Xu Rongrong's subconscious rejection made Mu Rong's heart sink instantly.

Obviously the relationship between them has eased——

She was willing to marry him, live in Xinghui Hall, and let him get close... Everything was going in a good direction, but in the end she was still ignored by him and pushed away from him again.

He took back his hand and said in a halting tone: "I'm sorry... I was rude."

I was full of regret, but I couldn't tell her.

Today, if he hadn't taken Shu Qing's medicine in advance, he might still have been able to stand far away and avoid her.

"Although it is summer now, the wind is strong in Wangjiang Pavilion, so Rong Rong needs to pay special attention." He warned.

Xu Rongrong raised her head, looked at the incomprehensible look in Mu Rong's eyes, and said with a slight shock: "Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your concern."

After her subconscious action just now, she felt something was wrong, but she didn't expect the other party to apologize first.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward at the moment. She pondered for a moment and said, "Have you had your meal, Lord Marquis? Xinghui Hall is preparing meals. It's almost time..."

"Is Rong Rong inviting me to have dinner with you?" Mu Rong was ecstatic.

In a moment, his mood was like riding a roller coaster.

Xu Rongrong was a little surprised: "Isn't it possible?"

"Of course not!" Mu Rong laughed, "I thought Rong Rong would be angry with me."

Xu Rongrong was even more confused: "Huh?"

"In the past few days since you have been in the government, I have not arranged everything properly, and I have not been able to take care of you many times." Mu Rong said slowly.

"Master Marquis, are you referring to leaving me alone in Xinghui Hall?"

Mu Rong nodded.

Seeing this, Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Master Hou is worrying too much. I have always been lonely and cold. I feel more comfortable without Master Hou around."

She spoke without hesitation.

Indeed, these days, she has also noticed that there is something strange about Mu Rong, but she enjoys the peace now more than exploring him.

She didn't have to worry about how to get along with Mu Rong, nor did she have to pretend to be faint to avoid having sex at night.

In the past ten days, she had been looking at her account books and reading storybooks in her spare time, while two little white fluffy rabbits huddled next to her for fun.

The summer is hot, but the Xinghui Hall has a full supply of icebergs and cold incense. Outside the bedroom window is a shady flower vine. Under the vine, there is a pool of water with plump koi carp swimming in it.

Xu Rongrong only needs to lean against the window to feel the complete leisure. This place is even more elegant than the Zhuxiang Yayuan that everyone envies.

She even felt that it would be good if they could continue to get along like this.

But today, Mu Rong actually apologized for this, which was unnecessary for her...

"The Marquis has given me enough freedom and tolerance. I am already very content."

On their wedding night, she pretended to be in a coma to avoid the first night, which was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

I'm afraid no man in this world can endure such humiliation, right? But he just endured it.

Not only did he not reprimand her, he even arranged for her to enter the palace, and even helped her on the day she returned.

She was not a hard-hearted person, so how could she not feel grateful for him?

Looking at her bright and clear eyes and listening to her calm expression, Mu Rong's heart became even more gray.

He whispered: "Last night, I met Lin Jiaoyue."

After finishing speaking, he added: "But it was in front of the Hou Mansion, not a private meeting."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

The Mu Rong in front of him looked like a child who had made a mistake, which made Xu Rongrong feel dumbfounded for a moment.

She responded: "I know."

"How did Rong Rong know?" Mu Rong raised his head and looked at her.

"Yesterday Wen Yao went out to do errands for me. When he came back, he saw Mr. Hou chatting with a woman in red in front of the door. He told me when he came back." She smiled, "Looking at the capital, who doesn't know that the red dress is Lin The eldest lady’s favorite?”

Mu Rong felt relieved. Fortunately, he told the truth today, otherwise Rong Rong would not have taken the initiative to ask based on her past life, but it would have become a poisonous thorn deep in her heart!

"But she will be getting married to the Fourth Prince early next month, and now she comes to see the Marquis... Could it be that she doesn't want to marry the Fourth Prince, but wants to rekindle her old relationship with you, Marquis?" Xu Rongrong smiled at the corner of her eyes.

Seeing her unconcerned look, Mu Rong sighed slightly in his heart, and continued: "I don't know the purpose of her coming here, but I found that the injuries on her face have completely recovered... without any trace. .”

"How could it be?" Xu Rongrong's eyes widened, "How long has it been? Even the flesh injuries may not be able to fully recover in such a short period of time! What's more, her bones were already visible!"

Based on her current knowledge, there is no record of this kind of repairing medicine in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the surrounding areas.

Mu Rong nodded: "This is the first weird thing."

"What about the other weirdos?"

"She also found out that you and I didn't consummate our marriage."

"Mu Rong!" Xu Rongrong's eyebrows stood up and her cheeks turned red.

"Rong Rong, don't get me wrong, I didn't tell her..." Mu Rong explained quickly.

Xu Rongrong turned sideways, trying to hide her heated cheeks in the shadows: "Not you? Then who else... Even the girls who are close to me, I... I have never told them."

"Everyone in Xinghui Hall is trustworthy." Mu Rong added, "And...some things don't have to be told before others will know."

Xu Rongrong was slightly startled, then hesitantly said: "...could it be that the queen saw it?"

But the next moment, a look of even greater surprise appeared on her face: "Did the fourth prince actually get involved with the queen?"

The Queen and Lin Jiaoyue are neither relatives nor friends, so there is absolutely no need to tell the family affairs of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion to such unrelated people. But the fourth prince is different. In his previous life, the fourth prince used Lin Jiaoyue to tightly control Mu Rong. It is not surprising that he is interested in things in the Hou Mansion in this life! But the Queen is not a fool. Naturally, she revealed the secrets of the Hou Mansion in order to gain something from the Fourth Prince...

But apart from his status as a prince, what else does the current Fourth Prince have that is worthy of her plot?

identity? !

Xu Rongrong's expression changed slightly: "The Queen is going to deal with His Highness Prince Ning!"

Support the fourth prince to deal with Prince Ning, and let the two of them fight to the point of losing both sides, so that the deposed prince can benefit from it!

Mu Rong didn't expect that his words would make Xu Rongrong discover the key in such a short period of time. He couldn't help but admired: "Rongrong is so smart, I'm afraid I will have nowhere to hide from Rongrong in the future..."

Seeing that he was still thinking about joking at this time, Xu Rongrong glared at him: "I have already started plotting against you inside and out, but the Marquis is so leisurely!"

Mu Rong smiled and said: "The two of them are not worthy of fear."

"But what if there are others? How can Mr. Hou remain so calm?" Xu Rongrong asked.

"Who else?" Mu Rong looked at her.

"And I."
