Chapter 399 Her Thoughts!
In short, the hall immediately became much quieter.
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly worried, but when she looked up, she saw that her mother was all smiles and laughter, without the slightest hint of annoyance.
"How could this aunt not know? The old lady is unwell, and the old master has personally instructed her to rest quietly and that no one should disturb her. If you have any questions, you can go to the front yard and ask the old master."
After Li finished speaking, she didn't give her a chance at all. "Someone, take this old lady to the front yard to find the old master. Tell him she wants to ask why the old lady didn't come out to speak."
"Yes, ma'am."
Everyone was surprised. The old woman approached the old lady and said, "Please come in, madam."
The old lady in the blue shirt changed her expression slightly upon seeing this. This was a matter between the Mu family and the Marquis of Zhongyong's household. Although she was a relative, she was still an outsider to the Marquis of Zhongyong's household. She had thought it was just a casual remark meant to embarrass Li Shi, but unexpectedly, it had put her in a dilemma.
Go to the outer courtyard? Once there, what should you say? Should you confront the old master and ask why he wanted the old lady to rest?
Seeing the old woman's embarrassed expression, one of the women from before laughed and said, "Alright, alright. They're probably having a good time drinking right now. Let's not disturb them. Besides, if the Prince gets angry again, who's going to take the blame?"
A single sentence reminded the old lady that there was a prince in the front yard, and if she displeased that master again, it would be a real problem.
The old lady smiled somewhat awkwardly, then said very uncomfortably, "That's right, that's right. It's best not to trouble the old man. I did hear about it before. It's only been a short time since I last visited her, and she's already become a bit confused. My dear niece-in-law, please don't take it to heart."
"Why not? Since there's nothing to ask, it's best not to bother them."
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes flickered slightly. It was indeed a bit strange. Why hadn't her aunt come? This was in the capital. If she didn't come during her homecoming visit, wouldn't that mean she was severing ties with the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion?
"Mother, I remember my aunt came to add to my dowry when I got married before, why didn't she come today?"
"Who knows? You know what's going on between them. Alright, stop worrying about others and focus on your own life! I heard that the Empress specially selected several beauties to enter the palace yesterday."
"Don't worry, Mother. Those people can't threaten your daughter. With Aze here, even if they want to send a beauty over, Aze himself has to take a liking to her first."
Upon hearing this, Li's eyes widened slightly. "You actually address the Prince by his given name?"
"This is his idea. He said that if I don't call him Aze, he won't let me go back to my parents' home. Mother, Tingting is also of marriageable age. Are there any suitable matches?"
"There really isn't anyone suitable for the time being. Don't worry, I won't make her suffer. I only have you two close friends. You've married far away, and I can't let Tingting marry someone from another place too. I need to keep one of you by my side. Otherwise, when Mother gets old, I'm afraid she won't even have anyone to take care of her! All alone, Mother feels so pitiful when she thinks about it now."
“Mother, what are you saying? I will naturally be able to return to the capital in the future.”
"Yes! According to the rules, a prince can return to the capital for a few months every three years. But the thought of not being able to see you for three years makes me sad."
As she spoke, Li's eyes began to redden.
"Mother, today is a joyous occasion, you mustn't shed tears. By the way, what do you think of Qingye, Mother?"
"Qingye? Why did you think of him?"
"That's right. Yesterday, the Prince discussed with me the idea of letting Qingye and Axuan go to the Imperial Academy first. The main reason is to promote Axuan, but he can't be without someone to talk to, so he thought of having Qingye accompany him."
"This? The Imperial Academy isn't so easy to get into."
"Mother, don't worry. Father is now the Grand Secretary of Taichung. Besides, my younger brother's knowledge is there for all to see, so there's naturally no problem."
"Alright, I'll discuss this with your father later."
"it is good!"
Mu Xin Nuan said all this simply to change the subject and stop Li Shi from dwelling on her leaving the capital. Now that it had worked, she was no longer in a hurry.
After returning to the Chang Le Prince's Mansion with Duanmu Chuze, Mu Xinnuan looked worried. Duanmu Chuze stared at her for a while, puzzled, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. Finally, he could only ask, "What's wrong? You came back to the Mu Mansion today, why are you unhappy?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the fact that Song is still alive is a bit of a problem for Mother."
Duanmu Chuze was stunned for a moment. He had naturally heard about the fact that Song was not Mu Chang'an's biological mother. Not only was she not his biological mother, but she was also the murderer who killed his biological mother! Now, Mu Chang'an was still able to provide her with good food and drink, which was already more than enough.
"You want her to die now?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, "No need! I'm just a little worried. Let Song Shi stay for now. After we leave, things might not be peaceful in the capital. There will always be some trouble. Even if Song Shi dies, she should die with purpose!"
Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow, understanding.
"Don't worry, Nuan. We'll go to the palace again tomorrow to resign, and we'll be leaving the capital the day after. I know you'll miss your family. So, tomorrow, after we leave the palace, we'll go to the Mu residence again. There were too many people at the Mu residence today, so you and your mother-in-law probably didn't have a proper conversation."
"Yes, there are so many people, a dense crowd, it gives me a headache. But they're all family, we can't just kick them out, can we?"
"You silly girl. It's perfect timing. I'll ask my father-in-law about Ah Xuan and Mu Qingye tomorrow."
"Okay!" Mu Xin Nuan nodded, then suddenly remembered something and turned to ask, "If we go to Yan, what will we do here?"
"This is still the Prince Chang Le's residence, so naturally someone needs to be left to look after it."
"No! I mean, should we keep the valuables here, or move them all the way over?" Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, already having a plan in mind.
"You little rascal, tell me, have you come up with another brilliant idea?" Duanmu Chuze said, and even reached out to lightly flick her forehead!
Mu Xin Nuan smiled faintly, "I just feel that since there are only the two of us masters in the Prince's Mansion, some things are actually dispensable!" As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes a few times, looking at him with sparkling eyes.
