As for the fact that Xu Muhua came back again, everyone in the Chengguo Mansion was used to it and was not surprised or shocked at all. Xu's mother didn't even ask her if she had the prince's permission.

You don't need to ask to know that she will definitely say that it was the prince who agreed.

Yes, the prince has a good temper and he lets her do as she pleases and spoils her.

Originally they were worried that she would be neglected after entering the Eastern Palace, but now it seems that she and the prince should get along well.

If you marry into the royal family, don’t think about love and romance like ordinary people. The key is to consolidate your status.

Because Xu Rui was leaving, people from the Xu Mansion next door also came to the house after hearing the news, saying that they wanted to see Xu Rui off.

Since they said it was a farewell gift, it was naturally difficult for the people in Duke Chengguo's Mansion to refuse.

The two families sat down and had a meal, and the atmosphere was quite good.

Xu Rui is also ready to go.

Geng Zhiqiu's eyes inevitably turned red, but he controlled his emotions and did not cry. He was worried that if he cried, it would make people more worried.

Xu Rui called Xu Muhua aside, and looked at her with a look of shame, reluctance, and heartache, which finally turned into a series of admonitions: "Brother knows that you are married, and the facts of your mother's family should not be pushed onto you. It's just that your sister-in-law just got married not long ago, and I'm afraid she is not used to it yet."

"You have always been smart and thoughtful, so I'd like to ask you to take care of the family."

Xu Muhua rolled his eyes. "Brother, listen to what you are saying. Do you think I am not a member of the Xu family after I get married? You treat me as an outsider, right?"

Xu Rui was amused by her eye-rolling action and patted her head, "You are already the prince's concubine, why are you still acting like a child? If someone sees such a vulgar action, I don't know whether they will laugh at you or the prince."

"It was the royal family's idea to marry me as a concubine. I didn't ask for it. He has to endure whatever I do. He has to finish the path he has chosen even if he has to kneel down."

Xu Rui couldn't help but reach out and tap her forehead again, "You are so disrespectful and careless!"

Xu Muhua covered his forehead and looked at her with resentment.

"Okay, big brother is about to leave. If there is anything happening in the capital, please write to me. I think my parents only report good news and not bad news." He didn't trust them. As for his wife, she must be the kind of person who would swallow her bitterness.

Xu Muhua rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, aren't you afraid that I will only report good news and not bad news?"

"You can tell the difference."

Maybe she would report good news but not bad news, but if it was really something important, she would not hide it.

"Since you trust me so much, I won't let you down. Don't worry, brother! Protect yourself at the border. Sister-in-law is waiting for you to come back! And..." Xu Muhua suddenly winked.

Xu Rui raised his eyebrows when he saw the mischievous expression on her face, "And what?"

Xu Muhua moved closer to him and deliberately bumped him with his arm, "And who knows, maybe your sister-in-law is pregnant with your child now, what about my little nephew!"

The tips of Xu Rui's ears suddenly turned red. He clenched his fists and looked at her unhappily.

I really want to punch her!

However...his eyes softened, and a hint of anticipation actually rose in his heart.

It would be a good thing if Zhiqiu was really pregnant, but it was unfair for her that her husband was not around.

Xu Muhua saw through his thoughts at a glance and assured him, "Don't worry, brother. If sister-in-law is really pregnant, we will take good care of her and let her give birth to the baby safely and healthily."

Xu Rui came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern."

The family sent Xu Rui to the city gate and watched him leave again.

Xu Jiang had left with them before, but this time he was alone.

General Xu had mixed feelings and felt very uncomfortable.

"Go back!" General Xu gently touched his wife's hand. It was not appropriate to do any intimate actions outside.

Mother Xu nodded with slightly red eyes, "Go back!"

I have experienced this countless times, but I am still not used to it. In the past, I sent my husband and son away, but now I just have to watch my son's back.

I don’t know when this kind of life will end!

The family turned around and prepared to go back.

Xu Muhua suddenly spotted a figure in the crowd and immediately shouted, "Hey, cousin-in-law, are you here to see my brother off too? Why didn't I see you just now?"

Her shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

When General Xu saw Su Zijiao, he thought of what his daughter had said to him, and his eyes darkened.

Su Ziqiao was not in a hurry. He walked out of the crowd, walked in front of General Xu and bowed, "Duke."

After a simple greeting, he answered Xu Muhua's question with a smile on his face: "I was about to go out of town to do some business, so it was inappropriate for me to come up and disturb you just now."

Xu Muhua tilted his head, "Doing things? Why didn't I hear my cousin's husband mention it when I was in the mansion?"

Earlier, their family had a brief reunion with them at Duke Chengguo’s Mansion!

Su Zijiao said humbly, "It's just a small matter. The prince is leaving the capital today. How can I have the nerve to ruin the atmosphere of everyone's reunion with such a small matter?"

"Is that so? So my cousin's husband is going out of town for some business now?"

Su Ziqiao said: "Well, I am preparing to leave the city, otherwise I won't be able to get back in the evening."

Xu Muhua nodded and kindly reminded: "Then you must be careful and pay attention to safety!"

The expression on Su Zijiao's face froze for a moment, and he looked at Xu Muhua with some suspicion.

But seeing her sincere face and open eyes, he couldn't help but wonder if he was being too suspicious.

"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Xu."

After mumbling a few words, Su Zijiao left, and Xu Muhua also left as if nothing had happened, both of them left in different directions.

After walking a few steps, Su Ziqiao couldn't help but look back, but he only saw the backs of the family leaving. He frowned and thought about what happened recently, but didn't find anything suspicious. In the end, he had to suppress the doubts in his heart.

General Xu deliberately fell behind by a few steps, and Xu Muhua also slowed down his pace tacitly.

"Mu Hua, why did you stop Su Ziqiao just now? Did you find something wrong?"

Xu Muhua smiled, "Dad, don't think too much. I did it on purpose to scare him. He is guilty of his crime, and if I do this, he will definitely be suspicious and wonder if we have discovered something. You never know, if he panics, he might reveal his true colors."

General Xu frowned. For some reason, he always felt that she was hiding something from him.

"Don't hide anything from Dad again!"

Xu Muhua refused to admit it. "No, I have never hidden anything from you, Dad! Dad, don't think too much about it. You are so suspicious, which doesn't seem like a great general!"

General Xu was choked.

This kid is trying to turn the tables and doesn't even think about why he is like this. It's because she has a criminal record!
