Chapter 28

With a sound of "ding", the long arrow flew off the hilt of the sword, the sword body slid across Mu Wanqing's temples, and a strand of hair fluttered to the ground.

Just a little bit, she was going to see Lord Yama.

This extremely dangerous scene deeply stabbed Mu Erye and his wife's eyes, and Mu Er Madam's legs went soft and fell to the ground. "Qing'er."

Mu Wanqing touched her temples subconsciously, but it didn't hurt or bleed. "It's okay, I'm still alive."

However, she was completely irritated, with anger in her eyes, and she actually killed her. If it weren't for her life...no, someone should have rescued her.

She looked up.

A man in black came on horseback with a red cherry spear, and the sun hit him, as if covered with a layer of golden light, radiant.

A red cherry spear flew towards the man in the brown coat, imposing like a rainbow.

You Long smashed the world with one throw, and the Lone Spear and Nine Links of the country were absolutely invincible. Note 1

The brown-clothed man had already let go of his weapon, so he could only dodge frantically, but no matter how he escaped, he couldn't escape the range of the ***, the *** was as flexible as a snake, stabbed the brown-clothed man in the left side, the man only felt a sharp pain and couldn't help turning over. fell to the ground.

Before he could struggle to get up, Hong Ying aimed at his chest.

Seeing that he was about to be stabbed, the man in brown clothes turned pale, sweat dripped wildly, and his liver and gallbladder were torn apart.

He didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly revealed his identity, "Dare to ask who is coming? I am the guard of the fifth prince, surnamed Jiang."

The black-clothed man paused, "The Fifth Prince's person? What proof do you have?"

In order to survive, Jiang Guards could no longer care about the consequences of leaking secrets, and took out a token from his arms, which was the mark of the Fifth Prince's Mansion.

The man in black took the token and glanced at it, frowning slightly, "According to the court rules, the prince cannot leave the capital without the emperor's will."

Of course, this also includes the people in the Prince's Mansion.

This is also one of the reasons why Jiang Guards and his party acted in secret and disguised themselves and could not reveal their identities.

Jiang Guard's mind turned fast, and he became wise in his urgency. He thought of a rhetoric, "We are going back to our hometown to visit relatives, and I overheard these exiles talking nonsense, resenting the court and the king, and revolting. ."

He was suddenly smeared with feces, especially his wide open mouth was stuffed.

The initiator also looked at it seriously, "Such a dirty mouth is very suitable for horse manure."

Should! Master Zeng and the others are all gloating about misfortune, but it is really hateful to frame them face to face and want to kill them.

Jiang Guard clasped his throat and vomited wildly, spitting out his bile.

He was disgusted and stared at him, "You little bitch..."

Mu Wanqing picked up the stone by the roadside and threw it at it, casually, but with a precise target. "Snapped."

Guard Jiang was hit in the chest, he inhaled in pain, and looked at his companions subconsciously.

But the companions all stood far away, and had absolutely no will to fight for him.

His heart froze, this is the end of the renegade?

How could they not understand his pains? Mu Wanqing is a man of many ghosts and deep thoughts. If he doesn't get rid of it as soon as possible, he will one day become a serious problem for his confidants.

Du Shaoxuan turned his head and looked at him casually, "Who are you?"

Mu Wanqing took a look at it, the man in black was unexpectedly young, not as young as a weak crown, a heroic figure between a teenager and a young man, his face was like a crown of jade, and his whole body was like a drawn sword, full of vigor.

Although he was dressed in dust, he couldn't hide his awe-inspiring aura.

□□'s steed is majestic and majestic, with flying long manes, unusually stern.

A member of the military, with a high status and strong martial arts, this was the label of Mu Wanqing's first impression of him.

"Mu Wanqing, the unfortunate niece of the former household servant, exiled the prisoner."

She introduced herself generously, "This son, this bastard leads his subordinates to kill, burn, loot, and even refuse to let go of the female prisoners in exile. Whatever you say, all the women in the world should belong to him, I really don't know. Where did he get the confidence? The wise and wise emperor, His Majesty, would never say such despicable and shameless words."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at her with an extremely strange expression. What was she talking about?

The guards were dumbfounded and stunned. When did they say such a rebellious thing? This is clearly out of nothing!

The Mu family was very calm, and had long been accustomed to her routine, but instead had an inexplicable pleasure.

What they suffered, it was finally someone else's turn, hahaha.

