Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

In the Second Prince's Mansion, Yi Linlang numbly dealt with the mess of the Second Prince's concubine.

However, what made Yi Linlang feel relieved was that the second prince had not returned yet.

Suddenly a maid came over and reported: "Madam, there is a maid from Miss Mu at the door and said she came to bring you something."

Yi Linlang was stunned for a moment, and her eyes seemed to brighten a little, "Please come in."

Qingyun adjusted her skirt, looking calm and composed as if she had not just walked out of a sea of ​​fire.

If the Prime Minister's Mansion had not been suddenly burned down by Second Miss Mu, she would not have come to the Second Prince's Mansion so late.

It was getting dark, and the Second Prince might be coming back soon.

Gotta speed it up.

Qingyun thought that the Second Prince would be back soon, but she didn't know that the Second Prince still wanted a young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion to be his concubine, and had no intention of returning home so soon.

Yi Linlang looked at the unfamiliar Qingyun and frowned slightly, "Are you Tangxi's maid?"

Qingyun bowed first, "Yes, this is the osmanthus cake and fruit tea that the young lady prepared for you."

These two things are considered the specialties of Tangxi. Every time Yi Linlang goes to her place, she can see osmanthus cake and fruit tea.

She pinched a little and tasted it, and it was indeed that familiar taste.

Qingyun complained inwardly, these were the osmanthus cake and fruit tea from the restaurant that she had obtained from Lingyi with great difficulty.

Because the fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion was originally started by Mu Lianxue in the kitchen.

Moreover, the chefs in the restaurant are all the ladies' men, so it is easy for them to make food that tastes the same.

Yi Linlang's attitude towards Qingyun improved a little, but she still asked doubtfully: "Is there something your young lady wants you to come for?"

Qingyun looked at the maids around Yi Linlang with some embarrassment.

Yi Linlang waved her hand knowingly and asked the other maids to leave.

The maid beside her left obediently.

The moment the door closed, Qingyun took out a letter from his sleeve and gave it to Yi Linlang.

Yi Linlang took it and opened it. It was indeed Tangxi's handwriting. It was just a letter, why did he let a maid deliver it to the mansion?

Weren’t they delivered to your door before?

Yi Linlang's thoughts were churning, but when she saw the contents of the letter, her thoughts stopped for a moment.

Tangxi mentioned in the letter that she accidentally overheard the conversation between her mother and Mu Lianxue, and learned that she and Mu Lianxue had swapped identities.

And the most important thing is that my mother plans to marry Mu Lianxue to the second prince as a concubine.

I hope Linlang can take care of herself.

Yi Linlang: ...

The amount of information was a bit overwhelming, so she took a moment to calm down.

No wonder Tangxi asked the maid to deliver the letter to her. The content of the letter really needs to be handled with caution.

She didn't know which content was more shocking.

How did Tangxi get swapped? !

The protection of the Prime Minister's Mansion is too weak!

And that Mu Lianxue is the daughter of a concubine, right?

How could this exchange happen so coincidentally? Yi Linlang felt that there was something strange about it.

Maybe someone set up a trap to trick others into saying that Tangxi is not the Prime Minister's wife's child.

And Mu Lianxue wants to marry the second prince as a concubine? This is a bit tricky.

But the tricky thing is not Mu Lianxue, but the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion behind Mu Lianxue.

After all, it was easy for her to get rid of a concubine, but she didn't know whether the Prime Minister's Mansion would retaliate against her for this.

Yi Linlang was silent for a moment and asked, "Is Mu Lianxue favored in the Prime Minister's Mansion? What kind of person is she?"

Qingyun didn't know how to describe it for a moment. Mu Lianxue had already surpassed her understanding.

She did everything, including framing her brothers, killing people and setting fires.

Qingyun felt that when the three young masters woke up, Mu Lianxue might be killed.

But what if any of the three young masters couldn’t make it and died?

So Qingyun made all the necessary preparations.

"Second Miss Mu," Qingyun said with great discretion, "She has a beautiful face, but she was accidentally cut by a dagger earlier, and she is still wearing a bandage."

"She is... a very vindictive person."

If you have a grudge, take revenge.

"The Prime Minister's wife favors her more."

Yi Linlang listened to Qingyun's hesitant narration in confusion.

Accidentally got slashed on the face by a dagger? Disfigured?

How could you be so careless?

Yi Linlang suppressed her curiosity and decided to pretend she didn't know about this matter.

But if it's still bandaged, does that mean the wound hasn't healed yet?

Are you a penny-pinching person?

Yi Linlang paused. With this personality, she couldn’t imagine what Mu Lianxue was like.

However, the last sentence that the Prime Minister's wife doted on Mu Lianxue still made her feel relieved.

This shows that the Prime Minister doesn't think much of Mu Lianxue.

Yes, one is a noble lady who has been trained since childhood and is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the other is a person who grew up away from home and is now in a disfigured state.

As long as you are not blind, everyone knows who to choose!

One of them is not threatening in appearance, and his only family background is the prime minister's wife to help him.

Very easy to handle.

As long as they are not too arrogant and unwilling to listen, it will be fine.

After reading it carefully, Yi Linlang placed the letter on the burning candle in front of Qingyun, letting it slowly turn into ashes.

Qingyun curled the corners of his lips slightly. He is a smart man and worthy of being the young lady's friend.

"Then Qingyun will take his leave."

Yi Linlang nodded.

Qingyun walked slowly in the huge Second Prince's Mansion. When passing a corner, he was bumped by a hurried servant.

The maid who led the way didn't notice anything wrong and continued walking forward.

Qingyun did not stop and left the Second Prince's Mansion smoothly.

After she walked into the private room of the restaurant, she took out a booklet from her sleeve.

After flipping through it roughly, I confirmed that it contained the names of officials who had formed a clique with the second prince, as well as the names, birthplaces, and personalities of some of his staff.

Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the item was correct.

She carefully put it into the secret compartment in the private room.

This private room is exclusively for the young lady and the third prince, and only the young lady and they know about this secret compartment.

So it is safe.

As for why it was not handed over to Shen Qiu, who was still working in the basement of the restaurant?

Of course it’s because of distrust.

It's normal for the young lady not to trust Shen Qiu. She can't let Shen Qiu know everything she knows.

If Shen Qiu betrayed the young lady, it would be a fatal blow.

Although someone was secretly following Shen Qiu and observing his every move, and could kill him if anything went wrong, he still had to be vigilant.

Qingyun pushed open the door of the private room, and Qingfeng was already standing in front of the door waiting.

Shen Qiu was still buried in account books and letters.

Lingyi was watching Qin Mu's every move.

The Second Prince was still chatting with Mu Lianxue, but soon he took the initiative and began to dominate the content of the conversation.

If Mu Lianxue wasn't unaware of her father's daily behavior, the Second Prince might have known about it.

Mu Tangxi analyzed the Second Prince's words calmly. She wanted to learn, so she was learning.

No one teaches you this kind of thing, you can only figure it out on your own.

The Second Prince is very tactful in his dealings, and his tone and choice of words are very particular, which is well worth learning!
