Chapter 607: Family harmony and everything is prosperous
Mu Xin Nuan roughly understood Duanmu Chu Ze's meaning: this Fang Shi seemed to be too petty. Even if she didn't want Li Hao Ran to take a concubine, you shouldn't start making a scene at this time. Men, after all, don't really have that much patience to play along with your nonsense.
If they truly love and cherish you, then so be it.
Originally, the two of them were brought together by their parents and the matchmaker, and their feelings for each other were only cultivated after marriage. How come Fang is so clueless?
"Then, should I go and try to persuade my cousin's wife?" Mu Xin Nuan asked hesitantly.
Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow and glanced at her from head to toe. "Where are you going? Let me tell you, the more you meddle in other people's business, the more trouble you'll cause. In the end, both of them will complain about you, making you look bad to everyone."
Mu Xin Nuan felt embarrassed. Although what he said was a bit blunt, it made sense.
She understood what Duanmu Chuze meant; he didn't want her to work too hard, and at the same time, he didn't want her to have any more entanglements with the Fang family.
Fang is not a bad person, but he always seems to lack cunning.
If you don't want your husband to take a concubine, you can talk to him nicely, or you can make arrangements for that Miss Jin first. Why did you have to resort to being stubborn? Does she think that Li Haoran is like Duanmu Chuze?
Mu Xin Nuan inwardly scoffed. She dared to throw a tantrum at Duanmu Chu Ze because she was confident in the relationship between them, but what about the two of them?
Shaking his head, he said with some helplessness, "When they moved out, I didn't think much of it. After all, my older cousin works in Yanzhou City now, and it would indeed be inappropriate for them to always live in the Prince's Mansion. But how come there's been such a commotion after only a short time since they moved out?"
"Alright, stop worrying about other people's business. Just think about yourself."
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly taken aback. Me? She thought to herself, what could possibly be wrong with me?
"You've forgotten? Mother wrote a letter before, saying she would send someone to check on Zonghua?"
Mu Xin Nuan suddenly realized, "Of course! How could I have forgotten such an important thing?"
"Has this person already left the capital?"
"Yes. They've left. They'll arrive in Yanzhou in a few days. I heard that this time, the Empress Dowager sent one of her personal maids, the Phoenix Lady. Although the Empress Dowager's decree didn't say anything else, I have a feeling that there's more to this than meets the eye. You'd better be careful then."
Mu Xin Nuan understood the meaning behind his words. He was worried that the Empress wanted to add more people to their Chang Le Prince's Mansion. She nodded and said, "The Empress is a reasonable person. Otherwise, she wouldn't have only sent three people over after we've been married for so long. This time, with Zong Hua, at least the Empress and Father don't have to worry about the issue of future offspring. I'm sure they won't make things too difficult for me."
"I hope so. The Empress Dowager is easy to talk to, but I'm worried there might be some trouble with the Crown Prince's side."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"The Crown Princess also sent someone over, saying that she wanted to bring gifts to celebrate our son's 100th day, and also to share in his joy. Duanmu Chen has not had any children since his marriage. Although the main wife entered the family relatively late, the Crown Princess is still a little anxious."
When Duanmu Chen and his woman were mentioned, Mu Xin Nuan naturally thought of her good friend Sun Ruo Xiang.
With a slightly worried expression, she asked, "I wonder how Sister Sun is doing by His Highness's side? Does His Highness bully her? What is that Miss Wang like? Is she easy to get along with?"
“Silly girl, although Sun Ruoxiang is a bit straightforward, don’t forget that the reason my mother chose her was precisely because of this. Besides, how can royal marriages be explained simply by love between men and women? Sun Ruoxiang’s family is quite powerful, and Duanmu Chen will not make things difficult for her at this time.”
Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan was still a little worried, she smiled and said, "Even if Duanmu Chen wanted to make things difficult for her, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess wouldn't allow it. Don't worry."
The two sat together on a slightly wider rattan chair. Duanmu Chuze wrapped her small hands in his arms. Since giving birth, Mu Xinnuan seemed to have become somewhat sensitive to cold.
My hands and feet are always cold, and I can hardly be without a hand warmer or hot water bottle all winter long.
"Anuan, let Zhao Zihe prescribe some medicine for you later to help you regulate your body. You're always feeling cold, and if you don't take good care of yourself, you might develop a chronic illness in the future."
Seeing Duanmu Chuze's somewhat worried expression, Mu Xinnuan smiled gently and slowly rested her head on his shoulder. It was so nice to have a man who cared about her all the time.
"Aze, if the Empress Dowager sends someone again this time and brings up the matter of establishing a concubine, what will you do?"
"No way! I said from the beginning that I would only have you as my wife, and naturally there will only be you. There will never be any other woman. Ah Nuan, you know how many things I want to do. I'm too busy with important matters to have time for concubines or mistresses. People say that harmony in the family brings prosperity. In my opinion, as long as you are the only mistress in my backyard and you take good care of our son, that is the greatest support you can give me."
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled, “I understand. You are a person with great ambitions. Although you have no interest in power, now that you have come to Yanzhou, you should naturally find a way to govern this place well. This is your fiefdom, and it is also the place where we will grow old together in the future. We can’t leave our descendants a desolate Yanzhou.”
“You’re right. So, all I can think about right now is how to govern Yanzhou. As for the household, I’m already very happy and content just to see you and our son every day.”
“Aze, with your words, I know what to do. Don’t worry, I will handle everything well, without offending the Empress Dowager or causing you any trouble.”
“Okay, Nuan, in a few months, when the baby is a little older, we’ll go to Yu County together, and you can see what Chang Le Fang looks like now. How about it?”
Duanmu Chuze gently held her small hand and slowly rubbed it to help raise her temperature.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "Forget it. The child is too young. If he catches another disease, it would be a loss. As for Chang Le Fang, now that it's built, it can't just disappear, can it? It'll be there sooner or later, right? I can see it when I go again. Maybe it'll be even more lively next year, which will make you proud, won't it?"
