After a brief discussion with Prince Mu, Mu Chuyang went to his room. These days, because of these extremely ridiculous rumors, Prince's Wife Mo had become a lot more haggard.
Before even entering the Prince's Wife Mo's room, Mu Chuyang already heard the sounds of sighs coming from within.
"Why does Mother sigh?"
Hearing that Mu Chuyang had come, Prince's Wife Mo secretly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes.
No matter what, Prince's Wife Mo had followed Prince Mu to the border for three years, and had seen the blood and gales on the battlefield. Furthermore, Prince's Wife Mo was born in a handsome general's residence, so she was definitely a weak woman who only knew how to cry when things happened. But this concerned Mu Chuyang. Hearing his own child being criticized so harshly, Prince's Wife Mo could not help but feel sad.
Your royal father said earlier that he had something he needed to discuss with you. When you came back, did you see your royal father? Prince Mu only mentioned it to Prince's Wife Mo, and did not tell him what he wanted to talk about with Mu Chuyang. If Prince's Wife Mo knew that the culprit behind this was Eighth Prince, he would definitely be furious.
Mu Chuyang walked to the Prince's Wife Mo and massaged his shoulders.
"I have already met my royal father, so mother need not worry. The mother has not told the child what she was sighing about. "
Actually, Mu Chuyang already had an answer in his heart. In all these years, other than the matters regarding Prince Mu and Mu Chuyang, how could Prince's Wife Mo be so worried?
Mu Chuyang remembered that the last time Prince's Wife Mo was so worried and dejected was when they were fighting. At that time, Yuwen Di sent his Prince Mu to lead the troops to the battlefield, and that fierce battle lasted for a full seven days. During those seven days, not a single word came out from the front lines.
When he led his troops to war, Prince Mu would worry about the Prince's Wife Mo at home and would send back a letter every three days. However, that time, Prince's Wife Mo had waited for seven whole days and still had not received a letter from Prince Mu.
In a blink of an eye, so many years had passed, but now, because of a piece of gossip, Mu Chuyang's most beloved mother worried for him.
"It's just that I feel that I'm too old to be afraid of the cold." Just like how Mu Chuyang was worried about Prince's Wife Mo's feelings, Prince's Wife Mo was also unwilling to let Mu Chuyang think too much into it, so he casually found an excuse.
"Mother is truly overthinking. A beauty like you is not old at all. If we walk on the streets, I'm afraid that everyone will think that you are my son's elder sister."
"Child, you are truly speaking nonsense." Although Prince's Wife Mo talked about Mu Chuyang, it was like he had eaten honey in his heart. Although Prince Mu talked about Mu Chuyang every single day, it was completely different when it came out of his mouth.
"Didn't you enter the palace today? Did Thirteenth Princess hear those unclean words? " Thinking about it, Mu Chuyang and his marriage was really not that easy either, that's why Prince's Wife Mo thought that Mu Chuyang would finally be able to see the light of day, but who would have thought that such rumors would actually appear?
"Seeing Yun Fei's appearance, I don't think I know about this. This is good as well, it is unnecessary for Yun Fei to know about this."
"You really are a silly child."
If one were to say that they didn't feel any heartache, they would be lying to themselves. Mu Chuyang had done so much for Duan Yunfei and endured so much. As her mother, Prince's Wife Mo felt extremely pained for her. Prince's Wife Mo only hoped that this storm would pass as soon as possible and Mu Chuyang and Duan Yunfei would be together for life.
After leaving Prince's Wife Mo's room, Mu Chuyang went out of the house by himself. On the way, he also heard some gossip, which was really unpleasant.
"Waiter, as usual." When Mu Chuyang arrived at Jade House, he asked the waiter to serve them wine and food as usual.
"Why is Young Prince Mu here today?" After Mu Chuyang came in, many people turned to look at him, and even discussed the marriage between Duan Yunfei and Mu Chuyang in a low voice. The waiter knew that was only a rumor, but was worried that Mu Chuyang would be in a bad mood after hearing these words.
"This King is in a good mood today, so let's have a drink."
Mu Chuyang gulped down a cup of wine and continued, "All of you, you have no idea how difficult this duke's marriage is."
Everyone present did not expect Mu Chuyang to suddenly be angry at them, and was shocked.
"This king has adored the Thirteenth Princess for many years, and it was not easy for me to wait until the age of 30 for the Thirteenth Princess to finally tell her the things in my heart. Your Majesty, who are you? How can you, because of the reputation of the Prince Mu's Mansion, betroth your most beloved princess to this king? "It's really ridiculous."
The rumors stopped at the Wise, and Mu Chuyang knew that his words might not change anything, rather, he might lose face for Prince Mu's Mansion. But when he thought about how Prince's Wife Mo was sighing secretly, Mu Chuyang could not hold back anymore.
If this was really done by the Eighth Prince, even if Mu Chuyang wanted to retaliate, even if Yuwen Di punished the Eighth Prince, with the kindness that the Imperial Consort Yun had received, Yuwen Di would probably treat the Eighth Prince lightly.
Right now, the only thing Mu Chuyang could do was to tell his the truth.
"This king and Thirteenth Princess are mutual lovers." Mu Chuyang replied loudly. After that, he went back upstairs and drank his wine, not caring about the reaction of the people.
"You see, I've already said that this matter is definitely not as what the rumors say, yet you all still don't believe me."
"Heh, you are clearly the most enthusiastic at what you just said. Why do you still take it as a hindrance?"
"You're talking nonsense, I have always supported Young Prince Mu."
The waiter looked at the chattering crowd and shook his head.
At this moment, such a voice came from the crowd. That person did not seem to mind that it was not too big. It stirred up another wave on the surface of the water that had finally calmed down.
"Young Prince Mu said that he and Thirteenth Princess are mutual lovers, and that they share mutual feelings. However, Young Prince Mu said those words himself, so who knows what he is thinking?"
After all, marriage was between two people. From what Mu Chuyang had said alone, they weren't sure if they were truly in love or not, and to prove it, they still needed Duan Yunfei's explanation.
Upstairs, Mu Chuyang was attracted down and heard these words.
"Don't you think that what This King said doesn't count? This King has plenty of ways to prove to you that everything This King said was true. "
Mu Chuyang had drank a lot, and was a little drunk now, so he took the chance to say some harsh words.
The crowd only watched with wide eyes, waiting for a good show. But Mu Chuyang never thought that the words he would say in anger would actually leave a gap between his and Duan Yunfei's feelings.
