Chapter 510: Chapter 511 Keeping it from me_1 Chapter 510: Chapter 511 Keeping it from me_1 Muniang, resigned to her fate, could only say, “I got it, my husband is the most formidable, what with Nangong Qian, Beigong Qian and all are not worth mentioning.”

Yu Ze pulled Muniang over in one swift motion, pulling her into his embrace, “You’re coddling a child.”

“Don’t you coddle me just the same?”

Yu Ze was about to get angry, but Muniang straight up hugged his neck and initiated a kiss, then tugged at his clothes. Yu Ze instantly lost any trace of anger. With his wife in his arms, actively seducing him, who would still have the mind to think about anything else?

He wrapped his arm around her, pulling Muniang towards the bed, but before things could get cozier, they heard a series of urgent knocks at the door. Yu Ze didn’t want to pay attention, but the old woman insisted, “Lady, lady, the young master and the young miss are awake and crying. I can’t seem to calm them down no matter what.”

Muniang quickly pushed Yu Ze away and started fixing her clothes as she walked out, “I’m coming, I’m coming, I’m on my way.”

Yu Ze’s face immediately darkened; he knew those two kids were born to compete with him for affection. Muniang guessed that Yu Ze must be in a bad mood and quickly said, “Why be upset with the children? Once I’ve calmed them down, I’ll come back to coddle you.”

Yu Ze was both amused and frustrated by her words, this little woman treating him like a child!

Yet he still managed to keep a serious face, pulling her back, perplexing Muniang, but then he bent down to straighten her clothes, “In your rush, you forget everything else. How could I let others see my wife like this?”

Muniang laughed out loud, “Yes, yes, I should only let my husband see me.”

Yu Ze felt much better and gave Muniang’s butt a pat before saying, “Go on, then.”

Muniang ran off cheerfully.

Early the next morning, Muniang had just finished washing up when Qingya came in and said, “Lady, in a few days it will be the Governor’s birthday. The Governor has specifically sent an invitation, requesting your presence.”

Muniang raised an eyebrow, taking the invitation, “Lord Lu is really considerate. Since he came to invite us personally, naturally there is no reason to decline. You go back and relay my message.”

“Yes.”

Muniang took the invitation and rushed to Yu Ze, “Husband, Lord Lu’s birthday is coming up; let’s go join the celebration together.”

Yu Ze pinched her cheek, “You’ve already agreed, so why ask me?”

Caught with her little scheme, Muniang tried to please him with a smile, “Husband, it’s been so long since I had some fun, and our relationship with Lord Lu is so good—how could we not go!”

Muniang knew Yu Ze had a serene temperament. In truth, he did not enjoy these kinds of occasions, so she tried to cajole and coax him into going.

Yu Ze eyed her, saying, “Lord Lu’s birthday celebration won’t be like our house’s full-moon feast where we only invite some close friends. Surely all the elites of Qinghua City will go; after all, it’s the newly appointed official’s occasion. Others will definitely take this opportunity to feel out Lord Lu’s personality.”

Muniang laughed, “That’s an important reason too. I’m just getting established in Qinghua City, and I need to understand the dynamics and networks here. You know, half of Mei Garden’s business is aimed at the elite, and I must figure out those relationships. This event is the perfect opportunity to learn a lot.”

Initially, Yu Ze wasn’t keen on these kinds of events. She had contemplated going alone, but as a woman, and not without a husband, it wouldn’t seem proper for her to attend such events by herself. She didn’t want to be the subject of gossip.

Yu Ze smiled helplessly, “Fine, fine. If you insist on going, how could I not care?”

Muniang, hopping around, hooked her arms around Yu Ze’s neck and planted a kiss on him, “Hubby, you’re so nice!”

Yu Ze, however, tightened his embrace around Muniang’s waist and wouldn’t let go, “That’s it, you’re sending me off with just this?”

He then covered Muniang’s delicate lips with his own and pressed on them for quite a while. But as he kissed her, he felt the urge and simply carried Muniang to the bed for some morning exercise.

Afterwards, Muniang, supporting her waist, almost cried without tears. She had asked him to attend a birthday celebration, but the price she paid was too high!

Yu Ze helped Muniang put on her clothes and got off the bed to tidy up his own clothes. Only then did he suddenly say, “How about I accompany you to Mei Garden today?”

Muniang’s heart skipped a beat, “I haven’t gone these past few days.”

“Mhm, I want to have a look.”

Muniang was genuinely afraid he would run into Rong Liming. If that happened, she couldn’t stop him if he decided to act. Yet immediately, she felt a shiver run down her spine, as if she feared he would catch her cheating. But she was innocent!

Muniang quickly said, “What’s there to see? Let’s just stay at home.”

Yu Ze looked at her, “Wife, are you afraid I might accidentally kill Rong Liming?”

Muniang widened her eyes, “When did you find out?”

Yu Ze pinched Muniang’s chin and planted a forceful kiss, her lips swelling, “What don’t I know? Hiding things from me again. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so forgiving.”

Muniang said aggrievedly, “I was just afraid you’d act rashly and mess things up. After all, the Rong family is quite special. Their daughter is now a favored consort in the palace. If we offend them and that lady holds a grudge, she might speak ill of you to the Emperor. Then the Emperor will have to deal with you again.”

Yu Ze rubbed Muniang’s head, “Silly, do you think I’m so indiscreet? Besides, the Emperor wouldn’t be so unreasonable.”

However, Muniang retorted, “That’s not necessarily true. I’ve heard that the Emperor is really infatuated with Miss Rong. An official once insulted that consort by calling her a seductress, and the Emperor had him beheaded without a second word. Isn’t that scary? If the Emperor tries to harm you again, I would be worried. Let’s just live our peaceful lives. I don’t want you to get caught up in that vortex.”

Yu Ze knew about the incident Muniang mentioned. Although he was in Qinghua City, he still had eyes in the palace. It wasn’t that he coveted anything; he just needed to be sure of the Emperor’s movements. The Emperor didn’t fully trust him and he couldn’t fully trust the Emperor either. He needed to know upfront about any move the Emperor might make, just in case he decided to strike at him.

Lately, reports from the palace were all about that consort. Although she had been in the palace for less than half a year, she managed to win the Emperor’s favor. It meant she was definitely not a pushover.

But Yu Ze was entrusted by the late Emperor to stabilize the Daqian Dynasty. If that woman did anything too outrageous, he would make sure she died without anyone noticing. At this thought, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Yu Ze’s eyes.

Muniang, seeing his intense expression, became nervous, “What’s wrong? Rong Liming hasn’t done anything to me, don’t take it to heart.”

Yu Ze immediately softened his expression with a smile, “If he dared to do anything to you, do you think he would still be jumping around alive?”

Muniang: “…”
