Chapter 722 A Minor Quarrel Between Husband and Wife!
“I’m not saying you shouldn’t have come to the East Palace, I’m just saying your wariness of Duanmu Chen is too low.”
"You? I was almost killed by him today! You, you get away from me!"
Mu Xin Nuan was genuinely anxious. She felt that she had almost been taken advantage of by that Duanmu Chen. Naturally, she couldn't say such things aloud, but her husband was still lecturing her with grand principles. She really doubted whether he still cared about her.
It has to be said, that's just how women are.
Once she gets angry, she'll completely negate all the good things the man has done for her.
Of course, this situation is only temporary and will not last long.
However, when a woman is angry, she is definitely unreasonable. Mu Xin Nuan is no exception!
Duanmu Chuze sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. He had originally intended to teach her a lesson, but now she was crying on and on. What was he supposed to do?
The most crucial thing is that when he saw her cry, his heart softened, and he couldn't bear to scold her even a second longer.
He reached out again and pulled Mu Xin Nuan back into his arms. "A Nuan, don't be like this. How could I possibly abandon you? Do you think Mu Hua and Mu Qing managed to break free from each other's control?"
Mu Xin Nuan stared at him with her big, misty eyes, somewhat incredulous. "What did you say?"
"Since I anticipated that Duanmu Chen would have ill intentions towards you, how could I not have taken action? If you hadn't smashed your head with the vase back then, my men would have done it too. I just didn't expect you to be so clever."
"Wait a minute, are you saying that there weren't only Duanmu Chen and me in the room at the time?"
"Of course! How could I possibly let you be alone with that bastard? I'm not stupid!"
Duanmu Chuze said, sounding somewhat smug, "But seriously, Nuan, this time, you should finally understand what kind of person Duanmu Chen is, right? Before, what I said was just scaremongering, wasn't it?"
Mu Xin Nuan felt a little guilty.
She admitted that whenever Duanmu Chuze said these things before, she simply thought he was jealous and was deliberately saying bad things about Duanmu Chen. But now that she thought about it, it seemed that what he said was really true.
At least for now, her impression of Duanmu Chen is extremely bad!
"Duanmu Chuze, how could you be so cruel? Your men refused to make a move until I was in utter despair before they finally intervened to save me?"
Upon hearing this, Duanmu Chuze, who had initially been somewhat smug, seemed to feel something was amiss.
"Wait a minute, Nuan, have you misunderstood something? I just wanted him to deliver a heavy blow to Duanmu Chen at a crucial moment. Of course, I didn't mean to scare you, but to make you see Duanmu Chen for who he really is."
Mu Xin Nuan understood his good intentions, but understanding was one thing, and whether she felt good about it was another.
"Hmph! Since that's the case, I've been frightened tonight, so you should sleep in the study. I'll sleep with Zonghua."
"Ah Nuan!" Duanmu Chuze immediately asked pitifully, "Aren't you being a little silly?"
“I have suffered severe emotional trauma. You can talk to me again when I feel better. I don’t want to hear anything from you right now.”
“Anuan, I was wrong, okay? I was only doing this for your own good. Besides, you came out of the East Palace unharmed today, didn’t you? And not only that, I also let you know about my spies in the East Palace. Anuan, you see, I really have no secrets from you.”
"Hmph! No secrets? If I hadn't experienced what happened today, would I have known that aunt was one of your people? Duanmu Chuze, you actually dared to scare me. Don't worry, I won't scare you back again. I don't know I have that ability. At worst, we'll just calm down."
"No! Ah Nuan, aren't we backwards? You were clearly in the wrong from the start, weren't you? If you hadn't been so careless in the beginning, none of this would have happened, right?"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him and said, "So you're saying it's all my fault again?"
That was clearly saying, "Try saying yes if you dare."
Duanmu Chuze, utterly shameless, had no choice but to yield in front of Mu Xin Nuan.
"Alright, I didn't say it was all your fault. Ah Nuan, you only went to the East Palace today. But think about it, what if we enter the inner palace in the future? You should understand that the inner palace has never been without strife. It's just a matter of whether it's a little quieter or a little more chaotic."
"What does that have to do with me? How many times can I enter the palace?" Mu Xin Nuan said somewhat resentfully.
“That makes sense. Our Anuan doesn’t need to go to the palace often,” Duanmu Chuze said, quickly placing his hand on her waist again.
Mu Xin Nuan struggled a few times but couldn't break free. She thought that since they were in the car, she would deal with it after getting off.
Unfortunately, Mu Xin Nuan is destined to be disappointed.
Just as Mu Xin Nuan was about to get off the carriage, Duanmu Chu Ze stopped her. He jumped down first, then picked up Mu Xin Nuan who was standing on the side, and went into the mansion without looking back.
Mu Xin Nuan was naturally unhappy to be held in his arms.
It's agreed that he'll sleep in the study tonight.
"Duanmu Chuze, you scoundrel, put me down!"
Back at his residence, Duanmu Chuze no longer cared how much she made a fuss, since no one else was watching anyway.
Especially after entering Yijing Garden, he became even more unrestrained, and even took the opportunity to steal a kiss on her face.
"You little rascal, go sleep in the study! I want to sleep with Zonghua."
"Stop fooling around. Zonghua went to sleep with Aunt Qing. Be quiet, or I can't guarantee I won't take other measures to calm you down."
The threat was indeed effective.
Mu Xin Nuan immediately quieted down, only then realizing that the entire courtyard was unusually quiet.
"Stop looking. I've sent everyone away to rest. They don't need to worry about our affairs as a couple."
Mu Xin Nuan blushed. "You're talking nonsense again! Put me down. Duanmu Chu Ze, you can't break your promise!"
"When have I ever broken my promise? I never agreed to let you sleep in the study. From beginning to end, it was just you talking to yourself. Sweetie, Nuan, I will definitely find a way tonight so you won't have to live in fear anymore."
"You despicable person!"
"Hehe, I'll show you what a real scoundrel is in a minute. Okay?"
Mu Xin Nuan stared wide-eyed, wishing she could poke a hole in him.
