Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 196 Freedom?

Mu Lianxue agreed without hesitation. What Mu Tangxi once had now should have been hers!

Xu Jingshu turned her head and looked at Mu Tangxi for a long time, and finally looked away, "Tangxi, today's incident does not affect your engagement with the Third Prince, you can leave first."

Mu Tangxi bowed and left in silence.

Mu Jinfeng and the other two really treated Tangxi as their own sister, so they felt a little reluctant.

But there was nothing they could do, they could only remain silent.

They are no longer of any use, and during this period, they can even hear harsh rumors coming from outside.

"Lianxue, you go down and rest first. I'll call the doctor over." Xu Jingshu felt nauseous when she saw Mu Lianxue's bloody forehead and horrible face.

However, she would still use the best and most expensive ointments to try not to leave scars.

Otherwise, wouldn’t her last advantage be gone?

Xu Jingshu's eyes then fell on her three sons. "I know you won't accept this, but you have to endure it. She is your biological sister, and having one more helper is always good."

While Mu Jinfeng and the other two were still standing and listening to the lecture, Mu Tangxi finally sat down on the chair.

"I stood for a long time today, but I did see a very exciting show." Mu Tangxi took a sip of tea.

Dongzhu and Lingyi stood behind the young lady, listening to her words.

"Dong Zhu, go and quietly tell that infatuated Mr. Pan Mu Lianxue's identity."

"He will take the initiative to come to Mu Lianxue."

Mu Tangxi lowered her long eyelashes and spoke calmly.

Dong Zhu glanced at the young lady worriedly, then left to do his work.

The room was quiet for a while, and Ling Zhizhi asked blankly: "Master, are you unhappy?"

Mu Tangxi looked at Lingyi in surprise, "I'm not unhappy, I'm just thinking about what Mu Lianxue said, she said I was pitiful."

Lingyi frowned, "She's talking nonsense! The master is not pitiful at all."

Mu Tangxi was amused by this. "She said that I have lived under constraints all my life and have no freedom. She said that I should not follow my father's ideas and that I would become unhappy if I married the third prince."

"That's a strange thing to say, but one thing is true."

Ling tilted her head expressionlessly. As a secret guard who often stayed by her master's side, she subconsciously learned the habit of staring at the person.

"So the freedom that Mu Lianxue wants is a life without supervision?" Lingyi couldn't imagine that a young lady from a powerful family would think this way.

Only civilians live the free life that Mu Lianxue talked about, but their lives are also free, but the freedom has no guarantee.

You may die of starvation, freezing, exhaustion, or illness at any time...

Civilians always die in the most numerous and countless ways.

Does Mu Lianxue want to be a commoner?

Lingyi couldn't figure it out, and looked at his master in confusion, trying to find an answer.

Mu Tangxi smiled, "Mu Lianxue's intention is for me to give up my engagement with the Third Prince and find someone I love, to be together for the rest of my life."

"She herself wants this too. She wants the power, status and money of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as well as a spiritual soul mate."

"She wants to be satisfied both spiritually and materially."

Zero One concluded, "She's really greedy."

Mu Tangxi nodded. In her opinion, Mu Lianxue's logic was contradictory and irreconcilable.

Mu Lianxue couldn't escape from her father's control, just like her.

You can't even do it yourself, yet you ask others to do it.

Lingyi then asked, "What did Mu Lianxue mean when she said that you would be unlucky if you married the Third Prince?"

Mu Tangxi stroked the teacup, "She said that the Third Prince will have many concubines in the future, and I won't be happy."

A cold light flashed in Lingyi's eyes, and his hand pressed on the dagger at his waist, "If the Third Prince dares to make the master sad, I will kill him!"

Mu Tangxi couldn't help laughing out loud, her amber eyes sparkling as if there were fragments of sunlight hidden in them.

She naturally would not refuse the kindness of her subordinates, "Okay, I'll leave it to you then."

Lingyi bowed his head solemnly.

Mu Tangxi once thought that the Third Prince and Mu Lianxue looked very similar, but now it seems that they are not so similar.

At least the Third Prince has a brain, he just doesn't use it often.

And now all the power of the Third Prince is under Mu Tangxi's control, so how can he betray her?

At the beginning, Mu Tangxi just needed the identity of the Third Prince's wife, and she was not really in love with the Third Prince.

So when she heard Mu Lianxue's words, she almost laughed out loud.

What does it have to do with her how he takes a concubine?

What Mu Tangxi pursued was never such fickle and illusory things, but power.

With power, even if the Third Prince dislikes her, he has to obey her orders obediently.

Mu Tangxi narrowed her eyes. Although there was a little accident when she first met the Third Prince, it did not affect her chances, and even accelerated her chances.

The surprise is that the third prince seems to particularly like this face?

Or is it because of his attitude towards his future fiancée?

He has a feeling that no matter who becomes his fiancée, he will like the other person.

Hoping to get pure and true love from her, and for this goal, taking the lead in falling in love with her in exchange?

However, does the third prince really understand what love is?

Like Mu Tangxi, he has never come into contact with love. Can he really give love if he has never experienced it personally?

"Lingyi, how is the situation with Shen Qiu?"

Mu Tangxi picked up a piece of cake from the small plate and asked softly.

Ling Yi said seriously, "Ling Si has appeared in front of the target Shen Qiu, and their residences are adjacent. The reason for moving is also reasonable. The target Shen Qiu has a gentle attitude towards Ling Si."

Mu Tangxi said thoughtfully: "Does this mean that Shen Qiu has some feelings for Ling Si?"

"Good, let Zero Four continue."

"Shen Qiu is very defensive. Tell Ling Si not to be anxious and be patient. Slowly infiltrate his life and let Shen Qiu get used to it."

After saying this, Mu Tangxi took a bite of the osmanthus cake.

After Lingyi responded, the room fell into silence again.

Mu Tangxi quietly finished a piece of osmanthus cake before speaking, "Let Qingyun lurk beside Mu Lianxue and observe her actions at all times."

Zero nodded.

Dong Zhu came back soon after, "Miss, I have already told Qing Feng about the mission. We should be able to see the result tomorrow."

"good."

Mu Tangxi hoped that Master Pan could come earlier, otherwise she would have to leave the house to meet the Third Prince.

Dong Zhu paused for a moment and continued, "Miss, Qingfeng reported that a new restaurant opened opposite our restaurant and they are trying to win over our regular customers."

Mu Tangxi picked up a handkerchief and wiped the pastry crumbs off his fingers. "Send someone to find out who is behind that restaurant."

"Yes."
