The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 1345: Chapter 1339

Xin Lin spoke, and Mu Chen looked at his cousins around him.

"What exactly is going on? Is what Xin Lin said true?"

The young masters and ladies, who had been flaunting their power just a moment ago, instantly deflated when Mu Chen reprimanded them.

They mumbled, afraid to speak.

After all, inside the East Court, the bullying among the young masters and ladies was conducted secretly.

Third Brother was known for his explosive temper and disliked seeing such things happen. If he found out the truth, they would all be in trouble.

"Third Young Master, don’t listen to their nonsense. They were the ones who started the fight. Earlier, when the two maids were here, Miss Ziyue attacked us for no reason, and she broke the maid’s leg directly. Fifth Young Master was trying to seek justice for us when he employed the Ghost Control Technique."

The maid Shuixian cried aloud nearby.

Mu Chen glanced at Shuixian’s injuries and frowned.

"Xin Lin, did you break her leg?"

"It’s true that I broke her leg, but they were in the wrong initially. Master Mu, let me ask you, who are Shuixian and Qingyun?"

Xin Lin sneered.

"They are my aunt’s maids."

Mu Chen replied.

"And who is Ziyue?"

Xin Lin asked again.

Mu Chen hesitated.

"Why not answer? Let me do it for you. Ziyue is your uncle’s daughter, a true lady of the East Court. Yet these so-called maids ignored the lady’s words and even dared to frame her. That maid named Qingyun was merely injured by Ziyue’s True Qi and couldn’t stand but accused Ziyue of breaking her leg? I don’t know the rules of Fengdong, but I know there is a distinction between masters and servants, much like that between sovereigns and ministers. If a sovereign wishes a minister dead, the minister must comply. In other places, ignoring and slandering one’s master would be considered a minor offense."

Xin Lin sneered.

Her words were incisive, leaving Shuixian and Qingyun pale-faced.

Mu Chen’s expression was also grim.

He looked at Shuixian.

"Shuixian, is what she said true?"

Shuixian shivered and couldn’t speak.

"Rebelling against one’s superiors is punishable wherever you are. Shuixian, although you serve my aunt, you broke the family rules and sowed discord, so you deserve to be punished. The East Court cannot keep you."

Mu Chen waved his hand.

When Shuixian heard this, she collapsed to the ground, begging for mercy.

Served in the East Court for many years, she was no longer a virgin. Being expelled meant not only losing a good family but even her parents might not take her back.

With her leg broken, her fate might be to be sold to a brothel by her wicked siblings at home.

"Third Young Master, I was wrong, please spare me this time."

Mu Chen remained silent.

"Miss Ziyue, I beg you, spare the maid this time. The maid will never dare again."

Knowing the issue originated with Murong Ziyue, she pleaded with Murong Ziyue.

Murong Ziyue remained silent.

Such a wicked servant would only continue sowing discord if kept; she felt no pity.

"Drag her away."

Mu Chen waved his hand, and his subordinates dragged Shuixian out.

Though Qingyun was not expelled, she was demoted from a Second-class Maid to a Third-class Maid.

Mu Chen dealt with the maids swiftly in a few words.

At this time, Mu Feng was still crying and shouting, showing no sign of returning to his senses.

"Xin Lin... I’ve already punished Shuixian and Qingyun. As for my fifth brother..."

Mu Chen looked at Xin Lin, knowing that the matter must be related to Xin Lin at this point.
