C149 (2/2)
If she were to give in so easily, it wouldn't be leaving her first wife status to the side. However, if she didn't care about the reputation of the Jade Dragon Temple and forced herself to stay in this room, wouldn't that ruin the prestige of the imperial family?
Su Mu didn't know what to do, so she could only stare blankly at the scene.
At this moment, Zhuo Qingfeng stood up and said to Fang Xun, ”Master, it was my daughter's idea to live in this room. Now, since you don't agree, I won't say any more.
This Lord Fang was still unwilling to get up. Presumably, he still wanted to hear Su Mu's personal guarantee.
Su Mu let out a sigh and walked in front of him, ”Master, I was in too much of a hurry just now. Don't worry, I'll be staying in another room!”
After saying that, Su Mu didn't even need to personally help her. This Lord Fang Yin stood up, and the monks behind him finally dared to raise their heads.
As Su Mu looked at these people, he suddenly felt fear in his heart. Then, he thought about that poor woman in the secret passage just now. Could it be that the so-called outsider in Jade Dragon Temple didn't have any mercy at all? In their hearts, they were only interested in benefits?
Su Mu broke out in a cold sweat. A kind of ominous feeling made her uneasy. She waved her hand and turned around without saying anything.
Zhuo Qingfeng understood Su Mu's intentions and stood up, then said to them, ”All of you can leave for the time being. As for the theft of the jade pendant, my Empress will report it to the Kaifeng Mansion, so they will most likely deal with it in the most fair way. Does any of you Masters still not believe in the ability of the government?”
This was originally the smallest case of theft. If it was left to the government, although the result wouldn't be very good, the little monk's life could still be saved.
The young monk knew that this was already the best result he could do and could only kneel there to kowtow.
After the others left, Su Mu returned to her own room. On the way back, Su Mu felt really confused. Everything that happened in Jade Dragon Temple was too strange, and it happened one after the other. She herself was confused!
Just as Su Mu walked to the door of the room, she saw an old acquaintance. It was little An Zi, who was sitting next to Lin Yi in the palace.
Seeing that Su Mu had returned, the young woman hurriedly bowed and said, ”Greetings to Imperial Concubine Hui. This young man pays his respects to you!”
Su Mu looked at him, then looked at the imperial edict held in his hand. She knew that Lin Yi must have sent an imperial edict over, but he was still extremely respectful to her. This meant that the contents of the imperial edict were beneficial to her.
Su Mu pulled out a smile and said to Little An, ”Eunuch An, please get up quickly. It's a long way to go, why don't you come in temporarily and have a drink?”
