Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 179: Losing Everything

General Mu was forced to listen to the Grand Princess's sharp voice, suppressing his displeasure as he saluted and said, "A great victory at the border. The neighboring country has withdrawn its troops."

"Good, very good! General Mu and General Guan have worked hard." The empress was overjoyed. She left the two young generals in the capital just in case, but she was still worried that it would affect the war on the border.

Fortunately, she had money, the army was well-fed and provided with the latest protective gear provided by Qian Qiansui, which greatly reduced casualties. She had thought of a great victory at the border a long time ago, but it happened much earlier than she expected.

"Impossible! How could they withdraw their troops so easily? They promised me...they..." Fu Lilu subconsciously looked at the eldest princess. The situation had gotten out of control, and the only one he could rely on was his aunt.

But at this time, the eldest princess's attention was all focused on General Mu. Her eyes were crazy, she was muttering to herself, and the hatred emanating from her body could not be concealed.

"Is your father coming back? After the great victory at the border, is he going back to Beijing to report?" The eldest princess had completely lost her mind. She had become a prisoner, but she still stubbornly wanted to find an answer.

The Empress could no longer bear to watch and shouted, "Enough! General Mu will be rewarded for this great victory, but the situation at the border is unpredictable and he is needed to guard it. He cannot return to the capital for the time being."

"No! You did it on purpose. You helped him leave Beijing and separated us. Now you don't let him return to Beijing... What's your intention?!"

The empress couldn't bear to listen any longer, and she knew that it was not appropriate for General Mu to be here, so she simply asked him and General Guan to withdraw with the imperial guards.

General Mu was indeed relieved, but the old guys from the royal family started to make a fuss, lying on the ground and crying.

"We have all been deceived by His Majesty. We are innocent. Your Majesty, please investigate..."

"Your Majesty! We are all descendants of the imperial family, the Fu family. Please, for the sake of the Emperor Taizong, spare us."

"It's not us... It has nothing to do with us... It's all because of the clan leader, it's all because of him... He was the one who asked us to come..."

"What am I? Aren't you guys here for the money too?"

"Your Majesty, please spare my life..."

The empress's head was aching. She had asked these people to leave before, but they were unwilling to do so. It was not her fault.

"Take these people away." She stretched out her hand and casually pushed the crowd out, then said to General Mu.

General Mu immediately took the people out, and only the empress, Prime Minister Pei and the two useless people lying on the ground were left in the room.

"You will be punished..."

"Shut up! Family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public. Do you want me to tell General Mu how shameless you were to set your sights on General Mu, who already had a fiancée? Or that you stripped naked and climbed into his bed just to take General Mu for yourself, and he didn't want you?

As a result, you want to kill someone's fiancée and put the entire Mu family in jail as a threat. Is this something a princess of a country can do?

What's the difference between you and those bandits in the mountain stronghold? The Mu family has lost countless members to defend the border of Tang State. They are a family of loyal heroes. Why should they suffer this unprovoked disaster because of a shameless woman like you?

If the late emperor really wanted to issue an edict for you, this country would be better off destroyed!"

Everyone in this room is her family, and the empress couldn't help it. Now the eldest princess is pretending to be a decent person, but in fact, not only is she a thief and a prostitute, she can even rape men.

It just so happened that Taizong's children all grew up abnormal, and the late emperor actually thought that the military power could be returned to the Mu family after they married the princess. However, this guy was timid and afraid that it would be written in history books and he would be scolded to death by future generations. Therefore, after the empress's persuasion and negotiation, he let General Mu return to the border to marry and have children.

This is also one of the reasons why the Grand Princess hates the Empress so much.

"No! General Mu has feelings for me. He gave me a hairpin, accompanied me to light lanterns... and took me horseback riding... It's you! You can't bear to see me happy and want to break us up!" The eldest princess was sometimes gentle, and sometimes cried like a mad woman.

"General Mu did all these things for his fiancée. You've gone crazy... Changrong..." The empress looked at her with pity, a rare expression of hers.

"No! No!"

The eldest princess struggled, covering her face and screaming in pain.

Fu Lilu hid aside in fear. He had never seen his aunt in this state. He vaguely heard that the eldest princess had a lover when she was young, but his mother was jealous of the eldest princess and separated the two. Even the prince consort who was later recruited failed to appease his aunt's heart, so the two divorced not long after his aunt gave birth to Princess Qingping.

Now, no one seems to have mentioned where the prince consort has gone.

"Don't act crazy or stupid. Do you think you can get away with this? Or do you want me, your brain-dead son, to take the blame for you?"

When the empress thought of what this woman had done, her heart hardened again.

"What kind of feelings can you have? Your so-called admiration for General Mu is just because you are attracted by the military power in his hands. You are only attracted to his wealth when you recruit him as a son-in-law. You are only pampering your daughter because of the value she brings to the marriage. Do you dare to tell her how her father died?

Where did the many properties of your Grand Princess's Mansion come from?"

The empress became even angrier when she saw the eldest princess curled up on the ground, as if she couldn't hear anything.

"Do you dare to tell everyone in the world how your son came about?"

Fu Lilu sat on the ground at a loss and looked at the eldest princess. When did his aunt have a son?

Seeing that the eldest princess was still mumbling to herself and unwilling to face the situation, the empress placed a memorial on the table and said, "You gave birth to a child but didn't raise him. Instead, you trained him to be an assassin for the Assassin's House. For so many years, you used this child to scheme for you. How many people have you harmed and how much money have you earned?

The royal family only thought Fu Zichan was resourceful and ambitious, but who knew you were the one with a vicious heart who wanted to control everything!

"So what?" The eldest princess turned back with a sinister smile and said nervously, "You have no ambition? If you have no ambition, how did you get to that position? You haven't killed anyone? Haven't you killed enough people who opposed you?"

"I never kill innocent people." The empress looked at her and said firmly.

"That's because you're not ruthless enough!" The Grand Princess suddenly chuckled. "I'm not ruthless enough either. Otherwise, I should have killed that bastard in the capital long ago, instead of waiting until he left. This would have caused a complication and given him the chance to send you evidence."

Fu Lilu seemed to have never known this woman before. He was already panicking. He didn't know which of the things this woman had said to him in the past were true and which were false!

"Evergreen, this is a capital crime!"

The empress's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
