Chapter 764 Sending Qiu Wan'er Away!
When Duanmu Chuze returned and heard that Mu Xinnuan had gone to the Mu residence, but Qiu Wan'er had not left, he was immediately confused. What was going on?
Chunyu told him everything she had found out.
Duanmu Chuze gritted his teeth in anger, "Which bastard said I was going to the other courtyard? Did a donkey kick Qiu Wan'er in the head?"
"Your Highness, the most important thing right now is to think about how to make the Crown Princess happy. You haven't even stayed at the Eastern Palace for a single day, and the Crown Princess has already gone back to her parents' home. If the Empress finds out, I'm afraid the Crown Princess will be in for a scolding."
Duanmu Chuze then remembered that his mother had previously asked Anuan to help him select a concubine.
"Alright, send Qiu Wan'er to the Chu residence, and send a message to Princess Jing, telling her the truth about the situation here. How she settles Qiu Wan'er is her business."
"But Your Highness, Princess Jing has only just finished her postpartum confinement, hasn't she?"
"Alright, she's already out of confinement, what could possibly happen? Besides, she's a princess, and isn't this lonely and helpless Miss Qiu the one she should be taking care of?"
"Yes, then this servant will make arrangements immediately."
After giving his instructions, Duanmu Chuze walked out. "Tell Aunt Fang that I'm going to the Mu residence. I won't be back tonight. If anyone asks, just say that my mother-in-law is unwell, and the Crown Princess is worried and is going to take care of her personally."
"Yes, Your Highness."
After Chunyu agreed, she asked somewhat bewilderedly, "But Your Highness, the Crown Princess is attending to the sick, what are you doing at the Mu residence?"
Duanmu Chuze certainly wouldn't hear that, as he was already outside the gate.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince has arrived."
Mu Xin Nuan's already somewhat awkward expression became even more awkward now.
"What is he doing here? Didn't he say he was going to the other courtyard? Why is he here at our Mu family's residence?"
Li pinched her lightly, "You child, what nonsense are you talking about again?"
“Mother, I’m not talking nonsense. That’s just how it is. Since he said he would bring her back to the capital, let him take care of her himself. Mother, you don’t know, the moment we met, she called herself my concubine. Do I need to tell you what she’s thinking?”
Madam Li frowned slightly. "The Crown Prince is a man, how would he know about these troubles? Men are careless, otherwise, why would they need to marry a woman to manage the household?"
“Mother-in-law is right, Nuan, did you hear that? This matter cannot be entirely blamed on me.”
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Nuan Nuan is still angry with me. If you kneel down again, she will definitely ignore me."
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at him sideways, but didn't say anything.
"Come, sit down. There's no rush to say anything."
"Thank you very much, Mother-in-law."
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, then walked out without a second thought.
Duanmu Chuze didn't stop her, knowing that this was Jinyuan, his mother-in-law's courtyard, and he naturally couldn't do too much here.
"I'm sorry to have troubled my mother-in-law. It was all my fault for not thinking things through and that made Anuan angry. Don't worry, I'll go and coax her in a bit. Anyway, she misses you, so we'll stay at your place tonight. Is that convenient?"
Lady Li was taken aback. She wanted to say that it was inconvenient, but looking at the Crown Prince's gentle and kind smile, she really couldn't say anything.
Duanmu Chuze caught up with Mu Xinnuan in her courtyard, but as soon as he entered the gate, Mu Hua stuffed Zong Hua into his arms.
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess said that the young prince misses you, so she requests that you play with him for a while."
"Where is the Crown Princess?"
"The Crown Princess is tired and is taking a nap in the inner room right now."
Duanmu Chuze glanced at Xiao Zonghua in his arms and shook his head. "Let's go, Daddy will take you for a walk in the back garden."
Mu Xin Nuan was really sleepy.
Last night, she cried for a while, and then she was so upset that she couldn't fall asleep. When she learned that it was quiet outside, her heart was in turmoil even more.
She wanted Duanmu Chuze to make some noise outside, but she also really didn't want to see him.
In short, it's quite contradictory.
I tossed and turned like this until late at night before I could finally close my eyes.
I was woken up again this morning by Xiao Zonghua's antics.
Now that I'm back home and have seen Duanmu Chuze again, I feel at ease and fell asleep quickly.
Mu Xin Nuan slept for more than an hour.
Mu Xin Nuan felt something rubbing against her face. She reached out and slapped it twice, but instead of hitting it, she was restrained.
At first, Mu Xin Nuan thought she was dreaming, but then she felt something warm on her lips and suddenly opened her eyes.
"woke up?"
Mu Xin Nuan was still a little dazed. When she saw Duanmu Chu Ze, her first reaction was that nothing serious had happened and that her husband was there.
But then I realized something was wrong.
His eyes widened immediately. "Where's Zonghua?"
"It's with my mother-in-law, don't worry, it won't get lost."
Mu Xin Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, her reaction displeased Duanmu Chuze.
So, does she only have one son in her heart?
So what about his son's father? Is he unimportant? Dispensable?
"Anuan, I didn't sleep a wink last night. How could you be so heartless as to have me locked out? Do you really not want me as your husband anymore?"
Mu Xin Nuan finally came to her senses. "How did you get in here? Get out!"
"How can that be? Don't worry, I know this is the Mu family home, and I won't do anything reckless. I'm just a little sleepy. I really didn't sleep a wink last night. Please, just let me lie here for a while, okay?"
Mu Xin Nuan's face turned cold. "Fine, you stay here and I'll go out and wash up."
"No! How can I sleep if you leave?"
"What do you mean?" Mu Xin Nuan blushed.
"I already told you, I just wanted to hold you and sleep for a while."
Mu Xin Nuan took a closer look and found that there was indeed a patch of blue shadow under his eyes. She realized that he hadn't had a proper rest since returning from the border.
Even an iron man couldn't withstand that kind of back and forth.
Her heart softened, and she stopped moving, letting him hold her. The two lay down together, and Mu Xin Nuan, having taken a nap, was naturally no longer sleepy.
But Duanmu Chuze was really sleepy.
He fell into a deep sleep in no time, and Mu Xin Nuan lay on her side watching him. Soon after, she felt her eyelids getting heavy and fell asleep as well.
The two slept until it was time for dinner before waking up.
"Reporting to Miss, Master has returned. I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived and is waiting in the study."
