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

Chapter 35: The Sacred Order Must Not Be Disobeyed

The dignified Weiyuan Marquis, Mu Rong, a first-rank military marquis of the Zhou Dynasty, actually moved next door to Xu's mansion.

Moreover, meeting in such a situation was something Xu Rongrong had not expected.

Xu Chaoqian was also stunned after seeing who it was: "Marquis... Marquis?"

Mu Rong was wearing a light-colored casual suit embroidered with green bamboo and pine trees, and a green toad jade pendant, a symbol of the royal family, hung on his ink-black belt.

He walked forward and leaned slightly sideways. "I just moved in and was planning to visit you after I was settled in. I didn't expect Lord Xu to come here first."

Xu Chaoqian said politely, "Of course, of course! This house has been empty for two years. Now that someone new has moved in, it's only natural for us to pay them a visit. But... I wonder why the Marquis moved here?"

"This Marquis likes quietness." When Mu Rong answered, he looked at Xu Rongrong with a burning gaze and a smile in his eyes.

Looking at the vendors coming and going in front of the door and the bustling market not far away, Xu Rongrong felt annoyed.

"Since the Marquis lives here, it is inconvenient for me to visit him. I will take my leave first." After saying this, Xu Rongrong bowed and left.

She and Mu Rong were already engaged, so logically they couldn't meet for too long before the wedding, so this excuse made sense.

Mu Rong looked at her departing back, his eyes gradually becoming deep.

Xu Chaoqian, who was standing aside, followed Mu Rong's gaze... and sighed in his heart: Sister Rong is really not simple, this tactic of playing hard to get is really brilliant!

After returning home, I got to know Xu Rongrong, and my heart couldn't calm down for a long time.

This man, whom she tried to avoid, was becoming increasingly difficult for her to understand. According to the developments in his previous life, Mu Rong and Lin Jiaoyue's bond was becoming increasingly deep, but upon closer examination, his recent actions were very different from those of his previous life.

But has he changed, or has he always been like this?

In their previous life, they had been engaged for one year and had lived in the Marquis' Mansion for five years. The number of times they had been alone together could be counted on one hand.

The few times we met, he was always cold and indifferent.

She had never seen how he and Lin Jiaoyue got along, but she had overheard some of their conversations when Mu Yi and Mu Ai were chatting. She thought it should be sweet, occasionally with some joking and teasing, and even a little childish.

Recalling the Qixi Festival banquet after her rebirth, and the accusations made by Lin Jiaoyue when she stopped the carriage after Mu Rong asked His Majesty to grant her marriage, it was not difficult for her to guess that his initiative to propose marriage in this life was just to make her angry with Lin Jiaoyue.

But what happens after that?

The inexplicable kiss under the flower wall of Xu Mansion, the life-and-death rescue at the foot of Shaohua Mountain, these had nothing to do with Lin Jiaoyue, but he did it so naturally.

There was also the intermittent teasing at that time.

Could it be... that he is also a reborn person?

But if that was the case, why didn't he tell her clearly, or even give her a hint?

Moreover, he had no feelings for me in my past life, so why did he ask to be my legal wife in this life? Was it just because I saved his life?

But before she died, she had already made it clear that she hoped to never see him again in this life or the next. If he was truly grateful for saving her life, he would not force her to go against her wishes.

What's more, with Mu Rong's iron-blooded character on the battlefield, he would not destroy the happiness of two people just to repay a favor.

But all these things...

She was thinking so much that she had a headache. Since her rebirth, pressing her forehead to relieve the headache had become her habit.

Seeing this, Wen Yao calmly brought a cup of hot tea. She knew that her young lady was in trouble again.

So she handed over a roll of drawings, which was the latest layout map of the streets and shops in the capital sent by Luo Chen.

Sure enough, after seeing this, Xu Rongrong put all those annoying things behind her.

She had used the events of Shaohua Nunnery to seize Xu Liushi's housekeeper power, simply to make it easier for her to come and go. Since her goal had been achieved, she naturally wouldn't waste any time.

After calling Luo Shu over, she pointed to the area of ​​the Eight Alleys in the capital and said, "Please ask your brother to check around and see if there are any medicine shops or jade shops for sale in that area. If so, please keep an eye out for me."

Luo Shu Wuyou responded: "Miss, do you want to open a shop?"

Xu Rongrong nodded slightly: "I do have this plan."

Luo Shu clapped his hands and said, "The medicine that young lady gave me last time was simply amazing. My back injury healed in just one use! Young lady, if you have such ability, you can open a clinic." Xu Rongrong laughed and said, "How can it be so easy? Whether it's a pharmacy or a clinic, it needs someone with a deep understanding of pharmacology and medical principles to run it. I've only developed some ointments, but I'm still a long way from being a master of medicine."

She was now quite proficient in herbs, but her understanding of medicine was superficial. However, she knew that in two months, someone who would later be known as "the most outstanding doctor among the five great doctors in the capital" would arrive. All her preparations were for that person.

Just as he finished giving the order, he heard footsteps approaching from outside the courtyard:

"Sister Rong, come quickly. The Marquis has something to tell you." Xu Chaoqian walked in with great interest.

Behind him was Mu Rong, whom he had just met half an hour ago.

Xu Rongrong was speechless and stepped forward: "What is the matter, Lord Marquis?"

Without waiting for Mu Rong to speak, Xu Chaoqian loudly ordered:

"It's a rare occasion for the Marquis to come, so we must treat him well."

"Luo Shu, come with me to the front and get some good tea!" "Wen Yao, go to the kitchen and watch over the cook and ask her to make some delicious snacks."

After saying that, he urged again: "Hurry up!"

He was determined to get rid of the people around Xu Rongrong.

Wen Yao and Luo Shu did not move until Xu Rongrong nodded slightly, then they left with Xu Chaoqian.

In Wutong Courtyard, only Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong were left.

"We meet again." Mu Rong looked at her, his eyes as bright as before.

"My Lord, what is it that you need to come here in person to give instructions?" Xu Rongrong emphasized the word "in person".

Mu Rong smiled. "Your Majesty has been feeling up lately, wanting to take advantage of the cool autumn weather and go hunting. Ten days from now, you will lead your troops to the southern suburbs for a hunt. Imperial family members and military officers of the second rank and above will be accompanying you. I invite Your Majesty to join us. Are you willing?"

Xu Rongrong frowned: "What if I say I don't want to?" "The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed."

Xu Rongrong: "..."
