Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 153 The plan begins

Ji Qichen could send letters from the palace to the border openly without fear of being seen, because he had sent a letter every two days in recent years, and those who were wary of him had long since relaxed their guard.

He used to often feel bored, so he wrote to his study partner to ask how he was doing in the frontier and whether he had made any new discoveries.

Xu Guangzhu also wrote back about the scenes of his heroic killing of the enemies, as well as some situations on the border.

Thinking about it this way, Ji Qichen found that he was quite familiar with the border.

He quickly found out the letters that Xu Guangzhu had received in recent years and extracted useful information from between the lines of his reading companions.

Shen Qiu was not idle either. He found a book from home.

Don't underestimate this small book, it records the secrets he has dug out from the homes of dignitaries over the years!

In the past few years, Shen Qiu has played the role of a servant very vividly, going from house to house without being discovered!

Let him see what leverage the young lady has over those families she wants to win over!

Shen Qiu smiled sinisterly, but when he turned to those pages, his smile froze.

He suddenly remembered the memories of visiting those families before. They were poor, too poor!

Their weakness is poverty.

Shen Qiu found it difficult to put into words when he recalled that memory.

That time he had pretended to be a servant in order to sneak in, but who would have thought that those families only had so many servants that they could be counted on one hand!

He was almost discovered!

Fortunately, someone in one of the families was sick, so he pretended to be a doctor and sneaked in.

Shen Qiu: ...

Oh wait!

He seems to be a doctor!

The family was wearing coarse linen clothes and the room layout seemed simple but was actually plain.

After Shen Qiu felt the pulse of the lady of that family, he witnessed with his own eyes the official of that family personally bringing over a bowl of somewhat watery white porridge.

It completely refreshed Shen Qiu's impression of officials!

He suddenly realized that he seemed to have lived better than these officials in recent years.

Shen Qiu felt a little confused, could this situation be real?

How could he be compared with the officials?

Before he left, he asked the official, "Why are you so poor?"

The official just smiled bitterly and said, "I am not poor. There are people who are poorer than me."

Shen Qiu couldn't believe it, how could this not be considered poor?

But Shen Qiu immediately believed it because the other official residence he visited was even poorer!

Shen Qiu ended his reminiscence and casually threw the notebook in his hand onto the table.

This time, the young lady gave him a difficult problem: how to persuade these families to support the third prince?

And I don’t know how the ladies were chosen. These families are all very poor, so poor that they don’t look like officials.

Moreover, they are all censors. What’s the point of Miss asking them to support the third prince?

So if they are paid with money, will they agree?

Shen Qiu felt it was very difficult, but he might as well give it a try.

He straightened his clothes and tried to test whether they were interested in money.

But Shen Qiu seemed to have vaguely guessed the final outcome.

Mu Tangxi looked at the maid in front of him and sighed. Suddenly, he felt that as soon as Mu Lianxue entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, the surroundings suddenly became lively.

"Why did you suddenly fall down?" Mu Tangxi looked at the maid lying on the ground gently.

The maid's eyes were erratic, and she kept saying one thing, "Miss, even if you are the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can't bully me like this!"

Mu Tangxi: "..."

She hadn't felt choked like this in a long time.

This unknown maid rushed in front of Mu Tangxi who was looking at the flowers from somewhere, bumped into her hard, and then fell to the ground.

Mu Tangxi was stunned for a moment. How could this frame-up be so blatant?

She sighed again, "You should get up first."

The maidservant lay motionless on the ground and looked up at Mu Tangxi, "I can't get up."

Mu Tangxi had just opened his mouth when he heard footsteps behind him.

But she just stood there calmly without taking any other action, which surprised the maid who was ready to respond.

"Sister, what are you doing?" a familiar voice came.

But after hearing these words, Mu Tangxi's pupils shrank quickly for a moment.

She shuddered imperceptibly.

So disgusting...

This was the first time she heard Mu Lianxue call her sister, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Mu Tangxi turned around and saw Mu Lianxue, Mu Jinrong, Lin Xueruo and his father at a glance.

At first glance, I thought they were a family and Mu Tangxi was the outsider.

Mu Tangxi bowed to his father before answering Mu Lianxue's question, "I didn't do anything."

Mu Lianxue couldn't stand Mu Tangxi's leisurely look, "You didn't do anything, what's going on with that maid on the ground?"

Mu Wenyu didn't say anything, but just looked at his two daughters with strange eyes.

Especially on Mu Lianxue.

Mu Tangxi glanced at the maid who was shivering uncontrollably on the ground, "She just fell down accidentally."

The maid paused and looked up at the eldest lady in surprise, only to see tolerance and gentleness in her eyes.

She had clearly bumped into the young lady hard just now, why didn't the young lady tell anyone about it?

She had wanted to slander the young lady as planned, but maybe now she could just go along with what the young lady said and pretend nothing had happened.

Just when the maid was hesitant, she heard her master say, "Is that so? Then why did she fall right in front of her sister?"

The maid looked up and subconsciously glanced at Mu Lianxue, and found that Mu Lianxue had been staring at her coldly!

The maid shuddered instantly, and the hesitation in her eyes turned into determination. She said to the master, "Please be clear, Master, it was the eldest lady who pushed me down for no reason and stepped on me several times!"

"The eldest lady must have been because I saw her discussing with others in the room how to frame the fourth young master!"

Mu Tangxi looked at the maid with regret. It was a pity that she was going to die soon.

I don’t know what evidence Mu Lianxue had on her that made this maid risk her life like this.

You have to know that no matter whether this matter is true or false, as long as she tells it, she will definitely die.

Mu Lianxue concealed the satisfied look in her eyes and questioned the maid with a slightly surprised tone, "How is it possible? How could my sister want to harm Jinrong!"

The slave was able to successfully produce the "evidence". "I have never said a single word of falsehood! This is the plan written down by the young lady and that person that I got while the young lady was away!"

Mu Tangxi stood by and watched this farce with cold eyes, but at least he was not bored anymore.

Mu Wenyu looked at the evidence in the maid's hand with subtle eyes, raised his hand slightly, and the servant next to him hurriedly took the evidence and handed it to the master.
