Chapter 59 Extra: How Much Do You Like Me?
In April, willow catkins are flying and the weather is getting warmer.
When Feng Han arrived, Mu Xi had not finished her work yet. He stood at a distance and looked at Mu Xi for a long time. Unfortunately, Mu Xi did not notice his gaze and was concentrating on explaining the problem to the students.
Although Mu Xi didn't notice Feng Han, someone else did.
As soon as Feng Han came in, he saw a young man standing outside the door who seemed to be waiting for someone. However, in his opinion, this person was not important, so he didn't even glance at him.
The other party walked towards him and asked, "Sir, are you waiting for someone too? Who are you waiting for?"
They were not too close to the classroom, so talking would not disturb those who were taking classes inside.
Feng Han doesn't think it's necessary to be nice to anyone in the world except Mu Xi and his son.
Feng Han glanced at the other person and did not answer.
The other person seemed to be looking for someone to talk to because he was bored waiting, but he didn't expect to be rejected. He smiled awkwardly and walked away.
"Hey, isn't this Madam Mu's husband? Why did you come here all of a sudden and wait here?"
The person who spoke was another teacher, who usually had a good relationship with Mu Xi. Feng Han smiled politely at him and said softly, "My wife didn't know I would be here today."
"Oh, it's a surprise."
The teacher looked at the other young man present. After hearing that this strange man was Ms. Mu's husband, he was dumbfounded.
Feng Han's gaze followed the teacher to the young man, and he naturally noticed his unusual behavior. He frowned slightly, realizing that this man didn't seem to be waiting for one of Mu Xi's students, but rather...
"Mr. Tang, why are you here today?"
Tang Rong was still in a daze, but was brought back to his senses by the teacher's call.
"My...my sister asked me to come find Madam Mu and invite her to dinner tonight."
The teacher subconsciously looked at Feng Han, and seeing that Feng Han was unhappy, he knew that Mu Xi had never told him about Tang Rong, and his heart sank.
I thought to myself, why did I ask such a question? It might cause family conflicts. It would be a big sin.
"My wife? This young master's sister has a good relationship with my wife?"
Tang Rong's face turned pale. He hadn't heard of Madam Mu having any other men in the past two weeks since he arrived in Lin City. He had thought that she had never married...
"Ah, Young Master Tang's elder sister, Lady Tang, is the new county lieutenant of Lincheng. I didn't expect that she is actually Madam Mu's former student. My husband was away a few days ago, so Madam Mu probably didn't have time to tell you."
"Oh?" Feng Han looked at Tang Rong with a playful expression. "So you're my wife's former student. My apologies. Are your family from Lincheng?"
"No." Tang Rong's expression was still grim, but she still politely answered Feng Han's question, whispering, "My family originally lived in Luan County, a small place. Madam Mu used to teach there."
Hearing the word Luan County, Feng Han was stunned for a moment. He smiled slightly and stopped talking.
Just then, Mu Xi finished the get out of class and the students packed up their things and headed out.
Tang Rong seemed to want to go against the flow of people and go directly to find Mu Xi, but Feng Han stood still without moving, so he was too embarrassed to move.
Going past someone else's husband to find Mu Xi...not good.
Fortunately, the teacher who had spoken to them earlier had gone to talk to Mu Xi, and Mu Xi looked over at them.
Mu Xi first set her eyes on Feng Han, with a flicker of doubt in her eyes, then her eyes swept over the man named Tang Rong, with a look of expectation on her face.
Feng Han saw all of this and became angry.
Knowing that this kind of thing might happen when he is not with Mu Xi, Feng Han reminds himself every day to absolutely trust Mu Xi and not lose his temper.
Feng Han told himself that this was his choice, but when faced with such a thing, he was still very angry.
Why are there so many people coveting her in this world!
"Why are you here?" Mu Xi looked at Feng Han and asked, "When did you come back?"
Feng Han forced down all the negative emotions and said softly, "Just arrived."
He glanced at Tang Rong, who was standing aside and staring at them, and said to Mu Xi, "Will my wife introduce us?"
Mu Xi nodded, looked at Tang Rong and said, "This is my husband, Han Yinfeng."
