Chapter 170 Threat
When Mu Weihou heard Su Yuntian calling him father-in-law, he was stunned. He immediately bowed and said.
"Your Highness, I'm afraid you called me the wrong person. After all, Ah Jin is no longer Princess Yun. I really don't deserve to be called father-in-law."
"I didn't call you wrong, why would my father-in-law ask that? Could it be that Ah Jin and I are having a tantrum, and he has to write a letter to my father-in-law to tell him about it?"
After Su Yuntian asked Mu Wei, he laughed softly, his tone full of doting for Mu Jin.
Su Yuntian's behavior almost made Mu Weihou think that Mu Jin was really being petty and wrote the letter to him in a fit of anger.
However, Mu Jin is his daughter after all, and no one knows a daughter better than her father. He certainly knows whether Mu Jin is just being stubborn or really intends to leave Su Yuntian.
When in the capital, he clearly noticed that the joy in Mu Jin's eyes when Su Yuntian was mentioned was no longer there. Instead, there was indifference. Yes, even the feeling of hatred had disappeared completely.
When she talked about Su Yuntian, she was so indifferent as if she was talking about a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
Mu Jin told him that she would divorce Su Yuntian in her own way.
And the words in the letter clearly revealed how ecstatic Mu Jin was when she was finally able to leave Su Yuntian and return to the general's mansion after receiving the emperor's decree to divorce her husband for saving the infected people.
Seeing that Mu Weihou didn't say anything, Su Yuntian knew that Mu Jin must have written a letter to let Mu Weihou know about her divorce.
Su Yuntian said, "Before, I was deceived by that vicious woman Shen Qianqian, so I had some misunderstandings about Ah Jin. So Ah Jin got angry with me and did something as ridiculous as divorcing her husband, but I don't blame her."
"Even if she still has resentment towards me and insists on staying at the General's Mansion, I will let her do it. After all, I did fail Ah Jin."
"Before leaving Beijing this time, I wanted to go to the General's Mansion to bring her back, but I suddenly received an urgent report from Yanmen Pass, and learned that Mu Yan was kidnapped by Beiqi. My father ordered me to serve as a peace envoy and go to Yanmen Pass as soon as possible, so I was unable to bring Ah Jin back to the mansion."
"However, the reason why I did not take Ah Jin back at this time was also out of consideration for her own good. First, I was afraid that she would be worried after knowing that Mu Yan was abducted. Second, it would be boring for her if I was not in the palace."
"After I have successfully negotiated with Bei Qi and brought back Mu Yan, I will go to the General's Mansion to pick up A Jin and bring him back to the Palace. At that time, I will need my father-in-law to say a few good words for A Jin on my behalf. Otherwise, I am afraid he will still be angry with me and ignore me."
Although every word Su Yuntian said was full of love for Mu Jin, Mu Weihou always felt something was wrong, so he interrupted him immediately.
"Prince Yun is joking. Ah Jin wrote to me and told me that she no longer has feelings for you, and that the emperor has issued a decree to divorce her husband, so it cannot be false."
"Although I don't know why Prince Yun hated Ah Jin so much before and now acts like he loves and cherishes her, it is also a fact that you threw Shen Qianqian to Hanshan Village and almost caused her to die in Hanshan Village because of her."
"Thinking about it now, I still feel scared. If we hadn't won the battle and could have returned to Beijing to report to the emperor, Mu Yan would have taken this opportunity to return to Beijing to find her from Hanshan Village. Otherwise, if Ah Jin had died there, I, as a father, wouldn't have known about it."
"By the way, that time when Mu Yan brought Ah Jin back from Hanshan Village, it happened to be the time when you, Prince Yun, got married to a concubine?"
Mu Weihou sneered and said, "If Ah Jin hadn't come back at the right time, I wouldn't have been able to drink this cup of concubine tea."
Hearing Mu Weihou's words, Su Yuntian's original smile disappeared from his lips. Dark clouds slowly climbed up his pupils, but only for a moment, and his complexion immediately returned to normal.
"I've said it before, it was Shen Qianqian who caused the separation between me and Ajin. I've already sent Shen Qianqian out of the palace, and she later committed suicide. No one can affect the relationship between me and Ajin from now on."
Mu Weihou took a serious look at Su Yuntian. He always felt that Su Yuntian had become a little crazy about Mu Jin. Even before, Su Yuntian always had a condescending expression towards him. When would he become so humble and bowing in front of him, calling him "son-in-law" like he was now.
"Your Highness, you can't force a relationship between a son and a daughter. I respect Ah Jin's decision. If Prince Yun has no other important military matters to discuss, I will leave first."
After Mu Weihou finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Su Yuntian said.
Mu Weihou turned around and looked over.
"Are you really not going to let Ajin and me return home?" Su Yuntian asked.
"I have said that I respect Ah Jin's opinion. Since she has returned to the General's Mansion, if Prince Yun really cares about her, he should respect her decision and part ways with Ah Jin in peace."
Su Yuntian smiled and said, "It's a good idea to part ways in peace. Since my father-in-law doesn't want to talk about Ah Jin, then let's talk about Mu Yan."
"This time, Mu Yan disregarded military regulations and took my Dongyue soldiers to provoke the Beiqi people, which led to an ambush by the Beiqi people. Not only did he lose those soldiers, but he also caused a dispute between the two countries. This crime can be serious or minor."
Mu Weihou narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Su Yuntian, "It was the Beiqi people who came to my camp to provoke me several times. Mu Yan got my permission to drive the Beiqi people away from the camp. I hope that King Yun can understand this clearly."
Su Yuntian sneered and said, "This king also wants to investigate, but what I want to know is, should I investigate as Mu Yan's brother-in-law, or as the King of Dongyue?"
"What's the difference?" asked Marquis Mu Wei.
Su Yuntian said, "Of course there is a difference. I am such a loyal and patriotic person, so my brother-in-law must be the same as me. On the contrary, it is hard to say about people who have nothing to do with me. Let's not talk about the rumors outside about whether your Mu family army has acquiescence with Beiqi. Just talk about how the 60,000 dan of food and grass in your barracks came from. You must explain it clearly to the emperor."
"Do you threaten me?"
Marquis Mu Wei had a hint of sneer on his face, and said, "Why did these 60,000 dan of grain appear in this camp? We have to thank our Ah Jin! I heard that these grains were her dowry from Prince Yun's Mansion. She sold these dowries to raise money for her father and brother."
"So, Mu Yan doesn't have the blessing to be the brother-in-law of Prince Yun. Ah Jin even sold her dowry, which means she is determined to sever ties with Prince Yun's Mansion. Even the things she brought back from Prince Yun's Mansion are annoying to her, and she would rather exchange them for money to buy food for the soldiers on this frontier."
Listening to Mu Weihou's words, Su Yuntian's face was tense, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and he spoke coldly to Mu Weihou.
"Then I will act impartially."
Mu Weihou sneered and bowed to Su Yuntian, saying, "Prince Yun, please make the decision yourself. I will take my leave now."
After Mu Weihou finished speaking, he walked out of the tent without looking back. However, after he had taken a few steps, he heard the sound of a teacup smashing to the ground inside the tent.