Mu Wanqing pointed at Jiang Guard, who was bewildered on the ground. He could talk nonsense, why couldn't she? This is called repaying oneself with the way of others.

"He, a guard of the Prince's Palace, is even more powerful than the emperor. It's really appalling. This imperial power has already fallen to the Jiang family?"

Du Shaoxuan's handsome face was cracked, cracked inch by inch, this girl... so brave!

Jiang Guard's blood rushed to his forehead, his whole body was about to explode, and it was over.

He roared angrily, "You are talking nonsense."

"No? That means that your master has already become an emperor?" Mu Wanqing said with a confused expression, "Oh, hey, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will usually be very famous in the world, can we also get Tehe, we don't have to go there. Border..."

The more she talked, the more outrageous she was, but she stepped on the key points every word, like dancing on the tip of a knife.

Jiang Guard's face was ugly as if someone had died in the family. How could this girl's mouth be more savage than those old foxes in the court?

If it spreads out, will their whole family still be alive?

No, not only to kill the rhythm of his family, but also to bring the whole family of the Fifth Prince!

Ruthless, too ruthless.

"Shut up, do you know how many people this will kill?"

Mu Wanqing laughed, "It turns out that your life is your life. We are just the scumbags who bully/humiliate and kill at will, but the rabbits are biting people when they are in a hurry."

How could he be so reckless when he assassinated her?

Only allow him to kill, but not allow them to resist? Why?

Jiang Guard couldn't compete with her, so he turned to the man in black, "This son, these are all sinners exiled by the court, their words are not credible, my master likes to make friends the most, if I recommend it, you are like this The character of the five princes will naturally fall into the eyes of the fifth prince."

Du Shaoxuan was a little surprised, "So what?"

Jiang Guards only acted as a show, and pointed at Mu Wanqing and the others with great excitement, "These people are disrespectful and disrespectful to the court and the royal family. They should all be killed, and there will be no future troubles."

I was still doing things in secret just now, but now it's on the bright side.

It is already an endless situation, and keeping these people alive is a major hidden danger.

He didn't even want to let go of the escort officer, which shows how ruthless he is.

The faces of the people he called changed, they were angry and angry, and they wanted to beat him up.

Master Zeng looked anxious, "That's not the case, we are all officials from the court..."

In Jiang Guard's eyes, a lowly official is nothing, if he dies, he will die.

"You have already been turned against by this demon girl, you all deserve to die." Jiang guards thought of killing people and tried their best to bewitched, "This son, do you want to be the guest of honor at the Prince's Palace? If you want, remove these troubles for the master. …”

He couldn't beat him, but he could use the power of the Prince's Palace to win over others and make them a knife in his hand.

A cold voice sounded, "I don't want to."

"Uh uh, what did you say?" Jiang guard rubbed his ears in disbelief. Who in this world can refuse an olive branch extended by a prince?

Du Shaoxuan jumped off the horse neatly, with an expression that could not hide his disgust, "Looking at the people like weeds, it seems that you have done this kind of thing too much, and you are not worthy of being a human being."

Mu Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, this person's three views are normal, and he has a full sense of justice.

"This son, you are a chivalrous person who met Lu Jianbu and drew his sword. You can't repay your life-saving kindness, only..."

Du Shaoxuan interrupted impatiently, "Promise yourself, don't."

Seeing this kind of thing a lot, he is really annoying!

"Please don't get involved in this kind of shit, leave early..." At the same time, Mu Wanqing said, and the two of them looked at each other, a little astonished.

"Cough cough." Mu Wanqing was choking on her own saliva, "Young Master, I'm still a child, what do you think?" Thirteen-year-old child, no problem.

A sudden change in style.

Du Shaoxuan knew that he was wrong, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

A rush of hooves sounded, a group of black knights galloped fast, everyone's nerves were tense again, who is it?

The knights in black came down and saluted Du Shaoxuan in a uniform manner, "Master."

Du Shaoxuan nodded his head slightly, with a power of not being angry.

Forbidden, well-trained, that is the rule in the military.

The knight at the front was worried, "Master, don't run so fast next time, it's too dangerous."

The master's steed is running too fast, everyone can't catch up, worry.

Du Shaoxuan waved his hand with a calm expression, "I have my own measure."

The subordinates sighed, following a master who is too assertive, what else can we do?

