”I understand what the Prime Minister means, but this matter concerns a lady's innocence and reputation. How can it end like this?”

Mu Yizi didn't want to play a silly game with the prime minister and Ji Wei, so she simply expressed her stance.

She would absolutely not back down on this matter.

Whether it was for himself, or for Liang Jingfeng, or for Liang Jingqing.

Even if she was at odds with Liang Jingfeng, she could not allow this to happen in front of her eyes.

If all the officials in the imperial government relied on their power and influence to bully others, then was there still a law within this country?

”General Mu, I hope you know what it means to be a wise man when the time comes!” The Prime Minister's face was somewhat sullen, his tone becoming unfriendly as well.

Mu Yizi knew that if she were to offend the Prime Minister just like that, there would be no good outcome for her in the future.

Even if there was Lu Xiang and His Majesty's protection in the court, the Prime Minister could not help picking a fight with them.

”Prime Minister, those who know their place may not necessarily be elites, but they may also be the fence-sitters. The wind blows that way, and the little man falls that way! ” As she spoke, Mu Youzi glanced at Ji Wei, who had been silent this entire time.

It wasn't that she didn't know who Ji Wei was. Just by casually asking around the streets, she was able to tell that he had previously been nothing more than an aide under her father's command.

If it wasn't for his father wanting him to be recommended by the emperor, how could he have achieved his current position?

Ever since Mu Feng had left the capital with Mu Youzi, he had gone under the tutelage of the Prime Minister.

It was probably because he didn't know that he was Mu Feng's daughter. Otherwise, how would he feel?

Now that his benefactor's daughter had returned, not only did he not care for her anymore, he even went against her. If word of this got out, he, Ji Wei, who was an ungrateful and vile character, would probably be carried away for the rest of his life.

The Prime Minister glanced at Ji Wei by his side. It wasn't that he didn't understand Mu Yizi's meaning.

But after all these years, Ji Wei had always been loyal to him. He believed that Ji Wei deeply knew who would be the one to allow him to firmly sit in his position.

”General Mu doesn't want to give in?” The Prime Minister said with a strange tone, looking at Mu Yizi with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

But why would Mu Yiran be afraid? He was just a mere Prime Minister, so what if he had some solid foundation in the palace over the years? To be able to personally send his only son into that dangerous harem, it was inevitable that he wouldn't be able to sell himself out for other benefits in the future.

Such a person definitely could not be followed!

”Prime Minister, I still have matters to attend to, if Prime Minister has nothing else, please return!” Mu Yizi no longer had the interest to continue arguing with him, and even more so did not have the patience to accompany him in making all those twists and turns.

He simply ordered and directly sent off the guests to express his intention.

The Prime Minister had never been humiliated by a girl before, and this time, he actually ended up getting a piece of cake for him.

He was the dignified prime minister of the imperial court, yet he personally came to win her over and yet she rejected him. He really doesn't know how to appreciate favors! Wasn't this obviously going against him?

He angrily stood up, flicked his sleeves, and the Prime Minister angrily left with Ji Wei.

Looking at their furious backs, Mu Yurou's heart felt refreshed.

So what if it was the Prime Minister? A prime minister who had no people or country in his heart was no different from the corrupt official.
