Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Mu Tangxi didn't know that her cousin was going to marry a wife and a concubine at the same time. She just smiled at her cousin before leaving. As for what her cousin thought, it was none of her business.

As soon as she got into the carriage, she fell into silence. Her mother didn't speak, and neither did she.

Until my mother talked about my cousin in order to ease the atmosphere.

"When you left with your cousin and Miss Li, did your cousin develop some feelings for Miss Li?"

Xu Jingshu asked abruptly.

Mu Tangxi turned to look at his mother curiously. Was she interested in this?

"Probably not. My cousin didn't say anything to Miss Li."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Tangxi saw a hint of sarcasm on his mother's face.

"I thought the plan carefully prepared by the general's wife would be very successful, but I didn't expect that Mr. Xu didn't like Miss Li at all." Xu Jingshu said softly, her tone so gentle as if she was not mocking others.

She turned around and saw Xier's puzzled look, and generously told her everything she knew.

"After you left, the general's wife told me that Miss Li was going to be Mr. Xu's concubine."

The smile on Mu Tangxi's lips froze slightly, as if she heard something strange.

"But... isn't Miss Li the niece of the general's wife?" How could he have imagined letting his own niece become a concubine!

"Yes, she is a niece, but not as important as her son." Xu Jingshu said with a smile.

"But your performance today is pretty good. The Miss An you made friends with will be your cousin's wife." She continued.

Mu Tangxi: ...

Although it's none of her business, my cousin is so miserable.

"Does Miss Li know about this? I don't think she knows." If she doesn't know, won't there be a quarrel? !

Then she missed a big show!

Xu Jingshu stroked her sleeves and said calmly, "She may not know. After all, Miss An didn't know that she was the legal wife before."

"Will she still agree to this marriage after she knows about it?" Mu Tangxi was very curious.

Xu Jingshu smiled slightly, "She has to agree even if she doesn't agree. I'm afraid my sister-in-law has already planned it, and the Li family probably knows about it a long time ago."

Therefore, the Li family and the Xu family knew something that the only people who were not married knew was the three people who were actually married.

"That's right."

Mu Tangxi's eyes sank slightly. Without enough power and say, she would be kept in the dark like her cousin.

As soon as possible...

After the two of them finished talking about this matter in the carriage, they fell into silence again. Xu Jingshu stroked the embroidery on her clothes, while Mu Tangxi seemed to be in a daze, but was actually perfecting his future plans.

There was a glimmer in her eyes, which were as thick and sweet as honey.

As the sound of the carriage wheels stopped, they arrived at the Mu Mansion.

This familiar scene made Mu Tangxi's hands feel a little sore. The last time he returned home, he was punished by his father to copy a collection of poems. He shouldn't be punished this time!

She followed her mother out of the carriage. Fortunately, there was no group of people waiting for her at the door today.

On the way back to the yard, no servant called Mu Tangxi to the study. She only breathed a sigh of relief after she entered the yard.

Dongzhu has gone to prepare tea and snacks.

She temporarily found a servant to bring Shen Qiu over, using her feeling unwell as an excuse.

After all, she had been hungry for a long time today, so there was nothing wrong with putting the blame on the general's wife.

Mu Tangxi sat on a cushioned chair, drinking the icy fruit tea brewed by Dong Zhu, leisurely waiting for Shen Qiu's arrival.

Shen Qiu hurried over, and this was the scene he saw as soon as he entered the yard.

The young lady sat in a comfortable chair, holding a cup of tea in her hand and taking a sip from time to time, while the maid was massaging her legs.

You can tell that the lady is in a good mood by looking at her squinting eyes.

This also made Shen Qiu feel relieved. He thought that the lady was angry because he had not yet found out who offered the reward of 100 taels of gold!

"Miss, what do you want me to do?"

Mu Tangxi glanced at Shen Qiu and asked, "Do you know who are the friends of Mr. Xu in the Zhenbei General's Mansion?"

Shen Qiu was stunned by the question, he really didn't know. He was just a small doctor before, and he became a spy halfway through. Now he is still in the exploratory stage!

"Miss, I'll check it out right away." After saying that, Shen Qiu was about to leave when he was stopped.

"Wait, don't be impatient, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Mu Tangxi went to the general's mansion this time for more than just one place to investigate.

"Shen Qiu, do you know An Shulan and Yi Linlang?" Mu Tangxi asked slowly.

Shen Qiu was very curious about what the young lady saw when she went out this time, and why there were so many people to investigate!

It's said that he was a latecomer, oh no, he became a gatherer, he really doesn't know so many people!

Shen Qiu was silent for a while, "…Sorry Miss, I don't know, but I'll check it out right away."

Mu Tangxi nodded. She didn't have much hope for Shen Qiu in the first place. "By the way, the relationship between the Yi Mansion and the Second Prince is not simple. Let's investigate it in detail."

What could Shen Qiu say? He could only nod and agree.

He found that the amount of tasks each time was gradually increasing, more and more, more and more, more and more!

If this job wasn't unavoidable, he would have wanted to run away.

As soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw Mu Tangxi waving her hand, and Dong Zhu beside her took out three bulging purses from the house.

When Shen Qiu saw it, his eyes were fixed on his purse, and his eyes were almost shining!

"Come on, work hard, and you will have more money and power in the future." Mu Tangxi sat on the chair and smiled at him.

Shen Qiu nodded so much that he was almost smoking. When he got the three heavy purses, he felt that all the hard work before was nothing. He could take on a few more tasks like this!

If he saves up a few more missions' money, he might be able to buy a house outside!

Looking at Shen Qiu's happy back, Mu Tangxi thought to himself, of course you have money and power.

…and then fall from the highest point.

Mu Tangxi's eyes became darker, but the corners of his mouth gradually rose.

What expression would Shen Qiu have?

At this time, a servant suddenly asked to see him. After Dong Zhu went out to ask, he looked a little strange.

Mu Tangxi's curiosity was piqued again, "What's wrong, Dongzhu?"

Dong Zhu replied, "The servant just now was sent by the eldest young master. He asked if the young lady wanted to go to Jingyang Marquis's Mansion with him, the second young master and the third young master tomorrow."

After hearing this, Mu Tangxi suddenly lost interest. Why should he go to Jingyang Marquis' Mansion?

"Brother, what does he want to do at Jingyang Marquis's Mansion?"

"The servant said that someone died in Marquis Jingyang's mansion, and Miss Gu was poisoned." Dong Zhu didn't understand. In just a few days, Marquis Jingyang couldn't get up, someone died, and the young lady in the mansion was poisoned.

Could it be that the feng shui of Marquis Jingyang’s Mansion is bad?

"Or the young lady should not go. I always feel that the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion is not auspicious. The last time the young lady went there, she was punished by the master!" Dong Zhu said worriedly.

"No, I want to go!"
