Chapter 839 Chu Yan is arrested!
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him, "You want me to wait until after I give birth? Does that mean I have to enjoy myself for a few more months?"
Seeing that she was anxious, Duanmu Chuze knew that he couldn't argue with her when it came to family matters, so he quickly coaxed her, "The problem is that we still can't be sure whether it was Consort Luo who made the move, right? You were just guessing before. How about this, I'll talk to Brother Ming later. If we can get his help in the manor, things will be much easier."
Mu Xin Nuan shook her head, disagreeing, "Haven't you considered what would happen if Prince Ming and Consort Luo also had deep feelings for each other? After all, they've been married for over ten years. How can you just be so heartless?"
This is true!
Duanmu Chuze thought for a moment with a headache, "Forget it, let's just have someone keep an eye on things for now. Don't be too anxious. I'm here for you. If anything happens, I'll have someone do it according to your instructions. You mustn't rush things."
Mu Xin Nuan followed his gaze and looked over. She was already more than four months pregnant, and her belly was slightly protruding. This pregnancy reaction was very different from before. Perhaps, it would be a girl.
"Anuan, what you need to do now is to calm down and give birth to our daughter properly. That's the most important thing."
How did you know it was a girl?
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him. She had been a little worried that he would want a son, but unexpectedly, he also wanted a daughter.
"Of course I know! Isn't it said that pregnancy symptoms are different for boys and girls? Your situation this time is different from before, so it should be a girl. Besides, we already have Zonghua. If we have a daughter, she'll be a sweet little angel for us. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"You know, who can say for sure about these things? I'd rather it be a boy."
"You don't like daughters?"
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him again. "How could that be? I just feel that we only have one son, Zong Hua, right now, and he's a bit lonely. If we could give him a younger brother, wouldn't it be better if we could discuss things together in the future?"
Duanmu Chuze chuckled, “Throughout history, from the emperor down to the common people, everyone has hoped for a large and prosperous royal family. It’s a kind of hope. But I think that if a son is good and capable, one is enough. Daughters, on the other hand, are more thoughtful, like you. How wonderful.”
"If your father and mother heard you say that, they would definitely scold you."
After the two joked around for a while, Duanmu Chuze accompanied her outside for a walk to get some fresh air.
After more than ten days of surveillance, the people sent out by the Xie family and Duanmu Chuze finally obtained a clue.
Consort Luo remained silent, while Chu Yan was overjoyed when she learned she had a chance to leave the manor. She was extremely excited, remembering the promise her aunt had made to her.
Once outside the mansion, he deliberately wandered around several streets in the capital before finally arriving at the Mu residence.
It's a pity, though. The gatekeeper of the Mu family would never allow such a promiscuous woman to enter the house, much less let her cause any trouble for the young master of the mansion, so he turned her away.
Chu Yan was furious and really wanted to leave, but then she thought of the promises she had received and realized that if she went back, she would have to face that big idiot again.
With a determined effort, he arrived at the back gate of the Mu residence.
As soon as he reached the back gate, he was knocked unconscious with a stick, then stuffed into a sack and thrown onto the city wall, heading straight out of the city.
The Xie family followed them all the way, and saw that they left the city and finally settled in a very ordinary farmhouse.
Chu Yan was woken up by someone splashing a bucket of cold water on her.
Who are you? What do you want?
Chu Yan was completely stunned. She was only ordered to deliver a message to the Mu family, but who knew she would encounter a kidnapping?
“I have no money on me. I am just a pitiful person. If you want money, you have come to the wrong person.”
"There's no mistake, you're the one we've been looking for."
Chu Yan heard a somewhat aged voice and immediately realized that it was the voice of an old woman.
"You? What do you want?"
Chu Yan instinctively shrank back. The place looked very unfamiliar, and it was dark everywhere. There was only a dim kerosene lamp lit in the room, so she couldn't see clearly what kind of person was sitting opposite her.
"Tell me, what exactly did you hear from Young Master Xie?"
Chu Yan immediately shuddered, then stared wide-eyed at the person in front of her in great fear, her face turning deathly pale.
Whether it was from being frightened or from being doused with that bucket of water, she kept shivering.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Chu Yan's eyes began to dart away. She really didn't know the inside story; she had only gotten the future she wanted from that aunt, so she was just saying what she was told.
"You don't know? Should I have someone remind you?"
Someone brought over a candle, and then she could clearly see the various instruments of torture in the room. Instantly, Chu Yan was so frightened that she didn't even have the strength to sit up.
"What...what do you want to do? I really don't know anything!"
The old woman wouldn't listen. "If you won't talk, then you'll experience the power of this clamp!"
"No, no!" Chu Yan cried out in panic, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted.
"It's really useless!"
Two old women came out of the house, and one of them carefully locked the door. "Don't worry, she can't escape from here. This house doesn't even have a window. Besides, my son is here guarding it, she can't run away."
After the old woman finished speaking, she called out, "Dog, come and guard the door. Don't leave, and don't go in."
"Yes, mother."
A tall, burly man stood at the door, looking just like a plague god.
The other woman was dressed more decently and was noticeably older.
“It’s not that I’m worried, it’s just that, as you know, we’ve received the master’s favor for many years, and we can’t fail at everything. If we really can’t get any information out of her, we can just deal with her directly. As for the Xie family, it’s just the loss of a maidservant, what’s the big deal?”
"Yes, elder sister. Come, have some tea and rest for a while. I think this girl is stubborn, and although she has a bit of a temper, she is quite pretty."
The old nanny glared at her. "Stop thinking such things. You need to understand that this concerns the master's important matters."
"Yes, yes, yes." The peasant woman nodded obsequiously, not daring to say anything more.
