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

Chapter 216 Success

The reason why Chu He was preparing to return to the palace immediately was because Chang Jing was about to arrive in the capital.

After the imperial guards captured Chang Jing in Xianzhou City, the Mu family army immediately reported the news to the capital.

It would take at least ten days to return to the capital from Xianzhou, but the matter was urgent. Moreover, when the imperial guards captured Chang Jing, they also found a list of people who had been sold to foreign countries in his mansion.

This concerns the lives of the people of the Great Zhou, and this is what Your Majesty cares about most.

Therefore, the journey back to Beijing must naturally be accelerated.

On the other hand, because the Mu family army secretly blocked the news, Chang Jing was unaware of the movements in the capital. Therefore, when the imperial guards broke into Xianzhou City, it was like a divine attack from heaven to Chang Jing! The roster was searched, making it impossible for him to deny it. He could only blame everything on the Chang family, saying that he had failed to control his subordinates and let them take advantage of him.

The imperial guards arrested both of them at the same time and escorted them to the capital together.

Chang Jing wanted to shirk responsibility, but Mu Rong naturally couldn't let him get his wish. He had been busy with this matter these days.

Xu Rongrong hadn't seen him for two days.

After seeing Chu He off this afternoon, she sent a message to Luo Chen to go to Xu Mansion to pick up Chu Yun.

Chu Yun lived in the utility room of Xu's house, which was closest to the back door, so his departure hardly alarmed anyone in the house.

After Luo Chen settled Chu Yun, he hurried to report to Xu Rongrong.

Knowing that he always did things properly, Xu Rongrong didn't say anything, but just told Luo Shu to go over in a couple of days to see if anything needed to be filled.

She was leaning against the window discussing with Luo Shu when she saw Mu Rong come in with a cold look on his face.

Now she was feeling much better, and the room was no longer as cold as before. Mu Rong took off his cloak and stood in the distance.

While roasting the charcoal fire, he asked her, "How have you been these past two days?"

Xu Rongrong was a little tired because of the many things she had to do today, but when he asked, she still said, "I'm much better now."

Mu Rong strode closer, the candlelight shining on his face, revealing his fatigue.

During the day, he had to deal with official duties and matters concerning the imperial farm, and at night he had to use his internal energy to help Xu Rongrong sleep. Mu Rong's fatigue could no longer be concealed.

But he didn't care at all. Under Xu Rongrong's bright gaze, he suddenly moved his handsome face closer.

Xu Rongrong was startled and subconsciously glared at him: "What are you going to do?"

Mu Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully studying Xu Rongrong's defensive expression, and then smiled lightly: "Rongrong's complexion is indeed much better."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She stepped back slightly, but the bed frame was behind her and she had nowhere to retreat.

So he glared at Mu Rong and said, "Stand away and talk properly!"

"Okay." Mu Rong smiled brightly and followed suit.

He stepped back slightly, and Luo Shu saw this and hurriedly brought a round stool over.

Mu Rong sat down and asked, "I heard you had something to talk to me about these past two days?"

After he returned home the day before yesterday, he heard Mu Yi say that people from Xinghui Hall had come out to look for him twice.

So he hurried over, but Xu Rongrong had already fallen into a deep sleep, and there was no way of knowing what she wanted to do with him.

After all, she slept soundly, so he naturally didn't want to wake her up. Since he couldn't bear to let her down, he had to let himself down.

So today he took care of things outside early and came back early before she went to sleep.

Seeing him mention it, Xu Rongrong nodded.

She glanced at Luo Shu and said, "Go get a pot of hot water for the Marquis."

"Yes."

After Luo Shu left, Xu Rongrong said, "Wen Yao will be sixteen soon. I want to exchange her household registration with Luo Shu before her birthday. But I can't go to the government office to handle this matter myself, so I'd like to trouble the Marquis."

"Do you want to denaturalize them?" Mu Rong asked.

"Exactly."

According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in addition to a copy of the servant's indenture being held by the master, a backup copy must also be left at the government's household registration office.

This is to prevent any daring servants from murdering their masters and seizing their indentures.

Similarly, if the master wants to free the servant, he must go to the household registration office in person to retrieve the indenture.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu's indentures are with Xu Rongrong, so naturally she has to handle the matter of deregistering them, and no one else can do it for them.

But if it were him...it wouldn't be difficult.

"Tomorrow I'll have Mu Yi go to the government office and take care of this matter."

"More lords."

"You treat everyone very well." Mu Rong muttered.

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Has she been treating him well lately?

After Mu Rong finished speaking, he also felt bored.

Why is he comparing himself with the girl next to her?

He changed the subject: "You've been stuck in the mansion for these days. I guess you're tired of it, right? Although it's already past the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the capital is still bustling these days. Tomorrow I have a day off. I'd like to take you out for a stroll. Would you like to?"

"Really?" Xu Rongrong opened her eyes wide. Of course!

"Of course I do!"

Mu Rong heard this and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on his lips...

Xu Rongrong saw this and felt it was a little strange for a moment, but for a long time she couldn't figure out what was wrong with this travel arrangement.

until……

The next morning, Wen Yao had just helped her put on her clothes when Mu Rong came over and picked her up...

"What is the Marquis doing?" Xu Rongrong resisted a little.

Mu Rong tightened his arms and said, "Your legs are weak now. If we wait until you can no longer walk, I don't know how long it will take. Let me do it for you!"

After saying this, he carried her out of Xinghui Hall, through the garden and the front hall under the gaze of the servants, and carried her all the way to the carriage.

Only then did Xu Rongrong understand why the man in front of her had such an expression the night before!

He proposed taking her out for a trip at this time because he was calculating that he couldn't walk smoothly at the moment.

This person...

This man!
