Chapter 375 I got scolded!
When Mu Xin Nuan returned to her Yue Xuan, she picked up the book, but before she could even read the words clearly, the book was snatched from her hand!
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Anuan, shouldn't I be asking you that? What did I do wrong that you're ignoring me?"
Seeing Duanmu Chuze blinking his big, dark eyes with such a wronged expression, Mu Xin Nuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, no matter how angry she was.
"So you're actually feeling wronged? I'm asking you, what exactly have you been doing behind my back? You'd better tell me the whole truth, or don't blame me for being rude!"
"Good, good, good!" Duanmu Chuze said "good" three times in a row, bowed, and recounted the events of that day in detail.
"Anuan, Duanmu Chen knows you are my fiancée, yet he still dares to covet you. Shouldn't I teach him a lesson?"
This time, Mu Xin Nuan had nothing to say.
"It's not that I think you went too far, I just don't understand, if you wanted to get back at him, why did you end up helping him later?"
"No matter what, he's still my nephew! Besides, I didn't spread those rumors; they were instigated by my good second brother. He used this to scheme against the Crown Prince, so naturally I couldn't just stand by and watch him make things worse, could I?"
Mu Xin Nuan's eyes darted around, a glint of light flashing within them, captivating Duanmu Chu Ze!
"Aze, are you taking advantage of my ignorance again? I'm asking you, didn't you clearly plan all of this? You know perfectly well that after you schemed against Duanmu Chen, His Highness the Prince of Ming would not let go of such a perfect opportunity to suppress the Eastern Palace. So, you are clearly using the Prince of Ming to put pressure on the Eastern Palace."
Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow and smiled, "My Ah Nuan is getting smarter and smarter."
"Your Highness flatters me!" Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him and turned her face away.
"I did have that thought, and in fact, I did make my elder brother, the Crown Prince, understand some things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forced Duanmu Chen to choose a consort. Wouldn't that have been a win-win situation? Later, I intervened to quell the matter, simply to show my elder brother, the Crown Prince, that I was on his side. Even if I'm not satisfied with Duanmu Chen, it doesn't mean that my heart is with the Crown Prince!"
"You're too cunning! You're as treacherous as a fox, no good person at all!"
Duanmu Chuze chuckled softly, "Anuan, but you like me just the way I am, don't you?"
Mu Xin Nuan blushed, glared at him, and remained silent.
Mu Xin Nuan let Duanmu Chu Ze go, but Duanmu Chu Ze had no intention of letting her go. The anger in his eyes was slowly gathering, but Mu Xin Nuan was not looking at him at the moment, so she did not notice anything amiss.
"Anuan, shouldn't you tell me what interesting things happened at the tea party?"
As Duanmu Chuze spoke, he stepped forward and casually twirled a strand of her hair around his fingers. Although it was a very casual remark, Mu Xin Nuan sensed a hint of coldness in his voice.
"What interesting thing? How come I've never heard of it before?" Mu Xin Nuan was betting that Wang Ziyu hadn't told this man about what happened that day. Although Chunyu came from the Chang Le Prince's Mansion, she had repeatedly assured her that she wouldn't tell Duanmu Chuze about this matter.
But clearly, she lost her gamble!
"Anuan, you are my fiancée. You may not have fully witnessed my capabilities yet. I'm giving you one last chance. Will you tell me yourself, or will I help you recall everything bit by bit? Hmm?"
The last word, with its sharp upward consonant, sent shivers down Mu Xin Nuan's spine! Even when threatening someone, this man's voice was still damnably pleasant!
"Should I remind you first? Qingxin Pavilion?"
The last three words reached Mu Xin Nuan's ears, and she closed her eyes helplessly. Damn it! That Wang Ziyu actually told him everything!
Unable to withstand his threats, Mu Xin Nuan finally recounted what had happened that day.
Without exaggeration or concealment, it's almost exactly what Wang Ziyu said!
Duanmu Chuze's face darkened. "Why didn't you just leave back then?"
Mu Xin Nuan rolled her eyes at him, "Do you think I didn't want to? But the problem is that he grabbed my arm at the time. How could a weak woman like me break free from him?"
Duanmu Chuze's eyes darkened, and he asked in a somewhat sinister voice, "Which arm?"
"Huh?" Mu Xin Nuan didn't react at first, but when she saw his eyes fixed on her arm, she realized, "Oh, my left arm."
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chuze immediately took her left hand and quickly pulled up her sleeve, revealing the blue finger marks on her jade-like skin.
Duanmu Chuze's eyes were noticeably colder, and his aura was even more icy than before. Especially when his fingers gently touched the purplish-blue patch and he saw the fleeting pain on Mu Xin Nuan's face, he felt an intense urge to kill!
"Damn Duanmu Chen! He actually dared to hurt you!"
It's true that Wang Ziyu was outside the window at the time, but because the window was closed, he could only hear their conversation and couldn't see what was happening inside. Therefore, Duanmu Chuze was originally unaware of this situation!
Seeing such obvious marks on the arm of the woman he loved, how could Duanmu Chuze not be angry? Naturally, his words were tinged with anger!
"Are you stupid? Didn't you bring Chunyu into the palace? Why not have her serve you by your side? With her there, who can hurt you? Not even Duanmu Chen!"
Mu Xin Nuan had never seen him so angry before. She was so frightened that she couldn't speak. The grievance on her little face was so pitiful that it made people feel sorry for her.
Seeing her expression, Duanmu Chuze simply snorted heavily, then took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and began to slowly apply the medicine to her.
"Does it hurt?"
"Ouch! It hurts!" At this moment, Mu Xin Nuan was only thinking about how to calm him down. The only thing she could use now was this combination of her beauty and her feigned injury!
But Duanmu Chuze wasn't buying it at all. He glared at her fiercely and said, "From now on, wherever you are, remember that whenever I'm not by your side, you must bring a few maids with you, or at least one who knows martial arts!"
Mu Xin Nuan behaved very obediently this time, nodding quickly, "Yes, I remember."
