Chapter 171: Return Day
Mo Qingzi quickly waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No, no, my brother only interacted with her for official business. We never had any other interactions in private."
Chu Qianyu chuckled, thinking that she looked very cute, so she joked, "Why are you so flustered? I feel a little guilty when I see you."
Mo Qingzi's face flushed red after hearing this, and she began to stutter nervously: "Sister-in-law...sister-in-law...I...I just said nonsense...You...you must not take it to heart...and create...a rift with my brother..."
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding you." Chu Qianyu patted her back to comfort her.
The two of them arrived at the hall at this time, and Chu Qianyu took them and sat down together.
"Sister-in-law, I...I really said something nonsense at the moment. Sister-in-law, please don't think too much about it." Mo Qingzi looked at her with some guilt.
"Oh, why are you still so serious? I've already said it just now. I was joking with you. And I know what your elder brother is like."
After this contact, Chu Qianyu already had a rough idea of her character.
Mo Qingzi looked at her sister-in-law's sincere eyes and finally felt slightly relieved.
Chu Qianyu changed the subject and said, "Didn't you want me to tell you earlier how I met your eldest brother and how he married me? Can I tell you now?"
Mo Qingzi immediately became interested after hearing this. She stared at Chu Qianyu with sparkling eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me about it. I'm curious about how this stupid brother suddenly became smart."
Chu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, then repeated to Mo Qingzi what she had said earlier to the old princess.
After listening to this, Mo Qingzi and the old princess were in completely different states.
He was filled with righteous indignation, his eyes were wide open, and he even seemed to be standing up for Chu Qianyu.
"Sister-in-law, you mean you admire big brother, but big brother..."
Chu Qianyu sighed and said with some sadness: "That's right. But I believe that things will get better over time. After all, I have already married as I wished, and I don't dare to ask for too much."
Mo Qingzi felt a little distressed when she saw her like this, so she stood up, walked to her side, gently stroked her, and said softly: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely try my best to match you and big brother in the future. You are so kind, big brother will be moved sooner or later. Don't lose heart."
"Well, I hope so." Chu Qianyu's voice was a little muffled.
The two chatted for a while, and Chu Qianyu finally felt better. Mo Qingzi remembered that she was frightened yesterday, and it was not good to disturb her for too long, so she said: "Sister-in-law, you should have a good rest first. It's getting late now, and you and your elder brother have to go back to your parents' home tomorrow. I won't disturb you anymore, I'll go back first."
Chu Qianyu held her hand and said reluctantly: "I feel much better when I'm with you. I really don't want you to go back."
"Since sister-in-law said so, I hope you won't despise me if I come here more often in the future."
"How could I dislike it? I actually wish you would come more often."
Mo Qingzi stretched out her hand and said, "Then it's settled. Come on, pinky promise!"
Chu Qianyu smiled and shook her head, somewhat helplessly, then reached out and shook hands with her.
After some more greetings, Mo Qingzi stood up and left.
Looking at Mo Qingzi's leaving back, Chu Qianyu narrowed his eyes slightly, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
With the help of Qingzi and the old princess, I'm sure we can get twice the result with half the effort.
After Mo Yinan came back, he did not go to Luoyanju, but went to the study room in the previous courtyard and stayed there.
It was not until noon that Yin Ling came and said, "Your Majesty, I am back."
"Come in."
After Yin Ling entered, he bowed and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the person has been tied up. Everything went smoothly and no one knew that it was done by our people. I wonder how Your Highness plans to deal with that person next?"
"Lock him up first, and then wait and see what happens."
"Yes." Yin Ling agreed and walked out.
Mo Yinan also felt a little sleepy at this moment. Thinking of what Chu Qianyu had said earlier that tomorrow was the day to return home, his brows unconsciously frowned.
He sighed impatiently, then stood up and walked out. When he reached the door of the study, he glanced in the direction of Luoyanju, and finally turned back to his previous dormitory to rest.
-
The next day.
The butler had already prepared the carriage and the things to take back home.
When Mo Yinan arrived at Luoyanju, Chu Qianyu was already waiting at the gate.
"Why don't you wait inside?"
"It's okay. I always get up early. Let's go pay our respects to mother first." Chu Qianyu said.
After Chu Qianyu and Mo Yinan walked away.
The servants at the back began to discuss in low voices.
"Why do I feel like the relationship between the prince and the princess is a little strange? Do you feel that way?"
"Yes, but I always feel something is strange but I can't put my finger on it. The princess seems to be very cold and indifferent to the prince. And she is not like an ordinary woman."
"Who said it wasn't true? The prince didn't come on the first night of their wedding, but the princess didn't care at all. She just turned off the lights and went to bed. The prince didn't come last night, but the princess was still like this. She didn't make a fuss. Does the princess have no feelings for the prince?"
An old maid stepped forward and covered her mouth and whispered, "Also, this morning, although the maid brought by the princess cleaned the inner room, I went in and saw no blood on the bed, and there seemed to be traces of someone sleeping on the couch. Maybe the prince rested on the couch last night."
Another maid waved her hands and said in disbelief: "How is it possible? Why would the prince sleep on the couch? It must be the princess who sleeps on it."
"This...can't be done. The princess is the legitimate daughter of the general's mansion after all. The prince shouldn't treat her like this."
"Who knows."
After chatting for a while, they felt there was nothing to talk about, so they all dispersed.
Chu Qianyu and the other person had already sat down in the west hall where the old princess was dining. The old princess looked at the two of them and recalled what Qianqian had said yesterday. She felt a little upset. She had originally thought that the two of them loved each other, and that she would have hope of having a grandson in the future. But now, it was all in vain.
Fortunately, Qingzi came to see her last night. The clever girl said that if they could get together properly in the future, they might develop some feelings for each other. She finally felt a little relieved.
Thinking of this, he smiled and looked at the two of them and said, "Let's eat quickly, you have to leave early later."
Then he pointed at the plate next to Mo Yinan and said, "Nan'er, give Qianqian that yam cake. Yesterday I saw Qianqian really like to eat something sweet and sticky."
When Mo Yinan heard his mother's sudden instruction, he immediately understood that his mother wanted to bring them together.
He responded reluctantly, picked up the plate with the yam cake and placed it directly next to Chu Qianyu.
The old princess sighed inwardly upon seeing this, knowing that this matter could not be rushed, and so she said nothing.
Chu Qianyu looked at Mo Yinan and smiled gently, "Thank you, husband." Then she looked at the old princess and said, "Thank you, mother, for remembering what Qianqian likes to eat."
The old princess smiled and nodded.
Mo Yinan said indifferently: "Eat quickly."
