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

Chapter 232 A Woman's Heart Is Deep

Looking at the look in Xu Rongrong's eyes, Mu Rong knew that she was not dissatisfied with his arrangement.

In his previous life, after he killed Wu Tianqi and helped the emperor to restore his throne, he had too much time to learn about Xu Rongrong's past.

She knew clearly everything Xu Chaoqian and Xu Liu had done to her.

So, he used the power in his hands to demote Xu Chaoqian all the way to a commoner, restored the ranking of Xu Rongrong's biological mother He in the Xu family ancestral hall, demoted Xu Liu to a concubine, and swallowed up all her property, leaving them penniless.

He didn't kill them.

After all, if there was no Xu Chaoqian, there would be no Xu Rongrong.

But he made them live a life worse than death. After all, he would not show mercy to anyone who hurt her.

The couple spent the rest of their lives in poverty, and no one in the clan dared to help them.

Their two daughters became concubines and were never able to see each other again. Their only son Xu Ming became addicted to gambling and took away all their last property.

This is the result of their past lives.

In this life, Xu Liu has already died in obscurity.

He did not dare to interfere too much with Xu Chaoqian, simply because he was afraid of being exposed and seen through by Xu Rongrong.

This transfer was also a test for him.

After all, Xu Chaoqian is her biological father, and they are related by blood.

If she knew that I had transferred her biological father to a cold and harsh place, I wonder if the situation that had been eased with great difficulty would collapse in an instant.

Fortunately, Xu Rongrong was not dissatisfied. She looked at Mu Rong, her eyes flickering with joy. "Thank you, Lord, for taking so much trouble for me."

He thought the same as herself: not to marry in the Xu Mansion.

But he was obviously more prepared, making sure he would not be criticized by the world.

He thought about her...really too much.

These thoughts flashed through her mind one by one, making her feel a little overwhelmed.

Her marriage to Mu Rong in this life was personally ordered by His Majesty and cannot be changed.

In addition, his actions in this life were very different from those in his previous life, which made her want to just obey the will of fate.

But... everything that happened right now made her heart tremble slightly.

She seemed to be moved again. But...

No way.

She turned her back and said, "I still have to pack up and prepare for moving the next day... It's getting late now, please go back, my lord."

Mu Rong was slightly startled when he heard this.

What's going on here?

He watched the gentle, grateful light in Xu Rongrong's eyes gradually fade away.

It was replaced by evasive indifference.

"Did I say something wrong?" He held Xu Rongrong's hand, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Xu Rongrong pulled her hand away abruptly and lowered her head: "My Lord, you are right, I'm just a little tired."

"My Lord, please go back." She sent him away again.

...Back in the study, Mu Rong's expression was still icy.

He couldn't figure out why Xu Rongrong suddenly changed. She was smiling and thanking him the moment before, but the next moment she blocked him outside the door with an icy lock.

The three guards and the chief secretary of the Marquis's mansion were waiting outside the study. The Marquis's face was scary, and none of them dared to go in and bring bad luck upon themselves.

"You said, I was fine before I entered Xinghui Hall, why do I look like this?" Mu Lu asked.

"He must have had some trouble with the eldest lady." Mu Ai sighed. He hadn't seen the Marquis like this for a long time.

When the marriage was first granted by His Majesty, the Marquis looked like this every time he came back from seeing the eldest lady. At that time, they all knew that although the eldest lady of the Xu family was not from a prominent family, she still treated the first-rank military marquis with disrespect.

But after returning from Jiangnan, the eldest lady's treatment of the Marquis became clearer and better day by day.

How come now... "What do you think happened to the young lady?" Mu Ai asked.

Mu Lu glanced at him and said, "Women's hearts are very deep. How can they expect us bachelors to do that? I'm afraid they won't be able to figure it out even if they rack their brains!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard Mu Rong's low voice scolding from the study: "Get in here!"

Mu Rong's inner strength was profound, and he could clearly hear the suspicions of the people outside the house, which made him extremely annoyed.

Everyone in the room is a warrior!

There is not a single one that can be used right now!

They just talk nonsense and make noise!

Mu Yi brought Mu Ai, Mu Wu and Mu Lu into the study room: "What do you want me to do?"

Mu Rong glanced at Mu Wu, who seldom appeared in the mansion. "Why are you here? Is there any movement from the Lin family?"

Mu Ai was injured, so Mu Wu and Mu Lu were watching over what was happening outside. Ever since he knew that Lin Jiaoyue was going to help Wu Tianqi plot against Cheng Jintong, the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, Mu Wu had been keeping a close eye on that place.

Now that his own master had asked, he hurriedly said, "Lin Jiaoyue planned to take advantage of the Flower Festival to make a move. After the Fourth Prince arrives, she will bring Cheng Jintong into the wing room to meet the Fourth Prince. She will also light aphrodisiac incense in the room and slip one of the incense tablets into Miss Cheng's clothes. When someone discovers it, they will say that Miss Cheng deliberately did it to the Fourth Prince."

This method really disregards any friendship.

Mu Rong snorted coldly.

If she succeeds, the Fourth Prince will be "forced" to marry Cheng Jintong, and the Ministry of Rites family will be tied to Wu Tianqi's boat.

Cheng Jintong "plotted" against the Fourth Prince in public, and her reputation was ruined. She would probably never be able to hold her head up again in this life. Even if she became the Fourth Prince's consort, she would not pose any threat to Lin Jiaoyue.

"Now that you know this method, you can't waste it." Mu Rong said coldly, "Just copy it and use it on yourself."

"Yes." Mu Wu answered and quickly slipped out.

"You guys get out too." Mu Rong roared.

Several people quickly retreated. Mu Ai was a little puzzled. "If my master does this, the Fourth Prince will probably never get involved with the Ministry of Rites again. However, the Ministry of War will be tied to him. Given Minister Lin's current power in the court, isn't this a help to the Fourth Prince?"

"What are you thinking?" Mu Lu glared at him. "What else does the Lin family have now? Lin Yunce is already useless. Even after he recovers from his injuries, he can't return to Jingjiwei. Being a civil servant? He is not cut out for that! Don't look at Minister Lin's current glory. His son is a cripple. He is just a toothless tiger. His prestige will not last for many days."

"Plus, Lin Jiaoyue has already been disliked by His Majesty, and the Lin family is now the one the Fourth Prince least wants to win over! Who knows how angry he'll be when he's forced to marry the eldest daughter of the Lin family!"

Xu Rongrong soon learned about what was happening in the study. Mu Rong wasn't avoiding her when he was doing things, so when Mu Lu came to Xinghui Hall to chat with Luo Shu, he told her about the Marquis's arrangements.

"I didn't expect Miss Lin to be so cruel!" Luo Shu sighed when he heard that.

Xu Rongrong sneered: "In this case, we can't let her work in vain. Naturally, we must let the eldest lady of the Cheng family know her intentions."

After she finished speaking, she dug her nails into the table, thinking, "I remember the porcelain used in the Flower Festival was ordered from our shop, right?"

"Exactly."

"Pick someone smarter to send over." Xu Rongrong called Luo Shu to his side and gave detailed instructions.

"Yes."
