Seeing that Mu Lianxue did not raise any more objections, Xu Jingshu's expression gradually softened and she advised: "The Second Prince is likely to ascend the throne, so even if you become a concubine, it would be great."

Mu Lianxue asked in confusion, "Isn't there still a crown prince? He has a greater chance of ascending the throne!"

Xu Jingshu spoke patiently, "The prince already has a wife and two concubines. Even if you choose him, you can only be a concubine."

"And throughout history, how many princes have you seen eventually ascend to the throne?"

Mu Lianxue understood that it was indeed rare for a prince to actually ascend the throne.

But what kind of concubine is that? She wants to be the principal wife! The only principal wife!

Mu Lianxue asked unwillingly, "Can't you kill the Second Prince's current wife first? Then I can marry him and become his wife!"

Xu Jingshu: ...

Did Mu Lianxue forget? Her current identity is just a concubine's daughter. Marrying her as a concubine is already the best. How can she want to be the main wife? !

All the dignitaries in the capital city wanted to have the honor of being the Second Prince's follower, not to mention the Second Prince's principal wife. Even the concubines were fiercely contested.

He also wanted to kill the second prince's current wife...

She was the wife chosen by the Second Prince who could bring him the greatest benefits. If she was really killed by Mu Lianxue, the Second Prince might have killed Mu Lianxue.

Xu Jingshu suddenly became hesitant about her choice. It seemed that Mu Lianxue was not suitable to marry into the Second Prince's Mansion. She felt that marrying there would also bring discredit to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So Xu Jingshu changed the subject and said, "I heard that you have a good relationship with Pan Qingkong, the son of the Minister of War?"

The Minister of War could also be chosen, but Pan Mo is the prince's subordinate, so the involvement between them still needs to be carefully considered.

Mu Lianxue nodded upon hearing this and said confidently: "Although I have only met Master Pan twice, Master Pan has been very kind to me."

Xu Jingshu thought for a while and said, "You can continue to have a relationship with Master Pan, but you must be careful about the limits."

She was afraid that the Second Prince would look down on Mu Lianxue, so she had to find a backup option.

Mu Lianxue nodded, "Okay, mother."

Xu Jingshu looked at her biological daughter with mixed feelings. If Mu Lianxue had come to her earlier, she might have been able to find a better marriage for her. Unfortunately...

"By the way, is the wound on your face better?"

The most useful thing about Mu Lianxue is her beautiful face. If she were to be left with a scar, she would no longer have time to dream of becoming the Second Prince or Master Pan.

Mu Lianxue touched the bandage on her face, and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes.

She forced a smile and said, "I feel better now. The beauty cream my mother gave me is very useful."

When she thought of the wound on her face, she hated Mu Jinfeng even more. He actually dared to slash her face with a dagger!

Xu Jingshu was still worried. She waved away the servants and waved her hand, "Let mother see your wound."

Mu Lianxue was stunned for a moment. Was her mother caring about her?

She pursed her lips and walked forward, slowly removing the bandages wrapped around her face, revealing the hideous wound underneath.

Xu Jingshu's breathing stagnated. She concealed the disgust in her eyes and touched Mu Lianxue's face gently, pretending to be affectionate. "Does it hurt?"

Mu Lianxue's eyelashes trembled, and a trace of tears flashed in her eyes, "It hurts, mother."

Does her mother love her?

Every mother loves her children, right?

In the past, Lin Xueruo distanced herself from her only because she knew that she was not her biological daughter.

But the biological mother in front of her will feel sorry for her!

That's why mother loves her!

Mu Lianxue longs for the love of her family and wants unique family affection.

So don't compete with her for your mother's attention!

As long as she kills all her other children, her mother will only focus on her!

Xu Jingshu sighed, "Mother didn't ask someone to teach you to punish you, but to train you to be a woman who can surpass Mu Tangxi."

"I used to think Mu Tangxi was my child, and I hired many teachers to teach her, but now you are my biological daughter, so I want you to be the best one."

Mu Lianxue seemed unwilling to learn these days, and the servants had already come to report it, so Xu Jingshu could only use soft words to fool her.

Otherwise, if you really don't want to learn, it will seriously hinder your learning progress.

As her daughter, it's impossible that she can't even do such a small thing? !

Mu Lianxue opened her eyes wide. It turned out that her mother wanted her to become better than Mu Tangxi, so she made her learn so many things!

"Mother, I will study hard! I will definitely surpass Mu Tangxi!"

Xu Jingshu looked at Mu Lianxue's back as she hurriedly left to study. After the figure completely disappeared from her sight, she frowned and the smile on her face disappeared.

"Yu Luo, wipe my hands!"

She had been enduring for a long time, and her face was uneven and particularly prickly.

And that face is so disgusting!

Xu Jingshu fiercely took the handkerchief from Yu Luo's hand and wiped her hands vigorously. She shouldn't have touched her face!

This face will take a long time to recover, so she can't go out during this period.

"Yu Luo, keep an eye on Mu Lianxue. Don't let her slip out of the house, otherwise..."

After Xu Jingshu finished speaking, she sneered a few times, and the threat in her words was self-evident.

Yu Luo lowered his head and responded.

Mu Jinrong didn't have a suitable person to test the medicine, so he had to go back to the woodshed and ask the tied servants to help test the medicine.

They are going to die soon anyway, so it doesn't matter even if it's poison.

It’s just like dying a few days earlier!

There was a hint of coldness in Mu Jinrong's eyes, but when he arrived at their place, his expression turned innocent again.

"Please help me try this medicine."

The servants had no option to refuse and could only nod and agree to this.

Mu Jinrong simply poured out a handful of powder and threw it on their faces, very simply and roughly.

He kept counting the time in his mind until the tenth second when they fell to the ground and fainted.

Mu Jinrong cautiously felt their breath to make sure they were still alive.

So this packet of powder is indeed a drug, and its effect is average.

Mu Jinrong thought that they would faint immediately as long as he waved it on their faces, but it took ten seconds for it to take effect.

However, it may also be because the amount he just used was relatively small, so it could not achieve the effect of knocking down the person in one second.

Since it’s hard to control the dosage, just try it slowly. There are still many servants anyway.

There are also a lot of medicinal powders.

After a long period of attempts, Mu Jinrong finally discovered that he had to grab a handful of medicine powder and sprinkle it on the person to make him unconscious. The unconsciousness would last for about an hour, which was enough!

After trying the medicine, Mu Jinrong left with the powder. Now is not a good time, so he is not in a hurry!

Let him think about when is the best time to take action...

A time of confusion? A time when a father is tired? A time to let down his guard.
