Since Chu Mu received Ruan Tang's belt, he wore it almost every day.
Even if everyone looked at him strangely, he didn't care.
Instead, he straightened his back happily every day, fearing that others would not see the belt around his waist.
Ruan Tang will also come to Prince Ning's Mansion from time to time recently, saying that he is going to Tianxiang Tower and stopping by for refreshments. The reason is that the snacks in Prince's Mansion are more delicious.
Chu Mu knew that she was just an excuse, but he didn't expose her.
Because what he wants is this kind of life of you and me.
One day, after Ruan Tang went to Tianxiang Tower, he went to the Wang Mansion as usual.
But this time, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a woman in a curtain hat standing not far from the door of Prince Ning's Mansion, looking around inside.
Ruan Tang was curious and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "Is the girl looking for someone?"
When the woman heard Ruan Tang's voice, she turned around and looked at Ruan Tang through the curtain hat. After a while, she said, "I'm here to see an old friend."
"Old friend? Is he in Prince Ning's Mansion?"
The woman nodded.
"What's his name? I can help you call him out."
When Ruan Tang said he could help her find it, the woman's eyebrows suddenly frowned under her hat.
He looked up Ruan Tang again.
The woman in front of me was extremely beautiful, with extremely white skin. Between her frown and her smile, even though she was a woman, I couldn't help but fall in love with her.
And this knowledge made the eyebrows under the curtains frown even more tightly.
She directly refused Ruan Tang's help, "I won't bother you, girl. Maybe I made a mistake."
The woman blessed Ruan Tang, then turned and left.
Ruan Tang looked at her back, puzzled.
But she didn't take such an incident seriously. Instead, she held up her skirt, stepped on the steps at the door of Prince Ning's Mansion, and walked into the Prince's Mansion.
The woman who had just turned around and left stopped when Ruan Tang entered the palace, turned back and watched Ruan Tang's back disappearing at the entrance of Prince Ning's palace.
She held her dress tightly with her hands hanging by her sides, and did not let go until her fingertips turned white.
As usual, Ruan Tang entered the palace and went straight to the study in Canglangyuan.
Today Chu Mu is at home, handling official business in the study.
What surprised Ruan Tang was that the person guarding the study door today was not Dong Zhan, but Nan Feng, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Master Nanfeng, are you back?" Ruan Tang greeted him happily.
When he saw Ruan Tang, he was also very enthusiastic, "Miss Ruan, long time no see."
"Long time no see. You've been a little dark."
Nanfeng went to the northwest for nearly two months. When I came back this time, my skin was indeed much darker.
He was a little embarrassed and smiled.
At this time, the study door was opened from the inside.
Chu Mu stood by the door and looked at the two of them.
"What are you talking about? Are you so happy?"
There was a smile on Chu Mu's lips, but Nanfeng felt a chill down his spine.
He was not stupid. He quickly slipped away because he was busy with something.
"Didn't Nanfeng just come back? Why don't you give him a break to rest?"
If it was in her time, you would have to take a day or two off after returning from a two-month business trip.
Otherwise, how can any employee be willing to work hard for the company?
"You care about him?"
"I don't really care, I just think that a good balance between work and rest is good for employees' mental health. I think you should reform this. Don't be so rigid, and occasionally adopt a gentle policy."
However, Chu Mu's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.
Ruan Tang saw that he looked wrong and had to change his words, "If you don't like such a policy, then forget it, he is your subordinate anyway."
It's not hers.
Like Xiaofeng, Qingfeng, and Ling Qing around her, her management of them is very humane.
Regardless of whether there is work or not, wages will still be paid. When working, you must be 100% attentive. If there is no work to do, take a good rest and do whatever you want. She never interferes.
Otherwise, they wouldn't follow her so wholeheartedly.
"I listen to you and will definitely reward Nanfeng well."
When Chu Mu spoke, Ruan Tang had the illusion that he said these words through gritted teeth.
But the look on his face was normal.
Ruan Tang felt that maybe he was overthinking it, so he casually said "Hmm" and walked past him into the study.
Walking to the desk, she suddenly remembered the mysterious woman she met at the door just now.
"Your Highness, I just saw a woman at the door of the mansion."
"I couldn't help my curiosity and went to ask. It seemed that I was looking for someone. This person seemed to be in the palace. But I asked her if she wanted me to help her find him, but she refused."
Chu Mu frowned slightly, "How do you look?"
Ruan Tang shook his head, "She is wearing a curtain hat, so you can't see her face."
But Chu Mu frowned even more when he heard that he was wearing a curtain hat.
But he still answered Ruan Tang calmly: "Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place."
Ruan Tang didn't hesitate because she didn't pay much attention to this.
The two of them soon became like usual, Chu Mu commented on the notes, and Ruan Tang wrote some notes.
Accompany each other without disturbing each other.
It was not until evening that Ruan Tang left the palace.
Chu Mu originally wanted her to stay for dinner and let her rest.
But Ruan Tang said he agreed to accompany Tana to dinner tonight and left.
Chu Mu didn't force her to stay.
But just before she got on the carriage and left the palace, Chu Mu also got on the carriage and left the palace.
On the way back, Ruan Tang stopped by Zhen Hui Pavilion to pack a few dishes and took them with him to the other courtyard.
But when she passed the inn diagonally opposite Tianxiang Tower, she actually saw Chu Mu. He got off the carriage and went directly into the inn.
Xiaofeng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, naturally also discovered it.
"Master, would you like to say hello to His Highness?"
"No need, he probably has official business here, so I won't disturb him."
Ruan Tang lowered the curtains and asked Xiaofeng to continue driving.
But while she said not to disturb Chu Mu, she couldn't help but wonder in her heart, who did he go to the inn to find?
When discussing official business, you shouldn’t go to an inn, right?
It's even more impossible to stay in a hotel. It can only be that he has some friends who live there, and he may be going to see friends.
But is this friend a boy or a girl? Ruan Tang couldn't help but guess in his heart.
But after thinking for a long time, I couldn't figure out why.
After returning to the other courtyard, she sat around eating with everyone, talking and laughing, and she soon forgot about it.
Just two days later, when she went to Prince Ning's Mansion again, she once again saw the woman wearing a curtain hat at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
Ruan Tang was even more curious this time, and when he was about to step forward to ask again, the woman turned around and left quickly.
This made Ruan Tang even more confused.
Then the scene of Chu Mu going to that inn last night flashed through his mind.
"Is this woman here to see Chu Mu?" Ruan Tang couldn't help but murmured.
