"Unexpectedly, there are actually people who don't miss their parents' house." Hearing Mu Hanzhang's words, Jing Shao only felt warmth in his heart, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to tease him again.
Mu Hanzhang took his hand back and turned his head away to look out the window, ignoring him.
Jing Shao smiled, simply laid down on the wide seat of the carriage, and sighed: "Previously, when I did things, I never thought over them beforehand, so Jun Qing must remind me a lot in the future. Otherwise, I will sooner or later make bad decisions until I truly make a grave mistake."
Mu Hanzhang was silent for a while. When Jing Shao thought he wouldn't speak again, he heard him agree quietly. Thus, Jing Shao squirmed like a big snake and wriggled to his side. He stretched his arms around his narrow waist and stuck his face to it before rubbing back and forth: "Jun Qing, tell me about the situation of Marquis. It would be good if I have a response prepared."
His back stiffened as a result of having a big head rub against him, so Mu Hanzhang could only turn around to tear off the person who was sticking to him. Jing Shao released his hands on his own initiative, and seized the opportunity to rest his head on the other's lap.
"..." Looking down at the guy, who looked as if he belonged there, Mu Hanzhang only felt that there was a deep sense of powerlessness.
There is a large population living in the Marquis' household, and the father of Mu Hanzhang is the current North Marquis. Because the old marchioness is still alive, there was no separation of the household. Several cousins also live in the residence. The inheritors of this house were not much, the North Marchioness had a pair of daughters, and then there was him, the bastard, the rest of the concubines still have no heirs.
"Then your father is quite fleeting with his affections." Jing Shao looked up at him, just to see the beautiful lines of his chin and his delicate Adam's apple that slid down his exquisite throat.
"Maybe..." Towards this topic, Mu Hanzhang did not want to say too much. "Our family situation is complicated. If you are not willing to deal with it, just ignoring it is all right." During these past two days, he has discovered that Jing Shao is not very good with receiving people, especially those influential officials who have tricks and turns. He couldn't help but explain with a few sentences to him.
I am a prince, who can still bully me? Jing Shao wanted to laugh and say that he was overthinking, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, they actually changed. He said, "I understand."

It was not long before they arrived at the residence of the North Marquis. The two men straightened out their clothes and walked out together. Mu Hanzhang opened his hand that was being grasped by Jing Shao, but he could not compete with him, and also could not make a big move, so he could only let him have his way.
"I, Mu Jin, bring the people of the North Marquis' residence to welcome Wang Ye and Wang Fei!" The North Marquis Mu Jin stood in the front while leading everyone as they knelt down to kowtow in salute.
Originally, during the first return of the bride to her home, the new son-in-law should first greet his new father and mother in laws; but, if the person is from the imperial household, the wife's parent's people conversely had to greet the new son-in-law.
Mu Hanzhang looked at all his elder cousins kneeling before him. He couldn't say what kind of feeling his heart felt. Fortunately, Jing Shao was always holding his hand as if telling him, "Don't be afraid, I will support you." Before, he used to only think about passing the civil exam to gain scholarly honor, so that these people could look at him with value. Now, it seems that this goal has been achieved in a strange way. At the very least, no one in North Marquis' residence now dares to bully him.
