Chapter 390 The Album is Back
"The house is inhabited by an old man who looks to be around fifty and is a doctor of medicine. He has a personal attendant who is a martial artist in his early thirties. The rest are the cook, three maids, and two guards. The old man is an expert in gynecology and specializes in treating chronic gynecological diseases."
Song Yu's eyes widened. "Didn't I tell you to investigate first? You've done a thorough investigation."
Chunhua handed the note in her arms to Song Yu: "It must be that Prince Mu's men discovered our tracks and threw stones at us."
Song Yu pursed her lips slightly. Prince Mu was really considerate. He figured out the situation in the yard so quickly.
"Keep an eye on that side first. I'm afraid it's not as simple as it seems."
Bai Lan: "Could it be that Du Zhihuan has some difficult gynecological disease? Yun Que, who is by her side, can't even cure it, and she even sent someone to treat it secretly. It must be a serious illness that is hard to talk about, ah!"
Bai Lan suddenly exclaimed.
Song Yu frowned and raised his hands to cover his ears. "You need to change this habit of getting so startled!"
"I changed it! I thought Song Mingzhu must have given her a sterilizing drug, otherwise she wouldn't have secretly sent someone there."
Song Yu: "Is it possible? Aren't the people around her very smart? They actually let Song Mingzhu succeed and couldn't find out it was Song Mingzhu who did it?"
"Du Zhihuan doesn't know that Song Mingzhu isn't her biological mother, so naturally she won't be on guard. She's also noticeably thinner."
Song Yu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. "Sister Chunhua, find a way to get into the Song Mansion and secretly find out if Du Zhihuan has taken any of the medicine in the past two days?"
"Yes, miss."
"Prince, good news, great news!"
Mu Jingxing raised his eyes to look at him, and saw that the corners of his mouth were raised to the sky, "The case is solved?"
Xiao Fei shook his head, "No, guess?"
Mu Jingxing's face turned cold, "Are you free?"
Xiao Fei was so frightened that he quickly confessed, "It was Miss Song who wanted to see you. She asked you to go to Yunuo Tavern at noon tomorrow and asked you to bring the young man you mentioned to meet her."
Mu Jingxing's expression softened visibly, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart, "Really?"
"It's absolutely true. Miss Bai Lan just came here in disguise. She said it herself that Miss Song wants to thank you in person tomorrow for helping to keep an eye on her."
Mu Jingxing was stunned. Thanks?
Isn’t it a bit early?
Besides, there is no need to thank him. This is his duty.
"I see."
Xiao Fei gossiped again, "Who is that young master? What did you and Miss Song talk about in the Jiang family's bamboo forest that day?"
"You really have nothing to do. Someone, come here! Give me..."
"Sir, I just remembered that Luo Dashan's case was only halfway through when Miss Bai Lan arrived. I will go back and continue the trial immediately."
The prince is so scary, he changes his attitude faster than turning the pages of a book!
Mu Jingxing sat at his desk, unable to concentrate on handling his official business.
what to do?
Miss Song actually asked him to bring the young man he mentioned?
This really treats him as an older brother!
He just said it casually last time, there is no such person at all.
Who is he going to take?
Mu Jingxing couldn't sit still for half an incense stick of time and left the Dali Temple and went to the clothing store on the third floor of the Jiuchong Building.
"Ah Xu, is that Zhenshu's son?"
Xiao Yanxu tilted his head to look, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
"It's him! Ah Jing is the most outstanding grandchild I've ever seen. That purple suit suits him best."
Gu Yining nodded: "It's strange that you didn't go to the government office to buy new clothes at this time, and there is no one around."
Xiao Yanxu carefully looked at Mu Jingxing standing in front of the large floor-length bronze mirror, pursed his lips and smiled, saying, "A Jing must have a girl he likes."
"Isn't he averse to women?"
Xiao Yanxu leaned close to her ear and whispered, "That's why I wasn't interested in women back then, so you took a fancy to me."
Gu Yining raised his eyebrows, "Are you proud?"
"Hehe..." Xiao Yanxu chuckled, "I wonder which girl caught Ajing's eye?"
"She must be a girl from a good family."
Gu Yining caught a glimpse of Mu Jingxing looking at him from the corner of his eye, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Yanxu to the fourth floor.
When Mu Jingxing turned around, he saw several women and girls within ten steps looking at him in amazement.
