"Xiaxia, I know what you’re saying, but I can’t help it. The longer it takes, the more anxious I get."
Dongyang looked a bit dazed, "And what if he never returns? What should Chengcheng and I do? Haven’t you noticed the second branch eyeing us every day like hawks? Lately, they’ve even hinted at wanting to take control of Mu’s Clinic. It’s not enough for them to manage the household; now they want Mu’s Clinic too."
Mu’s Clinic is a property of the Mu Family. Mu Shaoling is the legitimate eldest son of the Mu Family and should naturally inherit Mu’s Clinic. Ever since Mu Shaoling ca of age and with his reputation as a miraculous doctor, Mu’s Clinic has only grown more prosperous. It’s understandable that the second branch wants to seize it.
"Dongyang!" Yang Chuxia urged, "You are a Commandery Princess! This title was bestowed upon you by the Emperor of Great Zhou! You’re the Commandery Princess of the Tayun Tribe. Behind you is not just a noble family or an ordinary household but the multitude of the Tayun Tribe! Your background is more formidable than anyone else’s. Let’s not even talk about what happens to Mu Shaoling now; even if sothing were to happen to him, with just this fact, you could overpower others whether in the Mu Family or externally!"
Yang Chuxia continued, "Even though others might dismiss you as the Commandery Princess from the mountains, thinking little of this title, in crucial matters, this identity is incredibly useful. It’s a shield for you and the child. Besides, Old Master Mu is still there; he will naturally protect you. The inner household doesn’t concern him, and when dealing with the Second Madam, you don’t have to treat her as an elder. Show your deanor as a Commandery Princess, and think of her as a subject, you’re the ruler, understand?"
"Mm..." Dongyang thought for a mont and finally seed more resolute. "Yes, you’re right!"
"A mother becos strong for her child. During the days when Mu Shaoling is absent, you must be even more steadfast."
Though she said this, internally Yang Chuxia was full of complaints against Mu Shaoling.
Does he have to make things so complicated? Would it kill him to give Dongyang a hint? Doesn’t he know that pregnant won are emotionally unstable and fragile?
Is he still testing? Testing what? They’re about to have two children, and those barriers are aningless.
If Mu Shaoling hadn’t insisted repeatedly not to tell Dongyang, she would have blurted it out long ago.
"Xiaxia, luckily you co to see often, otherwise it would be really bad." Dongyang finally smiled.
Yang Chuxia sighed, "All I can do is co and talk with you. As for Mu Shaoling, you really don’t have to worry. Everyone is looking for him. I heard from Prince Zhuang that a long ti ago soone foretold that Mu Shaoling would be extrely wealthy, destined to have nurous descendants."
"Really? Is that true?" Dongyang continued, "Xiaxia, though my temperant has been unstable lately, I wouldn’t do anything foolish. You don’t need to make this up just to comfort ."
"Haha!" Yang Chuxia laughed. "Now you understand, but what were you doing before? Why would I waste ti lying to you? It’s true. I heard that during earlier days, he and Brother An accompanied Prince Zhuang to the imperial temple, and the old monk there prophesied for him. I only learned of this last night when chatting casually with Brother An."
"The imperial temple?" Dongyang found it slightly believable. "I heard the head monks there have so ability."
"Of course, otherwise how could they safeguard the imperial family’s divine spirits? Are you relieved now? The predictions from the monks there won’t be wrong. I heard about this, so I specially ca to tell you today, to ease your mind and focus on your pregnancy. Just wait for him to return, and as for what the second branch wants to do, let them try. In the end, they will have to give back what they took."
