Murong Yan reached for the pill without any hesitation. Since Murong Xiao dared to take it, she must have a way to detoxify it, so she was not afraid.
The other three women could only resign themselves to their fate and reach out to take the pills.
Although they hated the pills, if they didn't take them, they would be tortured to death after the poison took effect. So, even though it was poison, they had to take it.
Murong Qingyu was satisfied with everything Murong smiled and said, "Children, I know you are very dissatisfied with taking this kind of pill, because every time the poison takes effect, it will make you suffer unbearable pain.
You are the ones that Daddy has spent countless efforts to raise. Daddy truly treats you as his own children. If possible, he would not want to treat you like this. Sigh..."
Murong Qingyu sighed and continued, "But the Marshal's Mansion is in trouble right now, and we still need your help.
But Daddy promises you that this won't last more than three years. Three years later, when the dust settles on the Marshal's Mansion, you'll get the antidote and be completely free. You won't have to take these pills again.
If you want to leave at that time, Daddy will definitely let you go. If you want to stay, Daddy promises that you will enjoy endless wealth and glory from now on.
In a word: from today on, you are real daughters of a wealthy family, and your status is not even lower than those princesses in the palace."
Murong Qingyu is indeed an expert at manipulating people's hearts. Such a cruel and despicable thing, when it comes to his mouth, it sounds so upright and kind.
His message was simple, to sum it up: The Marshal's Office is going to accomplish great things, and you have to make sacrifices. If you do well, you'll be able to take action; if you don't, you won't be able to take action. When the dust settles, I'll set you free.
But he was also afraid that these women were like spilled water, and if they made a mistake, they would even risk their lives and sell out the Marshal's Mansion. So while he had to control these women, he also had to play the emotional card.
"You are all about the same age. People in the palace also know that I gave birth to five children in the past two years. I just wanted to raise my daughter well and kept her in the secluded courtyard.
Based on your looks and heights, Xiao'er, you are the eldest daughter of the Marshal's Mansion. Yan'er is the second daughter, Meng'er is the third daughter, Xue'er is the fourth daughter, and Shan'er, you are the fifth daughter.
Except for Xiao'er, all of you were born to concubines. The maid will organize your birth dates, your mother's names, habits, and everything from childhood to adulthood for you later. You must memorize this information well.
In a month, the Emperor's birthday will be here, and there will be a palace banquet. You and your father will attend it together. So you must study hard during this month."
He glanced at the women again and said, "Well, if you have nothing else to do, you can go down. Rest if you want, play if you want. If you want to go shopping, go to the accounting office to withdraw money and bring some maids and servants to accompany you out to buy things.
From now on, each of you will receive a monthly allowance of one hundred taels of silver. You can buy whatever you want. Of course, your clothes, accessories, rouge, and all the daily necessities a young lady should have will be provided by the Marshal's Mansion. This one hundred taels is entirely your pocket money."
