Chapter 174: Peach Blossom Luck(1/2)
When Mu Jinghong was about to avoid Chu Ji and was about to hang him, Chu Ji suddenly pulled the person forward, and the force was so strong that he almost pulled her into his arms.
"you……"
“Tell me.”
Chu Qi lowered his smile and pressed his hand against her wrist. She lay on her side so stiffly and looked at him.
"The prince has been lucky recently."
“…”
Chu Qi's eyes were surprised, as if he had heard ridiculous words, and laughter burst out from his throat.
With his hand loosened, Mu Jinghong hurriedly retreated, guarding him vigilantly.
Chu Qi raised his hand to sort out the hem of his clothes and said carelessly: "I will not take a concubine in the near future, so you can't see it."
The smile in his eyes was covered with a hint of joke, and Mu Jinghong seemed to have not seen it, and he stuck it into the corner.
Chu Qi suddenly looked serious and said solemnly: "The emperor has a lot of opinions about me recently, and he has just blamed me directly in the court. If nothing unexpected happens, next month, I should propose to return to my fiefdom."
So fast!
Mu Jinghong calculated the time, but it was only more than half a month.
Chu Yu mentioned it before, and Chu Ji should have taken the initiative to propose to return to his fiefdom. It has been time to leave for so long.
Staying down further, I'm afraid there will be some gossip.
Mu Jinghong was calm and did not fluctuate any of his words.
Chu Qi looked at her expression and added, "Take this time, you should also meet your mother-in-law more often."
Mu Jinghong nodded.
It's time to meet more often.
The two of them returned to the mansion at the same time, and Madam Liu took some books to the main house. Seeing that Chu Ji was also there, she mentioned: "Prince, the wine shop in the mansion must be handed over to the princess to manage together."
Before, others have been in charge of it, but they only occasionally reconciled the accounts and did not really care about it. They must be a little sloppy and greedy for a lot of money from it.
The fiefdom is far away from Kyoto City, and there is no way to control it. After a while, the shops in Kyoto City have changed.
Under the banner of Prince Yu’s Mansion, there are also people who make trouble everywhere, but their prince turned a blind eye to the point of being "kind".
But now it’s different. With the housekeeper’s princess at home, Madam Liu must also mention it, otherwise the prince will have to use those things to guard against the princess.
The servants in the mansion knew that the princess and Gu Taiwei's family had close relationships, and there were some festivals between their prince and Gu Taiwei.
Unfortunately, Empress Gu of the current dynasty was a member of the Gu family.
I didn't see any grudges between the emperor and the prince on the surface, but it doesn't mean there is no one.
When they were princes, they were competitors. At this point in the royal development, only their princes were qualified to threaten the throne. To put it bluntly, one day their princes thought about usurping the throne, and the possibility of success was extremely high.
For this, the emperor had to guard against their prince.
Similarly.
Their prince also has to guard against whether the princess will betray her.
Chu Qi picked up one of the account books, looked at it, and said indifferently: "Mum's words are direct. If I don't agree, I will seem to be guarding against the princess."
While talking, he also glanced at Mu Jinghong.
Mama Liu said expressionlessly: "I am also thinking about the prince."
"I am very pleased to know that Madam Liu is loyal!"
"I thank the prince for trust."
"No need," Mu Jinghong said: "I am not interested in these things, so it's up to Mama Liu to take care of them."
"The princess said this inappropriately. The old slave is always a slave. You are the master. The housekeeper is the mistress in the family. The male protagonist is the outside and the female protagonist is the inside. This is an eternal truth." Madam Liu looked earnest and taught her, which made Chu Qi sit down and smile happily.
Liu Mama continued: "Princess, you can't just put these things aside and ignore them just by saying that you are interested in. You also ask the princess to have the idea of being the master of the family. It's not that the old slave talks too much. The prince has been living a miserable life alone for many years, and no one is in charge of them. These things are all done at will, which makes the people feel that the prince has no prestige and there are frequent chaos below..."
The king, who lived a cold and bitter life, took the hot dishes at hand and took a sip, pretending that he didn't hear it.