Guard Jiang stared blankly at the black-clothed man, his mind spinning fast, he had such a group of subordinates, he couldn't be a nameless person, but who was he?

Doesn't he know the consequences of offending the prince?

At a glance, Mu Wanqing saw the flustered mu Ziang on the horse's back. Seeing that his family was safe, Mu Ziang relaxed, his eyes instantly turned red, and tears flowed down his face.

He thought it was too late!

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, "Young Master, I have a few words to say."

Du Shaoxuan looked over, and his expression recovered, "Speak."

Mu Wanqing pointed at Jiang Guards and his party, "Leave these people to me, you can go on your way. Today's events will never be revealed, I promise."

She was kind and didn't want him to get involved.

She was unavoidable, she would die if she didn't fight back, but they were just passing by.

If she guessed correctly, he is a member of the military, and offending a prince will have too much influence on him, and maybe he will kill his family.

People saved her, but she couldn't hurt them.

Although she didn't say it clearly, Du Shaoxuan understood it. She was a little surprised. She glanced at her one more time. The girl was not yet her age, but she was thoughtful, kind and gentle, and her grievances were clear.

"What are you going to do with it?"

Mu Wanqing focused slightly and thought for a while, "He wants my life, I'm just a timid girl, so if I don't want him to die, I'll break his tendons."

Before she finished speaking, she picked up the long sword and stabbed it sharply, swish a few times.

"Ah ah ah."

The sword rose and the sword fell, and Jiang Guard's hands and feet were all abolished.

He was completely useless in martial arts, and it was impossible for him to hold a sword again in this life.

It was more painful and desperate than killing him.

He was in pain and couldn't help but yell, "You bitch... ah."

There is another blood hole in his body, Mu Wanqing will never be blind if he can do it.

Mu Wanqing had a look of fear on her face, "I'm sorry, you shouted too loudly. I was so frightened in my heart, my hands were shaking, and I didn't hold the sword firmly."

She looked very guilty, "Guard Jiang, I didn't hurt you, why didn't you hide?"

Crowd: ...

Jiang Guard has never seen such a brazen woman, saying one thing and doing another, beheading someone and saying anything about fear.

md, let's have lightning strike her to death.

He couldn't help but yell.

Mu Wanqing ignored him at all and turned to look at the others, "As for you..."

The guards looked at the bloody leader, then at the long sword in her hand, and involuntarily took a few steps back, apparently frightened by her ruthless means.

One of the guards couldn't be cowardly, "I didn't want to kill you, it was Jiang's mind that was dizzy, it was his personal behavior."

The others nodded, "Yes, it has nothing to do with us."

"We swore we didn't hurt a single hair of your hair."

When Jiang Guard broke his oath, they felt uncomfortable, for fear that the oath would be fulfilled.

If you are not trustworthy and go back on your word, who will obey him?

Now, why would you want to be implicated by him? Naturally, it is trying to cut and separate the relationship.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly, "There are currently two plans. One is to let you all go back to the capital. I will have people spread the word about what happened today, including the fact that you swore and regretted it."

Everyone's faces turned blue, this girl is a ruthless character, offending her will kill her.

Today's affairs can't be said in the sun, otherwise the reputation of the fifth prince will be ruined, what good fruit do they have to eat?

As for the content of the oath, the fifth prince would feel comfortable knowing that he was sworn by him?

I also broke oath... Hey, can't think about it, don't dare to think about it.

"Is there another plan?"

Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes wide and she was very smart, "The guards are kind-hearted. Seeing that our group is lonely and helpless, they decided to escort us for a ride, and send us to the border before returning to Beijing."

Well, she needs a few coachmen! Need chores! Need to work!

Crowd: ...

There is nothing more arrogant, only the most arrogant. If you ask which operation is the most arrogant in the world, it is up to Miss Mu San.

There is nothing she can't do, only what she can't think of.

Mu Wanqing ignored everyone's different expressions, and smiled more amiably, "Of course, we are also polite people, and we won't let you go away empty-handed."

In just two sentences, both soft and hard, intimidating and threatening Shi En, everything was used.

The guards whispered, discussed it, and decided to do it anyway.

Just take it as a way to avoid the limelight, and go back when things calm down.

How do you reply if you go back now? If you can't make a difference, it will also lead to suspicion.

Miss Mu San won't let them go, and they can't beat this black-clothed man.

Du Shaoxuan couldn't help but glance at her again, how old is she? Are the little girls so powerful now?

