The welcoming banquet ended in a not very pleasant atmosphere.

Xiao Yan returned to the front yard where he lived, and Mu Xueyan followed Chu Xuanchi to the backyard.

When she arrived at the backyard, she did not go back to her own courtyard, but followed him all the way into the main courtyard where he lived.

After sitting down in the main hall, Mu Xueyan asked directly, "Does Brother Prince Yu like Miss Mo very much?"

"Zhao Zhao is my legitimate wife. You can either call her sister-in-law or princess. How can you call her Miss?"

Because of what happened at the banquet, Chu Xuanchi felt somewhat dissatisfied with Mu Xueyan, but due to her status, he couldn't show it.

Mu Xueyan's eyes were full of grievance, "Brother Yu Wang, you are mean to me? You have never been mean to me since I was a child. Do you not want Xue'er anymore after you get married?"

She didn't like Mo Zhaohua in her heart. Even though Chu Xuanchi still treated her the same way as before, she always felt that Mo Zhaohua was an eyesore.

"I am not being mean to you, I am just teaching you the rules. Shengjing City is different from Southern Xinjiang. I don't want you to be criticized and cause trouble."

Chu Xuanchi felt a headache when he saw Mu Xueyan. Her sudden arrival disrupted his plans and added another responsibility to his shoulders.

Mu Xueyan disagreed, "What does it matter in Brother Yu Wang's house? When we were in Southern Xinjiang before, didn't we say anything?"

Chu Xuanchi said sternly: "I just said that Shengjing City is different from Southern Xinjiang. This is the emperor's territory, so we need to be careful with our words and actions."

Mu Xueyan argued, "Brother Prince Yu has changed. After getting married, he no longer cares about Xue'er and has forgotten mother's last words."

Mo Zhaohua was not familiar with her and didn't want to get involved. He wanted Chu Xuanchi to solve it, but he couldn't bear it anymore after hearing this.

She couldn't say directly that there were many spies in the mansion, so she just spoke for Chu Xuanchi, "Miss Mu misunderstood, my husband really wants this for your own good."

Mu Xueyan shouted, "I am talking to Brother Yu Wang, what does it have to do with you? I don't want you to interfere, and you are not allowed to say anything about me in the future!"

Chu Xuanchi scolded, "A sister-in-law is like a mother. I will say this one last time. Zhao Zhao is your sister-in-law. If you are rude to her, you are rude to me."

Mu Xueyan was startled, her eyes instantly turned red, "You are mean to me again, you were not like this before, I will never talk to you again!"

She stood up angrily and ran out of the main hall. Her personal maid Tao Yao quickly followed her, followed by two young maids from the mansion.

Chu Xuanchi didn't want to chase her, nor could he, so he told Yueying, "Go and take a look. If you can persuade her, then do so. If you can't, then just keep an eye on her."

"Yes, master!" Yueying had originally followed Chu Xuanchi in Southern Xinjiang and was familiar with Mu Xueyan, so she was relatively easier to persuade.

Mo Zhaohua felt a little annoyed. "Husband, are all women in Southern Xinjiang like this, or is it just Miss Mu?"

Chu Xuanchi's eyes were dark. "The girl from Southern Xinjiang is just careless, not ignorant of the rules. It's my fault that I spoiled her."

He had no words to describe his pain towards Mu Xueyan. He had always just wanted to give her the best life and was unwilling to beat or scold her.

Mo Zhaohua was very worried. "It's best if Miss Mu doesn't leave the house recently. Let her adapt to life in Shengjing first, otherwise it will be easy for something to go wrong."

Chu Xuanchi nodded, "That's what I was planning too. I'm just afraid that she's gotten used to living in Southern Xinjiang and won't be able to sit still in the mansion, so she'll make a fuss and go out."

"Then send a few more people to follow. If there are not enough people, Yueying can go. I have Pearl and Amber in the mansion."

Mo Zhaohua would usually let Yueying follow him only when he went out, and all personal matters in the mansion were taken care of by Zhenzhu Amber.

Chu Xuanchi also agreed, "Okay, I will try my best to keep her in the mansion in the future and not let her go out to avoid getting into trouble."

The couple reached an agreement on Mu Xueyan's matter, Chu Xuanchi went to the study, and Mo Zhaohua began to practice his mental method.

Wuying asked in a low voice, "Master, does the princess know Miss Mu's life experience?"

Chu Xuanchi picked up a document and looked at it. "I don't plan to tell her for the time being. The more she knows, the worse it will be for her."

Wuying was worried, "If the princess knew, she would definitely feel pressured, but if she kept it a secret, would she blame the master in the future?"

"Given Zhao Zhao's personality, it shouldn't be that serious. If I really tell her, she will treat Xue Yan differently, which will arouse suspicion."

Ever since he learned that Mu Xueyan came to Beijing, Chu Xuanchi had been thinking about this issue, and finally decided to keep it secret from Mo Zhaohua for the time being.

Wuying also thought that what he said made sense, "Master is really thoughtful."

Chu Xuanchi ordered, "Let Yueying follow Xue'er for the next two days. Huaying lets her do whatever she wants. It's not suitable for her to continue following her for the time being."

Wuying looked puzzled, "This is a bit strange. Huaying has the coldest temper. She allowed her to be with the girl at the beginning, why is she so indulgent now?"

"Perhaps they have developed feelings for each other after spending so long together that they will naturally indulge themselves. Now that she is back, let her get to know the princess first."

Huaying was punished today and is resting in the house. She did not go to serve at the welcoming banquet. She has not seen Mo Zhaohua yet, but she can do so tomorrow.

Wuying responded, "Yes, Master."

***

At the beginning of Zi Shi.

Chu Xuanchi returned to the main courtyard to receive acupuncture, then took a bath, changed clothes and went to bed.

After turning off the lights, he hugged Mo Zhaohua in the dark and asked about his cultivation.

Since he became her master, he would ask her every few days, "Have you made any progress in your cultivation?"

Mo Zhaohua had already switched between several identities with ease. "Master, since I received your guidance, I have made rapid progress."

Chu Xuanchi vaguely felt something strange and said, "My disciple is truly a genius, and is no less talented than me."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." Mo Zhaohua was a little proud, "Once I break through the second level, I will be able to use it in acupuncture."

Chu Xuanchi has always had a question, "I wonder what kind of hermit wrote this medical book and mental method, and how could it be so powerful."

Mo Zhaohua felt guilty, "My uncle also got it by accident, and there is no way to find out where it came from, just like the bracelet that the master gave to his disciple."

Speaking of the bracelet, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to wear it when she was dressing up this morning, and only realized it when she was taking a shower just now.

Fortunately, this is in the mansion. If we encounter danger outside and cannot use it to protect ourselves, Chu Xuanchi’s efforts will be in vain.

Chu Xuanchi asked tentatively, "Zhao Zhao, you said that couples should be honest with each other. If I hide something from you, will you blame me?"

Although he had made up his mind about Mu Xueyan's background, he still wanted to hear Mo Zhaohua's thoughts so that he could have a better idea.

Mo Zhaohua thought for a moment and said, "Husbands and wives should be honest with each other, but they should also be given a certain degree of freedom, such as keeping a few small secrets."

Chu Xuanchi breathed a sigh of relief and apologized to her sincerely, "Zhao Zhao, I'm sorry, I do have a secret."

Mo Zhaohua nuzzled into his arms and said, "It's okay. I have it too. As long as we don't hurt each other, that's fine."
