Chapter 44 Jiang Muxue's Resignation



"Come here, take these two people to the government office."

Jiang Muyu gave an order, and the palace guards took Wei Niang and the man away.

Tangtang looked at Wei Niang with tears in her eyes as she saw her being dragged up from the ground.

Wei Niang also looked back at her and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Princess, don't cry. Wei Niang can no longer serve you in the future. You must eat well and stop kicking the quilt at night. In the future... listen to the princess' words."

"Nurse..." Tangtang couldn't hold back her tears any more, and each crystal clear teardrop fell on the back of Jiang Muyu's hand.

Jiang Muyu raised his hand to cover her eyes, preventing her from looking over there, and said slowly: "Tangtang, although you are still young, you must remember that no matter who you are, you must pay the price for the mistakes you make."

Tangtang nodded, climbed onto her neck, rested her little face on her shoulder, and cried for a while.

Jiang Muyu stroked her back gently and carried her into the house.

Tangtang fell asleep because she was tired of crying.

Jiang Muyu put her on the bed and gently wiped the tears from her face with a towel soaked in warm water.

Without a wet nurse, Tangtang has lost someone she trusted. She is the only child in the palace, and the wet nurse has been with her all these years. It is normal for her to feel sad now.

Jiang Muyu sat beside the bed, looking at Tangtang's peaceful sleeping face. She began to think about finding two trustworthy people to accompany Tangtang.

Liang Qingchen did not return to the palace overnight, and only brought Xu Lang back to report that he was safe.

I think this matter of Princess Rong An is a bit tricky.

Jiang Muyu got up early because she needed to visit another farm today. It was far away and she needed to stay there for two days.

Tangtang came to have breakfast with her today. While the mother and daughter were eating, Jiang Muxue came.

She walked into the room and bowed: "Xue'er is here to say goodbye to her sister."

Jiang Muyu saw that she looked a little haggard, and asked, "Did you not sleep well last night?"

Jiang Muxue's expression froze, and she lowered her eyebrows unnaturally, saying, "I slept very well. I don't want to trouble you to worry about me."

"What are you saying? We are sisters, why should we be so formal? Just now you said you were here to say goodbye, are you planning to go back home?"

"Well, yesterday mother sent a message to me, asking me to go back today. I'm sorry for bothering you these days."

"It's okay. I've already asked someone to arrange a carriage for you. I have other things to do today, so I won't see you off."

"Uh..." Jiang Muxue's expression faltered for a moment, and she finally managed to regain her composure. "Thank you very much, sister."

Jiang Muxue took Caiyu out of Prince Rui's Mansion, got on the carriage, and immediately put away the gentleness on her face.

Caiyu said, "Miss, you see, this carriage is not one that is commonly used in the Rui Palace, but it looks like it was arranged long ago."

Jiang Muxue took a deep breath and said coldly, "She must have heard the news and knew that I was leaving today, so she couldn't wait to ask someone to make arrangements."

Caiyu was furious: "Princess Rui's tolerance is only this level, she can't tolerate you, young lady."

"Even if she doesn't like me, I am still her sister. My reputation is related to the reputation of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. She will not let it go."

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

This side room is in the Qingyu courtyard.

Yun Xuan didn't even bother to hide the smile on his face, and said, "Finally, she was sent away."

Jiang Muyu also breathed a sigh of relief, "Of course not. Seeing her jumping around under my nose all day long, although she's not a big threat, it makes me feel very uncomfortable."

"That's right. This Eighth Miss has learned the ways of a concubine from Aunt Feng. It's hard to like her. Now the news about her and the legitimate son of Marquis Xuanping has spread everywhere. I'm afraid it will be a bad ending if they don't get married."

"Whether this kiss will be successful or not depends on her ability. It just so happens that I'm going to go out and hide for the next two days, so that they won't come to me for help one by one."

Yunshan came in and reported: "My lady, everything has been packed up."

"good."

Tangtang was sitting on the side eating her meat porridge. She put down her spoon and frowned, "Mom is going out again?"

"Yes." Jiang Muyu pushed the hot milk towards her, "Drink more to replenish your nutrition."

