Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

In the end, Nanny Li didn't know how she got back to the Madam's place. She just felt a daze and found herself in the Madam's courtyard.

When Xu Jingshu was tasting the fruit her husband brought her, she saw Nanny Li coming back.

She looked at the sky outside the window. The sun had not yet set. Why did Nanny Li come back so early?

Is it that Nanny Li didn't teach Xier seriously, or is it that Xier is stupid and made Nanny Li angry?

Xu Jingshu waited until Nanny Li finished paying her respects before she asked nonchalantly, "Nanny Li, why are you back so early?"

Nanny Li's facial muscles twitched and she didn't know how to describe the scene just now.

Finally, she finally thought of an excuse, "The young lady is very talented. After watching the old slave's demonstration once, she can do it smoothly, and there is no fault to be found at all."

Xu Jingshu raised her eyebrows, "Oh? You didn't lie to me?"

Although Xier has been smart since she was young, it is impossible for her to become a genius who can understand everything at a glance when she grows up, right?

It is more likely that Nanny Li was exaggerating.

A hint of coldness flashed across Xu Jingshu's eyes. If this servant dared to lie to her...

Madam Li nodded repeatedly, "It's true, Madam, you can call the young lady to come and have a look. I will never lie to you, Madam!"

After hearing this, Xu Jingshu's expression eased a little. Indeed, it was impossible for Nanny Li to tell such a lie that would be immediately exposed.

But, is there really anyone who can learn it just by taking a look?

Xu Jingshu raised her hand and called the maid Yuping who was waiting beside her, "Go and ask the young lady to come over."

"Yes." Yuping replied calmly.

When Nanny Li thought about seeing the young lady again later, the expression on her face became much stiffer.

Mu Tangxi was not surprised to see Yuping coming to invite him, and happily went to his mother's yard.

Although Dong Zhu was blocked outside the Madam's door by Yu Ping last time, he did not express his dissatisfaction at this moment, but the curve of his mouth dropped a little.

She must not let her emotions affect the young lady.

"Mother, what's the matter with calling me here?"

Mu Tangxi looked at his mother with admiration in his eyes, with an expression of uncontrollable happiness on his face.

When Xu Jingshu saw the pure smile, she couldn't help but pause her eyes on Xier's face, and a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. She hadn't seen such a happy expression for a long time.

After her three sons grew up to understand things, they quickly became mature and steady, even the eight-year-old Jinxi was no exception.

But was Xier so lovable before?

Xu Jingshu seemed to have trouble remembering the Xier of the past, maybe she didn't pay attention.

"I heard from Madam Li that you have learned the etiquette she taught you?"

Xu Jingshu's tone became gentle, as if she suddenly felt a little maternal love for Xier.

But for some reason, Xu Jingshu's gaze always skipped Xier's eyes, and that color made her feel a little unhappy.

Even if this look can bring them considerable benefits.

Mu Tangxi's eyes lit up, "Yes, mother!"

She said in a brisk tone, eager to try, "Mom, let me show you!"

"Okay." Xu Jingshu softened her brows.

Being ignored by the two men, Nanny Li was not unhappy at all. Instead, she shrank into the corner on her own initiative, hoping that no one would even think of her.

Overwhelmed by this learning speed, she didn't want to look the young lady in the eye for the time being.

Mu Tangxi had a smile on her face and there seemed to be stars twinkling in her eyes. Her movements were as smooth as flowing water. She performed them one by one in the order taught by Nanny Li.

When Xu Jingshu actually saw it with her own eyes, she was still surprised.

But immediately, Xu Jingshu's eyes flashed with a stronger expectation. Since Xi'er was so talented, she would eventually get married, so why not...

Xu Jingshu nodded with satisfaction, "Xi'er did a great job, but this is far from enough."

Facing her daughter's puzzled look, Xu Jingshu's smile widened a little, "Xi'er, it's always good for a girl to have some talents. Mother will send some masters to teach you music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc."

Mu Tangxi agreed with a confused look on his face, but his eyes were full of mockery.

My mother is so greedy.

After Mu Tangxi left, even though Yuping was no longer by her side, her facial expression did not change.

The young lady didn't say anything, so Dong Zhu naturally wouldn't speak first.

The master and servant returned to the house in silence. Dong Zhu stepped into the house and closed the door.

"Dongzhu, please go to Fuxiang Pavilion and buy me some osmanthus cake. I suddenly want to eat it."

Mu Tangxi suddenly broke the silence, but what he said made Dong Zhu a little confused. Osmanthus cake?

Miss really liked it before, but why did she suddenly want to eat osmanthus cake?

Mu Tangxi sighed softly, "I'll stop by the bookstore to check out the situation. Fuxiang Pavilion is close to the bookstore, right?"

After being reminded by the young lady, Dong Zhu finally understood the young lady's intention and felt a little annoyed.

Mu Tangxi didn't think Dong Zhu was stupid, he just reminded her casually.

Besides, there will be many more places where she will be needed for work in the future.

What Mu Tangxi is thinking about now is the dissemination effect of the poetry collection.

Does Mu Lianxue know about this now?

If she knew, I wonder how ugly her expression would be.

She was very happy when she thought of Mu Lianxue being angry!

Mu Lianxue said at the beginning that she was the only one who knew these verses, and now she must be worried!

Unfortunately, Shen Qiu was a little slow and still hasn't found where the concubine lives.

Otherwise she would have been able to hear her expression.

However, we cannot blame Shen Qiu entirely for his incompetence. After all, my father never went there during the period when Shen Qiu was following him.

Mu Tangxi felt worried for a moment, wondering if his father hardly went there for a year.

Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that after returning home in the previous life, I had been trying so hard to get close to my father.

If she hadn't shown her talent in writing poetry, her father would have been so annoyed that he would have asked her to go back to her previous residence without caring about her dignity.

In the dim room, the candlelight flickered. Mu Tangxi's face appeared bright and dark under the candlelight, except for her light-colored eyes which were strangely bright.

Dong Zhu walked down the street with a normal expression, approached those who were chatting calmly, and listened attentively to what they were talking about.

"The price of Wang Laoer's pork has increased again. He is really obsessed with money!"

"Who said it wasn't? By the way, I heard that the food at Grandma Zhang's is very fresh. Is this news true?"

"really!"

"Let me tell you, Wang Laoer's shop is on the same street as the poetry bookstore. Seeing that there are so many people, he just raised the price!"

"Huh? Why is it on the same street as that bookstore, with so many people?"

"Don't you know? A few days ago, that bookstore suddenly started to promote a poetry collection they have. Everyone who has read it said it's good. Even if the bookstore has raised the price in the past few days, there are still a steady stream of people buying it!"

The person who was speaking looked around and whispered, "I also saw a few masters buying poetry collections!"

A gleam of light flashed in Dong Zhu's eyes, and the information was obtained effortlessly.
