Chapter 484 Extra: Mu Jiangge’s Husband (8)
Madam Mu was also confused. What did she mean by "how did you put on your clothes, kid?"
Could it be that my daughter has seen Master Xie without clothes?
What nonsense is this drunk girl talking about?
While holding her daughter's hand, she apologized to Xie Jingchuan.
"Jiang Ge is drunk. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Master Xie."
Mrs. Mu blamed herself endlessly, saying that it was all her and Jiang Ge's father's fault for not taking good care of her and not caring enough about her, which caused her to talk nonsense like a tomboy all day long and without any rules.
Xie Jingchuan looked embarrassed. When he thought about what had just happened between him and Mu Jiangge in the restaurant, his cheeks turned red and he was too guilty to dare to look into Mrs. Mu's eyes.
Seeing that Mu Jiangge was holding onto Xie Jingchuan's clothes and refused to let go, Mrs. Mu twisted the back of her hand, and Mu Jiangge instantly became a little more sober due to the pain.
"You dare to twist me? You dare..."
Madam Mu knocked her embarrassing daughter unconscious with a single blow of her hand and looked at the old butler.
"Butler, please see the guest off."
"Junior takes his leave." Xie Jingchuan's whole body tensed up. Mu Jiangge was indeed Madam Mu's biological son. Both of them had the same simple and rough style of doing things.
He glanced at Mu Jiangge worriedly, wondering if she would remember what happened today when she woke up tomorrow.
......
The sunlight came into the room, and Mu Jiangge woke up, hugging the quilt, opened his eyes and pounded his dizzy head.
She remembered that she went drinking with Xie Jingchuan and His Royal Highness Prince Jin last night.
Fragments of memories came back to her, and she seemed to have sat on Xie Jingchuan's legs and kissed him forcefully.
Mu Jiangge covered his face, "My lifelong reputation!"
Then, she remembered that she was lying on Xie Jingchuan's legs and seemed to have grabbed something she shouldn't have grabbed.
Mu Jiangge clapped his hands vigorously, "I'll let you embarrass me. How can you scratch in a place like that?"
However, Xie Jingchuan seems to be quite outstanding, so let's just arrest him.
Anyway, he was drunk and probably didn't remember what happened last night.
Then she would just pretend that what happened last night never happened. She enjoyed it anyway, so it wasn't a loss.
Mu Jiangge made a self-strategy and went out in a good mood.
Just as he walked a short distance with Dahei, he saw Xie Jingchuan.
Today he was dressed in white clothes that were whiter than snow. He had a sturdy figure but did not look like a reckless man. His temperament looked quite handsome.
She suddenly thought of the feeling she had yesterday, which was quite good.
Xie Jingchuan met Mu Jiangge's gaze and recalled the scenes of last night, which instantly made his heart beat faster.
Mu Jiangge pretended to be confused, "I didn't make any jokes when I was drunk yesterday, did I?"
"Jiang Ge, I want to talk to you." Xie Jingchuan said with a serious expression.
"What to talk about? What can we talk about? About my uncle?"
"Jiang Ge, there are some things that must be made clear today."
"But I'm in a hurry to walk the dog." For some reason, Mu Jiangge didn't want to talk about matters between men and women with Xie Jingchuan.
She doesn't want to get married.
Xie Jingchuan pointed at Dahei who was happily playing with another black female not far away.
"No need to walk the dogs, they can just play by themselves..."
Xie Jingchuan's voice stopped abruptly, and he quickly blocked Mu Jiangge's sight with his body.
Mu Jiangge pushed Xie Jingchuan aside and looked over with curiosity, his eyes instantly brightened.
Oh my, Dahei has grown up and started doing shameful things in broad daylight.
Xie Jingchuan covered Mu Jiangge's eyes and said, "Don't look."
"What's the big deal? Even Dahei isn't shy." Mu Jiangge pulled him.
As the two pushed each other, Mu Jiangge knocked Xie Jingchuan down. Her hands had their own ideas and pressed between Xie Jingchuan's legs again.
This time, Mu Jiangge touched it for real. She stood up from the ground with a look of horror on her face.
What's going on? Why do you always go after Xie Jingchuan's lower body?
Xie Jingchuan breathed rapidly, stood up, took Mu Jiangge's hand and led her into the carriage.
Mu Jiangge raised his hands to prove his innocence, "I really didn't mean it!"
Xie Jingchuan pulled her wrist closer.
"Ms. Mu, I think you did it on purpose. From last night till now, it has been intentional." He went home and took a cold shower last night to stop himself from thinking about that incident.
Mu Jiangge just caught him again.
"I didn't..." Mu Jiangge met Xie Jingchuan's burning gaze.
