The Mulberry had already become a speck of dust in Mu Rousang's memories. It was enough for her to live the life that the Mulberry looked up to and envied in this place.
Chun Yan added, ”Humph, let this servant say that the reason why she's being so friendly is because she wants to curry favor with you.”
”Ha, you're right. Think about it, the person who bullied me back then is now showing his face. Isn't that great?”
Alright, Mu Rousang's words sounded good, but she was actually narrow-minded.
When night came, Mu Rousang waited for Yang Zixuan to come back before she recounted what happened during the day once again. The two of them holed up at home and thought for a while, deciding that it was better to not alert the enemy.
Yang Zixuan and her were used to having many ideas, but now that Su Waner's actions seemed suspicious, they did not have any clues. Even if they were to cause trouble in front of the Prince Chung and the Prince Chung, the two of them would definitely suffer, why not take a look at Su Waner's plan first.
”White Jade Temple? The people below me have found out that eldest sister-in-law's elder brother seems to have gotten a lot of money recently. ”
The flickering candlelight reflected onto his face in secret, causing the coldness at the corners of Yang Zixuan's eyes to sink into his bones.
”Her big brother? Isn't he just a seventh rank official? ” Mu Rousang glanced at him again and laughed: ”How can that salary be enough to cover a family's expenses? ”Besides, not every man has eyes like mine and knows how to do business a long time ago.”
After Yang Zixuan heard this, his expression eased up and he said: ”That's right, I'm afraid that we will have to delay the event for this year. Currently, the letters from the southern and northern lands are not accessible, I wonder if Uncle and Cousin are doing well?”
”Didn't Uncle say last time that cousin's wife was pretty good?” ”Even though I don't think much about studying, now that my cousin has taken over part of my uncle's business and you're watching over her, even though there's no letters in the letter anymore, our prince's mansion still stands there, and he doesn't dare to have any ill intentions.”
Mu Rousang recalled that Liu Lanzhi was also someone who planned things well back then. Even Zhou Baoer, who was also a daughter of a merchant, had suffered a loss at her hands.
Yang Zixuan sighed heavily, and laughed: ”Being a mystery, I am not as good as my wife. It is only 15 days away, I have already urged the people outside to quickly go and check on Sister-in-Law's big brother, you are more important, if we could have received the news earlier, we could have made our preparations earlier, so that we would not get caught unprepared.”
The two of them had nothing to say to each other so they went to sleep early. When the next day came, Yang Zixuan went to the yamen to check up on them.
Mu Rousang sent Xia Chan to discuss it in secret with him.
Two days passed just like that. Yang Zixuan returned in the afternoon, and saw Mu Rousang sleeping lazily under the laurel tree while enjoying the cool air. Beside him were two little girls fanning her.
Seeing that he had returned, Mu Rousang asked: ”Are you free today at the yamen again?”
Yang Zixuan laughed: ”Of course not, hai, now that everyone is in danger, who can calm themselves and handle matters like this, they all want to stay at home and not provoke any trouble? Since there are only a few people at the yamen today, we little sesame officials naturally have nothing to do.”
Mu Rousang leaned on the bamboo bed, Luo Fan laughed: After I entered the yamen, I had to get up early and do my jobs in the dark, and now that I have nothing to do, it would be better for you to stay at home and rest, I was already too busy to even touch the ground after being a servant, and you are also in the bitter summer, so you have become even thinner, so it's a good opportunity to rest and come out at home.
Yang Zixuan laughed: ”Of course not, hai, now that everyone is in danger, who can calm themselves and handle matters like this, they all want to stay at home and not provoke any trouble? Since there are only a few people at the yamen today, we little sesame officials naturally have nothing to do.”
Mu Rousang leaned on the bamboo bed, Luo Fan laughed: After I entered the yamen, I had to get up early and do my jobs in the dark, and now that I have nothing to do, it would be better for you to stay at home and rest, I was already too busy to even touch the ground after being a servant, and you are also in the bitter summer, so you have become even thinner, so it's a good opportunity to rest and come out at home.
Yang Zixuan snorted: ”I do want to, but I'm afraid I have to worry about my family's matters again.”
”Oh, there's new news. I also have something to tell you today.”
Xia Hua and Xia He had already brought over two bowls of Ice Suppressing Soup and a plate of Dragon Nail.
Mu Rousang saw and then said: ”You left early in the morning, I'm afraid you're hungry for a while. Eat a few pastries first, then call cook to cook Red Braised Ribs later.”
Yang Zixuan took the sour plum soup that Xia Hua gave him and gulped it down in one gulp.
She laughed and scolded him, ”You sure are lazy.”
”My wife's handkerchief has a delicate fragrance. It's not like the husband only has the smell of soap.”
Yang Zixuan lovingly held her little hand and played with it, then said: ”I came back early today with some findings, if not why don't you tell me first, I can verify it with you.”
