My Lord, please respect yourself. I am the wife of a marquis.

Everything was arranged properly, and Su Muxi had a smile on her face when she returned home.

But that smile froze for a moment when he saw Xiao Yunjin, "Prince, why are you here? What happened?"

"Nothing happened. Madam has been out for a long time. I'm just a little worried!"

"Didn't that girl Zhiyan convey my message?" Su Muxi walked inside, "I will definitely punish that brainless girl."

"I have reported it, but it is late at night and my wife has not come back yet, so I thought of going to meet you."

"Father came home a little late today, and made the prince worried."

"I'm glad you're back," Xiao Yunjin walked side by side with her, playing with the black jade pendant in his hand.

"Ma'am, you seem very happy today."

"Is it so obvious?" Su Muxi said, "I received my mother's letter. We have passed Huaicheng. In two days, we will be able to enter the Northwest Territory."

"So that's how it is. Mother is safe and sound. That's all good."

Su Muxi nodded.

After returning to Fangfeiyuan, the two had a simple meal and then prepared to wash up and rest.

I still feel a little uncomfortable at the thought of sharing a bed with him again.

In order to prevent Xiao Yunjin from twisting her hair again, Su Muxi took a shower first.

When Xiao Yunjin came out, Su Muxi was already lying on her side on the bed, looking like she was asleep.

After turning off the lights, Xiao Yunjin climbed onto the bed in the dark. Although her back was facing him, her long, smooth hair was greeting him.

Feeling a slight itch on his cheek, Xiao Yunjin sniffed the long hair, which seemed to emit a hint of peach blossom fragrance.

He held the strand of hair in his hand and quietly closed his eyes.

There was no movement behind him for a long time. Su Muxi gradually let down his guard and his breathing became long.

She fell into a dream and returned to her childhood, the first time she entered the palace and met Xiao Yunjin for the first time. She was wearing a beautiful red dress and kicked Xiao Yunjin aside, "Bad boy, I don't want to play with you."

When she woke up, the sky was slightly bright. The man was no longer around her. Su Muxi had a smile on her face.

After washing and dressing up, she practiced a set of sword skills. When she was setting breakfast, Xiao Yunjin came back and Su Muxi asked Zhijuan to add more bowls and chopsticks.

"Ma'am, what did you dream about last night?"

"Sweet dreams."

Xiao Yunjin looked at her while eating. He couldn't help himself last night and wanted to hug her to sleep, but she kicked him away.

That kick was obviously delivered with great force, and his leg still hurts.

Noticing the gaze, Su Muxi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, "Why is the prince looking at me like this?"

"Madam is beautiful." Xiao Yunjin replied casually.

The two of them were talking in official language at the dinner table when Zhijuan came in and reported that Shi Erlang from the seventh room might not be able to make it.

The two of them put down their bowls and chopsticks, and the relaxed atmosphere just now was gone.

Xiao Yunjin stood up first, followed by Su Muxi, and the two walked side by side towards Room 7.

The matter was a foregone conclusion. When the two men arrived at the seventh room, Shierlang had already breathed his last.

The seventh room cried so loudly that the seventh wife fainted.

The mansion became busy again. The plain lanterns that had just been replaced two days ago were all changed to white.

The imperial edict came very quickly, and it was obvious that the emperor was always paying attention to the news from the Marquis' Mansion.

Twelve will marry into the princess's mansion and be buried in the princess's mausoleum.

In the afternoon, Rushui's betrothal gifts were carried to the seventh room. The third wife was put in solitary confinement, and Madam He led the fourth and fifth rooms to preside over all matters.

The dowry will be different from the usual preparations. It will be buried directly with the twelve princes and buried in the princess's tomb.

This matter was handed over to the seventh wife, the legitimate son. The seventh lady forced herself to stay calm and choose items that her son liked to be buried with him.

According to regulations, the bodies of the twelve princes must be kept in the princess's mansion for three days and then buried together in the princess's tomb.

So as soon as the mourning hall was set up, the first wave of mourners arrived.

The person who came was none other than Princess Jin Jiang Wanning.

Jiang Wanning is the nephew-in-law of Madam Hou, so she should be received by Madam Hou.

But the marquis's wife said that the twelfth prince died in vain, and she wanted to chant sutras to help him attain salvation for 49 days.

Before Madam He had time to get angry, Madam Seven agreed and thanked Madam Hou profusely.

The Marquis's wife did not go out as she was chanting sutras for the deceased's soul, so Su Muxi became the one who received her.

Su Muxi was very confused by the Marquis's behavior in the past two days, and she even had the illusion that she was reborn.

In my previous life, I was a weak person and would just cry when I was bullied.

Even though the Third Lady insulted her that day, she did not cry. Instead, she chatted with her in a stable mood and gave her the Buddhist beads she had worn all her life. In an occasion like today, she did not even leave the room.

Su Muxi led the group inside. Jiang Wanning pretended to be sad and comforted Madam Seven with a few words before leaving the mourning hall.

As time was short, guests usually paid their respects, exchanged a few polite words and then left.

Those who stayed behind were truly good relatives, but Jiang Wanning was not like that. If she didn't leave, Su Muxi couldn't drive her away.

She had a lot to do. She had to entertain both the relatives from the Marquis's side and her own relatives.

Arrange the person in the side hall and let Zhijuan serve him. She is careful in her work, so everything should be fine.

Su Muxi was a little uneasy. In her previous life, she had not dealt much with Jiang Wanning, but from the few times they had met, she could tell that this person was not an ordinary person.

People came to pay their respects one after another, and Su Muxi was very busy.

The Duke of Anguo's Mansion, the Duke's wife and the third wife all came. After they exchanged a few words, Su Muxi sent them out.

Next was the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. The one who came was the butler Erzhi, and the old nanny in the mansion. He quietly handed Su Muxi a note, nodded, and left.

Su Muxi clenched the note in her hand and received Mrs. Hou's family.

The marquis’s wife was not close to her natal family, so only two maids came. After Su Muxi sent them away, she walked towards the side hall.

Jiang Wanning was talking to Yu Rao, the two of them were as intimate as sisters.

Su Muxi listened to a few words and realized that it was Jiang Wanning who was teasing Yu Rao.

Nothing happened for the time being, so she turned around and prepared to go back to Fangfeiyuan with her cigarette. She had no time to read the note that Erzhi had sent her.