For the first time in my life, I didn't resist this kind of gaze.
I think this purple dress looks very nice. It shouldn't be impolite to wear it to meet Miss Song tomorrow.
In the evening, when Song Yu came home from school, he did not see Du Henian and his family of three.
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to bring people to help move?"
Bai Lan: "The old lady is still angry. The Marquis was driven away as soon as he woke up. I'm afraid she will have to calm down before she can let them come back."
Upon hearing this, Song Yu hurried to Chaohui Courtyard.
"Grandma, are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine, it's okay. Don't worry, grandma won't get angry easily in the future. Grandma is looking forward to you getting married and giving birth to a big fat son in the future."
Song Yu blushed, "It's still early. I still have to observe mourning. What if Xiao Shizi's grandparents don't like me and don't want me to be their granddaughter-in-law?"
"How could that be? The Concubine is Grandmother's good sister. She will love you and pamper you just like Grandmother does. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Song Yu: "What if she doesn't like me? This engagement will be void. I'll choose another husband, but Du Zhihuan can't marry him."
She had to prepare her grandmother mentally in advance.
Du Ye pulled her to sit down. "No matter what, she will choose you as her grandson's wife. We are not only good sisters with a good relationship, but I am also her savior. She almost lost her life when she fell into the water, and I jumped in to save her. Of course, the marriage was arranged before. Grandmother must make you the princess no matter what!"
Song Yu: "You haven't seen each other for eighteen years. She is the Princess of Rong. Can we still repay her kindness?"
"This..." Du Ye lowered her eyes. "If she really doesn't like you, Grandmother assures you that Huanhuan will never marry into Prince Rong's mansion. Don't worry, she will definitely like you."
"What are the Dowager Consort's preferences? I want to know in advance so I can make an impression on her when we meet. Also, what does she look like? Is she as kind and amiable as my grandmother?"
"Madame Qiao, go get the album."
After giving the order, Du Ye said to Song Yu, "She loves desserts and will definitely like the peony fruit cake you made. She is proficient in calligraphy and painting and is the only woman to be awarded the title of a high-ranking noble lady since the founding of Chaofeng Palace Academy..."
Du Ye vividly told Song Yu about the interesting things that happened when they were girls.
The more Song Yu listened, the more curious he became about her, and he even had a glimmer of anticipation of meeting her sooner.
"Madam." Aunt Qiao came in with a picture album. "The album is not clear because of the tide. The pictures are all blurry."
Can't be really that unlucky?
Song Yu quickly took it and looked through it, and his face instantly faded.
This is really trendy, I can't even see what it looks like!
Where is she going to block people?
Should he create an accidental encounter with the Dowager Concubine on her way to the mansion to discuss the marriage, leaving a bad impression on her?
"Grandma, do you have any other albums of paintings of the Concubine Dowager?"
"No, she will be back soon. Wait till she comes to see the real person."
The next day, Mu Jingxing walked out of the room dressed up.
Mu Chuqing ran over with Snowball in her arms, and said with a half-smile, "Why do you look so much like a peacock today? Ah! You're not going to the Dali Temple wearing this, are you?"
Mu Jingxing glared at Xiao Fei.
Xiao Fei looked innocent: He didn’t say anything!
"Why can't I wear it to Dali Temple?"
Mu Chuqing smiled, "Yes! Of course! If you wear it like this every day, no, change it up, and keep a smile on your face all the time, it won't be long before I have a sister-in-law, my parents will have a daughter-in-law, and my grandmother will have a granddaughter-in-law, hehe..."
"You're getting more and more ridiculous. My room is full of beautiful clothes, and I wear beautiful clothes every day. I just casually put on this one, and you've said so much. Well, I'm going to the government office now."
Mu Jingxing stole the snowball as he passed her.
"Hey! That's my snowball, give it back to me!"
Mu Jingxing turned around holding Snowball, his eyes very gentle: "Didn't you tell me not to always have a stern face? Do you think I look better holding Snowball?"
Mu Chuqing opened her eyes wide, full of disbelief. Her elder brother was becoming more and more handsome, and she was almost overshadowed by him.
"Yes, you are very pleasing to the eyes today. It is very comforting to look at you. Snowball will hold you for the whole day."
After Mu Jingxing left, Mu Chuqing quickly followed him quietly.
Big brother is acting so abnormally, he must be doing something behind her back!
