Upon hearing her second uncle's assurance, Mu Xin Nuan simply smiled faintly and said, "You won't bring it up again? Of course, you won't be able to bring it up later!"
Back at Yuexuan, Mu Xinnuan quietly gave Mu Hua a few instructions. Mu Hua chuckled repeatedly before leaving the mansion and heading west to find Madam Yang.
"Miss, why don't you just have someone instigate that Yang woman to cause trouble at your door?"
“Of course not! That Yang is not stupid. Although as a concubine, the child cannot be included in the Mu family genealogy, at least she will have her own house, with no worries about food and drink, and she will not have to go to the main wife to pay her respects morning and evening. How could she possibly be willing to come in as a concubine?”
"But she's just a woman, can she really be the second master's mistress for life?"
"No rush! Madam Yang is still young. She has only given birth to a daughter for Second Uncle so far. If she has a son, she will naturally have this idea. Do we need to stir things up?"
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"I heard that Madam Yang hasn't had her period for two months. The reason she listened to her subordinates' advice and went to the capital with Second Uncle was largely because she was very likely pregnant. That's why she's been traveling so slowly! If she went too fast and startled the baby, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"
"But Miss, it's still a long way off if we wait until she safely gives birth to her son! Who knows what kind of trouble that second madam will cause during this time?"
"Hehe, don't worry, it won't be long."
Mu Qing smiled gently, "Miss has already made arrangements, so don't worry. The important thing now is to quickly help put away all the things that belong to Miss and Madam, so that no one can covet them again!"
“It’s possible to prevent people from plotting against us, but it’s a bit troublesome to prevent them from coveting us.” Mu Xin Nuan smiled. “This brush washer is quite nice. Have someone send it to A Yuan. Granny Yu, go and choose a good inkstone to send to A Xuan.”
"Yes, ma'am."
"Miss is so kind to the two young masters! She is also exceptionally kind to the young master. I only hope that when the young master becomes successful in the future, he will never forget the kindness of Miss."
"Zhuangzhuang? Forget it, I won't count on him. My own younger brother is the most suitable. Speaking of which, I wonder how Mother is doing with Tingting's marriage arrangements?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Yu couldn't help but tease, "Miss, you're a year older than Miss Cousin, and your marriage is still undecided, yet you're already worried about Miss Cousin."
Mu Xin Nuan blushed upon hearing this, "What are you saying, Granny?"
Before she knew it, the day of Li Wanyue's wedding arrived.
Mu Xin Nuan and Madam Li naturally had to go to the mansion to deliver the dowry and send her off on her wedding day.
"Cousin, you're so beautiful! You're like a peony flower. I can't take my eyes off you," Mu Xinnuan exclaimed.
Li Wanyue, who was already wearing rather heavy rouge, blushed even more upon hearing this. "You little brat, all you do is make fun of me! Just wait until you get married, I'll make you pay!"
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled, "Cousin, I've heard that my cousin-in-law is a very good person. You must be very careful and keep a close eye on him, lest he be taken advantage of by others."
"Go away! Stop talking nonsense!" Li Wanyue glared at her, lowered her head slightly, and her half-closed eyes were filled with shyness!
"Cousin, once you get married and enter the family, you'll be an adult. Will I be able to visit you at the Marquis of Anyang's residence then?"
"What are you saying? Of course it will happen! I will look forward to it every day."
The two sisters chatted for a while, and then they saw Madam Chu and Chu Moli arrive.
Li and Liu naturally exchanged pleasantries with them.
Once inside the room, only a few young ladies remained to keep Li Wanyue company. It's unclear what Sun Ruoxiang said, but it caused Chu Moli to fly into a rage!
"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother is the best, how could he possibly lose to someone else?"
Seeing how protective she was of her own, Sun Ruoxiang quickly said, "Why are you in such a hurry, Sister Chu? The one who defeated Young Master Chu was none other than Prince Yongle! Who doesn't know that Prince Yongle is the number one hero of our Great Yong? There's nothing shameful about losing to him, is there?"
Mu Xin Nuan was then drawn to their voices and couldn't help but interject, "What did Sister Sun just say? Who did Prince Yongle beat? Was it a martial arts contest or a poetry duel?"
"The Yongle King and Prince Chu competed in martial arts in the military camp, and he was the best in every skill, including swordsmanship and archery."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded after hearing this, "The Yongle King has just returned to the court in triumph. He is indeed brave and decisive."
Chu Moli wasn't so angry when she first heard that Prince Yongle had won against her brother. But now, hearing Mu Xinnuan praise Prince Yongle made her uncomfortable.
"Mu Xin Nuan, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't forget you're our Chu family's betrothed! How can you speak on behalf of outsiders?"
Not only Mu Xin Nuan, but everyone present was shocked, and they all looked at Mu Xin Nuan with some suspicion.
Li Wanyue naturally heard it too, and her expression changed. She couldn't help but feel annoyed. What was Chu Moli thinking? How could she just say such things?
Mu Xin Nuan's expression turned slightly cold. "Miss Chu must have made a mistake. I have not engaged to anyone, nor have I exchanged betrothal gifts with any outsider. I believe I have no grudge against Miss Chu, so why would Miss Chu want to harm me like this?"
"What did you say?" Chu Moli was a bit dim-witted. Upon hearing Mu Xinnuan's words, she immediately assumed that Mu Xinnuan looked down on her brother and said with extreme disdain, "Fine! Mu Xinnuan, who doesn't know that my brother often comes to your Mu residence? If not for you, then for whom? And now you're saying such things in front of so many people, do you have no conscience at all?"
Li Wanyue could no longer sit still. "Miss Chu, how can you speak so carelessly? Young Master Chu went to the Mu residence to visit his two cousins. Even when he went to the inner courtyard to pay his respects to his aunt, he was accompanied by his cousins. Miss Chu, your words are clearly an attempt to deliberately smear our Anuan. What are your true intentions?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Moli stomped her foot in anger and said, "That's not true! My brother did it all for her, Mu Xinnuan, how could you say that? You actually praised Prince Yongle and criticized my brother, you're clearly a gold digger! No, no, you're clearly just trying to climb the social ladder! Now that Prince Yongle has returned to the capital, you don't want my brother anymore! You, you're not a virtuous woman!"
Chu Moli spoke very loudly, and the ladies outside heard her. Madam Chu's expression changed, and she secretly thought something was wrong. Then she heard Madam Li say coldly, "Why is it that Miss Chu is making decisions about our Nuan's marriage?"