He pointed out, "Aren't you afraid that they will make a bad hand on the road?"

This time, Mu Wanqing did not dare to gamble on human nature, and only believed in her own methods.

"I will write a few letters to the merchants I know. If I have a problem, let everyone accompany me. I am a person who is afraid of loneliness."

See, it's too noisy.

She said it so loudly that the guards heard it, looked at each other, and felt bitter in her heart, so she said it to them on purpose.

There are too many tricks to play.

Du Shaoxuan kicked Jiang's guard, "Where's this person?"

Jiang Guard's heart was raised, why should she be the master? What kind of onion is she?

In her hands, he is dead.

"This son, let me go, I promise that nothing will happen."

But no one believed it, not even his companions.

Mu Wanqing pondered for a while, very embarrassed, "How about let him go?"

Her answer surprised everyone, didn't she?

Is she actually kind and relentless? This is not like Miss Mu San.

Du Shaoxuan's eyes were strange, "You can't let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Mu Wanqing was worried, "Then what should I do? Killing is wrong. Only the government has the right to decide a person's life or death."

Master Zeng suddenly said, "Take him to the border and put shackles on him."

Mu Wanqing nodded without thinking, "Then listen to you."

The decision to kill is only a thin line from being ruthless.

The former will only make people admire, the latter will make people terrified.

However, she is holding this scale, too loose will not achieve the effect, too much will only be counterproductive.

Jiang Guard's hands were restrained, he simply dealt with the wound, and was dragged away.

Mu Wanqing let out a long sigh, showing a look of fear, not as calm and capable as before.

Seeing this, Mu Erye and his wife were so distressed that they surrounded her and reassured her, "Are you alright? Are you scared? Don't be afraid, the bad guys have been taken away."

Crowd: ...Who is the one who is frightened? Are you blind?

Mrs. Mu patted her daughter's arm lightly, "Qing'er, why are you so bold? It scared me to death."

His heart was still beating wildly, and he was a little breathless.

Mu Ziang came over with red eyes, "sister, you should run next time. You are much smarter than me."

Mu Wanqing comforted him with a smile, "Second brother, you are very brave today. You are not afraid to get help and save everyone."

mu Ziang pursed his lips slightly, "actually, I'm very scared."

Mu Wanqing praised fiercely, "You are obviously scared, and you come back with rescue soldiers, that's even more precious, second brother, you are awesome."

Every word she said made muziang's eyes red and her heart warmed.

How can there be such a cute sister?

Mu Zicheng touched her sister's head and vowed secretly to work hard and be strong and become the support of her family.

Not far from Master Zeng, the corner of her mouth twitched, she was too good at talking, too good at coaxing people.

Du Shaoxuan looked around, stood up, sat on the horse, and all his men followed.

Mu Wanqing's eyes were sharp, and when she saw it, she quickly ran over.

"My son's life-saving grace I will keep in my heart. If the son needs to come to Liangcheng to find me in the future, I am willing to do three things for the son. scope."

Know how to be grateful and have a bottom line, it is easy to win the favor of others.

Liangcheng? Du Shaoxuan believed in the sincerity in her words at the moment, and there was a hint of warmth in her eyes, "It's just a little effort, don't take it to heart and say goodbye."

After saying this, he waved his whip lightly, and a group of people galloped away.

...

In the inn, Mr. Zeng had a courtyard and arranged for the exiles early.

Everyone has experienced a thrilling day, and they are all exhausted. They just want to rest in peace.

Jiang Guard was seriously injured and fell into a coma, so he quickly arranged to find a doctor.

Only, looking at the guards who stayed, it was a headache, and didn't know how to arrange them.

The guards of the Prince's Mansion went out and were more respectable than the average rank four officials.

And he was just a little yaman.

The guard was a little impatient, "Why don't you speak? What do we need to do? However, let's say in advance that we won't listen to your orders."

The seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's gate, they are the people of the Prince's Mansion, and their identities are unusual.

Even if it is to avoid disaster, it is impossible to listen to others.

Master Zeng had a splitting headache, and his official position was really not in the flow, "You are left by Miss Mu San, so naturally, let her arrange it."

The guards looked hesitant. To be honest, they looked down on the yamen in front of them, and they didn't even look at them before.

However, asking them to listen to a woman's arrangement does not seem to be dignified.

Regardless of seniority or background, Master Zeng couldn't hold them back.

