Shen Ruoshui held his breath in his chest, but he could only endure it. For the sake of her daughter, she had to bow to Mu Xuefu at this time. Mu Xuefu has fallen out of favor, and the position of the princess is almost impossible to keep, as long as her daughter can enter the mansion as a side concubine, and when Mu Xuefu is suspended, she will naturally sit on the position of the main concubine. The momentary humiliation is nothing, even if Mu Xuefu wants her to kowtow and pour tea, she will admit it. After putting up with it for a while, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get out of this breath?

She pulled out a smile that was not sincere, and said, "The princess is joking, who dares to take your place." My family Menglian doesn't have that much ambition, she just wants to seek a position as a side concubine. ”

The corners of Mu Xuefu's mouth raised slightly, "Although she is the concubine of King Chen, maybe she is just a concubine, can Madame really bear to let her baby daughter be a concubine?" She snorted softly, very slightly, "Although Mrs. is not the original match, but in the end it is also a steproom, and everyone before and after is respected as Mrs. Zuoxiang." How did he get to his wife and daughter, so she had no ambitions, was she really willing to be a concubine? Speaking of this, Mu Xuefu gasped, let out a "tsk", and suddenly realized: "Oh, look at my memory, how did I forget that my wife also changed from a concubine to a stepmother." To put it this way, the second lady is not without hope to follow the same path as Madame. ”

Shen Ruoshui's face was like a layer of blue-white powder, she hated others the most for saying that she was a stepfamily and a concubine, but at this time, Mu Xuefu did not leave a word, and kept using words to sarcastically mock their mother and daughter.

She glared at Mu Xuefu fiercely, her gums itched with hatred, her hand grasped the armrest of the chair, and the green tendons on the back of her hand were like cyan earthworms, coiled and twisted like her face, "I was originally kind, seeing that you were weak in King Chen's mansion, and now you have lost King Chen's favor, so I want to let Lian'er enter the mansion to help you." It's good that she can blow the wind in her ears in front of King Chen, so that you won't be divorced and lose the face of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. But you don't know what to do or worse, and you ridicule our mother and daughter in turn, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and you don't know the hearts of good people. ”

"Madame's words are better than singing, how have you ever been kind to me for so many years, and you can even say good things for me, and you are not afraid of being sorry. There's no one else, you don't have to pretend, who is it for? Mu Xuefu ruthlessly tore off the mask that Shen Ruoshui was wearing, and spoke bluntly. She yawned, leaned lazily on the chair, and slapped her waist, "As for falling out of favor, that's what you're looking forward to, don't you know that you've been hoping that I will be rejected by the prince since I entered the palace of King Chen." You see that the prince snubbed me a few days ago, so he moved his mind and wanted Mu Menglian to replace me. ”

The charming autumn water eyes were gently raised, and they were full of charms, like the peach blossoms of a tree, "But, I and the prince are just playing with a flower gun, and now he doesn't know how much he treats me like a jewel, he is afraid to touch it in the palm of his hand, and he is afraid to melt in his mouth, except for me, he can't tolerate anyone in his eyes." ”

Shen Ruoshui snorted lightly and said disdainfully: "You are really good at putting gold on your face." Like a jewel? On the emperor's birthday, everyone saw King Chen embracing others, but he was cold to you. You are clearly out of favor, and you are still slapping my swollen face and becoming fat. ”

Hearing this, there was a cold wind blowing gently in Mu Xuefu's eyes, her face sank at first, and then she raised a smile, and her eyebrows were dyed with pride, "It's just once, what is it?" Compared with my wife watching Xiangye hug other women every day, I feel much better. Besides, I just used a little trick to make the prince change his mind, such a skill, you should really learn from me. Otherwise, I will teach you a few tricks for it, and let you tie the heart of the master. ”

Mu Xuefu hit Shen Ruoshui's sore spot again and again, so that she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, like a volcanic explosion, the surging magma burst out directly. She glared at Mu Xuefu angrily, spat on the ground, gritted her teeth, and cursed: "Fox Meizi, it is worthy of being a cheap seed born by women outside, they are all the same cheap, and they will only seduce men one wall." ”

With a "poof", a cluster of flames sparked in Mu Xuefu's eyes, like the wick of a burning candle in the dark night, jumping uncertainly. Her eyes were actually overwhelming, looking straight at Shen Ruoshui, her face was expressionless, and Shen Ruoshui was frightened by her cold eyes, and then she retracted her gaze faintly.

"Speaking of foxes, the princess doesn't dare to get an axe in front of her wife, and the affair of her wife back then is still widely spread." With a sneer in her mouth, Mu Xuefu took the tea lid to scrape off the foamy dregs floating on the tea surface, and didn't drink it, but just kept buttoning it, and it made a crisp sound, "Before you enter the main room, you will enter as a concubine, and before that, the pearl fetus is secretly knotted, and the princess can't learn that skill." ”

Suddenly, she pressed down the tea lid hard, and the fierceness in her voice was fully revealed, and Qingqing Ling slid like scissors on the fine silk, "It's better for you to be careful when you speak, if you dare to bully me and my mother next time, even Xiangye can't protect you." ”

Not wanting to entangle with her any longer, Mu Xuefu got up and left, leaving only this one sentence.

