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

Chapter 59: Make Sure to Make This Marquis Look More Miserable

Because the imperial carriage did not set off until the afternoon, it was already evening when the ceremonial procession entered the capital.

By the time everyone returned home, it was already evening.

At this moment, the capital city was brightly lit, and the streets and alleys were filled with people returning home from work and shifts.

After a day's work, the people are smiling and preparing for dinner for the whole family to gather together.

"The people in the capital probably don't know what happened in Jiangnan yet." Wen Yao sighed.

Jiangnan is a granary. If the disaster is really severe, it will not only be the people of Jiangnan who will starve to death.

Remembering that there had been no famine after the flood in her previous life, Xu Rongrong offered comfort: "This news has just reached the court. I'm sure the ministers will find a solution."

In front of the Xu Mansion, Xu Chaoqian led everyone in the Mansion to welcome them at the door.

The Xu family has a county lady! He was filled with pride.

Xu Liu behind him had a blank expression on her face. If Xu Chaoqian hadn't shown off his authority as the head of the family, she wouldn't have come to greet that little bitch.

Xu Yaoyao stood next to Xu Liushi. Although it did not show on his face, the palms under his clothes had been scratched by his fingernails.

The county lady's procession came slowly, and everyone in the Xu residence concentrated and held their breath.

As soon as Xu Rongrong's carriage came to a complete stop, she heard someone outside shouting, "Princess Ping'an, please return home."

The voice actually came from Xu Chaoqian himself.

Wen Yao also heard it. She covered her mouth and smiled, "Miss, you are now the highest-ranking person in our family. Even the master came out to greet you personally."

The position of county lady is of the second rank.

Naturally, he was far higher than a sixth-rank court councilor. Xu Rongrong was not surprised by Xu Chaoqian's behavior.

She smoothed out the wrinkles on her body and smiled faintly, "It's just a virtual level, without any real power."

"But..." She changed the subject, "If you continue to bully these people from now on, that will be enough."

Because of her experiences in her previous life, she has always had a good appearance. At this moment, she stepped down from the carriage with a graceful demeanor, looking quite elegant and dignified like a member of the royal family.

As if she had just seen Xu Chaoqian, who had been bowing and saluting, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Father, you must not do this. Although your daughter has been granted the title of County Lady by the Emperor's grace, you and I, father and daughter, must still follow family etiquette within the palace."

Xu Chaoqian grinned, "County Lady... Sister Rong is right."

The father and daughter walked in together, followed closely by Luo Shu and Wen Yao.

As for Xu Liu and Xu Yaoyao, who were still paying their respects, Xu Rongrong passed by without even a glance. The abundant rewards were unloaded from the carriage at the back and delivered one by one into the mansion.

Xu Liu's eyes turned red with anger: "Let's see how long you can keep being so arrogant!"

……

Dinner was served in Wutong Courtyard.

When Xu Rongrong came back, she found that the place had completely changed.

The tables and chairs that were originally a bit shabby have now been replaced with high-quality rosewood.

Luo Shu whispered in Wen Yao's ear, "This is what the master got from the mistress's yard. I heard that the mistress cried all night."

The bed was replaced with one made of agarwood, and hung with a green silk curtain that was as hazy as smoke.

"This is what Madam prepared for the Third Miss. It hasn't been used yet and was moved directly from the warehouse."

The dressing table in front of the window looked brand new, with jade plum blossoms carved on it, and it looked extremely exquisite.

"This is in the second young lady's room."

There is a whole lotus screen in the middle of the room, which makes the room look very elegant.

"This is in the master's study."

There were also many small ornaments, footstools, and candlesticks, which made Xu Rongrong feel unfamiliar with her room.

She examined it carefully and said with a smile, "Father, thank you for your concern. The nobles in the palace seem to share your feelings and have rewarded your daughter with many practical boudoir items..."

Before she could finish her words, she caught a glimpse of the joy that flashed across Xu Yaoyao's face.

What? You want to take it back? Impossible.

Xu Rongrong continued, "But these are just gifts from your father, so I will accept them."

Xu Yaoyao: "..." Xu Chaoqian smiled and nodded: "Of course, of course!"

Xu Liu, standing by, felt resentful. She said bitterly, "In order to buy things for Sister Rong's room, we've emptied out the rooms of Second Sister and Third Sister these past two days. Since Sister Rong has a reward, why not give some of the rewards that she doesn't need right now to the two sisters?"

It was a reward from the palace, it’s a good thing.

After hearing what she said, Xu Rongrong smiled and replied, "Madam is right. I'll have my second sister go to the storeroom to pick some out. If you find anything you like, you can take it directly."

Xu Liu was a little surprised that she agreed so readily.

But Xu Rongrong continued, "Although those items have been awarded to me, most of them can only be used by county ladies. If others see them, it will damage my father's reputation. Therefore, my second sister should hide them well after taking them back."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Chaoqian scolded Xu Liushi, "Nonsense! Can anyone use Sister Rong's things? Put away your little tricks!"

Xu Liu remained silent and embarrassed, feeling even more angry.

After the incident, the Xu family had their reunion dinner in Wutong Courtyard, with a harmonious attitude on the surface and a discord on the heart on the inside.

……

And the other side.

After Mu Rong returned to the capital, he did not go back to Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but went directly to Mu's house next to Xu Mansion.

He returned to the room and changed his clothes with Mu Yi's help.

Today's wound finally stopped bleeding and the pain was much lessened, which made him feel much more relaxed.

His hair was untied and hung down behind his head.

The white undershirt is slightly open, giving off a sense of laziness.

He sat on the couch, playing with the delicate porcelain bottle of ointment, and asked, "How is it over there?"

Mu Yi replied, "The eldest lady is now a county lady. Based on the character of Master Xu..., he will definitely hold her in high esteem. Your Majesty, there is no need to worry."

"Yeah." Mu Rong nodded. "Although Xu Chaoqian has a bad character, he does have some good sense."

Xu Chaoqian is the Marquis's father-in-law. Although Mu Yi looks down on him, he doesn't dare to judge him in front of his master.

So he changed the subject: "The Marquis's complexion is much better now. The eldest lady is really amazing. She has seen such a significant improvement after only using this medicine twice."

Mu Rong smiled broadly: "Of course, she is Rongrong."

Mu Yi: "..."

"What time is it now?" Mu Rong suddenly asked.

"It's just after the hour of Xu." "Well...it's still early."

"???" Before Mu Yi could react, he saw his master tear open his shirt and tear off the bandage with force.

The wound immediately split open, and although the blood that gushed out was far less shocking than that of the previous two days, such a sudden change was still scary enough.

Mu Yi was stunned: "My Lord, what are you doing..."

"Go tell them next door." Mu Rong seemed oblivious to the pain and smiled faintly. "Remember, make sure you make this sound as miserable as possible."

Mu Yi again: "..."

His job is so difficult!
