Chapter 1757: Chapter 1750: If Lu Mian dares to touch you, I dare to hit him!

Leng Muling’s face immediately turned red, her cheeks like two red clouds, intensely hot.

Just when she thought Mo Qi was going to do something, he flipped her entire body over, letting her lie on the rock while he gently applied medicine to her back.

Mo Qi always carried golden wound medicine with him, and he was exceedingly cautious when using it on Leng Muling.

Looking at the scar on Leng Muling’s back, the hostility emanating from him was exceptionally intense, "Lu Mian brought disaster upon you, causing you injury, and yet dared to hit you!"

He found the work of civil officials too easy!

"Mo Qi, don’t concern yourself with him. We were all misled by my uncle. Lu Mian was furious when he came over; he surely thought something was going on between us. My uncle has too much malicious intent... He’s simply impossible to guard against!"

Leng Muling bit her teeth in helplessness, really wanting to go back and have a good argument with her uncle, asking him what exactly he wanted!

"Nevertheless, he shouldn’t have hit you! What kind of useful man in this world would hit a woman? Besides, you are his... nominal wife!"

Mo Qi held back a wave of anger, his face turning pale.

He had vowed never to disturb Leng Muling, only to protect her silently.

He would never force her, never do anything to embarrass her!

But when she was truly harmed by Lu Mian...

He couldn’t stay out of it!

He sent Leng Muling back to the carriage of the Lu residence, turned around, mounted his horse, and hurried toward the imperial prison.

Zhuo Junli leisurely arrived in his carriage and greeted Mo Qi, "Commander Mo, you must be careful in your actions to avoid damaging your reputation... Hey, you."

Mo Qi’s cloak flapped fiercely, and the steed whinnied as it rushed past him, ignoring him completely.

Zhuo Junli chuckled softly and headed with Yun Sijin toward Leng Muling.

Leng Muling was changing clothes in the carriage, while Leng Qiu stood guard outside. Seeing Yun Sijin arrive, she opened the door and let her in.

Yun Sijin boarded the carriage and, seeing Leng Muling’s severely injured back, furrowed her brows, "How did you get hurt so badly?"

Zhuo Junli knew she was destined for misfortune, but she didn’t know this group of people would injure Leng Muling so severely.

If she had known, she would have persuaded Zhuo Junli to stop this matter as soon as possible.

"Auntie and my uncle must have known about my impending calamity early on, didn’t they?" Leng Muling gasped in pain, sweat rolling down her cheeks and falling in large drops.

Yun Sijin gently helped her dress, speaking in a deep voice, "This time, your uncle failed to protect you properly; I apologize on his behalf."

"My uncle did it intentionally! The more severely I am hurt, the more seventh brother feels distressed. He certainly won’t spare Lu Mian. If Lu Mian suffers, no one in the court will oppose him!"

Whether it’s implementing new policies or dealing with the old ministers who are discontented with them for the Crown Prince, he can do it boldly and decisively.

If anyone in the court dares oppose him again, they will first consider Lu Mian’s fate; this is a plan to eliminate problems at the root—an exemplary act by her uncle!

Yun Sijin sighed and pressed her lips, "You are as smart as your uncle."

She seemed to need no pretentious words; Leng Muling just had to think about the cause and effect, and she understood everything.

Leng Muling wasn’t really angry; she married Lu Mian to help her uncle bring him down.

But...

Leng Muling’s dilemma was, "My uncle also dragged Mo Qi into this mess; what if he gets implicated in the future? He holds an important position and has been the emperor’s close confidant for many years. If he makes a mistake..."