Xie Jingchuan's magnetic voice came, "I don't know where the love came from, but I'm so devoted to you. Jiang Ge, I only love you in this life. Are you willing to marry me?"
Mu Jiangge was almost bewitched by his burning eyes, but when she heard about the marriage, she suddenly came to her senses.
She pushed Xie Jingchuan away and said, "No, I won't marry anyone!"
"Why?" Xie Jingchuan was puzzled.
"I don't want to stay in the harem for my whole life. I want to become the most powerful female general in the Great Chu. Can you accept that I won't have children for the rest of my life? Can Marquis Jingyang agree?"
Xie Jingchuan was stunned. Mu Jiangge didn't want to get married and have children.
She has her own ambitions.
Just when Xie Jingchuan hesitated, Mu Jiangge had already got off the carriage.
Xie Jingchuan clenched his fists and made a decision.
......
Royal study room.
Chu Li and Lao Liu are discussing the construction of a food street.
Ma Yunqing supported his son Ma Yushu to file a complaint.
"Your Majesty, Madam Mu came to my house yesterday and beat my son without any reason. My son was kicked in the vitals by General Mu. It will be difficult for him to have children in the future!"
Lao Liu glanced at Ma Yunqing and said, "Master Ma, you don't know what's going on, but my third brother, Prince Qi, who suffers from kidney deficiency, got into trouble this morning."
"Your Highness Prince Jin, what does this have to do with my son?" Ma Yunqing was puzzled.
Lao Liu chuckled, "Guess what, the Prince of Qi saw a beautiful woman yesterday and dragged her to an alley to do something indecent, but was caught by her husband's family. The Prince of Qi was afraid of being punished by His Majesty, so he didn't dare to admit that he was the Prince of Qi, and was beaten half to death in the end."
Ma Yushu looked at Lao Liu with a pale face, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Lao Liu leaned over and looked at Ma Yushu who was kneeling on the ground. "Of course there is a connection. Master Ma may not know this yet. His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi died naked on the street. After the autopsy, the coroner found him... Tsk tsk tsk tsk..."
Ma Yushu felt goosebumps all over his body after hearing this. What on earth had happened to the King of Qi?
What does it have to do with him?
Lao Liu raised his voice, "Guess what? His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi died of syphilis!"
Ma Yushu's face turned pale immediately, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He asked in horror, "Impossible... Your Highness Prince Jin, are you joking?"
He and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi played together many times. Would that damn Prince of Qi have passed on syphilis to him?
Lao Liu looked serious, "Why are you so scared? His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi didn't pass on syphilis to you."
Ma Yunqing sighed and quickly explained to Chu Li, "Your Majesty, my son has absolutely never been in league with the King of Qi!"
Chu Li looked at Ma Yushu, who was lying on the ground. She said lightly, "Oh, really?"
Ma Yunqing looked at his son, who was in a trance and full of pain, and asked in a low voice: "You, you, you went to the brothel with the King of Qi?"
The imperial physician came over and examined Ma Yushu, then immediately moved away from him.
Then he looked at Chu Li respectfully and reported, "Your Majesty, Ma Yushu is indeed suffering from syphilis."
Ma Yushu was so frightened that he nearly fainted, and Ma Yunqing sat down on the ground. Ma Yushu was his only son!
If he died of syphilis, there would be no descendants for the Ma family.
Chu Li's eyes were cold and stern. "Ma Yunqing is a bad parent. He is demoted to the position of Minister of Rites and fined for half a year to see how he behaves."
"I know I was wrong." Ma Yunqing knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Chu Li.
Chu Li glanced at Ma Yushu with disdain and said, "Come here, carry Ma Yushu out to prevent him from infecting others. Confiscate the tools used in the crime and burn moxa leaves throughout the palace for disinfection."
Lao Liu urged with disgust, "Yes, yes, take this disgusting thing out!"
"Ah..." Ma Yushu was dragged out crying. His Majesty wanted to castrate him!
Ma Yunqing burst into tears. It was all his fault that he did not discipline Ma Yushu enough, which led to Ma Yushu making a big mistake.
After the two left, Lao Liu spat outside, "Bah, dirty stuff!"
Chu Li's eyes were deep. Ma Yunqing had held an important position in the Ministry of Rites for many years, with a complex network of connections and a solid foundation. It was a good opportunity to replace him with a newcomer.
Lao Liu sighed: "Although Ma Yushu is disgusting, he has helped warm up the relationship between Xie Jingchuan and Mu Jiangge."
He excitedly told Chu Li about Xie Jingchuan and Mu Jiangge's passionate kiss after drinking.
Chu Li's eyes lit up when he heard the gossip. It seemed that the two of them were about to get married.
