Mu Tangxi was of course no exception. She was once again told by her mother to make friends with more young ladies.

She sighed slightly. There were already few people who could attend the Second Prince's wedding banquet, and if she had to find some young ladies from wealthy families, the number would be even smaller.

Mu Tangxi looked around and suddenly his eyes froze. Isn't that Miss An!

Miss An was also there, so Mu Tangxi could have a chat with her again to deepen his impression of her.

Mu Tangxi walked around the crowd and slowly came to Miss An, who was chatting with a noble lady beside her.

Mu Tangxi was not in a hurry and waited quietly for the two of them to finish their conversation.

It is extremely impolite to interrupt other people's conversation abruptly and will make people feel disgusted.

And from a mother's perspective, she is indeed making friends with noble ladies.

An Shulan suddenly discovered that there was a person standing next to her, waiting there obediently with a look on his face.

Seeing that Miss An had seen her, Mu Tangxi bowed to her and said happily: "Miss An, long time no see!"

An Shulan's eyes flashed with surprise, and she didn't understand why Miss Mu was here, but she still smiled skillfully, "Miss Mu, long time no see."

An Shulan paused, but couldn't resist her inner curiosity and asked, "Were you brought here by the Prime Minister?"

Mu Tangxi shook her head, "Father brought mother and elder brother, I was invited by Miss Yi!"

An Shulan suddenly realized that it was no wonder.

Since she had already figured it out, she introduced the noble lady next to her and Mu Tangxi to each other.

Just now, An Shulan was chatting with Miss Ling next to her about her marriage in the General's Mansion. Even though Mu Tangxi suddenly joined in, it did not affect their conversation.

An Shulan continued, "You don't know that the wife of General Zhenbei is very close to her niece. She invites her to the general's mansion every day to have meals and chat with her."

An Shulan laughed sarcastically, "But everyone knows that Madam Li just wants her niece and Master Xu to develop a relationship first!"

Miss Ling next to her frowned upon hearing this, "Then Madam Li might as well just let her niece be Mr. Xu's legal wife, so there would be no need to hide it anymore, right?"

Mu Tangxi's eyes suddenly lit up. She liked hearing these things. Tell her more!

An Shulan curled her lips and said, "Madam Li wants to get close to the An family and also wants to benefit her own family?"

Miss Ling's expression was somewhat indescribable. She hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "Does Mr. Xu think the same?"

An Shulan's expression was a little strange when she heard this. "He is different from his mother. He doesn't have any affection for Miss Li. It's just..."

"Just?" Miss Ling widened her eyes slightly and asked curiously.

Mu Tangxi also raised her head, and the last time she was with her cousin and Miss Li, her cousin's expression like facial paralysis appeared in her mind.

She felt that her cousin seemed to have no interest in women!

Then I thought of the other man in white behind the screen...

However, speaking of this man in white, Shen Qiu had not yet found out who that man was, and he was frightened by the eldest prince and the second prince so much that he hid at home and has not left the house since then.

After An Shulan had whetted the appetite of the two, she sighed slightly, "It's just that Master Xu doesn't seem to be interested in women."

"Ah?" Miss Ling was obviously not prepared, and her eyes widened even more.

A lot of things flashed through her mind at once, and when she was about to speak to verify her guess, An Shulan interrupted her.

"Except for the Third Prince, there is no one else around Master Xu."

Mu Tangxi's expression changed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Before Shen Qiu even checked, he got the information so easily.

What a lucky day!

"If Master Xu hadn't ignored men, I would have thought..."

An Shulan lowered her voice and said.

Miss Ling closed her open mouth with a subtle expression. She just wanted to ask if Mr. Xu was interested in men...

Fortunately she didn't say it!

Otherwise it would be so strange!

But then doubts arose, and Miss Ling asked in confusion: "Since Mr. Xu doesn't care about men and women, then what does he like? It can't be that he doesn't like anything!"

An Shulan's expression became even weirder. She spoke with some difficulty, "I was also very curious before, so I sent someone to ask Master Xu. Do you know what he said?"

Miss Ling lowered her voice, "What did she say?"

Mu Tangxi was also very curious and looked at Miss An without blinking.

"He said he just wanted to go to the border to fight and serve his country!" An Shulan didn't quite understand, but she respected him.

"Uh... a very strange person, but except for his mother and Miss Li, Mr. Xu is good in every aspect." Miss Ling said.

An Shulan nodded. She also agreed with this. "It's really good." She counted on her fingers. "First, Mr. Xu doesn't have many women around him. The key is that he himself doesn't keep women outside. Second, once you get pregnant, you don't have to see him anymore!"

Miss Ling and Mu Tangxi thought the previous content made sense, but what about the latter part?

“Why do you think the second point is so good?”

An Shulan glanced at the two of them and said calmly, "Because I don't like Master Xu, and Master Xu doesn't like me either. As long as I'm pregnant, we don't have to see each other again. It's torture for two people who don't love each other to get along! Just treat each other with respect."

Miss Ling and Mu Tangxi felt that they had come to the right place today. Where else could they hear such explosive news except here? !

However, as ladies from wealthy families, they have been prepared since childhood for the possibility that their future husbands may not love them.

Therefore, they think that treating their husbands with respect is the best option.

You can't always imagine that your future husband only loves them, right?

This is unrealistic!

"Besides, Master Xu will only marry me as his principal wife and Miss Li as his concubine. He won't have any other women. This makes me feel very comfortable. Otherwise, if there are too many women, it will be very difficult to manage and guard against them!"

"If it's just me and Miss Li, once I'm poisoned, can't I just lock onto the target?"

The more An Shulan talked, the more she felt that Mr. Xu was a very good match.

Mu Tangxi and Miss Ling could not deny it, because it was indeed as Miss An said, very convenient!

"Finally, if Master Xu accidentally dies on the battlefield, I can live with my child comfortably in the future! And my child will be the heir to the General's Mansion, no doubt about it!"

The more Miss Ling listened, the more she felt that what Miss An said made sense, and she was even a little tempted. She would wait until she got home to see if there was a young man who was similar to Mr. Xu.

Mu Tangxi's eyes became brighter.

If Miss An marries him and becomes pregnant, her cousin will go to the battlefield and there is a high probability that he will die. Once he dies, his power in the general's mansion will be dispersed to Miss An and Madam Li.

Then, as long as Madam Li dies, Miss An will become the most powerful person in the entire Zhenbei General’s Mansion!

This is the easiest way for women to gain power.

Is Mu Tangxi thinking about gaining power by directly killing the man she marries?
