rumors in the capital that Duanmu Qing had been violated by a villain and had already lost her chastity.
This matter immediately caused a huge uproar in the capital.
The attack on Duanmu Qing was originally a highly secretive matter. Mu Qingxuan was especially careful in handling the matter, fearing that it would further tarnish her reputation. Unexpectedly, it was still discovered by someone with ulterior motives.
Or perhaps, this attack was originally a trap deliberately set by the person spreading the rumors.
Upon learning of this, Prince Su flew into a rage and, without even asking what had happened, slapped Duanmu Qing across the face. This act completely broke Duanmu Qing's heart.
That night, Duanmu Qing attempted suicide by hanging herself, but fortunately, a nanny discovered her in time and saved her.
However, someone leaked the story, saying that Duanmu Qing knew she had no face to live in the world, so she committed suicide!
Mu Xin Nuan naturally did not believe such a statement.
Upon learning this, Mu Qingxuan was naturally furious and went to visit Prince Su's residence without saying a word.
Seeing her daughter's reputation so damaged, yet Mu Qingxuan remained steadfastly by her side, Princess Su was naturally quite gratified.
Mu Qingxuan's travels over the years were certainly not fake.
“Mother-in-law, how could such a secret matter be revealed to outsiders? I only learned of Qing’er’s suicide the next day, yet the rumors had already spread throughout the capital by morning. This shows that there is a traitor within the household.”
Princess Su had completely calmed down by now, and snorted coldly, "If I find out which villains are behind this, I will definitely not let them off the hook."
"Mother-in-law, I see that Qing'er is a bit emotionally unstable. May I stay a little longer and try to comfort her?"
"Well, you are interested."
"I wouldn't dare! The incident happened because I invited her out. Don't worry, Mother-in-law, Qing'er wasn't violated. When I rescued her, her clothes were a little disheveled, but perfectly intact."
Seeing Mu Qingxuan's somewhat anxious appearance, Princess Su felt a mix of emotions.
Duanmu Qing's biological father did not believe in his daughter's innocence, but her fiancé, whom she had only met a few times, repeatedly assured her that she was innocent.
How can there be such a big difference?
After leaving Duanmu Qing's courtyard, Princess Su coldly ordered, "Investigate immediately. See if there's been any activity in Consort Zhuang's and Consort Su's courtyards these past few days."
"Yes, princess."
The fact that Princess Consort Su was able to maintain her position as Princess Consort despite Prince Su's lecherous nature is not solely due to the influence of her maternal family.
Even if she was mentally challenged back then, after spending so many years with Prince Su, she naturally saw through many things long ago.
"Where is the Prince?" Princess Su asked as she reached the door of the study.
"Your Highness, the Prince is inside."
"Yes, go and inform him that I have urgent business to attend to and cannot be delayed."
"Yes, princess."
Before long, the princess saw a maid with a flushed face come out of the study, and her walking posture was a little strange.
It was as if an unnamed fire was burning in Princess Su's chest, and she truly had nowhere to vent it!
With a single glance from the Princess Consort, the old nanny behind her immediately understood, retreated, and hurriedly followed with a few others.
"What business do you have with me?"
Prince Su looked impatient.
Princess Su had calmed down considerably by now and said sternly, "Your Highness, the rumors circulating outside are all unfounded. Not only can I prove this, but Young Master Mu's arrival just now also directly proved this point."
Prince Su frowned. "So what?"
"Your Highness, Qing'er wanted to commit suicide because you slapped her. You must know that, right?"
Prince Su's face darkened. "Insolence! Don't think that just because you're a princess, you can speak to me in such a tone."
"Your Highness, if it weren't necessary, do you think I would still want to come see you?"
This disdainful tone immediately made Prince Su feel extremely uncomfortable.
He's a man; he can despise women, but women can also be willing to die for him, and that, ironically, gives him a strange sense of pleasure.
But what am I hearing now?
I was actually rejected by a woman?
And why is it so blatantly disdainful?
"Your Highness, do you know what you're saying?"
Princess Consort Su sneered and sat down to the side. "Your Highness, shall I remind you that Qing'er and Mu Qingxuan's marriage was bestowed by the Empress Dowager? Moreover, Mu Qingxuan is the current Empress's younger brother and someone the Emperor values highly. Do you think this matter is really that simple?"
Prince Su's expression changed several times. He did have some suspicions about what was going on, but he had no evidence to back it up.
Seeing his somewhat embarrassed appearance, Princess Su really wanted to kick him a couple of times.
His own daughter was so slandered, yet he still had the mind to have an affair with that girl. He really has no shame!
