His cold gaze swept across, causing everyone who t his eyes to lower their heads and retreat involuntarily.
They were completely innocent, not knowing what was going on at all!
This ti, the guests who ca to the Mu Mansion to attend the coming-of-age ceremony couldn’t help but regret their visit today.
That icy gaze swept over Bai Xiyue as well. She knew that Qin Jinhao was rely acting, yet she still felt a piercing pain as if blades were being thrust at her.
Inexplicably, a sense of panic spread from within, swiftly enveloping her entire being.
’It’s fine, it’s fine! Now that today’s major event is accomplished, she can leave the Mu Mansion and rightfully embrace Prince Rui. The debts the Mu Mansion owes her will be settled today!’ Only after repeatedly comforting herself did Bai Xiyue feel a bit relieved.
Qin Jinhao’s gaze swept around and finally landed on Mu Xiong.
He carried the letter in his hand and walked toward Mu Xiong.
To those unaware, this scene seed perfectly normal.
However, in Bai Xiyue’s eyes, this was the true beginning of the entire plan. Today, she was going to overturn the entire Mu Family!
Yet, she failed to notice that the official who first saw the contents of these letters had lowered his eyes and stepped back after Qin Jinhao started walking toward Mu Xiong.
It seed that this official, well-versed in the ways of the bureaucracy, had already understood so of Qin Jinhao’s true intentions.
Qin Jinhao stopped beside Mu Xiong, handed over the letter, and said seriously, "Old Gongye, see for yourself. Unexpectedly, there are ill-intentioned people trying to fra you."
Mu Xiong took the letters with a stern expression, lowered his gaze to look at them, and pressed his lips tightly into a line.
Bai Xiyue’s heart gave a start; she surreptitiously glanced at Qin Jinhao with so surprise. She couldn’t understand Prince Rui’s intentions.
Doesn’t this give Mu Xiong a chance to refute? Handing the ’evidence’ over to him allows him the opportunity to destroy it, doesn’t it?
A feeling of losing control swept over her, making Bai Xiyue unable to conceal her true emotions.
Mu Lianrong, who had been secretly watching her, felt a stab of pain in her heart, and her eyes carried a faint sadness.
"Humph! Utter nonsense!" Mu Xiong’s eyes glared like a tiger’s, and with a shake of his palm, the papers scattered to the ground, allowing many nearby to glimpse their contents.
Those letters seed to be correspondences between Mu Xiong and a mber of the Tu Country’s Imperial Family. The contents accused Mu Xiong of secretly instigating infighting within the Qin Imperial Family and undermining battles, among other cris.
The words revealed Mu Xiong’s treasonous intent.
Those who glimpsed the contents paled, as if they had learned so forbidden secret, their breaths becoming rapid.
A mysterious and incomprehensible atmosphere continued to spread among the crowd.
"I, Mu Xiong, have already achieved fa and success in Qin Country. Colluding with Tu Country, as if Tu Country could offer an Emperor’s position? Humph!" Mu Xiong snorted coldly, making everyone hold their breath.
No, this isn’t right!
Bai Xiyue watched the scene, her eyes filled with so panic.
In her plan, wasn’t it supposed to be that after the evidence of collusion with the enemy country was exposed, with Qin Jinhao’s help, everyone would denounce the Mu Family, leaving them with no room to argue?
Why is it turning out like this?
Mu Xiong didn’t care at all. Everyone was too scared to speak, and even Prince Rui, who had seemingly agreed, appeared to be siding with the Mu Mansion.
She instinctively looked at Qin Jinhao, only to find that he wasn’t looking at her. It was as if he didn’t know her at all.
"Soone is framing Grandpa?" A cool voice like a spring interrupted.
