Mu Nanxi was pulled into the carriage, and the two sat apart.
As expected of a general, he has really strong hands.
Mu Nanxi cursed secretly, gently rubbed her slightly red wrist, and with a thought, she turned to sit next to Qi Zhiheng.
"What did the prince mean by holding on to me just now?" She smiled slightly, and her eyebrows were a little more charming and graceful.
Her charming voice was like a breeze blowing over the water, making Qi Zhiheng's heart flutter gently.
Qi Zhiheng looked at her, a complex emotion flashing through his deep eyes.
A different feeling surged in his heart, and he clenched his fists and felt the residue on his fingertips, which was the warmth that had just been drawn to her.
"Could it be that the prince was jealous just now?"
Hearing this, Qi Zhiheng snorted coldly, glanced at Mu Nanxi, and said, "Don't think so wildly. I am just worried that you will misbehave outside and damage my reputation."
His voice was full of majesty and unquestionable, but there was a faint blush on the roots of his ears.
Mu Nanxi raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "If the prince says no, then it's not."
"But when will the prince give me the defense map of the North? My mother is still waiting for help." Mu Nanxi urged again and again, urging whenever he got the chance.
"I know that you are impatient, so I came out of the palace to look for you today." Qi Zhiheng said as he took out a deerskin map from his arms and handed it to her.
"Your Majesty, did you come here specifically to give me the defense map today?! Thank you for your hard work, Your Majesty!"
"This is the old picture I took before I changed the defense. It's always more credible than a temporary forgery."
Mu Nanxi looked back and forth several times, and after confirming that there were no flaws, he quickly opened the curtain and told Rong Feng: "Transfer to Duke Jingguo's Mansion."
"Hey! Wait a minute!"
Mu Nanxi retracted her head into the carriage and smiled at Qi Zhiheng: "Why don't you, Your Majesty, go back to the house on your own first? I will go and replace my mother right now."
Qi Zhiheng left Rongfeng to protect him secretly, while he went to Zuichun Tower.
The Duke of Jingguo.
"Is father in there?" Mu Nanxi didn't wait for anyone to tell him, and went directly into the inner courtyard to the door of the study.
Wang Wu obviously didn't expect Mu Nanxi to return home suddenly, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Wish you all the best, Princess."
"Get up."
"The gentleman is in the study. Let me go in and let you know."
Not long after, Wang Wu came out and invited Mu Nanxi in.
"Mr. Lang wants to talk to the princess alone. Please trouble the female envoy beside the princess to wait outside."
After Mu Nanxi entered the study alone, Wang Wu closed the study door tightly.
She slowly walked into the room and saw Mu Qing sitting behind the desk with a tired and haggard face. The black green under his eyes was like two eye-catching pieces of ink that almost fell to the ground.
A perceptible smile flashed across Mu Nanxi's face, and there was an unconcealable joy in her eyes.
It seems that Miss Jiang Mei's methods are really good. Looking at Mu Qing's appearance, she must have been very angry with Mu Liu because of her troubles at night.
"It seems that father has been very tired recently and is in poor health." Mu Nanxi said provocatively.
Mu Qing didn't even raise his eyelids and asked coldly: "Did you get the things?"
"Um."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Mu Qing quickly raised his head and confirmed in disbelief: "Did you really get it?"
"Um."
"Give me your stuff quickly."
Mu Nanxi took out the deerskin defense map from his arms and shook it in his hand.
"If mother can leave the house with me today, I will give you the things before leaving."
"How can I confirm whether the defense map in your hand is true or false?"
Mu Nanxi took a few steps forward with the defense map, unfolded it in front of her through the desk, and then took it back after a moment.
"I have been searching for this picture for many days, and today I finally took the opportunity to steal it. I was able to leave the house by going to the street to buy a shop. If my father can't make a decision, when the prince finds out that this picture is missing, I will naturally not be in the house. If he encounters suspicion, it will be hard for my father to escape."
Mu Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, and a low laugh escaped from deep in his throat: "Are you threatening me? Don't forget that your mother is still in my hands!"
Mu Nanxi snorted, shrugged indifferently and said: "My father will know the authenticity of this picture at a glance. I just want to stay away from disputes with my mother. If my father insists on making a living with me, he can only wait for the prince to take us away." Send them all to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment and we will discuss them later.”
Mu Qing felt angry, and a coldness could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth.
After careful consideration, he could only suppress the anger in his heart. He called Wang Wu in and ordered: "Go to the secret room and bring the person here!"
Wang Wu did not dare to neglect, and immediately turned around and left, carrying out Mu Qing's order.
At the same time, the news of Mu Nanxi's return to Duke Jingguo's mansion quickly spread throughout the mansion.
"What? She still dares to come?" Mu Wanjing was sitting on the Arhat's bed. When she heard the servant's report, her face changed and she was very angry.
Just now, Mu Nanxi was disrespectful to her on the street, and the young master of Dian Kingdom was all eyes on a married woman, so he ignored her.
Why can a lowly thing win the favor of so many people?
Why didn't the prince divorce this irresponsible person and drive him out of the house?
"Where is she now?"
"I heard that after coming out of Lang Jun's study, I went to the old lady's house." The envoy lowered her head and replied.
Hearing this, Mu Wanjing's eyes flashed with sharp light, and a trace of hostility flashed through them.
