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

Chapter 174 If you know my secret, you will follow me forever

174:

Mu Rong used hunting deer to seduce his little girl.

But although Xu Rongrong was moved, she resisted the temptation.

But next...

"I heard that before Luo Chen went to Jiangnan, he had been looking for a farm suitable for growing herbs in the suburbs of Beijing. I know a suitable farm. Why don't we go take a look together while we have some free time now?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

In the end, she agreed.

It wasn't because her will wasn't strong enough, but because when the two of them were talking in the flower garden, the older girl named Yu Jin next to Xu Yaoyao had already peeked in twice.

On New Year's Eve, Xu Chaoqian made a scene in front of him because of the New Year gift-giving incident.

He thought that everything happened because of Xu Yaoyao's instigation, so he vented all his anger on his second daughter and confined her in the Bai Cui courtyard.

But only one day later, Xu Yaoyao "fell ill" again, and her maid was crying in front of Xu Chaoqian, looking very pitiful.

Thinking about how my second daughter has been raised in my hands for so many years.

Compared to his son, who was away studying and unable to return home, his eldest daughter had long since alienated him, and now that she was the county lord, she could embarrass him at any moment. His second daughter had always been the most caring, but now that she was sick from being confined by him, he was heartbroken and immediately released her from confinement.

After hearing this, Xu Rongrong felt even more disgusted.

She asked Wen Yao to send the steward's pair of cards to Xu Chaoqian. Xu Yaoyao had tried every means to get it before, but she refused to give it to him.

Now that the father and daughter don’t dare to make trouble openly again, they simply hand over the power to them and let them clean up the mess themselves!

Without all these trivial matters, she was happy to close the door and read and paint.

Luo Shu had already settled Shu Qing in the medicine shop in the eighth lane of the capital.

Luo Xiao also settled down with her relatives in the capital.

She no longer had any worries.

But Xu Yaoyao couldn't sit still. The stewards in Xu's mansion had been kept obedient by Xu Rongrong these days, but now they have changed their masters, so naturally they are not so obedient.

She wanted Xu Rongrong to help her run the business every day.

Today, when I heard that Xu Rongrong had left the yard, I asked Yu Jin to come and keep an eye on her again.

This made Xu Rongrong very upset.

She had intended to reject Mu Rong, but after seeing Yu Jin's sneaky behavior...

It would be better to take this opportunity to go out for a walk.

……

On the other side, Xu Chaoqian was humming a little tune in his room.

The long-servant Xu Dong came in and reported: "Master, the Marquis of Weiyuan just came to the mansion to see the eldest lady."

"Where is he? Help me get dressed, and go and keep him."

It has been several days since Mu Rong returned to Beijing, and he has not come to visit me at home.

Since he finally got here today, he naturally wanted to go and see him.

But he had just put on his clothes and was about to take a step when he almost bumped into Xu Dong: "Master, the eldest lady wants to leave the house."

"What? It's New Year's Eve, how can a girl like her show up in public? Tell her not to go out!"

Xu Dong hurried out to pass on the message, but soon he came back: "Master, the eldest lady has left the house."

"What? Didn't you tell her what I said?"

"She...she did! But Luo Shu beside her said...the county lady doesn't need anyone else's consent to travel?"

Xu Chaoqian was so angry that his beard trembled three times: "This! This rebellious girl!"

……

This was the first time in two lifetimes that Xu Rongrong had gone for a trip to the outskirts of the city.

In her previous life, she had left the city several times to dig herbs.

Although no one in the Marquis' Mansion took care of her at that time, and the coachman Mu Yi assigned to her was somewhat skilled, she was alone after all and was somewhat timid.

Therefore, they dug up the herbs they found with their roots and hurried back to the city without delay.

It’s nowhere near as leisurely and comfortable as it is today.

With a different mindset, her perspective also changed. She hadn't expected the suburbs of Beijing to be so lively.

Many nobles in the capital have houses and manors in the suburbs of the capital. Therefore, many of them take advantage of the New Year holidays when they don’t have to work and travel with their families.

Therefore...the pipeline became extremely congested.

"What happened up ahead? Why can't we move a step for such a long time?" A woman's complaint came from the car next to them.

"I heard that Duke Ningguo was returning home from the manor when he ran into someone leaving the city. They're currently clearing the road ahead."

"This is strange. Everyone is busy traveling today, but why does the Duke's Mansion insist on returning to the city?"

"This slave doesn't know."

The master and servant were talking loudly, and Xu Rongrong could hear it clearly in the car.

Beside her, Mu Rong was leaning against the table and drinking tea slowly.

Yes, this fellow drove Wen Yao and Luo Shu to the carriage at the back, and he was quite calm about occupying their place.

Xu Rongrong was a little puzzled: "The Second Prince's Mansion just had an incident not long ago. Shouldn't the Duke keep a low profile at this time?"

Mu Rong disagreed: "Who knows? Maybe there's something urgent going on in the mansion."

As they were talking, they heard someone outside shouting, "It's open, the road ahead is passable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Rongrong felt the carriage shake, and the wheels rolled forward again.

Mu Rong smiled and said, "It seems that the Duke will be returning to the city soon."

Xu Rongrong saw his strange smile and thought to herself, "Could the things happening in his mansion be related to you?"

"No matter what it is, I can't hide it from Rongrong." Mu Rong smiled brightly, "You are really getting smarter and smarter."

Xu Rongrong threw the chestnut in her hand at him: "What's going on? Why is it related to the Duke's Mansion again?" Mu Rong took the chestnut with a smile, squeezed it open for her, and took out the flesh.

Then he casually told Xu Rongrong about his and the Third Prince's plan, and said, "The Crown Prince is incompetent, the Second Prince is ruthless, and the Fourth Prince is insidious. They are all wary of Third Brother. No matter who ascends the throne in the future, Third Brother will not end well. In this case, why not strike first?"

Xu Rongrong was surprised and suspicious: "You want to help the Third Prince seize the throne!"

Mu Rong tossed the fruit into Xu Rongrong's slightly opened mouth and said with a smile, "Third brother is both virtuous and loving, and he loves the people like his own children. Only with him ascending the throne can the people live and work in greater peace and contentment."

In his previous life, the fourth prince Wu Tianqi became the winner and forced the emperor to abdicate.

The emperor had no choice but to announce to the world that he would pass the throne to Wu Tianqi, and he himself became the emperor emeritus.

But what no one expected was that Wu Tianqi killed all the adult princes just one year after he ascended the throne.

He turned his attention to Mu Rong, but Mu Rong escaped thanks to Xu Rongrong's life-threatening rescue.

He was worried that the emperor would join forces with Mu Rong and pose a threat to him, so he wanted to kill his father!

Fortunately, the secret decree from the retired emperor was delivered to Mu Rong first.

Mu Rong led the Mu family army back to the court to assist the emperor and restore his throne.

Although the Zhou Dynasty returned to its orthodox state, only the seventh prince was left as a young child.

The ruler was young and the country was in doubt. After the death of the retired emperor, Mu Rong also died of old age.

Before Mu Rong died, his maternal relatives and royal family members fought against each other, and the entire court was no longer clear.

After being reborn, he also hopes to restore order and allow those who are truly capable to benefit the people.

He had been determined to support the Third Prince since the day he was reborn, and now it was even more resolute. But the girl before him had a look of shock on her face: "You...you! You! Why did you tell me this!"

Mu Rong smiled and cracked open another chestnut for her:

"To tie Rongrong to my boat."

"Once you know my secret, you will follow me forever."
