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

Mu Rong raised his head and looked at the little girl opposite with clear eyes and a smile. He naturally knew that she had seen through the matter, so there was no need to hide it anymore.

He nodded: "As expected, I couldn't hide it from you."

Mu Rong said, smiling bitterly in his heart: If this happens soon, he will not let Luo Xiao and his daughter go to Zhuxiang Yayuan.

Originally it was just to make her and the people around her ignore her abnormality, but unexpectedly it dug another hole for herself...

He had no choice but to explain: "I didn't intend to hide the matter about Aunt Xiao."

Xu Rongrong didn't comment, but kept staring at him with her bright eyes.

Mu Rong continued: "It was a secret thing to go south to run errands for the prince that day, so when I heard that you rescued Luo Xiao's mother and daughter in Puyang County and took them with you, I felt that this was too much of a coincidence and worried about them. There would be ulterior motives. Later, I heard that they were coming to Beijing to visit relatives, so I ordered Mu Yi to investigate their details in detail. "

"So you found out about Aunt Xiao then?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"Exactly." Mu Rong responded, "The Xiao family is a small surname, and they live in different places. Mu Yi spent a lot of time during the investigation. Later, it was found that the Luo Xiao family has two clan sisters in the capital. Although one of them works as an errand in the capital, But the low rank has nothing to do with the party struggle, and the other one is Zheng Xiao... After finding out that their identities were intact, Mu Yi mentioned Zheng Xiao's predicament in his letter, so I asked him to wait for an opportunity to kill Zheng Xiao. The husband and wife were placed in the village."

"I just didn't expect that she would win your favor in Zhuangzi." Mu Rong arranged for Zheng Xiao to go to Zhuxiang Yayuan to manage affairs for Xu Rongrong, just because Xu Rongrong had few trustworthy people in Beijing, and Zheng Xiao was one of them. .But now it seems that he had ulterior motives for this arrangement, so he had to continue to explain, "I have no intention of interfering in your affairs, let alone placing spies around you."

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong smiled brightly: "I know."

"I..." Mu Rong wanted to continue explaining, but was stunned by Xu Rongrong's three words.

He looked at Xu Rongrong blankly.

His little girl's eyebrows were crooked and she said, "The Marquis has planted spies in the houses of powerful people in the capital to help the third prince seize the position of the East Palace. But I, a little daughter of a sixth-rank official, have no chance of being the county head." It’s just a name, it’s nothing to do with the Marquis, so why are you wasting your time on me?”

Mu Rong: "..."

These words made him not know how to answer for a moment.

"Rong Rong really thinks so?" He didn't believe it.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Does it matter to Mr. Hou what I think? Between me and Mr. Hou, no matter in terms of status, reputation, or strength, Mr. Hou can easily crush me, so what does Mr. Hou want to do or is willing to do?" Whatever you do, just follow your heart, without considering my feelings."

"That's not what I meant."

"Is it important?" Xu Rongrong looked at Mu Rong and said slowly, "So... the Marquis felt that I didn't want to go back to live in the Xu Mansion, so he tried to let me live in Zhuxiang Yayuan; the Marquis felt that the Luo Xiao family was a threat to me. , so he directly asked people to investigate her identity; the Marquis felt that Luo Xiao's identity was not a problem, and he felt that Aunt Xiao was very useful, so he asked her to be my housekeeper."

"Master Hou considers everything for me, and hides everything from me... I want to know if Master Hou has other things like the Xiao sisters, but he hid them because he thought he was thinking about me. Did I do it?”

Mu Rong was speechless.

Right now... there's one thing.

Naturally, this matter must not be told to her.

So, he raised his head to meet Xu Rongrong's eyes: "There is nothing else to do."

Xu Rongrong looked at him quietly, trying to find out the truth from his eyes.

After a long time, she smiled and said: "Then I believe what the Marquis said."

Mu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

He asked: "In Rong Rong's eyes, is this matter so important?"

"Of course." Xu Rongrong nodded, "In the eyes of others, it is my blessing that the Marquis is willing to marry me. But for me, if I want to spend the next few decades with the Marquis hand in hand, I only hope that you The two of us can respect each other... Although I am only a woman, I also want to persevere. I don't want to be a drag on you. If you continue to act like this in the future, it will only make me feel worthless."

After Xu Rongrong finished speaking, Mu Rong's face was expressionless.

Because all his thoughts were immersed in the phrase "the next few decades".

These five words were enough to make his heart beat wildly!

It turned out that his little girl was also starting to think about their future life.

Seeing the strange light shining in Mu Rong's eyes, Xu Rongrong was a little surprised: "Master Hou?"

Mu Rong quickly came to his senses: "What Rong Rong said is that from now on I will no longer act arbitrarily and make my own decisions. I will definitely discuss everything I encounter with Rong Rong."

He answered very quickly, but he felt unspeakably guilty.

Fortunately, he hid it well and did not let Xu Rongrong see the clues.

"So good."

Fan Lou's tea was good, and he was in a particularly happy mood today, so Mu Rong used two more pastries.

Xu Rongrong was a little confused: "I remember that Mr. Hou doesn't seem to like sweets?"

Mu Rong looked at her with a smile: "It depends on who you share it with. If I can sit and drink tea with Rong Rong every day, I can finish all the dishes even if there are several dishes."

this person...

Xu Rongrong's cheeks were slightly red: "Even if it doesn't work, it is inappropriate for you and me to meet today. If I didn't want to find out the truth about Aunt Xiao, I would definitely not invite Mr. Hou here."

"I am particularly happy for Rong Rong's invitation today." Mu Rong said seriously, "I just hope that whether it is before or after the marriage, if Rong Rong has any doubts about me, she will make it clear to me, just like Rong Rong Rong hopes that you and I will treat each other as equals and respect each other, and I also hope that there will be no hard feelings between me and Rong Rong."

In the previous life, they had such a life-and-death ending. In addition to his ungrateful neglect, it was also caused by the deep knot between the two.

I just hope it will never be like this again in this life.

Mu Rong's words seemed to bring back some memories of Xu Rongrong, and her bright eyes crashed into Mu Rong's eyes.

After a while, he nodded.

This is also a...promise between them.

……

On the way back to Zhuxiang Yayuan, Xu Rongrong raised the curtains and stared out the window.

In order to avoid suspicion, she did not let Mu Rong see him off.

And after the conversation just now, she also believed that Mu Rong would no longer take matters into his own hands and want to protect each other secretly.

She leaned against the window, and the evening breeze lifted her hair, bringing out a faint fragrance.

Wen Yao sat quietly in the corner of the carriage, watching his young lady in a trance.

In the afternoon at Fan Mansion, she did not follow her inside, so she didn't know what her young lady and the Marquis had talked about. But now that she saw the young lady, it seemed that her worries were still unresolved.

So, when the carriage turned the corner and Xu Rongrong was swaying slightly, she stretched out her hand to support her, and then whispered softly: "Miss, do you still want to leave the Marquis?"
