After sending Yuan Yuhan back, Jing Xunchao refused to let go of Mu Fengqie in the carriage.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Fengqie was a bit puzzled. He was fine just now. Why did he act like this as soon as Yuan Yuhan left?
"When will you be truly with me, Qie'er?" He also wanted a child. Now, whenever he saw Yuan Yuhan, he couldn't help feeling jealous.
"Aren't we together right now?" Mu Fengqie didn't understand what Jing Xunchao meant.
"I don't mean this. I mean..." Jing Xunchao stopped halfway through his words. He didn't know how to continue.
Mu Fengqie watched him stop talking abruptly and turned to look at Jing Xunchao. She saw that his ears were extremely red.
"What's wrong with you?" Mu Fengqie was quite surprised. He didn't drink much at the banquet, and he had just suffered a poison attack a couple of days ago. After ruling out this possibility, Mu Fengqie couldn't think of any other reason.
Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie and didn't know how to speak. He was afraid that she would be angry if he said it. Thinking of this, Jing Xunchao let out a sigh.
"Qie'er."
"Hmm?"
"Qie'er, when can we get married? This time, I want to marry you in a grand way, so that everyone in the world will know that you are my wife, and no one else can covet you." Watching all kinds of people appear around Qie'er, he was insanely jealous.
Although he knew that Qie'er didn't like those people, he couldn't stop those people from having feelings for her.
"We're still in the dating stage. We can use this stage to get to know each other better and build trust." Looking back on what they had experienced before, it was still because they didn't trust each other enough.
"Alright." This damned dating stage!
The next day, Yuan Yuhan sent a message saying that Mu Xingrou had been conferred the title of a concubine. Mu Fengqie wasn't surprised when she heard this news because she knew that Mu Xingrou would definitely find a way to turn this matter around.
"What are you going to do next, Qie'er?" Jing Xunchao looked at Mu Fengqie, knowing that she must have a plan.
"This is the handwriting of Mu Xingrou imitated by someone I found. Let the Kong family bring Mu Rendong to the capital." The combat power of these two people is enough for Mu Xingrou.
"What if they come to cause you trouble?" Jing Xunchao was still a bit worried. After all, he had witnessed the unreasonable behavior of the Kong family before.
"Don't worry. I won't let them make a scene. After all, what's the use of a princess with an empty title compared to a noble concubine enjoying the good life in the palace? She must be much richer."
Jing Xunchao understood Mu Fengqie's intention and sent someone to deliver the letter to the Kong family.
After receiving the letter, the Kong family couldn't read it because she was illiterate. The messenger kindly read it to her.
"Mother, I'm Xingrou. I've met a noble person in the capital. Now I'm living a prosperous life. Please don't worry about me, mother and younger brother. Mu Xingrou." After the messenger finished reading, his face was full of envy.
"Auntie, your daughter is really amazing. She can meet a noble person in the capital. You'll be waiting to enjoy a good life from now on. There are all rich people in the capital." After saying this, the messenger left with envy on his face.
However, not long after he left, the messenger put away his expression and left with lightness skills expressionlessly. This person was one of Jing Xunchao's men from the Dark Pavilion.
After hearing what the messenger said, the Kong family took the letter and went to find Mu Rendong. After some discussion, they decided to go to the capital to find Mu Xingrou.
"Mother, elder sister is so unfilial. She's feasting on delicacies and wearing gold and silver in the capital while leaving us to suffer in this shabby little mountain village." When saying this, there was greed in Mu Rendong's eyes. The capital! He never thought that Mu Xingrou would have such an ability.
"Humph! We won't come back after we go to the capital this time. We'll ask her to buy us a house there."
"Mother, we should also find some servants to serve us like those wealthy families. We should also enjoy the life of the rich." As he said this, he burst out laughing, as if he had already seen the rich life beckoning to them.
The two fantasized about their wonderful future, but they never thought about whether the content of the letter was true, nor did they ever wonder how an illiterate person like Mu Xingrou could write them a letter.
Since they believed that Mu Xingrou was living a good life in the capital, as soon as they arrived in the town, they hired a carriage to go to the capital. As long as they had money, everything would be easy.
The two spent money recklessly on the way and used up all the silver they had brought. Fortunately, they just managed to reach the capital.
"Gentlemen, the capital is just ahead. Could one of you please settle the bill with me?" During the journey, the coachman had seen that they spent money without any hesitation, so he thought they were from a wealthy family.
Although they were not well - dressed now, maybe there was someone in their family who worked in the capital and had a good income.
"Okay, I'll pay you. How much is it?" Without thinking, the Kong family reached for her wallet. But when she touched it, she froze. She felt it a few more times unbelievably, and finally opened it to find it empty!
This... Had they spent so much money on this journey? There wasn't even a single piece of silver left. How could they pay the coachman?
"I'm asking if you have the money or not!" After the coachman named a price, he saw that the Kong family just stood there without moving. He began to suspect that they were trying to cheat him.
"Could you hurry up? I'm in a hurry to go back!" The coachman was a bit angry when he saw that they couldn't produce the money.
"This... We don't have any money now. Could you take us to the capital to find our daughter? Our daughter has met a noble person in the capital. She's very rich now and will definitely not owe you the money." The Kong family had no other choice but to go into the city to find Mu Xingrou first.
"Is what you said true?" The coachman was a bit skeptical, but he didn't want to offend them now. What if they were telling the truth? Wouldn't he have offended a noble person?
"It's true. If you go to the capital with us, all the expenses will be on us. As soon as we find my daughter, we'll pay you immediately. We won't short you a single cent." The Kong family said confidently.
The coachman thought about it and agreed. Anyway, he didn't have to pay for anything in the capital. What did he have to worry about?
Just like this, the three of them in a carriage entered the capital, while Mu Xingrou in the palace had no idea about this.
She was now kneeling in Concubine Hua's chamber.
"Mu Xingrou, you owe your current situation entirely to this palace. So you should be clear about your position." Concubine Hua looked at Mu Xingrou kneeling on the ground with disdain in her eyes.
