Chapter 537 Fang's Regret!
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "Well done, go down. Have someone gather all the servants in this courtyard together and tell them that Aunt Fang has some instructions."
"Yes, princess."
Having followed Mu Xin Nuan for a long time, Mu Hua and the others naturally understood that the princess was somewhat angry!
Standing beside the princess, Chunyu glanced at Fang Shi with a somewhat sympathetic look, but there was also a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
The truth quickly came to light, and Mu Xin Nuan did not linger there any longer. She simply instructed people to take good care of the place before returning to her own courtyard.
After nearly an hour of fussing and rummaging around, and without having eaten breakfast, she finally realized she was hungry.
But looking at the time, if I eat now, I'm afraid I won't be hungry again at noon.
Rongyue was thoughtful and quickly brought over two small plates of snacks, not the very sweet kind. One of them was chestnut cake, which was Mu Xinnuan's favorite.
Mu Xin Nuan ate two chestnut cakes, then a piece of mung bean cake, and drank two cups of flower tea before she felt some strength return to her body and regain her energy.
"Miss, that second young lady is indeed up to no good. Do you think we should warn her?"
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "Jin Er might know what Mu Xin Yao has done. She's clever enough to start with someone she doesn't know well."
Rongyue said with some annoyance, "Miss, if it weren't for you today, Madam Li's baby would probably be lost. But think about it, just a few days ago, she was still praising that second young lady to you. I really don't know how someone who looks like a grown woman could think so thoughtlessly."
"How dare you!" Aunt Fang sneered. "How dare you make up stories about Young Madam Li?"
Rongyue then realized that she had only been standing up for her mistress, but had forgotten that she was also a proper mistress.
She pouted, subtly took a step back, and carefully observed the young lady. Seeing that there was no anger on her face, she felt relieved.
Aunt Fang glared at her with amusement, clearly to remind her not to act recklessly or say whatever she wanted just because she was an old servant of the Princess!
If someone were to deliberately spread this information to the Fang family, it would likely cause unnecessary trouble and disputes.
Rong Yue naturally thought of that as well, which is why she remained silent.
“Aunt Fang, you’ll have to take good care of my eldest cousin’s wife. Also, bring back the two nannies I sent to the Lu residence. Let them work as the head nannies at my cousin’s wife’s place for now. I don’t want the same thing to happen again.”
"Yes, princess."
They could all see the weariness on the princess's face, but they also knew that it was because the princess was somewhat disappointed in Fang.
Fang has been in Yanzhou for so long, but has she spent less time with the Princess Consort than with Mu Xinyao?
But after only meeting him a few times, her heart had already turned towards him. Now, she's been betrayed by the very person she thought was good. Fang must be feeling incredibly wronged and upset right now.
"Your Highness, what about the manpower of Madam Li?"
"Let her do whatever she wants. Most of her maids and servants are her dowry. No matter how far I can reach, I can't possibly get in there. As for what happens in the future, let her own fate decide."
Aunt Fang knew the princess quite well, and hearing her say this, she knew the princess was heartbroken. She had been so devoted to the princess, practically giving her her whole heart, but what was the result?
I've only neglected her for a few days, and she's turned into this state!
Thankfully, her child was unharmed; otherwise, she would have had no way to explain herself to Young Master Li and the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
I wonder if that young mistress Li has figured it out yet?
Aunt Fang knew that the princess was upset at the moment, so she didn't disturb her any further. She led her people away, leaving only Mu Hua and Mu Qing to stay.
Those who have followed Mu Xin Nuan for so long naturally know what kind of person she is.
The princess was in a bad mood right now, partly because Mu Xinyao dared to lay a hand on Fang Shi in the Chang Le Prince's Mansion, and partly because she felt that she had treated Fang Shi with all her heart, but in the end, she was not as good as Mu Xinyao!
The thought of Fang's reaction after Xiao Ying confessed everything inside the house made Mu Xin Nuan feel a chill in her heart.
Mu Xin Nuan was genuinely happy that her older cousins could come to Yanzhou.
She had noticed some discord between the couple before, but since she thought Fang was a good person, she went out of her way to accommodate them.
And in the end?
Instead of feeling grateful, Fang thought that Mu Xinyao was the good person.
"Mu Hua, go and tell them that once Jin and Liu arrive, they don't need to come to see me. Just have Aunt Fang take care of them. As for Madam Fang, I don't want to go there for now. Have someone tell her to take good care of herself!"
Does this mean he doesn't want to see Fang again?
Mu Hua didn't dare to ask any more questions. Having served her master for so long, it was extremely rare to see her so furious.
At noon, Duanmu Chuze returned and sensed something was off as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Just then, I saw Rongyue going to serve the meal, so I quickly called her over and asked her a few simple questions.
Rongyue dared not conceal anything and recounted everything in detail. She also hinted that the princess was in a bad mood and that the prince should be careful.
Duanmu Chuze frowned slightly. He didn't have any impression of that Fang Shi, and he had only met her a few times. But this time, she had managed to anger his precious daughter so much that his impression of her immediately worsened.
"Isn't she capable? Go and pass on my message: except for the two matrons sent by the Princess, all the others are to be removed from the courtyard. Let her own people serve her. To avoid any further mishaps that could damage the Princess's reputation."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Rongyue agreed verbally, but how could she dare to actually do it? The prince had never really cared much about matters of the inner quarters, and if the princess found out, she would probably be angry again.
Fortunately, Rong Yue didn't leave. Duanmu Chuze took a couple of steps, then turned back and said, "Forget it. Just ignore her. Give her the cold shoulder for a while and let her figure it out herself."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as he returned to the dormitory, he saw Mu Xinnuan lying on the bed, looking weak and listless. Her complexion was not bad, but the furrowed brows made Duanmu Chuze feel a little sorry for her.
He wouldn't bear to let his own woman suffer even the slightest grievance, but now, just because two outsiders came, he dares to make his darling suffer?
That's completely the opposite!
"Anuan, let's not be angry anymore. Getting angry is bad for your health."
Mu Xin Nuan slowly opened her eyes and softly called out, "A Ze".
