Chapter 295 She is attracted to you
Xu Rongrong couldn't sleep well for several nights after meeting Mu Rong in Fanlou.
On the carriage back that day, Wen Yao asked her if she wanted to go again.
She did not answer.
Because she doesn't know it herself.
Perhaps it was because the trajectory since rebirth had deviated too much from that of the previous life, and the nightmares of the previous life gradually dissipated, as if everything that had happened had really become a dream.
And in that dream, Mu Rong, who treated her cruelly and indifferently, had become unrecognizable.
Instead, his face, filled with deep emotion, became clearer and clearer...
On the other hand, she is no longer the helpless daughter of the Xu family in her previous life, who was not loved by her parents and was neglected in the marquis's mansion. She now has a strong arm, her own private house, her own shop, and an independent industry.
Although she is not as confident as the girls from aristocratic families, it is still enough to prevent her from being bullied by anyone.
So, should we just stay here?
She curled her fingers and tapped lightly on the arm of the chair, lost in thought.
The sun was shining brightly today, and Wen Yao advised her young lady to go out and bask in the sun more often. But when she turned around, she saw Xu Rongrong who was in deep thought.
Luo Shu also noticed it, and she lowered her voice: "What's wrong with you these days, Miss? You always seem absent-minded."
Wen Yao said nothing as she took the plump rabbit from Luo Shu's arms and quietly placed it at Xu Rongrong's feet. These two little ones were truly clever. Although Nanny Xiao and Luo Shu fed them daily, they knew who was the boss of the house, and so whenever they were near Xu Rongrong, they would do their utmost to please her.
So when Xu Rongrong was feeling tired, she was suddenly frightened by two little ones jumping onto her legs.
It wasn't until their wet noses nuzzled into my palms that I came to my senses.
Looking at their black eyes and soft and cute appearance, Xu Rongrong's heart softened. She stroked their backs gently: "Why are you so clingy, huh?"
Wen Yao stood far away, watching Xu Rongrong lower her head and talk softly to the two little ones, then she felt relieved and went to the kitchen.
My young lady is in good health, so she should take advantage of the spring to eat more tonic food.
……
It wasn't until late April that the masters and servants of Zhuxiang Yayuan noticed Mu Rong's unusual behavior.
Originally, the Marquis wanted to report to Zhuxiang Yayuan every day just like he did at the yamen.
But in the past half month, he has only come three times.
Even if they came, they would just sit for a while and then leave without even eating.
This has never happened before.
Although Xu Rongrong said that she didn't care, she was curious in her heart, but she was not as gossipy as Luo Shu who was beside her.
"What's wrong with the Marquis? With the wedding date approaching, why is he becoming increasingly cold towards the young lady?"
Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "You also know that the wedding date is approaching? Don't you know that according to etiquette, he can't meet me before the wedding?"
"But the Marquis didn't have to come!" Luo Shu tilted his head. "He didn't avoid suspicion according to etiquette, but he treated the young lady coldly. This doesn't make sense at all." "Unless..." Luo Shu dragged out the last syllable.
"Unless what?" Xu Rongrong asked.
"Something's wrong with the Marquis!" Luo Shu hummed, "It must be!"
Xu Rongrong almost laughed out loud when she heard this.
Luo Shu stamped his feet anxiously: "How can you still laugh? Aren't you afraid that the Marquis' soul will be seduced away by some little fox?"
"Wouldn't it be better to seduce her away as soon as possible? Before they get married, if there really is some vixen around him, I can go to His Majesty and make a fuss to cancel the marriage. Isn't that a good thing?" Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows and smiled.
"Miss...if this marriage really falls through, what will you do in the future? Not to mention anything else, even the sisters of the Xu family will laugh to death immediately." Luo Shu pouted.
"Don't worry, even if the marriage falls through, you won't starve." Xu Rongrong looked at the gloomy Luo Shu and raised the corner of her mouth. "It's other people's business if they laugh at us. Let's just live our own lives behind closed doors, isn't it?"
"Miss, are you serious?" Luo Shu smacked his lips in surprise.
"Fake!" Xu Rongrong laughed out loud.
Luo Shu was so angry that she stamped her feet again: "Great! I am so anxious and you are still teasing me. Which young lady is like you?"
After saying that, she stomped her feet and left.
Not long after, Wen Yao came back with a strange look on his face.
Xu Rongrong was flipping through the account book. Seeing Wen Yao's expression, she knew she had something to say: "What's wrong? Is that Luo Shu making a fuss again?"
"She...just went to the back room and asked Wu Ping, our coachman, and Xiao Sheng, who's in charge of shopping, to go to the mansion on their free time...to keep an eye on her..." Wen Yao frowned. "She hasn't come back yet. She must have gone out to look for her brother."
Keep an eye on...keep an eye on the First Rank Military Marquis Weiyuan Hou...
Go and see if Mu Rong is really seduced by the little fox...
Xu Rongrong was also unable to recover for a long time: "This girl...her character really hasn't changed."
"Should we call her back?" Wen Yao imagined the scene of "showing off his sword in front of the Marquis's mansion" and felt a little embarrassed.
"Forget it. If she wants to do it, let her do it." Xu Rongrong smiled, lowered her head and continued to look through the account book in her hand.
Wen Yao looked at her young lady's profile, wondering if it was her illusion.
She always felt that her young lady seemed... quite looking forward to Luo Shu's visit to the Marquis' Mansion?
On the other hand, when Wu Ping drove past the gate of the Marquis' Mansion for the second time, he was already noticed.
The gatekeeper at the Weiyuan Marquis's residence was no ordinary person either. He had heard the news from a scout in the army, so he immediately reported the unusual situation to the Chief Clerk Mu Yi. Mu Rong then learned the news when he returned from his shift.
"Are the people from Zhuxiang Yayuan watching our soldiers?" Mu Rong was quite surprised.
"It seems... that's indeed the case." Mu Yi suppressed the curve of his lips, "Is it because the Marquis doesn't go there often that the people over there are getting anxious?"
Mu Rong shook his head: "No."
His little girl was not that kind of person.
In the past, she wished she could stay away from me.
and many more……
He recalled what Xu Rongrong had said to him in Fanlou a month ago.
Mu Rong was a little unsure for a moment.
He hesitated and said, "She shouldn't be that kind of person."
Mu Yi wanted to laugh in his heart, but he said, "Although the eldest lady is stubborn and had previously been rude to the Marquis, she is a woman after all... With the wedding date approaching, the Marquis is being so distant and inexplicably so, it's hard to guarantee that he won't have doubts in his heart."
"Is that really the case?" Mu Rong confirmed again.
My own Lord, when did you become so unconfident?
Mu Yi laughed and said, "Otherwise, with the eldest lady's personality, would the driver from Zhuxiang Yayuan dare to come to our door without her approval?"
"My Lord, the young lady is attracted to you."
