After thinking about it, MO Ruyue recalled that Gu Ying had gone out for a while after they came back last night. Although he came back soon after, he immediately went out again after breakfast. She guessed that he had most likely sent someone to spread these rumors.

He was helping her vent her anger.

After entering the Palace, Empress Dowager and Imperial Concubine Li asked if MO Ruyue was alright.

In fact, they had already asked someone to find out if she was fine. If she was really fine, they would not have let her enter the Palace now.

Initially, she thought that she was frightened and wanted her to rest at home. However, when she thought that she would leave the day after tomorrow, she was afraid that she would have fewer opportunities to see her, so she could not help but announce her to the Palace.

If it weren’t for the Eldest Prince, Imperial Concubine Li would have left the palace to see MO Ruyue herself.

“Don’t worry, this widow will definitely help you. That Liu family girl is too outrageous!”

“She simply doesn’t put this widow in her eyes!’

After all, MO Ruyue had been conferred the title of Princess Ming Yue, so she had to call her princess. Yet, she was still blatantly persecuting MO Ruyue.

Did some people think that she was old and no longer cared?

Then this time, she would let them see if she could still manage things!

Thus, when MO Ruyue was eating the soothing meal that Empress Dowager and the others had ordered the imperial kitchen to specially prepare for her in the afternoon, and when the dishes from the Liu family’s head were just placed on the table, a eunuch came to deliver the imperial edict.

It wasn’t the Emperor’s, nor was it Imperial Concubine Li’s, or Empress

Dowager’s.

The eunuch directly verbally reprimanded the Liu family for not teaching their daughter well. Empress Dowager specially gave the Liu family a book on

female virtues. She hoped that the Liu family would carefully teach the girl in the family before letting her out.

If Empress Dowager’s decree was released, it would be a big deal.

It seemed like a few words, but in reality, Empress Dowager had belittled this woman. Which family would dare to marry a woman from such a family?

That would destroy the third generation!

No one would use their own descendants to make such a joke. Even if they wanted to curry favor, they had to think about it carefully.

They would rather find a virtuous person from a small family with a low family background than marry someone without virtue.

As soon as the decree was issued, four families who were originally married to the Liu family had already come to cancel the marriage. This made the Liu family so angry that their noses were crooked.

However, Empress Dowager’s edict did not allow anyone to explain, let alone apologize. Everyone had all kinds of excuses, such as their son’s fate was not good recently and it was not suitable for a happy event. Otherwise, there would be a bloody disaster, or they had to prioritize their studies. Anyway, there were many high-sounding excuses.

The third and second rank officials of the Liu family had reprimanded their daughters in court for their poor upbringing. At the same time, they had the intention of begging for forgiveness. However, Ji Hong did not answer them at all and nodded along with their words.

“Since you feel that you’ve failed to educate your daughter, then educate her at home. Teach her well. Don’t let such a situation happen again. This kind of girl who doesn’t know the rules and has no virtue will harm others and herself.”

When the two ministers heard the Emperor’s words, they almost spat out a mouthful of blood and forcefully swallowed it.

These words were said by them. The Emperor was just going along with their words to comfort them, but was this the way to persuade them?

Ji Hong didn’t care. Didn’t they say so themselves?

For a moment, the Liu family became a big joke in the capital.

The Liu family had no choice but to give MO Ruyue something valuable as an apology. They thought that she would not accept it.

However, MO Ruyue didn’t refuse at all. She dared to accept as many gifts as she could.

The Liu family had paid a huge price.

“Did you get people to spread those rumors on the street?”

Gu Ying did not avoid MO Ruyue’s gaze. He only hummed and did not answer her directly, but it could be considered a side admission.

“You’ve ruined the reputation of the other girls of the Liu family.”

Actually, MO Ruyue did not pity the other innocent people of the Liu Family.

Since you did such a thing, you have to accept the consequences. No matter what a person did, there would be consequences.

She really couldn’t be blamed. She could only blame the Liu family’s Di daughter.

“What does their reputation have to do with me? What those people said is the truth. They didn’t lie.”

Their reputation was ruined, and they deserved it.

Gu Ying had deliberately let people spread the truth.

That Liu family’s Di daughter was brought to Shuntian Prefecture, and in the end, she would definitely be released with a lot of noise and a lot of rain.

The Liu family might even think of a way to hide this matter from the world.

He would not let them have their way and release this reputation in advance. Let’s see how they would accept it.

Otherwise, would his MO Ruyue be bullied for nothing?

Even those families who went to cancel the engagement had his hands.

Although he wasn’t a general and wasn’t in the capital, he still had connections.

If it wasn’t for the fact that there were too many people last night, he would have killed Lady Liu on the spot.

Even if he couldn’t kill her now, that scourge wouldn’t have an easy time in the future.

She was so vicious and didn’t know how to restrain herself. Whether she could live to 30 would depend on her own temperament.

The eldest daughter of the Liu family, who had been bailed out by the Liu family the next day, was currently having a high fever and was occasionally unconscious.

When she woke up, she thought about what had happened last night. Although her parents did not scold her, she knew that her reputation was ruined and that she might have implicated her family. She was so angry that her heart ached.

She was so angry that her heart hurt and her face turned pale. She almost couldn’t breathe and even fainted twice.

The Liu family invited a doctor to see her again. The doctor only said that after she fell into the water, she did not change her clothes in time and got a cold.

In fact, only the eldest daughter of the Liu family knew that her heart was really aching. It was not because she was angry.

However, after hiring a few doctors, they all said that there was nothing wrong with her and asked her to calm down and take good care of herself.

However, this illness accompanied her for the rest of her limited life. The Liu family did not know the truth until her death.

MO Ruyue did not know about this. She was in a very good mood at the moment. She sat in the carriage and lifted the side curtain. She looked at the beautiful scenery outside, and her mood was lifted by the gentle breeze.

Today, they finally returned home. Because they had brought a lot of things, and there were many more people, it was not easy to ride horses. They all took carriages.

Even so, they would be home in about three days.

Gu Ying, who was riding beside the palanquin, would occasionally glance at the smiling MO Ruyue from the corner of his eyes. His mood soared as well.

He didn’t know when it started, but his mood would change according to this woman’s mood.

MO Ruyue couldn’t wait to grow wings and fly home.

Gu Ying knew that MO Ruyue was anxious, so he tried his best to let the group leave as quickly as possible. After leaving the capital, he looked back and thought that the Liu Family must be in chaos now.

Hmph!

He bullied MO Ruyue and thought that he was a pushover.

He didn’t even need to verify it to know that the Liu family wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing when they got home. You know how to play dirty tricks, so do I. Let’s see who’s one step ahead!

The Liu family and MO Ruyue were mortal enemies. It was impossible for them to just watch her return to West River Village safely.

He couldn’t do anything to her in the capital, but could he not do anything to her after leaving the capital?

Just as the Liu Family was about to send someone to stop MO Ruyue, the second courtyard of the Liu family caught fire.

There was really a fire, and the place where the fire happened was the storeroom.

“Water! Water! Hurry up and put out the fire!”

All the servants of the Liu family took something that could scoop water to water the fire. After a long time, the fire was put out, but the warehouse was burnt black and nothing was left.

“Heavens!”

The old men and women of the Liu family fainted.

Most of the important savings of the Liu family were in there..