The old immortal was the one who made the decision to leave Jiang Mei's charming daughter in his house to seduce her father. He said that he wanted to spread the branches of the Mu family, but he didn't mean that her mother couldn't give birth to a son!
Mei Xiaoniang didn't know what tricks she used to make her father stay in her courtyard every night, causing her mother to make trouble and cry every day. She had no energy to control the whole family. Now the whole family is in chaos!
Now that little bitch Mu Nanxi goes to the old lady's place as soon as she returns home. They are the two grandsons who jointly created this drama!
"You Mu Nanxi have made my house uneasy!"
"Let's see how I deal with you, you little bitch." Mu Wanjing gritted her teeth and twisted the handkerchief in her hand.
…
"Ah!"
Mu Nanxi was sitting on Mrs. Mu's hand and sneezed for no reason.
"You are precious now, so wear more clothes when you go out, and don't catch the cold." Mrs. Mu warned, with no trace of concern or worry in her expression.
"Yes, I'm sorry to bother you, grandma." Mu Nanxi smiled and her tone was full of respect.
"It was my granddaughter who was arrogant before, but now I heard that my father has adopted a new daughter-in-law, and he came here specially to nurse her back to health, so that she can also create a younger brother for me and sister Jing."
The story of Mu Nanxi's treatment of Concubine Huang had long spread throughout the capital. Naturally, Mrs. Mu also heard that this granddaughter who had been raised outside since childhood had excellent medical skills.
Although she believed in her heart that a woman practicing medicine would harm the reputation of Duke Jingguo, she still helped her son and inherited the family business.
"You are serious now. You are not like your mother who is ignorant of the importance and cries every day. If this spreads out, it will completely disgrace the Duke of Jingguo!"
"I will send someone to take you to Mei Xiaoniang's yard right now, and you can take good care of her."
"Yes, granddaughter is resigning."
Outside Bingquan Pavilion.
The name of Bingquan Pavilion comes from a hot spring in the courtyard. Even in the cold winter, this spring water can maintain heat, hence the name Bingquan Pavilion.
Mu Liu was afraid of the cold and wanted to move to this courtyard before winter, but unexpectedly she gave this courtyard to Jiang Mei.
It seems that Jiang Mei is very popular with Mu Qing.
Jiang Mei listened to her servant's report and hurriedly got up and came out to greet her. She bowed to Mu Nanxi from a distance and said, "May the princess be safe and sound."
Mu Nanxi nodded and motioned for her to get up. He took another look at Jiang Mei's residence and saw pavilions, bridges and flowing water in the courtyard. Although it was not as luxurious as Mu Liu's courtyard, it still had a different charm.
"Let's go, let's talk after we go in."
Mu Nanxi said, turned around and walked into the house, Jiang Mei hurriedly followed.
Entering the room, it was warm as spring. Mu Nanxi sat in front of the square table and motioned to Linglong to take out a handkerchief and place it on the table.
"Please extend a hand, little lady." Mu Nanxi said softly.
Jiang Mei did as she was told.
Mu Nanxi gently put her fingers on Jiang Mei's white wrist, then took her hand back and said with a slight smile: "There is nothing wrong with Miss Jiang's body. I will give Mei Xiaoniang some decoction, and Mei Xiaoniang will be able to help me as soon as possible." Fill in the role of a younger brother!”
She turned her head and said to the person sent by Mrs. Mu: "Mommy, please go back to grandma and wait on her. I will diagnose Mei Xiaoniang's pulse before going to talk to father."
"Yes, I will resign, old slave."
After dismissing the old nanny, Mu Nanxi also put away her sweet face and asked with a hint of worry: "Is Miss Mei willing to bear children for him? If not, I will prescribe some soup to avoid the child." Come."
Jiang Mei smiled and shook her head, "Just let nature take its course."
"Did Mrs. Mu Liu give you any trouble?"
"My husband is protecting me, so she can't give me any trouble. It's just that when my husband first brought me into the house, she cried and smashed a lot of things. They all seemed to be valuable. It's really a pity." Jiang Mei looked very regretful.
Mu Nanxi sneered: "You still have the heart to care about this!"
"I took a look at the mansion today and found that the servants in the mansion are doing things in a disorganized manner. It seems that the Mu Liu family has no intention of taking charge. You took the opportunity to ask for the stewardship of the mansion."
"The housekeeping rights must be given to the eldest lady, I am just a concubine..." Jiang Mei looked embarrassed.
"Did the old woman teach you how to read ledgers and manage housekeeping before?"
"Taught some."
"That's okay, you coax Mu Qing, let the Mu Liu family ignore the affairs of the house, let the servants in the house make mistakes in front of Mu Qing, and occasionally show off your skills in accounting and let him take the initiative to ask you After taking charge of the house, you can evade it for a while, and in the end you just need to temporarily take over the house management."
Jiang Mei was not one of those stupid people who understood everything and nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll leave first. If anything happens, just send someone to the palace to find me."
"Yes, Princess, walk slowly."
As soon as the time was almost up, Mu Nanxi left Bingquan Pavilion and went to the study.
"Princess, help me!"
Linglong was startled when the man who suddenly rushed towards her and knelt on the ground, hugging her princess and crying, took a closer look and saw the face of the person clearly.
"Fei'er? How dare you offend the princess!"
