Family affection? Is it important to have rights?

Chapter 131 Meeting of Four

Mu Tangxi randomly picked out a moon-white dress with plum blossom patterns. She chose this color because she remembered that the third prince was wearing this color when she first met him.

So she wanted to use this to test the third prince.

Mu Tangxi took Dongzhu on the carriage. The road to the suburbs was quite far, so she first imagined what would happen next.

But she never expected that when she arrived at the agreed location, she would see such a scene.

Mu Tangxi stared at the scene in front of him with a dazed look in his amber eyes.

Gu Shiming and Gu Shiyin did not sleep at all because they were worried about Miss Mu all night long. They set out for the agreed location at dawn.

The third prince Ji Qichen was thinking, he couldn't let Miss Mu wait for him, right?

So he set off early as well.

Then, the three of them met. At first, they were just chatting about some simple topics.

But at some point, the topic suddenly turned to Mu Tangxi.

Gu Shiyin spoke first: "Your Highness the Third Prince, I wonder what you think of Miss Mu? After all, you are going to get married in a few months."

Gu Shiyin almost uttered the second half of the sentence through gritted teeth.

She tossed and turned last night, and began to hate that she was not a man, so that she could marry Sister Tangxi openly!

Sister Tangxi is so gentle and kind. She encouraged her when she was on the verge of death. What’s more, Sister Tangxi is so beautiful!

Anyway, after what happened to her father, Gu Shiyin always had a feeling of disgust towards men. Of course, she didn't feel the same way towards her brother, after all, her brother had also been persecuted by that man.

Gu Shiyin's eyes flashed with jealousy, and her attention was focused on the face of the Third Prince.

If he showed any resistance, Gu Shiyin guaranteed that the Third Prince would never live to see his wedding day!

Gu Shiming did not stop him, as this was what he wanted to ask.

Being stared at by two pairs of eyes, Ji Qichen felt a chill on his back. He thought carefully about his impression and opinion of Miss Mu, and replied: "In fact, I only met Miss Mu once at General Xu's wedding banquet five years ago, and I didn't have much impression of her."

The biggest impression she had was that she envied her for having a father who was as loyal and affectionate as the prime minister and had no other women.

As a result, I was slapped in the face yesterday.

Gu Shiyin was obviously not satisfied with this vague answer, so she continued to ask: "Do you have a loved one now?"

Although this sentence is a bit straightforward, it is also extremely important. Gu Shiyin is so bold because he is sure that the Third Prince will not vent his anger on the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion, and he cannot vent his anger on the Marquis of Jingyang Mansion.

Ji Qichen found that this scene felt a bit like parents worrying about their child’s marriage.

Marquis Jingyang has a very good relationship with his sister and Miss Mu.

Ji Qichen sighed, "There is no one I love."

Gu Shiyin continued to ask with full fighting spirit, "Then why haven't you married in all these years?" She relied on the fact that the Third Prince had no power and was easy to bully.

Although he used honorifics, Ji Qichen could still see the deep suspicion in Gu Shiyin's eyes.

"Because I want to find someone I love to marry."

Ji Qichen didn't think this sentence was a big deal, but Gu Shiming and Gu Shiyin seemed to be irritated, and even the smiles on their faces disappeared.

Loved ones...

Gu Luo took his anger out on his mother by beating and scolding her because he didn't love her. In the end, he found a so-called beloved in a brothel and wanted to marry her as his concubine!

Even the prime minister, who has always been loyal and affectionate, has a lover outside and has kept it secret until now!

The child is almost as old as Miss Mu!

What would happen if the Third Prince met his beloved after marrying Miss Mu?

Will he bring his beloved back home and make her his concubine like Gu Luo did, or will he place his beloved outside the house like the Prime Minister did and keep it a secret from Miss Mu?

When Ji Qichen realized something was wrong, Gu Shiming and Gu Shiyin had already put on their fake smiles again and started talking in a sarcastic tone.

Gu Shiming said a sentence, and Gu Shiyin followed.

"Then I wish the Third Prince to find his true love in his next life, even though he may not find it just like he did in this life."

"What a pity, His Majesty actually granted marriage to His Highness who wanted to find his beloved. Isn't this harming Miss Mu?"

Ji Qichen was confused. What crime had he committed?

He didn't say anything bad about anyone just now, why did they suddenly become like this?

Ji Qichen replied cautiously, "This is a marriage granted by His Majesty. Miss Mu and I must obey the emperor's order."

The anger in Gu Shiyin's eyes suddenly surged up like a flame that was poured with oil.

Of course she knew that this was a marriage granted by His Majesty and there was no room for redemption. Was there any need for him to say anything? !

If it was an ordinary marriage proposal, she would have instigated her brother to intercept it long ago!

The imperial decree issued by His Majesty can only be carried out if one of them dies.

Ji Qichen felt increasingly cold on his back and he looked around in confusion. The sun was exceptionally bright today, so why did he feel cold?

Gu Shiming was silent. He looked at the third prince carefully. His appearance... was okay, and there were no women around him. As for his status, the third prince might become a leisurely prince in the future and would not participate in the fight for the throne.

Therefore, it is not bad for Miss Mu to marry him...

The air pressure around Gu Shiming became increasingly low, and he seemed to become completely gloomy.

However, what if the third prince dies young?

Then he still has a chance!

Only a few princes can live to the end of their lives, so Gu Shiming can afford to wait!

Gu Shiyin sneered, "I wonder if the Third Prince is satisfied with this marriage. It seems to me that the Third Prince doesn't know Miss Mu very well."

Ji Qichen nodded. He felt that this gathering was a bit like a trial by three judges, and the people who came were not well-intentioned.

Gu Shiyin paused, then changed the subject, speaking softly and in a gentle tone, as if she had never been at odds with the Third Prince before, "I wonder how many concubines the Third Prince plans to take in in the future?"

This sentence also seems to be a casual question.

Ji Qichen really thought about it and decided that if he didn't have a loved one, he could take in a few concubines who loved him.

After all, he is not a gentleman like the prime minister. No, the prime minister is not like that now.

This also proves that there is no man in the world who always loves his wife and only his wife.

Love will fade with time, appearance will age with time, and relationships will not always be harmonious.

Even if a man really only loves one person, as long as he wants to climb up, he has to accept various exchanges of interests. If he wants to secure the interests, he has to be tied to the same boat, such as marrying his daughter or taking her daughter as his wife.

Ji Qichen claims to be an ordinary person, so why does he want to pursue a lifelong partner?

Of course, after meeting Mu Tangxi, Ji Qichen suddenly felt that he seemed to look down on others.

As soon as Mu Tangxi got off the carriage, she saw the Third Prince and Shi Yin smiling, but their words were sharp and evenly matched, while Gu Shiming, on the other hand, was thinking about something with his head down with an expressionless face.
