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

Chapter 332 The one you love is right beside you

While Mu Rong was talking to Mu Yi, hurried footsteps were heard outside the study.

The study room of Xinghui Hall is not allowed to be entered by anyone except Mu Yi, Mu Ai and other personal guards. It was obvious that the footsteps today were not from his personal guards.

"What's the matter?" Mu Rong asked in a deep voice.

"Yes... the doorman came up to report that Princess Ping'an is visiting. I didn't dare to delay and came to ask for instructions from the Marquis." The person outside the door replied.

Mu Yi was slightly startled when he heard this: "Is... the eldest lady here?"

At the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion, Mu Rong and the others were accustomed to calling Xu Rongrong "Young Miss," while the rest of the servants addressed her by her official title... Princess Ping'an or even Princess Xian. So, upon hearing the news of Xu Rongrong's visit, Mu Yi momentarily thought he'd misheard. After all, the eldest young lady's visits to the mansion were few and far between.

"Did she come with anyone else? Or was she alone?" Mu Rong asked.

"In reply to the Marquis, the Princess of Ping County came alone, and... apart from the coachman, she did not bring anyone else with her."

Noble ladies in the capital always have to bring maids with them when they travel. Xu Rongrong's behavior today made Mu Yi a little confused.

Mu Rong was also a little surprised at first, but he soon understood. He smiled slightly, stood up and took out a small box from a nearby bookshelf. "I think she came here for this matter."

Mu Yi didn't understand: "Master?"

Mu Rong looked at him and said, "I'll change first. Please ask her to sit in the hall first."

"Yes."

Mu Rong spread out his palm, looked at his slightly red palm, and shook his head helplessly.

Although his palms were flushed at this moment, it was difficult to conceal the icy coldness emanating from his palms.

He had just finished meditating and regulating his breathing, and not only had his energy not yet recovered, but the chill all over his body was even stronger than usual...

Mu Rong took out a small medicine bottle and played with it in his hand - it contained the pills that Shu Qing left for him, which could temporarily suppress the release of the cold poison.

But Shu Qing also warned him that this medicine should not be taken multiple times in a row. Because of the matter of Prince Ning these days, he would take one pill before meeting Xu Rongrong every time. I'm afraid he can't take it today.

But... she came here with great difficulty, how could he avoid her?

Thinking of this, he unscrewed the bottle and swallowed another pill.

I didn't expect that a man of great military achievements and fame would need pills to get close to his beloved girl...

For a long time to come, this will be Mu Rong's lingering resentment.

……

Xu Rongrong indeed came to the Marquis' Mansion alone. Following the instructions of his own Marquis, Mu Yi invited her into the flower hall opposite Xinghui Hall.

But she stopped before entering the flower hall.

There was only a small long flower bed between Xinghui Hall where Mu Rong lived and the flower hall. The flower bed had just been trimmed and it felt like a lot of work was in need of reconstruction. This made Xu Rongrong feel an indescribable sour feeling in her heart.

In her previous life, she was not allowed to enter Xinghui Hall. Whenever she wanted to see Mu Rong, she would hide in this lush flower garden and secretly watch his every move in Xinghui Hall.

Sometimes when she saw that he had noticed something, she would shrink into the flower garden and remain motionless, only when her legs and feet felt numb, would she secretly stick her head out to observe him. But by then, he was no longer in the Xinghui Hall, so she had no choice but to rub her sore legs and feet and quietly slip away.

Thinking about how humble she was in her previous life, she effortlessly got everything she had dreamed of in her previous life in this life.

I have to say, it’s really a twist of fate.

Seeing her standing in front of the flower hall, looking at something for a long time, Mu Yi asked, "Miss, do you think there's anything wrong?"

Xu Rongrong finally came to her senses. She smiled and said, "The Marquis' Mansion is meticulously cared for by Yi Changshi, so naturally there's nothing wrong. I'm just curious. It's the season when flowers are in full bloom, so why does this flower garden look a little withered? It doesn't seem like the right time to prune the branches and leaves."

If the flower garden in her previous life was as withered as it is now, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to hide...

