”Jin'er …” Lu Mo Ting pulled on Lu Jin Nian's sleeve, and Lu Jin Nian looked back and smiled, ”Dad, don't worry, as a citizen of Ming Xuan, daughter has the obligation and responsibility to appease and tolerate the Hunchback's unreasonable behavior, not to mention that uncle is here too.”

Lu Mo Ting looked at his younger brother, Lu Mo Sheng, before putting his hand down.

Anubis's eyes widened. They were making a ruckus!

Anubis' appearance of being humiliated greatly pleased the emissary of Rui Xi. Murong Tan couldn't hide her ”puchi” smile. Anubis gave her a fierce glare, then left with the noble father-in-law and a few lords.

The palace banquet was somewhat deserted. The crown prince, Xiao Yi, straightened his expression and said a few words of pleasantries before getting the dancers to dance and liven up the atmosphere. However, not many people could actually enjoy a performance like this.

Shen Xiangtai's face was solemn. Although this judge from the Ministry of Justice had this kind of expression, the people sitting next to him could clearly feel that the pressure was so low that it could practically be described as cold.

Prime Minister Pei was much better off, but his taut lips showed that he was not feeling easy at all. He stroked his beard and called Pei Yu over, ”I wonder how your aunt is doing …”

Even an accident or coincidence would have had an effect on the Huns, who died in the chamber of Consort Wen.

”Forget it, it's useless to be nervous now. We can only wait until the palace banquet is over before we try to find out more information. However, why does the Huns insist on Miss Lu following them …?” Between the Lu family and the Huns, there is not only national hatred, there is also family hatred. ”

Prime Minister Pei spoke in a low voice, ”Yu'er, did you say that Miss Lu was the one who suggested the solution to Rui Xi's problem?”

”Yes, your son is ashamed.” Pei Yu said, but he was not jealous. He praised, ”Father saw it too. Miss Lu's reaction is quick, neither humble nor arrogant. She's always been defending our Mingxuan's interests …”

Prime Minister Pei glanced at his son, then looked at Lu Mo Ting and snorted, ”This old man has a good daughter.”

”...”

Following the noble and benevolent eunuch, the group quickly entered the harem area. However, before they reached Chunyue Hall, they heard a woman crying mixed with persuasion. The noble man stopped and looked over with a frown.

Su Xing Yuan said, ”Mo Sheng, your voice sounds a little...”

”The person persuading is my wife. The one crying is probably Mrs. Du.”

Everyone knew about the matter of Assistant Minister Du's child running away and losing him, but compared to the murder of the Huns, it was not that important. The matter of the child running away from the family was not that important, so everyone knew about the matter of Assistant Minister Du's child running away.

Su Xing Yuan and Lu Mo Sheng looked at each other, and the latter immediately said, ”Sir, this lowly official will go take a look first. Your excellency, please follow this eunuch to His Majesty first.”

”There's no need. What happened in the harem is not a small matter. The lords and the Wu family should go and take a look.” With the noble and benevolent father-in-law leading the way, the group found Lady Du.

In the lotus pond surrounded by the white jade railings, there was a group of palace maids and eunuchs. There was also a man dressed in the robes of a hospital, Du Menglin was supporting a Madame Du who was on the verge of fainting from crying, and there was a wet little child's corpse on the ground.
