Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Time flies, and March is here soon.

Mu Tangxi was about to start embroidering a red veil, but unfortunately she couldn't do it well and didn't want to do it either.

So she gave the task of embroidering the red veil to Dongzhu.

After that, she was often called over by her mother for talks, and the general content was to tell her not to forget the Prime Minister's Mansion even after she got married.

Mu Tangxi said that of course she would not forget.

At first, the mother wanted to reduce Mu Tangxi's dowry by half, but as soon as she put that half back into the currency, she was discovered by her father.

Mu Tangxi witnessed the quarrel between his father and mother.

Mu Wenyu frowned and asked, "Why did you reduce Tangxi's dowry by half?"

Xu Jingshu's eyes flickered, and she said unyieldingly, "I'm marrying the Third Prince anyway, and he can't bring us any benefits!"

Moreover, Mu Tangxi is not her biological daughter. If she prepares so much dowry for her, what will happen to Mu Lianxue?

Besides, she had finally persuaded Mu Lianxue to agree to marry the second prince!

That’s the second prince!

At least he is better than the third prince!

Although she is a concubine, as long as they give her a larger dowry and let the Second Prince see how much they value Mu Lianxue, wouldn't they be able to form an alliance with him smoothly?

Mu Wenyu had a completely different idea. In the future, there would only be Mu Tangxi by the side of the Third Prince. Wouldn't it be easy to control the Third Prince?

Moreover, his original target was the Third Prince. Now that the dowry was so much less, would the Third Prince be dissatisfied with them?

Besides...

"Madam, you should understand that this is a marriage granted by His Majesty. Are you expressing your dissatisfaction with His Majesty by doing this?"

This sentence left Xu Jingshu speechless. It really seemed like she was dissatisfied with this marriage.

Xu Jingshu was silent for a long time before she lowered her head and replied, "I know. The dowry will not be small."

Mu Wenyu then looked at Mu Tangxi who was watching on the side.

If Mu Tangxi and Ji Qichen were both spectators, why was Mu Tangxi never discovered while Ji Qichen was discovered every time?

That was thanks to Mu Tangxi's expression management. She always looked at her father and mother with worried eyes.

Ji Qichen's expression clearly showed that he was watching a show, without any fear at all.

If you have the guts, kill him, otherwise he will come again next time!

This is a famous saying that belongs only to Ji Qichen.

At this moment, Mu Wenyu saw his daughter looking at them worriedly, and his eyes softened.

"Tangxi, you're getting married soon, and your mother is just anxious and dizzy. She didn't mean to say these things."

Mu Wenyu even defended his wife for a bit, fearing that Mu Tangxi would simply hate them.

Xu Jingshu also forced a smile and agreed, "Yes, Tangxi."

Mu Tangxi nodded without questioning and accepted his father's explanation.

Mu Wenyu calmly asked Mu Tangxi to leave first, as he had something else to say to Xu Jingshu.

Mu Tangxi obediently left his mother's yard and deliberately stayed at the door for a while.

As expected, I heard my father's questioning voice, "How could you secretly change Tangxi's dowry without discussing it with me?!"

The mother argued, "I am doing this for the good of the Prime Minister's Mansion! Everyone knows that the Third Prince has no desire to ascend to the throne. It would be better to support the Second Prince than the Third Prince!"

Mu Tangxi raised her eyebrows slightly. Second Prince? When did her mother have any relationship with the Second Prince?

Then, his father's voice was raised a little, "When did you become involved with the Second Prince?!"

The mother's voice weakened for a moment, "I..." Then she said confidently, "Didn't the second prince's concubine pass away? It's a good opportunity for Mu Lianxue to marry him!"

Mu Tangxi's eyes moved. The Second Prince's concubine died, so he wanted to marry Mu Lianxue to be the Second Prince's concubine?

Did Mu Lianxue agree?

After a moment of silence in the room, my father finally spoke: "Let me think about this matter. Without my permission, you are not allowed to have anything to do with the Second Prince!"

The mother replied somewhat reluctantly, "I know. I've been busy preparing for Tangxi's marriage recently, and many wives of officials have invited me to banquets!"

My father was puzzled. "You are busy with Tangxi's wedding, why did you take time out to attend the banquet?"

The mother raised her voice a little, "It's not like I only have Tangxi as my daughter! I'm going to see if there's a suitable girl for Jinfeng and the others! Besides, Mu Tangxi isn't my biological daughter!"

Mu Tangxi simply ignored the unimportant part of his mother's words.

Mother wants to find a suitable wife for my eldest brother?

Is there really anyone who would marry their daughter to the eldest brother?

Hmm... when we get back I'll ask Lingyi to check which officials' wives invited mother.

The father immediately spoke up to stop the mother, "What are you talking about! You raised Tangxi, don't you have any affection for her at all?"

The mother sneered, "When I think about her being Lin Xueruo's daughter, I feel sick! When I think about how well I have been to Lin Xueruo's daughter for so many years, I hate her!"

"Now I can still talk to her calmly, which is the limit of my patience!"

Mu Tangxi blinked and listened calmly.

Her mother hated her? It didn't matter, she hated her mother too.

So Mu Tangxi doesn't care.

The father paused and asked suddenly, "What about Lianxue? She is your biological daughter. Do you have any affection for her?"

"Of course!"

The father was silenced for a moment by the mother's matter-of-fact look, "So your family affection is to marry Mu Lianxue to the second prince as a concubine?"

My father's voice sounded a little strange.

Mu Wenyu knew that his wife had grown up in the love of her family, but she had plenty of love but was reluctant to give it away.

She greedily wants others to look at her, but is unwilling to give equal love.

Just like an unreasonable child.

Mu Wenyu only needs to appear to love her on the surface.

Lin Xueruo, whom he truly loves, will give him the same love, or even more than that.

Who in the world doesn't like to be loved?

So he doesn't like Xu Jingshu, but likes Lin Xueruo.

Mother: "What's wrong? The Second Prince has a bright future. How can the Third Prince compare to him?"

My father didn't comment and stopped talking.

He would not tell his plan to his wife, he did not trust her.

He is the only one who knows about this.

Mu Tangxi also left her mother's yard. She had heard everything she wanted to hear.

Walking slowly back to her room, Mu Tangxi looked at Dongzhu, who was sitting on a chair and concentrating on embroidering patterns, for a long time.

Dongzhu...is really amazing.

The embroidered patterns are delicate and intricate, and the gold and silver threads sparkle under the light.

Mu Tangxi did not disturb Dong Zhu, but went to the desk and began to plan how to use Mu Lianxue as a bait to destroy the second prince if the second prince really married Mu Lianxue as a concubine.
