The reborn girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent marquis hugs her and coaxes her!

Chapter 156 Concubine Shu's Anger

Perhaps Mu Rong's gaze was too fiery.

Xu Rongrong's cheeks were flushed from the heat. The light in the carriage was dim, making her look particularly charming.

Mu Rong saw this and suddenly didn't want to ride anymore.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he suddenly sneezed.

Xu Rongrong glanced at him sideways. Mu Rong today was just as he was on the night of the Qixi Festival banquet. Wearing a sky-blue casual suit, he looked more handsome and less murderous.

As it was winter, he wore a thick fox fur coat over his regular clothes.

But even so, it still looked a little thin. Xu Rongrong frowned: "It's so cold, why is the Marquis wearing so little?"

Mu Rong smiled and said, "I came here from the Marquis' Mansion. I was afraid of being too late to see Rongrong, so I didn't make any extra preparations."

Mu Lu on the side: "..."

I can now tell lies more fluently than sweet words!

Just as the two were talking, another gust of wind blew, blowing up the snow particles on the ground and making Xu Rongrong unable to open her eyes.

Mu Rong said considerately, "Just lower the curtain to prevent it from moving."

When he spoke, he even trembled at the right time...

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong asked, "The wind is so strong, does the Marquis want to get in the car..."

"Okay!" Mu Rong agreed readily.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Something seems wrong.

But before she could react, Mu Rong had already lowered his head and entered the carriage. Before he finished, he reminded Mu Lu, "Go back to the Marquis' Mansion and get some clothes for me."

Mu Lu: “…”

After he agreed, he also took Mu Rong's mount away.

As a result, his master had no choice but to "suffer" in Miss Xu's carriage.

Xu Feng whipped the horse again, and the carriage rushed towards the palace again.

Inside the carriage, Mu Rong was leaning against a charcoal basin to keep warm, a smile on his face: "It's still warm here, Rongrong."

Xu Rongrong sat in the corner somewhat uncomfortably, holding a hand warmer in her hand, staying as far away from him as possible.

Mu Rong raised an eyebrow at this: "Rongrong and I have only been apart for a day, how come you have become so distant?"

On the way back to Beijing from Jiangnan, they... were together every day. "Come closer, your corner is too cold."

"It's okay, I have a hand warmer here."

Mu Rong glanced at the hand warmer she was holding in her arms and responded casually: "Oh, isn't this the hand warmer I found for you?"

Xu Rongrong looked down and saw that it was true!

She felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She had been using it very conveniently these days and had taken it with her when she left the house just now.

did not expect……

"Since Rongrong likes the things I gave her, I will give her more in the future."

Xu Rongrong hurriedly said, "No, it's enough already. What's more, you dare to take out those farms and shops, aren't you afraid that the mansion will be emptied into a shell?"

"If you really drain me of my wealth, I will cry in front of the Xu Mansion every day."

Xu Rongrong was furious, her lips puffed up in anger. "Tomorrow I'll have the box sent back to the Marquis' Mansion."

Looking at the soft, smooth southern jade hairpin on her temples, Mu Rong smiled and said, "I don't want it. If you really want to return the gift, then return the box of medicine books to me as well."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "Okay."

Seeing that she was clearly reluctant to give it up, yet still trying hard to pretend not to care, Mu Rong burst out laughing: "I'm just kidding. How can I ask for something back that I gave you?"

Xu Rongrong blushed when she heard this: Who asked you to tease me!

How could this person become such a scoundrel after returning to Beijing!

Before they knew it, the carriage stopped in front of the palace gate.

Because Princess Ping'an was a new noble of the royal family, although her carriage was not luxurious, it still attracted everyone's attention.

Under the curious gazes of the royal family, Mu Rong leisurely pushed open the door and jumped out of the carriage. Everyone: "Oh?..."

Wen Yao also came out of the car shortly afterwards. She was about to help her young lady when she heard Mu Rong say, "I'll do it."

He reached out to help Xu Rongrong out of the carriage.

But the surroundings were bustling with activity, so Xu Rongrong couldn't agree: "Don't bother me, my Lord. I can do it myself."

Mu Rong thought of her blushing face in the car just now, and he wanted to tease her again: "Then I'll carry you down..."

Xu Rongrong was shocked, her eyes as frightened as a deer, and she subconsciously said, "Don't!"

Seeing this, Mu Rong couldn't help laughing. He withdrew his hand and glanced at Wen Yao: "Go and help her get out of the car."

Seeing that he no longer insisted, both the master and the servant breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Xu Rongrong landed and stood firm, she met Mu Rong's half-smile eyes:

"Isn't Rongrong fearless? She even dared to pick herbs from the cliffs. Why are you afraid of other people's gossip now?"

Xu Rongrong rolled her eyes inwardly.

"I just don't want to be the topic of conversation for others."

Mu Rong laughed and said, "They wouldn't dare."

Xu Rongrong heard: "Hmm?"

"You are my wife, no one dares to use you as a topic of conversation."

Xu Rongrong couldn't help but laugh: "My Lord, have you forgotten that you and I are only married under the order of His Majesty. I am still a daughter of the Xu family, not the wife of Marquis Weiyuan?"

"Oh?" Mu Rong leaned forward slightly, his eyes blazing as he gazed at the girl before him. "Rongrong, are you reminding me to set a date quickly and marry you?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She didn't want to talk to this man anymore tonight! However, things didn't go as planned.

As soon as she entered the palace, she saw the eunuch Wang, who was serving the emperor, waiting for her at the palace gate.

Seeing her and Mu Rong coming, he hurried forward to greet them: "The Marquis and the County Lady have finally arrived. This old servant has been waiting here for so long that his back and waist are aching."

Mu Rong smiled and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wang, but what are the Queen's instructions?"

Eunuch Wang nodded and said, "Tonight is the family dinner. The Empress specially arranged for you two to sit together and ordered this old servant to personally welcome the Marquis and the County Lady."

Mu Rong turned around and looked at Xu Rongrong: "The Queen is so considerate."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Where! It’s so thoughtful!

The dinner was held in Zhengyang Palace, but due to her status, Xu Rongrong no longer had to sit in the corner. Although she was unwilling, she was still arranged to sit next to Mu Rong.

When he looked up, he met the cold eyes of a palace beauty in front of him.

She had seen that person once in the hunting palace: Concubine Shu.

Only this time, her eyes were filled with sinisterness and hatred.

Why did she see him this way? Was it because of the Second Prince? Or was it because of the Prince of Changxing?

Xu Rongrong was a little confused, and the malicious confrontation at such a close distance also made her feel a little uneasy.

But the next moment, her hand was wrapped by a warm palm.

She subconsciously turned her head and saw Mu Rong's gentle smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He soothed her in a voice only the two of them could hear, "The Second Prince is imprisoned. She knows it's related to me. Now the hatred is directed at me. Don't worry." Xu Rongrong was stunned: "If it was directed at you, I wouldn't worry."

Mu Rong was startled when he heard this, then smiled and said, "If Rongrong is worried about me... that's not impossible."