However, Tangtang didn't answer, "How long will mother be gone this time?"

She was silent and unhappy. Her father and mother were busy these days, and she only saw her brother once every ten days. She was the only one in the huge palace with nothing to do and she didn't even have any friends. She was bored all day long.

"Are you angry?" Jiang Muyu pinched her face and said lovingly, "I'll take you with me this time."

Tangtang's eyes immediately lit up, and she asked happily, "Really?"

"Of course it's true. Could mother really lie to you?"

"Great!" She immediately got down from the stool on her butt.

"Eh? You haven't finished the meat porridge yet." Jiang Muyu wanted to pull her, but she was small and agile, so she ran out in a flash.

From a distance, I could hear her babyish voice shouting, "Sister Yunyan, I want to take that pink dress with me!"

Jiang Muyu smiled helplessly, shook his head, and followed him out.

Tangtang returned to her room and instructed Yunyan to help her get this and that. "This hair ornament is beautiful, you should take it too. And the head ornament with the little balls..."

As soon as Jiang Muyu entered the room, he saw her sitting on the carpet with several open wooden boxes in front of her, listing the things she was going to take with her.

"Tangtang, we're going to stay at the manor for two days, so we don't need so many things."

"Ah?" She scratched her head and asked, "Then mother, please help me figure out what to bring?"

"I've asked Yunxuan to pack all your clothes. As for hair ornaments and the like, just take two or three of your favorite ones."

Tangtang looked around and finally picked out four hair ornaments. She said, "I'll just wear these, okay?"

"Everything is fine." She touched the child's head and said, "Our Tangtang is so pretty that she looks good even without dressing up."

Tangtang came over with a giggle and asked to be hugged. She rubbed Jiang Muyu's arm and acted coquettishly: "This is the first time that mommy takes me out to play. Tangtang is so happy."

Jiang Muyu hugged her soft body, but he only felt heartache.

This little baby is so cute and well-behaved, but the original owner didn't know how to cherish her. In the final analysis, Liang Jingtang's stubborn character in the book is largely caused by her original family. Her father died early, her mother was not too strict with her, and her most dependent Wei Niang was still a gossiper and dishonest person. There are wolves in front and tigers and leopards behind. How can she be taught to be good?

From now on, as long as Jiang Muyu is the child's mother, she will definitely guide her onto the right path and let Tangtang have a happy childhood.

When everything was ready, the group set out for the farm.

This farm is near Bailihua Town outside the city, and it takes half a day to get there by horse carriage.

The road was mostly gravel, so it wasn't too bumpy. Yun Xuan had someone put an extra layer of carpet on the carriage and added a few cushions, so Jiang Muyu didn't feel uncomfortable sitting on it.

Tangtang opened the car curtain and looked out. Everything she saw seemed very new and novel.

"Mother, mother, what is that?"

“That’s a bird.”

"What about that one?"

"That's a squirrel."

"Wow, mother, look at that flower, it's so beautiful."

"This flower is called pine leaf peony. Its flowering period is very short. It blooms in the morning and withers before noon. Tangtang is very lucky to have encountered the time when it bloomed."

"Mother, mother, look at that..."

After watching for a while, she felt tired. Jiang Muyu was afraid that she would catch a cold if exposed to the wind for too long, so he lowered the curtains. Tangtang didn't eat much for breakfast and felt hungry now, so Jiang Muyu gave her some cakes. However, she fell asleep leaning on Jiang Muyu before she finished her piece.

Yun Xuan gently took away the small piece of cake in her hand and wiped the crumbs off her palm with a handkerchief.

"She's just a child after all. She gets tired and falls asleep after playing for a while." Jiang Muyu took a thin blanket and covered her with it.

Yun Xuan also sighed, "Yes... but the little princess can only be carefree for a few years."

Jiang Muyu thought that Tangtang would be four years old in two months, and when she started to learn, she would not have many carefree days.

She suddenly understood the feelings of a mother: she wanted her child to grow up quickly, but was also afraid that the child would grow up too fast; she wanted her child to be sensible, but was also worried that the child would be too sensible.

This kind of tangled yet sweet feeling was something she had never experienced before.