He then looked at Feng Han and said, "This is Mr. Tang Rong. What a coincidence! His sister was a student I taught when I was still in Luan County. She just arrived in Lincheng half a month ago to take up the position of County Lieutenant."
"Oh, that's indeed a coincidence." Feng Han smiled with a forced smile, not warmly. Even if he was not wearing a veil, he would not bother to give a perfunctory smile.
Mu Xi raised her eyebrows and glanced at Tang Rong, wondering how this kid had offended Feng Han.
They must have just met not long ago, right?
"Madam Mu, my sister asked me to remind you not to forget to have dinner at my house."
"I know. I won't forget it this time. I was too busy last time."
After Mu Xi finished speaking, Tang Rong glanced at Feng Han and said, "Since my husband is here, go with Madam Mu. My sister doesn't know that you're married yet... She will definitely be very happy when she finds out."
Tang Rong was very sure that his sister didn't know that Mu Xi was married. After all, if she knew, she wouldn't push him, her own brother, to be someone else's mistress.
The two siblings have a very good relationship, and Tang Rong understands this.
"Okay..."
"He won't go."
Before Feng Han could finish his words, Mu Xi spoke up on his behalf and rejected Tang Rong's impromptu invitation.
After hearing clearly what Mu Xi said, Feng Han frowned and looked angry.
On the surface, he was just a little angry, but in fact, his heart was in turmoil.
"ah?"
Tang Rong was quite surprised, but suddenly a glimmer of hope appeared in her heart. It seemed that Mu Xi's relationship with her husband was not very good.
Or is it that Mu Xi, who looks very different from other women, is actually no different from other women at heart and believes that men should not show their faces in public?
"He just got back and must be exhausted from the long journey. Let him go home and rest for a while. If there's a chance, you and your sister can come to my house for dinner in the next two days. Would that be considered a courtesy?"
After Mu Xi finished speaking, Tang Rong was about to agree when the main person suddenly spoke.
Feng Han frowned and said, "Wife, I'm not tired. When visiting the County Lieutenant's house, it's only respectful to the wife and husband. And since Mr. Tang's sister is your student, I should go meet her and congratulate her in person."
Tang Rong had no right to refute, and as the host, he should of course say something when he heard such words.
"My dear husband, you are so thoughtful." Tang Rong looked at Mu Xi and said softly, "My dear wife, please go with me. I'm sure I want to meet my dear husband, too."
Both of them agreed to this arrangement, but Mu Xi still did not give in and remained silent.
Feng Han's eyebrows were almost twisted into a knot. What secrets were hidden in the Tang family? Why couldn't he go there? Or...
Or is it that after giving birth to a child and being five years older, her appearance is no longer the same as before, and Mu Xi has changed her mind?
The more Feng Han thought about it, the angrier he became. Mu Xi didn't want him to go, but he insisted on going!
Mu Xi sighed softly and said to Tang Rong, "He's afraid of cats, so I'm afraid it's not convenient for him to go to your house. I was embarrassed to tell him directly before."
Feng Han: “…”
He was stunned for a moment, and all the random thoughts in his mind disappeared in an instant. Was this the reason why he directly rejected the invitation?
It turned out that the reason was so simple, not as complicated as he had thought.
Tang Rong was also stunned for a moment. She thought that the relationship between the husband and wife was not good, or that Mu Xi couldn't stand the man showing up in other people's homes. She didn't expect it to be such a simple and surprising reason.
Feng Han took a deep breath, a smile on his face. He glanced at Tang Rong and said to Mu Xi, "It's okay, my wife. How could I let my own problems make you..."
Mu Xi closed her eyes helplessly, not caring that Tang Rong was beside her, and directly grabbed Feng Han's hand and took him aside.
She lowered her voice and whispered, "She has ten cats at home, all with sleek fur. Why do you have to join in the fun? You'll be the one who gets uncomfortable if you go there."
Feng Han's eyes widened slightly, "Ten?"
He thought there would be at most one or two, no wonder Mu Xi didn't want him to go.
