陸息駱提婆詔改姓為穆，陸。 Lu ordered Mu Tipo by edict to take the surnames Mu and Lu.

后既以陸為母，提婆為家，更不采輕霄。 Having taken Lu as her mother and Tipo as her kin, the empress no longer acknowledged Qingxiao.

初，定遠弟季略，穆提婆求其伎妾，定遠不許。 Earlier, Dingyuan's younger brother Jilue had a performing concubine. Mutipo demanded her; Dingyuan refused.

因高思好作亂，提婆令臨淮國郎中令告定遠陰與思好通。 When Gao Sihao rose in rebellion, Mutipo had the Linhuai principality's director accuse Dingyuan of secret dealings with Sihao.

穆提婆求娶光庶女，不許。 Mu Tipo asked to marry Guang's concubine-born daughter; permission was refused.

帝賜提婆晉陽之田，光言於朝曰：「此田神武帝以來常種禾，飼馬數千匹，以擬寇難，今賜提婆，無乃闕軍務也？」 The emperor bestowed on Tipo fields at Jinyang. Guang said at court, "These fields since the Shenwu Emperor have always been sown with grain to feed several thousand horses against enemy raids. To give them to Tipo now — will this not cripple military affairs?"

提婆聞之，以告其母令萱。 Tipo heard of it and told his mother Ling Xuan.

是時陸令萱外干朝政，其子穆提婆愛幸。 Lu Lingxuan then meddled in court affairs from outside, and her son Mu Tipo stood in favor.

帝以問韓長鸞、穆提婆，幷令高元海、段士良密議之，衆人未從。 The emperor consulted Han Changluan and Mu Tipo and secretly ordered Gao Yuanhai and Duan Shiliang to weigh the matter; none of them would go along.

孝卿密告高元海，元海語侯呂芬、穆提婆云：「孝徵漢兒，兩眼又不見物，豈合作領軍也？」 Xiaqing secretly warned Gao Yuanhai. Yuanhai told Hou Lü Fen and Mu Tipo, "Xiaozheng is a Han man, and his eyes can barely make out a thing — how is he fit to command the guards?"

陸媼、穆提婆議頗同異。 Lu Matron and Mu Tipo argued on opposite sides.

珽乃諷御史中丞麗伯侓令劾主書王子沖納賄，知其事連穆提婆，欲使贓罪相及，望因此坐，幷及陸媼。 Ting therefore nudged vice director of the censorate Li Boju to impeach chief clerk Wang Zichong for bribery, knowing the case would rope in Mu Tipo — he meant the taint of graft to spread and pull Lu Matron down with them.

時穆提婆憾之不已，欲令城陷沒賊，雖知危急，不遣救援。 Mu Tipo still hated him without end and wished the city would fall to the bandits. Though he knew the peril was acute, he sent no rescue.