He simply sent out the hot Shan Yu, "Go and ask Miss Mu San to come over."

The second room was preparing to have dinner, and when he heard Master Zeng's call, Second Master Mu took the initiative to accompany his daughter over,

Mu Wanqing walked up to him, and Mr. Zeng said impatiently, "Last time you said that there are not enough people, so these people are all yours."

Mu Wanqing glanced at the guards lightly. For some reason, the guards couldn't help but put away their unruly sides.

She still remembers the brutal appearance of the knife, and she is a ruthless person.

Moreover, she has too much means to pit her own leader.

No, they were also duped.

"Do you know the Four Books and Five Classics? Can you write policy theories? Can you farm? Can you do business?"

The corners of the guards' mouths twitched, "No, but we know martial arts."

Mu Wanqing didn't care what they thought, "That's fine, I need two personal bodyguards, 12 taels of silver a month, food and accommodation, who would like that?"

As soon as the voice fell, someone rushed out, "Me."

"I."

The two guards introduced themselves, one was Zhang San and the other was Li Si. They were not much valued in the mansion, and their martial arts were not inferior, and they were relatively mediocre in all aspects.

Their monthly monthly silver is 5 taels, and Mu Wanqing has doubled the price, so it is natural to be happy to sign up.

Some people are annoyed, some people are disdainful, and they have all kinds of ideas.

Mu Wanqing didn't care, "Then it's yours."

What she wants is a coachman, and she can help with some chores by the way. It doesn't matter if the martial arts are high or not, just be obedient.

"As for the others, are you interested in making money? We have made thousands of dollars since we left the capital."

Who would think that there is less money? The guards suddenly became interested, "How to make money?"

Mu Wanqing revealed the plan that had been brewing in her heart for a long time. "I plan to approve some goods to be sold at the border gate. For example, the scarce cloth medicinal materials at the border gate, it is no problem to turn it over and turn it several times."

She had this plan before, but there was not enough manpower.

The main task of the officials is to escort the prisoners and manage the prisoners without making any mistakes.

Moreover, it is not peaceful to go out. There are many gangsters who make a living by robbery. You either have a certain amount of force yourself in business, or you can hire an escort.

Now there are these good guards, which just makes up for this shortcoming.

The guards looked at each other and discussed it for a while. A guard named Shen Yong responded, "This is fine, but I don't know what the rules are?"

Anyway, it is idle, it is better to do a little business to make some money, it is not a waste of time.

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips, "To raise funds to buy shares, I will contribute 400 taels, accounting for 20% of the shares, Mr. Zeng, you and your subordinates will contribute 800 taels, accounting for 40% of the shares, Shen Yong, you will also contribute 80% of the shares. One hundred and two forty percent, how about it?"

Two, four, four, separation of powers is the most solid way of cooperation.

Binding with interests is the long-term way.

Master Zeng and Shen Yong hesitated for a while, and both were a little undecided.

After thinking about it and discussing it for a while, there is no better plan.

They don't want to be crushed by each other.

In the end, Mr. Zeng took the lead in making a decision, "Yes, there is no doubt about Miss San's business ability, I believe in you."

Both parties agreed, and one of Shen Yong's guards had to agree.

Mu Wanqing continued to promote the plan, "Next, a three-person decision-making group will be formed. All plans will be decided by the three-person group. One person will be selected from each party. Is there any objection?"

"No."

This is very simple, Master Zeng and Shen Yong were elected, and together with Mu Wanqing, they formed a trio.

Mu Wanqing easily won a certain right to speak and squeezed into the decision-making level, but this is not her ultimate goal.

"Since there is a decision-making group, there must be a leader who has the overall situation and makes the final decision when there is a disagreement. Let's choose."

"I recommend Brother Shen."

"I recommend Brother Zeng."

The two sides are at a stalemate, and both want to push their own people to the top.

Mu Wanqing didn't get involved, just took the pen and paper to outline the drawing, enjoying herself.

There was no one winner or loser in the quarrel, and when Master Zeng turned his head, he frowned slightly when he saw that Mu Wanqing was out of the way.

"Miss Third, what do you want to say?"

Mu Wanqing raised her head, her bright eyes like water, "I gave a test question, all about business. The question is very simple. Whoever answers the best will be the leader. This is the most fair, how?"

A guard jumped out, "You're sure to answer it best, where's the fairness?"

