C16 Beautiful Mistake

"Young Master Gu, did you just go to that shop to settle some business?"

This person was elegantly dressed, but his face was so pale that it caused one's heart to ache. He was just like a sickly short-lived ghost. If he didn't stay at home properly, why would he fight with her for a shop?

"I just want to open a shop so that I can find an important person."

Mu Zhihuan was so confused that she almost blurted out, "Important people?"

But Gu Mingxuan didn't seem to care at all. He calmly took a sip of tea and said, "My child and his mother."

Gu Mingxuan's tone was very indifferent the entire time, like the wind blowing past one's ears. He was dressed in white as he sat next to a pile of meat and wine, unexpectedly appearing detached from others.

What? This devilish man not only had a wife, but also a child?

Tsk tsk, you really can't judge a person by his appearance.

However, Mu Zhihuan's thoughts shifted to herself. This young body was actually the mother of a six year old child. The concept of marriage in this era really made it hard for her to accept.

"That's really hard to find. The capital city is so big."

"I'll find it." Gu Mingxuan's tone was confident. For some inexplicable reason, he gave others the feeling that he could find her.

He wasn't sure if it was just an illusion, but Mu Zhihuan seemed to think that Gu Mingxuan had glanced at him when he said he would find her.

"Then, I wish that young master can reunite with his wife and children as soon as possible." As she spoke, Mu Zhihuan used tea in place of wine to toast Gu Mingxuan.

At this moment, the sound of children crying came from downstairs. Only then did Mu Zhihuan remember that she had agreed to buy a sugar doll for Qing Ran when she came out.

Seeing that it was getting late, he secretly spat on himself as he chatted with Gu Mingxuan, hoping to forget this important matter. It really was a beautiful misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding.

"That... Young Master Gu, I'm sorry, but logically speaking, I should be accompanying you when I treat you to a meal.

Mu Zhihuan awkwardly stood up to bid farewell to Gu Mingxuan, thinking that she no longer had a good image of herself in front of him.

Inviting someone to a meal and leaving before they even finished their meal was really a huge deduction.

"It's fine. Next time, choose a clear day and I'll come and invite Miss Zhihuan."

Mu Zhihuan politely replied, "It's a deal!" But he didn't leave his address.

What kind of joke was this? For a man with a wife and children, no matter how much of a monster he looked, she wouldn't have any interest in him.

After exiting the restaurant, Mu Zhihuan hurriedly bought some things before rushing back to the manor.

When she appeared at the gates of the Prince Li's manor, she happened to run into Jiang Zisu who had just returned.

"What are you doing?" Jiang ZiSu glared at Mu Zhihuan with disdain.

If he had known, he would have gone through the back door. He actually met this jinx.

"Reporting to your highness, this is the item I bought for Ran Er."

Mu Zhihuan cast a sidelong glance at the sugar figurine, rattle, and kite in her hands, as well as revealing the corners of her new clothes.

Jiang Zisu's eyelids twitched. He still vividly remembered the last time she cried in front of all the servants in the mansion that she had no money to buy clothes for Jiang Qinggran.

She had thought that she was playing some tricks and had purposefully dressed up badly for Jiang Qing Ran to gain her sympathy.

But from the looks of it now, it seemed that she and Jiang Qing were really living a poor life?

Jiang Zisu frowned, his tone was still stiff. "Didn't I give you clothes?" Why are you buying it outside? "

Mu Zhihuan madly rolled her eyes. Don't you feel a little pressured if you don't put it aside?

How dare a mere imperial concubine take advantage of her abilities? Isn't it just you, a scum of a man, that allowed her to eat and wear?

What are you pretending to be a big tailed wolf for!

"Your Highness, I'm afraid that you won't be able to ask me about this. I'll have to ask your darling. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. Ran Er is still waiting for you to put on some new clothes!"

After deliberately adding the words "change of clothes", Mu Zhihuan left without turning back.

Her frail and frail figure did not lose its stubbornness under the sunlight, causing Jiang Zisu to be stunned for a moment.

Since when did she have her back to him? When had she not looked at his back in dejection before?

Gu Mingxuan had changed out of his white clothes in the three-in-one courtyard of the Beijing transportation hub. His blue clothes were dyed a faint yellow under the setting sun's glow.

He drank his tea at a leisurely pace. Suddenly, the door in front of him was opened, and Mo Yi ran over to kneel in front of Gu Mingxuan with light footsteps.

"Mistress, Mu Zhihuan bought a lot of things for children in the market. Then, she went straight back to the palace and stayed with Jiang Qinggran."

Gu Mingxuan said indifferently, "How is it?"

"It's the complete opposite of what the spy said. Mu Zhihuan loves Jiang Qing very much, but her situation is the same as what the spy said. Why would she want to face the emperor outside …?" "Jiang Qing Ran is that bad?"

Mo Yi's brows furrowed together. What made him even more confused was that when Mu Zhihuan had been teased on the street, his mistress had recognized her at a single glance. She was the person his master had been looking for.

Gu Mingxuan seemed to have seen through his confusion, as he poured himself a cup of tea. "Didn't you see the ring-shaped jade pendant at her waist?"
