Chapter 25 (1/2)

Mu Ge gained some understanding from Mu Lianrong’s words.

It must be very helpless for someone like Mu Xiong and a family background like the Mu family’s to tolerate Mu Qingge’s nonsensical actions. This was because they’d rather see a humiliating son than Mu Qingge’s corpse.

What people thought to be the honorary and powerful Mu Residence was actually living with much grievance.

Mu Ge’s blood boiled.

For a moment, she could not differentiate if the feelings came from herself or Mu Qingge’s body.

“Also, Xiyue is quite nice. I can tell that she’s genuine to you. Even though you can’t marry her as your legitimate wife, you should give her a concubine status. Think about it clearly,” said Mu Lianrong suddenly.

Mu Ge was stunned. What legitimate wife? What concubine? Did Mu Lianrong want her to marry someone and carry on the descendants line for the Mu family?

As if lightning struck her, Mu Ge yelled in her heart, “I can’t do it!”

Mu Lianrong did not stay at Chi Yun Court for long and left after You He brought food over. After Mu Ge ate some food, had a hearty bath and changed into clean clothes, she fell into deep sleep, before she could detect if there were any changes in her body.

Early in the morning, Mu Ge was woken up by Hua Yue’s coy voice.

Mu Ge sat on the chair drowsily and allowed Hua Yue and You He to help her wear clothes and tie her hair. Mu Ge was so exhausted until she was too lazy to open her eyes.

“Little Lord, do you want to wear this jade crown engraved with blossoms?” asked You He as she took out a crown with intricate engravings and encrusted with a faint red ruby.

Mu Ge opened her eyes a little and glanced at the crown in You He’s hands. She said lightly, “It’s too bright.” Then, she casually picked up a crown on the table and threw it to You He. “This is not bad.”

You He looked down and noticed that Mu Ge chose an ordinary traditional crown that had no accessories whatsoever. As Mu Ge’s personal servant, she could not even remember when the crown appeared in Chi Yun Court.

You He picked up the crown and was shocked at Mu Ge’s choice.

Hua Yue looked at the traditional and simple crown and said quickly, “Little Lord, don’t you want to dress yourself up nicely every time you meet Prince Rui? This crown…”

Feeling the coldness that Mu Ge was about to shoot out from her eyes, You He hurriedly glared at Hua Yue. The latter stuck out her tongue and lowered her head, not daring to say anything else as she focussed on straightening the creases on Mu Ge’s shirt.

After a moment, Mu Ge left Chi Yun Court in a fiery red robe and the traditional and unmatching crown was right on the top of her head.

In the front yard and the living room of the Mu Residence. Mu Xiong was accompanying the visiting Prince Rui – Qin Jinhao -, who sat at the main seat in the room, and they were casually talking over some tea.

Qin Jinhao’s appearance was not surprising. After all, he had said that he would come over to the Mu Residence before he left the day before. They just did not expect it to be so soon.

If it were not for Qin Jinhao visiting them so early in the morning, Mu Ge might still be lazily sleeping at home.