"No, no, I'm an examiner." Mu Wanqing handed over the paper full of words, "Don't you dare? Afraid of exposing the fact that she is inferior to a woman?"

"Who dares not? Just take the test." The guard was the first to grab the test question, then turned to petrified, rubbed his eyes, and looked suspicious of life again.

Master Zeng leaned over to take a look, the corners of his mouth twitched, is this simple? It's deadly.

"Miss San, do you know the questions above?"

Everyone was dumbfounded when they got the title, what chickens and rabbits are in the same cage? Dizzy looking at it.

What else is there to make a plan for selling goods, and write the whole process out.

Headache!

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "Of course, it's very simple. The chicken and rabbit are in the same cage. The question is from "Sun Tzu's Suanjing".

"This question is to write a plan and test a person's planning ability."

"This form is to test a person's overall planning ability."

"This policy topic is to test a person's ability to coordinate and organize."

Everyone's scalp is numb, oh my god, what kind of pervert is this? No wonder they asked what they would do as soon as they came up.

The topic of policy is the skills that scholars who take the imperial examination should know, they are warriors!

However, it cannot be said that Mu Wanqing deliberately embarrassed others.

As a leader, these are essential qualities.

Being in a high position with insufficient ability is a disaster.

Virtue does not match, there will be disasters. Virtue is weak and position is respected, wisdom is small but great, strength is small and responsibilities are heavy, and it is rarely enough. Note (2)

Master Zeng wanted to understand this, and put the pen in both hands, "Miss San, you write, we will watch."

"It's not fair..." Some people didn't want to understand, but Shen Yong glared back, "No no, you come."

Mu Wanqing picked up the brush and began to write. The small letters in her hand were extremely beautiful, as smooth as flowing water.

After a while, she put down the pen, "Okay."

Looking at the answers she wrote, everyone was shocked.

A plan is detailed and well-organized, how to shop around, how to investigate and collect market information, where to get goods, and how to arrange staff, showing its strong planning ability and super coordinating ability.

The most amazing thing is the form, the running account, the account, the account, the profit plan, the most cumbersome accounting report, they can understand it.

Shen Yong sighed softly, the difference between people is too great.

Some people are born geniuses, such as Miss Mu San in front of me.

The Mu clan actually produced such a character.

"If the accounts of the accountant are so clear, everyone will be saved, and they will not be fooled."

Master Zeng was completely convinced. Even if he was killed, he couldn't write such a perfect answer, and he didn't understand these things. "I recommended Miss Mu San as the leader, and I convinced her."

He does have some small abilities, but he is a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from such an extremely intelligent person.

"I also recommend the third young lady." Shen Yong was also convinced, even though she was a little girl, she had the means, the scheming, and the decision to kill, and she was not short of everything.

In this way, Mu Wanqing relied on a single test question to gain the greatest say.

Whether she can convince these people all the time depends on whether she can bring them huge benefits.

Interest is the foundation of human-to-human interaction.

You can't bring benefits to others, why should others look at you highly?

The bustling world is for profit, and the bustling world is for profit. Note 3

On the other hand, Mu Jinyao suffered unprecedented cold violence.

The clansmen avoided her like the plague, with a look of disgust.

One of the twins in the capital, she used to be so beautiful, but now she almost killed their entire clan.

Even her biological father, Uncle Mu, said a few words to her.

Mu Jinyao's eyes reddened, he was the one who encouraged her to overpower the noble ladies in the capital, and now it was he who called her vain and selfish.

Mrs. Mu was very distressed, "Hey, who would have thought it would turn out like this, you should keep a low profile in the future, don't comb your hair, don't wash your face..."

Listening to her mother's babble, Mu Jinyao felt even more uncomfortable. She also felt that she was wrong, didn't she?

She couldn't sleep at night, she turned around at will, but moved to the place where the second bedroom of the Mu family lived.

She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand to knock on the door, but her movements froze for a while, then she withdrew her hand and turned to leave.

The door opened, Mu Wanqing leaned against the door with her hair loose, and yawned, "Is something wrong?"

Mu Jinyao's eyes were red and swollen, "Third sister, everyone is blaming me, am I really wrong?"

She was very confused.

At the beginning, she just wanted to gain more bargaining chips for herself and successfully marry into a high family, without hurting others.

What she said was vague, but Mu Wanqing Bingxue was smart and understood as soon as she heard it, "It's not your fault, it's the fifth prince's fault, his wives and concubines are still secretly coveting you, and he can't wait to take advantage of the fire when he sees you in trouble, it's really embarrassing. Shit."

