Chapter 469: Chapter 469 Entrusting more (3)_1

Du Yongbang stomped forward and on seeing his precious daughter resembling a wilted flower after an excursion into the palace, his heart immediately twisted in pain.

"Dad..."

With a whimper, Du Wanyue spoke out, her voice trembling with resentment.

Today, she felt that she had completely lost face.

She had initially planned to get closer to the Prince of Liaodan, only to not only fail in captivating him but also get knocked unconscious by him. She lay still as death in the Imperial Garden for a long time, spotted by all the young masters passing by. Fortunately, she was dressed as a maid and her identity as the legitimate daughter of the Duke hadn’t been revealed. Otherwise, the shame would have killed her!

"What exactly happened? Wanru, you tell me."

Seeing his second daughter sobbing uncontrollably and unable to speak, Du Yongbang asked his eldest daughter to explain.

With a furious expression, Du Wanru spoke: "It was all because of that little cheap hoof from the Mu family! She slipped away from the feast and Wanyue noticed her sneaky behavior and followed her. To her surprise, it turned out that she was engaging in wrongful activities with the Great Prince of Liaodan, hiding in the fake mountain in the Imperial Garden. When Wanyue stumbled upon them, the Great Prince, infuriated and embarrassed, fearing Wanyue might expose him, threw his knife sheath at her, knocking her out. When Wanyue fell, she twisted her ankle and now she can’t even walk!"

"What? She... she actually..."

Du Yongbang, momentarily forgetting to pursue the matter of his daughter being attacked, was shocked at the news about Mu Caiwei being caught in a scandalous situation with a man. He found it hard to believe that such a young lady from the Mu family could do something so disgraceful. However, his daughter’s fervent, adamant denouncement made him instinctively choose to believe his own flesh and blood.

"Heh, she sure is quite the character. I’ve learned a thing or two today about her. Not only did she charm Young Master Huo, she also ensnared the Prince of Liaodan and His Highness King Qin within a single trip to the palace. She indeed is a seductive fox reincarnate!"

Burning with jealousy, Du Wanru gritted her teeth, disregarding the presence of the maids by her side. She cursed unrestrainedly, wishing the servants could spread tales of Mu Caiwei’s lewd and disgraceful conduct to help vent her pent-up anger.

Although Du Yongbang also harbored resentment towards Caiwei and wished to severely punish her for his daughter’s sake, having personally witnessed King Qin’s favor towards her, he was naturally somewhat cautious. Hence, he said in a low voice: "Wanru, don’t speak indiscreetly. Follow me back to the Osmanthus Pavilion first. We will discuss further after meeting your grandfather."

Having said that, he personally stepped forward to support Du Wanyue. He instructed a maid to summon a doctor to treat Du Wanyue’s injuries before heading toward the Osmanthus Pavilion.

In the Flower Hall

Upon hearing of Caiwei’s scandalous incidents within the palace, Du Ruohai and his sons were astonished, unsure of how to react.

Du Yongzhi expressed his concerns: "Father, does this mean that Princess Zhao Yang was slapped by King Qin because of Mu Caiwei? If so, the Empress will undoubtedly resent Mu Caiwei for driving a wedge between her and her brother. Now that she is residing in our mansion, the Empress may also harbor resentment towards us!"

"Exactly!"

Du Yongbang concurred: "Not only did she offend Princess Zhao Yang and the Empress, she also offended Princess Helana. Princess Helana is the sister of the Prince’s wife, a person whom even the Emperor and Empress should accord respect. Now that she has offended her, what should we do?"

Madam Wang also expressed her worries: "Young lady Mu not only seduced King Qin, she also had an illicit affair with the Prince of Liaodan! Keeping such a restless woman in our house, she is bound to bring disaster to us! Old Master, we must think of a plan!"

Du Ruohai sighed: "But what can we do? King Qin personally sent her back just now, entrusting us to take good care of her. Are we supposed to turn her out as soon as he leaves? The outcome of the contest between King Qin and the Prince is still undetermined. If we offend King Qin now, what will happen if he..."
