After riding back to the palace, Xiao Yibai asked the housekeeper to arrange a carriage to take the two back to the marquis's mansion.

Mu Xiyue ran into Mu Fengnian as soon as she entered the mansion. She was picked up by a carriage from Prince Jin's mansion in the morning. Mu Fengnian naturally knew that she was with Xiao Yibai today.

"Yue'er, how are you getting along with Prince Jin?"

Mu Xiyue's face showed no expression, "It's okay."

Mu Fengnian was obviously not satisfied with this answer. "Does Prince Jin intend to marry you? Do you want your mother to teach you how to capture a man's heart?"

Mu Xiyue rolled her eyes at him. "Father, I don't want to say it again. My mother is dead, and your wife is not worthy of me calling her mother. Also, are you mentally ill to let your woman teach your daughter how to seduce men?"

Mu Xiyue's attitude annoyed Mu Fengnian. He sullenly scolded her, "What kind of attitude is that? Don't forget that you still have the poison in your body."

Mu Xiyue didn't get angry but laughed instead. She took a few steps closer to Mu Fengnian. Mu Fengnian felt a chill for no reason and took two steps back. Then he reacted and straightened his back and glared at Mu Xiyue.

Mu Xiyue chuckled. This man was actually a general who had fought in the battlefield. This man was also the commander-in-chief of the Beijing Guard. "I wonder how my father got the position of commanding the Beijing Guard. Is it just because of the protection of his ancestors?"

Mu Fengnian could tell that this was a questioning of his ability, and his anger rose rapidly. He stretched out his hand to slap Mu Xiyue, but how could Mu Xiyue let him hit him? As soon as he stretched out his hand, Mu Xiyue grabbed it and threw him to the ground with a loud bang over his shoulder.

Mu Fengnian only felt a burning pain in his back, and his whole body seemed to be numb. For a moment, he felt unable to move.

Xiao Tao, holding two fish in her hands, looked at Mu Xiyue with shining eyes. She also wanted to have this kind of actual combat opportunity. Mu Xiyue had taught her these basic self-defense techniques, but she had never practiced them. It would be best if she could encounter a few fools one day so that she could practice her skills.

"Father, you'd better not mess with me, otherwise I might end up in a desperate situation." Mu Xiyue ignored Mu Fengnian and waved to Xiaotao, saying, "Let's go."

Mu Fengnian gnashed his teeth and roared, "Mu Xiyue, don't you want the antidote anymore?"

He really didn't expect that Mu Xiyue would dare to fight him now. He secretly decided in his heart not to give the antidote to this rebellious girl in the first month, so that she could taste the pain of the poison, otherwise she would really not remember.

After riding horses for a whole day, they were really tired and went to bed early.

When Mu Xiyue woke up the next day, she only felt sore in her hands, legs and waist. However, she still had to go and see those who were practicing the program. She had no idea how they were doing.

It was almost noon when the two of them arrived at the house in the west of the city. Mu Xiyue asked everyone to practice again. Although they were still unfamiliar with the technique, they were getting some shape. The only difference was that there were not enough routines.

Mu Xiyue thought about finding someone who could write. After all, she didn't have that many things in her head, and all she had in her head were modern things, most of which were not suitable to be brought here. It seemed that she had to find Xiao Yibai.

Mu Xiyue sighed. His confession yesterday had somewhat disturbed her mind. She had wanted not to see him for a few days.

Xiao Tao leaned close to Mu Xiyue's ear and whispered, "Miss, are you bothered by the fact that the prince likes you?"

Mu Xiyue smiled and asked, "How do you know?"

Xiao Tao pouted and said, "Isn't it obvious? You look very conflicted. What else could possibly be so agonizing? However, I honestly think the prince is quite good. How many wealthy men don't take concubines? Take Wang Ergou from our village, for example. He was lucky enough to dig up an old ginseng and sell it for a hundred taels of silver, and he was able to take a concubine."

Wang Ergou was the only man in Mujia Village to take a concubine, which caused a stir in the surrounding villages. Wang Ergou's wife had given birth to three daughters, and his concubine gave birth to a son a year after she came into the family. Wang Ergou was very proud of this for a long time.

It was very rare for ordinary people to take concubines. It was not that men did not want to take concubines, but their family's financial conditions did not allow it. First, they could not afford to marry a concubine, and second, they could not afford to support a concubine. Of course, women from poor families would not rush to become concubines. It was said that Wang Ergou's concubine was sold to him by her father for two taels of silver.

"So even a man with only one hundred taels of silver at home wants to take a concubine. How can you think that Xiao Yibai, a prince, will not take a concubine in the future?" Mu Xiyue said.

Xiao Tao said as a matter of course: "Didn't the prince say that no other woman would enter the palace except you? Besides, even if there really is another woman who wants to enter the palace, you can't stop her with your ability. Let's talk about the future later. How do you know it won't go as you wish if you don't try? What if the prince can really do it? If you don't try, you will miss it."

Mu Xiyue was not opposed to Xiao Yibai in her heart. Xiao Yibai's confession even made her feel a little secretly happy. Maybe she liked him a little!

What Xiaotao said makes a lot of sense. How can you know if it won’t work out if you don’t try? Maybe she can try to get along with others.

"Xiao Tao'er, tell me the truth. Are you trying so hard to speak for Xiao Yibai just to be with Qiyun? Don't worry, even if I don't end up with Xiao Yibai, I won't object to you and Qiyun." Mu Xiyue smiled and pinched Xiao Tao's face.

Xiao Tao blushed instantly, "Miss, what are you talking about? Qiyun and I don't mean that."

Mu Xiyue tutted her words and continued teasing, "Qi Yun even gave you a horse. Why would he give you a horse if he didn't have any feelings for you? Then just tell me whether you dislike him or not."

Xiao Tao wasn't the shy person, so she didn't hide her feelings in front of Mu Xiyue. "I think he's a good person. Miss, what did he mean by giving me the horse? He didn't say. He didn't say he was interested in me."

Mu Xiyue held her chin and thought for a while. She had no experience in getting along with men. "Xiao Tao, do you think it's because we have never been in contact with other men before, and now we feel a little moved when a man shows his affection. No, we can't agree easily. You too, you need to carefully observe it."

Xiao Tao was a little confused. "Is that so? Then, how do we conduct the investigation?"

Mu Xiyue stood up and waved her hand. "Never mind. Let's talk about the future later. Let's go out for dinner. We'll go to Prince Jin's Mansion again this afternoon. I need to ask Xiao Yibai to help me find two people to write the manuscript."

Xiao Tao: "Miss, you are so eager to go to Prince Jin's Mansion, isn't it because you like the prince?"

Mu Xiyue flicked her forehead and said, "I have something to talk to him about, something serious! Don't think I'm so superficial."

Mu Xiyue is rich now, so of course she will go to a high-end restaurant for dinner.

After passing through the alley and walking forward for a quarter of an hour, you will reach Dong'an Street. There are several restaurants on Dong'an Street. I heard that the high-end ones require reservations in advance, otherwise there will be no seats.
