Chapter 27 A day apart feels like three autumns!
The final outcome of this matter was that Murong Jing agreed to issue an order that Shen Muyue would not be allowed to enter Huangfeng Garden without a valid reason in the future, while Su Mowan agreed that she would not slap Shen Muyue in the face without a valid reason.
Murong Jing left with a cold face.
In the east courtyard, Shen Muyue was shouting and yelling.
"Gently, gently! Caiwei, you brat, why are you hitting me so hard! Do you want to hurt me to death?"
Upon hearing this, Caiwei, who was applying medicine to her, awkwardly stopped.
"Miss, I'm already quite light. Shall we switch to Caihong?"
While tidying up, Caihong quickly waved her hand upon hearing this: "No, no! Miss, my strength is not as light as Caiwei's!"
"Hmph, what use are you to me!"
Shen Muyue grinned.
"Hiss, Su Mowan, that bitch, no wonder she was raised by a martial arts master, she's so barbaric!"
Caiwei whispered, "Miss, please listen to my advice. Don't provoke Su Mowan in the future. She's skilled in martial arts, and we definitely can't beat her in a fight. Besides, she slaps people all the time, and we can't defend against her!"
Looking at her obviously swollen cheek in the bronze mirror, Shen Muyue said unhappily, "You brat! Did one slap scare you out of your wits?"
After saying that, Shen Muyue gently wiped the medicine off her face and continued smugly, "Just you wait, I'll settle this score with you sooner or later! Tomorrow is the day I return to my parents' home. When Father and my elder brother see my face like this, I guarantee Su Mowan will be in big trouble!"
Caihong, who was packing her belongings for her homecoming, paused and asked cautiously, "But Miss, Su Mowan is also going home tomorrow... Will the Prince go to the General's Mansion with her?"
Shen Muyue's eyebrows immediately furrowed.
"She's dreaming! A mere concubine's daughter dares to ask the prince to go back with her? The prince will naturally go to the Prime Minister's residence with me! Besides, just because of this slap mark on his face, the prince has to come with me!"
Caiwei put away the medicine bottle and massaged Shen Muyue's shoulders: "What Miss said is true, but Su Mowan took the initiative to serve the Prince first, so it's hard to guarantee that the Prince won't..."
The meaning of this is self-evident.
"Yes, Miss, we have to return to our parents' home first thing tomorrow morning. If we don't seize the opportunity tonight..."
Caihong whispered from the side.
Shen Muyue's face darkened, and she slapped Caiwei's hand away in annoyance.
"What's the use of being anxious if the prince doesn't summon me! I can't just bite the bullet and run to Fenghua Palace, can I?"
"How about I have Yulan go to Fenghua Palace and ask two old women to sound out their opinions?" Caiwei suggested hesitantly.
Shen Muyue's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled strangely: "No, I'll go myself after dinner!"
However, Shen Muyue did not expect that before it was time for dinner, Zhao Mama came to Xiwu Garden in person, saying that the prince would go to the prime minister's residence with her early the next morning, and that she should rest early tonight.
Shen Muyue couldn't hide her smile, and she didn't even care about what Granny Wei said about the prince forbidding her from easily stepping into Huangfeng Garden again.
"Did Your Highness really say that? Are you really going to come to the Prime Minister's residence with me?"
With a proper smile on her face, Zhao Mama replied, "Reporting to Consort Shen, that is indeed what the Prince said to this old servant."
After receiving confirmation, Shen Muyue instructed Caiwei to reward Granny Zhao with a few taels of silver, which Granny Zhao accepted this time.
"Caihong, quickly tell the kitchen to make a batch of lotus seed cake. I need to take it to Fenghua Palace later!" Shen Muyue instructed while drawing her eyebrows in front of the mirror.
Caihong responded and went to the kitchen.
The Huangfeng Garden was quiet. Su Mowan was still leisurely lying on the low couch, seemingly having forgotten about the homecoming ceremony, until Granny Wei came to invite her.
"The prince wants to see me?"
Su Mowan opened one eye and glanced sideways at Granny Wei.
Granny Wei had a big smile on her face.
"Yes, Consort Su, please get up and come with this old servant. The Prince is still waiting!"
"No way! We just saw him two hours ago! What trouble could he possibly be causing now that it's only been a short while!"
After Su Mowan finished speaking, she closed her eyes.
Granny Wei smiled subtly: "Oh dear, Consort Su, haven't you heard the saying? 'A day apart feels like three autumns!'"
"..."
Su Mowan steadied herself to avoid falling off the low couch!
