"That important.... Okay. We are going to Paris after the party ends. You fiancée will be with us." Mu Liang replied.
"That's better. I'm not sure when I will get back but I will try to come back as soon as possible." Lu Feng said.
Mu Liang nodded and said, "I will be waiting for now medicine."
After that Lu Feng left.
Mu Liang headed back inside the castle. He went to Mu Lan study room and found her ordering the maids for tomorrow's party. She seemed very busy. So, he sat on the sofa and waited for her to finish the task.
After the maids were gone, Mu Lan sat beside Mu Liang and put her head on his shoulder.
Mu Liang pulled her closer with one hand and asked, "Are you tired?"
Mu Lan replied, "A little bit." She yawned.
Mu Liang covered her eyes and said, "Then take a nap for a little bit. I will wake you up if it's urgent."
"I still have to visit the ballroom." Mu Lan didn't want to take a nap. She had lots of things to do.
Mu Liang rubbed her shoulder and gently suggested, "If you don't want to, you don't have to host the party. Let Feng be the host and let grandfather announce her title. You can stay in the castle or go to somewhere to visit, I will accompany you."
Mu Lan smiled. She noticed that except for her name, Mu Liang never mentioned another woman's name in front of her. It made her feel special.
She said in reply, "I can't do that. If I do that, the guests will think that I'm not worthy enough so I let go of this position. They will mock you in the end. And also, this is my first time organizing a party. I want to see that everyone is praising my capability." She said with pride.
Mu Liang chuckled and said, "I will give you enough praise if you take a nap now." His heart was warm when he understood that Mu Lan was thinking of his reputation and wanted to work hard for his family.
However, in the end, he still loved the woman who was carefree and was free from any rules and regulations. He didn't want her to be caged in the title of the mistress of the house that made her do things which she wasn't willing to do.
Mu Liang also noticed that Mu Lan was doing some things which she didn't want to do but doing for the obligation. Thinking that, it pained his heart.
Thus, even though she was doing a great job, he wanted to transfer the workload and the title to someone else.
Even in the future if they had children, he wouldn't let her take motherly responsibility as long as she didn't want it. He would support her decision no matter what.
However, more than anything, he wanted her to be happy and wished that she would lead a relaxed life; just as he wanted her to take a nap since she was tired. She just recovered and shouldn't have taken any responsibility.
He really regretted that he wanted to hold a party for her. The situation wasn't the same as before. As long as there was a party, Mu Lan had to organize the whole event. It was a good thing that this might be her first and last organizing a party.
Mu Lan said in reply, "Cook for me some food if I am able to take a nap then." She laid on his lap while closing her eyes and instantly went to the dreamland. While she slept, Mu Liang gently stroked her head.

The next day came before the perpetration was over. At noon the Head Butler declared that everything was ready. Mu Lan sighed in relief.
In the evening, the guests started coming. The royals, he aristocrats and highly rich businessmen were all invited here. In the huge ballroom was decorated with creamy colored candles and the red silk curtains were tied in the sides of the ceiling to floor windows. The beauty of the flower garden came to the view of the guests. The flower garden was also decorated with dim yellow lights. Everything was grand and magnificent.
The classical music was being played by world class musicians. The smells of the food, costly wine and champagne were filled the whole ballroom.
The guests had arrived in time and gathered in the ballroom. They began praising the mistress of the household the moment the entered the ballroom.
Well, some of them.
One royal male guest praised Mu Lan's work."I thought that after that woman had taken the power, the Mu Family would go downwards. It looks like my presumption was wrong."
The aristocrat female who was with the royal guest sneered and said, "She did well for a commoner. She worked hard."
One businessman couldn't help but say, "Now I realized why the first young master chose this woman. She is exceptional if she can organize the whole party just like Madam Mu did in the past."
The female partner of his glared at him and said, "Who knows maybe that woman didn't so it but the Madam Mu did it but the glory will go to that woman. The Elder Mu must be suffering greatly."
Another woman who was still single and waited to seduce Mu Liang agreed to that woman."Of course, this is possible. That s**t seduced first young master. She must have some plots in her sleeves which we can't even master. I can't believe that first young master is taken by that lowly commoner."
"Who knows how many gigolos she played with? She must be an expert in that field." Another woman said. Her eyes were burning.
One of the aristocrat male guests said, "I heard that this new mistress was being bullied by her teachers. Once first young master that found out, he made those teachers compensate the Mu Family."
