Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Mu Tangxi's expression was slightly stiff. She came here in the same carriage with her eldest brother, so she also had to leave in the same carriage.

Because the carriage was a relatively enclosed space, she could smell the smell clearly.

But when the eldest brother looked over, Mu Tangxi's expression immediately changed and he looked back in confusion.

She stroked the water droplets on her hair, making it darker, shinier and smoother like silk.

I have to take a shower when I get home.

But compared to her, the eldest brother was in an even more miserable state. Not only were his clothes too small for him, but his hair, wet from the rain, stuck to his cheeks and neck.

Mu Jinfeng was also in a bad mood. The depressed mood in his heart became even more unhappy because of the loose clothes and wet hair.

After finally arriving at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Jinfeng didn't say a word and quickly returned to the house.

Mu Tangxi, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi looked at each other, then said goodbye and left.

Mu Tangxi slowly returned to the yard, counting along the way how much information he had obtained this time, as well as the embarrassing moments of his elder brother and others.

As soon as I arrived at the yard, I saw Shen Qiu squatting at the door to avoid the rain, all wet, looking pitiful.

Mu Tangxi's pace was still neither fast nor slow. After reaching the door, he asked faintly, "Why are you here?"

Shen Qiu was frightened by the sudden voice, and turned around to see that the lady was back!

"Miss! I found out who offered a reward of 100 taels of gold for the author of the poetry collection!"

When Shen Qiu thought of that person, his heart began to pound and there was an unconcealable fear in his eyes.

Mu Tangxi raised her eyebrows, her round peach blossom eyes were full of curiosity, with the corners of her eyes slightly tilted.

"Then who is it?"

Shen Qiu subconsciously looked around for a while, and then he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that there was no one else except the young lady and Dong Zhu.

Then he lowered his voice and said, "It's the second prince—Ji Linwen!"

Mu Tangxi blinked. This was within her expectations. After all, who else could come up with a reward of one hundred taels of gold?

Anyone who does this must be rich or noble!

Shen Qiu was expecting to see the young lady's surprised expression, but he kept his eyes open for a long time. Except for the rain that was blown into her eyes by the wind from time to time, the young lady's expression did not change!

Nothing. Has. Changed!

A trace of disappointment flashed through his heart. The young lady had actually guessed the person behind this long ago. What use was he then?

Mu Tangxi walked around him and entered the yard, "Follow me."

She didn't want to follow Shen Qiu and talk about things foolishly at the gate of the yard in the wind and rain.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qiu immediately followed the young lady into the house.

But he was self-aware enough to step into the house, close the door and not move again.

After all, he was wet all over. It was good enough that he could get into the house. He couldn't make the lady's room dirty again!

"Go on, how did you find out?"

Mu Tangxi endured the rain and let her hair get wet, riding in the same carriage with her elder brother, wanting to take a bath, and asked.

Shen Qiu lowered his head and replied, "I originally went to investigate the situation between the Second Prince and the Yi family. Fortunately, a servant in the Second Prince's mansion suddenly fainted, so I disguised myself as that servant and entered the Second Prince's mansion."

When Mu Tangxi heard that the servant had suddenly fainted, the corners of his mouth twitched. So lucky? When he went to check on the second prince, a servant in his house suddenly fainted in front of him?

I’m afraid he was knocked unconscious by Shen Qiu!

Shen Qiu continued, "Then I went all the way to the prince's mansion and was almost called away by a concubine. Later, I learned from other servants about the room of the second prince's confidant."

"I drugged this confidant and made him unconscious. Then I searched his house."

"In his room, I found the account book that recorded the flow of money in the mansion. I saw that a few days ago, there was an expenditure of 100 taels of gold, which coincided with the time when the poetry collection became famous!"

Shen Qiu became more and more excited as he spoke. He seemed to have found pleasure in it. This kind of work of seeking death was very exciting to him, not just gathering intelligence!

Mu Tangxi supported her chin and listened to him talk. She didn't expect that he would take a different approach and go directly to the Second Prince's base camp. He was really courageous.

"You wanted to go to the Second Prince's mansion to investigate the Yi family. Did you find out?"

She did not comment on these things. After all, who offered the reward had little impact on her.

Shen Qiu carefully raised his head and glanced at the young lady, then quickly lowered his head. He felt a little aggrieved, but still answered truthfully: "I found out."

He paused and said, "I also found it in that account book."

"Oh?" Mu Tangxi pondered. It was related to money.

"Two days ago, on the eve of the flower viewing banquet, the Yi family gave the Second Prince 100,000 taels of gold. All of this is recorded in the book."

When talking about the 100,000 taels of gold, Shen Qiu's tone of voice became strange for a moment.

That’s one hundred thousand taels of gold!

He will never earn that much in his lifetime!

It turns out that the Second Prince's reward for the author of the poetry collection was just for fun, and he could get 100,000 taels of gold by just marrying a random wife.

But how did the Yi family come up with 100,000 taels of gold at once?

"So that's how it is. One hundred thousand taels of gold in exchange for the position of the second prince's wife. Maybe the Yi family has also promised the second prince something else." Mu Tangxi was interested in this news.

Shen Qiu was surprised and asked subconsciously, "One hundred thousand taels of gold is not enough? The Yi family also gave other things? Why do they have to pay so much just to marry off their daughter?"

Mu Tangxi smiled slightly, "Because the first prince and the second prince are both the best candidates for the crown prince position, but the first prince already has a wife. If we rely on him now, the Yi family will not be able to gain his full trust."

"So the Yi family can only turn their attention to the second prince who has no wife and risk everything on him. If they succeed, they will be able to leap forward and benefit their descendants." Mu Tangxi's eyes were dim, and his amber eyes darkened, which was chilling.

"What if it fails?" Shen Qiu asked curiously.

Mu Tangxi glanced at Shen Qiu and said, "If we fail, there will be no recovery."

"And the Yi family acted so quickly because the opportunity was so close and so fleeting. If you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

She laughed softly.

Shen Qiu thought about it carefully and it was indeed true. There was a chance to move to the next level, which was a 50% chance of success. Who could bear to let the opportunity slip away?

Dong Zhu, who was standing behind the young lady, didn't know how to react. From the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, to the affairs of Marquis Jingyang, and finally to the Second Prince's Mansion, why did the things the young lady wanted to investigate become more and more scary?

This is already a topic of discussion about the future crown prince!

so horrible.

Although he thought so, there was no wavering in Dong Zhu's eyes.

I just feel worried about the young lady.

Miss, you won’t investigate higher and higher in the future, right?

The eldest prince? His Majesty?

But the young lady just wanted to satisfy her curiosity, Dong Zhu comforted himself.
