Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger
Chapter 23: Mu Yan Lets Herself Go
Lu Chenxiao is very fast.
In the afternoon, rumors began to spread in the mansion that it was a retainer named Mr. Shu.
When he first arrived at the palace, he was in an awkward situation and was being targeted and troubled by the housekeeper. He was seen by Aunt Mu who was passing by.
Aunt Mu saw injustice and interceded for Mr. Shu, who was grateful and thanked her.
After the butler left, the two felt that they had met too late.
We talked about everything from poetry to music, from the south of the Yangtze River to the north of the desert, and we got along very well.
Living in Anran Village, Meng Yunshang rested and recuperated, and in her free time she accompanied Huai'an in practicing calligraphy and reading.
All the medicines sent by Mu Yan were secretly handled by Dan Qiu.
Under Danqiu's suggestion, the servants in the mansion were extremely tolerant of the people in and out of Fenghua Courtyard.
Mu Yan felt more and more comfortable living there, and coincidentally, she had a second and third meeting with Mr. Shu, and the more they talked, the more they got along.
When Dangui came to report happily that Mu Yan was shyly held in Mr. Shu's arms, Meng Yunshang knew that her plan had succeeded.
To Mu Yan, no matter how good Meng Yunchuan is, he is not in front of her after all. Mr. Shu, who was carefully selected by Lu Chenxiao, not only has the elegance of a scholar, but also the strong physique of a military commander.
More importantly, he has a silver tongue.
No matter what Mu Yan talked about, he could always answer. If necessary, he could also use his deliberately fabricated tragic life experience to play a pity role.
Mu Yan's lonely and unrestrained heart completely sank into Mr. Shu's love net.
Another three days passed, and Mu Yan and Mr. Shu felt like fish in water, making rapid progress.
After confirming that Meng Yunshang turned a blind eye to her affairs, Mu Yan completely let herself go.
She blatantly sent someone to invite Mr. Shu to Fenghuayuan for a small gathering, and even specially put on the thin gauze clothes that the embroiderer in the mansion had made overnight.
When Meng Yunshang heard Danqiu's report, she couldn't suppress the curve of her lips.
Danqiu asked cautiously, "Princess, should we stop them?"
"Why are you stopping me?"
"After all, Aunt Mu is Madam's right-hand woman. She was deceived in the palace and came back to Madam to cry. It is inevitable that it will ruin the mother-daughter relationship between the princess and Madam."
Meng Yunshang curled her lips and sneered, "Danqiu, remember this, it was the lonely Mu Yan who was restless, and she couldn't control her restless heart. If there is any deception, it should be Mr. Shu who was deceived by him."
As for the possibility of falling out with his mother and daughter for Mu Yan, it is simply impossible.
Danqiu was shocked by the coldness in her eyes and nodded quickly.
I always feel that the princess's temperament has changed drastically after she was injured this time.
He changed his past cold and indifferent attitude towards the Crown Prince and became ruthless and indifferent to the people in the Shangshu Mansion.
Thinking that she would have to go back to the mansion to attend the old lady's birthday banquet tomorrow, Danqiu gently reminded, "The birthday gift for the old lady has been prepared. Would the princess like to take a look?"
"Bring me the birthday gift list."
"Okay, Princess."
Looking at the long list of birthday gifts, Meng Yunshang's expression became a little cold.
I opened it and saw it said:
"One deep-sea jade coral, one box of top-quality oriental pearls, twelve night-shining pearls, one golden jade Ruyi cup, one agarwood crutch, one string of agarwood prayer beads... ten rolls of Sichuan brocade, ten rolls of silk, a set of ruby head ornaments, a pair of silver armlets, and a full set of gold ornaments with the pattern of auspicious birds climbing branches."
Meng Yunshang tore the list into two pieces without hesitation and handed the second half to Danqiu, "Have someone rewrite a copy."
Danqiu looked at the few unremarkable things on the list and hesitantly reminded Meng Yunshang, "Princess, these are a bit shabby as birthday gifts, and I'm afraid they don't match your current status."
It’s the old lady’s birthday and the whole capital is watching.
Danqiu thought that the princess suddenly agreed to return to the Meng family to celebrate the birthday because she wanted to give face to the Meng family.
