After Mu Qianyin became ill, she rarely went out.

In order to prevent others from making excessive associations between the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and the Ning Prince Mansion, Xu Rongrong and Mu Qianyin rarely met each other.

All the information between the two of them was transmitted by Mu Rong.

But things have been happening one after another recently, and Xu Rongrong knew very little about Mu Qianyin's pregnancy.

Mu Rong peeled a grape for her and handed the crystal clear kernel to her lips.

"Don't worry, the news about the so-called abnormal fetal position was deliberately set up to confuse Wei Shi and His Majesty."

Xu Rongrong's attention was all on his words. She subconsciously opened her mouth and bit the grape, and her soft lips touched his fingertips.

Mu Rong withdrew his hand, rubbed his fingertips and continued, "The imperial physician who came to the palace to see the patient is my man, and one of the three midwives was also arranged by me. They said that the princess's fetus is in an abnormal position, and others will not doubt it."

"That being said, Wei Shi will definitely inquire about this secretly after he returns home, so it's better to be more careful."

Mu Rong nodded: "Rongrong is right, so... I will keep a close eye on him. But... I will be busy with the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion these days. Before the princess gives birth safely and Wei Shi is arrested, Rongrong will have to take care of the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

Xu Rongrong looked at the man in front of her.

Even though he was once a person with profound inner strength that was unmatched, under the torture of the cold poison... he could hardly hide his exhaustion.

He had been ill for a while and had not yet recovered, and now he had to run around for Prince Ning's Palace.

For some reason, her heart ached.

Sister Mu is about to give birth, and Prince Ning is afraid that he will focus all his attention on her and will inevitably have less energy to pay attention to other matters.

Although Chu He controls the movements in the palace, his influence is now limited to the palace walls.

I'm afraid that only Mu Rong can shoulder the responsibility of ensuring the safety of Prince Ning's Mansion.

However, the relationship between the Hou Mansion and the Ning Wang Mansion has always been hidden in the dark. Even if Mu Rong wants to supervise the Ning Wang Mansion and keep an eye on the movements of Wei Shi and His Majesty, he can only do it in secret.

The difficulty involved is enough to make people overwhelmed just by imagining it.

What's more... he is now also responsible for the defense of the four major camps in the suburbs of Beijing and the capital...

How is he supposed to cope with all these things happening one after another?

At this moment, he was even considering whether it was hard for her to manage the affairs of the Marquisate...

Xu Rongrong put down the grapes in her hand and nodded: "Don't worry, my lord. The Marquis's Mansion is simple in population. Nanny Xiao is an experienced person. It is enough to have her help. Wen Yao and Luo Shu are also familiar with the affairs of Xinghui Hall. But my lord, please be more careful in your actions, and... also take care of yourself."

Her voice was a little low when she said the last sentence, but Mu Rong heard it clearly.

If it was a month ago, or half a month ago, he would have teased her repeatedly and forced her to confirm whether she cared about him...

But today, he didn't want to ask anymore.

When people are not confident, they want to confirm again and again to feel at ease.

But now, he no longer needs it.

His appearance...

Finally I am willing to look back at him!

……

The next morning, Xu Rongrong was in the flower hall of the Marquis's mansion.

Although the personnel in the palace are simple, the rules are extremely strict.

Although the purchasing procedures in various places have not changed for several years, the people in charge are not the kind of people who rely on their seniority to bully others. Previously, all affairs of the Marquis' Mansion were under the control of Yi Changshi, and after the Marquis got married, they obeyed his wife. Now that his wife asked them to listen to Nanny Xiao's arrangements, they had no objection.

After the managers left, Madam Xiao herself was somewhat puzzled:

"Madam...I have never been in charge of such a big matter. I am afraid I cannot bear it."

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "It's okay. You have become familiar with them these days. What do you think of their abilities?"

"They are all loyal servants of the Marquis' Mansion, and most of them are far more capable than the old women." Madam Xiao said truthfully.

"That's right. Since they are loyal servants, they will naturally put the interests of the Marquisate first and won't have any mean intentions. In addition, they are very capable. Are you still worried that they will cause trouble? You just need to do your best to manage and coordinate the needs of each place, so that they and their subordinates will not be lazy."

She looked at the puzzlement on Nanny Xiao's face and continued, "The person in charge doesn't need to be better than them in everything. What Nanny needs to do is to be flexible and make plans."

Mu Yi smiled and said, "That's right... Madam, you can tell from looking at me. My martial arts are not as good as Mu Ai's, my lightness skills are not as good as Mu Lu's, and my wit is not as good as Mu Qi's. But the Marquis asked me to be the Chief Historian of the Marquis' Mansion because I am smooth in handling things and can arrange for them to assist each other in doing their work together."

Madam Xiao nodded: "I understand! I will definitely help Madam manage the palace."

"Go and get busy." Xu Rongrong said with a smile.

After Nanny Xiao left, only Xu Rongrong and Mu Yi were left in the flower hall.

Mu Yi understood, so he asked, "Madam, do you have any errands for me?"

"The Marquis has not recovered from his serious illness, and now he is busy with the affairs of the court and other places. And I...can't help. Fortunately, there are fewer things to do in the mansion now, and I want you to concentrate on assisting the Marquis."

After that, she added, "Just now, Yi Changshi also said that you know Mu Ai and the others very well. If you were by the side of the Marquis to help him, he would definitely save a lot of energy."

"But... the Marquis ordered me to assist Madam in handling matters in the mansion."

"You are helping me by helping the Marquis." Xu Rongrong said with a smile, "I think the Marquis will not hide what he is planning from you. Yi Changshi should know what kind of situation he is facing now... He is alone and it is too tiring."

Mu Yi was thinking about something with his head down. He raised his head when he heard this: "If the Marquis heard this, he would be ecstatic."

He has always been with his own lord, so how could he not see the awkwardness in his relationship with his lady?

Now that the lady has said so...

Doesn't that mean that the Marquis will soon see the clear sky after the bright moon?

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "Of course you can't tell him that."

"Why?"

"What he's planning is so important. If he really goes crazy, won't it be bad?"

After saying that, she laughed.

Mu Yi was startled at first, and then stunned.

The way the lady smiles... is so beautiful!

I really hope that she can be like this in front of the Marquis.

"I will follow your orders, Madam!"

……

After settling the affairs in the mansion, Xu Rongrong returned to Xinghui Hall.

He called Luo Shu over and said, "Please help me bring a message to your brother."

Luo Shu collected his thoughts and said, "Miss, please give me your instructions."

"The political situation is complicated now. It is not appropriate for Wei to stay in the capital. She is being closely watched. If she suddenly disappears, there will definitely be a secret search for her in the whole city. It may not be safe for the Marquis' Mansion to send her out of the capital. Isn't there a caravan heading north in two days? Let them leave in the caravan."

"But... isn't going north the opposite of going back to southern Xinjiang?"

Xu Rongrong smiled and said, "What we want is to go against the grain!"
