Chapter 148: Coaxing her into the Marquis' Mansion? No Way

Ever since Mu Rong slept in Xu Rongrong's carriage for a whole day and was not driven out, he tacitly accepted this place as his means of transport back to the capital.

"My Lord, don't you always ride a horse when you are injured? Why are you willing to stay in a carriage?" Xu Rongrong looked at him coldly.

"That's because I was stupid before, and now I understand the benefits of riding in a carriage."

"There are quite a few carriages seized from the imperial farm. Your Majesty can take one of them." Xu Rongrong continued.

"Those carriages are cold and hard. How can they compare to Rongrong's carriage, with its incense burning in the stove and a soft couch."

"Since the Marquis likes it so much, then I'll give it to you. I'll go to the carriage at the back." Xu Rongrong made a gesture to leave.

"Why is the carriage so slow? Mu Ai, have you not eaten these days?! At this speed, can we still enter the capital before the New Year?" Mu Rong scolded.

Muai: "..."

He felt very bitter, but at this moment he could only whip the horse with all his might: "I know I am wrong."

The carriage sped along the official road, and Xu Rongrong was unable to get off.

She glared at him, "My Lord, don't you think this is too... childish?"

Xu Rongrong almost said the word shameless.

Mu Rong, however, was unconcerned: "I am younger, so I am more suitable for Rongrong, right?"

What's wrong with being shameless when chasing after your own wife?

The closer he got to the capital, the more at ease he felt.

When he was in Jiangnan, he always had an inexplicable worry in his heart: he was afraid that if he didn't keep an eye on her, she would hide in the world and never return to Beijing.

Now that this worry is gone, he began to plan for the next step.

Although the trip to the south of the Yangtze River was full of ups and downs and even experienced dangers, and the wound on his arm has not yet healed, he has also gained a lot, especially the fact that she is no longer as resistant to him as she was in Beijing. .

Now, she was willing to ride in the same carriage with him.

If I can continue to enter the capital like this, it would be a good sign!

Xu Rongrong didn't know what he was thinking. Since she couldn't change the carriage, she could only continue to sit still. Fortunately, there were a few medicine books in the carriage, which could slightly offset the strange atmosphere in the carriage.

There was a book whose pages were curled up because it had been read so many times, so Xu Rongrong spread it out on the table and smoothed out the corners.

Her fingertips turned slightly white due to the force, but the pages of the book were unwilling to obey her efforts.

After several attempts, Xu Rongrong became a little discouraged.

Mu Rong smiled and said, "Let me try."

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised: "You can do it?"

Mu Rong did not answer, but took the medicine book. With a slight force of his fingers, he brushed the page footer, which was as smooth as if it had been ironed.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

"Is this the effect of internal force? So magical?" she exclaimed.

Seeing her surprise, Mu Rong wanted to tease her: "How difficult is this? When you had a terrible headache earlier, your brows inevitably wrinkled during your light sleep. I used my inner strength to smooth your brows just like I did just now."

Xu Rongrong once again: "..."

"Lecher!" She was furious. How could someone describe something so unethical as so refreshing? Seeing that she was annoyed, Mu Rong stopped teasing her.

His little girl is very thin-skinned. If she makes trouble again, she might really jump out of the car.

He then smiled and handed the book back. "I didn't expect you to love books so much. I have a huge study in my mansion, filled with books accumulated over generations of the Mu family. Also, when my mother was alive, she loved studying pharmacology, just like you, so my father found many good books for her. If His Majesty in the palace finds a rare copy, he will give it to my mother. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

As he spoke, he keenly noticed that when Xu Rongrong heard the medicine book, the tip of her small ears moved and her eyelids lifted slightly.

He knew he had hit the nail on the head, so he gently coaxed her, "Why don't you come back to the Marquis' Mansion with me after we return to the capital? You can do whatever you want with me then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong returned to her previous indifferent look and said coldly: "I appreciate the Marquis's kindness, but those are Princess Rongyang's collection of books. I think they are very precious and of great significance to the Marquis. How can I offend you casually?" He talked for a long time just to coax her into the Marquis's mansion.

She wouldn't be so stupid!

However, there were indeed ripples in her heart just now.

Of course she knew that study!

In her previous life, when she was lonely in the mansion, she almost lived in it. She knew every layout, every bookshelf, and every number of volumes clearly.

At first, she read books just to find a little comfort.

Because she didn't understand why Mu Rong treated her like this, she wanted to find the answer in the book.

But later, she came across a book in Princess Rongyang's collection.

It was that book that sparked her interest in pharmacology, and it was also that book that brought her relief.

Thus, she began to plant, collect, and research herbs in the mansion. Later, with the help of Xu Xiangnan, she managed the herb garden better and her life became more leisurely.

After her rebirth, although she asked Luo Shu to collect some medical books outside, none of them could compare with the collection of books in the Marquis' Mansion.

She really even dreamed of revisiting those treasures.

But... do I really have to enter the mansion?

In just a short moment, Mu Rong took in the ever-changing expressions in her eyes and eyebrows.

Mu Rong curled up the corners of his mouth, said nothing more, and waited quietly.

As expected, when Xu Rongrong saw that there was no further response from him, she quickly glanced in his direction.

As soon as he saw it, he caught it red-handed, so he quickly pretended to be calm.

She didn't want to show her desire...

However, just this one glance had already made Mu Rong's mind clear.

He crossed his arms and said, "Since you don't want to, I won't force you. You've already got quite a few books this time."

After saying that, he simply closed his eyes and rested.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong bit her lip: Humph, she just said that she was willing to let her read the book, it turned out that she was not sincere at all!

She was just complaining in her heart when she suddenly heard Mu Ai's voice outside the car: "Hey? It seems to be snowing."

Few women don't love snowflakes.

Upon hearing this, Xu Rongrong opened the curtains.

Mu Ai was right. When he looked up, he could see sporadic snowflakes coming from the sky, falling to the ground and quickly disappearing.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Auspicious snow indicates a good harvest. I hope this will be a good omen.

As if to fulfill her wish, the snowflakes grew larger and denser. After only half an hour, she could see that the people walking with her outside had a thin layer of snow on their bodies and on their horses.

As the horse's hooves passed by, the snowflakes in the air and the snowflakes splashed on the ground intertwined and flew continuously.

At first glance, it seemed as if a layer of white mist had risen.

Amidst the falling snowflakes, a magnificent city wall appeared at the end of Xu Rongrong's vision.

Beijing.

She has come back.
