Chapter 332 Going to the fiefdom?
"You still have the nerve to talk back to me? It seems I've been too good to you. You really don't take anything seriously. Don't you think about who will suffer if you catch a cold right now? You're a doctor yourself, do you need me to teach you these important principles? Don't you know you shouldn't be exposed to cold wind right after washing your hair?"
Mu Xin Nuan suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. She just couldn't understand why someone who was so wise and capable was suddenly being so nagging. Had he taken the wrong medicine?
"Alright, alright. I know I was wrong, please forgive me."
There was nothing she could do but admit her mistake in order to prevent her ears from being tortured by him again.
"Mu Xinyao is getting married soon, and I've also arranged for them to leave the capital and the Jin family as soon as possible. Are you feeling more at ease now?"
"It's good that they've left the capital. At least, Mu Xinyao won't have the chance to get close to her mother and brother anymore, and she won't be able to harm them even if she wants to. However, I'm still a little worried."
"worry about what?"
Duanmu Chuze carefully dried her hair while gazing tenderly at her profile.
"You think Jin Hui's trip to Jiangnan is really that simple?"
Duanmu Chuze paused for a moment, then understood and smiled, "Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. With me here, I naturally won't let him gain his own power so easily. Besides, even if I allowed it, do you think Jin Yang would allow it?"
Mu Xin Nuan recalled her past life, how Jin Yang had placed too much trust in his younger brother Jin Hui, and couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. In this life, the young master Jin didn't seem to trust Jin Hui as much. She wondered if, now that Jin Tao's wife was Mu Xin Yao, he would still become the future master of the Dingyuan Marquis's mansion.
"I always felt that Prince Jin was a little too soft-hearted towards Jin Hui."
After thinking it over, Mu Xin Nuan finally revealed her thoughts in a somewhat veiled way. She knew that Duanmu Chu Ze could not possibly have no dealings with Jin Yang. Although they were of slightly different social status, they were still from prestigious and powerful families. How could they possibly have no interaction?
"Is Ah Nuan worried about Prince Jin?"
There seemed to be a slight displeasure in his tone.
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "I'm not worried about him! I just think Mu Xin Yao is too cunning, and Jin Hui's aunt is obviously not someone to be trifled with either. Besides, this time you schemed against Jin Hui, and there's a high chance he'll hold it against the young master Jin."
As she spoke, Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him, "Look at you, you only care about your own momentary pleasure, don't you think about the trouble you'll cause others?"
When Duanmu Chuze heard that this was the reason, he felt a little relieved.
"Do you think this would have been so easy to accomplish without Jin Yang's cooperation? I've been friends with him since childhood, and he was partly responsible for scheming against Jin Hui this time. Even if Jin Hui really hates him, it's not unfair to him, since he played a role in it all along."
Mu Xin Nuan was genuinely surprised this time, and immediately turned most of her body around, "Are you serious?"
Duanmu Chuze frowned, then turned her body around again. "Don't move around, your hair isn't dry yet."
"Tell me quickly, is everything you just said true?"
"Of course! Would I get any candy if I lied to you?" Duanmu Chuze pouted, displeased. "Speaking of which, that Marquis of Dingyuan is paying too much attention to this illegitimate son, which is not good. Although I don't have such a deep concept of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children, the survival rules of each world are different. Since he was born into his concubine's womb, he should have his own place in life."
Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat moved by what she heard. It was as if someone like him didn't have much of a concept of the difference between legitimate and illegitimate children.
It has to be said that his words gave Mu Xin Nuan a much deeper understanding of him.
"To be honest, Jin Hui is quite cunning. But the problem is, if he's willing to harm innocent people just to gain certain power, that's going too far. Such a person is too ruthless! Fortunately, Jin Yang is no pushover either, otherwise, he would have killed me by now."
Mu Xin Nuan remained silent, her beautiful brows furrowing slightly. She knew that Duanmu Chu Ze must have something else to say.
Sure enough, Duanmu Chuze glanced at her profile, his hands still moving, and continued, "Actually, over the years, he's followed Jin Yang, and Jin Yang has had his doubts. It's just that he's always placed too much importance on their so-called brotherhood!"
"There are only two male members in the direct line of the Marquis of Dingyuan's family. He has received a good education since childhood and always puts the interests of the family first. It is only natural that he would value this relationship so much."
After Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, she couldn't help but sigh softly, "Actually, if Jin Hui could really focus on protecting the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, his future prospects would be quite good. It's just a pity that such a person is too selfish and self-serving. Although he is smart, he always uses his intelligence in the wrong way."
"That's right!"
Duanmu Chuze paused his actions for a moment, then leaned closer to Mu Xin Nuan and said softly, "If you hadn't taken the initiative to approach Jin Yang back then, I'm afraid he still wouldn't have been able to bring himself to do this."
Mu Xin Nuan was taken aback. He actually knew about this too?
Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Duanmu Chuze's lips curled up. "So, your every move, every word, every smile is under my surveillance. Don't even think about being nice to other men, or I'll lock you up and never let you show your face in front of the world again."
He said those words, which were clearly domineering, in a light and easy way, with a childlike expression on his face, which made Mu Xin Nuan both amused and exasperated!
"So you've been having someone secretly following me all along?"
"It's not always. It's just occasionally. I'm mainly worried that you've been tricked by that heartless Mu Xinyao."
Mu Xin Nuan raised an eyebrow. She'd never believe him.
"Anuan, the imperial decree for the marriage has been issued, but at the same time, news has also spread that Father has ordered several princes to go to their fiefdoms."
"To the fiefdom?"
“Yes!” Duanmu Chuze nodded with a solemn expression. “My fiefdom is in Yancheng, which has eight prefectures and twenty-four counties. However, they are all harsh and cold places. Anuan, although you have the high and mighty title of Princess Chang Le, I’m afraid you will have to suffer with me in the future.”
