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

Chapter 233 The Gift She Prepared

Mu Rong did not appear in Xinghui Hall for the entire next day.

His abnormal behavior naturally aroused Luo Shu's curiosity.

She was busy cleaning the rabbit hive where the two little ones lived. The two little white rabbits had grown very fast in the Marquis' Mansion these days. Xu Rongrong was afraid that they would not have enough space to move around, so she asked someone to build a breathable double-layer nest for them with wood and cotton cloth.

It's so comfortable for the two little ones to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in there.

It’s just a little troublesome to move and pack up.

As Luo Shu sorted the hay in the rabbit hutch, he asked Wen Yao, "We're moving out tomorrow. How come the Marquis doesn't seem to know and hasn't come to check on us all day?"

In the past, when there was nothing to do in Xinghui Hall, Marquis Weiyuan would like to come three times a day. Even if he was busy with court affairs and had no time during the day, he would definitely come to take a look at it at night.

Why is it so strange today?

Wen Yao didn't understand what was going on either. She only knew that the Marquis looked a little depressed when he left Xinghui Hall last night. But when she saw that her young lady looked calm, she didn't think much about it. It was not until today that she realized something was wrong.

"Is the Marquis reluctant to let the young lady move away? Is he angry with her because of that?" Luo Shu guessed.

"We didn't just talk about moving today. Besides, wasn't Zhuxiang Yayuan arranged by the Marquis?" Wen Yao said as he folded the clothes in his hands and put them into the box. "Don't speculate about the masters' affairs. Have you completed what the young lady asked you to do yesterday?"

Luo Shu nodded: "I personally delivered the message, and my brother personally went to do it. Do you think there is anything wrong with that?"

"Your brother is certainly reliable, but you might not be." Wen Yao teased her with a smile. "Okay, then starting tomorrow, it's your turn to go out on errands."

"I can't do that. Who told me I don't have a good brother?"

The two girls were laughing and playing in the room, while Xu Rongrong was standing in the corridor wrapped in a cloak, quietly watching the moon rise in the sky.

She was admiring the moon in the yard, and someone was watching her outside.

Mu Rong stood quietly in the distance, looking at Xu Rongrong's peaceful and beautiful profile, without moving for a long time.

"Master, do you want to go in and take a look?" Mu Yi asked from the side.

Mu Rong shook his head. "She might not be willing to see me right now. Go over and take a look. If they need anything, you can make it up to them. I'll go sit in the study."

After saying that, he moved his feet and left quietly.

Seeing this, Mu Yi sighed helplessly.

What happened? How could the two people who had been gradually becoming closer seem to have returned to their previous state? ...

Mu Wu had been waiting in the study room long ago. When he saw his master come in, he hurriedly said, "Master, everything has been arranged for tomorrow's banquet."

"Yeah." Mu Rong responded sullenly.

Seeing the Marquis's lack of interest, Mu Wu realized his own master might not have gotten along with the County Lady yet, so he shared his latest news: "Luo Chen has cultivated several capable subordinates lately. I heard that the porcelain for tomorrow's Flower Festival banquet was purchased from the County Lady's shop. Luo Chen ordered those capable subordinates to deliver it personally. We chatted for a long time yesterday, and it seems... the County Lady has made arrangements for tomorrow's Flower Festival as well."

Sure enough, whenever the county princess was mentioned, the marquis would definitely change.

Mu Rong frowned slightly:

Rongrong...does she want to take action against Lin Jiaoyue herself?

He glanced at Mu Wu and said, "In that case, be careful and take care of them tomorrow. Don't let them ruin their plans."

"Yes." Mu Wu quickly responded, and then asked, "Master, I have noticed that Luo Chen has been making a lot of moves recently. Do we need to send a few of our people to his side? This will help protect the county lord's property, and also allow us to find out what's going on there."

Mu Rong said in a deep voice, "No need. There's no need to interfere in the affairs of the county lady. You just need to protect the safety of those around her."

"Yes." Mu Wu said no more.

……

Late at night, everyone in the mansion fell into dreams.

Mu Rong finally went to Xinghui Hall. He had to see her to feel at ease.

The wick of the lamp in the room had bent and the flame was gradually becoming dim.

Xu Rongrong was nestled in the quilt, holding a hot water bottle in her arms, sleeping soundly. Seeing this, Mu Rong was a little annoyed: How heartless!

Because of her sudden rejection last night, he was listless the whole day and couldn't sleep at night.

But she was not affected at all and was sleeping so soundly that she didn't even notice him coming to her side.

As the poison faded, a hint of redness returned to her cheeks, and the warmth in the room made her look even softer.

Mu Rong sighed, wishing he could hold her in his arms, kiss her hard, or even beat her up before he would let her go.

We are moving tomorrow, so the room has been packed up and seems a bit empty.

But there were a few things placed upside down on the low table where she used to read every day.

Mu Rong walked over and saw bottles and jars.

It was obvious at a glance that she was mixing herbs before going to bed.

His little girl, it hasn't been long since she got married and she's already been unable to sit still.

There was a small purple medicine bottle that was very delicate. He picked it up and played with it for a while. The herbs in the bottle seemed to be unfamiliar to him, so he didn't know how to use them, so he put it back on the table.

He returned to the bed, quietly looking at Xu Rongrong's sleeping face, muttering to himself:

No matter what, May is our wedding date, and we will be locked together forever in this life.

He leaned over, lightly kissed Xu Rongrong on the forehead, and left quietly.

The room was quiet, as if no one had ever been there.

……

The next day was the busiest time of the year in the capital of Great Zhou.

Unmarried young noblemen and women can attend the Flower Festival banquet alone.

Although maids are indispensable, without the elders watching over them, the young boys and girls in their prime years feel much more at ease. At least, they dare to look at the person they like boldly.

Early in the morning, several major streets in the capital were bustling with people and filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Jianghan Street was also normal, but in front of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, there were several carriages piled with boxes and crates, as if someone was traveling.

Madam Lu came to pick up Xu Rongrong early in the morning. With her presence in person, no one dared to peek in front of the Marquis's mansion.

Mu Rong stood outside the courtyard of Xinghui Hall. People were coming and going inside, but all he could see was Xu Rongrong.

The young girl was counting boxes and baskets of books when she heard Wen Yao joking, "Miss, the Marquis's eyes are glued to you."

Xu Rongrong looked up when she heard this and met Mu Rong's eyes.

She hesitated for a moment, then walked straight over. "Why doesn't the Marquis come in?" Xu Rongrong looked at him.

"Hmm..." Mu Rong touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I'm afraid I'll disturb you guys cleaning up."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Everything has been packed. We'll be able to set off soon after we fill up the last car."

"I've been so grateful to you for taking care of me these days, my Lord. I don't have much to offer you right now, but I have one item that I think might be of some use to you, my Lord."

Mu Rong was slightly startled: "What is it?"

Xu Rongrong took out a purple porcelain bottle from her bag. This was clearly the one Mu Rong had seen last night.

She handed the medicine bottle over with her fair fingers: "This is the hemostatic ointment I made with Sanguisorba officinalis and Yu Hongxin. Luo Chen has already tested it outside, and the hemostatic effect is much better than before."

Mu Rong murmured, "You did this for me?"
