Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Seeing the tall and straight figure in the courtyard, the chattering people suddenly fell silent.

Han Duoduo looked at her junior sister with sympathy and quietly slipped away.

When Xing'er and the other two saw her leave, they didn't say hello to Liu Xu and just followed Han Duoduo silently.

Liu Xu looked at the backs of the people leaving quickly and roared in his heart.

How could these ungrateful guys have the heart to leave her here alone?

Soon, Mu Lingxuan and Liu Xu were the only ones left in the yard.

The guards stayed in the front yard, and the secret guards quietly retreated outside the courtyard wall.

Liu Xu smiled awkwardly, "Brother Huai...Brother Huai Jin, why are you here?"

Mu Lingxuan glanced at her, said nothing, and turned to walk inside.

Liu Xu pouted his cheek, wondering whether he should take the opportunity to run back to the room.

Unfortunately……

"Are you still not following?" Mu Lingxuan's cold voice came.

Liu Xu let out a breath of foul air in frustration and followed with a disgusted look on his face.

Mu Lingxuan walked straight into Liu Xu's room, and Liu Xu followed him in with a pout.

Qiao Xin and the others looked at each other, and finally mustered up the courage to stand at the door.

Out of concern for Liu Xu's reputation, Mu Lingxuan did not send Qiao Xin and the others away, and the door was left open.

Mu Lingxuan turned around only after Liu Xu entered the house.

"Visiting a brothel?" A cold and pleasant voice, without any emotion.

Liu Xu laughed, "Well... I'm just curious, hehe, curious!"

"Does it look good?" Mu Lingxuan asked again.

Liu Xu blinked, not understanding what he meant, but in order not to go against her conscience, she nodded obediently.

Mu Lingxuan looked at her like this, not knowing whether to be angry or laugh.

This girl is too bold. She actually dares to take a few women to visit a brothel.

It’s also the largest brothel in Lan Ze Prefecture!

Did she know that if she was recognized, the Censorate would investigate her for three days and three nights?

Once the news got out that she, as a county princess, visited a brothel, those old stubborn people would drown her with saliva.

And as far as he knew, Yaofang Pavilion was jointly opened by several upper-class families in Yongze Prefecture. Making money was only one of the reasons. The real purpose was the same as Xianlefang, which was to gather information.

Fortunately, this girl is not reckless and knows to take Xuan San and the others with her.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Liu Xu couldn't sit still anymore.

She lowered her head, poked her index fingers together, and said sullenly, "Brother Huaijin, I'm really just curious. I've never been to a brothel... and, Senior Sister said that the brothel in Lanze Mansion is very lively!"

If Han Duoduo knew that she sold herself out like this, she would probably point at her nose and call her "inhumane"!

You have to know that Mu Lingxuan is rude to other opposite sexes, including his sister, except Liu Xu and his two mothers.

Sure enough, when he heard that the "culprit" was Han Duoduo, Mu Lingxuan squinted his eyes and looked in the direction of Han Duoduo's room.

Mu Lingxuan retracted his gaze and glanced at the quail-like catkins, snorting, "You are good at making excuses. You just listen to whatever Senior Sister says?"

Liu Xu bit her lip and muttered softly, "I won't do that again in the future."

Mu Lingxuan walked to the table and sat down, pouring himself a glass of water, "Do you know how dangerous this time is? Yaofang Pavilion is full of good and bad people. If something happens, what do you want me to do?"

Liu Xu felt warm in her heart, and walked forward to pull his sleeve, "Brother Huaijin, I really know I was wrong, and I will never act so rashly again."

Mu Lingxuan sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it won't happen again."

Seeing that he just brushed it off so lightly, Liu Xu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I promise there won't be a next time."

Mu Lingxuan signaled her to sit down with his eyes and poured her a glass of water.

Yongze Prefecture is not Yongyue Prefecture. It is only the beginning of February and the weather is still a bit cold.

On the table in the room was hot water that Ruyi and others had been keeping warm. After taking a sip, the coldness that he had brought back just now was mostly gone.

"By the way, Brother Huaijin, didn't you return to Beijing with Yelu Hong? Why are you here?" Liu Xu asked puzzledly.

The two countries are negotiating peace, how can he, the first hero, not be there?

The woman looked curious and a little naive, and Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but reach out and rub the strands of hair on her forehead that were blown by the night wind.

"It was already settled, it was just a formality. It was over when I left."

"Stop it!" Liu Xu slapped her hand away, suppressed her anger, and asked again:

"Then you don't need to escort Yelu Hong back to the northern border?"

After all, he is the king of a country!

Mu Lingxuan raised his eyebrows, "Have you forgotten that I am still "seriously injured"? The emperor has granted me a long vacation to recuperate."

Liu Xu's mouth twitched. You have come all the way to Jiangnan to recuperate.

Mu Lingxuan understood the meaning in her eyes and smiled gently, "Yongzezhou and Yongyuezhou have pleasant climates, which are suitable for me to recuperate!"

Liu Xu had an expression that said "I don't believe you at all".

This guy must have chased after her immediately after receiving her letter.

However, speaking of his injuries, Liu Xu pulled Mu Lingxuan's hand over.

Mu Lingxuan didn't stop him.

After checking her pulse, Liu Xu's eyes trembled, and she said in disbelief, "Your injury was almost healed at the beginning, how could it be..."

Mu Lingxuan's pulse now indeed showed that he was seriously injured and had not yet recovered.

Mu Lingxuan laughed when he heard this and said, "If I recovered so quickly, would I still have time to rest?

As for the pulse...he had specifically asked Mr. Meng for it when he left Liujia Village.

Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily, "Then can't you go a little slower?"

The dark circles under his eyes showed that he hadn't had a good rest for several days.

Mu Lingxuan didn't say anything, but just gave her a cold look, the meaning of which was self-evident.

If I don't hurry, how would I know that you are brave enough to go to a brothel?

Liu Xu lowered her head guiltily and continued to drink water.

Liu Xu originally wanted to tell him about their previous visit to the brothel, but then she felt it was inappropriate, so she swallowed her words back.

The room fell silent for a moment, with only the sound of the two people breathing softly.

After a while, Mu Lingxuan broke the silence: "Tell me, is there anything interesting along the way?"

Liu Xu's eyes lit up and he began to talk incessantly, describing everything from the scenery along the way to the people and things he met in vivid detail.

Mu Lingxuan listened quietly, his lips slightly raised, his eyes full of tenderness and doting.

As she was talking, Liu Xu suddenly stopped and looked at Mu Lingxuan cautiously: "Brother Huaijin, you are not angry, are you?"

Mu Lingxuan shook his head: "As long as you are safe and sound, I won't be angry."

Liu Xu was touched and leaned gently on Mu Lingxuan's shoulder: "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

Mu Lingxuan put his arms around her, and the two of them just snuggled together quietly.

Outside the window, the moonlight is like water, sprinkling in the courtyard, as if covering everything with a layer of gentle veil.
