Bai Mudan handed the jade token to her and said, "I hope this will help Madam achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"Thank you." Jiang Muyu said, "This matter is all thanks to the help of the boss. I will remember this favor."
"Madam, you don't have to be polite. I owe you this."
"No need, what's his is his, and what's mine is mine."
Bai Mudan looked at her, hesitant to speak, and finally nodded, "Okay."
Not long after, Ji Dong came back with the medicine.
Jiang Muyu stood up and said, "I can't stay for long, so I'll take my leave now."
"Okay." Bai Mudan nodded at her.
Jiang Muyu had just stepped out of the doorstep when he suddenly thought of something and stepped back.
Bai Mudan saw her coming back and asked in confusion, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Jiang Muyu said: "I want to borrow a veil from the boss."
"Okay." Bai Mudan didn't ask the reason, and instructed Ji Dong: "Go to my cabinet in the inner room and get a suitable veil for this lady."
"Yes." Ji Dong stood up and walked into the inner room, and soon came out with a light blue veil embroidered with orchids.
The clothes Jiang Muyu wore today were also light blue, which matched perfectly with the gauze and didn't look out of place.
"Sorry to bother you, boss."
"It's okay, Madam, take care."
Jiang Muyu put on a veil and went out.
The lobby was much busier than when she first arrived. She was walking out and almost bumped into someone at the stairs. Fortunately, she stopped in time.
When she raised her head, the man had already walked past her without stopping.
It turned out to be Sun Chou!
Fortunately, I was wearing a veil, so the other party didn’t recognize me.
She just breathed a sigh of relief when she saw a familiar face. "Oh my god! Why is Xie Cheng here?" She lowered her head in panic.
Jiang Muyu lowered his head and walked forward obediently, wishing he could step on a Hot Wheels.
Xie Cheng glanced at the woman who hurried past with surprise. He always felt that the back of the woman looked somewhat familiar.
A face with soft contours appeared in his mind, but then he thought it was unlikely, shook his head and said, "She is a princess now, how could she come to such a romantic place?"
After Jiang Muyu came out of Ruyifang, she didn't rush back to the restaurant. Instead, she took a walk outside and bought a new set of clothes in a clothing store before going back.
…
In this side room, Liang Jinghe hadn't seen Jiang Muyu come back for a long time, so he asked, "Mom has been gone for so long, is nothing wrong?"
Liang Qingchen ate his snacks leisurely and said, "Don't worry, she might have just gone out for a stroll."
"Really? Didn't Sister Yunxuan say that mother went to the toilet?"
"Uh... Father means that she went out for a walk after using the toilet."
Liang Jinghe frowned, thinking that this reason was a bit far-fetched, but seeing his father's calm expression, he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open and Jiang Muyu walked in.
"I just took a walk along the street to digest my food and to enjoy the festive atmosphere. I even bought a new set of clothes," she said with a smile.
She was wearing a rather mature smoky purple Yunyan fine brocade dress, which was completely different from the youthful light blue dress she wore when she came out, but it looked good on her.
Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Zhao Zhao looks good in anything she wears."
Tangtang came over and hugged her legs, saying, "Mom looks good in anything she wears."
Jiang Muyu bent over and picked up Tangtang, put her little face close to hers, and said, "Tangtang's little mouth is like honey, her words are so sweet."
Tangtang giggled, hugged her neck and rubbed it again and again.
Mom’s skin is so nice, so soft and smooth, unlike Dad’s, which sometimes hurts my hands when I touch it.
Several people had already eaten their fill, and as soon as she came back, they left the restaurant.
It's really a small world. Jiang Muyu had only taken a few steps when he ran into Xie Cheng again.
She couldn't help but mutter in her heart: What a narrow road for enemies!
Xie Cheng naturally saw them and walked up to them. Just as he was about to salute, Liang Qingchen said, "Master Xie, there is no need to be polite. There are so many people here that it's hard to see."
By saying this he meant that he did not want to reveal his identity. Xie Cheng understood and just nodded as a greeting.
Xie Cheng looked her up and down and called out, "Zhao Zhao."
Jiang Muyu said with a fake smile: "It's such a good day, but I met Mr. Xie. It's really unlucky."
