Chapter 820 Transferred to Yanzhou?
"You unfilial son! Kneel down!"
No matter how important this legitimate son was to Mu Chang'an, he would never tolerate him making Li Shi sick.
That woman was the love of his life. Years ago, he had fallen for someone else's trick and was not faithful to Li, so for many years he had felt guilty.
Fortunately, with the birth of several children's husbands, Mu Chang'an and Li Shi's relationship improved and they remained deeply in love.
"Father, your son knows he was wrong."
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?"
"The son shouldn't have said things that made his mother angry. He acted impulsively and hurt his mother."
“You are the eldest son of the Mu family. No matter how capable your sister is or how well she marries, her children will never bear the Mu surname. But you are different. You are the hope of our Mu family. Over the years, can’t you see how much hope your grandfather has placed in you?”
"Yes, son knows he was wrong." Mu Qingxuan was genuinely frightened, and now, in front of his father, he could no longer hold back his tears.
"You're going to get so angry with your own mother over a woman?"
“Father, I acted on impulse. If I hadn’t known that Mother was deliberately trying to break us up, I would never have done this.”
"Break them up? Intentionally? Heh, I'd like to ask you, where did you hear such things? Did you even ask your mother? Is the marriage of that Chu family girl something your mother can interfere with? Don't forget who General Chu is, and who Chu Rong is!"
Mu Qingxuan's mind finally cleared up a bit. Could it be that he had wronged his mother?
Then think about Chu Yan, who only lives in the inner courtyard. How could he possibly know that it was his mother who did it?
Furthermore, given Chu Yan's status, she probably hasn't even met the people who proposed marriage, and even if she had, she certainly wouldn't recognize them. How could she be so certain that it was her own mother who did it?
Mu Qingxuan finally realized that he had become suspicious.
“Ah Xuan, think about why you’ve joined the army. Do you think the Crown Prince intends for you to become a military general? The Crown Prince is just trying to cultivate someone who can stand alone in the Ministry of War in the future! Not the kind of reckless brute who only knows how to fight and knows nothing else!”
Mu Qingxuan dared not speak anymore. Now that things had come to this, he probably understood that, most likely, Chu Yan had been used.
Mu Qingxuan did not think that Chu Yan was deliberately trying to sow discord between him and his mother. In his impression, Chu Yan was a delicate and helpless little girl. How could she have so many thoughts?
Two days later, Duanmu Chuze took a day off and, as promised, accompanied Mu Xinnuan to the Mu residence.
"Mother, are you feeling better? Have you been taking your medicine on time?"
"Hmm, much better, thank you for your thoughtfulness. You're pregnant now, so come sit in the front. The smell of medicine in this room is too strong, so don't make yourself throw up again."
"It's okay, my morning sickness has improved a lot, and I hardly vomit anymore."
"That won't do either. Come on, let's go sit in the front. I'll also get some fresh air."
"Mother, is something on your mind?"
In fact, since Mu Xin Nuan had come, she naturally knew most of the details about Mu Qing Xuan's affairs.
Li didn't intend to hide anything from her and told her everything. At the end, she sighed and said, "How could I have given birth to such a dim-witted person?"
“Mother, since he’s not thinking clearly, let’s just wait until he does. What are you afraid of?”
"Ah Nuan, what do you mean?"
“He’s all grown up now. Aren’t you planning to arrange a marriage for him? In my opinion, let him meet with that girl in secret. We don’t need to stop him. Just have someone follow him in secret so that nothing else goes wrong.”
"How can that be?" Madam Li shook her head immediately upon hearing this. "If Ah Xuan's reputation is ruined, how can he possibly find a good girl to be his wife?"
"Don't worry, Mother. The more we try to stop him, the more Ah Xuan seems to think that Miss Chu Yan is good. Let's just let him be, neither supporting him nor paying him any attention. Let him see things clearly for himself."
Li hesitated for a moment, "Will this work?"
“Mother, Ah Xuan is still young and naive, and he probably doesn’t know much about women. Since he thinks he’s met a good woman, then so be it. At worst, we can bring that woman into the manor and make her our concubine.”
Li was shocked and stared at her, "Are you crazy? Ah Nuan, that's Ah Xuan, your own brother. By doing this, aren't you just making a fool of yourself?"
“Mother, if he doesn’t fall down, he’ll probably never grow up. The more we say that Miss Chu is no good enough for him, the more he’ll feel that we don’t understand him and that the girl understands him better. What you’re saying will only push him further away.”
After thinking about it carefully, Li realized that it made sense.
"What terrible things have I done? We've only been at peace for a few days, and look, trouble has arisen again."
"What's the big deal? Don't worry, Ah Xuan isn't stupid, he'll just understand sooner or later. He's a man, there are some things he has to go through, it's better to go through them sooner than later."
When Mu Xin Nuan said this, her eyes met Li Shi's.
Li felt a tremor in her heart and couldn't help but think of Song from back then.
Ah Nuan is right. If Mu Qingxuan were to experience these kinds of schemes involving women earlier, he would be able to truly escape the entanglements and conflicts of the inner court and become a real man in the future.
"Okay, you're right. In that case, I'll listen to you."
“We’ll just watch and not interfere, but we won’t allow them to do anything detrimental to the Mu family. Don’t worry, I’ve already had someone find out about that girl named Chu Yan. She’s beautiful, but her character is…”
Mu Xin Nuan was somewhat reserved, and it wasn't hard to tell from her expression that she also disliked Chu Yan very much.
When Mu Qingxuan returned to the manor, he was overjoyed to hear that his sister had arrived, but then he felt a little apprehensive.
He knew that his mother and sister were very close, and now that they had come back, they must have found out that his mother's serious illness was related to him. He was afraid that they would not let him off easily.
Mu Qingxuan didn't expect that he would be summoned to the study as soon as he changed his clothes.
"Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince."
"No need, we're all family. Just call me brother-in-law, it'll sound more comfortable."
"Yes, brother-in-law."
Duanmu Chuze smiled and said, "You've come back just in time. I was just discussing with my father-in-law about transferring you to Yanzhou."
