Chapter 2697: Chapter 28: Cultivating Feelings Before Marriage
As for the Second’s death, although there’s no evidence, she instinctively feels it can’t be unrelated to the Ye Haoxuan brothers.
Originally, she wanted Xiaofei to enter the Ye Family, so she could stir things up there and avenge her son, but unfortunately, Mu Shuang disrupted everything. She hates Mu Shuang, but she also fears the Mu Family.
However, the one who was chased out, Xiaoyu, could be of some use.
If Xiaoyu can take the opportunity to cause the Ye Family and Mu Family to break off their marriage alliance, she would find it amusing.
On this day, the seamstress from Prince An’s Mansion delivered the groom’s outfit. Yang Chuxia was planning to call Qingqing to try it on but couldn’t find him anywhere in the mansion.
"Do you know where Qingqing went?" she asked Ye Haoyang who had just come by.
"Probably went out with Shuangshuang," he replied.
"What?" Yang Chuxia was speechless, "That darn boy, your Uncle Shaofeng already doesn’t have a good impression of him, and he still goes out to provoke him. Plus, your Auntie Fan dislikes unruly juniors the most. Isn’t Qingqing just asking to be disliked?"
"Don’t get worked up," Ye Zi’an advised from the side, "Since he managed to invite the person out, Mu Shaofeng must be turning a blind eye. It’s good for the two children to interact more before getting married, to develop some feelings for each other, so their days ahead can be harmonious."
"I just wanted him to try on the outfit, so I can make adjustments if needed."
At this moment, Ye Rongqing had just brought Mu Shuang from the Mu Family.
Actually, his ability to smoothly bring her out was thanks to Qi Yunqiao’s assistance.
"Shuangshuang, are you hungry?" Ye Rongqing asked as they passed by a pastry shop.
Mu Shuang shook her head, "Not hungry," she said, pulling down the curtains, "Don’t let people see us."
"Doesn’t matter if they see us. We’re getting married anyway."
"Then where are we going now?"
Ye Rongqing thought for a moment and asked, "Where would you like to go?"
"I’ll listen to you." Ms. Fan taught Mu Shuang to obey her husband when married, and her son when widowed.
Now that the two are about to get married, she naturally feels she should listen to Ye Rongqing in everything.
Ye Rongqing didn’t find her boring, but felt the burden on his shoulders suddenly heavier. His mother once said that in a small family, it’s best for the man and woman to have complementary personalities and abilities, so it can be harmonious. Since Shuangshuang is gentle, he needs to be more assertive. Shuangshuang is the little woman taking care of the home, while he must support their world outside, becoming a strong man.
Mu Shuang didn’t notice, somehow from this moment, Ye Rongqing began to change a little.
"Then I’ll take you horse riding. Would you like to go?"
"But I don’t know how to ride!"
Ye Rongqing chuckled, "You don’t need to know how. I’ll take you."
"Alright then!" They exchanged smiles, and Mu Shuang lowered her head shyly.
Her rosy little face and bright, water-like eyes made Ye Rongqing’s heart race uncontrollably.
This horseback riding place is run by the imperial family; Ye Rongqing often comes here, and the people inside know him well.
"Young Master Heir, your horse!"
The attendant inside brought out the horse he usually rides.
"Has anyone else ridden these horses recently?"
The attendant quickly replied, "No, no, your horse has been personally cared for by me; how could I let anyone else ride it?"
"Not bad!" Ye Rongqing nodded.
His personal attendant stepped forward and handed that person a pouch, "A reward from the Young Master Heir, thank you for taking care of the horse these days."
"It’s what I should do."
After the attendants left, Ye Rongqing lightly jumped onto the horse and stretched his hand towards the stunned Mu Shuang, "Give me your hand."