Feng Han pursed his lips and looked at Mu Xi, hesitantly saying, "Then come back early in the evening. I'll wait for you. Also, don't drink too much. It will make your stomach uncomfortable."
Mu Xi nodded, turned to Tang Rong and said that he would go alone, and made up an excuse.
Tang Rong naturally wouldn't expose it. He knew that Mu Niangzi's husband was afraid of cats, and he also knew that his family had so many cats, so Mu Niangzi's husband would definitely not go. Thinking this through, it was easy to guess what the wife and husband were whispering to him.
Feng Han went back to the home he and Mu Xi shared alone.
Lincheng is located in a remote area and is not as prosperous as Yucheng overall, but it is much better than Luanxian.
Therefore, the place where Mu Xi lived in Lincheng was okay, of course it could not be compared with Bitian Villa, but this small courtyard was also selected and decided by Feng Han.
The layout of the house is nice and Mu Xi likes it very much.
There are still flowers in the yard that Fenghan planted five years ago. Now is the perfect season and the fragrance is everywhere.
Feng Han quietly supported his chin and was in a daze for a while, then he thought of something and went into the kitchen to make sobering soup for Mu Xi.
Even though they have been together for such a long time, Fenghan is still not very familiar with cooking.
This was his shortcoming, and along with the male workers, he was never able to make Mu Xi a nice set of clothes that she could wear out.
If it were any other woman, he would inevitably be criticized from time to time because of these things, but Mu Xi didn't care about it.
After Mu Xizen said something self-deprecating to Feng Han, he was silent for a while, and then seriously said that he was actually very outstanding, and a man's excellence should not be defined by others.
She said, "You have single-handedly supported the entire Beiqu Pavilion and have also taught the children well. This is your strength, something that others cannot do."
Feng Han was very touched, but whenever he thought about how he was inferior to other men, he would feel inexplicably frightened.
Due to objective reasons, he cannot be with his wife all the time like other men.
Although they have a son, no one knows that Feng Han's son is also Mu Xi's, except for a few people close to him and Ji Lian who is always secretly against him.
Judging from today's situation, the student who could invite Mu Xi to her home must have a relationship with Mu Xi, but even if it is such a relationship, she doesn't know that Mu Xi has a husband.
Since she didn't even know the existence of herself, Mu Xi's husband, she naturally didn't know that Mu Xi had a son.
Feng Han didn't distrust Mu Xi. Counting from the beginning, they had known each other for ten years. Feng Han believed that no one in this world knew what kind of person Mu Xi was better than himself.
He spent so much time trying to get close to her and make her fall in love with him, but the result was still the same.
How could a man suddenly appear and Mu Xi fall in love with him to death? Then his life would be in vain.
The wind is blowing.
Feng Han looked up at the yard. It was too quiet.
Mu Xi usually lives alone in this quiet environment.
Fenghan knew that this was where her pleasure lay. She didn't like noise, crowds, or bustle.
If it were someone else, they would definitely think that Mu Xi was living a miserable life.
In fact, she just felt that it was really comfortable to be left alone.
Feng Han once wanted to find a servant to help Mu Xi. If she was willing, it would be okay to let one of Ming Yu or Ying Zhang stay with her.
Of course, there have always been people around Mu Xi who were secretly protected by him, but Mu Xi never knew... In fact, Feng Han suspected that Mu Xi knew, but never said it.
Mu Xi seemed to have considered finding someone to cook for her at some point, but Feng Han always remembered Zong He.
It was impossible for him to let a man stay with Mu Xi day and night when he was not around.
Find a woman... He tried a few, but they were all dismissed by Mu Xi without exception. She told him that it was because of their incompatibility in personality and she still preferred to be alone and quiet.
Later, Feng Han learned that two of the men knew that Mu Xi's husbands would periodically leave her and return to their own homes to help out, so they wanted to introduce their sons, nephews, and neighbor's children to her as concubines.
Feng Han was extremely angry, and Mu Xi found out. She smiled and tried to comfort him, saying, "It's not that I don't want anything. Why are you so angry?"
How could he not be angry? Whenever he was not with Mu Xi, these inexplicable people would always appear around her. They were either men who rushed to stick to her or women who wanted to introduce men to him.
