Chapter 828 Things Have Gone Wrong!
At least, Duanmu Chuze was right about one thing.
That is, Mu Qingxuan did indeed have suspicions about Chu Yan. In fact, it wasn't just suspicion; he had even begun to suspect the fourth young master of the Xie family.
Duanmu Chuze's men were keeping a close watch from the shadows, observing Chu Yan while also secretly monitoring Mu Qingxuan's reaction.
"Reporting to you, young master, this is a letter sent by a young lady. What do you think?"
Mu Qingxuan looked up and saw it was his pageboy. He chuckled and said, "Bring it here."
"Yes, son."
Mu Qingxuan opened the letter and read it carefully. It was a letter urging him to help her break off the engagement as soon as possible. Moreover, the letter mentioned that her mother had gone to the Chu residence the day before and seemed to dislike her very much.
If Mu Qingxuan had only doubted Chu Yan's words before, now he is basically certain.
He knew his mother better than anyone.
My mother came from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. The upbringing she received from childhood was not the best in the entire capital, but it was definitely from a truly prestigious family. In addition, the Mu family's traditions were inherently somewhat aloof. Therefore, even if my mother disliked someone, she would never take the initiative to mention her.
Because for a mother, this is a way of degrading herself.
Even when Song committed so many evil deeds, her mother rarely mentioned her in public.
Therefore, this time, it can only be said that Chu Yan didn't understand his mother at all, which is why he wrote such stupid things.
"Young master, would you like me to reserve a superior private room outside?"
Mu Qingxuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Hmm, let's do it the day after tomorrow. Tell Chu Yan that the day after tomorrow will be the last time I see her, and that I'm about to leave the capital."
"Yes, son."
Mu Qingxuan wasn't lying; he really was leaving the capital. Even if he didn't want to leave, the Prince Ming's heir had to go.
"Someone, go and find a way to lure Young Master Xie to this place."
"Yes, son."
Mu Qingxuan first told Chu Yan that they would meet at Taihe Restaurant, while the place to lure Xie Si was Fugui Restaurant.
On the day of their meeting, Mu Qingxuan notified Chu Yan at the last minute that he had discovered her father had gone to Taihe Restaurant, so the meeting place was changed to Fugui Restaurant.
Chu Yan naturally had no objection to this.
Of course, she didn't think much of it, believing that her charm was irresistible. At this point, Mu Qingxuan had already become her devoted follower.
Because she knew he was leaving the capital, Chu Yan dressed up especially carefully and beautifully that day.
After she met Xie Si before, Xie Si gave her a suggestion: no matter what, she should find a way to stick with Mu Qingxuan.
This man's future prospects will likely surpass those of his father. If he can marry into the Mu family, even as a concubine, his future will surely be smooth sailing and filled with endless glory.
Chu Yan was actually persuaded by those words.
In fact, these past few months of living under someone else's roof have really made her experience some bitterness.
Although Madam Chu had not treated the mother and her two children poorly, there was still a difference in their treatment.
Chu Yan didn't blame Madam Chu. After all, they were distant relatives, and even if Madam Chu refused to help them, there was nothing they could do.
I am already very grateful to General Chu for arranging a place for me.
Of course, as time went on, this gratitude turned into resentment in Chu Yan's heart!
While lamenting the injustice of fate, she also constantly hoped that the Chu family would suffer misfortune.
Why do all the bad luck happen to their family?
Why is it that even though they are all from the Chu family, Chu Rong and his sister get to live such a good life?
After Chu Yan learned that the location had changed, she gave her maid a wink, and the maid understood and immediately went out.
When the maid returned and whispered a few words in Chu Yan's ear, Chu Yan smiled, seemingly with a hint of shyness in her expression.
After Mu Qingxuan met Chu Yan in a private room at Fugui Building, he only exchanged a few words before he felt dizzy.
In a daze, he seemed to see Chu Yan's smug smile, with a cunning glint in her eyes.
As luck would have it, on this day, the heir of Prince Su was accompanying his sister to go shopping. They got tired from walking and didn't want to go back to the mansion for a meal, so they went straight into this Fugui Restaurant.
The two had eaten about 80% of their fill when they heard what sounded like noise outside.
Upon listening closely, Duanmu Qing's expression changed!
"I heard that the eldest son of the Mu family is drinking with a distant relative of the Chu family inside the house."
"How could that be? The eldest son of the Mu family is always very proper. How could he possibly be having a secret rendezvous with a woman? You must have seen wrong."
"How could I be mistaken? Didn't you see the Mu family's carriage parked outside?"
Duanmu Qing didn't know where she got the courage, but she went straight to the window, opened it, and saw that there really was a carriage from the Mu family parked underneath.
Suddenly, Duanmu Qing felt as if her world was about to collapse, and she swayed, unable to stand.
The Prince Su's heir had also heard about her marriage to Mu Qingxuan, and upon hearing this news, he was naturally furious!
"This Mu Qingxuan is truly outrageous! The two families are clearly discussing marriage, yet he still manages to do such a thing."
"Brother, don't go!"
The Crown Prince of Su yanked her hand away. "Even now you still want to protect him? You still think this kind of man is your ideal husband? He's already had an affair with another woman before even getting married. You still want to marry this kind of man?"
Duanmu Qing's face paled even more, and she bit her lip tightly, speechless for a moment.
The Crown Prince of Su snorted coldly, vaguely sensing that something was amiss.
When he lifted the curtain and came out, he saw that the second-floor corridor was packed with onlookers.
There were men and women, and judging from their clothing, there were both rich and poor.
"What's going on? What are you all doing here?"
Those people didn't recognize him and whispered, "Shh! Keep your voice down, there's a live sex show going on in there right now. I heard it's a distant niece from General Chu's mansion. Tsk tsk, young master, didn't you hear that seductive moaning? So alluring!"
Chu family?
It's that orphaned girl from the Chu family again. So, that man must be Mu Qingxuan.
Duanmu Qing also came out at this time. She saw that the private room not far away was crowded with men, both old and young, and some women were standing in the corridor at a distance, seemingly whispering something.
"Brother, let's go."
The Prince Su's heir was unwilling to leave, and with a flick of his sleeve, he declared, "I won't leave! I want to see how the Mu family explains themselves to our royal residence!"
