Chapter 13 The Frustrated Mousse and Wen Ye



"Since the Wen family has sent an invitation to the flower-viewing banquet, Wei'er and Qing'er can take Shu'er with them when the time comes. Shu'er has already returned, and it's time for her to go out and see the world. The Wen family's flower-viewing banquet will surely not be too bad." The old lady made the final decision.

"My mother just gave me some newly arrived fabrics from the south when I returned home yesterday. The patterns and designs are all the best. I'll have the craftsman come to make clothes for Shu'er this afternoon. I guarantee that Shu'er will be beautiful!"

Rong Qing felt that this flower viewing banquet was the first time his little niece made an official appearance in public, so it had to be presented in a grand manner.

"I'm going to attend the banquet the day after tomorrow. Is there still time?" the old lady asked a little worriedly.

"Mother, don't forget that my sister-in-law and I both own shops. We'll ask the master to come to your house this afternoon to tailor clothes for Shuer." Rong Qing said with a smile.

"Don't worry, mother. Look, my sister-in-law has made all the arrangements. If I don't call the master, she will be angry with me!" Song Wei joked with a smile.

"Mother, look, my sister-in-law is teasing me again!" Rong Qing complained to her mother-in-law, causing the others to laugh.

"We still have clothes. I'll make Shu'er's first. After the party is over, I'll distribute the fabrics that Mother gave to everyone."

Rong Qing felt that if everyone did it, it would be too late, so he suggested that Rong Shu do it first.

"Madam, can you make one for me first?" Mousse asked with an apologetic smile.

"Husband, your clothes were just made last time. Why are you in such a hurry to make them this time?" Rong Qing expressed her incomprehension.

"Madam, you see, we are going to the Wen Er family. He usually likes to quarrel with me the most. This time I am going to wear the brightest clothes and bring Shu Er to show off in front of him. Who can blame him for not having such a cute little niece?"

"My dear, this is a flower-viewing banquet, and it's also the first time that Shu'er appears in front of everyone, so you should not make trouble, especially you must not quarrel with Master Wen. Just bear with it if something happens." Rong Qing made a few threats at the end.

"Mother!" Mousse wanted to beg the old lady, but the old lady glared at him and he didn't dare to say the rest.

"Second brother, if it's Shining, it must be Shu'er and me. You're dreaming." Mu Shi wanted to beat up his younger brother.

"And us!" Several brothers were also unhappy.

"Okay, all of you calm down and do as my sister-in-law says. This time, time is tight, so we'll only do it for Shu'er." Song Wei also glared at her husband and son.

Although they no longer dared to speak, their eyes fought with each other for hundreds of times.

At this time, Wen Mansion.

After lunch, old lady Wang asked everyone to stay and specifically called out Wen Ye.

"Mother, do you have anything to tell your son?" Wen Ye heard his mother call his name and thought that the old lady had something to say to him.

"I'm just letting you know that from now on, don't quarrel with the Second Master of the Mu Family, no matter the occasion or time."

"Mother, isn't it okay if Mu Er comes to quarrel with me first?" Wen Ye grumbled dissatisfiedly.

"If you delay Jing'er and the Fifth Miss, I will punish you. You guys should keep an eye on him in the court and stop indulging him. Second son's wife, you should also be strict with him at home."

The old lady was worried about Wen Ye, and she emphasized it again to Prime Minister Wen and her eldest son, saying that even Mrs. Wen Ye could not escape.

"Mom, how can you do this? Mu Er is Mu Er and the Fifth Miss is the Fifth Miss, how can they be the same?" No one paid any attention to Wen Ye's protest, everyone only listened to the old lady.

"Keep an eye on him. If not, give him a few days off!" the old lady said helplessly.

"No, I don't want to take a leave. Mother, I promise I won't quarrel with Mousse." Wen Ye hurriedly promised his mother, fearing that his mother would lock him up immediately.

"Husband, just be patient these few days. We will know after the flower-viewing banquet." Madam Wen advised.

"I understand. For the sake of my third brother, I can endure it. I'm not afraid of Mu Er." Wen Ye muttered softly.

Prime Minister Wen shook his head helplessly. His second son was too lively and not steady enough. Fortunately, he was not the eldest son, otherwise he was worried that the Wen family would be defeated by him.

The next day in court.

Everyone was surprised to find that on normal days, no matter what Master Mu said, Master Wen would always object or argue, but today he was silent.

Both the civil and military officials were extremely curious. Even the emperor looked back and forth between the two of them several times. Until the end of the court session, there was no sign of Master Wen and Master Mu having a quarrel. Everyone's enthusiasm for gossip reached its peak.

On the way back from the court, Mousse couldn't help but ask his eldest brother, "Brother, do you think Wen Er is crazy? He didn't argue with me today, and he didn't oppose my proposal."

Mu Shi really didn't want to pay attention to his brother, but his mother told him to keep an eye on his brother. He glanced at his brother and said, "Have you forgotten what your mother said?"

"No, you see, I didn't argue with him at all today. I'm going to tell my mother when I get home. Wen Er must be scared of me because I didn't argue with him last time." If Mousse had a tail, it would be sticking up at this moment.

"I advise you to behave yourself in the next few days, otherwise if your mother finds out, you will be the one who suffers in the end." After saying this, Mu Shi closed his eyes and dozed off.

Mousse saw that his elder brother seemed to not want to pay attention to him and felt that he was too boring. It was too frustrating for him to have no one to share the joy of victory with, until he returned home and met Murong Shu, who loved to eat melons.

The Imperial Palace.

The emperor held back the entire morning court session and immediately ran to the queen's palace. Concubine Li happened to be there too, and the emperor immediately started complaining to the two of them about Mousse and Wen Ye.

"Your Majesty, you are usually troubled by their quarrels. Today they stopped quarreling. Why aren't you used to it?" Concubine Li asked curiously.

"I'm just not used to it. Today we suddenly stopped quarreling, and I even felt that the morning court was not lively anymore!" said the emperor a little embarrassedly.

"Then Your Majesty must get used to it. It should be that mother has issued an order not to allow Second Brother to cause trouble before the flower-viewing banquet, so Your Majesty can have two days of peace." Queen Wen Qing roughly guessed the reason.

"Hahaha, that's great. Next time they quarrel, I will complain to my mother-in-law." The emperor joked with the queen.

"Your Majesty, I have also heard that Second Master Mu is extremely filial and is most afraid of Old Madam Mu. If Your Majesty finds it noisy, you can complain to Old Madam Mu. After all, Old Madam Mu has watched Your Majesty grow up and loves Your Majesty the most."

When Concubine Li heard that the Emperor was going to complain, she thought of Mousse. Her eldest brother and Mousse had a very good relationship, but Mousse was very naughty when he was a child and always bullied her. Now the opportunity for revenge had come. As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Isn't this exactly referring to Mousse?

"Hahaha, Li'er, this is a great idea. As soon as Queen Ming is free, summon Madam Mu to the palace."

"I think Sister Li just wants to take revenge!" The Queen covered her mouth and laughed. She knew the grudge between Mousse and Concubine Li very well.
