The peerless and dark princess

Mu Ruohan was full of jealousy at the moment. She was jealous that Mu Wange not only was the legitimate daughter but also had the support of the Prince of Yan's Mansion. When she first became friends with Mu Wange, she went to the Prince of Yan's Mansion with Chu Wanran and Mu Wange.

For the first time, Mu Ruohan clearly knew the difference between herself and Mu Wange. From then on, she and Shen Xinyue plotted against Mu Wange and even Chu Wanran, who was very good to her.

Mu Yucheng, the eldest son, lowered his eyes to hide his vicious look, but he did not escape Qingzhu's eyes.

Qingzhu has always been interested in medicine. She learned about herbs from the barefoot doctor in the village. Now she is learning medicine from Mo Yanzhi (the doctor assigned to Mu Wange by Zuo Ci). She is very observant of these people, and she has also been learning kung fu from Zuo Jiu for a period of time.

Qingzhu's expression remained calm, and he did not lose his composure because he noticed Mu Yucheng's viciousness. He carefully covered Chu Wanran's tablet steadily, and then returned to Mu Wange's back.

"Grandma, I'm going to go see my grandma and grandpa."

Madam Mu was also a little unhappy for a moment, and at this time she remained silent.

Mu Heng was a little worried that Mu Wange would go back and complain, which would put his position in the court in jeopardy. Although he was already a minister, his say in the court was still far from enough compared to that of the Prince of Yan's Mansion.

So, he continued, "Wange, what are you doing going to Prince Yan's Mansion? If there is anything, you should tell your father first."

"It's okay. I just want to comfort the two elders. After all, you just got married yesterday, and grandma and grandpa are probably feeling uneasy. I just want to reassure them. I know that you didn't have to do this, so don't worry. I will take Lin'er with me to accompany my grandparents for two or three days and then come back." "Okay, then you can take Lin'er with you."

When Mu Heng saw that Mu Wange was caring and doing what was best for him, he immediately felt relieved and felt that Mu Wange was still on his side as a father, so he quickly agreed to Mu Wange's request.

Mu Heng thought Mu Wange was angry because he hadn't paid enough attention to them. He just spoke to Wange in a gentle voice, and Wange listened to him, feeling very proud. It can be said that they were newlyweds, everything went smoothly, and the family was harmonious.

"Grandma, Father, Wange and Lin'er have left first."

Old Madam Mu didn't say anything, just waved her hand. In fact, she didn't want to talk to Mu Wange. Although she cared about Mu Wange and his sister, she cared more about the reputation of the Shangshu Mansion.

When Mu Wange was leaving, he gave Mu Lanxin a subtle look. After seeing this, Mu Lanxin suggested leaving a while after Wange left.

……

"Big sister, are you waiting for me?"

Mu Lanxin saw Mu Wange at the fork in the road, but Mu Haolin was not with Mu Wange.

"Well, I'm looking for you. Now that our father has married a wife, what are your plans?"

Mu Wange went straight to the point and said without beating around the bush, "I want to know what you think."

"Big sister, didn't you already know my choice? As for Miss Qiao, we still don't know what will happen to her in the future. But with Big Sister's recent plan, Lan Xin still feels that following Big Sister is more appropriate... After all, we are still sisters..."

"Since you've made up your mind, as long as you don't betray me, I will do my best to secure a good future for you and your sister. Of course, this is only possible on the premise that you don't betray me and Lin'er."

"Big sister is right. Since Lan Xin has chosen, she will definitely not betray. Big sister, don't worry."

"This isn't something you say, but something you do. In that case, I advise you to stop trusting our good grandmother as soon as possible. After what happened, I'm sure she'll have some objections to me and Lin'er. Although she didn't say anything in the main hall this morning, she's always been concerned about her reputation... I'm afraid that one day, for the sake of the Shangshu Mansion's reputation, you two siblings will be sacrificed, especially your future marriage..."

Mu Lanxin recalled the expressions of Old Madam Mu yesterday and this morning. She was indeed a little dissatisfied with Mu Wange. Everyone in the main hall could see it, but Mu Wange had the support of Prince Yan's Mansion, so she had nothing to fear. If it were them, the two siblings would have no power to resist.

"That's right, elder sister. Then..."

"Don't worry, you're still a year away from coming of age, there's no rush."

Mu Wange comforted Mu Lanxin, "Now, there is something I need your help with."

"Sister, go ahead."

"I secretly acquired a few shops. I thought you were more familiar with bookkeeping, so I'll hand them over to you. I'm too busy to manage them now."

Mu Lanxin's eyes lit up instantly. Indeed, when she had studied calligraphy with the master in the mansion, she'd enjoyed studying books on accounting the most. On the contrary, her poetry, calligraphy, chess, and painting skills weren't particularly outstanding, but they were passable. At the same time, she felt a surge of comfort, sensing Mu Wange's trust in her. He'd given her the management of the shops without a single doubt.

"Since Big Sister trusts me, Lan Xin will naturally manage these stores well."

"Since I can hand these shops over to you, I naturally trust you. Later, I will have someone secretly give you the account books of these shops. As for how you run the business, it's up to you. My requirement here is that you make a profit quickly, and at the same time, make sure that no one can discover that it is you and me behind the scenes..."

Mu Lanxin didn't quite understand why Mu Wange couldn't let anyone know that those shops were hers, but she wisely didn't ask why.

This is also what Mu Wange admires most about Mu Lanxin. She knows what to ask and what not to ask, and she is also very observant of many things.

Giving her these shops now is just a test. If Mu Lanxin is really capable, he will naturally tell her some of his plans. At the same time, giving her these shops to practice is also to train her courage.

"Okay, go back to your yard first. I'm also going to Prince Yan's Mansion."

Then Mu Wange left first, leaving Mu Lanxin alone. The maids around her were a little bit unbelievable, but fortunately they knew what should and should not be said.

"Miss, this..."

"Ah Qing, let's go back to the yard and talk."

When Mu Lanxin returned to the courtyard, Ah Qing couldn't wait to ask, "Miss, are you talking to the eldest lady? Does the eldest lady believe you?"

"This is a test for me. However, Big Sister is thoughtful. Knowing that I like to manage accounts, she gave me a few shops to practice. Naturally, I have to do my best."

"Miss, there's finally some hope. However, the eldest lady is indeed much better than the second lady. As far as I know, the second lady secretly beats and scolds the maids and servants. I've seen it several times..."

"Don't talk about this outside, be careful of what you say."

"I see, miss. I'm just saying this in front of you. I'm very tight-lipped, but should I tell my aunt about this?"

Mu Lanxin thought of her aunt's timid and humble appearance, and frowned, "Let's not talk about it for now, and wait until we have made some achievements before we tell her, so as not to make her worry. And I'm afraid that the Shen family will bully her, and she may not be able to hide it."

"Okay, Qing understands."
