"Aunt Qu, aren't you an old man in Muhou Mansion? You don't understand these rules, so what are you thinking about?"

At the end of this sentence, Mu Qiaoxi's tone suddenly changed, adding a bit of intriguing banter.

Alarm bells suddenly sounded in Su's heart, but she couldn't let Mu Qiaoxi suspect that Aunt Qu was the person she sent to monitor her!

But at this moment, Nanny Qu hugged Su Shi's thigh with runny nose and tears and refused to let go.

"Miss, you can't be so merciless when you speak. This old slave comes from the mistress's yard, so he will respect you with all due respect! He shouldn't be beaten and scolded like this by you, let alone

To be accused like this."

Aunt Qu thought she was heartbroken from crying, but in fact, to Mu Qiaoxi's ears, all she heard was noise.

Su's face was somewhat embarrassed, and she raised her hand to push Aunt Qu away with a stiff face.

"Okay, you don't even look at where this place is. You know you are wronged, so you shouldn't be so disrespectful of face. It's just that you should not offend the eldest lady like this!"

With these words, Mrs. Su acknowledged Aunt Qu's grievances.

Mu Qiaoxi was not in a hurry.

However, Mrs. Su was filled with rage and felt indescribable aggrievedness. This idiot, Aunt Qu, was trying to get at her at this time. Didn't she offend Mu Qiaoxi and drag her into the water?

?!

When Mu Qiaoxi was full, she put down her bowls and chopsticks, took the handkerchief from Hong Xiu's hand and wiped her mouth.

"Mother, you are so merciful that you let Aunt Qu relax her rules. This is in my yard right now, and I dare not go out and insult my mother's reputation. If this goes to someone else's yard, I will be beaten to death and maimed.

, after all, it will bring shame on the mother."

Mu Qiaoxi's words were full of threats, which made Mother Qu's heart almost tremble.

Mrs. Su understood what Mu Qiaoxi meant. It was precisely because Aunt Qu was leaving her yard that she had to know more about the rules to avoid telling the truth.

When Aunt Qu thought that she would really be humiliated by Mu Qiao Xi, so as to set an example to others, Mrs. Su said: "After all, you are also our young lady. Punishing servants will naturally be done by slaves.

What does it mean if you do it yourself?"

Aunt Qu was also happy in her heart, but hitting her was nothing? But beating her in front of Su Shi, how could this little bitch keep her mouth shut?!

How could Mu Qiaoxi not know about the vicious calculation in her heart.

I saw Mu Qiaoxi smiling and speaking resonantly, "Because I am a member of my mother's yard, it would be a joke to leave it to the servants to punish me. As long as I am here, no one can disgrace my mother's reputation."

."

Although the words were meant for Su, Mu Qiaoxi's eyes were always looking at Aunt Qu in front of her.

There was an embarrassed look on Su's face and she didn't reply for a long time. Aunt Qu knew that she originally wanted to please Su today, but she didn't expect so much, so Mu Qiaoxi took advantage of the loophole. Now that she was in the wrong, if she asked Su again

I'm afraid it will only add fuel to the fire.

She gritted her teeth and slapped herself in the face one by one.

"The slave deserves to die, the slave deserves to die..."

Mu Qiaoxi didn't have time to watch the drama between her master and servant.

"I'm full, mother, take it easy." Mu Qiaoxi stood up, took her red sleeves with her, and left the side hall.

As soon as he stepped out of the hanging flower door, Butler Li had already bowed respectfully and waited for a long time.

"Miss, Mr. Marquis, please come over and have a chat."

Mu Zhen?

Mu Qiaoxi responded with a soft 'hmm', but she secretly thought about it in her heart.

Mu Zhen asked him to come over, presumably not because of Granny Qu's trivial matter. According to his personality, he would probably say anything in front of Su, so what else could he do?

Mu Qiaoxi thought about it, walked to the door of the study, signaled Hongxiu to wait behind, and entered alone.

In the study, Mu Zhen was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the books in his hands casually.

The impeachment of the Minister of Rites is not painful, but the previous dynasty often affects the whole body. Mu Zhen has been wandering in it for many years, so he can naturally taste some different clues.

"Xi'er is here."

Hearing Mu Zhen's voice, she bowed lightly: "Father, why did you come to me?"

Mu Zhen didn't speak for a long time, but looked at Mu Qiao Xi to sit down first.

She couldn't make up her mind, so she simply stayed the same in response to changes, waiting for what Mu Zhen would say.

Mu Zhen sighed, but the book in his hand tapped on the table.

"Xi'er, I have always felt uneasy during this time as a father. Tell the truth. What happened to the python robe?"

Mu Qiaoxi did not expect that this was what Mu Zhen was worried about.

Seeing her stunned expression, Mu Zhen was still worried.

"The wealth of the Tianjia seems to be something that others can only dream of. Even though I am happy that you have found a way to success, in the final analysis, there are unfathomable dangers around the Tianjia."

In the eyes of others, these words are considered disrespectful.

But Mu Zhen has reached the end of his middle age, and has long looked down on fame, fortune and merit. Family is the most important thing, especially the daughter of his late wife.

When Mu Qiaoxi heard this, he must be lying if he said he wasn't touched in his heart. Mu Zhen was not a good talker, so being able to express his worries in such an awkward manner was enough for Mu Qiaoxi.

"I have written down all my father's concerns, but the distinction between king and minister is an eternal truth. As ministers, how can we refuse the superior's wishes? We can only take it one step at a time."

There was something in Mu Qiaoxi's words. Mu Zhen tasted it carefully, and a light flashed in his mind.

He looked at Mu Qiaoxi in front of him with surprised eyes.

Mu Zhen never thought that his daughter, who he had always declared bad and was known for being domineering, would be so enlightened.

As a minister, it is natural to be loyal to the emperor, but when Mu Qiaoxi said these words, he told Mu Zhen openly and secretly.

She obeyed the prince's will because she was loyal as a courtier. She took every step and knew that she would protect herself wisely in this court situation.

When Mu Qiaoxi saw Mu Zhen's relaxed expression, she also smiled bitterly in her heart.

How else can we take one step at a time? It’s just a matter of trying to survive in the cracks by reporting good news but not bad news.

Mu Zhen seemed to have a sudden idea, and his tone had a unique charm.

"But Xi'er, there is a slave named Mo Yan by your side recently. Are you still serving him with all your heart?"

Mu Qiaoxi almost sat down on the ground.

Why did Mu Zhen suddenly mention Mo Yan?

Oh my god, my god, Mu Qiaoxi was so nervous that she grabbed her hand under her sleeve.

His probing eyes were always on Mu Qiaoxi's face. It was obvious that mentioning Mo Yan today was not casual.

Mu Qiaoxi's face was normal, her phoenix eyes were slightly lowered with a look of disdain and arrogance: "I'm just an insignificant servant, how can I let you, father, take notice of me?"

"It's not worth mentioning? As a father, you seem to have a lot of trust in him." How could Mu Zhen believe what Mu Qiao Xi said and kept pressing forward step by step?

"Don't say that this person is definitely not a kind person."
