The words "I'll send you back to Jingxing Palace" made the relationship between Ji Lige and Helian Qi clear.

Qiu was a smart man and could not understand that the butler was saying this on purpose for him to hear.

This person has been with the emperor for decades. If he can't even see such a little trick, how can he stay with the emperor?

Madam Mu deliberately asked the butler to say this, just to let him know, without leaving any trace, the purpose of the Queen and the Third Prince coming to the Marquis' Mansion today.

If he remembered correctly, this Miss Ji was given to Prince Mu by the Queen some time ago.

For this reason, it is said that Prince Mu had a big quarrel with the Prince's wife. Then, in just one night, he went to please the Prince's wife and coax her.

Of course, Prince Mu appealed to the emperor for a long time about his grievances after the morning court session.

That time, the emperor and the queen had a quarrel. It was the first time in more than 20 years that the emperor reprimanded the queen.

But today, when the Third Prince came to the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Mu sent Miss Ji back to Jingxing Palace?

And what Miss Mu said just now that the old lady interrupted...

When he returned to the palace, he would tell the emperor the truth. If the emperor asked him to investigate thoroughly, he would do so.

"The Queen and the Third Prince are going too far!" Mu Changlin was so angry that he slammed his palm on the table, his eyes bloodshot, "They bully people so blatantly and come to our house to bully us!"

Mu Shaochen is not much better.

If Zhi Miao hadn't reminded them last night, they would have been unable to cope with the situation today, and Nian An might have been tricked.

"Okay, okay." Xi persuaded softly, "No matter what, Nian'an is fine now. This matter is all thanks to Miaomiao."

Then he walked to Xu Zhimiao, held her hand, and said lovingly, "Miaomiao is really our family's lucky star. Since you came into our family, everything has turned out well for us."

"Our family is truly blessed to have you come to our home."

"Mu Shaochen!" Xi's tone became serious, calling her son by his full name.

"Mother, please tell me." Mu Shaochen said with a serious face.

Xi said in a commanding tone, "If you dare to treat Miaomiao badly, wait and see how I will punish you! Remember this, Miaomiao is our family's benefactor!"

"You have to treat her well for the rest of your life. Don't let her shed a tear or suffer any injustice."

"If you ever let me know that Miao Miao sheds a tear because of you, you'll be ready to be torn apart and skinned alive by me!"

"We in the Mu family can live without you, but we can never live without Miaomiao!"

Xi's words came from the heart.

If it weren’t for Xu Zhimiao, how could their eldest wife have lived such a good life?

"Don't worry, mother. I take good care of my own wife." Mu Shaochen said seriously.

He even took Xu Zhimiao's hand from Xi's, interlocked their fingers and held it tightly.

Xu Zhimiao felt a little embarrassed by his action.

A faint blush appeared on her face, but her heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction and sweetness.

"Don't worry, mother. My husband treats me very well." She said with a smile.

"It's only right for him to be nice to you!" Xi said, "No matter what time it is, you should just enjoy his kindness to you with peace of mind."

"Okay." Xu Zhimiao smiled brightly.

"After coming here today, I'm afraid the Queen is completely hostile to us." The old lady sighed lightly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

No matter what, she was the queen who was the master of the harem, and she was also the queen who was deeply trusted and loved by the emperor.

It is true that the Mu family is highly valued by the emperor, but everyone knows the relationship between the ruler and his subjects.

The emperor's mind is unpredictable. He may use you in an important position today, but throw you into prison and sentence you to death tomorrow.

Now, with the Queen constantly whispering in the Emperor's ear, it's worrying!

Although she used some tricks, it made Eunuch Qiu suspicious.

In order to gain the eunuch's loyalty to the emperor, I will tell the emperor the truth about what I saw with the queen and her two children at the Mu Mansion today, and I will also tell the emperor about Ji Lige and the third prince.

But how could her father-in-law not see through her little thoughts?

They are all smart people and no one is inferior to anyone else.

I'm afraid that from today on, the Mu family will have to walk on the edge of a knife.

And there are internal and external troubles!

"Mother, the feud between the Queen and us is only a matter of time." Mu Changlin said, "As long as we don't stand on the side of the Third Prince and do things for him, we will become a thorn in their eyes."

"In that case, let's just make our attitude clear."

"Grandma, father is right. I think so too." Mu Shaochen agreed.

"Yes!" The old lady nodded, "That is indeed the case, so from now on, we must be more careful. At least we cannot let the Queen and her men catch us making mistakes in public."

"You and your son should also be careful in the court. Qiqing, Nian'an, Zhimiao, and us women in the harem should also be on guard against the queen and the princess."

"Especially the princess, she..." The old lady stopped talking hastily.

I almost said it.

Each of these is a disaster!

"Don't worry, grandma," Xu Zhimiao consoled the old lady with a smile, "As long as our family works together, there will be nothing we can't get through. At most, we can just fight against the enemy with our troops and cover the water with earth."

"Yes, sister-in-law is right!" Mu Nian'an nodded repeatedly and took Xu Zhimiao's arm affectionately, "As long as sister-in-law is here, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome."

Xu Zhi gave her a glare and said, "How can I be so capable?"

"Yes, yes!" Mu Nian'an nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of admiration.

"Father, why...why would the emperor suddenly grant me a marriage?" Mu Yiwen looked confused.

I really can't understand why the emperor suddenly treats the second prince so well? He even gives Mu Nian'an to him in marriage?

You know, the emperor has always ignored the second prince.

Now that Mu Nian'an is being married to the Second Prince, it is a clear indication that the Dingyuan Marquisate will support the Second Prince.

At least the eldest branch must be on the side of the second prince.

Then...can their second branch continue to be valued by the Queen and the Third Prince?

After all, the Queen and the Third Prince have been disappointed with them over this period of time.

This damn Second Prince Helian Chen, why is he interfering in this at this time!

Murjin also frowned, as if thinking about something.

Not to mention that Mu Yiwen couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure it out either!

Just after returning home from court, the emperor's decree to grant marriage arrived.

They were completely caught off guard.

The most important thing is, the third prince is still doing something in the Marquis’ Mansion!

The old lady had sent the people back, how could he not know what happened between the third prince and the woman surnamed Ji?

The eldest wife's tactic of taking advantage of the opponent's strategy was really smart!

"Now if you want to be on an equal footing with the eldest wife, I'm afraid there is only one way." Murjin pondered for a moment and said seriously, "You marry the princess!"
