Chapter 320 Deliberately Making Things Difficult!
"I understand, don't worry, I'll be careful."
Duanmu Chuze knew that she might have many things to consider, but he couldn't care less. In his eyes, Mu Xin Nuan was the most important person. Other people, or rather, other interests, were not as important as a single hair on Mu Xin Nuan's head!
"Anuan, should I come up with a way to get Mu Xinyao married off first?"
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. "What nonsense are you talking about? She's only thirteen and hasn't even had her coming-of-age ceremony yet. How could she possibly be getting married?"
"Don't worry, as long as you agree, I naturally have a way. This way, she won't always be under the same roof as you, and it won't be so easy for her to scheme against you. Moreover, it's also to prevent her from becoming Ming Wang's lackey again."
"Your so-called method?"
"Don't ask me anything yet, I just want to know if you agree or not?"
After thinking it over, Mu Xin Nuan realized that it was indeed somewhat dangerous for Mu Xin Yao to stay in the Mu residence any longer.
If it weren't for the incident with the Prince Ming, perhaps her mind wouldn't have become so twisted. Considering Xu Huilan's fate, Mu Xinyao's subsequent tactics would likely be even more ruthless.
"Alright, but there's one thing: we must not damage the Mu family's reputation, and we must not cause trouble for Father."
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing. After all, he's my future father-in-law; how could I not know what's important?"
Mu Xin Nuan blushed and glared at him, "You're talking nonsense again."
Duanmu Chuze smiled, loosened his grip on her waist slightly, and then reached out to smooth her hair on both sides. Later, he simply wrapped a small strand of her hair around his fingertips and played with it.
"Do you still have any concerns?"
Although Mu Xin Nuan didn't say anything, Duanmu Chu Ze could tell that she had something on her mind, and it wasn't hard to tell from her eyes that it was probably quite a problem.
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes flickered. "The Mu residence has not been cleaned for quite some time."
At those words, Duanmu Chuze's hand paused slightly, his eyes turning cold. "Could it be that the Ming King's men have infiltrated?"
Mu Xin Nuan nodded and recounted the story of the little maid and the head maid of the laundry room.
"Since we're going to start cleaning up, we have to do it all at once. And we can't let Prince Ming see any flaws, lest he get the idea to keep stuffing people into the Mu residence."
"What are you going to do?"
"Simple!"
Mu Xin Nuan shifted her body, intending to break free from his embrace, but although he loosened his grip a bit, he still wouldn't let her escape. Helpless, Mu Xin Nuan could only let him hold her like that, and then turned her body to make herself more comfortable against the ground.
"I have already had Mu Qing and Mu Hua go through all the servants in this mansion. It's perfectly normal for servants in wealthy families to occasionally make mistakes, be punished, and then be kicked out of the mansion."
"Kick them all out?" Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow.
"Of course not! I left a few less important ones out in the open, so that other people's spies are constantly in front of me, becoming a bright and obvious pawn. I want to see what other tricks they can come up with."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chuze chuckled twice. "My Ah Nuan is indeed clever! In this way, the Ming King will not realize that you are deliberately eliminating his spies. Instead, he will think that you are going to give them important positions. He will probably be overjoyed."
Mu Xin Nuan also smiled and said, "Yes. If we kick them all out, it will cause a lot of trouble. At best, rumors will spread that the master of the Mu family mistreats the servants, saying that the eldest daughter of the Mu family is gentle on the surface but actually mean-spirited. At worst, Prince Ming will realize my intentions and spare no effort to send people in again. You know, Prince Ming's methods are not something we can refuse."
"That's why I said my Anuan is smart!" Duanmu Chuze smiled even more smugly, as if Mu Xinnuan's intelligence was his own. The smugness in his eyes made people want to ask him if he was being too exaggerated.
"This matter is easier said than done. It won't be accomplished in a day or two. It will take at least half a month from start to finish. Otherwise, if the action is too big, it will arouse suspicion."
"Yes. I believe in Ah Nuan's abilities in this matter."
"Then tell me now, how do you plan to get Mu Xinyao married off as soon as possible?"
A strange light flashed in Duanmu Chuze's eyes. "Um, Anuan, before that, could you promise me something?"
"what?"
"Please prepare a sample of the medication for me."
"What medicine?" Mu Xin Nuan became curious. Since Duanmu Chu Ze had Ping An Tang under his command, he would naturally have many doctors, even famous ones. Why would he need her to prescribe any medicine?
After Duanmu Chuze whispered a few words in her ear, Mu Xin Nuan was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She reached out and pushed him away, scolding him, "How could you be so shameless?"
I gave it a push, of course nothing will happen!
At least she is still in Duanmu Chuze's arms.
"Anuan, how am I shameless? I was just trying to help him. I'm doing this to help others achieve their goals."
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him. "Doing a good deed for others?"
If he were truly that kind of person, then there would be no one in the world with bad intentions!
"Tell me first, who is this medicine for? Also, why don't you go to Ping An Tang and ask those apprentice pharmacists to prepare it for you?"
Duanmu Chuze grinned mischievously, "Because I'm the one who's going to administer this medicine myself. And things that I use myself should naturally be prepared by you, my fiancée!"
"Stop it! Tell me, who exactly is this for? And what does this have to do with Mu Xinyao getting married so early?"
Duanmu Chuze saw that she was blushing a little, but she deliberately didn't say anything. "Anuan, don't worry about who I gave it to. I just want to ask you, how long will it take to make it?"
"Well," Mu Xin Nuan bit her lip and thought for a moment, "it will take at least two days."
"Okay, then. Two days. I'll come pick it up myself later."
"You're not going to give it to the Ming King, are you?" Mu Xin Nuan asked, her eyes wide.
Unexpectedly, Duanmu Chuze lightly tapped her on the head, saying, "What are you thinking? No matter what, he is still my second brother. How could I do this?"
Seeing his mischievous look, which didn't seem like he was lying, Mu Xin Nuan could only pout and say, "Fine, I won't tell you then. What's the big deal?"
"Okay, Nuan, there's something else I want to discuss with you."
"what?"
"The Emperor's decree for the marriage will be issued soon. Is there anything you particularly want? I'll ask the Emperor for it directly then! Of course, if it's not very precious, I'll just go to the Inner Palace and get it myself."