Mu Jinghong leaned against the chair and naturally took the teapot, poured himself a cup of warm tea, took a sip, and did not react at all to what Madam Liu had to do to Chu Qi.
"Madam Liu, I have some care in my hands. There are many things. The prince said earlier that I would ask you to help me with it, so I didn't ask."
Mama Liu suddenly became unhappy and secretly glanced at her demon prince, sighing: "I am always a slave, and those people didn't listen to me too much, so I asked the princess to come forward."
"Let the prince stand in front of them, no matter what kind of person they are, keep it, and it works."
Chu Qi smiled and said, "The princess is teasing me."
"Nothing happens."
"Since that's the case, I will take back my previous words. If there is anything, it depends on the princess to decide." Chu Qi regretted shamelessly.
Mu Jinghong took another sip of tea and said slowly: "The prince is not afraid. I will take these to do his business."
"Aren't you not interested in this? What are you doing?" Chu Qi asked with a smile.
Mu Jinghong's black eyes moved slightly and stopped talking.
Chu Qi said: "Put the account book here."
Madam Liu then stepped out.
"You will take control of this family from now on."
Chu Qi made a decision for Mu Jinghong, stood up and pointed to the account book, "I will plan for the future. Now, you are my princess, and these are what you should do."
"I'm weak."
"...Your body is indeed weaker," Chu Qi said: "I will ask Mama Liu to help."
"The prince is leisurely, why not come by yourself?"
Chu Qi looked at her with a smile, "The princess didn't hear what Mama Liu said just now? The male lead is outside and the female lead is inside. This is the princess's duty."
Shaking his hands, Chu Qi left the main house casually.
Mu Jinghong's jade hand was placed on the account book, his expression clear and dark.
The next day.
Mu Jinghong returned to Mu Mansion.
As soon as he stepped into the door of Mu Mansion, he saw Mu Yuanjia with red eyes coming out and the son-in-law of the Zhang family who was with him.
When Mu Yuanjia saw someone, a hint of hatred appeared in her eyes. Perhaps she thought of her identity and immediately stopped it.
The eldest son-in-law of the Zhang family bowed to Mu Jinghong very politely, and Mu Yuanjia asked for the gift reluctantly.
"When will the fifth sister come back?"
Mu Jinghong asked.
But Mu Yuanjia gritted her teeth and turned her head, not planning to reply to her words.
The fifth brother-in-law around him said, "After returning to Mu's mansion that day, we never left. We rented a house nearby and stayed in Kyoto City for the time being with Aunt Zhang."
So that's the case. Mu Jinghong has never asked about this before, so he doesn't know that Mu Yuanjia and his brother-in-law have temporarily lived there.
If you know, you have to go over and take a look.
Since last time she heard that Mu Changhuan was hanged, Mu Jinghong did not pay attention to it anymore. She also did not return to Mu's mansion after the incident.
Today is the first time I have returned home alone.
"I'm sorry about the eighth sister."
"You don't have to..." Fake kindness.
Mu Yuanjia was about to speak terrible words, but when she thought of her husband around her, she still held back.
The fifth brother-in-law looked behind her and said, "My mother-in-law has not left the house yet. When she enters the house, she can still see it."
Because Gu is his legitimate mother, the eldest son-in-law of the Zhang family has to call him "Mother-in-law."
Mu Jinghong nodded to the fifth brother-in-law, walked over and entered the door, and met before Gu left the side door.
Princess Qi suddenly returned to the house. Manager Zhang from Mu's house immediately reported to Lou.
Mu Jinghong had to go to Lou's side first, and then sent Biyu around him to Yafang's residence and talked to Gu's side.
There were many people sitting in Jingxin, all of whom came to chat with Lou.
Lu's recent visit to Jingxin has become more and more diligent, as if something has never happened.
What Mu Xianglan did seemed to have nothing to do with her mother's business.
In daily dressing, I also became much more charming.
Mu Jinghong came in and saw the Lu family dressed in a very gorgeous manner, and he almost couldn't recognize him.
It is no wonder that Lou is used to the Lu family.
The Lu family has been persuaded to promote Mu Deyuan recently, and Mu Deyuan has also relaxed and met with people from the Lu family.
