Love is deep but fate is shallow, this beautiful wife has waited for a thousand years

Chapter 194 Acting

Mu Xiaoqiao nodded and said, "I had no choice but to deceive Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not mind."

"Why would I be surprised?" Concubine Rou sighed, "As long as Yu'er is still alive, I have no more extravagant requests. Good boy, call me godmother instead of the old one."

Mu Xiaoqiao lowered her head, "How dare Xiaoqiao be so presumptuous? Otherwise, just call her Madam."

Xueying snorted coldly, "You don't know what's good for you!"

"Xueying, don't be rash." Concubine Rou reprimanded the maid, and then said to Mu Xiaoqiao: "It's up to you. After you and Yu'er get married, you will have to call me mother anyway."

Mu Xiaoqiao felt that Concubine Rou was a little strange today, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She just felt that she seemed to be trying to please her, but this was contrary to her strong personality. She always felt that she was different from the Concubine Rou she knew.

Concubine Rou glanced at the carriage again and said cautiously, "Yu'er, does he not want to see me? Is he still blaming me?"

Mu Xiaoqiao soothed him, "How could that be? The young master...maybe he's afraid that you'd scold him."

Concubine Rou shed tears and said, "I know. I have been forcing him to compete with his brothers for that position. He must be angry with me. I know I was wrong. The Crown Prince, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are all dead. I was bewitched by the devil. If it weren't for Yu'er's mediation, the King might not have forgiven me..."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Mu Xiaoqiao felt a little sorry for her. She helped her walk to the carriage and comforted her softly, "Young Master also understands that you love your son very much, but he is not interested in that position. Don't blame me."

"Don't blame me, don't blame me." Concubine Rou was like an ordinary mother at this moment, begging her son to come home. Her usual strong character was completely gone.

Mu Xiaoqiao helped Concubine Rou to the carriage and called softly, "Sir, the Madam is here to see you."

The carriage curtain moved, and Ruan Haoyu's tall figure appeared in front of everyone. Concubine Rou cried with joy, "Yu'er, please don't blame your mother, okay?"

Ruan Haoyu jumped off the carriage, supported Concubine Rou, and said, "I hope mother doesn't blame me."

"Don't blame me, don't blame me." Concubine Rou hugged Ruan Haoyu and kept crying. At this moment, she couldn't say anything. She just hugged Ruan Haoyu tightly, as if she was holding a treasure that had been lost and found again.

Mu Xiaoqiao stepped back silently, not interrupting their conversation. Nishang approached her silently and whispered, "Commander, I think there's something wrong with Xueying. She seems to hate you."

Mu Xiaoqiao turned her gaze to Xueying, and sure enough, she saw her staring at her with resentment. When she saw her looking at her, she turned her head away and stopped looking at her.

Mu Xiaoqiao didn't know how she had offended her, but she was just a maid, so she didn't take it seriously. "Don't worry about her, I'll be careful."

Nichang didn't take the maid seriously and didn't care after reminding Mu Xiaoqiao. Ruan Haoyu helped Concubine Rou onto the carriage, then got off and discussed with Mu Xiaoqiao. They originally planned to go to Muliang City to see Xiao Mubei, but now it was not convenient to bring Concubine Rou with them, but they couldn't leave her behind. They had to settle her down before they could do their own things.

Besides, they couldn't really let Concubine Rou live with the ancient Buddha and green lamps, but where to settle her was a problem. It was obviously inappropriate to take her to the General's Mansion of Sui State, and Mu Xiaoqiao didn't want her to know her true identity. But the world was so big that they really didn't know where to go.

In the carriage, Concubine Rou lifted the curtain a little and looked at the two people who were discussing seriously not far away. Xueying beside her said bitterly: "Look, your Majesty, now His Highness has to discuss everything with that bitch. It must be that bitch who instigated His Highness to leave your Majesty and run away."

Concubine Rou's eyes were no longer as gentle as before, and she said softly: "Now Yu'er only listens to her, so you must not break up with her, otherwise I'm afraid Yu'er will do anything for her, and then I'm afraid it will be irreparable. Let's take a long-term view."

Xueying's face turned red with anger, she bit her lip and said, "I don't know what kind of seductive tricks she used to coax His Highness into this state, even without the Empress."

