Chapter 597 They've Sneaked In!
Fang came from a prestigious family, but her upbringing focused entirely on poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and chess, inevitably neglecting other aspects of her education.
Especially regarding the matter of managing the household, Fang Shi really didn't learn much from her mother.
Mrs. Fang had already realized this problem when she came to take care of her during her postpartum period last time.
Her daughter, being the eldest daughter-in-law, would inevitably be in charge of managing the household. However, if she couldn't learn this skill or was unwilling to learn, trouble was bound to arise sooner or later. Even if Li Haoran didn't say anything, her mother-in-law and great-grandmother-in-law probably wouldn't let it go.
Mrs. Fang's idea was correct, but unfortunately, at this time, as a mother, she was powerless to do anything.
She could only ask the maids to help out more. Besides, she felt that her daughter was intelligent and should be able to learn how to manage the household soon. After all, it wasn't a big deal!
However, Madam Fang clearly overestimated her daughter. Fang was not as clever as she thought. She had turned a simple flower-viewing banquet into a mess. Was it really just to bring so many people to admire the flowers? It has to be said that Madam Fang herself was starting to look down on herself.
After the banquet that day, Madam Fang herself sensed the awkward atmosphere, but there was nothing she could do. It seemed that this was all she could do; her abilities were limited. It seemed that this was all she could do.
The nanny around Madam Fang had given her many reminders, but the problem was that Madam Fang was sometimes too self-righteous.
She was a little annoyed by Li Haoran's attitude last time, but she didn't dare to vent her anger on him. So, she thought of organizing a banquet on her own to show them whether she really had no ability at all.
As a result, I didn't listen to other people's opinions in time, and I made a big fool of myself!
Mu Xin Nuan was resting and recuperating in Yi Jing Garden, so she naturally knew something about this matter and smiled without making any comment.
Duanmu Chuze was very satisfied with Mu Xinnuan's reaction. His intention was to let her rest at home and take care of her pregnancy, and not to think about anything else. He wanted them to do whatever they wanted.
Mu Xin Nuan roughly understood what Duanmu Chu Ze meant. In addition, she herself was not feeling well. Although her morning sickness symptoms had improved slightly, they were still fluctuating.
I don't know why, but it suddenly became very strong again.
Fortunately, Zhao Zihe was there to check Duanmu Chuze's pulse every day, which put Duanmu Chuze at ease.
Now that Zhao Zihe has returned to Yanzhou, he can no longer stay at the Chang Le Prince's Mansion.
Duanmu Chuze arranged some affairs for her in Yanzhou. Although it was an important position, fortunately there weren't too many things to do, so she could also take care of Mu Xinnuan at the same time.
When the news of Mu Xin Nuan's pregnancy was received, the people in the capital were naturally overjoyed.
The Emperor and Empress naturally received the news as well. The Empress immediately ordered a large cartload of tonics and other necessities to be prepared and sent to Yanzhou.
The Li and Mu families were naturally delighted. After discussing it, they packed all the items together and had Mu Qingye and Li Haozheng deliver them to Yanzhou.
Mu Qingye has now grown into a handsome young man. Although he is younger than Li Hao, he is quite tall.
When the two walked together, it was impossible to tell who was older or younger.
When Mu Xin Nuan heard that they were coming, she was naturally delighted and began to have the guest courtyard cleaned in preparation for their arrival. As for Li Hao Ran, it would be a lie to say he wasn't happy to hear that his younger brother was coming.
Two days after their journey, Mu Qingye and Li Hao finally realized something was wrong when they stopped to rest in the wilderness one night. They caught a thief stealing food in the middle of the night, only to discover it was Mu Qingyang, the third young master of the Mu family.
Mu Qingyang is now six years old. He has always been attached to his older sister Mu Xinnuan. When he heard the news that they were going to visit his sister, he naturally thought of coming along.
On the previous two occasions, Madam Li was worried that Mu Qingyang was too young and might fall ill again after arriving in Yanzhou, as he might not be able to adapt to the environment there.
Therefore, I have always refused to take him along.
This time, Mu Qingyang was smarter. He hid himself silently in the box that Li had prepared for Mu Xinnuan's clothes, and he was gone for two days.
Fortunately, Mu Qingyang wasn't too stupid. Before locking him in the box, he chose one that wasn't locked. Since it wasn't anything valuable, just clothes for a child, it was quite cozy and soft. However, there was no food prepared, so every night he would sneak out to find something to eat.
This time, he was enjoying his meal when he looked up and saw Mu Qingye and Li Hao staring at him.
Mu Qingyang chuckled, revealing two big white teeth. "Brother, cousin. I miss my sister."
One sentence made the two exchange a glance, and they really couldn't bear to let anyone send him back.
The two men led him into the tent, provided him with hot water and some food, and watched him eat heartily. They really couldn't bear to upset him.
Mu Qingyang was handsome and slender, but he was not short; among children his age, he was considered tall.
Moreover, he had been learning martial arts from Li Haozheng, so he was naturally closer to Li Haozheng.
At this point, she started acting silly and cute, refusing to leave no matter what.
Meanwhile, things were in complete chaos in the capital!
The Li and Mu families practically turned the entire capital upside down in their search for Mu Qingyang.
Mu Chang'an, however, was more thoughtful, wondering if the kid had gone to Yanzhou with Li Haozheng and the others.
As luck would have it, Mu Qingye and Li Haozheng also spotted the little mouse.
"Brother Qingye, cousin, I'm not going back. I miss my sister too. Please let me go see her. I'm sure she misses me too."
The last sentence completely softened Mu Qingye's heart.
He's right. My sister is all alone in Yanzhou. Apart from the prince, she has no relatives. And now that she's pregnant, how could she not miss her family?
Thinking it over, he discussed it with Li Haozheng, saying, "Why don't we take him with us? We can send the message back to the capital first, so that at least our uncles won't worry too much."
Li Haozheng said coldly, "Nonsense! Mu Qingyang, do you know how anxious your mother is? How can you be so bold? If you miss her, just say so! Why do this!"
Mu Qingyang's face fell. "Cousin, do you think I don't want to? I also want to sit in a comfortable carriage, but Mother won't let me go. She's afraid I won't adapt to Yanzhou. But I'm a man, why can't I adapt? I don't care, I'm just not going back!"
