Xu Jingshu rushed to Xier's yard with a grim look on her face. She didn't mean to ignore Xier, it was just that Fenger's condition was more serious!

As she thought about it, the guilt in her heart slowly dissipated. That's right, Xier was just unconscious, but her brother's future was ruined because of the scar on his face.

But...Xier won't have a scar either!

This won’t do. Their Prime Minister’s Mansion cannot lose two useful children at once!

The disfigured Feng'er can no longer pursue a career as a civil servant and can only choose to pursue a career as a military officer, during which time her life may be in danger.

Xier is the only daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She needs to be well-educated, talented, beautiful, intelligent and obedient, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and more importantly, she needs to have a beautiful face!

It is said that what the superiors do is what the subordinates follow. The current emperor has clearly expressed his preference for people with good looks, and this is true for both ministers and people in the palace.

So when she learned that her daughter had a special eye color, she was ecstatic, and this also made her and her master have greater ambitions.

Become a royal relative!

People with beautiful appearance will always get more benefits. Even if she cannot enter the harem, she can marry someone else in a high position.

Xu Jingshu is not completely without mother-daughter love, but compared with her son, her daughter makes her see greater benefits.

She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, with a look of great worry on her face, and walked quickly into Mu Tangxi's room.

The moment she stepped into the house, she noticed the quiet atmosphere inside, a maid guarding the bed, and a doctor far away from the bed.

She paused in surprise. Such a rare scene made her feel guilty and loving towards Xier for the first time in a long time.

When the doctor told her that Xier was fine now, but would have a high fever tonight and she didn't know whether she could survive it, she was silent for a while.

Xu Jingshu wiped her tears and approached Xier. Looking at her lying pale and weak on the bed, she couldn't help feeling a little worried. After all, Xier was only ten years old. She didn't know if she could withstand the high fever.

The young doctor Shen Qiu left after seeing that the lady had understood the situation and that the young lady was being watched.

After walking out of the young lady's yard, Shen Qiu breathed a sigh of relief. The lady seemed to be very concerned about the young lady. She just went to see the eldest master who was more seriously injured first.

When the lady came in, Dong Zhu immediately and nervously withdrew his gaze, and even his breathing became lighter, for fear that the lady would vent her anger on him.

But the lady only stayed for a while and then left. Dong Zhu felt relieved and felt more pity for the young lady.

Mu Tangxi's long eyelashes fluttered gently like butterfly wings, and there was a very sober look in her light-colored eyes.

She had woken up a long time ago, but if she woke up earlier than her elder brother, then she would have gained nothing and might even be scolded for not persuading her brother.

But if she wakes up later than her older brother, she will gain the pity and forgiveness of her father and mother, and she won't even have to face her older brother's distorted emotions.

Mu Tangxi smiled slightly. Her mother in her previous life never came to see her. She just asked a servant to come and give her some instructions. After that, she was disgusted by her ugly face and refused to let her see anyone. She had to cover her face with a veil at all times.

Well, she seemed to be becoming more and more like a family with them.

Since they are a family, they can't favor one over the other. They should also feel the pain she felt in her previous life. This is called sharing weal and woe, right?

She slowly raised her hand and touched the injured part of her head. She pressed lightly and felt a stinging pain instantly.

Mu Tangxi felt the pain with some pleasure, because it meant that everything that was happening now was not a dream, it was real!

She closed her eyes contentedly, and Dong Zhu did not notice her brief opening of her eyes.

As for the fact that her mother had already come to see her, why did she still pretend to be unconscious?

Of course it’s because my father hasn’t come yet!

Mu Tangxi knew that her father would come to visit her tonight when she had a high fever.

No one will give up on her since she has not been disfigured yet, as she will be involved in maximizing future interests.

Mu Jinfeng asked a servant to come over to inquire about the news, and was surprised to hear that his sister had not woken up yet.

He wanted to recall the scene of his sister when the carriage overturned, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it. He only remembered his own feelings.

Mu Jinfeng simply put this unimportant matter behind his mind. The most important thing now was how to protect his own interests.

Having lost his status as heir, he needs some sense of security.

The military officer career his mother gave him could not give him enough sense of security.

Besides, maybe his face can be saved?

The first priority now is to win over some people, form our own force, and then slowly expand and grow.

It’s not the end yet, so no one can be sure of the winner, right?

Mu Jinfeng's face looked even more sinister in the dim candlelight, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Prime Minister Mu naturally understood what Feng'er would think, but he would not stop her. The successor he wanted would be the best one.

He will fully cooperate with whoever can stand to the end.

He started from scratch and climbed up step by step from the top scholar to the position of prime minister. He knew exactly what was most needed in the process.

He paid a lot in order to climb up, including love, family affection and conscience!

He made himself the most useful chess piece for the emperor, and the emperor used him easily. His appearance was also very handsome...

All these reasons pushed him to the position of prime minister, second only to the emperor.

In order for him to secure his position as prime minister, he certainly had to be scheming. He placed people in as many places as possible so that he could obtain intelligence first.

Feng'er and Xi'er's courtyards naturally also had one. Feng'er's people passed on the message that Feng'er had asked Jingshu for help in becoming a military officer, and Prime Minister Mu was not surprised at all.

Feng'er was, after all, a child he had been training for a long time, and he wouldn't be unable to recover, but his speed was enough to surprise him a little.

The second son, Mu Jinbai, has a gentle personality, is polite to others, and is also good at studying, but I don’t know if he is really like that.

The third son, Mu Jinxi, is still young and acts cautiously, and the others cannot be seen for the time being.

As for my daughter...

There were ripples in Mu Wenyu's eyes. Her beauty was her greatest advantage. As for etiquette and personality, these could all be cultivated.

At present, the people in her yard reported that they have not woken up yet.

I'll go see her after I finish my work in the evening.

The Prime Minister's wife came in at this time, with a worried look on her face, and asked, "Husband, have you found out who the murderer is?"

Prime Minister Mu's indifferent face suddenly became much gentler. He looked at Xu Jingshu with gentle eyes, "It has not been found out yet. There was only a mute beggar in the carriage, and he committed suicide afterwards."

He stepped forward to comfort his wife and said that he would make those who hurt Feng'er and Xi'er pay the price.
