Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

"not enough."

Seeing that he had no other choice, he could only ask, "Miss, what else do you need to add to meet the standards?"

Shen Muxue broke off a branch from a nearby tree and wrote two words on the ground - power.

"Shen Leyao and I have been entangled for a long time. I have used every possible means, even tried them long ago. But what is the outcome? Although her reputation was damaged by her unmarried pregnancy, she was still tolerated by the Marquis' Mansion. Despite the public outcry, she is still alive and active in the public eye. May I ask, what advantages does she have over us?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng's face tensed as she replied, "The Duke's Mansion background."

"Indeed, it is precisely because of such strong backing and the protection of relatives like the princess that no matter how terrible the incident, it cannot shake its foundation."

"Then we are completely helpless?"

He banged the table a few times in anger.

"I heard a while ago that the Duke's eldest grandson, Yu, had tragically passed away while attending Shen Leyao's wedding banquet. For quite some time, Jin Shi didn't dare return to her parents' home. Perhaps this means the Jin family has lost confidence in her..."

After sighing, Shen Muxue responded, "You're overthinking it. Those who grew up in such a large family naturally understand the complex web of relationships. To consolidate their power, they would not hesitate to cultivate the children of legitimate, illegitimate, or even distant relatives. The success of one person is enough to extend the glory of the entire family for a century."

"Even if internal conflicts abound, as long as a person still holds some value, they won't be easily abandoned. Furthermore, her spouse is now the Prime Minister of the imperial court; in this sense, the Prime Minister has become part of their sphere of influence. The four great families have been passed down from generation to generation and are intricately intertwined. Now, through Shen Leyao, the Hou family has been effectively drawn into the mix. If we act rashly, we will likely be the only ones to suffer..."

After hearing this explanation, Zheng suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

This young woman is too intelligent and insightful.

If it weren't for this communication, I might have been kept in the dark and fallen into a desperate situation without knowing the reason.

Unwillingly, he asked, "Are we just going to let it run rampant?"

A smile appeared on his lips as he said, "Just because I said it was difficult didn't mean it was unshakable. I hope you can give me some pointers."

Shen Muxue raised her hand and carved two more words on the branch: Ling Wei.

This is the concubine's son in the Anping Marquis's mansion.

He is also Zheng's only son.

Zheng's gaze lingered on the two words for a moment, and suddenly she understood.

"I understand, I understand!"

Zheng cried out twice in excitement and bowed to Shen Muxue, "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. If you need any help from me in the future, please feel free to ask."

It is indeed the best thing to have Zheng keeping an eye on Shen Leyao's movements in the mansion.

Shen Muxue was not hypocritical or polite.

She responded briefly, "Okay."

As the two were talking, a sharp voice rang out: "Hey, come and see, the eldest daughter of the Shen family is actually together with our concubine. The two of them are whispering non-stop, and I don't know what conspiracy they are planning."

Hearing this, Shen Muxue and Zheng turned around and saw a group of women led by Ling Luoning approaching them.

She looked at Shen Muxue with sharp eyes, her words full of sarcasm.

It was obvious that she was still upset about being cheated out of money last time.

"Miss Luo Ning, Miss Shen is our guest. How can you treat a guest like this?"

Seeing Zheng speaking for her, Ling Luoning no longer concealed anything.

He sneered, "A woman as cunning and vicious as this will be condemned every time I see her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost sixty thousand taels of silver at the Merlin banquet."

"you……"

Zheng wanted to argue, but was stopped by Shen Muxue.

She smiled gently and replied calmly, "Everyone witnessed what happened. I originally only offered one thousand taels for the hairpin, but you insisted on finding an expert to authenticate it. The final estimate of fifty thousand taels was set by the Emperor. Could it be that Miss Ji has doubts about the Emperor's decision?"

"Who dares to question the emperor? Don't, don't talk nonsense."

Even if Ling Luo Ning dared to attack Shen Muxue directly, she would not dare to offend the king at all.

After all, everyone present has the support of prominent families. If the gossip reaches the emperor's ears, it may cause quite a stir.

Eager to avoid the topic, Ling Luoning continued, "I just can't stand the way you pretend to be weak and kind on the surface, but actually bully others. I heard that many of your brothers and sisters in the mansion have been bullied by you. Do you still want to continue pretending now?"

Hearing this, Shen Muxue raised her eyebrows slightly and asked, "Did you hear all this from Shen Leyao?"

It turns out that my reputation has been distorted to this extent.

well.

Then you will have a more reasonable basis for your actions in the future.

"Don't worry about who told me what I said. If you doubt its authenticity, you can ask the third young lady Miao'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion. They spend the most time together and are sure to know the situation."

So, Ling Luoning pushed the dodging Shen Miao'er forward and ordered loudly: "Miao'er, tell us all, are those words just now true or fiction?"

Shen Miaoer first looked at Ling Luoning, then looked at Shen Muxue in horror.

His whole face flushed red with nervousness.

Everyone around her was looking at her at this moment, waiting for an answer.

I saw her clutching her fingers tightly, her whole body trembling, and she seemed about to cry.

Shen Muxue didn't want to implicate innocent people.

Just as he was about to help Shen Miao'er out, Shen Miao'er suddenly closed her eyes and said, "Yes, Luo Ning is right. My eldest sister... often bullies the servants at home. She, she also beat me..."

At this time, Shen Miaoer rolled up her sleeves.

Her arms were covered in red marks, seemingly from a whip.

Ling Luoning was overjoyed and raised Shen Miaoer's arm to show everyone: "See? I'm right. Shen Muxue is two-faced and can even kill her own sister. What a heartless person."

Immediately, the people around echoed.

Shen Miaoer lowered her head and avoided Shen Muxue's gaze.

His whole body was shaking like sieve chaff.

Looks very pitiful.

Shen Muxue's eyes gradually turned cold.

In the past, because she was afraid of Shen Leyao, she replaced the rabbit.

And today, because of the fear of Ling Luoning, such a scene was played out here.

She had long understood that a dog will always eat shit.

Those who deserve sympathy often have an unforgivable side behind them.

Zheng said hurriedly: "Miss Shen is not that kind of person."

Shen Muxue did not respond, but began to move her wrist silently.

If you want to accuse someone, why worry about not finding a reason?

Since reason doesn't work, only force can solve the problem.

Let them see it for themselves.

Seeing that Shen Muxue had no intention of explaining, Ling Luoning proudly announced: "Nothing more to say, right? A vicious woman like you is not welcome in our Anping Marquis Mansion. Leave immediately, now!"
