The Doctor's Concubine: Don't mess with the evil princess

Chapter 101 Self-certification of identity

"Poisoned?" Mu Xun was shocked, his eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "You mean, that audacious servant poisoned you?"

"How is this possible?" Jiang raised her voice with a somewhat exaggerated tremor, as if it was completely beyond her expectations.

However, her slightly twitching mouth and flickering eyes revealed her inner panic and guilt.

Mu Lanfeng raised his head and glanced at the guilty Jiang, but when his eyes met, Jiang turned his gaze to the side.

She sneered and said, "Whether it was Steward Wang, Lan Feng doesn't know! My life was hanging by a thread at the time, and my master went up the mountain to collect herbs and accidentally found me. He took me back and detoxified me, so I was lucky enough to survive!"

“Speaking of which, I have to thank Manager Wang for showing mercy and taking care of the matter when burying the soil. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to stand here and talk today!”

Jiang had secretly cursed Wang Wei hundreds of times in her heart, saying that he was always causing trouble but could not accomplish anything!

He did so many bad things and still left so many evidences behind!

"Master? Why have I never heard you mention him?" Mu Xun asked puzzledly.

"Father, you haven't asked. Besides, Master doesn't allow us to tell you. He travels all over the world and his whereabouts are unpredictable!" Mu Lanfeng said expressionlessly.

"Don't talk about traveling around the world. If you can't prove yourself, just find a reason to travel around the world. Who can't do that?" Mu Baiying said relentlessly.

Mu Lanfeng had an indifferent expression on his face as he stared at Mu Baiying intently. There was an unfathomable coldness in his eyes, and Mu Baiying couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

"Big sister, do you think I need to make up an excuse?" Mu Lanfeng asked back.

Mu Baiying felt guilty and angry. "I'm asking you now, stop making trouble. You can't prove your identity, so you must be a fake!"

Mu Lanfeng looked sad, with tears in his eyes, "Father, do you also doubt Lanfeng?"

Mu Xun's expression remained calm, "Father would like to hear what you have to say!"

Mu Lanfeng pretended to have made a big decision, "Okay, father, do you still remember the jar of 'Daughter's Red Wine' that we buried together when Lanfeng was five years old? It was buried by father for Lanfeng himself. You said, I will dig it out and drink it on the day I get married!" She paused and pretended to be disappointed, "It seems that I won't be able to wait until that time!"

Mu Xun took a deep breath and his eyes became a little moist. He was not a heartless person. He could remember vividly the scenes that Mu Lanfeng described.

He always felt guilty towards the An family!

No, he should be ashamed. For the sake of his future, he chose to sacrifice his biological mother, An.

He didn't know how to face Mu Lanfeng. When he saw her, he thought of An's death, which made him feel ashamed.

It would be best if Mu Lanfeng no longer appeared in front of him, so that he would not think of An so often.

Both Jiang's mother and daughter looked at Mu Xun, their eyes seemed to be saying, is there such a thing?

Mu Xun stroked his beard, pretended to be calm, and coughed, "That's true! Do you know where it is buried?"

Mu Lanfeng said, "Of course I know. It seems there is no need to wait for that day. I will go dig it out now!"

After saying that, without waiting for Mu Xun to react, he took the two servants and went towards the old pear tree in the yard.

Mu Xun hurried over and saw Mu Lanfeng directing the servants to clear the snow under the old pear tree.

"Stop!" He hurriedly shouted to stop them. The two servants stopped what they were doing and looked at each other.

"Lan Feng, we won't dig anymore. I believe in you! This matter ends here. You have to understand my difficulties!" Mu Xun burst into tears and almost begged.

"Father, why are you like this? It's just a jar of wine. You also know that it's not me who wants to dig it out, but someone else wants me to dig it out. If I don't dig it out, how can I explain? How are you going to explain to mother? Do you keep your word in this family?" Mu Lanfeng frowned, looking helpless.

"As the head of the family, my words must be followed! Be good, and we won't dig anymore!" Mu Xun coaxed Mu Lanfeng like a child.

Mu Lanfeng pretended to compromise, "Okay then! Since my father keeps his word, I won't dig it!"

Having said that, he brushed the snow off his hands and turned to go to the main hall.

At this time, the housekeeper Mu Zhong came over here, came to Mu Xun, and whispered: "Sir, the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace to discuss an urgent matter!"

Mu Xun's face changed slightly, and he ordered Mu Zhong: "Go and prepare the carriage first, I'll change my clothes and come back!"

The incident happened suddenly and he didn't dare to delay, which also gave him a chance to escape!

He strode into the main hall, followed closely by Mu Lanfeng. Jiang's mother and daughter were still waiting to see the show.

"Today's matter ends here, there is no need to say more! The emperor has urgently summoned me, and I must go to the palace. Madam, please pack up!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Jiang's mother and daughter didn't know what was going on and were about to ask, but Mu Xun didn't give her a chance.

"Fifth sister is really good at talking. I don't know what she said to father to make her change her mind! I, your sister, am impressed by you!" Mu Baiying sneered unhappily.

"I still like this unconvinced look of elder sister. It's so real! Aren't you tired of pretending like that?" Mu Lanfeng teased with a half-smile.

Mu Baiying's eyes widened in anger, but she couldn't get angry. She could only sneer in a sarcasm: "Sister, you're still talking about me? Aren't you the same? Same here!"

Mu Lanfeng smiled slightly and said calmly: "I am different from my elder sister. I don't need to pretend to be dignified and noble. I can get angry whenever I want. I am not the face of the Mu family! But it's hard for you, elder sister, to keep pretending..."

Seeing that Mu Baiying was at a disadvantage, how could Jiang swallow this breath? She hurriedly chimed in, "What a clever talker! The fifth girl I know is not as eloquent as you."

"Then, has mother realized what has happened today? People will change. Only a fool would allow himself to be bullied all the time! I, Mu Lanfeng, am not that fool!"

"Mu Lanfeng, how dare you be rude to your mother?" Mu Baiying's face turned red with anger.

"She is your mother, not mine, Mu Lanfeng's. I recognize her as my legal mother, so she is the real mother. If I don't recognize her, what is she?" Mu Lanfeng replied expressionlessly.

"You little bitch, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you really think no one can control you?" Jiang's face turned pale, veins bulged on her forehead, and she growled through gritted teeth.

Mu Lanfeng snorted coldly, looking directly at Jiang, "Do you dare? I've already said that mother is the elder, so please be more tolerant of your ignorant daughter like me. Since the day I returned to the Mu Mansion, you have been targeting me. I have been tolerant everywhere, but you still treat me like a soft persimmon!"

Jiang was so angry that she rolled her eyes. Why did she still give in? Was she a pushover? She had fought with her so many times, but she had never won? Who could she go to for justice?

"Fifth sister, please say less. Look how angry mother is. Was I wrong? I apologize to you!" Seeing that she could not win the argument, Mu Baiying immediately pretended to be weak.

"Sister, please stop saying that. I can't stand it! What did you do wrong?"
