Chapter 755: Chapter 529: Comfort

"I haven’t been back in so long, I almost forgot what this place looks like."

As soon as Xiaomi got off the carriage, she stretched lazily and, hearing her father’s instructions, went straight to Mu Qiurong and took her hand.

"Sister-in-law, don’t be nervous, I’ll take you to your room first."

It’s impossible not to be nervous; Mu Qiurong was so tense she was already walking awkwardly, her entire body rigid.

"Okay, okay, sister, I understand."

She agreed readily, yet her neck remained stiff, as if she couldn’t turn her head.

A half year ago, after Jiang Wei and she confirmed their feelings, Jiang Wei told her about his future father-in-law being a noble.

Then he went back for two days, and on the third day, his future parents came personally to propose, giving the Mu family a lot of face.

Not just in their village but within a ten-mile radius, everyone was both envious and impressed.

But that wasn’t important; what was important was that Mu Qiurong was deeply shocked, almost telling Jiang Wei to forget it.

If it weren’t for Jiang Wei being so quick, he would have explained his identity, then turned around to ask his parents to propose.

Mu Qiurong knew she was just a common girl, unable to recognize many characters, how could she be worthy of a princely heir?

Even though Jiang Wei said his family held no real power, and even the noble title was just nominal, it was still a noble title, a princely heir, of course she was nervous.

Her back was patted gently, followed closely by Xiaomi’s voice: "All right, all right, you’re about to become family, can’t be this way for the rest of your life, right?"

Perhaps it was because Xiaomi and Jiang Wei were twins, among the whole family, apart from Jiang Wei, whenever Mu Qiurong was with Xiaomi, she felt slightly less anxious.

Now, being patted on the back by Xiaomi and hearing her reassurance, Mu Qiurong instantly relaxed a lot.

"Don’t worry, sister Xiaomi, I’ll get used to it."

Xiaomi took her along with their parents: "At home, feel just like in your own home. Wasn’t the journey quite good already? So why get nervous now upon arrival."

Mu Qiurong smiled awkwardly: "It feels different."

As for exactly what felt different, she didn’t say.

Xiaomi sort of understood.

Although she knew before, back when they were in Quanzhou County, they were always low-key, living in a regular house, with few outsiders coming and going, the atmosphere was naturally different.

Now they were in the Capital City, a place that makes many outsiders apprehensive.

Her parents felt the same way when they first arrived.

Moreover, regardless of whether her father had any real power, the increased grain production, these years the people became increasingly affluent, that was a fact.

As for the noble residence, it’s indeed grand, there were over a hundred servants waiting outside when they got off the carriage.

This arrangement, this style, indeed was not something they could have compared to back in Quanzhou County.

No wonder her sister-in-law, who had finally gotten used to things, would suddenly get nervous again.

"Don’t worry, everything will be okay, take a day to rest, and tomorrow let Xiaowei take you around the city."

"Don’t stress about the wedding, leave it to us, and by the way, if you encounter anyone tactless, just ignore them. You know, some people who can’t have the grapes just call them sour."

Xiaomi nagged, here a sentence and there another, seemingly chaotic, but it quickly calmed Mu Qiurong down.

"Okay, I’ll listen to sister Xiaomi."

"That’s right, come on, this is your room."
