Chapter 24 Xu Liushi starts to have evil ideas again

After a long time, he gently let go.

The girl felt a little exhausted and leaned weakly against the wall, glaring angrily, her chest heaving violently, obviously she was very angry.

Mu Rong felt a little regretful. He originally wanted to come to Xu Mansion to support her and explain to her the matter between him and Lin Jiaoyue, but who knew it would turn out like this.

He raised his hand awkwardly, wanting to smooth her messy hair, but she waved him away.

The backs of their hands collided, making a crisp "pa" sound.

Mu Rong held her hand and asked, "Did it hurt?"

Xu Rongrong: "..."

If she hadn't been well-educated in two lifetimes, she really wanted to ask the man in front of her: Are you a slut?

"My Lord, what exactly is it about me that attracts you? I can change it."

Mu Rong finally smoothed her hair and smiled, "I just like you like this."

It’s really cheap!

Xu Rongrong regained some strength, pushed him away, ran quickly into Wutong Courtyard, and quickly bolted the door.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Mu Rong standing on the wall: "I'm afraid this small gate can't stop me."

This almost made Xu Rongrong lose her mind in anger. She picked up a stone and threw it at him.

middle!

When he came out of Xu's house, Mu Rong was in high spirits.

He was playing with a stone in his hand, his chest wrinkling slightly.

Mu Ai was confused: "Master, what happened?" Mu Rong raised his lips and said: "My wife beat me."

Looking at the light-colored lip balm that had not yet been wiped off his lips, Mu Ai felt contempt in his heart: It was obvious that he had done something offensive to a girl, and was beaten as a lecher.

Mu Rong glanced back at the gate of the Xu Mansion, as if to explain, but also as if to sigh: "However, I would rather make her angry than see her treat me with such a cold heart."

……

The sixth day of August is the birthday of the late Empress Dowager.

The current emperor's mother died when he was young, and the late emperor was devoted to seeking the Tao, so he was raised by the Empress Dowager.

Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager passed away in the second year after he ascended the throne.

The emperor was very filial and would observe a vegetarian diet for ten days around the sixth day of the eighth lunar month every year.

The emperor set an example himself, and the nobles of the Great Zhou Dynasty naturally paid special attention to it. Every August, Shaohua Temple in the suburbs of Beijing was crowded with people. In previous years, the Xu family was not qualified to go to Shaohua Temple to pay homage.

If Wu Jue's family wanted to book a room in Shao Hua Temple at this time, they would need at least five hundred taels of incense money.

Xu Liu was absolutely unwilling to pay any money.

But this year, because Xu Rongrong was granted marriage, Xu Chaoqian had to fight for it for the sake of face.

Xu Rongrong originally thought that Xu Liu would refuse, but who would have thought that she would agree without hesitation.

After taking a quick look at the date, Xu Liu set the fourth day of August. She would take Xu Rongrong and Xu Yaoyao to Shaohua Temple to pray for the late Empress Dowager.

In Wutong Courtyard, Luo Shu was packing Xu Rongrong's luggage while muttering, "We have to be alert. There's nothing good going on over there."

Wen Yao hit her with the embroidery frame and said, "You run outside every day, and now you've become wild! Listen to what you say, don't pollute my ears." Luo Shu stuck out her tongue and said, "My brother said that girls who are too gentle are easy to be bullied. If they have a sharp tongue, others won't dare to look down on them."

"You learn everything from your brother. I think he is the one who is crooked and is causing you to be crooked."

"Yes, yes, yes, my brother is not a good person. Don't eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake he bought for you in the future."

"Girl, it's obvious that you asked him to buy it because you wanted to eat it."

"Yes, yes, yes. Then stop drooling."

"You... I won't tear you apart..."

The two girls played around for a while, and the room was filled with laughter.

In Bai Cui Courtyard, Xu Liushi warned: "During the two days when you burn incense at the temple, you must always be alert."

Xu Yaoyao's heart skipped a beat: "What is Mother planning?"

"Your father is foolish. He thinks that if his daughter marries into the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion, he can ascend to heaven overnight. But he doesn't think about how the Xu family treated Xu Rongrong in the past. Now that she has just been engaged, Min Jie'er has been banished to the manor. If she really marries there, she will definitely instigate the Marquis to kill us!"

"But Father was already furious last time. If he knew you weren't going to give up, I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Even if he finds out, can he still divorce me? Even if it costs me my life, I will peel off Xu Rongrong's skin. What's more, I have made all the preparations this time. Your father can only curse at me for a few words to satisfy his craving."

Seeing that his mother had a well-thought-out plan, Xu Yaoyao naturally didn't try to persuade her any further.

Regardless, whether this matter succeeds or not has nothing to do with her...

Soon, the day for paying homage to Shaohua Temple arrived, and early in the morning three carriages filed out of the Xu Mansion.

Xu Rongrong took Luo Shu and sat in the middle car.

Luo Shu thought of the cold look Madam Xu Liu had given him before he boarded the carriage, and he felt a lingering fear: "Miss, is Madam planning to take advantage of this pilgrimage to attack you?"

Xu Rongrong was flipping through a travelogue about the customs and practices of Fuhai. Hearing this, she put the book down and said with a smile, "She spent a full thousand silver coins on this trip to Shaohua Temple. If she says she's not planning something big, I don't believe it."

"But...what is Madam going to do?"

"The tricks in the harem are either to kill me or to destroy my reputation."

Luo Shu nodded: "No wonder the young lady asked my brother to go ahead and make arrangements."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother. Let's deal with it head-on." Xu Rongrong let out a breath and picked up the book again.
