Chapter 835 Her Feelings!
Mu Qingxuan suddenly felt a pang of guilt towards Princess Duanmu Qing. She was such a beautiful girl, like a lotus bud about to bloom in a lotus pond. Was it really such a terrible thing of him to want her to heal his past mistakes?
"Qing'er, I know it might be too late, but even if it's just an embroidered handkerchief you made yourself, I just hope that in Yanzhou I can remember you by looking at this object."
Mu Qingxuan's words were not entirely intended to curry favor with Duanmu Qing.
When she looked at him with her misty eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out those words.
As soon as he said it, he realized that it had been somewhat abrupt.
The two had only met a few times, so to say such things was truly a bit presumptuous.
Seeing that Duanmu Qing didn't react, Mu Qingxuan felt that his words and actions had gone too far, and hurriedly said somewhat nervously, "Um, I was just saying it casually, please don't take it seriously. Uh, I might have drunk a few cups of tea just now, so I'm a little dizzy and started talking nonsense."
Duanmu Qing slowly raised her head, a hint of shyness in her eyes, "Actually, I made you a set of winter clothes, but it wasn't appropriate to give them to you directly, so I passed them on to the Crown Princess."
Mu Qingxuan was stunned!
She just said she didn't like needlework, but now she's saying she made herself a winter outfit.
Then he looked down at her hands and noticed that two fingers on her left hand were wrapped up, indicating that she was injured.
"your hands?"
Duanmu Qing bit her lip and quickly hid her hands behind her back. "Um, it's nothing. It's just that my hands are rusty. My brother said that if I do more needlework in the future, it will be fine."
Mu Qingxuan looked at this woman; she would become his wife.
Suddenly, he thought of the gentle and frail Chu Yan.
Suddenly, he realized how stupid he had been!
Both women were delicate, but the one in front of them was clearly more reserved than Chu Yan.
Isn't this what a well-bred lady should be like?
I was so incredibly stupid to have been fooled by such a shameless woman!
Fortunately, I saw through their scheme early on; otherwise, I would probably be infamous by now, and even the Emperor would have reprimanded me.
If things go wrong, another group of censors could jointly revoke all my academic achievements, which would at least put my mind at ease.
"Stay at the Prince's residence with peace of mind. If you have nothing to do, come visit the East Palace more often. My sister is not well and cannot go out all the time, so please keep her company. Also, you are now my fiancée, so I will need to trouble you to take good care of my mother. Qingxuan thanks you in advance."
After saying that, Mu Qingxuan bowed deeply to her.
The meaning is actually quite simple.
Mu Qingxuan didn't treat Duanmu Qing as an outsider, and he hoped that Duanmu Qing could treat his family like her own.
This is something that pleases Duanmu Qing.
The next day, when Mu Qingxuan and Duanmu Xing left, Duanmu Qing did not go out to see them off. After all, the two had not yet married, and she was a princess, so it was really inappropriate.
Inside the Eastern Palace, Duanmu Chuze accompanied Mu Xin Nuan to read for a while. After Jiao Zonghua learned a few characters, he sent someone to take the child out.
"Is it true that Chu Yan lost her virginity long ago?" Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat skeptical.
Duanmu Chuze chuckled, "Didn't you say you wanted to make Mu Qingxuan give up completely? So, I had someone do some tampering. It's just some virgin blood, so dealing with it isn't difficult at all."
It turns out that on that day at the Fugui Restaurant, Chu Yan did indeed give her virginity to the fourth young master of the Xie family.
However, this was different from what Chu Yan had expected; her original target was Mu Qingxuan.
She knew that someone like Mu Qingxuan, with his temperament, would never sit idly by after committing such a defilement. Therefore, he would definitely take responsibility.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse, and in the end, it was the fourth young master of the Xie family who brought her good fortune.
Xie the fourth son is a complete scumbag!
"Aze, what do you think we should do with the fourth young master of the Xie family? Should we just let him go like this?"
Mu Xin Nuan knew that Xie Qing Kuan was Duanmu Chu Ze's man, so she didn't intend to interfere in the Xie family's affairs. However, she felt somewhat resentful that he had been so easily let off the hook because he dared to scheme against her younger brother.
"What do you want?"
"How could Xie Si have done it all by himself? Besides, how did he manage to get involved with the Chu family's daughter? If no one had acted as a go-between or even devised the plan, I don't believe that such a good-for-nothing could have come up with such a vicious scheme! Moreover, Chu Yan and Mu Qingxuan have known each other for quite some time. The fact that he waited until now to make his move clearly shows that he had thought things through carefully and had many concerns."
“That’s right. I’ve already had Xie San interrogate Xie Si. He’ll give us an explanation eventually. He was severely punished in prison before. Although it didn’t seriously damage him, it was extremely humiliating. After this incident, if he can still cause trouble, then even if he is Xie San’s own brother, I will not let him live.”
"Is Xie Si Madam Xie's biological son?"
Duanmu Chuze nodded. "It's surprising that the second son of the Xie family didn't get involved this time."
"His decision not to get involved shows that he understands the situation clearly. Fine, as long as I can find out who's behind him, I won't make things difficult for him anymore."
However, what none of them expected was that since returning to the Xie family mansion, the fourth young master of the Xie family had been in a state of semi-illness and semi-madness.
It started with a high fever. After the fever subsided, the person became somewhat confused. After only two days, the fever returned. This cycle repeated until the fever ultimately damaged the brain!
When Xie Qingkuan came to report back, he still had doubts.
"You tried it? Is he really insane?"
"Your Highness, although I have tried, I am still not certain. In the current situation, either he is pretending to be stupid in order to avoid some trouble, or he has been severely abused in prison, which is why he is acting this way."
"Impossible! He's a man. No matter how much those people abused him, he couldn't possibly have such a high fever. Besides, you've all seen that there are no external injuries on his body. Therefore, it's impossible for him to have an infection that caused the fever."
"What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"If he really has gone mad, the only possibility is that he has been framed!"
