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

Chapter 37 She Wants to Find Out the Truth

After being pushed away by Xu Rongrong, Mu Rong's arms lost some of the girl's body warmth.

He raised his hand and touched the tip of his nose to hide his disappointment.

He picked up his pen and wrote down the completed measurement in the book. When he spoke again, there was a hint of apology: "I am clumsy and made Miss Xu uncomfortable."

When he said this, his eyes were frank, as if the hug just now was an accident and not intentional.

Xu Rongrong turned her head away and stopped looking at him. The atmosphere became even more awkward than before.

Although he was reluctant to leave, Mu Rong walked out of the room helplessly because staying any longer would only increase resentment.

The owner of the cloth shop had been waiting downstairs. When he saw him come out, he hurried upstairs to measure Miss Xu's size. He thought to himself: If everyone was like Weiyuan Hou, then the cloth shop business would be very difficult.

After Mu Rong left the cloth shop, Mu Ai drove the carriage over.

Seeing his master's expression, he knew without asking that Miss Xu was not in a good mood again.

Hey, what's the point? Mu Ai thought to himself.

"Let's go to the other courtyard." Mu Rong said these three words after he sat firmly in the car.

Mu Ai swung the reins and set off, thinking: I'm afraid the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion will be overgrown with weeds in the future!

Inside the carriage, Mu Rong took out a well-read book: "Seventy-two Ways to Chase a Wife"

He turned to page 12, "Tailoring," which read: "A touch that is neither too close nor too distant can convey both emotion and meaning. It's hazy like observing flowers in the fog, and it's teasing like lighting a fire across the river."

Mu Rong snorted coldly, tore off the page, and crushed it into powder in his hands. ...

After Xu Rongrong came out of Yangji Cloth Shop, she did not stop and took Luo Shu directly back home.

She was always uneasy along the way.

The wedding date between her and Mu Rong has not been set, and the marriage is not yet a done deal.

If Mu Rong was like in his previous life and was only engaged to her out of helplessness, there would still be room for improvement.

But if Mu Rong was also reborn, and if he still wanted to marry her with the memories of two lives, it would be difficult for her to escape.

Thinking about the various arrangements she had made, she absolutely did not want to be trapped next to that man, but how could she find out whether he was the same as her without arousing his suspicion?

Xu Rongrong pressed her forehead.

After returning to her room, she opened the notebook she used for notes and read through it page by page until late at night. The next morning, Xu, the housekeeper in charge of purchasing affairs for the mansion, was waiting for a reply at the second gate.

Ever since Manager Liu had his leg broken, the position of purchasing manager in the mansion has been vacant.

After Xu Rongrong took over the power of housekeeper, she directly promoted Manager Xu to the position.

Xu Liu controlled the inner chambers of the Xu Mansion and often used her earnings to lend out at high interest rates to fund her private treasury, leaving the Xu Mansion's accounts often in deficit. Therefore, Xu Rongrong's seizure of her housekeeping power was merely a temporary measure; sooner or later, she would have to return it, leaving Xu Liu to fill the gap herself.

Therefore, it doesn't matter to her who is promoted.

But for Butler Xu, this was a great favor! Therefore, no matter how big or small the matter was, he would report it to the eldest lady in detail.

Xu Rongrong looked at the list of items, the accounts on it were clear and understandable, so she told him to use the money at his disposal.

As Butler Xu left, Xu Rongrong's mind flashed with a figure. She stood up and called Luo Shu over. "Ask your brother to inquire about a man named Duan Chuanchao in the taverns in the capital. Hurry!"

Seeing her serious face, Luo Shu didn't dare to delay. He took the sign and left.

Xu Rongrong's mood could not calm down for a long time.

She knew that among the current emperor's children, Mu Rong and the third prince Wu Tianxiao were the closest.

But five years later, the third prince suddenly rebelled. The emperor ordered Mu Rong to lead the troops to suppress the rebellion. Anyone who resisted would be killed without mercy!

After three months of fighting, Mu Rong brought the bloodstained crown of the prince to the palace. Afterwards, he was drunk for ten days.

After waking up again, he became even more silent and refused to see anyone except Lin Jiaoyue.

Not only that, he would vomit his favorite Yunhua Cake as soon as he ate it. No one knew why, but they only knew that there was no Yunhua Cake in the Marquis' Mansion from then on.

The culprit who instigated the Third Prince to suddenly launch an uprising was a counselor named Duan Yunchao.

After his failure and death, Duan Yunchao's body was chopped into meat paste by Mu Rong with a sword.

The emperor ordered the extermination of his nine clans, but no matter how the investigation went on, this man seemed like an orphan, without any trace of any relatives. All they knew was that his accent showed that he was from the suburbs of Beijing. After coming to Beijing, he learned the art of brewing wine in a tavern in the capital. Because he was quite talented, he soon set up his own business and became a private winemaker.

No one knows more news.

But Xu Rongrong knew very well: the reason this man was so mysterious was because he had always used an alias. Duan Chuanchao was his true identity.

While Xu Rongrong was searching for medicinal herbs in the mountains outside Beijing, she encountered an old woman in a deserted area visiting her son's grave. Perhaps due to grief or exhaustion, she was found unconscious in front of the tomb known as "Duan Chuanchao's Tomb."

When Xu Rongrong sent the old woman home, she saw the worn-out earthenware jars and wine-making equipment in her house.

The old woman cried and complained about her only son, saying that he had been smart and clever since he was a child, and had always wanted to go to the capital to make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, instead of making any money, he was involved in a major case and lost his life. It was a pity for her, a lonely widow, and she had no one to see her off to the end of her life.

Xu Rongrong saw that her appearance was 70% similar to Duan Yunchao's portrait, and immediately understood what was going on.

But because she lived a miserable life and seemed unaware of her son's rebellion, Xu Rongrong did not mention it to anyone else.

But now think about it, Duan Chuanchao should not have entered the Third Prince's Palace at this time. He was just an unknown apprentice in a tavern, or a private wine waiter.

Wouldn't it be perfect to use him to test Mu Rong?

If Mu Rong really came back from the dead, how could she bear to see the culprit who had harmed the Third Prince? So, she spent the whole day in a state of nervousness and panic.

At ten o'clock in the morning, news came from Luo Chen.

Found it! This guy was previously an apprentice at Rongji Wine Shop. Last year, he rented a large courtyard in South City and started his own wine shop. Because of his excellent winemaking skills and lower prices than wine shops, many restaurants in Beijing placed orders with him, even Fanlou.

So, so good...

Xu Rongrong made up her mind.