Liang Qingchen on the side couldn't help but chuckle.
Xie Cheng looked a little embarrassed and frowned, "Why are you talking so angrily now?"
Jiang Muyu said: "If you think I have a bad temper, then next time you see me from a distance, just walk around me and don't come close to me. Otherwise, wouldn't you be asking for trouble?"
"I..." She was so eloquent that Xie Cheng didn't know how to refute her for a moment and his face turned red.
Liang Qingchen said, "Thank you, sir. My husband and I are taking the children out for a walk today, so we won't talk to you any more. See you next time."
Xie Cheng looked at the three children beside them. He didn't recognize one of them and guessed that she should be a noble lady from another family in Beijing.
He took another look at their legitimate son Liang Jinghe, and was surprised to find that his features were 80% similar to Liang Qingchen's, and he immediately felt mixed emotions.
He nodded and said, "Then I will not bother the king...I will not bother you anymore."
"Um."
Liang Qingchen didn't look at him again, holding Jiang Muyu's hand and continued walking forward.
Tangtang asked in confusion: "Dad, Mom, who was that uncle just now?"
Jiang Muyu said: "He was my mother's former suitor."
Liang Qingchen looked at her and said these words calmly, and felt a bit of admiration in his heart - this woman is very thick-skinned.
Tangtang continued to ask: "What is a pursuer?"
Jiang Muyu thought for a moment and replied, "That's right... he likes mom just like dad does, and he wants to marry me and give birth to a baby like Tangtang."
Tangtang immediately puffed up her face in displeasure and said, "No, Mommy has to stay away from him in the future! Mommy can only give birth to Tangtang with Daddy!"
Jiang Muyu was happy, bent down and pinched Tangtang's chubby little face, "Okay."
Liang Jinghe looked at the gentle smile on his mother's face, and his heart finally settled down.
In fact, he had long known that his mother had a childhood sweetheart named Xie Cheng. Xie Beiran, the legitimate grandson of the Duke of Zhenguo, was also studying at the Royal Academy and had never been on good terms with him.
He still remembered what Xie Beiran had said: "Your father and mother were arranged to marry by the late emperor. Your mother likes my uncle, not your father, so she treats you badly! You deserve it! You have a mother who gave birth to you but no one loves you!"
He was so angry that he had a fight with Xie Beiran, and was punished by his tutor to copy the "Standards for Being a Good Pupil and Child" ten times.
Judging from my mother's attitude now, it should be that Xie Cheng has no sense of shame and is obsessed with her.
As it got dark, the group played for a while and then went home.
Maybe because she was tired from playing, Tangtang fell asleep in the carriage.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the palace. Yun Xuan walked over first and took the sleeping Tangtang from Jiang Muyu's hands.
Originally, Liang Qingchen was going to go down first to provide support, but his injuries had not yet healed, and Jiang Muyu did not dare to let him get too tired.
Several people walked into the mansion one by one.
Nanxing said: "Prince, Princess, I will go back first."
"Okay." Jiang Muyu said, "Go back and rest early."
"Yeah." Nanxing turned around and left.
Liang Qingchen looked at her thin back and said, "This child is even less talkative than He'er."
Jiang Muyu nodded, "Yes, a child of this age should be more lively... However, Nanxing is already good enough like this."
At least, she was willing to relax herself when facing them, otherwise life would be too tiring.
When they reached the fork in the road, Liang Jinghe said goodbye to them and returned to Zizhuyuan on his own.
Jiang Muyu sighed and said, "In two years, Tangtang will be separated from her parents and moved out."
Liang Qingchen didn't take it seriously, "We are all in the same mansion, it's not like we can't see each other."
"Well..." Jiang Muyu pursed her lips, "That's what I said, but it's not as easy to see each other as it is now, and the children are getting older, so they won't be so clingy to their parents anymore."
Liang Qingchen said: "They have to grow up, don't they?"
"Uh..." Jiang Muyu was speechless.
He looked sideways at her gloomy expression, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "I am the only one who can always stay by your side."
He was half a head taller than her. Jiang Muyu could only see his eyes by tilting her head slightly. His ink-stained pupils were soft and bright under the moonlight.
She quickly lowered her eyelids, bit her lip, quickened her pace and walked forward silently.
