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

Prime Minister Mu understood his grandson and knew that he must have made up his mind. It was useless to persuade him, so he could only say helplessly.

"Third Prince, I am not trying to boost others' morale or destroy my own prestige. I am just telling the truth. You have seen the temper of the Prince of Chen. He is difficult to tame."

"As for the Xie family... You may think that the stubbornness of the Prince of Chen is rare, but the Xie family can get close to the Prince of Chen. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. Why can't you think more about it? They are the same kind of people? And do you think that the Prince of Chen's background will scare the Xie family away..."

Prime Minister Mu smiled sarcastically.

"Do you think the Xie family would care about this? The emperor doesn't like Prince Chen, and everyone in the city knows it. Do you think the Xie family wouldn't know about it?"

"Even though they knew that Prince Chen was not valued by the Emperor, they were still willing to get close to him. I don't think the Xie family would resist Prince Chen's origin. Even if they knew that Prince Chen was not the Emperor's biological son, the Xie family probably wouldn't care."

The Third Prince listened to Prime Minister Mu's words. Although he felt that there was some truth in them, he still felt dissatisfied.

To be honest, the evidence that Prince Chen was not his father's biological son made him feel vaguely superior to Prince Chen.

However, the military exploits that Prince Chen had made over the years and the popular support he had accumulated had even made his father, the Emperor, wary of him.

It seems that the situation is extremely unfavorable to Prince Chen, but the Third Prince knows that anyone who can make his father so fearful must be a capable person.

The more powerful Prince Chen is, the more fearful his father is of him, and the more jealous the Third Prince becomes deep down in his heart.

Although there are considerations of interests in winning over the Xie family, there is also a trace of selfishness in it.

If he succeeded in winning over the Xie family, on the one hand he would weaken the power of Prince Chen, and on the other hand it would prove that he was more powerful than Prince Chen. Otherwise, why would the Xie family turn to the light?

Because of various considerations.

The third prince is so stubborn towards the Xie family.

Prime Minister Mu has watched the Third Prince grow up, so how could he not know what this child is thinking?

But he would never allow it.

So there was a warning in his words.

"Your Highness, as I said before, it is not a good thing for a person to be too capable and have too many people under him. Prince Chen is difficult to tame and has become a major concern for the emperor. The same is true for the Xie family."

"The more capable they are, and the more capable they think they are, the less they will rely on their masters, and the less they will behave like obedient dogs. As time goes by, their ambitions will grow, and they may even want to bite their masters. Of course, if the Third Prince really wants to win them over, that's not impossible."

Prime Minister Mu stared at the Third Prince intently.

"If Your Highness really wants to win over the Xie family, the prerequisite is that the Xie family is willing. If the Xie family is unwilling, forcing them to join you is just making enemies. Moreover, Your Highness, don't forget that after so many years of operation, many people have joined your team. Why do you have to make everyone unhappy just for the Xie family?"

"The Xiao family did make a fool of themselves this time. They did something wrong and deserved punishment, but they shouldn't be punished by honoring the Xie family. Don't forget that you have more people under your command than just the Xiao family. There are others as well, and everyone is watching!"

"If you ignore the Xiao family who have worked for you for many years for the sake of the Xie family, which you have not yet won over, how will others view you? Will everyone feel balanced? That's all I have to say. Third Prince, please think about it carefully."

Prime Minister Mu's words were truly heartfelt.

The third prince was silent for a long time before he spoke expressionlessly.

"I understand. I will remember what Grandpa said and will consider it carefully."

After saying that, he bowed and left.

After the Third Prince disappeared, the butler who had been silent the whole time asked, "Master, I feel that His Highness does not seem to be moved by your words. Should we…"

"No need!"

The butler was interrupted by Prime Minister Mu before he could finish his words.

Prime Minister Mu looked at the butler with his cloudy but shrewd eyes and sneered.

"Some people never turn back until they hit a wall. Moreover, the Third Prince only has some ideas now and will not really go against my will. Even if he wants to do it, Imperial Concubine Wan will not support him!"

Prime Minister Mu sneered and said sarcastically.

"This kid is still too young. Does he think he can fly once he has grown wings? If he really wants to break away from the support of the Mu family and act on his own, then let him give it a try and see if he can succeed! Or will he become a joke? Hahaha..."

The butler said nothing, lowered his head silently, a drop of sweat seeped out of his forehead. He was glad that he didn't say too much, otherwise, with the master's temper, he didn't know how he would deal with him.

Master is still like this,

It has been like this since I was young - domineering!

The third prince left the Prime Minister's Mansion with his guards, got on the carriage, coughed twice, and called his guards into the carriage.

"drive!"

The driver whipped his horse whip and the carriage started moving slowly.

The Third Prince lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion disappeared from his sight. His face was cold, and the respect he showed to Prime Minister Mu disappeared. He looked coldly at his guard Mo Yu and asked.

"Mo Yu, tell me, what should I do?"

Mo Yu's face flickered, then he bowed his head and said respectfully: "I don't understand what Your Highness means, please explain it to me."

The third prince sneered.

"Don't pretend. You heard everything clearly in there. If you really don't know what I mean, then why would I keep you around? I don't keep fools around!"

Mo Yu shuddered, then knelt down in front of the Third Prince in the carriage.

"I know my mistake!"

After admitting his mistake, Mo Yu spoke hesitantly.

"In my humble opinion, Your Highness can go to the palace to ask the Imperial Concubine for her opinion. The Imperial Concubine is devoted to planning for Your Highness and will definitely be able to come up with a good solution for Your Highness. Moreover..."

"What's more, Prime Minister Mu is the imperial concubine's father. Now that his daughter has spoken, a father must listen to her. Is that what you mean?"

The Third Prince interrupted Mo Yu's next words, but his tone was full of contempt and disdain, but it was not known whether the contempt and disdain were directed at the Imperial Concubine or Prime Minister Mu.

Mo Yu didn't dare to speak now.

The third prince's face was tense and his eyes were filled with sarcasm.

"If only it were as simple as you said, my mother would be Prime Minister Mu's daughter, and I would be Prime Minister Mu's grandson! But so what? Neither my mother nor I can be the master of the Mu family. The real master of the Mu family is Prime Minister Mu, my good grandfather. As for my mother..."

"Most of her glory in the harem now comes from the Mu family, that is, her natal family. The Mu family is her backer. How could she take my words to heart? I absolutely cannot let her risk offending her backer to help my son, haha!"

Mo Yu even breathed much lighter.

He really didn't know how to respond.