When he returned to the main hall, Jing Rong was already waiting, drinking tea and playing chess with Mu Zhaolin. Looking at Mu Menglian, who was sitting next to Mu Zhaolin but facing the scene, she snorted unconsciously. With a smile on his lips, he walked to Jing Rong and sat down.

"Second Miss has never been good at chess, why is she so Yaxing watching chess today?" Mu Xuefu looked at Mu Menglian with a smile and said.

Mu Menglian was stunned, there was a trace of unnaturalness on her face, her eyes unconsciously fluttered on Jing Rong's face, and replied: "Recently, I happened to study chess, and my father and the prince played against each other, so I came to join in the fun." ”

"Oh." Mushoff's voice was lengthened, with a meaningful meaning. The inquiring gaze was fixed on her, "Do you see why?" ”

was asked again and again, Mu Menglian wondered in her heart, she didn't know what Mu Xuefu had in mind, so she answered carefully, for fear of falling into her trap. hesitated for a moment, and said: "Daddy's chess skills are high, and the prince's chess skills are exquisite, and the two of them are equal." ”

"Second Miss's words are equivalent to not saying them, and talking is better than nothing." Mu Xuefu pursed her lips impatiently, with a look of disgust. She hugged Jingrong's arm, rested her head on his shoulder, looked at the chess board, hooked her lips, and said, "Father lost this game." ”

As soon as the words came out, Mu Zhaolin nodded seriously and said, "Looking at the chess table, the father and the prince are evenly matched, how can you see that the father has lost?" ”

Mu Xuefu raised her eyebrows slightly, her bright eyes gradually deepened, and she seemed to smile and said: "Obviously, my father's balance is just an appearance, in fact, you are not only set up by the prince, but also embattled." Does Father want to go down again? Without waiting for Mu Zhaolin to answer, Mu Xuefu continued: "If I were my father, I would definitely stop now, and I could save face." If you insist on going your own way, if you don't measure yourself, you will definitely be killed by the prince without leaving a piece of armor, and then you will have no place to be ashamed. In fact, winning or losing has been decided before playing chess, although my father is a master, but my husband is better, just like a fisheye and a pearl, how can it be compared? ”

Although Mu Xuefu's words were said to Mu Zhaolin, they were actually said to Mu Menglian. reminded her that it was best to dispel the idea of Jingrong now, otherwise something would happen at that time, and she, the second lady of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion, would have no face. also took out the analogy of fish eyes and pearls, which was clearly a sarcasm that Mu Menglian was the immeasurable fish eye, which could not be compared with her brilliant pearl at all.

Of course, Mu Zhaolin knew that his chess board seemed to be on an equal footing with King Chen, but it was just an illusion created by King Chen, he seemed to be in a light wind, but he was pressing step by step, squeezing himself into a dead end. And Mu Xuefu's words, how could he not know that they were agreeable, and he also expected what Shen Ruoshui said to her just now.

After he told Mu Xuefu last time, he knew what she meant, so he no longer wanted to promote the matter, and warned Shen not to mention it again. Unexpectedly, the Shen family didn't take his words to heart, and took advantage of his absence, and in a blink of an eye, he privately looked for Mu Xuefu. This Shen is really getting bolder and bolder, and even dares to disobey his words!

Mu Zhaolin Lang smiled, his laughter was hearty, revealing his doting on Mu Xuefu, "You, how can you be so sarcastic about your father?" It's true that when you have a husband, you forget your father, and you don't save face for your father at all. After saying "go" three times in a row, Mu Zhaolin slapped twice on the chessboard, "Even my father can be compared to a fish's eye, you really want to be angry with me." ”

Mu Zhaolin threw the chess pieces that were stuck in his hand into the chess box, obviously admitting defeat.

Mu Menglian saw that her father had already admitted defeat before she had lost, and it was inevitable that she would not be convinced, she didn't care if her father lost or not, but this game of chess was like her fate, and she couldn't admit defeat. Mu Menglian picked up the chess piece discarded by Mu Zhaolin from the chessboard, found the position she had just seen and dropped it gently, looked at Mu Xuefu confidently, and said: "This chess is only halfway through, no one knows what the outcome will be, as long as there is still one, it may turn defeat into victory and turn things around." ”

"Really?" Mu Xuefu asked rhetorically, picked up a chess piece and fell, and suddenly the white piece held by Mu Menglian was killed without leaving a piece of armor. She smiled softly, as if a feather had touched her skin, and then her voice was not as soft as laughter, but stared at Mu Menglian deadly, word by word, like a red-hot soldering iron falling on her skin, "Heaven is destined, you can't live, some people, some things, have lost from the beginning." If you find another way, you may find another village, but if you go to the dark and don't see the coffin and don't shed tears, there is only a dead end. ”

This sentence was like a spell, and it was still haunting Mu Menglian's mind until Mu Xuefu left.

Seeing his father reprimanding his mother mercilessly for this matter, the heat in his heart for King Chen was like a hot stone thrown into the ice, and he made a few "zizi" sounds, and a wisp of heat came out, and it faded.

Yes, she has lost from the beginning, from the day Mu Xuefu and King Chen got married, from the day the marriage decree was sent, and from the day her father chose Mu Xuefu as Princess Chen, she has already lost.
