Chapter 56: The Whole Su Family Moving to Capital City

Chapter 56 The Whole Su Family Moving to Capital City

Su Muge frowned while covering her sore nose, in fear of becoming flat-nosed.

“You…”

Rubbing the tip of her nose, Su Muge looked up. Having seen the man in front of her, she subconsciously took several steps back!

“Xia … Lord Xia!”

She was too unlucky. How could she bump into Xia Houmo here? !

Xia Houmo was wearing a dark red checkered robe with narrowed-sleeves; his waist was tightened by a black jade belt. Even though Su Muge had met him many times before, she still felt uneasy every time she encountered him.

The man’s aura was too powerful, always giving her an invisible sense of oppression.

Xia Houmo looked down and caught sight of her big panic eyes. With the moonlight shining lightly on her little faces, her eyes looked extraordinarily clear and bright.

But the dangling black hair had obscured much of her glory.

“How do you know me?”

Su Muge was shocked. How could this man be so vigilant?

“I just saw you across the screen.” Su Muge appeared to be so frightened that her body trembled, her voice lowered down, and her head almost shrank into her chest.

Now she only hoped Xia Houmo could leave as soon as possible!

“Raise your head,” Xia Houmo said lightly in a low voice.

“Lo, Lord, it, it’s not, I don’t believe it’s appropriate … after all, I am, am …”

“Meng Xiuwen can see your face, but I can’t?” The sound became a little cold.

Su Muge’s heart sank. Did he just see her with Meng Xiuwen?

Thinking so, Su Muge felt it needless to pretend as timid.

She slowly raised her head, looking up at Xia Houmo’s … chest.

“What can I help you, My Lord?”

Xia Houmo slightly raised his eyebrows. Having seen Su Muge’s changes, his lips raised.

Such an impatient kitten.

“I’m lost. Show me the way.”

Lost?!

Xia Houmo said he was lost? !

It might be the biggest joke she had ever heard.

“Lord Xia, please wait for a while. I’ll go and find a maid to show you the way.”

“No need. Let’s go.”

Su Muge was stunned; she really hated the non-negotiable commanding tone!

“Yes.”

Su Muge deliberately took a detour around Su Mansion. She nearly led him to every road in the mansion.

Anyway, having been too full tonight, she just needed a walk to help digest. Seeing Xia Houmo’s undoubted look, she had nothing to fear!

It wasn’t until Su Muge hiccupped several times and felt her gastric distention became much better that she led Xia Houmo to the gate of the Welcoming Hall. “Lord Xia, here we are.”

Having been quietly following Su Muge, Xia Houmo had seen through her trick, but he was not upset at all.

“I feel a little unwell, please excuse me.” Su Muge turned around and slipped away.

Xia Houmo looked at her receding figure with a hint of interest.

When Su Muge returned to Peachblossom Courtyard, Zhao had already been here.

“Miss, Madam was afraid of you being hungry, and asked sister Meihua to bring some snacks back.”

After drinking the digestion tea, Su Muge felt her stomach much more comfortable.

“Come on and enjoy the snacks. I can’t eat anymore tonight.”

Hearing this, the maids in the room were delighted. They all expressed their thanks and began to enjoy the snacks.

“Second Prince looks so handsome; he is even better-looking than the eldest Master Meng.” Xinlan, an innocent girl, talked without thinking twice.

“Nonsense. How dare you comment on the Second Prince?” Yueru knocked on her head, then Xinlan shrank her neck and stuck out her tongue.

“In contrast… Lord Xia looks so scary. I glanced at him from a distance and felt my hairs all standing up.” Xinche became bolder, seeing that Su Muge had no intention to scold them.

As maids of Su Mansion, they had not as many taboos as the Misses. So it was not strange for them to react to people like Xia Houkun.

“Well, I even dared not look at him.”

Su Muge sneered in her heart; Xia Houmo had spent his days killing on the battlefield. It would be strange that he looked not scary.

“Okay, it’s getting late. Go to get ready for Miss to take a bath.” Yueru stopped their gossip in time.

“Yes.”

In the cleaning room, Su Muge sank her body into the hot water.

No matter in her past life or this life, she liked to take a bath. A proper bath could activate the muscles and bones and help the body grow. For adults, taking a bath could soothe the body and mind; thus, sweet dreams would be brought at night.

Having put everything down, Yueru quietly retreated.

She knew well that Su Muge didn’t like to be served while bathing.

Su Muge placed her hands on the bucket edge; the hot water made her cheeks slightly rubicund and her eyes hazy.

“He didn’t recognize me, did he?” She recalled Xia Houmo’s every move and found nothing wrong, and then a slight smile appeared on her face.

…

Zhou County had been hit by a flood, which burst the dam and drowned many people. Su Lun, Chief of Shunyang prefecture, shouldn’t have escaped the culpability.

However, after the flood happened, Su Lun actively went to Zhou County for disaster relief and stayed there, risking his life. Moreover, he joined efforts with the Second Prince to suppress the post-disaster plague and avoided the spread of the plague.

