"Madam, what should we do now? I see that the third young lady has completely lost touch with you... In the past, when she saw me, she would sweetly call me "Madam". But today, she was sitting there and I saluted her, but she didn't even look at me... Madam, after all, she is your own flesh and blood... Even if you want to deal with the eldest young lady, do you really need to use the third young lady as a raft?"

Lan's face darkened, "Mammy, you have overstepped the boundaries..."

Nanny Zhang lowered her head and said, "I have spoken out of turn... Madam, please forgive me..."

In fact, she was also very confused in her heart. They were all the Madam's biological children, so why was it that only the Third Girl was not truly loved by the Madam?

What you said about the ten fingers being of different lengths makes sense.

But, it would be fine if he didn't love her, but how could he have the heart to let her die?

Seeing that Mrs. Lan was really angry with her, Nanny Zhang could only shut up and leave her room silently.

After the people left, a trace of hatred flashed in Lan's eyes, but soon, she returned to her dignified and serious appearance.

When Mu Ruge learned that the Lan family had been humiliated by Mu Qingyan, she remained calm, but Huiyun could tell that she was unhappy because she put the teacup down with such a heavy movement.

"The eldest lady has been invited by the Qin family's daughter to come to the mansion today to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Qin..."

Mu Ruge raised her eyelids and said, "Isn't Qin Sangbai a sickly person? When did they get in touch?"

"It is said that Miss Qin was tripped by someone in the cloth shop, and the fright triggered her illness. Yes, it was Miss Qin who saved her... so..."

"Oh? That's really interesting. When did my dear sister get the magic to bring back youth? You prepare a gift and we will go to the Qin Mansion to celebrate her birthday..."

Huiyun looked embarrassed, "Miss, the Qin family doesn't intend to hold a grand ceremony, and we haven't received an invitation. It's not a good idea to go there rashly, right?"

Mu Ruge pursed her lips and smiled, captivating everyone, but in Huiyun's opinion, that smile was very creepy...

"What's wrong with that? Old Master Qin is a great scholar of the time, and he has many admirers in the world. I went there to celebrate his birthday because of his fame. Can he chase me out?"

Huiyun had no choice but to obey the order and prepare the gift.

The Lan family is in charge of the Duke's Mansion's finances, so it is very easy for them to prepare a gift.

Yuzhan and Jiuniang moved quickly. At 10 o'clock in the afternoon, they had already rushed back with large and small bags. As the big shop had no finished products to sell, they had to ask a master to come to their home to measure the sizes and make custom products.

After taking the measurements, the carpenter left and promised to deliver the items in ten days.

In the afternoon, Mu Qingyan left the house with Yu Zan and Jiu Niang, and of course, she also took the set of four treasures of the study that she brought back from Prince Ling.

Just as I left the house and before I got on the carriage, I heard Mu Ruge's voice, "Sister, you are going to the Qin Mansion. Can you take me with you? I have admired Mr. Qin for a long time and have always wanted to ask him for advice, but I have never had the chance. Today is the perfect time..."

Mu Qingyan sneered, "Even Ah Yu knows that guests cannot bring guests with them, but the dignified Lord Shang Yi doesn't understand. Isn't it ridiculous? If you want to go, go by yourself. I can't take you with me."

She turned around, got into the carriage, and told the driver to set off without even giving her a spare glance.

Huiyun looked at Mu Ruge's face, which was as beautiful as the goddess of the sky, and now it became ferocious because of anger. She always thought that this second girl was very beautiful, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to find a rival in the world.

But today, she felt that the eldest girl was much prettier than the second girl...

Because those eyes were very clean and clear.

His face is full of openness and carefreeness.

On the other hand, the second girl’s eyes are beautiful, but when her eyes flicker, she is always thinking about killing people and is full of hostility.

Over the years, the Queen Mother has held her in high esteem and never let her suffer any injustice.

Logically speaking, such a smooth life should not lead to such a calculating character.

But Mu Ruge is the one who is good at calculating.

Not only did she not take her own sister seriously, but even her parents were stepping stones for her to climb up. As long as they were no longer useful, she would abandon them without hesitation...

"Girl, is the second girl planning something bad again?"

"Even you can see that she is plotting something bad? This old man Qin is the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and is the person the Queen Mother has always wanted to win over. It's a pity that this old man has been upright all his life and has never been involved in party disputes. Mu Ruge suddenly left the palace, I'm afraid she was also here to fulfill her mission."

Last time, she pushed Concubine Fang out as a scapegoat and showed off her edge in front of the empress dowager. Perhaps in the eyes of the empress dowager, the future queen should be beautiful and generous, but not stupid and useless. However, if she is too smart, she will be difficult to control.

How could the Queen Mother, who values ​​power so much, tolerate a Queen who is too aggressive?

That's why she said that Mu Ruge would have to pay a price for her calculations.

The price she paid was that she was gradually feared by the Queen Mother.

Mu Ruge is still young and she still needs to rely on the Queen Mother to pave the way for her. If the Queen Mother starts to be wary of her so quickly, it will not be a good thing for her.

However, Mu Ruge's temperament and ambition are probably exactly the same as the Queen Mother's. They both don't like being controlled by others, and both want to control others.

The Queen Mother wants to use Mu Ruge as a pawn.

Mu Ruge was unwilling to be manipulated by others, she wanted to be the one playing chess.

"Yuzhan, if in the future, I will do whatever it takes to achieve my goal, will you still be on the same page with me?"

Yu Zan said hurriedly, "No matter what the young lady does, I will stand on her side. Besides, the young lady is a good person, and no matter what you do, it is reasonable."

Mu Qingyan suddenly laughed when she heard this.

What a naive little girl...

Thinking of the dream of Yuzhin's tragic death, she felt even more sad.

But fortunately, Magnolia has been driven away.

She would no longer have the ability to harm her and Yuzhan as in her dream.

Jiu Niang said nothing and sat upright.

She is a secret guard. When her master is in danger, she is ready to sacrifice her life for him at any time. This is the meaning of her life.

"Jiu Niang, how did you come to serve under Prince Ling?"

Jiu Niang was stunned and silent for a long time before she answered, "Young lady, we were all kidnapped when we were young, and then trained to be killers. Once we take on a mission, we must complete it no matter what method we use. If we fail in the mission, we will... die miserably..."

"Later, the prince rescued us by chance... and later became a secret guard..."

Whatever method you use...

Mu Qingyan couldn't bear to ask any further.

"Forget about the past. Prince Ling should be considered a good master."

Jiu Niang bowed her hands and said seriously, "The prince said that since he has assigned us to the young lady, we will be her people in the future. We will go through fire and water for her, and we will not hesitate."
