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

Chapter 304 How did it become like this?

Mu Rong's suspicions have now been verified - everything that happened today was not a coincidence, but someone did it deliberately.

The Queen was also involved in this.

When he raised his head again, there was already a master and a servant in the hall.

Princess Lingxi, and Helme who was suffering from internal injuries.

As the two of them saluted the queen, Mu Rong stood aside silently.

At this point, he didn't want to leave.

The Queen's attention was completely focused on the master and servant. She smiled and asked Princess Lingxi:

"Why are you here at this hour today? Are you thinking about my dinner?"

The queen's smile was warm and gentle, exactly the same as when she spoke to Mu Rong just now, as if in her eyes, these younger generations were her relatives.

Princess Lingxi, a woman from the Northern Frontier, was already beautiful, and her flirtatious demeanor was playful and innocent. "Your Majesty, you're teasing me again... Ever since I entered the palace, I've been favored by Your Majesty and Your Majesty, with everything I need, including food, clothing, and daily necessities. How could I possibly beg for favors from Your Majesty?"

"When did I ever say you were asking for money?" the Queen laughed. "Dinner is almost ready, why did you come here now?"

"Isn't it because I heard that Marquis Weiyuan is here?" As she spoke, Princess Lingxi glanced at Mu Rong standing beside her and curtsied with a smile. "Your Majesty saved the life of my personal maid, so naturally I have to thank you in person."

"Oh? Is this true?" The Queen seemed to be hearing it for the first time, "When did Rong Ge'er rescue that person?" Mu Rong sneered in his heart, but there was no emotion on his face.

He just briefly mentioned what happened in Shaohua Temple.

"Your Majesty, saving people without asking for anything in return is a sign of noble character, but how could you make such a dangerous situation seem so lighthearted?" Princess Lingxi raised her hand and pointed at Helmei. "You tell me."

"Yes." Heermei knelt before the queen and recounted everything that had happened today in detail. She described in great detail how Weiyuan Hou had carried her up and, despite others' dissuasion, sent her back to the capital for medical treatment. Finally, she stood up and fell to her knees before Mu Rong. "If it weren't for the Marquis, I would have turned to dust beneath the cliff. I will remember everything today for the rest of my life."

Mu Rong looked down at her, and Hermei's head almost touched the tip of his shoe. Such a humble posture was really... How could they determine that she would like such a humble person?

Seeing that Mu Rong didn't answer, Princess Lingxi became anxious. She said as if jokingly, "This girl has been absent-minded since she came back. She said she would repay the Marquis' kindness in the next life by tying a knot with a grass ring... But the women of our Northern Frontier are always straightforward. If a favor is done, we will repay it on the spot! I heard that most of the servants in the Marquis's mansion are men. I think men are rough and not as careful as women. Why not take Hermione back with you and let her take care of the Marquis? That way, she can fulfill her wish of repaying the favor."

"You are such a fool, girl." Before Mu Rong could say anything, the Queen scolded her, "Brother Rong is about to marry Ping An into the mansion. How can you take in a woman so carelessly at this time?"

Princess Lingxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood me. I simply wished to fulfill Helmei's gratitude by allowing her to serve the Marquis as a maid. Knowing her status, I dared not entertain any other aspirations. Furthermore, the Marquis and the County Lady are getting married soon, so there are naturally matters at home that require the care of the women. Helmei has always been by my side, and she has learned the etiquette of the Great Zhou. I think she will be able to handle the situation without error. Furthermore, she is only a maid, and the County Lady, proud of her status, will naturally not make a fuss about her. Meanwhile, the Marquis will now have someone around to care for him and ask about his well-being. It's the best of both worlds."

The queen seemed to be thinking about it. After a moment, she looked at Mu Rong and asked, "What do you think, Rong'er?" Princess Lingxi also looked at Mu Rong. Thinking of the low-quality makeup on Mu Rong's body, she was willing to take a gamble.

I bet Mu Rong likes this kind of woman who is humble, submissive and can be bullied by others.

During her time in the Great Zhou, she had heard that many men from powerful families actually favored women of low status. The reason for this was that the principal wife was too rigid and boring, and liked to use her status as the principal wife to control others. Unlike those humble concubines or mistresses, if they wanted to survive, they had to do their utmost to cling to their masters, which in turn gave those men great interest.

And Mu Rong may also be such a man.

What's more, after Herme came back, he told her that Mu Rong even ignored the jealous Princess Ping'an for Herme. So... today's matter will definitely be accomplished!

Once Hermei enters the Marquis' Mansion and serves Mu Rong well, what will the Princess Ping'an do in the future?

Only then would she be able to take advantage of the situation. All her calculations now only awaited Mu Rong's response.

Mu Rong… smiled faintly: “The princess is indeed very thoughtful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the hall looked happy.

Hermi raised her head, her eyes red with excitement, as if being allowed to serve the Marquis as a maid was a great blessing...

"There are indeed few people managing the Marquis's residence, and this young lady is a loyal servant to her master." Mu Rong raised his hand to signal Hermione to stand, then turned to the Queen. "After all, this young lady is willing to go to Shaohua Temple to pray for Prince An and Princess An simply because she once served them in the Eastern Palace. It's truly rare."

Before he finished speaking, Princess Lingxi and Herme's expressions changed drastically.

Oops!

As expected, the smile on the queen's face froze: "Have you ever served in the Eastern Palace?"

Hermei was speechless. Mu Rong continued with a smile, "How could Your Majesty not know? This woman once served Prince An in the Eastern Palace, and Princess An even argued with him over her... But I never expected her to be such a kind person. Not only did she not harbor any resentment, but she even went to Shaohua Temple to pray for Princess An's illness, leading to what happened today."

The Queen dug her nails into the armrests of the chair.

This pair of slaves!

Lingxi just said that she was in love with Mu Rong and asked her for help.

She also had her own plans, so she agreed to Lingxi's request and let her send her personal maid to seduce Mu Rong...

Unexpectedly, they had also plotted against her Ao Ge'er!

The queen's eyes turned cold in an instant, and this coldness made Hermione tremble all over.

She looked at the tall man standing beside her in disbelief.

It shouldn't be...

This shouldn't be the case... The Marquis treated her so tenderly...

What went wrong?

Her thoughts were in a whirlwind, and the Queen's cold voice echoed overhead: "It seems there are still things in the Eastern Palace that even I don't know about... Prince An and his family have moved to Anzhou, and only Princess An remains in the capital due to illness. Since you once served Prince An, why did you return to the Princess's side?"
