My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Chapter 124: Ending one's life by oneself is the best outcome

"Miss, the concubine..."

Nanny Qiu spoke timidly.

Murong Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of impatience and an irritable tone.

"Humph, what's wrong with her? In this situation, if she doesn't want to be taken away by the people from Shuntian Prefecture, she should stay here honestly and don't cause any more trouble for me."

Nanny Qiu lowered her head, secretly worried.

Fortunately, although the young lady said that she was heartless, blood is thicker than water after all. If something really happened, the young lady would not be able to escape unscathed.

"Miss, I am just worried..."

Before Aunt Qiu finished speaking, she heard a familiar voice coming from the courtyard.

"Miss, Miss, Madam, people from Shuntian Prefecture broke into the palace. I heard that they were following the order of His Majesty. Now, the concubine will be taken away by them."

The maidservant beside Concubine Wen hurried over, and the news she brought was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Murong Jin and Nanny Qiu stunned.

Murong Jin's face instantly turned extremely ugly. She never thought that things would develop to this point.

Your Majesty actually intervened in this matter, which made the already complicated situation even more unpredictable.

"How could this happen? Why did Your Majesty suddenly intervene in this matter?"

Murong Jin frowned, his heart full of doubts.

Now, she couldn't understand His Majesty even more.

Aunt Qiu was also panicked. She said anxiously,

"Miss, what can we do? His Majesty has issued an order, and the concubine will definitely be taken away. We have to find a solution quickly."

Murong Jin took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

She knew that panicking was useless at this moment.

"Take me there."

After Murong Jin finished speaking, he was the first to go out.

Nanny Qiu and the maid hurriedly followed.

Wait until Murong Jin brought Nanny Qiu and the maid hurried to the main courtyard.

At this time, the officers from Shuntian Prefecture had surrounded Concubine Wen and were ready to take her away.

Concubine Wen's face was filled with fear, tears streaming down her face. Nanny Li stood by and had no intention of stepping forward.

"stop!"

Murong Jin shouted angrily, shocking everyone present.

The officers of Shuntian Prefecture looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

When Concubine Wen saw Murong Jin coming, she felt like she had found a life-saving straw and cried out

"Jin'er, you must save me. It was them, yes, they must have falsely conveyed the imperial edict. I am really wronged."

Murong Jin looked at Concubine Wen's miserable appearance. Although he felt dissatisfied, he also knew that this was not the time to make a fuss.

She turned around and glared at the Shuntian Prefecture officials.

"Concubine Wen is the concubine appointed by His Majesty himself, and she is also crowned with the Imperial Jade Butterfly. How can you be so presumptuous? Are you really going to die?"

The officers looked at each other, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, said with a stiff upper lip.

"Please forgive me, Miss. We are also following orders. His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of this matter. Concubine Wen and Chen Zicong must be brought back to Shuntian Prefecture. We dare not disobey, and please understand, Miss Murong."

Murong Jin snorted coldly.

"Since your majesty has issued an order, I certainly dare not disobey it. However, I have something to say to Concubine Wen. Is that okay?"

The leader of the officers hesitated for a moment. Although Murong Jin was no longer a princess, she was still the daughter of Prince Shun. After a moment's hesitation, he dared to speak.

"Ms. Murong, please hurry up. We dare not delay too long."

Murong Jin nodded slightly and walked quickly to Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen looked at her expectantly, with tears still in her eyes.

"Humph, you have seen the current situation. Since His Majesty has issued an order, I am afraid this matter will not be resolved peacefully. If you still want to live, then keep your mouth shut. As long as you don't admit it, nothing will happen. That person has already... You don't have to worry."

Murong Jin lowered his voice and said.

Concubine Wen tightly grasped Murong Jin's sleeve and said in a trembling voice

"Jin'er, mother knows she was wrong. I will listen to you from now on. You must save her."

Murong Jin waved away Concubine Wen's hand.

"In the future? If you want to stay alive, you should think about how to deal with the interrogation of Shuntian Prefecture. Otherwise, you may not have a future."

Concubine Wen shook her head in panic.

"Will he really be okay? Will he...?"

Murong Jin frowned slightly and whispered in Concubine Wen's ear.

"If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? Maybe, you shouldn't have hidden yourself that day. If you had died honestly, how could we be in this situation now?"

Her voice was so cold that Concubine Wen felt as if her whole body was frozen by ice.

She looked at Murong Jin with disbelief, and subconsciously moved away from her.

"you......"

What kind of daughter did she give birth to?

"Hmph, if you can't hold on, you should know what to do, right?"

Concubine Wen was completely stunned. Was she trying to commit suicide?

Concubine Wen opened her eyes wide, her face full of fear and despair.

She never thought that her own daughter would say such a thing.

"Jin'er, you...how can you say such a thing? I'm your mother."

Concubine Wen's voice trembled and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Murong Jin had a blank expression on his face, and there was a hint of indifference in his eyes.

"Mother? When have you ever truly fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother? Now that such a disaster has occurred, if you don't want to implicate more people, you'd better know what to do."

Concubine Wen felt disheartened. She looked at Murong Jin with cold eyes, as if she didn't know the person in front of her.

"Jin'er, are you really so cruel? If I die, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Murong Jin sneered, his eyes full of mockery and resentment.

"Retribution? When you did that, did you ever think about retribution? Did you ever think about what kind of situation I would be in if it happened? Now that His Majesty has intervened in this matter, do you think we still have a chance to survive? If you really can't bear it, ending your life on your own is the best outcome. Once the truth is revealed, we will all be doomed."

After hearing this, Concubine Wen felt like she was struck by lightning. Her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down her cheeks.

She knew that what Murong Jin said was true, but she was unwilling to end her life like this.

"Jin'er, is there no other way? I don't want to die, I really don't want to die."

Murong Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes.

"At this point, what are you still hoping for? If you don't want to die, then think carefully about how to deal with the interrogation of Shuntian Prefecture and don't cause me more trouble."

Murong Jin was feeling very annoyed. She really didn't have the patience to continue to tangle with this idiot.

If it wasn't for the purpose of restraining these people and giving Lin Ke a chance to attack, she would have turned around and left long ago.

Suddenly, there was a commotion at the gate of Prince Shun's Mansion...
