Chapter 192 Push it up 1 time?
Ever since that man left, Mu Xin Nuan felt something was off. The truth about what happened back then? What truth?
Could it be that the person who saved her back then wasn't Chu Rong? But that's unlikely! So many people clearly saw that Chu Rong brought her back, and didn't she see Chu Rong herself?
Or is there something she doesn't know about this?
Mu Xin Nuan is good in this respect; if she really can't figure something out, she simply stops thinking about it.
The next day, as expected, Madam Chu came in person, bringing exceptionally generous gifts. However, she did not stay at Jin Courtyard for long before taking her leave. When she left, Madam Chu's expression was rather unpleasant. At the door, the steward chased after her, saying that it was a return gift prepared by Madam Chu.
Chu Rong had already anticipated that his mother's trip would likely end in failure. However, thinking about it was one thing, but still harboring some hope in his heart was another.
Upon seeing his mother enter the house looking somewhat dejected, Chu Rong knew things were hopeless. However, he still held onto a sliver of hope, asking, "Mother, what did Auntie say?"
“Arong, your mother knows you like Anuan, and your mother also likes that child very much. However, your Aunt Mu’s meaning is very clear, and it seems that even your Uncle Mu has said it very clearly. I’m afraid your marriage with Anuan will not be possible.”
Although I was mentally prepared, hearing my mother say it clearly from her own mouth still made me feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"Mother, is there really no other way? What do you think if I go and beg Uncle Mu myself?"
"No good! Ah Rong, I know Ah Nuan is a good girl, but there are plenty of good girls in the capital. Why do you have to be so hung up on her? I'll help you find someone better later, okay?"
"No! No matter how good others are, they are not Anuan! Besides, I don't believe there is a better girl in the world than Anuan! I, Chu Rong, will marry no one but her in this life!"
Madam Chu panicked as soon as she heard this, because Madam Mu had said there was absolutely no way to save her!
Originally, Mu Xin Nuan was the eldest daughter of the Mu family, the apple of the old master's eye! How could anyone agree to marry their daughter to you after your daughter treated her so badly? It's not like your daughter can't get married, why should she be forced to hang herself in your Chu family?
However, Madam Chu understood these words in her heart, but dared not say them aloud.
Nowadays, Chu Moli's life in the manor is not easy either. She is currently confined to her quarters and punished by copying "Admonitions for Women." Even so, Chu Qinghe still feels unsatisfied and wishes he could just take the family rules and give her a good beating.
Madam Chu watched Chu Rong run out. Although she felt bad, there was nothing she could do. After all, the Chu family was indeed in the wrong in this matter.
If it were my own daughter being so disparaged, I would never let her marry into that family. Putting myself in their shoes, I can't blame them.
Chu Rong left the Chu residence and rode his horse directly to the Mu residence.
Upon reaching the gate, Chu Rong hesitated for a long time. Only after the gatekeeper repeatedly asked if he was looking for the eldest young master did Chu Rong realize that his behavior was inappropriate. He pursed his lips tightly, glanced at the gate of the Mu residence, and after much deliberation, turned around and left.
The gatekeeper was also puzzled as to what was wrong with this young master Chu. He hadn't heard of anyone offending him.
Upon returning home, Mu Chang'an heard about the incident and immediately ordered that if anyone from the Chu family came again, no one was to be allowed into the back courtyard. Any matters should be discussed in the front hall. He also specifically instructed that the eldest young lady was not allowed to see any member of the Chu family!
Actually, Mu Chang'an meant to prevent Mu Xin Nuan from meeting Chu Rong alone, but he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise, wouldn't that be saying something bad about his own daughter?
"Elder sister, are you really not going to marry Young Master Chu?" Mu Qingyuan's eyes were bright, and she seemed quite happy that she wasn't going to marry Chu Rong.
"Yes. Marriage is a major life event, and it is naturally decided by one's parents! Since both parents disagree, I naturally cannot get married."
Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan was smiling as she said this, Mu Qing Yuan asked uncertainly, "Elder sister, don't you like Young Master Chu at all? Would you be heartbroken if you couldn't marry him?"
"Why do you ask that, A-Yuan?"
Mu Qingyuan bit his lip. "Elder sister, if you really like Young Master Chu, I can always go to our parents and ask them to come up with a solution for you! But if you don't really want to marry him, I think it's better not to marry him at all."
Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, "What do you mean?"
"The Chu family only has one daughter, Chu Moli, who has been extremely spoiled since childhood! With such a aunt, if my elder sister were to marry into the Chu family, she would definitely only suffer mistreatment! Don't forget, Chu Moli knows martial arts! Although my elder sister is clever, she is ultimately no match for her ruthlessness and strength! Therefore, I think it's a very good thing that my elder sister doesn't marry into the Chu family!"
Mu Xin Nuan couldn't help but take another look at her younger brother. It seemed that her hard work over the past few years hadn't been in vain! She had indeed raised him to be a loyal and devoted younger brother. That was good; at least in the future, when others wanted to use him against her, they would always have some reservations!
Especially Mu Xinyao, seeing that her own brother, who shared the same mother, was not close to her at all, but was exceptionally affectionate towards her, his elder sister, she really wondered if Mu Xinyao wished she could skin her alive and tear her apart.
"It seems that A Yuan truly cares about his sister!" Mu Xin Nuan smiled gently. "With A Yuan caring for his sister like this, she is content."
"Of course I care about my sister." Mu Qingyuan blurted out almost subconsciously, then seemed to realize it was a bit inappropriate and said with a slightly flushed face, "My sister hasn't been going to the outer courtyard to watch my brother and me practice martial arts much lately."
"Yes, my studies have been quite demanding lately. Once things ease up a bit, I'll definitely come to the Foreign Languages Department to cheer you and Ah Xuan on."
"Really? I knew my eldest sister was the best."
After Mu Xin Nuan sent Mu Qing Yuan away, Mu Hua dared to whisper, "Miss, there's been some movement from the Yang family."
"Oh?" Mu Xin Nuan's lips curved into a smile, bright yet with a hint of coolness. "In the end, you couldn't resist."
"Miss, what do you think? Should we hold back, or give it a push?"
"Let's wait and see. If the time is right, I certainly won't mind giving it a push. I'm really eager to see what kind of expression my dear second aunt will have."