After learning this, the Emperor in the faraway capital was greatly pleased. It happened that Su Lun’s tenure was due, so the Emperor asked Su Lun to go to capital city with Xia Houkun.

After the announcement of the imperial edict, Su Muge had not much excitement in her heart. Those things were done initially by her in the name of Su Lun.

But she wondered if Xia Houmo’s credit was deliberately given to Xia Houkun, or he didn’t bother to compete with him. The imperial edict contained nothing about “Lord Xia”. Anyway, all of this had nothing to do with her.

“Lord Su, congratulations.” After the announcement, Xia Houkun looked at Su Lun smilingly.

Su Lun also couldn’t hide his joy; he was supposed to be a sinner, but now he was innocent and rewarded. How could he not be delighted!

“Thanks to Second Prince, if it were not for you, how could the disaster be relieved so quickly in Zhou County?”

Xia Houkun made no comment on Su Lun’s words.

“Lord Su, make some preparations these days and be ready to go to the capital with me.”

“Yes, yes.”

“My Lord, it’s so great. I’ll write to my father immediately. He must be very happy.” An looked at Su Lun with excitement. Although this imperial edict hadn’t made it clear, it was obvious that Su Lun must be promoted when he entered capital city this time, and that he would be appointed with a position in capital city!

Su Lun was very happy, but on hearing An’s mention of his father-in-law, he lowered his eyes slightly and said calmly, “Okay, time is limited. Hurry to make everything prepared. We’re leaving for the capital in a few days.”

“Yes, yes, I’ll make preparations right away.”

After An left, Su Lun put on a somber look instantly.

“My father-in-law, you must haven’t expected it …”

In Peachblossom Courtyard.

With rare and unconcealable joy, Zhao made the maids pack up smilingly.

In fact, as Su Muge said, they actually had nothing to pack; the only valuable things were the banknote of 500 Liang she carried and the clothes and jewelry sent by Su Lun.

However, it was rare to see Zhao being so happy, so she didn’t want to spoil her good mood.

Going to the capital this time, the Su family would have to live there for a long time, so all the necessary things should be brought with them.

Su Muge held little Wenmo, who was over two months old, from the nanny. The little guy became more and more adorable and cute as he grew. But his tiny and warm body still made her very meticulous in fear of hurting him.

“Brother, see how happy mommy is. Let’s make her always so happy in the future, okay?”

Little Wenmo seemed to have understood Su Muge’s words, watching her with his big eyes rolling quickly.

“Good boy.” Su Muge kissed his face and took him into the room for sleep.

Three days later, the Su family started their journey to the capital.

Su Lun married An more than ten years ago; after that, Minister An gave them a mansion in the capital. Although it was not as big as Su Mansion in Shunyang prefecture, in the city where the land would cost a fortune, it was pretty good for a low-ranking official sent outside the capital.

After a long and tiring journey, they finally reached the outside of the capital.

Su Muge lifted the curtain by a corner and saw the towering city gate not far away.

No wonder it was the capital of a country; the momentum was totally different.

“Mumu, put it down right now, or people can see you.”

Zhao knew the capital was far more disciplined than Shunyang prefecture, so she dared not make any mistakes.

Su Muge obediently lowered the curtain down gently.

It wasn’t long before some bustling noise came from outside, indicating that they had already entered the city.

Half an hour passed, the carriage gradually stopped.

“Miss, Madam, we have arrived at the mansion.”

Yueru lifted up the curtain and helped Zhao and Su Muge get off.

Su Muge looked up at the place she was about to live in. The gate was much smaller than the previous one, but the words “Su Mansion” on the gate was shiningly new.

“Put away your stuff. I’m going to meet the Emperor in the Imperial Palace,” Su Lun said while looking towards An.

“My Lord, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of it.”

“Ok.” Su Lun got on the carriage and left.

“Huh, the mansion is so small, and we still have to make room for some menial people. What bad luck!”

Su Muge slightly raised her eyes and met Su Jingwen’s resentful eyes.

“Sister, if you think our mansion is too small, you can go and find a larger one.”

“You!”

“Wen’er, don’t be rude. Why are you still standing right here? Hurry to help Miss get in.” How would An be willing to see Su Muge, her mother and brother in the capital? But in Shunyang prefecture, Su Lun had no intention to leave them there, so she could do nothing but be careful before taking the next step!

The Su Mansion in the capital was not so large. The courtyard assigned to Su Muge and all was much smaller than before but was still called Peachblossom Courtyard. Except for Yueru and Meihua, the rest maids could only share one large bed.

Fortunately, they didn’t have many things with them, so it looked not too crowded.

After just moving in, with many things unsorted, they didn’t know when they could have dinner at night.

It was getting dark, and the Peachblossom Courtyard was lit up with lamps.

“The eldest Miss, My Lord is back and asks you to come to the front yard.”
