SFS Chapter 298 is a joke!
Chapter 298 is a joke!
About three days later, Wang Ziyu and his mother, the Duchess of Yingguo, visited again.
This time, the gifts they brought were even more generous than the previous ones, and they even included a pair of rather rare luminous pearls.
"Madam Wang, what is this?" Madam Li was momentarily at a loss. Why did she send so many gifts?
“Madam Mu, you’re too kind. These are all for the eldest daughter of your household. We are so grateful to her this time! Ziyu has improved a lot since taking the medicine she gave him. Look, isn’t his complexion much better than when he came last time?”
Li looked closely at Wang Ziyu and found that his complexion had indeed improved a lot. In fact, his complexion was no longer pale, but had a radiant glow, as if it were a vitality emanating from within.
"Has the Crown Prince's health truly improved?"
Wang Ziyu bowed deeply, "I must thank the young lady of the manor. My illness has improved a lot since then, and I came here today specifically to express my gratitude to Miss Mu."
Madam Li smiled and served tea to both of them, then sent someone to Yuexuan to invite the eldest young lady over.
Mu Xin Nuan was overjoyed to learn that the medicine she had prepared earlier had worked. "It seems I really guessed right. Now I know how to prepare the medicine for the rest."
"Miss, you'd better change your clothes quickly. They smell like medicine. How can you go to the front hall to meet guests?" Rongyue urged anxiously.
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, went back to her room to wash her hands, and changed her clothes again. Mu Qing and Rong Yue followed her to the front hall.
After Mu Hua and Granny Yu tidied up the things together, they closed the door to the side room. One of them went to the bedroom to tidy up, while the other went to the small kitchen.
Once the courtyard quieted down, a little girl dressed in green was seen quickly slipping into the side room where Mu Xin Nuan had previously refined medicine. After a short while, she ran out again in a flustered manner.
Mu Xin Nuan took Wang Ziyu's pulse again. Judging from the pulse, there was indeed a slight improvement. However, his illness had lasted for too long, and he had not been well for more than ten years. How could it be cured in a short time?
Moreover, Mu Xin Nuan read in the book that it was almost impossible to cure this wheezing disease completely!
"Your Highness, please forgive my bluntness, but if you want your condition to continue to improve, I'm afraid you'll need to pay more attention to your diet."
"Miss Mu, rest assured, after what happened last time, I have already reorganized the Duke of Ying's mansion, and nothing like this will happen again." As Madam Wang said this, there was still a hint of hatred in her eyes.
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "The Crown Prince's physical condition is quite good. Although he can't practice martial arts, he can still practice riding and archery without any problems. Moreover, if he could practice martial arts for half an hour every day, it might actually be beneficial to his health."
"Really?" A look of ecstatic joy flashed in Wang Ziyu's eyes. "Miss Mu, I really can learn martial arts?"
"The martial arts I'm referring to isn't about cultivating internal energy or necessarily developing powerful punches and kicks. It mainly means practicing basic stances and stances to start by strengthening your body. Also, if you have some free time, you can try meditation to calm your mind and spirit, which will also be good for your health."
"Thank you very much, Miss Mu."
Wang Ziyu chuckled repeatedly, "I never imagined that the illness that has plagued me for so many years would one day improve. Thank you so much, Miss Mu! You are truly my savior!"
As Wang Ziyu spoke, he stood up and bowed again.
How could Mu Xin Nuan dare to accept such a gesture? Naturally, she took a few steps back, turned to the side, and then bowed.
Madam Wang found Mu Xinnuan more and more pleasing to the eye, and then she noticed her son's eyes lighting up when he saw Miss Mu. Her thoughts began to wander.
"Reporting to Madam, His Highness the Great Sage has arrived." The steward rushed in to report, and everyone was taken aback.
Madam Li was also somewhat puzzled, "Now that Master is not at home, why would His Highness the Eldest Grandson come?"
Although there were doubts, they still had to go out to greet His Highness the Crown Prince.
Duanmu Chen came today dressed in casual clothes. Although he lacked the majesty he displayed in court, his innate nobility was still undeniable.
Upon seeing Wang Ziyu, Duanmu Chen smiled and said, "So my little cousin is here too. I heard before that you had used the medicine from the eldest daughter of the Mu family and your health had improved, but I didn't believe it. Now that I see you, I do."
Wang Ziyu gave a wry smile, "This illness has troubled me for more than ten years. Now, it has finally shown some improvement. Thank you, Your Highness."
Duanmu Chen turned to look at Mu Xin Nuan and saw that she was wearing a purple and white ruqun today. She didn't have many hair ornaments, but a few jade ornaments made her look somewhat ethereal. Mu Xin Nuan should look like this on a normal day in the mansion.
Without overly elaborate attire or extravagant embellishments, she exuded an incredibly comfortable aura. It was as if one could never get enough of looking at her.
"I didn't know Your Highness was coming today?" Madam Li asked somewhat anxiously.
"Oh, I apologize for my unauthorized visit today, and I'm sorry to have disturbed you, Madam. It's nothing really. I was just chatting with my grandmother in the palace today, and I happened to learn that my little cousin's illness has improved, and that it was done by a woman. I was a little curious, so I thought I'd come and see for myself."
As Duanmu Chen spoke, he waved his hand, and several eunuchs followed.
"When my grandmother knew I was coming, she asked me to bring these things to the eldest daughter of the Mu family. The Empress's reward was naturally because she saw that my little cousin's health had improved significantly."
Mu Xin Nuan was slightly startled, unsure of what Duanmu Chen was trying to do.
She could tell from the way Duanmu Chen looked at her that it was different from how he looked at others.
However, he is the noble Prince Changsun, who may become the ruler of a country in the future. Such a person should have a high opinion of himself. How could he possibly be interested in someone as insignificant as himself?
Soon, Mu Xinyao was also invited to the front hall. Of course, this was Mu Xinnuan's idea; at least in front of outsiders, they couldn't let people think that her mother truly couldn't tolerate her. Now that distinguished guests had arrived at the mansion, having her dress elegantly and appear in the front hall was also a way of once again shattering the rumors that Madam Yang had spread outside.
Of course, Mu Xin Nuan's true intention was not in this regard.
When Mu Xinyao heard that the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grandson were both there, as well as her own elder sister, she naturally wanted to dress up nicely. With the deliberate misleading from below, she genuinely believed that Mu Xinnuan would be dressed in her finest attire.
Little did she know that when she arrived at the front hall, she realized that although she was dressed in gold and silver and looked glamorous, she was a joke compared to Mu Xin Nuan, who was dressed in a simple and ordinary style!
