Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

After risking his life to follow Prime Minister Mu for ten days, Shen Qiu had to return empty-handed. He suddenly suspected that Miss Mu had deceived him. Did Prime Minister Mu really have a mistress?

Maybe Miss Mu was teasing him on purpose?

But Shen Qiu recalled Miss Mu's eyes that day. It didn't seem like she was lying. There was no intense disgust in her eyes, only a sense of control that showed she saw through everything.

He sighed and reported to Miss Mu first.

Taking the opportunity to check Miss Mu's pulse, Shen Qiu came to her yard again. Thinking of the last scene, Shen Qiu's eyelids couldn't help but tremble.

He took a deep breath and tried to overcome his fear.

He stepped into Miss Mu's room in one go, raised his head stiffly and looked at her, his voice trembling slightly, "Miss Mu, I followed the Prime Minister for ten days, but he showed no signs of looking for his mistress."

Mu Tangxi was not surprised at all. She had seen before that her father was very tolerant of this.

Besides, if my father went to his mistress very frequently, my mother would have found out long ago and dealt with the two of them in secret. Would she have waited until she reached the age of 15 for my father to bring them back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?

She looked at Shen Qiu's uneasy face and soothed him, "Take your time. Father won't leave any loopholes for himself. He won't go to the mistress's room very often."

After hearing this, Shen Qiu felt relieved. Thinking about it this way, he was indeed a little impatient. If he followed the Prime Minister for ten days and the Prime Minister went to the outer room, wouldn't it increase the possibility of being discovered?

Since the concubine has given birth to a daughter and no one has discovered it, it shows that the prime minister is very cautious.

"Then I will take my leave first."

Just as Shen Qiu was about to turn around and leave after he finished speaking, he was stopped by the young lady.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Qiu looked at Miss Mu in confusion. Is there anything else? He should have reported everything he was supposed to report. Did he forget to report something?

A hint of interest appeared in Mu Tangxi's light-colored eyes, and she curled the corners of her lips slightly, "Shen Qiu, have you forgotten something?"

Shen Qiu's body froze and he stood still, his mind frantically wondering what he had forgotten!

Mu Tangxi watched with interest the way Shen Qiu racked his brains. It was indeed very interesting.

She had originally planned that after Shen Qiu told her the evil recipe, she would test it on Shen Qiu to see if the final effect was the same as she imagined.

As for tracking down my father and finding out the mistress, it is not a very urgent matter. It doesn't matter even if we never find her. Anyway, my father will only focus on who can bring him more benefits.

And she, who was not disfigured, obviously brought more benefits than Mu Lianxue, who had lost her "talent" to compose poetry.

But now Mu Tangxi has changed her mind. She plans to let Shen Qiu live longer and see more secrets. It will not be too late to conduct experiments then.

"You haven't told me the contents of the recipe yet."

Shen Qiu listened to Miss Mu's words that sounded like both complaints and coquettishness, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally died.

He raised his eyes with a desperate look, "Miss Mu, why are you so curious about this recipe? Most of the herbs in it are very common, but the most important part is a rare herb."

"And that special herb is only passed down from my ancestors. It can't be found anywhere else."

Shen Qiu felt that after he finished speaking, his whole body became clear. After speaking out those secrets that he had been holding in his heart, he felt relaxed all over.

Mu Tangxi was a little surprised that Shen Qiu said it so directly. She thought she had to wait a while.

However, from his answer, Mu Tangxi finally understood why he had never heard of the existence of this recipe.

It turns out it’s made from their ancestral herbs!

Except for the herbs they have, they are probably all extinct.

Dong Zhu thought she had seen a lot of big scenes, so she remained calm when she heard these things.

Doctor Shen's prescription only sounds scary, he didn't really gouge out the eyes, it was all invented by his ancestors.

It was nothing as shocking as the fact that the master had a mistress, and that the mistress had a daughter who was the same age as the young lady.

Besides, who would dig out one's eyes and preserve them with a prescription? Doing that would probably give you nightmares at night!

Only people with evil intentions would do such a thing.

There was another point that made Dong Zhu quickly accept Shen Qiu's secret. The young lady could only trust and use the two of them. If Shen Qiu was kicked out, wouldn't she be the only one who could be used?

It will be inconvenient for the lady to do things this way!

"Then Doctor Shen, will you use this prescription on others?" Mu Tangxi addressed Shen Qiu respectfully again.

Shen Qiu looked surprised. He didn't know why Miss Mu would ask him such a question.

But he still frowned and replied, "Of course not. I am not the kind of person who would take human life lightly."

Gouging out a person's eyes is no minor injury and could directly cost the person's life.

Besides, human eyes are not as beautiful as gems, so who would like them?

However, Shen Qiu paused and glanced at Miss Mu secretly, but the lady's eyes were the most beautiful he had ever seen.

Even ordinary gems cannot compare to the color of the young lady's eyes.

Like flowing gold pieces, sparkling in the sun.

But, now he is the only one who knows about it. No, including the young lady and Dong Zhu, there should be three people who know about it. The young lady is absolutely safe!

Mu Tangxi thought Shen Qiu was really weird. Was he lying to her, or was he really a good person now?

She was even more looking forward to meeting Mu Lianxue. She really wanted to know how she had convinced Shen Qiu to use that recipe!

"Yeah."

Mu Tangxi lowered her eyes, obviously she didn't hear a satisfactory answer.

"Then you continue to follow father, and follow my eldest brother as well."

Mu Tangxi spoke softly.

In Shen Qiu's opinion, it was like a bolt of lightning suddenly struck from the sky!

He coughed a few times in disbelief, simply frightened by the young lady's request.

He couldn't understand. The young lady wanted him to follow the prime minister because of his concubine and his child, so why was he following her elder brother now?

Could it be that her elder brother also has a mistress?

Mu Tangxi looked at Shen Qiu's complicated expression and kindly answered him.

"Because my father gave up my eldest brother, he had to train his own subordinates for future power. However, most of the people in his courtyard are my father's people."

"So he will only look for slaves from outside who are easiest to control and won't betray him!"

"But he couldn't bring these slaves into the mansion openly, otherwise father would think that my eldest brother wanted to rebel against him."

"So, he would just place those slaves outside."

"You need to find that place."

Shen Qiu was confused when he heard this. Wasn't the young lady only ten years old? How did she come up with these ideas?

"But," Shen Qiu looked at the young lady in embarrassment, "I'm alone and don't have time to watch two people at the same time."

"It's okay, you can do it. Father doesn't leave the house often, so there's no need to keep an eye on him all the time. As for my eldest brother, just follow the servant beside him."

Shen Qiu was speechless and could only nod.
