The housekeeper replied: "It was Mr. Xiao from the General's Mansion who found him. Just now Mr. Xiao came back with the county owner. Now everyone in the capital knows!"
Yan Qin: "..."
Mu Yun'an came back with Xiao Chengyi, and everyone in the capital knew about it? Even if they were brother and sister, there wouldn't be any criticism if they came back together.
It's a pity that his son suffered so much and ended up getting nothing!
Yan Qin felt dissatisfied. Even if His Majesty wanted to grant a marriage, it would be impossible if things turned out like this. He rubbed his painful forehead and waved his hand to ask the butler to leave.
I heard Yan Jing preach: "Thank God, it would be great if the county lord is back."
Yan Qin looked at him and suddenly asked: "Xuan'er, tell me the truth, do you like the county leader?"
"Dad, what are you talking about? How could I like her?"
Yan Jingxuan had a look of horror on his face, and then he realized what he was doing and asked quickly: "Dad, are you going to have ideas about the county lord behind my back? I can tell you, you'd better put away this ridiculous idea.
I said I don’t want to marry, that’s because I haven’t met someone I like yet. If I do, I will definitely tell you, so don’t make any mistakes.”
As Yan Qin listened to his long talk, he was also murmuring in his heart. Could it be that his son really didn't have that interest in that girl Mu Yun'an?
If this is the case, it would not be a pity to miss this opportunity.
Rather than a marriage of profit, he hopes that his son will find true happiness and not be trapped by love and regret for life like him.
...
General's Mansion.
After Mu Zongping came to court, he heard that Mu Yunan had been rescued by Xiao Chengyi. Hearing this news, he was in a terrible mood, because nothing that happened recently went well.
The last time he sent someone to assassinate Xin Ruyi, not only did he fail to get rid of her, but he also asked her to revive Mu Rufeng. Not only that, the assassin was also caught by the imperial guards.
Now that Mu Yun'an and Yan Jingxuan were assassinated and came back safe and sound, why are their lives in the Mu family's eldest family so good?
After returning to the second room, Mu Zongping planned to ask Liu Lanxin to go to Mu Yun'an to show her courtesy. Unexpectedly, he was shocked when the door opened.
He saw his married wife, Mrs. Li, sitting in the main hall. She was wearing a simple and elegant dress, her hair was not pulled back, and her face was a little pale.
Seeing Mu Zongping come back, she hurriedly stood up and greeted him, calling in a soft voice: "Master, you are back."
Mu Zongping's face was full of shock. He stood there in a daze with fear in his heart. What was going on? Why did Mr. Li, who was dying of illness, suddenly come back to life? Or was he hallucinating?
"master."
Mrs. Li walked over, held Mu Zongping's hand and called out again: "Don't you recognize me?"
Mu Zongping felt that the temperature on his hand was not cold. He came back to his senses and stammered: "You...are you awake?"
Mrs. Li lowered her head in shame: "I lay in bed for too long and forgot some things when I woke up. I heard from Huan'er that I had a stroke.
The doctor also came to see me just now and said that it is a miracle that I can wake up, but my brain may not be able to function as well as before due to some damage. Master, you don't dislike me, do you?"
Mu Zongping's mind was in confusion. The medicine he gave Li was obviously poison. How could she suddenly get better? Did someone detoxify her, or was Li's fate great?
But she said she had forgotten something, and she didn’t know if it was true or not?
Mu Zongping looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze and asked, "What do you remember?"
Li replied: "I remember that my eldest brother brought back a woman and a boy, but I have no memory of what happened next. I wonder if they are married now?"
By the way, I heard from Huan'er that Master, you married another Mrs. Ping, where is your sister? I haven't seen her since I woke up?"
