Chapter 187 Father is the Root
Chapter 187 Father is the Root
Mu Tangxi knew very well what Mu Jinrong had become after being taught by Lin Xueruo.
A child who protects his loved ones and knows right from wrong.
So when she noticed that Mu Jinrong's attitude towards her suddenly became better, she wondered if Mu Jinrong knew her identity.
These words are also for the final confirmation.
It can be said that Lin Xueruo is very capable and is very serious in teaching Mu Jinrong. It may be because Mu Jinrong is so much like her father that she can't help but pay attention to him.
Lin Xueruo successfully raised a child who is even better than her.
Apart from being influenced by Lin Xueruo, he is particularly obedient to the words of his relatives.
Maybe she didn't want Mu Jinrong to leave her one day, or maybe it was Lin Xueruo's own yearning for family affection, so she subconsciously influenced Mu Jinrong.
Mu Tangxi lowered his eyes and observed Mu Jinrong's expression.
Mu Jinrong still looked like he hadn't come back to his senses, immersed in the idea of figuring out who was right and who was wrong.
It was my sister who harmed Mu Jinxi first, so it seemed like there was nothing wrong with Mu Tangxi stabbing my sister.
My sister had harmed Mu Jinbai before, but that was because he bullied mother!
If it were in the past, Mu Jinrong would decisively stand on the side of his family, but now that he knew that Mu Tangxi was his biological sister and his mother's attitude towards this, he hesitated.
Should he stand on the side of his sister who he grew up with, or on the side of his biological sister, whom his mother considers his biological daughter?
Mu Jinrong didn't even drink his tea and osmanthus cake, he was still thinking.
Mu Tangxi felt much better. At least this kid wouldn't continue to snatch her cakes and tea!
"Ms. Mu, may I ask if you and your brothers wanted to get rid of us in the beginning?"
Mu Tangxi almost laughed out loud at this sentence. Why do they say that children are more naive? They actually asked them such a simple question as whether they wanted to get rid of them.
But she couldn't break his illusion yet.
So Mu Tangxi forced himself to suppress his smile, looked at Mu Jinrong in surprise, and denied it.
"Of course not. You have to know that every family in the capital has three wives and four concubines. Even though you and your sister suddenly knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, letting the people on the street know that your father has a concubine."
"But my brothers and I are not children anymore. We were even surprised when I was about to marry the Third Prince, but now we have let it go."
"Think about it, wasn't our first meeting very peaceful? And we didn't mock you, did we?"
Mu Tangxi gave kind and persuasive advice.
Only children would believe this.
Mu Jinrong was stunned when he heard this, and nodded subconsciously, as if it was indeed the case.
But he immediately reacted, "But why did that lady push my mother?!"
Mu Tangxi lied seriously, "Maybe it's because my mother always thought that my father only had her as his girlfriend, and then you suddenly showed up and broke her perception."
"Your mother has a child as old as Mu Lianxue. It must be hard for my mother to accept it for a while."
"Besides," Mu Tangxi narrowed his eyes, "my mother didn't expect that there was a stone there, and your mother hit her head."
Mu Jinrong wanted to refute, but didn't know what to refute, so he could only sit in the chair in a daze.
Mu Tangxi smiled softly, and asked in a voice as gentle as a feather falling, "Don't you think it's father's fault?"
The tone was very similar to that of his mother, and Mu Jinrong subconsciously continued thinking along those lines.
Mu Jinrong is not stupid, he is just held back by too many things.
The conflict between my mother and my wife is due to my mother's status as a mistress, a status that was given to her by my father.
Mu Tangxi's voice was like a piece of silk, soft and comfortable, wrapping around Mu Jinrong's heart bit by bit until it was fully wrapped around and then shrunk tightly.
"Have you ever thought about why father didn't bring your mother into the mansion? It's better for her to be a concubine than a mistress."
why?
"Why haven't you been allowed to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years, even though Mu Lianxue is about to reach the age of marriage?"
Why……
"If your sister hadn't dragged you to the Prime Minister's Mansion, do you think your father would have taken you into the Prime Minister's Mansion in this life?"
……
Mu Jinrong's face gradually turned pale, so the root cause of his mother's injury was his father.
He looked up at Miss Mu blankly, like a child who was seeking answers but lost in the fog, and tightly grasped the only person in front of him, "Why didn't father bring mother to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Mu Tangxi smiled gently, her amber eyes imprinted with Mu Jinrong's confused face, and answered patiently: "Because your mother can't bring enough benefits to father."
"On the contrary, my father only married my mother, and he could get the full support of my mother's family, the admiration of the ministers in the court, and become the idol of the people."
Mu Jinrong was silent. They had no value and could not bring enough benefits to his father, so his father just placed them outside and only visited them once every ten days or half a month.
His mind suddenly became clear.
The current outcome is all because of my father.
Because he is pursuing profit.
"Father attaches great importance to interests."
So cruel.
"So before you came back, father and mother were the most enviable couple in the capital. Everyone knew that they had a very good relationship."
He and his mother were nothing but a burden in his eyes.
"If you hadn't come back, father would still be the prime minister with an unblemished reputation, instead of being mocked by officials and ministers in the court and despised by the people."
My mother was just a woman found by my father, who represented that I could still freely choose my lover.
"However, father must have loved your mother very much, otherwise he wouldn't have given birth to you and your sister with her."
Mu Tangxi spoke slowly, the silk wrapped tighter and tighter, and the light in Mu Jinrong's eyes became dimmer and dimmer.
Does father like mother?
Mu Jinrong never doubted that the way his father looked at his mother was the same as the way his mother looked at his father.
But this love cannot outweigh the benefits that his father desires.
That is why they have been living in the Lin Mansion, like pampered birds in a golden cage.
You cannot leave the Lin Mansion at will, you cannot make friends with outsiders, and you cannot make your father angry.
He knew the reason. Because he looked very much like his father, he could not leave the house at will. His mother had never been out either. His sister could not go out because his mother was afraid that his sister would tell others about family matters.
The same is true for making friends.
If they made their father angry, they would be left without anyone to rely on. It would be impossible for their mother to raise two children alone.
My mother also has no family members. They live in the Lin Mansion day after day, like a stagnant pool of water, without causing the slightest ripples.
So Mu Jinrong looked at her lively sister. She seemed to always want to go out, but was discovered by her mother every time.
She was so lively that she didn't seem like someone who had always lived in the Lin Mansion, so Mu Jinrong's attention was inevitably attracted to her sister.
But when he was used by his sister again and again, causing unrest in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mu Jinrong hesitated.