Concubine Rou's hands suddenly clenched the curtain, and veins on the back of her hands bulged from the force. She also exuded a cold aura. Xueying was startled and subconsciously said, "Your Majesty, calm down."

After a while, Concubine Rou's hand loosened, her face returned to normal, she smiled faintly, and said, "I want to see how she plans to make Yu'er abandon me and leave me this time."

Ruan Haoyu and Mu Xiaoqiao had no idea what the two people in the carriage were thinking. They were still seriously discussing where to go next. Nishang said, "Commander, I have a good place to go. I wonder if you still remember that Ruxuan once sent a message saying that a caravan passed through the west of Sui State and accidentally found a town. Every family had water and flowers. The people there were very simple and hospitable, and there were many long-lived elderly people. Sui State is like spring all year round, and the air is very good, which is especially suitable for living. Ruxuan thinks it is suitable to build a villa here. When Your Highness is free in the future, you can go there to live and relax."

Mu Xiaoqiao would never remember this, but after hearing what Nishang said, she also began to yearn for it. She felt that it was indeed a good place, suitable for Concubine Rou to live there in her old age.

"What happened later? Did Ruxuan build the villa?"

Nichang was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, she felt that Mu Xiaoqiao seemed to have amnesia recently. She had almost gotten used to it and said, "It has been built. His Highness personally approved it and said that Ruxuan's idea was very good and asked her to start implementing it. His Highness asked about it several times later, right, Your Highness?"

Ruan Haoyu didn't expect the question to be thrown to him. He was stunned for a moment before saying, "Ah, yes, that's right."

Mu Xiaoqiao held his forehead helplessly, what kind of person is this.

"Then how far are we from there now?" Mu Xiaoqiao asked Nishang.

Nichang hesitated for a moment and said, "It's still about ten days' journey."

They are now in the north of Sui State, and the town is in the west of Sui State, so they have to take a detour. Fortunately, Sui State is not very big at the moment, so the distance is not too far.

"Then it's decided. Let's go to..." Mu Xiaoqiao got stuck here, and Nishang quickly added, "Shuiyue Town."

This name is quite elegant. Mu Xiaoqiao complained inwardly and said, "Okay, let's go to Shuiyue Town."

Back in the carriage, Concubine Rou still had that motherly smile on her face. She helped Ruan Haoyu straighten his clothes and said softly, "Yu'er, it's enough for your mother to see you again. You can just find a temple to drop me off. Your mother is old, so she won't follow you and burden you anymore."

When she said this, Ruan Haoyu naturally felt even more sorry for her and comforted her, "Mother, what are you saying? I can't leave you alone. Don't worry, we already have a good place to go. You will definitely like it when you get there. What about the green lamps and ancient Buddhas? I won't allow it."

Concubine Rou was originally testing him, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then asked, "What about you, what about you guys?"

Ruan Haoyu didn't think much about it and answered truthfully: "Xiao Qiao and I have other things to do. After you settle down, mother, we will stay for a few days and then leave."

Concubine Rou and Xueying looked at each other. Xueying got out of the carriage and sat outside side by side with Nishang without saying a word. Nishang looked at her strangely and did not have any good feelings towards her. She did not intend to pay attention to her and drove her own carriage.

In the carriage, Concubine Rou nodded and sighed, "Mother knows that you have your own lives now. Mother will not disturb you. Just let go and do what you want to do. Don't worry about me."

Ruan Haoyu said, "Mother, we have something very important to do. This matter concerns life and death. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but I really don't know how to tell you. After this matter is done, I will definitely come to accompany you often."

Concubine Rou nodded, held Ruan Haoyu's hand tightly, and said, "I understand, Yu'er, don't worry about me, I have Xueying to accompany me, don't worry."

But in her heart, she secretly pondered, what on earth was this matter that concerned life and death? Yu'er said it was so serious, it must be very dangerous, what should she do, how should she stop him?

Ever since she experienced the pain of losing her son and then finding him again, Concubine Rou felt that she could no longer bear the pain of losing Ruan Haoyu. She had to watch over him every day and have him stay by her side. Only in this way could she feel at ease!
