Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Xu Jingshu's expression was very similar to Mu Jinfeng's expression when he was taken away. What did she do?

Although I just heard that Jinfeng was taken away by people from the palace, why are they taking her away now?

Did Mu Jinfeng say something wrong?

Xu Jingshu was full of confusion and got into the carriage. Just like Mu Jinfeng did, she gave a bag of silver to the eunuch next to her and asked the reason.

The eunuch was so happy that he went crazy. He really made a fortune today!

Before, Mr. Mu gave a bag of silver, and now the Prime Minister’s wife also gave a bag of silver!

The eunuch's face was full of smiles. He took the silver and said, "Madam, His Majesty is investigating whether the Prime Minister is related to the assassination of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the Prime Minister is too seriously injured and cannot enter the palace now, so..."

"This time, I called Madam here because Mr. Mu is not clear about something, so he wants you to explain it."

The eunuch actually didn’t know what was going on inside. He was just a small eunuch who ran errands.

But that didn't stop him from talking nonsense.

Xu Jingshu calmed down, for she was afraid that her master was really involved in the assassination of the prince.

She walked into the side hall with a smile on her face, but as soon as she entered, Jin Feng gave her a look.

Xu Jingshu:?

What's going on here?

She quickly turned to look at Mu Tangxi, trying to find some clues from her.

In the end, Mu Tangxi didn't even look at her, but looked at Ji Qichen, still whispering something.

Xu Jingshu was feeling uneasy, but she managed to keep a steady expression on her face and paid her respects to His Majesty and the Queen.

The emperor didn't want to be polite anymore and asked directly, "Why is there a missing 10,000 taels of gold in the account book of the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xu Jingshu:?!

How could His Majesty know this?

This sudden question caused Xu Jingshu to lose control of her expression for a moment.

As soon as the emperor saw the expression on the prime minister's wife's face, he knew there must be something fishy going on.

Mu Tangxi then looked towards her mother with a slight smile on her face. She did not panic even when she accidentally made eye contact with the Second Prince.

Instead, she smiled at him calmly and continued to look at her mother.

The second prince just thought that Mu Tangxi was weird!

She wasn't as nervous as Mu Jinfeng at all, and she was even smiling?!

Xu Jingshu didn't know how to explain, so she kept silent for a while, but as His Majesty's gaze became more and more serious and dangerous, she still spoke: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter!"

"Maybe it was a mistake."

The queen couldn't bear it any longer. This was the most likely direction to find clues!

"Tell the truth! Otherwise, let the people from the Dali Temple investigate!"

Xu Jingshu's expression froze. She had deliberately taken out 10,000 taels of gold from the account book because she was mad at the master, and then...

The emperor also put more pressure on Xu Jingshu: "If you don't tell me, I will take you to the Ministry of Punishment and torture you severely!"

Xu Jingshu:? !!!

She only took 10,000 taels of gold from her own family, not from the national treasury. Is it that serious?!

"Your Majesty, I say!"

"I'm the one who's offering a reward for a miracle doctor! Even if the master can stand and walk after being diagnosed, he won't be able to walk for long, so I want to find a miracle doctor who can cure the master!"

After being pushed, Xu Jingshu's brain became a little smarter and she spoke directly.

The more I talk, the more logical it seems.

The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he asked in a solemn tone, "Oh? Really? Then why did you falsify the account book instead of taking the money openly?"

Xu Jingshu curled her lips and said, "I want to give you a surprise, and if I can't find it, you won't be too disappointed."

Mu Jinfeng looked at his mother in surprise. Is this true?

The scene of his mother and father hating each other in the Prime Minister's Mansion brought him to his senses.

Mother is probably making excuses.

Since my father has always been partial to Aunt Lin, how could my mother think of hiring a miracle doctor for him?

Anyway, Mu Jinfeng felt that his mother couldn't do it, so it would be more in line with his mother's style for him to take out the 12,000 taels of gold and spend it himself.

The Queen was merciless, "Then I'll ask someone to investigate!"

Xu Jingshu's face turned pale. Why did she want to get to the bottom of this?

She took the gold from her mansion, why are His Majesty and His Majesty so interested?

Xu Jingshu simply knelt down and confessed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I just made a slip of the tongue. I just couldn't stand the fact that the master favored Aunt Lin, so I wanted to vent my anger."

The emperor and the queen were silent now, their eyes full of disappointment, but they still asked one last question: "Where did you put the 10,000 taels of gold?"

Xu Jingshu lowered her head with a guilty conscience, "I buried it in the ground near the flower garden."

emperor:……

Queen:......

They thought...

Forget it.

At the same time, Qingyun in the Prime Minister's Mansion took the young master to the flower garden.

Mu Jinrong looked confused, "Qingyun, why did you bring me here?"

Qingyun smiled and said, "Didn't the young master say that he wanted to kill the lady?"

"Although I cannot help the young master kill the lady, I can tell the young master about the gold that the lady buried."

Mu Jinrong asked in confusion: "Gold?"

Qingyun smiled and nodded: "Yes, gold. Madam secretly took out 10,000 taels of gold from the account, and I think this is an opportunity."

Mu Jinrong thought for a moment, "If this 10,000 taels of gold disappeared, would Madam be in big trouble?"

His young face was full of joy. "Then I'll ask Qingyun to dig out the gold. But where should we put it?"

Qingyun blinked, and the smile on his face deepened: "Why not bury it in your mother's yard? That way the lady will never find it."

Mu Jinrong agreed decisively: "Okay!"

Qingyun waved his hand and several servants started digging the ground.

She told the young master about this matter in order not to arouse the old master's suspicion, and the young master could explain a few words beside her.

Although she really wanted to give the gold to her master, she later thought that it would be inconvenient to hide the gold since her master was in the palace.

Besides, if we put it in Aunt Lin's yard first, the owner will not be implicated if anything happens.

The emperor waved his hand and asked someone to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion for inspection.

Naturally, he would not believe what the Prime Minister's wife said.

As a result, the people sent by the emperor came back empty-handed. "Your Majesty, no 10,000 taels of gold were found in the flower garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Xu Jingshu sat up from her chair and said, "Impossible!"

She suddenly realized that things were not simple, and the assassination of the prince must not involve the Prime Minister's Mansion!

"You must have not looked carefully enough! It's clearly in the flower garden!"

The emperor's face became increasingly unsightly, and he felt like he was being made fun of.

"You lead your troops to surround the Prime Minister's residence and search the entire mansion!"

"If we can't find the 10,000 taels of gold in the Prime Minister's Mansion today, Madam Prime Minister won't have to go back!"
