The reborn sweet girl always wants to escape, but the abstinent prince hugs her and coaxes her!

Mu Rong's protest seemed unheard by Chu He, and he continued to analyze: "In addition to Lin Jiaoyue's move, the fourth prince also wants to control the county lord through the Xu Dynasty, and then... influence you."

Apart from this reason, Chu He really couldn't think of the fourth prince's purpose of targeting Xu Chaoqian.

He didn't even hesitate to pay such a high price for Xu Chaoqian's daughter whose reputation had been completely ruined.

You know, that is the secret medicine in the Queen's hand. Before Lin Jiaoyue was cured, no one knew about the existence of this secret medicine in the Queen's hand!

The fourth prince is now asking for help from the Queen for the people of the Xu Mansion. If he is not careful, the Queen's secret can no longer be hidden - a woman who has no intention of being powerful holds this secret medicine in her hands. Once it is revealed to the world, the Emperor's second secret will no longer be hidden. One would doubt her intentions!

If the Fourth Prince can be allowed to take such a big risk, then the benefits he can get from the Xu family will definitely be greater.

Mu Rong did not deny Chu He's guess, because this was what he had in mind.

There was a brief silence in the barracks.

Whether it is Mu Rong or Chu He, there is one last layer of doubt in their hearts that cannot be solved: with Wu Tianqi's scheming, it is impossible not to see Xu Rongrong's rejection of Xu Chaoqian, and it is pure wishful thinking to control her through Xu Chaoqian... Four Is the prince's choice worth it?

unless……

Xu Chaoqian had a bargaining chip in his hands that they, and even Xu Rongrong himself, didn't know about.

So what exactly are the chips?

The two of them, who had lived through two lives, had no clue at all.

……

As soon as Mu Rong returned home, he saw Wen Yao standing outside the study courtyard.

His heart skipped a beat.

This is the first time that Xu Rongrong has asked people around him to come to invite him in the month since he entered the Hou Mansion.

"What's the matter?" he asked hurriedly.

"Madam has something to discuss with Mr. Marquis." Wen Yao reported back.

Therefore, Mu Rong did not dare to delay and turned directly to Xinghui Hall.

Xu Rongrong was sitting at the table, and the two little cats were lying on her knees, pressing their noses into her palms, while she was licking the heads and faces of the two little cats with hay...

Luo Shu stood aside and watched with interest. A cup of hot tea had just been poured on the table, and the steam of the tea was rising.

When Mu Rong entered the house, he saw this kind of scene full of warmth.

Hearing the noise, Xu Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at the man who was walking slowly with the tenderness that had just been projected into her eyes.

At this moment, Mu Rong felt that his heart was about to melt...

If possible, he hoped to seal this moment forever.

"I've met Lord Marquis." Luo Shu hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

She knew that her young lady had something to discuss with the Marquis, so she squatted down, held the two rabbits in her arms, said a blessing and left.

Without Luo Shu and the two rabbits, everything in the room returned to normal.

Seeing the tenderness in Xu Rongrong's eyes gradually receding, Mu Rong smiled slightly: "Rong Rong has something to do with me?"

Xu Rongrong nodded: "Yi Changshi handed me the account books of Mr. Hou's shop in Beijing a few days ago. I had nothing to do these two days, so I took Wen Yao and Luo Shu out to look around... ...Twenty shops, three pawnshops and two banks. Is the Marquis’s property in Beijing exceeding the limit?"

According to the Great Zhou etiquette system, the Marquis is entitled to the allocation of twelve shops and four fields, and is not allowed to operate pawnshops, banks and other industries...

But Mu Rong didn't have everything he should have, and everything he should have exceeded the standard.

Mu Rong said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, your majesty is my uncle."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

Sure enough, rules are left to the powerless to follow.

"After reading the shop's account books, is Rong Rong still satisfied?"

"Master Marquis's shop generates tens of thousands of dollars in revenue every year. Do you really feel safe leaving them to me to take care of?"

"Of course, don't worry." Mu Rong walked to Xu Rongrong and sat down, raised his hand to pour himself a cup of tea, and took a sip...

Light and elegant, good tea!

He put down the tea cup: "Most of the shopkeepers in these shops were left to me by my parents. They are experienced and experienced, so Rong Rong can use them with confidence. If he meets a more suitable person in charge, Rong Rong can also use them according to his own wishes. It is an eternal principle to replace existing managers and replace them with those who are capable."

Xu Rongrong smiled slightly: "But if this happens, wouldn't it chill the hearts of these old people in the Hou Mansion?"

Mu Rong smiled and shook his head: "A few years ago, I found out that there were some unscrupulous people in the house, so I cleared out all the people who were doing errands. Now all those left behind are loyal people who are willing to do everything for the Hou Mansion. , even if they are replaced and leave without a name, they will never complain! What's more... I have prepared deregistration documents and a good farmland for each of them, which is enough for each of them to retire. They enjoy their old age in peace. Rong Rong just lets go and does it, don't worry about other things."

Looking at the burning light in Mu Rong's eyes, Xu Rongrong suddenly found that it was difficult for her to harden her heart when facing such a comprehensive man.

"Now that the Marquis has solved all my worries for me, it seems that I can't shirk the matter of taking charge of the Marquis's cash box."

Mu Rong's eyebrows arched: "From now on, I will have to rely on my wife for food, clothing, housing and transportation."

He said it pitifully, but there was a smile in his eyes, which made Xu Rongrong feel a little unnatural.

She glanced slightly sideways: "However, the reason why I invited Mr. Hou here today is not just for the business of the shop."

Mu Rong heard this: I knew it...

Fortunately, he has already gotten used to it.

"Rong Rong, please speak."

"After checking the store today, I went to see Mr. Shu."

Hearing Xu Rongrong suddenly mention Shu Qing unpreparedly, Mu Rong was shocked. Fortunately, Xu Rongrong looked as usual and didn't seem to notice the secret thing he was hiding. So he felt relieved and asked, "What's going on with Mr. Shu?"

"He said... he seemed to have seen Vai a few days ago." Xu Rongrong said.

"Wai? Is it Vai, the daughter of the Southern Xinjiang clan leader?"

Xu Rongrong nodded: "But Mr. Shu said that the man disappeared in a flash. He didn't see his face, so he was just guessing."

"There are so many women in the world, why did Mr. Shu only guess about Vai?"

"Mr. Shu consulted Miss Wai for treatment before I was poisoned. He was deeply impressed by her Mandarin with a hint of accent... The woman he bumped into a few days ago had a very similar tone to Wai, so that's why Doubtful. But the journey to southern Xinjiang is far away, and Vai has just returned not long ago, so why would he return to the capital?" Xu Rongrong was puzzled.

Mu Rong's expression changed slightly.

But facing Xu Rongrong, he pretended to be calm and said: "Mr. Shu himself said that the man disappeared in a flash. I guess he was wrong."

Xu Rongrong nodded and said: "Maybe so. But this matter is somewhat strange. The situation in Beijing is changing now, and many forces are mixed together. I hope the Marquis knows about it and has an idea."

"Thank you, madam." Mu Rong's face was full of smiles, but his heart was slightly shuddering.

That day, after Chu He and others escorted Vai back to southern Xinjiang, they received his secret letter and searched for a way to eradicate the poison of the ice-sealed cave in southern Xinjiang.

Although this matter is secretive, it happened on the territory of Southern Xinjiang after all. If the people in Southern Xinjiang are interested, they will surely find clues. As the daughter of the clan leader, it would not be surprising if Vai knew about this matter.

If she really comes to the capital... how long can Rong Rong keep it secret?
