Not to mention killing Mr. Mu, it was impossible to even make Mr. Mu give in.
The day after Princess Mingyue was sent back, Princess Consort Shun went to Prince Mu's Mansion, only to find its gates tightly shut, being told that both Mr. Mu and Prince Mu were out and not available.
Princess Consort Shun waited a whole day, but didn't see anyone.
Princess Mingyue, unable to see her daughter Ah Ning, wept bitterly, refusing to eat or drink.
Princess Consort Shun entered the palace to plead with the Empress Dowager, unaware that Princess Consort Mu had already gotten there first to complain through tears.
She said that her brother, Mr. Mu, was the only male in the family. Having been married to Princess Mingyue for several years, Princess Mingyue only gave birth to a daughter, while several of his concubines had gotten pregnant, mysteriously all ended up miscarrying.