So she put all the good things in the warehouse on the list.
However, Meng Yunshang looked at her indifferently.
He folded the first half of the list and added in a flat tone, "Then add the Black Iron Mountain Splitting Axe, Meteor Stepping Moon Sword, and Nine-Section Glazed Whip at the end. Remember to tell them that the Mountain Splitting Axe, Moon Stepping Sword, and Glazed Whip are all the prince's spoils of war."
The spoils captured by Prince Heng himself were naturally extremely worthy of her status as Prince Heng's wife.
It’s just that Meng Yunchuan has studied hard for many years and prefers gold, silver, yellow and white things.
The old lady came from the countryside and was afraid of being looked down upon by the noble ladies in the capital, so she liked to use noble and elegant things to highlight her own extraordinaryness.
The mother and son usually hate it when someone in the house is not stable, and they don't like their children and grandchildren to wield swords and guns, always thinking it is rude and cheap.
Meng Yunchuan had many plans for this birthday.
One of them was to use the name of Hengwang Mansion to make money, and to form a clique for personal gain by relying on his status as Hengwang's father-in-law.
But she just didn't do what Meng Yunchuan wanted.
He took away the rare treasures that pleased them, and used Lu Chenxiao's tiger skin to make their wishes come to nothing.
She wanted to see what Meng Yunchuan's expression would be when he learned of such a gift.
"Yes," Danqiu finally understood that the princess was not only unwilling to give honor to the Meng family, but also intended to suppress the momentum of the Meng family.
She bowed and responded, "I will do it right away. I will never let the princess down."
"Go ahead," Meng Yunshang waved her hand, "add some fuel to the fire at Fenghua Courtyard, and make sure our Aunt Mu has a night worth a thousand gold coins."
"The servant understands."
*
Early in the morning of the next day, Fenghuayuan.
Qingyi and Lanyi helped Mu Yan to wash and groom as usual, but as soon as they entered the room, they were shocked by the dazzling scene in front of them and cried out.
"Oh my god, you guys..."
"lady!"
The two of them spoke loudly, which quickly attracted the attention of other people in the courtyard.
Mu Yan opened her heavy eyelids and saw the man with the light fruit beside her pillow, and screamed subconsciously.
However, what Qingyi and Lanyi said next made her even more devastated.
Qing Yi said, "Madam, the Minister asked us to come here to protect you from being wronged, but he didn't ask us to help you mess around with other men."
Lan Yi said, "The Minister wrote to you last night, saying that you must accompany the princess back to the Minister's Mansion to celebrate her birthday this morning, but you... oh, this is so embarrassing."
At this time, a maid shouted outside the door, "Miss Danqiu is here to urge us. She said that the princess is ready to leave for the Shangshu Mansion and asked if Aunt Mu has packed everything?"
Aunt Mu looked at the bruises on her body, feeling annoyed and embarrassed.
But the man beside her waved his hand to let down the bed curtain, then pressed on her again, calling her "Yan'er" over and over again.
Mu Yan was so tempted that she couldn't bear it. When she was sinking into unconsciousness, she heard Qing Yi urging her, "Madam, we should go back to the Shangshu Mansion."
Mu Yan wanted to respond, but the man kissed her lips.
After a long time, Mu Yan's intermittent breathing sounds were heard from behind the bed curtains.
"No, I won't reply. Just tell me that I drank too late last night and caught a cold, so I shouldn't go out."
The man in blue and the man in green looked at each other, said "OK" softly, then walked out of the room and whispered something to the maid who came to deliver the message.
Afterwards, the only sounds left in Fenghuayuan were the ambiguous sounds coming from the house.
In the front hall, Meng Yunshang instructed Dangui to count the birthday gifts again according to the list.
Danqiu leaned close to her ear to report the situation in Fenghua Courtyard. Meng Yunshang chuckled, "Tell Qingyi and Lanyi that if the Shangshu Mansion asks them questions, remember to cover up for Aunt Mu."
Mu Yan’s unique drama has not yet begun, so don’t rush.
"Okay, Princess."
Seeing that everything was ready, Meng Yunshang stood up and prepared to set off.
A familiar voice came from the door, "Mother~"
