Chapter 187 It’s her?
Although Mu Rong has been staying at the farm these days, everything in the capital is under his control.
Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.
That morning, Mu Lu came to the west wing with a happy face.
Mu Rong glanced at him, and before he could speak, he asked, "Is there any news from the capital?"
"Exactly!" Mu Lu beamed. "I just received a pigeon message from Yi Changshi, saying that Chun Wang, who was handed over to the Dali Temple, has fallen into the hands of Ningguo Duke."
"You've only succeeded now? Duke Ningguo is really slow." Mu Rong sneered, "In that case, send a message back and tell Mu Wu to fake his death after verifying Chunwang's testimony. It's so cold, don't let him get frozen to death." "Yes."
"Is there any news from the south?" Mu Rong asked Chu He and his group.
"We have already set off. Counting the days, we have already walked most of the way." Chu He's injuries were about 70% healed, but Mu Rong asked him to go slowly, so he did not dare to speed up.
"Let them walk slower. Don't look back. Before the Crown Prince and the Duke's men take action, they will have already returned to the capital."
Their original plan was to have the Eastern Palace's secret guards caught by Ningguo Duke and Concubine Shu's men when they were trying to kill Chu He and the others. This would confirm the Eastern Palace's act of silencing them, and Chu He and Chun Ya would also become witnesses brought into the capital by Ningguo Duke and Concubine Shu. In this way, the exposure of the scandal at the Crown Prince's Royal Farm would have nothing to do with him, Mu Rong.
However, I didn’t expect that the people under Duke Ningguo and Concubine Shu would be so useless.
"Yes, Yi Changshi will also send people to help Duke Ningguo." After Mu Lu finished speaking, he waited to see if his master had any other instructions.
result……
Mu Rong buried his head in reading military books.
"Master?"
"Say!"
"The weather is nice today, why don't you invite Miss to go out and enjoy the scenery together?"
Mu Rong raised his head and gave Mu Lu a cold look: "Why? You want to be the master of this household?"
"I dare not!" Mu Lu quickly fell silent.
It seems that the Marquis and the young lady next door are having a quarrel...
He was really unlucky and hit a wall.
And next door...
For two consecutive days, Xu Rongrong, her master and servant had a great time in the East Cross Courtyard.
Wen Yao embroidered a hand warmer cover for her daughter, while Luo Shu chattered and shared gossip from Zhuangzi.
Xu Rongrong's mind was on the two little rabbits.
The two little ones are so adorable, and they have grown so fast in the past two days. Xu Rongrong is so busy that she has no time to pay attention to anything else.
It was the outspoken Luo Shu who first noticed something was amiss: "Why hasn't the Marquis come over these past two days?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Yao quickly waved her hand, signaling her not to ask any more questions.
That day at the farm, Wen Yao stood upwind and did not hear what her young lady and the marquis said.
But when she came back from the farm, she could clearly feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
Along the way, although the Marquis was still careful and protective, his expression was no longer as gentle as before.
After returning to the farm, he asked Mrs. Xiao to add a charcoal basin to the east wing and send some seasonal fruits, then he went straight back to the west courtyard.
I haven't been here since then.
Although she didn't ask, she knew that something was wrong between the young lady and the marquis.
But since the young lady didn't say anything, she didn't want to ask more.
Luo Shu did not follow them to the farm that day, and he was careless and didn't pay attention to it in the past two days. Now he realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He covered his mouth and laughed, "Oh, I'm going to pick some fresh grass for the rabbits."
"It's okay, it's time for them to sleep." Xu Rongrong smiled and put the two sleepy little ones into the warm nest.
He stood up, looked at the two of them, and said calmly, "He and I...just have different opinions on certain things."
After saying that, she told the two maids what happened that day in detail.
The two of them looked at each other in surprise. Wen Yao pondered for a long time, then whispered, "Over the past six months, from what I've seen, the Marquis has treated you with great care and consideration. But now, hearing that you want to settle the matter of the farm with him, I'm a little sad."
Luo Shu also nodded.
Xu Rongrong smiled, then said two words lightly: "Yes."
He refused to say anything else.
She couldn't tell these two girls about the things that had left her with lingering fears in her previous life.
Since her rebirth, the Mu Rong she saw was almost completely different from the one in her previous life. She even had some doubts as to whether she had really been reborn into her previous life?
Or was the previous life just a dream?
But no matter what, she didn't dare to give herself to others easily.
No matter which of the past and present lives is reality, the disparity in status between her and Mu Rong cannot be changed.
Although she now has the status of a county lady, so what?
The emperor can take whatever he wants with just a word. Isn’t Lin Jiaoyue a lesson learned from the past?
When the emperor treated her well, she was the famous Princess Qingyang in the Great Zhou Dynasty; after the emperor got tired of her, she became the daughter of the Lin family who had been disciplined.
But no matter what, Lin Jiaoyue still has her father who is the Shangshu.
And what about her? If she had the same fate as Lin Jiaoyue, Xu Chaoqian would have treated her the same way he treated Xu Liushi.
If this is true, what will happen to her two girls?
After being reborn, she can’t possibly be unable to protect the people around her!
She has no one to rely on but herself.
It's not that she can't feel Mu Rong's kindness, it's just...
She didn't dare to trust him wholeheartedly. In her previous life, she had seen couples quarrel and tear each other apart...
Isn’t that what the emperor and empress did? Their love was known to the world, but after the crown prince was deposed, the emperor ignored the empress’s threats of death and killed the empress’s only son with a cup of poisoned wine.
As the queen, she can only rely on the emperor's life, and she has nothing. She can only rely on the memory of her previous life and prediction to gain some living space for herself.
How can she resist Mu Rong's change of heart?
Only by dividing the interests clearly can she deal with any variables with ease.
She had already understood all this, which was why she said those words to Mu Rong.
But for some reason, her heart still felt swollen and sour.
She said listlessly, "I'm a little tired. You guys go down first."
Seeing that their young lady was not in a good mood, the two maids did not dare to persuade her anymore and quietly withdrew.
After leaving the east wing, Luo Shu whispered, "Young lady, you still have the Marquis in your heart, right?"
Wen Yao sighed softly, "If that weren't the case, why would she be tormenting herself? But...why did the young lady's attitude towards the Marquis suddenly change? What exactly is the reason?"
Luo Shu nodded blankly. "I remember when I first entered the mansion, the young lady secretly left the house to do some shopping for the late Madam. After returning from that trip, her heart was completely fixed on the Marquis. She has remained so devoted to him for so many years. I thought that after the marriage was granted, she would finally get what she wanted. How could it be like this now?"
The two girls were puzzled and shook their heads.
Mu Lu didn't come out from the corner until they were far away and out of sight.
After he returned to the capital by carrier pigeon, he wanted to come to the East Cross Courtyard to inquire about the affairs of the Marquis and Miss Xu.
Who knew that they would hear a huge secret: Miss Xu has always been obsessed with her own Marquis!!!
He did not dare to delay for a moment and rushed back to the west wing to report the news.