But... in this world, everyone Mu Xi meets is just a passer-by in her life, including herself.
What made him better than others was that he was persistent and used all kinds of tricks, deception, threats, and half-heartedness to make Mu Xi have a child with him, and since then they had an indelible connection.
After realizing this, Fenghan occasionally panicked, occasionally felt depressed, but most of the time he was calm.
Even though he wanted so much to occupy a special place in Mu Xi's heart, and even though he hoped that Mu Xi would love him more as they spent time together day by day... all of it failed.
But if you think about it from another perspective, the other guys who want to be Mu Xi's bedmate are still far from catching up with him, and your heart will become calm again.
But who were those people? How could they compare to him? Feng Han became a little anxious again...
Repeated changes, worries about gains and losses, these changes have been very common for Fenghan in the past five years.
Mu Xi arrived home earlier than Feng Han had expected. After Feng Han realized what was happening, he immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly.
He heard Mu Xi chuckle softly in his ear. This was the first time Mu Xi smiled at him since they met today.
"You're acting like a puppy."
Feng Han snorted coldly, let go of Mu Xi, looked at her and said, "I don't like cats or dogs."
"Okay, I got it." Mu Xi took his hand and walked inside, and asked him casually: "Why did you come back so quickly this time? Is there something wrong? Didn't you bring Nian'er back last month? Where is Nian'er? Didn't you bring her with you?"
"He'll disturb me and my wife if he's here. I want to be alone with my wife. Why? My wife really wants to see him, not me?"
Mu Xi smiled helplessly, raised her hand and pinched the soft flesh on Feng Han's face, jokingly saying, "Why are you jealous of everyone? He's your son, too. You gave birth to him."
Feng Han lowered his head and sighed silently. Because of the lack of constant companionship, his emotions could not be relieved and had nowhere to be relieved.
What he needed was for Mu Xi to hold him, possess him, tell him over and over again that she loved him, and that all the other men in the world combined couldn't compare to him...
It's just wishful thinking. It's not something Mu Xi can do or say.
Feng Han took a breath and said, "The last time I brought Nian'er here, he kept pestering me to sleep with him. I didn't even have the chance to hug you properly. It was like we hadn't seen each other at all. I miss you."
He hugged Mu Xi again, and Mu Xi laughed again, "Actually, me too..."
Feng Han's body trembled, he let go of her and stared at her.
Mu Xi smiled and said, "Although it's a bit unfair to Nian'er to say this, but..."
Feng Han took the initiative to kiss Mu Xi, interrupting her unfinished words with a kiss, very passionately.
…
Mu Xi didn't smell much of alcohol, so Feng Han asked her about it. She said she refused but only drank one glass.
Feng Han blinked and asked what happened to Tang Rong's sister.
Mu Xi said, "To be honest, it happened not long before you arrived in Luan County. Tang Qi originally came from a poor family, but she was very hardworking. She was smart, honest, and worked much harder than other children. Her success was inevitable, and the same would have happened with another teacher. However, it happened to me, and everyone at the time said that her success was my credit."
After listening to this, Feng Han looked calm and said, "It sounds like this Madam Tang is quite remarkable."
Mu Xi nodded. "Yes, it was not easy, but it was fate. She was originally highly regarded, but she was rigid and didn't know how to take sides. She chose to remain neutral. After Mu Qi became emperor, he tried to win him over, but Tang Qi still wanted to be a loyal minister, so she was abandoned. People with less ability than her but better officials got promoted. Now she feels frustrated and depressed."
"So you always ask me to go to her house to talk?" Feng Han frowned slightly. "When she says these things, my wife must feel uncomfortable. If you really value your words, why don't you think more about her?"
"It's not like she always asks me to go." Mu Xi said, "Besides, she has only been in Lin City for half a month. She doesn't ask me to go over just to complain. She doesn't know Lin City well. I have been here for five years, so naturally I am the most suitable person to answer her questions and solve her doubts."
Feng Han was silent for a while, then asked Mu Xi, "Is this Madam Tang married?"
Mu Xi looked at Feng Han with a smile and jokingly asked, "Why? Are you attracted to her?"
