2635 The Young Crown Prince Consort’s Modus Operandi
Mu Jingrui sighed as he patted Mu Xingchen’s shoulder. “Let’s go, Xingchen. The little fellow will be staying here for several days. We will be able to find a chance to mend relations with her.”
Will there be a chance?
Mu Xingchen turned back to look. He then turned to look at Mu Jingrui.
Mu Jingrui smiled encouragingly at him and gave a nod.
“Sigh, I’ll go check on Third Brother,” Mu Jinglao hastily said.
Third Brother had been shaken up starting from earlier. If talking about whom in the Mu Clan was most affected by Eldest Sister-in-Law’s death, that would be Mu Jingyuan.
Mu Jinglao couldn’t help but heave a deep sigh when he recalled certain events from the past.
“Go then.” Mu Jingrui nodded and watched Mu Jinglao leave.
Meanwhile, Qiao Mu and Mo Lian arrived at the entrance to Magnolia Court with Mu Qingya’s guidance.
The courtyard was not considered small. It was clean and tidy, and it looked rather comfortable.
An old biddy led seven to eight slender and pretty maidservants inside. They were waiting quietly inside the court.
When they saw their masters enter, the old biddy led the maidservants forward to bow in greeting. Their etiquette was impeccable.
Mu Qingya said gently, “Qiaoqiao, this is Nanny Zhou. You can just tell her if you need anything. She is an old hand in the estate and knows about everything. She will definitely handle things appropriately for you.”
“This old servant greets the crown prince and the crown prince consort.”
Crown Prince Mo and Qiao Mu gave nonchalant nods.
The four first-rank maidservants that stepped forward with Nanny Zhou encompassed all body types. They were respectively called Meixian, Lanxian, Zhuxian and Juxian.
The servant girls were of second and third rank. They did not have many opportunities to show their faces in front of their masters.
Qiao Mu merely swept a glance over them before walking inside with Caixiu and Caiqi.
Mu Qingya said with a smile, “The room has been prepared. Qiaoqiao, walk inside here.”
The couple’s bedroom was the largest room on the south side. When they pushed open the door and entered, everything inside was spotless.
Bedding, mats, tea sets, and everything they might need was there. It was evident that the person who made arrangements had put thought into it.
Mu Qingya smiled at Qiao Mu. “Qiaoqiao, you and Your Highness the Crown Prince should be tired by now. I will not intrude any longer and will leave first. If you still need anything, just have Nanny Zhou dispatch a servant girl to tell me.”
It would not do to snub someone who was doing you a favor. Since Mu Qingya was being rather tactful, Qiao Mu naturally wouldn’t make her lose face on the spot.
She nodded and told Mu Qingya, “Thank you for your trouble.”
Mu Qingya’s smile turned brighter. She waved her hand repeatedly and said, “You child, you don’t have to be so polite with me. Alright, you go get settled.”
“Conglu.”
“Yes, Madam!” The 16 or 17-year-old servant girl called Conglu hastily jogged up and curtsied toward the crown prince and the crown prince consort. She then retreated outside with Mu Qingya.
After Mu Qingya left with Conglu and the others, Qiao Mu then turned to instruct Caixiu, “Go outside and tell them to stay in the outer courtyard from now on. Without special instructions, they cannot casually enter the inner court, particularly this southern room area.”
She naturally did not need miscellaneous people inside her inner court.
The little fellow had never been particular about things. She liked quiet and never liked having so many random people popping out in front of her. It was annoying to see them.
