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."
Mu Rousang did not find out anything unexpected, all these years, Yang Zixuan seemed to have a gentle personality, but very few people knew that he would turn his hand behind his back, and the scheme that he used was truly insidious, and not worth his life.
"Sister-in-law was a little strange these few days, either during the holidays or during the banquet, or when she was busy moving some of the old stuff into her own little courtyard, and then returning them after another two or three days. It was really strange, and had also been out twice recently, and his behavior was extremely weird."
Yang Zixuan indifferently swept his gaze across the courtyard. He first turned to Xia Yu who was waiting at the side and said, "Go and tell Chun Yan that in the future, don't mess around in the courtyard with those crude women and lass."
Hearing his orders, Xia Yu immediately went to the kitchen to look for Chun Yun and recounted what Yang Zixuan had said to him. "Mother Chun Yan, is young master angry?"
He lowered his voice and said, "No, Young Master has always been a good person to talk to, it's just that there are too many people in the courtyard, you masters have to pay more attention to everything that is said. You servants need to be more attentive as well, seeing that there is that old woman coming towards us, you guys didn't wait for our masters' orders, you just have to drive those people out first."
Xia Yu did not mention anything else.
When Mu Rousang saw that the Wives s had scattered, he smiled and said: "I sent you out in the morning, and not long after returning to the courtyard, Xia Chan came to tell me, in these few days Huan Er went out again twice, every time she brought a big box with him. I don't know what she brought with him, but she suspected that sister-in-law was secretly selling Young's's property."
Yang Zixuan said unhappily: "I have some thoughts on this matter, if it is done, we can split it up later."
Mu Rousang could roughly guess what she wanted to say, and laughed: "Can we really split it?"
I have already ordered some people to arrange a meeting with him. Just that, I can't let other people know about this anymore, at that time, I will act according to the circumstances, and dare to steal and sell my Young's assets, hmph! I must be tired of living. "
Mu Rousang thought about her promise to Xing Er, and said: "Husband, it seems like the truth is about to come out, do not forget your promise later."
Yang Zixuan thought for a moment, then said: "I still remember this matter, but it will be easier to handle after I see the people doing it, furthermore, father will be home by then!"
Mu Rousang pondered, could she secretly transport her Echinacea lanceolata Maxim furniture over to that mansion?
Looking at her distracted expression, he said in amusement, "Put that little idea of yours away first. Don't let Grandmother know you're sad."
She thought about it and decided to give up.
After tormenting himself for a few days, it was finally the fifteenth of the sixth month. Early in the morning, Yang Zixuan changed into a set of inconspicuous casual clothes and rushed to the White Jade Temple. Only he had the identity of being the son of the Prince Chung and thus, the guards kept their eyes open and did not question him.
Mu Rousang did not have patience for anything, even the usual naughty girl had been thrown to the side. The women in the courtyard and the lass s all looked at her, not knowing how to hold their breath, carefully doing what they were doing.
When it was time for the light to shine, Yang Zixuan finally returned. Mu Rousang anxiously welcomed him and wanted to ask how things were going, but seeing that Yang Zixuan's face was darker than the bottom of the pot, he swallowed his question back into his stomach.
"Are you tired?" She stretched out her hand to support his arm as she smiled sweetly and said, "Wash your face in the room first. I've already ordered someone to prepare some cold water for you."
Yang Zixuan nodded his head, looking at her charming smile, his expression relaxed, and he said: "En, quickly get someone to make me some cold tea, I am exhausted."
Mu Rousang found it funny. Men were like this sometimes, extremely arrogant and spoiled, requiring her to put on a long face to be able to keep a peaceful face.
"Of course I'm ready!"
Only, Yang Zixuan did not know that Mu Rousang would not care about someone who tried to scheme against him. "But my heart is not comfortable, if grandmother knew, I wonder how angry she would be. After all, the Yang family never mistreated her, and even though big brother was a little out of control, he never had the thought of pampering his concubine to exterminate her."
"Didn't you always want to separate? However, there are grandmother, father, and mother lying on top. You are a new daughter-in-law, and I am of the younger generation, so it would be inappropriate for me to bring this matter up.
Although Yang Zixuan did not say much, he had always been thinking of the things that Mu Rousang had said about splitting the clan earlier. It was just that he had only now found the appropriate opportunity.
Mu Rousang was overjoyed. Although Matriarch Yang doted her a lot, there was a condition to it, and it was unlike Old Madam Zuo and his who truly held her in their hands and felt pain from the bottom of their hearts.
"Really? Husband, we have to agree that after I move to my new residence, I will bring Grandmother over to live with me. "
How could Yang Zixuan not know what he was thinking? As he was old and had a poor memory, if Mu Rousang was less, Old Madam Zuo would not be able to recognize her. He had to be reminded by others before he could remember.
He pinched her little nose and laughed: "I'll listen to you. You'll be my Owner Mother in no time, and there will be no in-laws watching you, so I'll show you my face, and you can go out and play whenever you want, and set up a house to invite your big brother, sister-in-law, and your relatives. I'll just follow you, but after staying at home for so long, your husband is worried that he'll sully you."
