Chapter 475 Is this a test?
"Granny Song, I see you're getting old. It would be best if you enjoyed your remaining years in peace. Your Highness, managing the affairs of the inner quarters is your responsibility. This time, Song Jing dared to scheme against me, and you are equally responsible!"
Mu Xin Nuan remained silent, but Rong Yue beside her became somewhat anxious. "Your Highness, how can you say that? The person in charge of the backyard of this Prince's Mansion is your person. If anyone has made a mistake, it is this Granny Song."
Mu Xin Nuan sneered, "How dare you! How can you shout like that in front of the Prince? What kind of behavior is this? Get out of here!"
Rongyue pouted, looking somewhat aggrieved, and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
"Your Highness is right. This matter is indeed inextricably linked to me. What does Your Highness think?"
"As a princess, you have duties to perform. How can you continue to slack off? Aunt Fang!"
"The servant is here."
"From now on, you will assist the Princess in managing the entire Prince's residence. You must not slack off."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
With just a few simple words, Song Mama was completely stripped of her power and thrown aside.
Duanmu Chuze then moved a step, looking at the fake Mu Xinnuan on the ground with some disgust, and said angrily, "Didn't you hear the Princess's orders? Why are you still letting her lie here, polluting my eyes?"
"Yes!" Several old women then came over tremblingly and dragged Song Jing away from the ground.
This time, the prince's attitude made those serving him understand one thing completely: they must never offend the princess!
What happened today, which later appeared to be the prince's dissatisfaction with the princess, actually resulted in a severe punishment for Granny Song, stripping her of all her power. From now on, there will only be one mistress of the prince's mansion!
Perhaps, the Princess Consort has always been the only mistress of this mansion. However, these women, thinking themselves to be meritorious and having always been under the orders of Granny Song, have forgotten that Granny Song is at most a slightly higher-ranking servant. In essence, what is the difference between her and them?
This time, the old women were all terrified. However, they were secretly relieved that they hadn't offended the princess these past few days; otherwise, their lives would have been extremely difficult.
Granny Song was also carried out, and Mu Xin Nuan left the specific arrangements to Aunt Fang.
After almost everyone had left the room, Duanmu Chuze gave Mu Xin Nuan a cold look, then turned and went into the bedroom.
Mu Xin Nuan's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he had seen through her? No way! She hadn't done anything wrong.
However, thinking back to the look he had given her just now, Mu Xin Nuan still felt a little scared. After thinking it over again, she decided it would be safer to sit here for a while.
Unexpectedly, she had only been sitting for a quarter of an hour when Duanmu Chuze's voice came from the inner room.
"Aren't you coming in? Or do you expect me to have to go and fetch you?"
When Mu Xin Nuan heard that his voice sounded off, she knew he was probably really angry! She didn't dare to delay any longer and quickly went inside.
Duanmu Chuze lay exhausted on the bed, still dressed, with only his boots kicked aside. The hairpins in his hair were still neatly inserted.
"Why are you going to sleep so soon? Be careful not to catch a cold." Mu Xin Nuan thought about how, even though he had been drugged today, he hadn't shown Song Jing the slightest kindness, which showed that he was indeed thinking of her. Seeing him lying there like this, she felt a pang of heartache.
Little did she know that she had just approached him and before her hand even touched his belt when she felt dizzy. When she could see clearly again, she was already lying on the bed, with a magnified handsome face in front of her. It was none other than her husband, Duanmu Chuze, whom she had just been feeling sorry for.
"Should I be glad that I married such an intelligent wife?" Duanmu Chuze's smile was somewhat sinister. He restrained her hands with one hand, while the other hand was playing with her hair in an ambiguous manner. There was no trace of the fatigue from before.
"You? You cheated again!" Mu Xin Nuan's face turned red, and after a long while, she finally managed to utter this sentence.
"When have I ever cheated? Besides, even if I did cheat, it wouldn't make me as happy as my little wife cheating, would it? Hmm?"
The last "hmm" was high-pitched, startling Mu Xin Nuan so much that her heart skipped a beat. She gave a slightly guilty smile and looked away, not daring to look at him.
"Why are you silent now? Before I arrived, you were quite the chatterbox, weren't you? Weren't you planning to throw that Song Jing into a brothel? How come you've suddenly become mute? Did the cat steal your mouth?"
"You're the one who's mute! Humph! I knew you were just feeling sorry for that beautiful Song Jing. If you feel sorry for her, you can just order someone to send her back to you."
Mu Xin Nuan's somewhat resentful words, however, earned a smile from Duanmu Chuze. "A Nuan, you don't think I'll let you off the hook just because you deliberately changed the subject, do you?"
Mu Xin Nuan's face stiffened. She gritted her teeth and had no choice but to turn her head again. After blinking her big eyes a few times, she said pitifully, "I didn't know she would bribe the servants to drug you! I just had someone keep an eye on her. I didn't expect that she could still bypass my people and find a way to get my clothes."
"I believe you that you didn't know. But you can't deny that you knew from the start that she would seduce me, right?"
"Uh. Okay, I admit, I did expect that. But as I said, I didn't expect her to bribe the people in the front yard to drug you. Besides, you're a martial artist yourself, how did you fall for their trap? You can't blame me for that, can you?"
"So, you think you're right?" Duanmu Chuze's tone was noticeably harsh.
"That's exactly right!" Mu Xin Nuan muttered guiltily in a low voice, "I just expected it, but she hadn't taken any action yet. I couldn't just accuse her of something like that, could I? Wouldn't that be too arbitrary of me?"
"Hehe! Ah Nuan, is it so hard to just admit that you want to test my willpower?"
Mu Xin Nuan froze, because she clearly sensed that Duanmu Chu Ze's aura was a bit off; it was cold, and it seemed to be so cold that it sent chills down her spine! This was something she had never felt before.
She called out weakly, but this time, instead of receiving Duanmu Chuze's pity and heartache, she saw a hint of disappointment in his slightly dark eyes.
Yes, it's disappointment!
Mu Xin Nuan realized something was wrong and was about to say something when she felt a lightness on her body. Duanmu Chu Ze had already left.
