Chapter 759 Madam Chu, please rest assured!
Normally, Madam Chu would have thought these words were just polite remarks, but now, they sounded like sarcasm.
Madam Chu herself knew that her temper was not that bad.
But it was precisely because of this that he spoiled his daughter.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so determined to protect her daughter after she did something so undignified.
Looking back now, what the master said to Chu Rong was perfectly normal!
After that incident, Chu Rong never truly saw his younger sister, Chu Moli, again.
Ultimately, it wasn't that Chu Rong was cold-hearted towards his younger sister; it was Chu Moli who broke his heart!
She knew perfectly well that her brother had feelings for Mu Xin Nuan, yet she deliberately tried to sow discord between them, and even once wanted to disfigure Mu Xin Nuan!
The thought of this made Madam Chu's heart tremble.
Mu Xin Nuan seems gentle now, but who knows if she will come back to settle scores with Jasmine when she actually becomes the Crown Princess?
"You are so lucky to have such a sensible and thoughtful daughter."
"I'm so lucky. Didn't you also have a wonderful son? Alright, let's stop bragging here."
Madam Chu smiled somewhat awkwardly. After talking for a while, she thought of turning the topic to Chu Moli, but the family was in a good mood, so why would she bring this up out of the blue?
Isn't that just annoying?
“Anuan, I’ll go see Madam Chu off. You play a game of chess with your grandfather. Ah Xuan has lost to your grandfather the last few times.”
"Yes, mother."
Seeing that Mu Xin Nuan already possessed such a noble status, yet remained so gentle and sensible in her maternal home. Whether towards Madam Li or Mu Qing Xuan, her attitude remained unchanged, without any airs arising from her status as a princess.
Then look at the old man's smiling face; it almost never stopped.
At this moment, Madam Chu truly understood why the Emperor and Empress had always been so fond of this daughter-in-law.
Why did the Empress never formally intervene in the affairs of the Prince's residence or advocate for Prince Chang Le to take a concubine during the years she married into the royal family?
With such a good daughter-in-law, do they need to worry about anything?
Li Shi saw her off all the way out. When Madam Chu saw that there were no outsiders, she couldn't help but sigh, "If our Jasmine hadn't been so ignorant back then, I'm afraid that such a good daughter-in-law would be our Chu family now."
"Alright, that's all in the past, why bring it up again? Besides, I heard from Anuan that Princess Jing is a very easy person to get along with."
"Yes, she's not bad. Compared to the other princesses, she's much easier to get along with."
Madam Chu didn't say anything, but even if she was easy to get along with, she was still a noble princess. She was exempt from the formalities of elders bowing to her on ordinary days, but she shouldn't expect her to bow to them like a junior from an ordinary family.
"I wonder if the princess's baby will be a boy? You know, he's the only son in Ah Rong's generation. What if it's a girl?"
Seeing Madam Chu's predicament, Madam Li smiled and said, "Princess Jing is not that ignorant. Besides, the laws of our Great Yong Dynasty do not say that a princess cannot take a concubine."
"So what? Princess Jing is the Empress's most favored concubine. How could we possibly offend her?"
"Alright, stop thinking about that. As long as the family is safe, sound, and happy, that's better than anything else. I've come to understand that men shouldn't strive for high positions and great power. If they do, they'll be exhausted, and we women will be worried too."
"Yes, look at your Lord Mu. All these years, he has only ever lived with you as his legal wife."
Seeing the teasing look in Madam Chu's eyes, Madam Li chuckled and said, "Alright, everyone has their own difficulties. Let's go."
"Lanxin, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Most people in the capital are quite perceptive now. They can all see that once Prince Chang Le returns to the capital, he will likely be promoted to Crown Prince. Your Anuan will soon become the Crown Princess. The reason I came here this time is actually to say a word for our Jasmine."
"It's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore."
Even with her good temper, Li couldn't help but feel angry when she thought about Chu Moli's past behavior.
However, considering that Chu Moli had suffered a lot of grievances because of her willful nature, I decided to just consider it a lesson learned.
“If you can get through here, I’m afraid you won’t be able to get through to A-Nuan.”
Li was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What could she possibly be holding a grudge about? You don't actually think she still remembers this, do you? She doesn't have the time or inclination for that!"
"Hehe, look at me, I've been judging a gentleman by my own petty standards."
Madam Li patted her hand, "I'm not blaming you, but Anuan really doesn't have the time right now. Besides, think about it, Chu Rong is fighting alongside the Prince right now. No matter what, you can't hate the entire Chu family just because of Chu Moli. You're just overthinking it."
Looking at Li Shi's sincere expression and honest tone, Madam Chu couldn't help but wonder if she was overthinking things.
"If it's about her, then don't mention it again. It's no secret in the capital that A-Nuan and Princess Jing have a good relationship. Don't worry, A-Nuan isn't the kind of person who can't separate public and private matters."
"That's good, that's good." Finally, he felt relieved. He had originally planned to have Chu Moli personally apologize, but now he gave up on that idea.
As Li said, it's in the past, so what's the point of bringing it up?
Mu Xin Nuan learned of her purpose from Li Shi, but simply shook her head and smiled. Several years had passed, and she truly had no intention of arguing with unimportant people anymore.
She really didn't take Chu Moli seriously, considering her a mere nobody.
Madam Chu was indeed overthinking things!
In other words, what is Mu Xin Nuan's current identity?
Why bother arguing with a divorced woman? Wouldn't that just lower your own standing?
Mu Xin Nuan isn't that stupid, nor is she that idle!
"Mother, Her Majesty the Empress says she wants to arrange for the Prince to take a concubine. What do you think?"
"Have you found someone you like?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. In fact, although she had seen many people and portraits, she had not actually observed many of them.
To put it bluntly, she never even considered having Duanmu Chuze take a concubine!
