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

Mu Rong's request was to ask Shu Qing to conceal it for him, which made the other party's eyes widen in surprise: "Master Marquis...do you want to hide this matter from the county owner?"

"Exactly." Mu Rong nodded.

"Why is this?" Shu Qing asked puzzledly. Anyone who is not blind can see the awkwardness between the Marquis and the county master. Now he wants to use himself as bait to draw out the cold poison in the county master. This is not right. Is this an opportunity to gain favor?

Thinking of this, he advised: "From what Shu has seen, there seems to be a quarrel between the county owner and the Marquis... If she knew that the Marquis wanted to save her regardless of his own life, she would definitely change her view of the Marquis. Yes."

"No need." Mu Rong smiled slightly, "Before finding the antidote, it is meaningless to let her know this. It is just to add trouble."

What he wants is for her to recover completely so that she can live a healthy life.

What he wants is that the tragedy of his previous life will never happen again.

Everything else is meaningless.

Looking at the complicated look in Mu Rong's eyes, Shu Qing understood that the entanglement between the Marquis and the county owner seemed to be more complicated than he imagined.

That's all, let them resolve matters between young people themselves.

At that moment, he agreed to Mu Rong's request: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, Shu will definitely not show any trace."

It was already late at night when I sent Shu Qing away, and the night wind in early spring was even colder.

Mu Yi had already finished delivering the news and came back. When he saw his Lord Marquis still standing in the courtyard against the cold wind, he advised him: "Master, it's getting late. Let's rest early."

Mu Rong shook his head: "I have nothing to do here, please go back first."

After saying that, Mu Rong turned around and returned to the study.

Looking at the lights in the room that had not been extinguished for a long time, Mu Yi opened his mouth, but did not try to persuade him any more. He himself did not leave, but stayed quietly outside the courtyard.

In the room, Mu Rong is meditating and adjusting his breath. Now he only has [-]% of his internal strength, and he is not completely sure that he can transfer all the cold poison to himself. Therefore, what he needs to do now is to restore his internal strength as soon as possible.

……

It was already three days later when Mu Rong came to Zhuxiang Yayuan again.

Xu Rongrong was feeding the rabbit, but this time he changed the pattern.

"Why did Rong Rong hide the hay?" Mu Rong watched for a long time and saw that the two little ones had to pull for a long time without eating a bite. He felt tired for them.

While hiding the fodder, Xu Rongrong looked back at Mu Rong with a smile: "We must let them know that if you want to have a full stomach, you have to pay some price."

"Whether it is Zhuxiang Yayuan or the Marquis Mansion, it is easy to raise these two rabbits, so there is no need to bother Rong Rong with them." Mu Rong said with a smile.

Xu Rongrong stopped arguing and just handed the bamboo basket in his hand to Wen Yao. He turned to look at Mu Rong and said, "Isn't the Marquis on duty today? Why are you here at this time?"

A ray of setting sun was shining on the girl's cheek, emitting a golden arc, making her look much gentler.

Mu Rong subconsciously raised the corner of his mouth: "I haven't been here for a few days. I took advantage of today's off-duty time to come over and have a look. I wonder if I can have a dinner."

Xu Rongrong glanced at him, and then frowned slightly, almost invisible: "Why doesn't the Hou Mansion give the Marquis a full meal now? We haven't seen him for a few days, and the Marquis seems to have lost weight?"

"...Maybe I've been a little busy recently." Mu Rong took a step back to cover up.

In the past few days, he had been busy with military affairs during the day and went back to his room to meditate and adjust his breath at night. He only took a few bites of each meal before giving up.

Seeing his unusual expression, Xu Rongrong asked suspiciously: "Are you just a little busy?"

"Naturally."

"Master Hou...could he have something to hide?" Xu Rongrong said again.

Mu Rong raised his head and looked at her: "Rong Rong, do you think I'm going to lie to you?"

There was a hint of teasing tenderness in her scorching eyes, and Xu Rongrong subconsciously looked away.

While the two were talking, Aunt Xiao came over: "County Master, Mrs. Lin is getting off the sedan in front of the door."

"Mrs. Lin?" Xu Rongrong didn't react for a moment, "Which Mrs. Lin is it?"

Aunt Xiao glanced at Weiyuan Hou, and then said, "She is the wife of Lin Shangshu of the Ministry of War."

Is she Lin Jiaoyue's mother?Xu Rongrong was slightly startled: "What is she doing here?"

Aunt Xiao shook her head: "Mrs. Lin only said that she had something to meet with the young lady, but she didn't mention anything...Does the young lady want to see her?"

Xu Rongrong has never interacted with the Lin family, and has never met Mrs. Lin. Which song is she singing today?

She turned to Mu Rong subconsciously.

The latter smiled slightly when he saw this, and only said: "I have a close relationship with Mrs. Lin. She comes from the Chu family in Gyeonggi Province, a century-old family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Chu family has always been known for loving the women in the family, so it seeks to marry a Chu family daughter. Can break through all the thresholds. Mrs. Lin is the second daughter of the eldest son, and her wealth is extraordinary. Therefore, even if Lin Zhihen proposed to marry as the number one scholar, Lao An of the Chu family still did not agree to the marriage. Lao An saw that The person who was chosen was Mr. Lu Zhilu, who was second in the rankings back then. However, Mrs. Lin, who had not yet left the cabinet, lost to the scheming Lin Zhihen. They met by chance under the deliberate arrangement of the other party, so she devoted her whole heart to Lin Shangshu and was determined to do it. The Chu family has no choice but to agree to this marriage."

"So there is such a thing?" Xu Rongrong was secretly surprised.

"I once heard my mother say that when she first married into the Lin family, Mrs. Lin often invited sisters from the family to visit the garden and have tea, and then she gradually closed herself up. Now, although she has a royal title, no matter she is a noble lady in the capital The invitation is still from the palace, if she can shirk it, she will not participate, so coming to see you today is quite surprising."

After hearing this, Xu Rongrong knew something in her mind: "She must be here for Lin Jiaoyue."

Mu Rong also nodded. He glanced at the girl beside him: "If Rong Rong doesn't want to see her, just send her away."

"Since you're already here, let's meet you." Xu Rongrong had almost no impression of Mrs. Lin in her previous life. She only knew that she had always lived in seclusion and was often absent from important events in the palace. She only showed up when the queen passed away and held a funeral ceremony in the harem. After entering the palace, he knelt for three days.

Everyone said that Lin Shangshu doted on his wife and couldn't bear the trouble of her going out to socialize. Only when Mu Rong talked about it did he realize that it was not that simple.

Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong arrived at the front hall, where Mrs. Lin was already sitting.

She was wearing a long purple dress, with a white fox cotton scarf and sleeves. Different from Mrs. Yipin's plump and plump face, the Mrs. Lin in front of her had a haggard face. She was not yet 40 years old, but now she looked quite old. state.

She sat quietly in the hall, lost in thought while looking at the bamboo branches sticking out of her head not far away. She didn't even notice the arrival of her master. It was the grandmother beside her who reminded her that she came back to her senses.

Seeing Mu Rong and Xu Rongrong come in together, she was a little surprised: "Master Hou... is here too."

There was even a hint of embarrassment and even fear in his movements.
