After the matchmaker left, Mo Shuhua asked Xue quietly, "Mother, are the Fang family really here to discuss marriage?"
Xue smiled happily, "That's right. Judging from the matchmaker's attitude, the marriage can be arranged as long as I agree."
"This must be Princess Yu's manipulation." Mo Shuhua was overjoyed, "Mother, my daughter can also marry into an official family."
Xue said: "It is not difficult to marry into an official family, but it is difficult to become an official's wife. I hope the second young master of the Fang family can pass the imperial examination."
"I heard that Master Fang is quite talented. He failed to perform well last time because he was too nervous."
Mo Shuhua had already secretly inquired about Fang Tianming. Although there were indeed more women in the courtyard, there were also some talented people who were famous.
At first she was bothered by the large number of women in the courtyard, but Xue was certain that he would pass the exam this time, and advised her to take the position of mistress first.
As for those nameless and unprivileged women in the backyard, Fang Tianming probably doesn't favor them much, so isn't he just letting her do whatever she wants?
"Pfft, pfft, pfft..." Mrs. Xue glared at her. "You are about to take part in the Spring Examination, you can't mention such unlucky words."
Mo Shuhua's face flushed suspiciously, "Mother, my daughter and Mr. Fang haven't settled down yet, and you are still protecting her like this."
Xue was confident, "Isn't this a matter of time? Prince Yu is a royal relative, and the Fang family can't curry favor with him without our connections."
Mo Shuhua said shyly, "If this really happens, we will definitely send an invitation to Prince Yu's Mansion to thank His Royal Highness Prince Yu and the Princess."
Xue rushed to show her goodwill, "Of course, if it really turns out well, they will be your biggest support in the Fang family."

in the afternoon.
Mo Tao returned from work.
Xue hurried to the front yard, "Master, this is a great happy event."
Mo Tao was still wearing his official uniform, his face full of joy, "I also have something good to tell Madam."
Xue went with him to the courtyard where he lived, "Master, go change your clothes, we will talk in detail later."
Mo Tao returned to the courtyard room, and she helped him change into casual clothes, and then he went to the front hall.
The couple sat down in the front hall. A maid served them freshly brewed tea, and they took a sip comfortably.
Mo Tao then spoke first, "Madam, today in the government office, Minister Fang Zuo actually praised me in public for doing a good job."
Xue held the teacup in her hand, unable to hide the smile on her face, "I congratulate you, Master. Do you know the reason?"
"It's because you have seen my ability." Mo Tao is a conceited person. He thought that he was not appreciated for his talent when he failed to get promoted.
But at that time, Mo Yun was the new top scholar and was favored by the young lady from aristocratic family, but he was just on the list.
He had been doing nothing these years and had been unable to get promoted. He also secretly accused Mo Yun of being too heartless and unwilling to help him.
Xue shook her head slightly, "No, it's because we are about to marry into the Fang family. Master, the matchmaker came to propose marriage for Shuhua today."
Mo Tao almost forgot about Fang Tianming, but suddenly remembered, "Could it be that he really came here for the second son of the Fang family?"
Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "That's right. The matchmaker praised him so much that she almost promised that the second young master of the Fang family would win the first prize in the imperial examination this year."
Mo Tao suddenly realized, "No wonder the Left Assistant Minister praised me so much, it turns out he was trying to show his goodwill to me. This means my career is promising."
"This is all thanks to Princess Yu." Xue suggested, "Let me say that instead of counting on your elder brother, it is better to curry favor with Princess Yu."
Mo Tao didn't dare to hold out any hope for Mo Yun, but he had no choice before, and this was already his greatest hope.
The situation is different now. Mo Zhaohua took the initiative to win them over and found such a good marriage for Mo Shuhua.
Mo Tao was moved, "Madam is right, Princess Yu is young and easy to coax, we can make good use of her."
Xue said, "Once the marriage is decided, I will send Shuhua to Prince Yu's mansion and use the excuse of serving her to get close to Princess Yu."
Mo Tao praised her endlessly, "Madam is truly worthy of being my good wife. I will let Madam decide and arrange these matters."
Xue was recognized and smiled even more happily, "Okay, I will report to the matchmaker tomorrow. The master agrees to this marriage."
Mo Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard this. "You knew that I had been waiting for the matchmaker to come to discuss marriage, why haven't you agreed yet?"
"For such a big matter, the master has to make the decision." Xue explained, "The master must not lose face at any time."
Mo Tao understood, "Madam is really thoughtful. If you had agreed at that time, it would have made people suspect that I knew about this matter."
***
The next afternoon.
Chu Xuanchi came back from work and went to the backyard of the palace.
Mo Zhaohua helped him change his clothes, "Fang family has finally taken action, my plan has come true."
Chu Xuanchi stood up while holding onto the table. "I guess they saw that I had gained real power and were afraid that someone would get there first."
"So that's how it is. I still have to rely on my husband." In fact, Mo Zhaohua had already guessed this was the reason.
Chu Xuanchi changed into his regular clothes and practiced walking, "I also want to rely on Zhao Zhao, both for this leg and for my life."
Mo Zhaohua did not help him, but just observed from the side, "My husband is standing more steadily now, and his movements are larger."
Chu Xuanchi moved his steps slightly, "With you, the princess with the divine doctor, here, it's hard for me not to stand up, and it's only a matter of time before I can walk."
"My husband must be having a lot of inconveniences on duty now, right?" Mo Zhaohua was afraid that he would be wronged in the Inspection Department.
Chu Xuanchi didn't care much. "It's okay. I'm used to it anyway. Besides, Wuying is here with me. He helped me a lot."
Mo Zhaohua asked again, "Have the other people in the Inspection Department talked about my husband in private? Or are they dissatisfied and trying to trip him up?"
"Of course there will be discussions, but just ignore them." Chu Xuanchi said, "As for convincing them, that's what I'm doing now."
Mo Zhaohua said firmly: "I believe that my husband will be able to handle this job and give a slap in the face to those who doubt and despise my husband."
Chu Xuanchi suddenly let go of the table, turned to Mo Zhaohua, and even walked towards her, "Zhao Zhao..."
"How can you let go? Be careful not to fall." Mo Zhaohua was standing nearby. Seeing this, he hurried forward and stretched out his hand to help him up.
Unexpectedly, Chu Xuanchi took a small step forward, and instead of holding her hand, he put his arm around her waist, with his center of gravity falling on her.
He looked down at the person in his arms, "I usually don't do things without confidence, so I'm holding you. How does it feel?"
Mo Zhaohua was angry and amused, "My husband is too messy. You can't put too much pressure on your legs now, it will be counterproductive."
Chu Xuanchi lowered his eyes, full of affection, "Call me Mu Chi..."
"Why?" These two words have special meanings, and Mo Zhaohua was embarrassed to say them out loud.
"I want to hear that, since the royal family members don't take courtesy names, this courtesy name will belong exclusively to Zhao Zhao from now on."
"Okay!" Mo Zhaohua looked up at him and called softly, "Mu Chi..."
