Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 170 Trial

Mu Lianxue looked at Pan Qingkong, the son of the Shangshu, who had a noble temperament and a handsome face, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that you have such a deep understanding of poetry."

Pan Qingkong nodded slightly. He was originally just curious about the woman's literary talent, but after some communication, he changed his opinion of the woman.

She could talk to him fluently about the emotions contained in those stories, and Pan Qingkong had been chatting with her for a long time without realizing it.

Pan Qingkong left reluctantly until the sun set. Before leaving, he made an appointment with her to come to this place to continue tomorrow.

After seeing Pan Qingkong leave, Mu Lianxue raised a smug smile. She had learned those poems since elementary school. She just made up a few lines to express the author's homesickness or the author's ambitions after being demoted...

Didn’t he fool the son of a minister?

But Mu Lianxue frowned as she looked at the sky outside. Why did she chat with that person for so long? !

My mother and brother won’t find out, right?

As Mu Lianxue thought so, she quickened her pace, but before leaving, the waiter of the restaurant asked for a large sum of money.

If Mu Lianxue didn't want to waste any more time, she wouldn't have paid so much money!

The clerk looked at the silver in his hand with a smile and recorded it slowly in the account.

When Mu Lianxue hurried back to the mansion, she found that the maids and servants in the mansion were looking at her with very strange eyes.

It was not until the servant beside her father asked her to go to the hall that Mu Lianxue walked towards the hall with trepidation. As soon as she entered, she knew that the matter was serious.

In the hall, the father and the lady who had not been seen for a long time sat in the upper seats, the mother and younger brother sat below the father, and Mu Tangxi and the three brothers sat below the lady.

Mu Lianxue was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, and her heartbeat instantly quickened.

Mu Jinfeng looked at this woman with a sarcastic eye. She actually sneaked out of the house and played outside until so late before coming back. She was so bold.

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinfeng were somewhat curious about who that man was.

Mu Tangxi had been sitting here with her mother, brothers and others for a long time, so long that she was hungry.

She picked up the snacks on the table and started eating.

As for why they appeared here, of course it was because their mother brought them here.

Mu Wenyu felt more and more headache. Originally, he just wanted to ask Lianxue alone, but why did it become a joint trial now?

Mu Lianxue asked with a trembling voice, "Did father ask me to come here for something?"

Xu Jingshu sneered. How could she miss this opportunity? "Mu Lianxue, what do you want to do by sneaking out of the house?!"

Mu Lianxue's face turned pale and she subconsciously looked at her mother, wanting her mother to help her explain.

Lin Xueruo's expression froze when she was stared at. Lianxue wondered if she wanted her to help speak up?

How do you say this?

"Lianxue must be feeling a little bored at home, so she went out for a walk."

Mu Lianxue nodded quickly after hearing this, "Yes, that's right!"

Xu Jingshu did not question immediately, but looked at the master instead.

Mu Wenyu's face showed no emotion at all. "So where did you go today?"

Mu Lianxue lowered her head and said, "I went to the restaurant to eat."

"Eating alone in a private room with a man?"

Mu Lianxue's breathing stagnated and her eyes were a little panicked. She wanted to explain herself, but she couldn't figure out how to do it.

Her father had obviously sent someone to investigate her affairs. How should she accept this?

Before Mu Lianxue could come up with a plan, Xu Jingshu spoke again, "Sister Lin didn't teach Lianxue well. Why don't I send a few nannies to Lianxue?"

Although her tone was inquiring, she did not leave any leeway for Mu Lianxue.

Lin Xueruo's eyes flashed with disgust, and she gently retorted, "Don't bother, Madam. I will personally ask the nanny to teach her."

Xu Jingshu said with a hint of doubt, "Where can you go to invite her? I know the nanny in charge of the palace, so why not let me go and invite her."

She secretly mocked Lin Xueruo's connections. Where else could Lin Xueruo go to hire a nanny? She would definitely have to pay for it, but the nanny she hired might not be good.

Lin Xueruo's face darkened, and then she looked at her husband with a pleading look.

But Mu Wenyu didn't say anything. He really thought that Mu Lianxue needed discipline.

If she continues like this, the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be ruined by her!

Mu Tangxi took a bite of the pastry and took a sip of tea, looking relaxed and at ease.

In her opinion, Mu Lianxue's experience this time was still a good drama.

And she didn't really care what her parents thought of her. She was hungry and she didn't want to endure hunger!

Mu Jinfeng, Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi couldn't help feeling a little hungry when they saw their sister's actions. Anyway, this matter was none of their business, so it should be okay to just eat some pastries, right?

When Mu Lianxue heard the word "housekeeper", she felt terrified, especially since it was a housekeeper in the palace, which was even more terrifying.

She knelt down and begged for her father's forgiveness, shirking responsibility, "Father, it was that Shangshu's son Pan Qingkong who has been pestering me. This is the first time I met him today!"

Mu Wenyu's eyes swept over the child who was eating over there calmly, and finally set his eyes on Mu Jinbai, "Jinbai, what do you think?"

Mu Jinbai:?

He swallowed the cake quickly.

"Father, let's follow mother's advice and find a nanny to take care of her. I don't think she knows much about etiquette."

Mu Wenyu nodded, "Lianxue, since everyone is suggesting this, I will ask Madam to find a few nannies to discipline you. You are not allowed to go out until you have learned well!"

Mu Lianxue was stunned, "Father, I didn't..."

Before she could finish her words, Mu Lianxue was given a cold look by her father, and she was frightened into silence.

"Do you have anything else to say? Fine me three months' salary."

Mu Jinbai and Mu Jinxi were about to laugh out loud. She was the only one who wanted to go against them?

Xu Jingshu was not surprised by this ending. She just interrupted at the end of the story and asked, "Does Lianxue like the son of the minister?"

"How about I send someone to the Shangshu Mansion to inquire about your intention to marry? If it works, it will be a good thing."

She wanted to stab Lin Xueruo's heart with every needle. Even if the son of the Shangshu really liked Mu Lianxue, his parents would not agree to let their son marry a daughter from a concubine!

But Xu Jingshu didn't know that Mu Lianxue was not Lin Xueruo's biological daughter, and even if she was, it wouldn't cause any harm to her.

Lin Xueruo glanced at Xu Jingshu indifferently, still holding Jinrong tightly in her arms. She didn't know why this child cared so much about Lianxue. She almost ran over just now.
