After Mu Xiyu got married, the Marquis' Mansion became much quieter. Mu Xiyue felt bored staying in the capital every day, so she planned to go out and play. She had been in this ancient place for more than a year and had not been to other places to play.

Xiao Tao was also very excited when she heard the young lady's plan. "But young lady, will the master agree to let us go out for fun?"

Mu Xiyue knocked her head and said, "Do you think he can influence my decision? You are stupid! Don't worry, he doesn't dare to control me."

Before going out, Mu Xiyue still planned to say hello to Mu Fengnian. After all, it had been a month since Mu Fengnian poisoned her. If her poison had not been cured, today would be the day when the poison would take effect.

Mu Fengnian was sitting in the study. When he heard a knock on the door, he called out, "Come in."

Mu Xiyue pushed the door open and walked in without any greeting, and sat down on a chair beside her.

"Father, one month has passed. Give me the antidote."

The antidote must be obtained, otherwise Mu Fengnian and King Rui will soon know that Xiao Yibai's men can already cure the poison.

Mu Fengnian narrowed his eyes and looked at her for a while before saying, "Is this how you talk to your father?"

Mu Xiyue tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest of the chair. "Father, what attitude do you want from me? Oh, by the way, Father, please give me some more silver. I'm bored staying in Shangjing City. I want to go out and travel for a few days. I'm leaving tomorrow and I don't know when I'll be back."

Mu Fengnian wanted to scold his daughter, but when he thought about how undisciplined and skilled his daughter was, he held back his words.

"Where are you going to travel? Do you know that it's bad for your reputation for a girl to travel?"

Mu Xiyue smiled playfully, "What kind of reputation do I have? What kind of reputation can a girl abandoned by a country boy have? Father, I still need to go to Prince Jin's Mansion for the antidote and silver."

Mu Fengnian didn't take the antidote, and asked, "How are things going between you and Prince Jin? Is Prince Jin interested in you?"

"Yes, I guess. Now, as long as I give the nod, Prince Jin can come to the palace to ask for permission to marry." Mu Xiyue said nonchalantly, "But father, have you really chosen your side? Aren't you afraid that the master you choose will not be able to reach the top, and your Mu family will be ruined in your hands?"

Mu Fengnian's eyes were filled with anger when he heard this. "Yue'er, how can you speak nonsense? Your father thinks that Prince Jin is a good match, but you have lived in the countryside for so many years, and your status is not worthy of Prince Jin. Now that Prince Jin has feelings for you, you must seize this opportunity. This is something that no one else can ask for."

Mu Xiyue didn't talk to him any more, "Okay, father, give me the antidote and the silver. I'm going to Prince Jin's Mansion to seize the opportunity."

Seeing her anxious, Mu Fengnian thought she was afraid of the poison taking effect, so he relaxed a little and said, "You've been with Prince Jin recently. Do you know what Prince Jin has been busy with recently?"

Mu Xiyue sneered, stood up and walked out. When she reached the door, she stopped and turned back, "Father, if the poison takes effect this afternoon, every bit of pain I feel will cause Mu Weikang ten times as much pain. I wonder if a five-year-old child can handle it. If he dies, I think the Second Madam will thank me!"

Mu Fengnian was startled and hurriedly called out to her, "Wait, I didn't say I wouldn't give you the antidote. I just care about you."

As he spoke, he took out a porcelain vase from the desk drawer and pushed it to the middle of the table.

Mu Xiyue walked back to the table, took the porcelain bottle, opened it, looked at it, and put it into her sleeve. "Father, are you really not going to give me some money? It doesn't matter. Just return my mother's dowry shops to me. I won't ask you for the profits from all these years, but from today on, I will manage those shops myself."

Mu Xiyue said as she walked back to the chair and sat down.

Mu Fengnian had already forgotten the dowry left by Sun Lanyue. Those dowries and the shop were kept by Liu Meir. The small warehouse in Liu Meir's yard was also robbed that day, and the dowries were gone.

He said, "Yue'er, you know, the mansion was robbed a month ago, and your mother's dowry was also stolen."

"So, the deeds to those shops are all registered with the government and can be supplemented. Father, I just came back from the countryside, but I'm not stupid. I still understand these things."

Mu Fengnian choked, then remembered that Mu Xiyue didn't have a dowry list, and she didn't know what kind of dowry Sun Lanyue had originally, so she said, "Your mother didn't have a shop in her dowry."

Mu Xiyue sneered, "Fortunately, our nanny took my mother's dowry list with her to the countryside. Father, would you like to take a look at my mother's dowry list? You said those items were stolen, so they were stolen, but those shops must be returned to me today."

Mu Xiyue reached into her sleeve and took out the dowry list from the space. "Four shops and a farm, father. I didn't want to manage them myself, but I have to spend some money and it's so restrictive. So, these things that originally belonged to me should be returned to me. This is the same principle no matter where you talk about it, right!"

Mu Fengnian was not sure whether these shops and farms were still in Liu Meir's hands. Based on his understanding of Liu Meir, they had probably become Mu Xiyu's dowry.

Mu Xiyue really didn't want to take these shops and farms. After all, she was not the original owner. However, she suddenly thought that those shops and farms might have become Mu Xiyu's dowry. If Mu Xiyu had no intention of harming her, it would not matter if she gave them to her. But Mu Xiyu wanted to destroy her. If it was the original owner, Mu Xiyu might have succeeded. So she suddenly didn't want to give them to her anymore. She took the things that belonged to the original owner's mother on behalf of the original owner.

Mu Fengnian felt a headache when he saw Mu Xiyue's determination to get what she wanted. If he had just given her some silver, wouldn't there have been so many problems?

"Yue'er, if you want to travel, don't go for too long. Just a few days will be enough. Come back early. I have two hundred taels left for you to spend on your journey. I'll check the shop and farm your mother left behind."

Mu Xiyue didn't take the two hundred taels of silver. "Father, the Second Madam is in charge of the household affairs now. Just call her over and ask her and we'll know. Father, don't look down on me because I'm young and don't know anything. You must have heard of the saying 'youthful vigor'. I'm quite popular, so it's better not to delay any further."

Mu Fengnian knew that Mu Xiyue would really do anything when she went crazy, and he really regretted bringing her back. After thinking for a while, he instructed the servant waiting outside the door to call Liu Meir over.

Liu Mei'er was sitting in her room, sighing. Yesterday, when Mu Xiyu got married, she had noticed that her son-in-law, Ji Shizi, had a gloomy face, lacking any of the joy a groom should have. She was worried about whether her daughter would suffer after marrying. When she heard the servant come to announce that Mu Fengnian was calling her over, she hurried to Mu Fengnian's study.

Pushing the door open and seeing Mu Xiyue sitting inside with her legs crossed, she had a bad feeling in her heart and forced a smile, "Yue'er is here too, Master, is there anything you want me to do?"

Before Mu Fengnian could speak, Mu Xiyue smiled and said, "Second Madam, my father asked you to come here to ask you to return the four shops and the farm that my mother left me. I'm impatient and I want them right away. Second Madam, do you want to get them for me or should I go with you?"
