章節 739: Protection

Mu Yangling pulled the two children up and pushed them aside. Then, she looked at Old Madam Shu and Shu Shuniang with a frosty gaze. Without waiting for them to speak, she turned to Rain and said, "Gag them and lock them in the backyard first. Send them to the government office later."

Rain brought two maidservants forward and immediately gagged them. Old Madam Shu whimpered as she looked at Mu Yangling and Shu Wanniang resentfully.

Pale-faced, Shu Wanniang went forward and grabbed Mu Yangling fiercely. Her mouth was slightly agape as she looked at the two children with their heads lowered. Yet in the end, she didn't say anything.

However, the onlookers felt a chill and greeted Mu Yangling one after another. Although they didn't get a clear look at the two people who were taken away, they couldn't be thieves or commoners since they could enter the backyard via the second floor. However, since Princess Consort Rong said so, it must be so.
