Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 118 Praise and Killing



Chapter 118 Praise and Killing

The third prince staggered into the carriage. He had just drunk some wine while chatting with his tutor. Before getting into the carriage, he took a casual glance and saw his tutor's cousin following obediently behind the prime minister and his wife.

He suddenly sighed and said that Mu Tangxi's father and mother really loved each other, and Prime Minister Mu's loyalty and deep affection had spread throughout the court.

When Prime Minister Mu was not yet the Prime Minister, there were always gossipers spreading rumors in secret that his true nature would soon be exposed, and it was inevitable that this man would take a concubine.

But Prime Minister Mu proved with facts that he had indeed done it, and these gossips gradually disappeared a year after he became prime minister.

If he didn't dare to take a concubine before because he was afraid of his wife's mother's family, then now that he has become the prime minister, it can only mean that he really only loves his wife.

Ji Qichen also has some respect for Prime Minister Mu in his heart. Prime Minister Mu's life is unique, from being the sixth highest-ranking official in the imperial examination to marrying his beloved, and now becoming the prime minister.

In fact, Ji Qichen envied Prime Minister Mu’s children more. They must be very happy to have parents who love each other so much!

He took one last look at Mu Tangxi and got into the carriage.

Now that my tutor is married, it means that the time I have to hang out with him will be greatly reduced, not to mention that he wants to go to the border, so I will see him even less.

When Ji Qichen thought about having to stay alone in that boring palace for a long time, he became more and more eager to find his beloved!

Because only after getting married can one move out of the palace and build a prince's palace outside!

Ji Qichen couldn't quite tell whether he wanted to get married because he wanted to move out of the palace, or because he had seen Prime Minister Mu's loyalty and was unintentionally imitating an outstanding person.

Or is it the fantasy that you can have happiness?

The lonely Ji Qichen sighed slightly, and suddenly felt that life was meaningless.

How about raising something to pass the time?

As soon as Ji Qichen returned to the palace, he went to the animal house in the palace, where there were many pets for the concubines in the harem to entertain themselves.

As soon as he entered, Ji Qichen saw many kinds of cats. His eyes swept across these cats and stopped on a rolling cat.

The eyes of this raccoon are very similar to those of its companion, both are clear and stupid.

Ji Qichen walked closer and saw that the raccoon barked softly when it saw people, which reminded him of the raccoon that his second brother had when he was young.

He picked up the cat and touched it. The cat had a good temper and did not struggle.

Finally he left with the raccoon in his arms.

Mu Tangxi said goodbye to his father and mother, returned to the yard, and looked at Dongzhu expectantly.

"What did my cousin and the third prince talk about?" My cousin didn't look like the kind of person who would suggest that three people get married together.

So she was curious about what her cousin would say.

Dong Zhu slowly told the story, and Mu Tangxi's eyes widened.

My cousin actually said so much, which directly broke his image of being taciturn.

But it's true that the series of actions taken by Mrs. Li left outsiders speechless, let alone my cousin.

Although the alcohol played a role in making my cousin so frank tonight, the most important thing is that he has thought clearly about the path he will take next.

What my cousin said was the same as what Miss An said. They both said that they would hand over the household affairs to Miss An. It seemed that my cousin didn't want Miss An to be bullied after he left.

Mu Tangxi decided to tell his eldest brother, second brother and third brother about what happened today!

Of course, what he actually wanted to do was to see what they usually did. What if the eldest brother pretended to be immersed in the pursuit of his enemies in public, but was actually working hard in private?

Mu Tangxi smiled and went to her eldest brother's yard. From afar, she saw the bright candlelight in the yard.

"Brother, you can never imagine what happened in the Zhenbei General's Mansion today!"

Mu Tangxi pushed open the door and saw her elder brother looking at the letter paper at the desk.

She was a little surprised that her brother really cared about the murderer behind the scenes. She thought he was just pretending.

After all, in his previous life, he told her everywhere that it was just a wound on his face, nothing serious, and asked her not to think about it anymore.

Mu Tangxi thought that he really didn't care as he said.

Mu Jinfeng pinched his brows, looked at Mu Tangxi with bloodshot eyes, and asked perfunctorily, "What happened?"

Mu Tangxi didn't care about his elder brother's tone at all, and continued to say to him, "This wedding banquet is for three people to get married together!"

Mu Jinfeng paused and was silent for a while. He even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. "...Huh?"

"My cousin got married with Miss An and Miss Li!" Mu Tangxi explained.

"Ah?" Mu Jinfeng felt that there was indeed something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he hear such strange words.

Originally, he thought that no matter how bizarre the incidents could happen in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, they would not be comparable to those in the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion. However, he did not expect that a three-person wedding ceremony would take place.

Mu Jinfeng suddenly felt that the world was a little crazy. Oh no, it might be that those people were crazy. It was not his problem, nor was it the world’s problem.

Mu Tangxi left after saying this. The eldest brother was already lost in thought and did not notice his sister leaving.

If her father hadn't placed people in every courtyard, she wouldn't have come in person to find out what her elder brother and the others usually did.

Mu Tangxi glanced at the people in his eldest brother's yard. He wondered how many people his father had placed in his eldest brother's yard.

Ever since my eldest brother refused my father's invitation to go to the wedding banquet, my father's attention to him in the study has gradually decreased. I wonder when my eldest brother will notice this?

However, it would be best if you never notice it in your life, and live in a daze until you die.

Otherwise, if Big Brother really finds out who is behind this, how will he seek revenge?

You have to know that those who have the courage to target the Prime Minister's Mansion are all powerful people, and that person is most likely the prince. Does my brother dare to retaliate?

Mu Tangxi then went to the courtyards of his second and third brothers, and when he told them about this matter, he inadvertently interspersed some things about his eldest brother.

Although Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi were very surprised to hear about what happened in the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and were even very curious about how those three people would live in the future, they finally focused their attention on their eldest brother.

Mu Tangxi pretended to reveal it accidentally, "When I went to tell my eldest brother just now, he was still reading the letter. I don't know when he will be able to cheer up."

She certainly did not reveal this to ask her second and third brothers to care about her eldest brother.

As Mu Tangxi expected, his second and third brothers asked about his eldest brother for more details.

Seeing the contempt and relaxation in their eyes, Mu Tangxi knew that his goal had been achieved.

"Brother kept staring at the letter, his eyes were bloodshot, it was obvious that he hadn't rested well."

"Alas, eldest brother has not been doing his homework seriously recently, and father no longer praises him. Recently, father has even ignored him," Mu Tangxi changed the subject, "Second brother and third brother have made obvious progress recently. I believe they will be able to catch up with eldest brother soon!"

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi were praised so much that they smiled. They couldn't help but get lost in their sister's praises, and the tension in their hearts disappeared.

Now that they know that Big Brother has neglected his studies, they don't have to work so hard to make up for the gap.

They recalled that their father had not mentioned their eldest brother at all during class recently, and they felt even more relaxed.

Mu Tangxi left with an innocent smile on her face. She just wanted to flatter them both. Is that not okay?