Feng Han felt a surge of anger. He didn't like Mu Xi saying such things, even as a joke.
How could he fall for another woman? This is simply... a slander against his feelings.
Normally Mu Xi wouldn't say something like this, Feng Han knew it was because she had been drinking and had lost her composure in her jokes.
"What are you talking about, my lady? Please don't make such jokes."
A hint of surprise flashed across Mu Xi's face, and she realized belatedly that she had said something hurtful to Feng Han.
"I'm sorry." She closed her eyes and apologized to Feng Han again. "My mouth is faster than my brain. I didn't mean anything else. You know."
"I know, but it still makes me sad to hear my wife say that." Feng Han said sincerely.
Mu Xi looked at him and nodded gently, "I understand. I won't do it again next time. I'm sorry this time."
Feng Han curled his lips, his bad mood came and went quickly.
Mu Xi said, "Tang Qi is married and has two children, but the children haven't come with her yet. Her husband has always been by her side."
In fact, Tang Qi had two concubines and a maid, all of whom she had taken in when she was a high-ranking official in the capital. However, Mu Xi had sobered up from the previous incident and knew that she couldn't let Feng Han know about this, otherwise he would think too much when she was not around.
"Since Madam Tang's husband is here, why did your brother invite her? Is he interested in her?"
"No." Mu Xi thought for a moment and said, "But Tang Qi asked about you tonight. She seemed to have misunderstood me before and thought I wasn't married. When she found out I had a son, she was shocked, but she didn't tell me anything else."
Feng Han pursed his lips and asked, "Is Mr. Tang engaged?"
"No..." Mu Xi was unsure, "Probably not. I haven't heard them mention it, nor have I asked."
"That's it." Feng Han pouted, a little unhappy. "Why would they think that my wife hasn't married yet and has no children? Could it be that my wife has never mentioned us father and son? In this way, it's not surprising that others don't know."
Mu Xi was speechless for a moment, then said, "I forgot whether they asked me or not. I probably didn't, otherwise I would have told them. If they hadn't asked, I wouldn't have said anything. Others didn't ask, but I took the initiative to tell them that I have a husband and a son. Isn't that very self-centered?"
Feng Han knew that this was Mu Xi, but he really hoped that Mu Xi would take the initiative to tell everyone she met that there was someone in her backyard and they didn't need to worry.
If possible, Feng Han really wanted to write on a board and hang it on Mu Xi so that everyone could see it wherever she went.
He knew clearly that this was a woman that no one else could covet except him, and no one else could get except him.
"My lady, if you keep thinking like this, it will always give people unwarranted fantasies, which will not only hurt yourself, but also others."
Mu Xi suddenly realized. After talking so much with Feng Han, she seemed to understand why Tang Rong looked so strange tonight.
"...No way, Tang Rong is only sixteen this year, and I'm twenty-three, seven years older than him. How could his sister be so depressed?"
In modern times, a relationship between an older woman and a younger man with a seven-year age difference is nothing, but the social environment here is different.
Mu Xi's son is almost five years old. Tang Rong is seven years younger than her. At sixteen, Tang Rong is only eleven years older than her son Mu Nianhan.
"In their opinion, Madam Tang lives alone and keeps herself clean. Madam Tang was demoted and left her brother to be taken care of by Madam Tang, which is marrying above her station. Could it be that they look down on Madam Tang? How can they have the confidence to look down on others? Madam Tang is a good place to be, with so many people watching her." Feng Han's analysis...sounded very reasonable.
Mu Xi was silent for a moment, then said, "Don't they ask about it? Even if I didn't tell others, they would know about your existence. What if they asked?"
Feng Han didn't say anything. He felt that it was actually very strange in the eyes of others because his husband was always not around Mu Xi.
It's just like not having a husband.
So if Mu Xi has no one around her, does it make a big difference whether he is her legal husband or a concubine?
They are all Mu Xi's bedmates.
If Tang Rong spends much more time with Mu Xi than Feng Han, the legal husband, then Feng Han's position as the legal husband is just an empty title.
