The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Prime Minister Mu's old face began to smile.

"That's nonsense indeed. The Third Prince is a legitimate prince. Even if he gets the throne, it's what he deserves. At most, it's considered forcing the emperor to abdicate, but it can't be considered a rebellion. Third Prince, think about it carefully. No matter what, you have to agree to this matter."

"Our Mu family has put so much effort into you. Now we see that you are at the peak of your popularity and are about to ascend to that position. But who could have thought that you would stumble. No one could have expected what happened this time. It's also my fault that I didn't control my family. But now is not the time to blame others. We have to make a decision."

"Third Prince, this is our last chance. You make the decision. If you don't want that position, you will never be able to take the throne again. But if you decide to give it a try, I promise that the Mu family will support you with all their strength!"

Concubine Wan did not expect her father to say this. She had never thought about it before coming here, but when she thought about it carefully, this was indeed an opportunity.

Anyway, being exiled to the northwest, the Mu family had no chance of turning things around, and without the Mu family's help in the capital, his son would definitely not be able to climb to that position.

One glory and one glory.

But if they had tried their best, the Mu family would not have been exiled, and their son would have ascended the throne immediately, and all their previous efforts would not have been in vain.

Concubine Wan also started to persuade.

"Son, this is indeed our chance. You have to think it through."

The third prince felt a little conflicted as he was being stared at by so many pairs of eyes, but he also wanted to take that position.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded in agreement.

Prime Minister Mu had expected this, but when he saw the Third Prince nod himself, he still breathed a sigh of relief and straightened his back a little.

Although he was a prisoner and wearing prison uniform, Prime Minister Mu's eyes were full of brilliance at this moment.

He said seriously: "Don't worry, Third Prince. Before exiling me, the court will have to confiscate my property. I will slowly reveal the money and all the assets of our Mu family, bit by bit."

"We can always delay it for ten days or half a month. The imperial treasury is empty now, and they will definitely not want to let go of these money. As long as we delay it for a while, you will have enough time to prepare."

Imperial Concubine Wan and the Third Prince listened carefully to Prime Minister Mu's arrangements. When the time was almost up, Imperial Concubine Wan and the Third Prince left reluctantly at the urging of the jailer, but they had said everything they needed to say.

Lord Mu didn't interrupt until the two of them left, then he couldn't help but speak in a low voice.

"Father, isn't this too risky? Although our family has been exiled, at least we still have a life..."

"Snapped!"

As soon as Lord Mu finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by Prime Minister Mu.

Prime Minister Mu said: "If you had been of any use, the Mu family would not have ended up like this. We only need to act according to the plan, and the Third Prince can sit in that position safely. It's all because of your useless son..."

"Forget it, now is an opportunity. Since you can't be a good family head, then shut up!"

Lord Mu covered his face, feeling aggrieved, but he didn't dare to say it, so he could only agree. Even if he disagreed, he couldn't change his father's plan, so so be it.

The next day, late at night, at the Xiao family.

A carriage slowly stopped, and Lord Xiao got off the carriage with a happy face and returned to his yard.

"Madam, the Marquis is back."

The maid hurriedly found Madam Xiao to report.

Mrs. Xiao did not dare to delay after receiving the news, and went out immediately at Xie Ruyu's urging.

This time, he had to make the Marquis agree with his idea no matter what. He couldn't let that bitch mother and son take the initiative.

Madam Xiao chased to Marquis Xiao's yard, and then saw that Marquis Xiao had a happy look on his face. She felt a little strange, but her own affairs were more important, so she immediately stepped forward and said.

"My Lord, you are finally back. I have something to tell you. When are we going to take action against the Xie family? The Xie family has bullied our Xiao family so much and has been slandering us outside. We can't just let them go!"

Marquis Xiao was drinking tea leisurely. When he saw Madam Xiao come in, he just glanced at her. When he heard this, he snorted coldly and said in a rather arrogant manner.

"Don't worry, the Xie family won't be able to stay alive for long. Not only the Xie family, but also other bastards who have grudges against our Xiao family will no longer exist!"

Having said this, Lord Xiao finally reacted.

I have said too much. Meeting Madam Xiao's inquiring gaze, I curled my lips and said.

"Okay, why do you care so much about the Xiao family's affairs? Just keep a good eye on your son."

Madam Xiao was a little annoyed, but she still managed to hold it back.

"My Lord, I also want to contribute to the Xiao family. I know you hate Xie Ruyu, and I hate that bitch too, but who let Xie Ruyu give me a grandson? You have to think about your eldest son..."

"Okay, if you're here to speak for that kid, then just get out. You don't need to worry about the Xiao family's affairs. I know what to do!"

Lord Xiao interrupted Madam Xiao directly.

Then, Madam Xiao was scolded by Marquis Xiao and driven out.

Madam Xiao gritted her teeth, but did not dare to anger Marquis Xiao at this critical juncture, so she could only stomp her feet and leave angrily.

When she left, she didn't notice that there was a person hiding behind a pillar not far away.

Feng Xiaoniang waited until Madam Xiao left before she secretly showed up, rolled her eyes, and left the yard.

In the room, Lord Xiao pondered for a moment, then called the butler and asked directly about Xiao Yu'an's situation.

The butler did not dare to hide it and spoke directly.

"The second young master didn't come back after he went out yesterday. He must be doing something."

Lord Xiao was somewhat dissatisfied after hearing this.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Marquis Xiao called out to come in, and Xiao Niang Feng walked in carrying a tray.

Seeing Mrs. Feng, Lord Xiao raised his eyebrows, gave a wink to the butler, and the butler retreated.

Mrs. Feng came over with a tray and said with a smile.

"My Lord, I heard that you were back, so I made a pot of hot tea to warm you up. I was busy, weren't I?"

Feng Xiaoniang still looked gentle and caring, but Lord Xiao was in no mood to chat with her and asked directly about Xiao Yu'an.

"Where did Xiao Yu'an go? He was not seen when he came back. I heard from the housekeeper that he went out yesterday. He hasn't been back for two days, right?"

Feng Xiaoniang paused slightly while pouring tea, but quickly came to her senses, put down the teacup and responded seriously.

"I heard that the kid made you angry. He was still causing trouble outside, so I kicked him out. At this time, we can't let him come back and embarrass himself."

"I heard that Xie Zhiqing from the Xie family has been pestering him. I have to let him go out and deal with it himself. I can't let you clean up everything for him. Don't worry, you, Xiao Yu'an is old enough and has the ability to clean up his own mess."

Lord Xiao was choked up. Feng Xiaoniang's words were really considerate, and it was obvious that Feng Xiaoniang had no idea about what she and the Second Brother were secretly planning.

Forget it, since he has been kicked out and has to solve the problem himself, then let it be. I’ve been very busy lately anyway and have no time to take care of that child.

I think that kid won't let himself suffer any loss.

At this time, Feng Xiaoniang couldn't help but speak.

"My Lord, the Mu family is now imprisoned and will be exiled in a few days. What should we do then? The Mu family is not a big deal, since they are not our help anyway. But without the Mu family as the left and right arms of the Third Prince, what should we do in the future?"
