Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 114 Gold Placement

The An family has the support of the Queen, how could Miss An possibly endure such an injustice? !

Mu Tangxi looked at the wedding invitation with dark eyes thoughtfully, but if the general's wife gave the An family enough benefits as an appeasement.

However, Mu Tangxi was a little curious about the atmosphere at the wedding banquet.

She really wants to see this excitement!

Mu Tangxi slowly withdrew his gaze and asked casually, "Are father and mother going?"

"The master and his wife went, but the three young masters are not going this time."

Mu Tangxi looked at Dong Zhu in surprise, "Why didn't Big Brother and the others go?"

Dong Zhu glanced at the servants in the yard, approached the young lady and whispered, "The second and third young masters were not allowed to go because the master heard about their performance at the Jingyang Marquis' Mansion."

Mu Tangxi was not surprised at all. When attending such an important occasion, he could not let the Prime Minister's Mansion lose face.

The performance of the second and third brothers last time was indeed not satisfactory, and even the smiles on their faces were disliked by Master Gu. If they don’t learn how to smile this time, they may not be able to go out.

"As for the eldest young master, he is still immersed in investigating the mastermind behind the incident. He made the excuse that he is busy studying and cannot go."

As soon as Mu Tangxi heard the reason why his elder brother didn't want to go, a smile immediately appeared on his face. His father must be angry with his elder brother for not living up to his expectations!

It was a great wedding banquet, and it was hosted by my mother's family, but my eldest brother did not try to expand his network, but instead focused on finding people.

Why not look for someone at any time? Besides, it is not necessary for the eldest brother to look for someone himself, isn't it the servants who look for them?

What a pity! My eldest brother was so happy that he finally got his father's attention, but in the blink of an eye he threw away his father's attention.

My father must be regretting giving that piece of letter directly to my eldest brother!

Mu Tangxi's amber pupils were curved, wondering if his father would give up on his elder brother?

She really wanted to see her big brother cry when he realized this!

It must be interesting!

Mu Tangxi asked Dongzhu to keep the wedding invitation properly, and picked up the paper with the locations of the four places drawn on it.

If Shen Qiu found clues in the latter two places, close to the Second Prince and Yi Mansion, then the mastermind behind this is likely to be the Second Prince's political enemy, with the First Prince being the biggest suspect.

But if it's the first two places...

Jingyang Marquis Mansion? It doesn't seem to pose any threat to anyone in the court now.

Previously, the Marquis Jingyang’s Mansion still had half a tiger talisman, but now it has nothing. Even the Marquis Jingyang himself is paralyzed in bed and unable to move.

Therefore, Mu Tangxi believed that the Jingyang Marquis Mansion was a decoy, added in to make up the numbers.

But the Zhenbei General's Mansion near Fuquan Building is more difficult to guess.

Anyone could have interfered, after all, that was my mother's home.

My father cannot lose the support of the Zhenbei General’s Mansion now, otherwise his foundation will be unstable and he will be easily dragged down by others.

Mu Tangxi lowered her eyes, hoping that Shen Qiu didn't bring the news from Fuquan Building.

If this is true, then the possibility of finding the mastermind behind the incident will be reduced.

As a result, the next morning Shen Qiu shattered Mu Tangxi's inner hope. He really found the clue in Fuquan Building!

But it was also within Mu Tangxi's expectations.

Mu Tangxi still had a sleepy look on his face. Hearing this, he only glanced at Shen Qiu and said, "Well, I understand. You can leave now."

Shen Qiu was confused. Why did he feel that the young lady was getting impatient with him today? He didn't have time to think about it and said, "Young lady, I asked someone and he remembered that the man with Yuping was wearing black clothes and had a black mole on the side of his neck! And that person also said that the man's clothes were only slightly better than Yuping's!"

Mu Tangxi paused, and the sleepiness in her amber eyes disappeared. She slowly raised her head and looked at Shen Qiu intently.

Did he really find important clues?

"Are you asking about the owner or the waiter of Fuquanlou?" Mu Tangxi had to confirm whether the source of the information was reliable.

Shen Qiu replied proudly, "I'm asking people who often eat at Fuquanlou, and I even left Fuquanlou to ask!"

Mu Tangxi nodded. She felt that Shen Qiu was really suitable to be a spy. It seemed that all the information was flowing into his hands.

Shen Qiu went on to say, "When I was questioning the women in the Qunfang Pavilion, I learned that someone had given the madam a large sum of gold to keep her quiet a few days ago, but the madam did not share the gold with the other women, so she told me."

Mu Tangxi's eyes flashed, shut up...

Still using gold.

Only a few people in the whole capital can possess such financial resources.

A smile slowly appeared on Mu Tangxi's lips, with a strange look in his eyes. Isn't this even more interesting?

She likes challenging things that can make her life extraordinary.

"So, did you get the money successfully?" Mu Tangxi asked softly.

When Shen Qiu thought of the big box, the expression on his face gradually fell.

"I got it. The bookstore owner even exchanged all the money for gold. But even if it was exchanged for gold, it was very heavy. I spent a lot of effort to drag the box of gold back home last night!"

Shen Qiu specifically used the word "drag" to express the heaviness of the scene.

"Then leave it in your yard for now."

Mu Tangxi decided the destination of the gold with just a few words.

Shen Qiu: !!!

Isn’t this a blessing from heaven?

Although the gold does not belong to him, it is in his house!

Then can he sleep with a pillow of gold?

Shen Qiu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he opened his mouth several times but didn't know what to say.

Finally, he could only thank the young lady with a little sob, "Thank you for your trust, young lady. I will follow you all my life. I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

The smile on Mu Tangxi's lips became more and more weird, with complicated emotions in it, "Okay."

You said this yourself, don't regret it!

Even if I ask you to die, you have to die obediently!

This is a promise you made to yourself!

Mu Tangxi seemed to know how to gain the trust of others by nature. He didn't need to pay any price. He just needed to show trust at the right time, and others would give him trust.

Just like she gave the gold to Shen Qiu for safekeeping because she trusted him?

No.

The main reason was that the box of gold was too heavy to be moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So Mu Tangxi needed to find a safe place to store the gold, and Shen Qiu just happened to appear in front of her.

By placing the gold in his house as a reward and trust, Shen Qiu easily gave up his loyalty.

Even if Mu Tangxi takes back the gold in the future, Shen Qiu will still work for her loyally.

The grace of the superior is spread little by little, making people grateful.

Mu Tangxi smiled as she watched Shen Qiu happily leaving. Dong Zhu, who was watching from the side, seemed to understand something.