Five years ago, Feng Han told Mu Xi his true feelings on New Year's Eve, which moved Mu Xi to tears.
About half a year after giving birth to their son, Feng Han mentioned his plans for the future again. Mu Xi was still hesitant. Out of a sense of responsibility, she felt that it was really unwomanly to leave a man who had given birth to a child for her.
But Fenghan was firm in his attitude. He said that if she was tied up because of the child, neither of them would be happy.
Furthermore, he said that he had heard someone say that it is easy for a husband and wife to have conflicts when they are together day and night. In fact, their relationship will become closer only if they meet each other after a period of time.
Mu Xi became more and more moved.
Ji Lian no longer came to ask her to join the game, and the Second Princess seemed to have completely forgotten about her.
Mu Xi thought that perhaps Ji Lian had taken her words to heart, but she was not quite sure why the other party did not come to her to claim credit for his efforts.
In any case, he seemed to have escaped the original owner's fate.
In fact, what Mu Xi didn’t know was that behind the calmness, Feng Han was making careful plans.
Some old people from Feiming Valley also heard the news that Mu Xi was still alive, and went to ask Ji Lian. Ji Lian was naturally speechless and could not say anything. So those people went to investigate on their own, but Feng Han managed to stop them, and finally they had to give up.
Mu Xi knew nothing about what happened behind the scenes, and Feng Han would not let her know.
Feng Han persuaded Mu Xi again, and she was convinced.
Agree to give it a try.
Feng Han heard her agree. It was clearly what he hoped to accomplish, but when it actually happened, he felt empty inside.
He didn't want Mu Xi to leave. If possible, the idea that a wife and husband who had been separated for a period of time would become inseparable when they met was all nonsense.
Feng Han wanted to be with Mu Xi day and night, and ignore everyone else.
But it doesn't work.
Feng Han knew very well that he would be sad if he did this, but Mu Xi was always trapped by his side, so she was also sad.
Mu Xi had already made a huge concession for him by allowing him to have her child. He did this just to make her a little happier.
Feng Han told himself and Mu Xi that they would not stay together all the time like other wives and husbands because they were different from other wives and husbands, but they were still wife and husband, there was no doubt about that.
With red eyes, he said that Mu Xi must not fall in love with another man, otherwise he would hate himself for the rest of his life.
At that time, Mu Xi asked him with a smile, "Why don't you hate me?"
"I do want to." Feng Han muttered. Mu Xi stopped smiling, looked at him, kissed him, and said seriously: "Okay, I promise you."
Feng Han knew that promises were unreliable, but he had no other choice.
He told Mu Xi that even if they were rarely together and even if they did not hold a wedding ceremony, they had to acknowledge that their relationship was that of wife and husband, and this must never change.
Mu Xi agreed.
Lincheng was the place Fenghan had chosen for Muxi in advance. It was a bit like Luanxian, but the overall quality of life was much higher than Luanxian, although not as good as Yucheng.
They bought a yard with their child, and Mu Xi moved in. She successfully got a job as a teacher in a local school. With a relatively stable job, she suddenly felt at ease.
Mu Xi was grateful for Feng Han's generous change, and she had expressed this to Feng Han before, but Feng Han was so lost in the sadness of their impending separation that he didn't take her seriously.
During these five years, the relationship between the two of them has been relatively stable.
Feng Han's constant dissatisfaction made every meeting between the two of them like a passionate affair.
Mu Xi smiled and said, "A short separation is better than a new marriage..."
Fenghan stared at her fiercely and tried to bite her tongue.
In fact, Fenghan's concerns are correct.
After Tang Rong talked with her sister Tang Qi and brother-in-law, the three of them agreed that Han Yinfeng was nothing to be afraid of.
"Madam Mu is soft-hearted and easily deceived. My brother said that her husband is extraordinary in both appearance and temperament. It is impossible for someone as honest as Madam Mu to control him. No wonder he is a man but does not stay with his wife. There may be other problems, but Madam Mu is embarrassed to say it."
Tang Rong was moved by what she heard, but still hesitant.
"But... Sister, I don't want to be a concubine."
There is not a single man in this world who doesn't want to be a legal husband.
