Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 165 Lifting the Suspension

As soon as Mu Jinrong touched his sister's arm, she reflexively slapped her hand, and the sound was very loud in the quiet study.

Mu Wenyu frowned and turned back to give Lianxue a cold look. Mu Lianxue seemed to come to her senses and apologized to her brother.

She seemed to be frightened, lowered her head, and didn't even look at the poetry collection on the table.

Mu Tangxi and his three brothers were watching with great interest. It seemed as if the enemy had foolishly stepped into the river without them having to do anything themselves.

But this doesn't mean they will let them go today!

Mu Wenyu would ask questions frequently during lectures to make sure that the students were listening.

And how many of the questions could Mu Jinrong answer on his first day of class?

Soon, the father's first question was directed to the eldest brother, as if he wanted the eldest brother to set an example for Mu Jinrong.

The eldest brother also answered perfectly.

The second question was given to Mu Tangxi in order to set an example for Mu Lianxue. She also answered it. She was not as perfect as her elder brother, but not that bad either.

After all, we can't let big brother lose face, because this home court belongs to big brother and his family.

She just had to watch from the side.

My father did not ask his second and third brothers the third question, but asked Mu Jinrong directly.

His answer was a bit halting and he didn't get to the point, but his logic was coherent.

Mu Jinfeng and his two younger brothers turned around and pretended to see how he would answer, but in fact they were laughing at Mu Jinrong where their father couldn't see.

They only needed to look Mu Jinrong up and down and then curl their lips in disdain.

The three of them followed the plan they had discussed before and mocked Mu Jinrong in unison.

Three people means three times the damage!

At least that’s what Mu Tangxi thought, and Mu Jinrong’s expression clearly showed that he was irritated.

His face twisted unconsciously and he looked at his eldest brother and the other three with disgust.

It’s a pity that Mu Lianxue had kept her head down from the beginning. Even when her father started the lecture, she didn’t raise her head, so she didn’t see the scene of her brother being bullied.

This caused his father to look at Mu Lianxue frequently. He probably had never seen someone who was so unstudious.

As soon as Mu Wenyu looked up, he saw Mu Jinrong's ferocious face and the other children who were reading books quietly with their heads down.

Mu Wenyu:?

"Jinrong, what are you thinking about? Pay attention!" he scolded.

Unexpectedly, after being called, Mu Jinrong's face became even uglier.

Mu Wenyu was very confused. Jinrong and Lianxue were very normal on weekdays, so why did they become like this when they came to the study?

Don’t they like reading?

At this moment, Mu Wenyu felt a little dissatisfied with the child he had with Xue Niang.

His child doesn't like to study? Will it be known to everyone and made fun of?

But Mu Wenyu decided to give Jinrong another chance, so he asked Lianxue the next question.

He did not expect Lianxue to answer these questions, but only asked her to express her thoughts on the poem.

Unexpectedly, Lianxue stood up in a daze and couldn't say a word. She just looked at him with a blank look.

In fact, Mu Lianxue regretted that she didn't hear what her father asked just now, otherwise, with the years of education she had received, it would not be a problem for her to make up a few words.

But she didn't dare to ask what her father had just asked.

At that moment, Mu Wenyu felt that he almost couldn't control his expression.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and kept comforting himself that it was the first time for Jinrong and Lianxue to come to the study, so it was normal to be a little shy and nervous.

Mu Jinfeng didn't expect that Mu Lianxue would collapse before they could even make a move.

He could vaguely sense that his father was suppressing his emotions!

This made Mu Jinfeng subconsciously restrain his expression, even though he was still wearing a mask on his face and most people could not detect his emotions.

But he thought his father could.

There was a glimmer of fear in his eyes, a fear of his father, a fear that he had not known when planted in his heart.

Mu Tangxi glanced at Mu Lianxue quickly. It turned out that the existence of the poetry collection had a great influence on her.

If her father wasn't giving a lecture and couldn't be disturbed, she would have wanted to say something to Mu Lianxue.

Mu Wenyu didn't ask any more questions afterwards, as if he didn't want to be angered to death, so he spoke very quickly.

If Mu Tangxi and his elder brother hadn't heard it before, they would have almost missed it.

One can imagine what Mu Jinrong and Mu Lianxue were like. They stared at their father blankly, looking confused and helpless.

Soon, Mu Wenyu finished his story ahead of time. He put away the book and was about to let them out of his sight so that he could have some peace and quiet, when Mu Jinfeng called his father.

"Father, mother has been imprisoned for quite some time. Recently, many invitations have been sent to our house, but no one has gone. The good relationship that mother has maintained with the ladies of various families is about to fade."

"I'm afraid this will be detrimental to the relationship between the Prime Minister's Office and other officials."

Mu Wenyu's eyes were fixed on Jin Feng, but when he heard halfway, he was stunned.

What Jinfeng said makes sense. These days, I feel a little awkward when communicating with other officials.

If he doesn't let his wife out, he can't let Xueniang attend the banquet, right?

Mu Tangxi blinked. Her elder brother started by speaking from the perspective of worrying about the Prime Minister's Mansion, and what he said was indeed true.

Mu Jinfeng continued, "Besides, keeping mother under house arrest is not good for her body and mind. If she is not released, the maids and servants might rebel."

Mu Wenyu was in deep thought, but still a little hesitant in his heart.

He was afraid that his wife would hurt Xuenniang again after she came out. What if Xuenniang couldn't wake up next time?

"Finally, my sister and the third prince's wedding day will be here in a little over a month, and now we still need mother to prepare some dowry, wedding clothes, and miscellaneous matters in the mansion."

Mu Tangxi was suddenly mentioned by her eldest brother, and looked at her father with an innocent face.

"Father, mother should have realized her mistake. I hope you can let her out."

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi also echoed their elder brother and younger sister, "Yes, father, we can't keep mother locked up forever."

Mu Wenyu's originally hesitant heart became even more shaken at this moment.

The most important thing now is the wedding banquet of my daughter and the third prince. The rest is not important. I hope Madam thinks the same way!

The Third Prince's team is still too small, and he cannot openly support the Third Prince. Unless the Emperor is seriously ill or passes away, the Emperor will definitely focus all his attention on him.

After thinking for a long time, Mu Wenyu nodded slightly, "Madam must have realized her mistake, so let's lift the confinement."

Mu Jinrong and Mu Lianxue's faces became even uglier. Their father actually let that lady out so easily!
