Rong Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as she was willing to say it out loud.

"I am responsible for everything."

With just four words, Tang Mumu felt that she was not afraid of any difficulties ahead. Suddenly, she felt that she had no backbone at all and sighed deeply again.

"Anything else that's troubling you?"

Tang Mumu looked at Rong Yan's face, and suddenly her eyes became a little resentful. "Why do you have such a beautiful face? If I hadn't become your princess and you had been hanging around me with this face every day, with my determination, I would never have given my heart to you so easily, and I would not have liked you so much that I would not care about anything else."

Tang Mumu suddenly became more interested as he spoke, and simply stood up and sat up cross-legged, "You say you are good-looking, but how can you also have a useful brain and strong martial arts? How great would it be if you were a useless waste like Prince Shun?"

"If you were like Prince Shun, I, Tang Mumu, would not like you. Maybe I would have returned to Taoyuan Valley by now. It's all because you're too nice. I don't want to go back to my own home. I feel overwhelmed when I think about this."

Rong Yan's eyes widened when he heard this. He had never heard such a fallacy before, but in front of Tang Mumu, he had to admit his mistake even if it was a fallacy.

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault, but you have to think about it. Only someone as good as me can be worthy of someone as good as you. Does that make you feel better?"

Tang Mumu curled her lips and said perfunctorily: "It's okay. I feel better now looking at your face."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I'm just praising you. If you weren't good-looking, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you, and I wouldn't have known that you had a smart head. Maybe I wouldn't have accompanied you to Lingnan. If we hadn't gone to Lingnan, we probably wouldn't be as loving as we are now."

"After all, it was only then that you realized that I, Tang Mumu, was such a capable person, and you didn't realize that only I was worthy of being your princess."

Rong Yan laughed when he heard this, and his tone was somewhat helpless, "So you are still praising yourself after all you said?"

"Shouldn't I be praised for being such a good person? You haven't praised me much, and you don't allow me to praise myself?"

"Mu Mu." Rong Yan suddenly held Tang Mu Mu's hand with a gentle voice. Tang Mu Mu shuddered and tried hard to hold back her laughter and did not pull her hand back.

"I'm not good at talking. You've been wronged by being with me. I will treat you better in the future. You have to believe me."

Tang Mumu couldn't bear it any longer and pulled back her hand. "After what happened just now, I found that I still like you more when you have a cold face. You suddenly become so gentle, which is not pleasing at all. Instead, it makes people feel a little uneasy."

"I think so too." Rong Yan smiled awkwardly. He was also frightened by the disgusting feeling in himself just now.

Tang Mumu covered her mouth and giggled, and heard Rong Yan's voice again, "Are you happy now?"

"Ayan, you are so nice."

Tang Mumu moved closer, and Rong Yan cooperated by stretching out his arm for her to rest her head on, and then he listened to her continue: "I was in such a bad temper just now, but not only did you not get angry, you even came over to comfort me. You are so nice to me."

"Are you satisfied just now?" Rong Yan found it funny. "You are too easy to satisfy."

"That's enough. People should know how to be content with what they have. It's enough that you treat me well. I will remember your kindness in my heart."

New Year's Day was three days away. Tang Mumu calculated the time when Rong Yan would return home from court, so she sent Tang Qingzhi off and ran to Zhujingxuan. Not finding anyone in the yard, Tang Mumu went straight to the study.

Hearing footsteps outside, Rong Yan looked up and saw Tang Mumu peeking into the study, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Now that I'm here, I don't have anything urgent to do. I just need to deal with some paperwork. Come in."

Upon hearing this, Tang Mumu immediately walked into the room happily, sat down on the chair next to Rong Yan, and ground ink for him without saying a word.

Rong Yan was doubtful, so he wanted to finish the things at hand quickly. After reading the last document, his eyes just moved to Tang Mumu, and she looked at him with a smile, baring her white teeth. Rong Yan felt something flashed in front of his eyes, and he felt as if his eyes were attacked.

"Did you get into any trouble outside? It's hard to talk about it."

Hearing this, Tang Mumu paused what she was doing. After realizing what Rong Yan meant, she glared at him with dissatisfaction on her face.

"I didn't expect that in your heart, I am just someone who gets into trouble outside and leaves a mess for you to clean up."

Rong Yan was afraid that she would be angry, so he quickly put down the document in his hand and explained to her: "That's not what I meant, really not."

"Then tell me what you mean?"

Tang Mumu simply stopped grinding the ink, folded her arms and looked at Rong Yan leisurely.

"I just feel that you have become more well-behaved and obedient recently. Even the housekeeper said that you rarely leave the house these days. You used to avoid this study whenever possible, but why do you start to go here on your own initiative now?"

Rong Yan asked what was in his mind. Ever since she got angry with him that night, Tang Mumu liked to stick to him more and more. Even when he went to the study to handle official business after court, Tang Mumu would often follow him.

Even though Rong Yan was a thick-skinned man, he could still sense the changes in Tang Mumu in the past few days.

Tang Mumu curled her lips, moved her chair almost next to Rong Yan's, put her arms around one of his arms, and rested her head on it.

"Aren't you happy that I'm well-behaved and obedient? I used to get into trouble outside all the time, and you cleaned up so many messes for me. Now that I've learned my lesson, you should be happy."

Tang Mumu rested her head on his arm. Rong Yan lowered his eyes and could only see the top of her black hair. After hearing her words, Rong Yan subconsciously frowned, and the next moment he held up Tang Mumu's head so that they were level with his eyes.

"Have you been hiding something from me lately?"

Tang Mumu blew a breath at Rong Yan and slapped his hand away, "Don't pinch my face like that, what if it gets deformed?"

"Tang Mumu." Rong Yan suddenly raised his voice and said in a serious tone, "Don't try to get away with it. Are you hiding something from me recently?"

"No." Tang Mumu answered without hesitation, "I just think you've been working too hard recently and I want to learn to be smarter and not cause trouble for you all the time. Otherwise, tell me, what could I be hiding from you?"

Rong Yan frowned and stared at Tang Mumu for a long while, half believing and half doubting, "Are you really hiding it from me?"

"I said no, so I said no. Now you don't believe me anymore?"

"That was not what I meant."

"Then don't just hold on to this matter. I just want to live a good life with you."

Fearing that Tang Mumu would be unhappy if he continued, Rong Yan quickly changed the subject, "Tomorrow we have time, is there any place you want to go? I'll go with you."

"You don't have to go to court?"

"In three days it will be New Year's Day. During these three days the court officials will not have to attend court."

Tang Mumu smiled immediately when she heard this. She didn't expect that there was such a humane system of morning leave.
