After rebirth, my mother came to power based on her son.

Mu Qingge took off her coat, put it on her body, took off the hairpin she used to tie her hair, and pretended to get up in a hurry and left the house.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"The ancestral hall is on fire."

Mu Qingge's eyes widened: "The ancestral hall is on fire? Is the second sister still in the ancestral hall? Is she okay?"

"Not only the second young lady, but also the maid next to you, the eldest lady, is also in the ancestral hall."

"Who?" Mu Qingge suddenly paused: "Green Bamboo?"

Mu Qingge turned around and took a look at the ancestral hall: "Lvzhu is indeed not in the ancestral hall, but why is she in the ancestral hall? What is she doing in the ancestral hall?"

"I don't know, the master and Aunt Liu have already arrived. I asked the young lady to invite you to come over."

Mu Qingge responded, quickly put on her clothes, and walked out the door.

As soon as he walked into the main courtyard, he saw Shen Weilan getting up after being woken up: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"The ancestral hall is on fire. A servant came to report it. They said that for some reason, the green bamboo was also over there at the ancestral hall. I went over to take a look."

Shen Weilan frowned: "The green bamboo is over there at the ancestral hall? What's going on? Why don't you take Furong over there too."

"No need." Mu Qingge said quickly: "Mother, you are still in confinement. Please don't come out to enjoy the breeze. Go back to the house quickly. I'll go take a look and come back. Everything will be fine."

Shen Weilan felt that this matter might not be that simple, but she was indeed in confinement and it was not convenient for anything, so she could only whisper: "Be careful. If anything happens, call someone over to tell you." that is. "

"okay."

Mu Qingge followed the servants to the ancestral hall. The fire in the ancestral hall had been put out. Only Mu Yanjing, her maid, and Lu Zhu were kneeling in the open space in front of the ancestral hall. Their hair was messy and their faces were stained. Black, they all look very embarrassed.

Seeing her coming over, Mu Yanjing immediately spoke: "Dad, it was really Mu Qingge who did it!"

"I was kneeling in the ancestral hall to think about my mistakes, but this maid named Luzhu sneaked in and started setting fire to it."

"Fortunately, I was more vigilant and noticed it. We quickly stopped Luzhu. She was about to run away. We fought together and hurriedly called for help. Then we called the housekeeper who was on duty at night."

"Dad, you've got both the stolen goods and the stolen goods. Let's see if my sister has anything else to say."

Aunt Liu fanned the flames on the side, holding an embroidered handkerchief and looking like she was about to cry: "My Jing'er is so miserable. Her innocence has been tainted by others, but there are still people who want to burn her and kill her. What a cruel heart."

Mu Changyun looked at the burned-out ancestral hall in front of him and listened to the cries and howls of Aunt Liu and her daughter. He felt that one was as big as the other.

"Shut up, everyone!"

Mu Qingge took a few steps forward and said hello to Mu Changyun: "Dad."

Mu Changyun took a deep breath and turned to look at her: "The ancestral hall is on fire. Jing'er said you ordered your maid to set the fire. What do you say about this?"

"Me?" Mu Qingge blinked, a little confused: "I have no idea what happened."

After Mu Qingge finished speaking, he turned to look at Lu Zhu who was kneeling aside: "Lv Zhu, what is going on? What are you doing here without sleeping in the middle of the night? Did you set the fire?"

Lu Zhu bit her lip, raised her eyes cautiously, and met Aunt Liu's warning gaze.

Lu Zhu trembled all over, remembering Mu Yanjing's words before.

"If you help me this time and say that Mu Qingge asked you to set the fire, I can forgive you for your previous betrayal and keep you safe. When the time comes, I will give you enough money and ask someone to send you out.

You will be free. You can live whatever kind of life you want, and you no longer have to be a lowly slave."

"But if you don't follow what I say, my mother is still in charge of the back house of Mu Mansion. If I want you to die, there are thousands of ways. Let's see if Mu Qingge can protect her.

Stay with you."

Luzhu took a deep breath and raised his head: "Yes, it was the eldest lady who asked the slave to set the fire."

The corner of Mu Yanjing's mouth curled up slightly, but she quickly suppressed it: "Dad, look, it's Mu Qingge! She is so cruel! Her daughter is already like this, and she actually wants to kill her! And she

She was so bold that she burned down the ancestral hall! This is the ancestral hall of our Mu family! How dare she?"

"Not only did she send people to burn down the ancestral hall, but she also wanted to frame all of this on me. If we hadn't desperately caught the bastard who set the fire, everyone would have thought that the fire was caused by the fire.

It started because of me."

"After all, it was just me and my maid in the ancestral hall."

Mu Changyun had veins popping out on his forehead. He walked up to Mu Qingge and slapped Mu Qingge: "You are indeed a fool! Kneel down! What do you have to say?"

There was a "pop" sound, which was extremely painful.

Mu Qingge took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and knelt in the direction of the ancestral hall with lowered eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly: "Dad, do you want to doubt your daughter just because of their few words? My daughter is crazy, why did you burn the ancestral hall?

?”

"Dad, my daughter is the eldest daughter of the Mu family. She is also the only one of my father's current children who has entered the family tree and entered the ancestral hall. It would not be good for me if I burned the ancestral hall."

"It's the same today during the day. My sister and Aunt Liu are trying to slander my daughter with just a few words. My mother has just given birth to a legitimate son in the house for her father, and she has caused so many monsters."

"My daughter has to suspect that someone is dissatisfied with her mother for giving birth to a legitimate son for her father, and deliberately wants to plot against my mother and me."

Mu Changyun frowned, and what Mu Qingge said seemed to make some sense.

but……

"But if your maid said it herself, how can it be false?"

Mu Qingge's face was full of grievance: "My maid may have been bribed to give false testimony."

Mu Qingge turned to look at Lu Zhu: "Since she said I ordered her to set the fire, I would like to ask her questions."

"How did you set the fire? Where did you light the fire? Where did the fire start?"

"Arson is a serious crime, but you are willing to do it if I ask you to do it? What benefits have I given you? When and where did I tell you to come here to set fire? Since I told you to set fire, you should know how to do it.

Prepare the tools in advance, right? You have to have a fire, right? What did you use to start the fire?"

A flash of panic flashed in Lu Zhu's eyes, and Mu Qingge turned to look at Mu Yanjing: "My sister said that she found Lu Zhu setting fire, so she asked her maid to catch Lu Zhu. Can my sister and your maid tell me?

I, when you found Luzhu, where was Luzhu standing? How did she set the fire? Where did the fire start?"

Mu Yanjing was about to speak, but was interrupted by Mu Qingge: "Don't answer any of you yet. Daddy, ask someone to bring paper and pen and ask them to write it down. I want to see what the three of them's confessions are.

It’s not unanimous, whether anyone lied or not.”
