Chapter 333 As long as she is happy
The ambiguous atmosphere outside the door continued in the flower hall.
Xu Rongrong and Mu Rong sat opposite each other, neither of them spoke.
The flower hall has always been where Mu Rong and his generals hold meetings, and the tables and chairs there are taller than those in ordinary homes.
Xu Rongrong was a little embarrassed:
The ox-horn chair in the mansion was too high for her. When she sat in it, her feet couldn't even touch the ground...
Watching the little girl stretching out her toes and tapping the ground lightly as she continued to explore, Mu Rong smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up without saying a word.
There was a subtle aura emanating from him, as if the silence between him and Xu Rongrong was quite interesting, and they would not tolerate anyone else disturbing them.
This feeling made Mu Yi, who came in to serve tea, feel uncomfortable. After he hurriedly placed the tea, he immediately left.
By the way, he waved his hand and drove away the servants of the marquis' mansion who were waiting outside.
Xu Rongrong took a sip of tea. Then she remembered something and asked, "The white tea in Prince Ning's mansion... can you find out the reason?"
Mu Rong nodded: "Indeed, Wei Shi has changed his mind."
"Then how does King Ning plan to deal with him?" Xu Rongrong asked.
"Let's wait and see... He's sworn to be loyal to Concubine Wei until his death. To be able to make him turn against her and frame my third brother, I'm sure the promises made to him are not something that ordinary people can afford."
"So the Marquis and Prince Ning are just waiting to see what happens?"
Mu Rong nodded. "Since Third Brother opened his office and built his palace, countless people from various factions have been crammed into this vast palace. As a result, our plans have always been kept secret within the palace, and Third Brother has never told anyone. So no matter what those behind the scenes want to know, they have no evidence." He smiled and looked at the girl in front of him. "To be honest, if it weren't for Rongrong's carefulness, Third Brother and I would have been in danger long ago without even realizing it..."
Xu Rongrong blushed a little at what he said: "Maybe it was destined. If Sister Mu hadn't invited me to drink Moonlight White, I'm afraid we would still be in the dark."
Mu Rong used his fingertips to push the cake on the table in front of Xu Rongrong: "Rongrong, don't be so modest. This is a reward for you."
Xu Rongrong: "..."
This is totally unnecessary.
"Rongrong came here alone today, I believe she is not just here to inquire about the follow-up of the Ning Wang Mansion?" No matter how happy he was, Mu Rong was not the kind of person who liked to daydream. He knew that if there was nothing wrong, the little girl in front of him would never step into the Marquis' Mansion alone.
Seeing Mu Rong asking, Xu Rongrong nodded truthfully:
"Two things indeed."
"Earlier, I was poisoned by the Ice Sealing Poison and was worried that I would not live long, so I asked you to go to the government office to retrieve the indentures of Wen Yao and Luo Shu. Does you still remember this?"
According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a servant's indenture was held by the master and the government. If the master wanted to retrieve the servant's indenture, he had to go to the government in person to sign and seal it. However, Xu Rongrong was so ill that she could hardly get out of bed, so she could only feel at ease if she asked Mu Rong to come forward.
Mu Rong naturally remembered this, because he had kept the two indentures in his study.
Seeing him nod, Xu Rongrong said bluntly, "So I came here today to take back their indentures."
Mu Rong raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Then why did Rongrong come to see me now?"
Xu Rongrong responded subconsciously: "Of course it's because..."
But when she got to this point, she immediately stopped talking.
Mu Rong smiled and continued, "Of course it's because Rongrong is getting married soon, so she wants to give those two girls freedom before she gets married?" Xu Rongrong: "..."
She knew she was being teased again and her face turned red with anger.
Seeing that she was about to get angry, Mu Rong quickly took out the small box he had brought from the study and said, "When I heard that you came alone today, I knew you were here for this matter... Here are the two contracts. Please take a look."
He smiled and handed over the indentures of Wen Yao and Luo Shu.
Xu Rongrong took it carefully, raised her head and met Mu Rong's eyes full of teasing: "No one knows Rongrong better than me, Mu Rong."
Since the two deeds were well preserved, Xu Rongrong didn't intend to argue with him, so she responded as if she didn't understand, "Thank you for your help, Lord."
Then, she put the indenture into a purse embroidered with crabapple flowers.
"Rongrong just said that there are two things happening today. I wonder what the second one is?" Mu Rong glanced at the purse, which was bulging with things, and must have contained a lot of good things.
"I wonder what your plans are for the music hall that the Marquis took me to see two days ago?"
Mu Rong looked at her with a smile: "What are my plans? Isn't it possible that Rongrong doesn't know?"
Xu Rongrong was silent for a moment and said, "My Lord once said that the purpose of rebuilding this music hall was to keep the Luo Xiao family in the capital and keep them company with me... This is exactly what I think..."
"So what does Rongrong mean?"
Xu Rongrong was choked for a moment, she didn't know how to start.
She clutched her purse tightly in both hands, with veins bulging on the back of her hands, showing her extreme distress...
Mu Rong just watched, but couldn't bear it: "Rongrong, are you planning to buy her from me?"
His purse was bulging, probably because he had a lot of banknotes.
After being pointed out by the other party, Xu Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to look up to explain, but she saw two more bills placed on the table in front of her.
Mu Rong smiled and pointed at one of them: "This is the receipt I bought from Pinyuefang Jiulefang."
Then he pointed to another one and said, "This is the receipt for the renovation of the music hall."
"The total is four hundred and fifty-three taels. If Rongrong wants to buy it, I'll charge you four hundred and fifty taels."
He finished speaking with a smile, but Xu Rongrong just stood there in a daze.
She knew that everything Mu Rong did was for her, but she didn't want to owe him too much friendship...
However, he wanted to be ahead of her in everything, and his arrangements were very thorough and thoughtful, making it impossible for her to refuse.
She had seen the disappointment in his eyes before because of the profit sharing issue of the South Suburbs Medicinal Garden, so when she came to buy the music shop today, she didn't know how to start the conversation.
Unexpectedly, he actually...thought of it all. She raised her head, looked into his eyes, and said only: "Thank you."
Mu Rong smiled and nodded, spreading his palm in front of her: "Give me the banknotes."
Xu Rongrong immediately lowered her head and started counting the banknotes.
Seeing the serious look on the little girl's face, Mu Rong raised the corner of his mouth slightly. It was impossible for him not to feel disappointed.
No one wants to see the person they love trying to separate from them.
But her hesitation just now made him feel a little happy amidst his loss.
She was probably so hesitant because she was thinking about him.
But... she is his little girl after all.
I couldn't bear to let her continue to be embarrassed, so I let him talk it out.
If she doesn't want to owe me anything, then I'll just go along with her wishes. After all, as long as she's happy, that's all that matters.
