Chapter 431: Money Is More Important Than The Children

Translator: Vesper

At that time, Grand Tutor Lin married his daughter off with a ten-mile marriage procession, the dowry was the talk of the people, everything was good items, calligraphy writings, drawings that were worth thousands of taels of gold in auctions.

Grand Tutor Lin looked at Prime Minister Mu and waited for him to make his decision.

The crowd was also waiting. However, Emperor Feng was unable to wait any longer and he looked at Prime Minister Mu and asked coldly: “Prime Minister Mu, what is your decision?”

”This humble servant...... This humble servant......”

Even if it was half the dowry, it was considered a huge fortune, he could not afford to miss it. The two children hated him, they had no feelings for him, if this carried on, he was afraid that the two would directly take action against the Prime Minister’s Residence.

At that time, the losses outweigh the gains.

After much deliberation, Prime Minister Mu looked sadly at Grand Tutor Lin: “Is this the children’s intention, or father-in-law’s intention?”

”Who is your father-in-law? You are the Prime Minister, this old man cannot reach your level,” Grand Tutor Lin was instantly enraged when he heard the term father-in-law.

”Ke ke ke,” Perhaps Grand Tutor Lin was so agitated that he kept on coughing.

Everyone knew Grand Tutor Lin loved his only daughter very much, although she was said to have died from sickness at that time, everyone knew it was just an excuse. His late daughter was angered to death by Prime Minister My and his current wife.

”Grand Tutor, do not be angry,” Feng Shuo furrowed his brows, he hurried to the Grand Tutor’s side and gently patted his back.

Feng Shuo grew up being taught by Grand Tutor Lin, they had a master-disciple relationship.

Grand Tutor Lin inhaled a deep breath, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart as he looked at Prime Minister Mu: “Stop saying such hypocritical words. Choose, do you want the dowry or the children?”

It was hard for Prime Minister Mu to make a choice, everyone initially thought he might be taking his children into account, but after seeing the struggle in his eyes, they immediately understood that in the eyes of this Prime Minister, money was more important than his own children.

In the end, Prime Minister Mu chose half of the dowry and to cut off all ties with the children.

Everyone expected the result, however, they found it hard to believe.

For the sake of money, he actually broke off the relationship with two outstanding children, was it something that people would do?

Emperor Feng frowned as he looked at Prime Minister Mu, he declined to comment in the end: “In that case, from now onwards, Mu Chen and Mu Xue will no longer be related to the Mu Family.”

”Thank you for your grace.”

Grand Tutor Lin looked at Prime Minister Mu, the people in the surroundings found his gaze to be frightening.

The Grand Tutor’s gaze was really too frightening.

After the court ended, the crowd congratulated Prime Minister My for obtaining such a huge sum of money, but Prime Minister Mu knew that they were ridiculing him.

Mu Xue and the others soon knew about Prime Minister Mu breaking off the relationship with them, but they had to leave half of their mother’s dowry with him.

However, it was a small matter for the two of them, if they wished to, they could still find ways to retrieve all the items.

”It’s good right now, you can take revenge and settle all grudges in the future,” Xiao Qi Tian nodded his head in satisfaction, he felt happy about the outcome.

Ning Meng Yao nodded her head: “Qing Shuang.”

”Young miss, I know what to do.”

Ning Meng Yao smiled and did not continue talking.

The people by the side were filled with doubts, what was she going to do?

”Yao Yao, what are you planning to do?”

”I would let the people of Feng Empire know how cruel their Prime Minister is. Not letting off his own children for that little bit of dowry,” She would push Mu Chen and Mu Xue to be the weaker party, allowing them to carry their task with ease in the future.

Xiao Qi Tian looked at Ning Meng Yao for a long time, he said what’s on his mind: “I indeed cannot go against you.”

”It’s good that you understand,” Ning Meng Yao smiled, exposing her fangs. Just like that, she caused Xiao Qi Tian to take a few steps back.

Next, Xiao Qi Tian discussed the wedding date with Lin Family, at the same time, he gave Mu Xue many more items.

”You’ve already given me plenty of gifts, there’s no need to give me more,” Mu Xue looked helplessly at the man in front of her, he treated her really too well.

”Don’t worry, I still have more money.”
