While Mu Jingyan was in a daze, Mo Xuanling had already rushed to her side and picked her up." Jingyan, I'll take you away."

Mu Jingyan's reaction was slow. Before he could refuse, he was carried out by Mo Xuanling.

Outside the courtyard, there were many people fighting the fire. The servants of the Mu family, Mu Jingyan's grandmother, and father were all here.

"Why is the Second Prince in the backyard?"

" Look, the Second Prince is hugging the Eldest Miss?"

"What is this? What about the Young Miss's innocence?"

"But the Second Prince is also trying to save the Eldest Miss."

" Eldest Young Miss is a woman after all. If her innocence is destroyed, how will she be able to marry in the future?"

Everyone whispered.

Mu Jingyan quickly jumped down from Mo Xuanling's arms, feeling regretful.

After so many years of being husband and wife, Mu Jingyan had neglected the intimate contact between her and Mo Xuanling. However, she had forgotten that she had not married yet. Although Mo Xuanling was trying to save her from the sea of fire, hugging her in public was ruining her innocence.

How was she going to marry Mo Jiuchen in the future?

At this moment, Mu Jingyan saw Mo Jiuchen's figure in the crowd. Mo Jiuchen was late and left the scene in disappointment.

Mu Jingyan opened his mouth slightly, but he couldn't say anything. He only felt resentment in his heart.

Mo Xuanling was too cunning. He was the one who started the fire, but he pretended to save her out of kindness. Now, he used this matter to destroy her innocence. Next, she would probably have to ask the emperor to bestow her with a marriage.

No, she had to think of a way to reject the marriage. She could not marry Mo Xuanling again.

Amid everyone's criticism, Mu Jingyan's father, Mu Wanchao's face darkened. He turned around and sternly ordered his servant maids, Huashan and Yutong," You two, hurry up and help Eldest Miss back to her room!"

"Yes."

Hua Shan and Yu Tong quickly walked to Mu Jingyan's side, put on her coat, and helped her back to the room.

Mu Wanchao cupped his hands and bowed." Thank you, Second Prince, for saving my wife and daughter. I am extremely grateful."

Mo Xuanling cupped his hands in return and said," General Mu, you don't have to be so polite. Although I have good intentions, I have intimate relations with Sister Jing Yan. I'm afraid that Sister Jing Yan will be criticized in the future. If General Mu doesn't mind, I can enter the palace to report to my father and ask for a decree to marry Sister Jing Yan to me. What do you think, General Mu?"

"This..." Mu Wanchao hesitated and said solemnly,"My daughter has been naughty since she was young. I'm afraid she's not worthy of the Second Prince." Moreover, the fire tonight is strange and this old minister still needs to investigate. It is not too late to discuss this matter later. Please forgive this old minister for not having the heart to entertain Second Prince today. This old minister wants to visit Madam and Jing Yan. Second Prince, please do as you please."

Mu Wanchao bowed and left. Mo Xuanling could only leave this matter for later.

After Mu Wanchao left, Mo Xuanling's eyes darkened.

At this time, Mu Jingyan's body was fine, but his mother was weak. After this incident, she suffered a lot and was still bedridden.

Mu Jingyan changed his clothes and came to visit his mother.

She looked at Bai Yinxin who was lying on the sickbed, and there were countless pains in her heart.

In her previous life, her mother, who loved her the most, died in the fire of Mo Xuanling's conspiracy. However, before she died, she offended the murderer who killed her mother from Yun Shangrong's mouth. Mu Jingyan felt extremely guilty.

"Yan 'er, why are you crying?" Bai Yinxin woke up and saw Mu Jingyan crying. Her heart ached for a moment.

Mu Jingyan had always been competitive. No matter how much pain she suffered, she would only hide it in her heart. This was the first time Bai Yinxin had seen her daughter cry in front of her.

"Yan 'er is worried about mother." Mu Jingyan choked, feeling only guilt towards Bai Yin.

Bai Yinxin smiled." Silly daughter, Mother is fine. Don't worry." Mother knows that the Emperor intends to betroth you to the Ninth Prince, but you have deep feelings for the Second Prince. If your heart belongs to the Second Prince, Mother will make the decision and help you tell Father to ask the Emperor for a decree to marry you to the Second Prince."

The Mu family had risked their lives for the royal family and made great contributions. Mu Wanchao was also granted the title of Grand Marshal of the world's military forces and commanded the six armies. At that time, the Mu family was prosperous for a time.

Mu Jingyan was Mu Wanchao's only daughter, and Emperor Mo Wuyou intended to marry into the Mu family.