"Miss, you're absolutely right." Mu Yi smiled. "I believe you've heard that the Marquis doesn't like tending to flowers and plants, so there's no dedicated gardener in the mansion. Originally, Mr. Xu was in charge of the flower gardens here and the flower beds in the backyard, but now he's gone to the farm in the southern suburbs to take care of the medicinal garden, so he can't take care of this place anymore. Seeing that the flowers and plants in the mansion are not well tended, I went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find a gardener to take care of them, which delayed us for some time."

The Mr. Xu that Mu Yi was referring to was Xu Xiangnan, who had previously worked at the Marquis' Mansion until Mu Rong bought a house next to the Xu Mansion last year...

In order to be able to enter and leave Xu's mansion freely, Mu Rong took advantage of Xu Chaoqian's tendency to show off his elegance and refinement, broke through the wall between the two mansions, built a small garden in it, and asked Xu Xiangnan to take care of it.

Although Xu Xiangnan was not a servant of the Marquis' Mansion, he knew that Mu Rong was fond of Xu Rongrong. Besides, he was used to a free and unrestrained life. It didn't matter where he lived, as long as there were flowers and plants for him to take care of, he was happy to go there.

It was not until Xu Rongrong left the Xu Mansion and went to the farm in the southern suburbs that Xu Xiangnan really didn't want to face that rough man Xu Chaoqian, so he followed her to the farm in the southern suburbs and continued to take care of the medicine garden for Xu Rongrong.

He has been busy for a long time and rarely even comes to the capital, let alone returns to the Marquis' Mansion to take care of the flower garden.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "I didn't expect that I was the one who made the mistake. However... the Marquis' Mansion has so many servants. Could it be that Mr. Xu has been in the Marquis' Mansion for so many years and hasn't trained even one or two disciples?"

In her previous life, Mr. Xu was very diligent in teaching her how to grow herbs.

Mu Yi replied, "Miss, you don't know, Mr. Xu doesn't like to socialize with others. Even in the Marquis' Mansion, he rarely makes friends with anyone. Not to mention training one or two disciples, he doesn't even want to stand by and give a few random pointers."

"Is that so?" Mu Yi's explanation surprised Xu Rongrong greatly.

In her impression, Mr. Xu was not such a cold person. In her previous life, he took the initiative to help her after seeing her repeatedly failing to grow herbs. Why was his personality so different from Mu Yi's description?

"However, that's not always the case." Mu Yi added, "Unless the Marquis asks him for advice, Mr. Xu always responds to the Marquis's requests."

Xu Rongrong was stunned again upon hearing this. Indeed, in this life, Mr. Xu went to the Xu Mansion to take care of the garden at Mu Rong's request.

In my previous life... he taught me how to grow herbs. Could it be that he was also Mu Rong...

No, not possible.

At that time, Mu Rong kept her thousands of miles away, so how could he ask someone to teach her how to grow herbs?

As she was thinking, Mu Rong had already walked out of Xinghui Hall.

Because he was in his own house, Mu Rong was only wearing a long green gown and a jade hairpin casually placed on his bun. He looked more elegant and handsome, and less murderous than usual.

He looked at Xu Rongrong opposite him, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and all he saw was tenderness.

But the little girl seemed unaware of all this and continued to ponder until he stood beside her.

"If Rongrong likes this flower garden, it would be better for her to move into the mansion earlier. Then she can watch it every day in the Xinghui Hall." Xu Rongrong was slightly startled and turned her head to meet those slightly teasing eyes.

"If Rongrong is anxious, I will immediately go to the palace and ask His Majesty to issue an edict allowing us to get married half a month earlier, okay?"

Xu Rongrong's cheeks flushed slightly: "My Lord, please don't talk nonsense. I'm not anxious at all..."

"Okay, it's not Rongrong who is anxious, it's me who is anxious to marry Rongrong back."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

She subconsciously glared at Mu Rong, but to Mu Rong, who was filled with joy at the moment, this glare had no killing power at all.

After all, the sun is shining brightly now, and the person who has been waiting for a long time is standing next to him.

There is nothing happier than this.