Tang Rong was naturally no exception.
Tang Qi also didn't want her younger brother to become a concubine in her teacher's house. She was a county lieutenant who had just taken office, and it would not look good if the news got out.
Tang Rong's brother-in-law, Ning, said, "I think my brother still has a chance. Start with Lady Mu's husband. He should be criticized for always going home instead of being with his wife. Give him a good scolding. It won't be difficult for him to get a second husband position. If he doesn't seize the opportunity, don't blame others for getting there first. Once my brother wins Lady Mu's favor, he, the legal husband, will be a second husband, even worse than a concubine."
These words made Tang Rong eager to do something, but Tang Qi never expressed his opinion.
She had never met Mu Xi's husband, but she knew that there must be something wrong if he never stayed with his wife.
But Tang Qi didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Tang Rong have this idea. After all, based on her understanding of Mu Xi, if Mu Xi didn't really like him, how could she tolerate such a man living such a weird life with her.
There must be something hidden behind this.
But after Tang Rong whispered to Ning, she could no longer listen to her sister.
However, before Tang Rong and Ning could start humiliating Mu Xi's husband, they were caught red-handed by Mu Xi herself just by appearing at their doorstep.
Ning smiled awkwardly and said that she would invite the husband and wife to her home for dinner. Mu Xi frowned slightly and said that her husband was afraid of cats, and asked if Tang Rong already knew about it.
"Ah, yes." Ning responded quickly. "I just thought that if Madam Mu and Mr. Mu were to visit our home, we should lock those little things up."
"No need." Mu Xi looked at Tang Rong who was standing beside her anxiously and said softly, "You came at the right time. I have something to tell you."
Tang Rong's body stiffened as he stared at Mu Xi with wide eyes. Ning smiled and said, "Okay, okay, then I won't bother you two anymore. Brother, I'll wait for you in the carriage."
Mu Xi did not take Tang Rong into the yard, but took him to the outside of the wall of his own backyard.
Tang Rong pinched her fingers, her heart pounding like thunder, and asked, "What does Madam Mu want to say to me?"
Mu Xi asked him, "Let me be frank. Is your sister trying to set us up?"
Just this sentence, Tang Rong's pretty face flushed red, he stammered: "I...she...don't..."
"If not, then forget it. If you really have this idea, I will talk it over with you today. Your sister is a bit taciturn, and there are some things she is embarrassed to tell me. It will definitely be more convenient for you two siblings to talk."
The redness on Tang Rong's face faded, and an ominous premonition arose in her heart.
"Madam Mu..." he asked, "What do you want to say?"
"I already have a husband and my son is almost five years old, seven years older than you. There's no way between you and me."
Tears welled up in Tang Rong's eyes. "You're not too old, and I'm not too young either..."
Mu Xi now understood completely. It turned out that they really meant this. Feng Han was the one who saw it clearly.
She said, "I'm your elder sister's teacher. You just don't know me well enough. If you were to be with me, you'd definitely come home crying in less than a year. What would happen to your elder sister and I then? I don't want to make things so complicated. There are not many people in this world who can tolerate me, not even you, let alone..."
Tang Rong had already shed a few tears and looked at her eagerly.
"What's more, you're not my type." After Mu Xi finished speaking, Tang Rong sobbed twice. Seeing that she was unmoved, she ran away angrily, wiping her tears.
Fenghan could hear it clearly from the other side of the wall.
He couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Mu Xi had said the same thing to him before.
But the previous sentence—
"There are not many people in this world who can tolerate me..."
She really underestimated herself as always.
After Mu Xi returned home, Feng Han hugged her again.
"puppy?"
"Woof."
Mu Xi looked at him in surprise, "Did the sun rise from the west today?"
Feng Han looked at Mu Xi with a smile and asked in a sticky tone, "My wife always said she didn't like me before, but what about now? Do you like me more?"
"Yes." Mu Xi nodded and thought for a moment, "You are now the most important and favorite person to me in this world." She added, "Nian'er is behind you, but don't tell him. I'm the worst at handling family conflicts."
Feng Han's eyes were red, "Yeah."
That’s enough, Fenghan thought.
