Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort-Chapter 194: Annulment of the Engagement (7)

The more angry he got, the more he felt that the Empress had made a bad move. He completely ignored her.

The sobbing Empress Han glanced at Qin Cang’s expression, and her heart skipped a beat. She knew that His Majesty the Emperor was looking for a scapegoat again in his heart, and immediately fell silent, not daring to say more.

Qin Cang said in a deep voice, feeling troubled: "Mu Xiong, although that is the case, Mu Qingge’s actions are indeed too bold and presumptuous. If not severely punished, what if everyone follows suit? What should I do then?"

Mu Xiong lowered his eyes and said compliantly: "Your Majesty is right."

Hmm?

Mu Xiong’s reaction caught Qin Cang by surprise. It seemed he couldn’t understand why Mu Xiong was being so agreeable. Could it be that he truly understood the significance of punishment this deeply?

So, he followed Mu Xiong’s words and said: "Then, in your opinion, how should I punish him?" As soon as he spoke, Qin Cang regretted it. Had he unwittingly placed the initiative into Mu Xiong’s hands?

Mu Xiong’s lips curved into a barely noticeable smile.

He inwardly admired his precious granddaughter more and more... No, his precious granddaughter. He was following the plan Mu Qingge had discussed earlier, and managed to guide the Emperor to hand over the initiative like this.

His granddaughter was not only extraordinarily gifted, but her intelligence could also be considered monstrous!

Right then, he solemnly said: "Thank Your Majesty for trusting this old minister."

Once this statement was made, even if Qin Cang wanted to backtrack, he couldn’t. He could only press his luck and ask: "Hmm, tell me what you think."

Mu Xiong raised his eyes, glanced at Qin Cang, then lowered them again and said: "Ge’er is unruly, truly a rotten wood that cannot be carved. First and foremost, this old minister believes that in order to guarantee the honor of the Imperial Family and prevent this lad from disgracing the Imperial Family with his strange actions in the future, Your Majesty should annul the marriage agreement previously bestowed upon the Mu Mansion. Princess Changle is extraordinarily talented and virtuous, and should have a more distinguished Prince Consort, not this piece of mud from my family."

Annul the marriage?!

These words finally stirred Qin Jinhao from his silence. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

If the marriage is annulled, wouldn’t his only connection with the Mu Family be severed? Given Changle’s and Mu Qingge’s current relationship, they should be very close, so why would the Mu Family suddenly propose annulling the marriage?

Qin Jinhao looked puzzled, casting his gaze towards Mu Qingge standing beside Mu Xiong, as if seeking some clue from her.

Qin Cang was not aware of Qin Yiyao accompanying Mu Qingge to Yi City; he was reluctant when he agreed to this marriage. The imperial edict granting the marriage was largely due to the Empress Dowager’s favor.

In his heart, such an outstanding daughter like Changle had a greater purpose than marrying a libertine. According to the Empress Dowager’s gentle methods, it would solve the Mu Family issue.

Therefore, Mu Xiong’s proposal hit home, and his inner anger diminished somewhat.

"Mu Xiong, are you sure? A granddaughter-in-law like Yao’er is hard to come by!" Qin Cang had already made up his mind, but his words were still probing Mu Xiong a little more.

Mu Xiong showed a look of hesitance and remained silent.

It scared Qin Cang so much that he almost hurried to decree the annulment.

Fortunately, after his hesitation, Mu Xiong still painfully said: "Ge’er does not match Princess Changle. Please have Your Majesty issue the decree."

Upon hearing this, Qin Cang’s worried heart finally rested. Looking at Mu Qingge again, she seemed more pleasing to the eye.

He appeared troubled and said: "Alright, since you insist, then I shall decree it." Having said that, he looked at Mu Xiong, waiting for his next words.

Mu Xiong took the hint: "Thank you, Your Majesty. This old minister believes that simply annulling the marriage is not enough punishment. These years, this old minister has been negligent in discipline, allowing this lad to run rampant and arrogant in Luodu. His unruly nature is beyond my control; better to throw her into Yi City so that she is out of sight and out of mind. This old minister hopes Your Majesty will punish Mu Qingge by keeping her confined in Yi City until she comes of age, only then can she return to Luodu."
