Chapter 575: Chapter 576: Uneasy_1 Chapter 575: Chapter 576: Uneasy_1 Yu Ze laughed jokingly, “You cunning thing, even my mother believed you.”

Muniang smiled slyly, “How could she not? I trained Bingyu by my side for a whole month, just thinking about finding a good day to send her to your room. Now, I’ve simply gone with the flow and did a good deed. The wife I’m taking truly is worth it.”

“Yes, yes, the wife I’m taking is too worthwhile. Has Bingyu been sent over?”

“She’ll be sent over tomorrow. From now on, her life and death are decreed by fate, her wealth and honor are in the hands of heaven. I won’t manage her anymore. The Rong Family is suffering losses, and Lady Rong’s days are not easy. I actually hope this final blow in the snow will be enough to finish her off.”

Yu Ze shook his head, “But I’m afraid it’ll be difficult. Lady Rong won’t let go so easily. It’s only a matter of time before the Emperor turns back to Lady Rong. Your move this time simply extended her deadline a bit.”

“You don’t believe in me?”

“It’s not that I don’t believe in you, but for her, favor is life. She’ll fight desperately to get it or Nangong Qian will kill her. For you, however, it’s not as important. She will fight you to the death, but you won’t fight desperately to snatch. Lady Rong regaining favor is inevitable, sooner or later.”

Muniang listened and indeed found the words reasonable. Last time, when Lady Rong arranged for someone to fake an assassination and frame Yu Ze, the mission was not completed. Nangong Qian himself paid a visit, likely to demand accountability. Yet, Lady Rong was still alive, which meant the only possibility was that Nangong Qian gave her a chance to win back the Emperor’s favor. Otherwise, one could only imagine the consequences.

“However, now that you have arranged for He Fangfei to go to the palace, naturally she won’t be allowed to get too arrogant. Don’t worry,” said Yu Ze.

“It doesn’t matter if she’s arrogant. If we use her well, she might be able to help us in the future.”

“What do you mean? When you said she had her uses before, was this what you meant?”

“But there’s no need to rush with her now. In the future, Nangong Qian’s ambitions will grow. Although he’s currently embroiled in the vortex for the throne and you’ve killed so many of his important spies that he might not recover anytime soon, it doesn’t mean there will be peace forever. Lady Rong is an important piece for him in the Daqian Dynasty; he wouldn’t be so reluctant to discard her otherwise. Without Lady Rong, there will be others. We already understand Lady Rong, but if a new one comes, we might not be able to deal with them. As for her use, well, I’ll tell you about it later.”

Yu Ze smiled, “Then I’ll have to rely on my wife in the future.”

Muniang chuckled, “Husband, I have something I want to discuss with you.”

Yu Ze grinned without sincere amusement, “Whenever you act like this, it’s certainly not going to be anything good.”

Muniang sat down beside him and said softly, “Husband, my Mei Garden wants to expand its influence, so I’m thinking of taking them on a tour.”

“You’re going too?”

“It’s the first time they’re going on tour. I have to lead them. They won’t fare well on their own. Going to new places, they might even run into new troubles, so naturally, I’m worried.”

“Then it’s settled, I’ll accompany you.”

Muniang was startled, “But don’t you have your duties with the Guard? Can you leave?”

Yu Ze wrapped his arms around Muniang, “The Guard is already settled. What else is there that I can’t leave behind? I’m even less at ease with you going alone.”

“What’s there to worry about? As if someone could bully me? I’m not a child. Moreover, the Emperor doesn’t suspect you at the moment, and Nangong Qian shouldn’t either…”

Before Muniang could finish, she sensed Yu Ze’s icy glare and immediately corrected herself, “Nangong Qian is too busy vying for the throne to bother with us, right?”

Yu Ze tightened his arm around Muniang’s waist, “I just don’t feel at ease.”

Muniang gave him a coquettish glare, “Fine, fine, fine, if you’re worried, then you’re worried, if you’re so idle, you might as well come along.”

Muniang stood up and pushed the door open to leave, not bothering with him anymore. Originally, she had been concerned that he would hold some grudge for not being able to go with her, so she spoke softly and gently to him. Now that he wanted to join her, what grudges could he possibly have?

Yu Ze watched his wife, who had suddenly become unrecognizable after being so tender just moments before, and couldn’t help but be amused and frustrated.

She had no idea why he was worried. This little woman was becoming prettier day by day. When she was younger and malnourished, she did not grow well, and thus wasn’t so remarkable, but after being nourished for these past years, she had grown increasingly beautiful and exuded more of a woman’s charm. She never gave him a moment’s peace.

Just leaving her to go out like that, who knew how many men would set their eyes on her? He would be strange not to worry!

“Lady has arrived!”

Muniang walked straight into Mei Garden and said, “Summon Zhong Yulang to see me; I need to discuss something with him.”

The servant hesitated, “Unfortunately, Zhong Manager just left to take care of some business.”

“Oh, then I’ll have a look myself. Miss Chen…”

The servant said with an awkward smile, “Miss Chen has also gone out.”

Muniang paused in her step, a teasing smile playing at the corner of her mouth, “Oh? The two of them went out together, huh?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Muniang smiled and didn’t say anything further, simply walking inside. She had originally planned to discuss the upcoming tour with Zhong Yulang. She wasn’t in a hurry now; she could just wait for a while longer.

“Lady has arrived. We were just rehearsing. How does Lady find this new play? We’re about to finish the current one, and this new one will have to follow right after,” Shen Dong, who had been rehearsing, suddenly saw Muniang arriving and excitedly ran over.

Muniang smiled and said, “You’re the lead in the new play; you must be so happy, aren’t you?”

Shen Dong sheepishly scratched his head, “It’s all because of Lady’s favor; otherwise, I would have thought I had no future.”

“You earned it on your own merit; what am I to take credit for,” Muniang laughed and then suddenly asked, “By the way, how is your Zhong lately?”

Shen Dong was confused, “What about him?”

“I heard that he went out with Miss Chen?” Muniang inquired with a gossiping tone.

“Is that so? I don’t…” Before Shen Dong could finish, a servant rushed in, “Lady, Lady, Zhong Manager has returned and is already waiting upstairs.”

“Oh,” Muniang replied and then stopped gossiping with Shen Dong immediately heading upstairs.

Muniang caught a glimpse of Chen Yuhua hurriedly returning to the backstage and smiled with a curved lip. As she entered the private room, she teased, “Yo, I haven’t come to Mei Garden much these days, did I miss something good? Going out to handle some affairs and even bringing a companion with you, aren’t you?”

Zhong Yulang was taken aback for a moment and replied irritably, “Where did you hear such nonsense again?”
