Seeing Mo Xuan remain silent, Mu Yizi sneered. Holding the sword in her hand, she looked at Mo Xuan and said, ”Since Young Master Mo doesn't want to speak, I'll speak up for you.”

”I wonder if you still remember Liang Jing Feng, the Liang Family's young miss?” Mu Yizi lifted her sword and walked step by step towards Mo Xuan.

Mo Xuan stared at the treasured sword that was getting closer and closer to him. He couldn't retreat a single step. He could only watch in horror as Mu Yizi approached him, trembling all over.

Ji Wei immediately stood up and pointed at Mu Yurou in anger. ”General Mu, my nephew is already in such a state. Why are you still coming to intimidate him?”

Mu Yizi stopped and turned to Ji Wei, ”Threatening? General Ji's nephew forcefully took over the daughter of a commoner, sullying the innocence of a young lady. ”Now that the young lady is pregnant, I would like to ask if General Ji has just said that the Son of Heaven committed the crime together with the commoners and that the officials will allow their relatives to bully men and women to be punished for their crimes.”

Being choked by Mu Yizi's words, Ji Wei shut his mouth and could only angrily stare at her.

”If I were to report this to His Majesty, would His Majesty first blame me for bullying your nephew, or would it be a crime of conniving in the murder of a relative of General Ji's?”

Ji Wei was so shocked that he sat back down, a few drops of cold sweat falling from his forehead.

If this matter were to be found out by His Majesty, His Majesty, who loved the people like he was his son, would surely strip him of his official clothes.

Earlier, the wargod General Mu Feng, who had been out on the battlefield in the Jin Li Kingdom, was extremely famous. He was just a deputy general following beside him.

If it wasn't for Mu Feng, he wouldn't have been able to achieve the rank of fourth rank general. However, His Majesty was only thinking of Mu Feng's achievements. It was fortunate that Mu Feng had mysteriously disappeared and that he had sided with the Prime Minister's group. Otherwise, he would have been fired long ago.

Now that his nephew had committed such a crime, Mo Xuan would surely be blamed for it as his uncle.

”She …” She was a geisha with a board on the top floor of a mirror. She was there to entertain men. ”What right do you have to say that I am forcibly taking this woman?” Mo Xuan stammered his retort, but his tone was full of guilt.

Mu Yizi glanced at him, placed the sword on his neck, and said coldly, ”You said it already. She is just a registered geisha. For there to be a person who is willing to sacrifice themselves, that requires my consent. Let me ask you this, does Liang Jingfeng have the free will to give himself to you? ”

A few words caused Mo Xuan to be at a loss of how to refute. This matter was indeed a result of him having drunk too much.

Just by drinking a bit of wine, he found her extremely charming. Using his strength as a man, he had forcefully taken her. But who would have thought that she would become pregnant just like that?

”General Ji, are you still going to protect your nephew?” Mu Yizi did not move the treasured sword in her hand, but looked at Ji Wei, who was silent at the side.

At this point, she didn't believe that Ji Wei would give up his position as a fourth rank official for her nephew.

Ji Wei came back to his senses with a fawning smile on his face.

”General Mu, we … If you have something to say, just say it. ”
