The next day.

Chu Xuanchi went to Fangfei Garden.

He would go over to teach Mu Xueyan martial arts every now and then.

By the end of the day, she was practicing swordplay in the yard, looking heroic and her sword waving in the wind.

He asked Mu Xueyan to stop and rest for a while, and she immediately sheathed her sword and came over happily.

There is an osmanthus tree in the yard, which is now in full bloom. There is a rattan chair under the tree, and Mu Xueyan likes to sit on it the most.

Chu Xuanchi sat beside the rattan chair and asked softly, "Xue'er, did you have fun yesterday? Do you want to attend the banquet again in the future?"

Mu Xueyan took the tea handed to her by Tao Yao, took a sip, and her cherry lips pouted instantly when she heard the words.

"Of course I do. It's better than staying in the mansion, especially since my brother Prince Yu often checks on Xue'er's kung fu."

Every time Chu Xuanchi came over, in addition to teaching her swordsmanship, he would also check to see if she had made any progress after practice.

However, he was not here today to instruct or check her kung fu, but because of his participation in the Chrysanthemum Banquet yesterday.

He wanted to know what she thought of his brothers, "Xue'er, do you know how to get along with my brothers?"

Mu Xueyan thought for a moment and said, "Stay away from Prince Jin. Although Prince Rui looks good, Xue'er will not be fooled by him."

"Where is Prince Qi?" This is the person Chu Xuanchi cares about the most. He least wants his people to be used by Chu Xuanhan.

"He is gentle, modest and polite. He doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. He is closer to Brother Yuwang than to others."

Chu Xuanhan first saw them at Prince Rui's Mansion yesterday, and they later went to appreciate flowers together. Mu Xueyan had a very good impression of him.

Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanchi told her, "Xue'er, the one you should be most wary of in the future is him."

"Ah? Why?" Mu Xueyan thought Chu Xuanhan was pretty good, "Is he a bad guy too?"

"He is indeed not a good person. Xue'er, you must remember to be vigilant whenever you face him."

Since Chu Xuanchi trusted Mo Zhaohua, he was certain that Chu Xuanhan had evil intentions, and he was naturally more wary of him than anyone else.

Mu Xueyan's expression also became serious, "Okay, Xue'er will keep it in mind."

"Xue'er's performance yesterday made the princess very happy. She suggested to me that I take you out to play after Prince Qi's wedding."

Mo Zhaohua never said such a thing, but Chu Xuanchi wanted to take Mu Xueyan out for a walk again, so he took the opportunity to win her favor.

Mu Xueyan curled her lips, "Xue'er didn't do this for her, but to give face to Brother Yu Wang. After all, she is related to the reputation of the Yu Wang Mansion."

Chu Xuanchi was a little helpless, "Can't we get along like we did yesterday? The princess is gentle, kind and considerate, and she raised you as a legitimate daughter."

What Mu Xueyan disliked the most was him praising Mo Zhaohua. Her face drooped, "Xue'er knows. I'll try my best in the future."

Chu Xuanchi really dotes on her, "Okay, I won't force you. I believe that in time, you will discover the goodness of the princess yourself."

***

Time flies, and a few days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Xuanchi was still thinking about taking his third medicinal bath, and he urgently needed to find an excuse.

During acupuncture tonight, he asked Mo Zhaohua, "Zhao Zhao, has anyone in the Fuguo Mansion celebrated a birthday recently?"

Mo Zhaohua gave him acupuncture skillfully, and responded, "No, are you thinking of an excuse to go over there, husband?"

"Yes, although we are relatives, it is inconvenient to visit too often, and I don't want to trouble my mother-in-law to leave the house again."

Ever since Chu Xuanchi learned that he might regain some consciousness after three medicinal baths, he has been thinking about going to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion again.

"I have a plan, but I need your cooperation. I will go and cause trouble for Miss Mu, and you will have a quarrel with me."

Mo Zhaohua had just started talking when Chu Xuanchi knew her plan and took over the conversation with a smile.

"Then Zhao Zhao ran back to her parents' home in anger. Did I follow you to comfort you, but in fact I took the opportunity to take a medicinal bath?"

Mo Zhaohua took the silver needle handed over by Wuying and said, "Yes, that's what I plan to do. What do you think, my husband?"

Chu Xuanchi still had a smile on his face, but he refused very straightforwardly, "No!"

Mo Zhaohua was puzzled. "Why is this happening? My husband, do you have a better way? Time waits for no one."

Chu Xuanchi explained: "Women are notorious for being jealous. I don't want to disregard my reputation just for the sake of taking a medicinal bath."

Mo Zhaohua didn't care at all, "My husband, do you think I care about these things? The only person I care about now is my husband."

Chu Xuanchi became more determined, "Zhao Zhao cares about me, so I can't just ignore you, otherwise, am I still a man?"

Mo Zhaohua's tone softened, and he wanted to persuade him, "Husband..."

Chu Xuanchi raised the corner of his mouth, "However, Zhao Zhao's method is indeed very good."

Mo Zhaohua's eyes suddenly lit up, as bright as the stars in the sky, "So my husband is willing to cooperate with me?"

Chu Xuanchi's eyes sparkled, "I don't want to, but Zhao Zhao can cooperate with me, and I will be the jealous person."

Since any quarrel between the couple would give Mo Zhaohua a reason to return to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion, why couldn't it be his fault?

"My reputation is a reputation, but your husband's reputation is not? Someone is secretly worried that they can't find any evidence against your husband."

"It's different. Women's jealousy is a bad reputation, but men's jealousy is just a joke. It's not a big deal."

"Princess, my master is stubborn and always sticks to his word. He also loves you, so I dare to ask you to take a step back."

Wuying knew that Chu Xuanchi would see the effects if he took another medicinal bath, and she had been looking forward to it, so she took the initiative to persuade Mo Zhaohua.

In front of his subordinates, Mo Zhaohua would try his best to give Chu Xuanchi enough face, "How can I cooperate? Do you think I can ask Wuying to act?"

If Chu Xuanchi wants to be jealous, there must be a man first. In the entire Prince Yu's Mansion, only Wuying is inferior to the two of them.

"Wuying is not suitable, but there happens to be a suitable person in the mansion right now. It is better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it tomorrow."

Inspired by Mo Zhaohua, Chu Xuanchi came up with a plan. The first person he thought of was Chu Xuanhan, and that was also the most suitable candidate.

But when he thought of Mo Zhaohua's attitude towards Chu Xuanhan, he couldn't bear to let her down, so he had to settle for the second best and chose Xiao Yan.

"My husband wants to use Young Master Xiao?" Mo Zhaohua thought the same as he did and also thought of Chu Xuanhan, but he said he was in the mansion.

The only outsider man in the mansion is Xiao Yan. If even Wuying is not suitable among their own people, then naturally no one else will be suitable.

Chu Xuanchi said lovingly, "There is no better candidate than Lao Liu, but how can I bear to let Zhao Zhao face him again?"

Mo Zhaohua agreed, "Thank you for your kindness, my husband. I will proceed according to your plan tomorrow and let you bear the bad reputation."

Chu Xuanchi wanted to protect his reputation. If she made excuses, it would seem too hypocritical, and she didn't want to be that kind of person.