"You'd rather have the integrity of the jade than the tile, than countless men." She appreciates this very much.

It is still necessary to be a man.

Mu Jinyao was extremely surprised, but she felt it was normal. It was like what the third sister said, "Only you say that, everyone is afraid of the fifth prince's retaliation, and also worried that... it will lead to more danger."

There is no air-tight wall under the sky, in fact, she can understand the feelings of the people.

"I'm afraid of a ghost, whoever dares to harm me, I will kill him." Mu Wanqing had no reverence for the imperial power, neither the prince nor the princess, nor the emperor, were her loyalties.

She is free and independent. She wants to be the strongest person without looking at anyone's face or bowing her head to anyone.

Mu Jinyao looked at her blankly, envious, how could someone be so strong and fearless? "You say, if my face is ruined..."

If beauty is not there, those dirty calculations will disappear.

Before she could finish speaking, Mu Wanqing frowned and interrupted, "Don't be stupid, beauty is innocent, don't give in easily, why punish yourself with someone else's fault?"

"Only when you are strong can you protect yourself and have more choices. This is my advice to you."

Listen or not, that's her business.

Everyone has to walk their own way.

With a word to wake up the dreamer, Mu Jinyao's dull eyes glowed, "I see, thank you, third sister."

Mu Wanqing got up early in the morning and lay by the window to look outside. The weather was fine and she could get ready.

The cook brought the food diligently, "Miss San, breakfast is ready, how about you try it?"

A bowl of fragrant stewed eggs and two fat buns, only Mu Wanqing had such special treatment.

Everyone else eats a big pot of porridge.

Mu Wanqing took a bite of the egg custard and put it in her mouth, commenting, "The temperature of the stew is just right, it's neither old nor tender, just a little light."

"The sugar buns are soft and sweet. If the full score is ten, this one can be given eight points."

The cook smiled happily, as if he had received a huge benefit, "You taught me well, and Second Master Mu also helped."

After the cook left, Second Master Mu hesitated.

Mu Wanqing sensed it, "Father, what do you want to say?"

Second Master Mu hesitated for a while, "I... think cooking is interesting, and I... want to learn."

He often plays with his daughter, and after watching it too much, he has a strong interest.

Mu Wanqing still thought what was the big deal, that's all? "Okay, I'll teach you."

She has too many things to do, and it is impossible to be a cook all the time. Therefore, she has been teaching the cook. The cook especially cherishes the opportunity to learn, practiced hard every day, and made rapid progress.

If Second Master Mu wants to learn, let's go together.

"You don't object?" Second Master Mu was very surprised. Cooking is a cheap job in the eyes of the world, and others don't take it seriously.

"Why do you object?" Mu Wanqing looked confused, "You just like it."

The teacher who taught her to cook was the chef of the state banquet, and she was very respected, and the leaders praised her.

Second Master Mu looked at his wife, "Madam."

Mrs. Mu Er is the person who knows him best. Her husband has been locked up at home, living in confusion and depression, and there is rarely one thing he likes.

"We are not the family members of officials now. We don't need any dignity. You can do it if you like. It's very hard work. When you're tired, you can rest."

Second Master Mu was moved to look at his wife and daughter. They will always support him unconditionally. This is family.

A voice came from outside, "Miss San, we are going."

"Come here now."

This time, there were two more bodyguards beside Mu Wanqing, "Zhang San, come and help me drive."

She pointed to another carriage, "Li Si, you drive that carriage over there."

"Yes." The two were obedient.

In this way, Erye Mu and his wife can rest comfortably in the carriage.

"Big brother, second brother, let's take turns driving the mule cart."

"Okay." The mu Zicheng brothers are quite happy and can take turns to rest.

Everyone's envious eyes are red, the second room's small days are getting better and better, and now they all use the driver.

Just as they were about to set off, two carriages came quickly and blocked their way, "Wait a minute, may I ask, is this the Mu family in the capital?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"Excuse me, who is Mu Zhongping's second master?"

Second Master Mu always felt that this scene was a bit familiar, "I am."

The coachman in front stopped the carriage and introduced himself, "I am the housekeeper of the Chen family, and I came here to break off the marriage."

Chen family? The eldest son's Yue family? Second Master Mu was stunned, and finally came.

Just as he was about to speak, the curtain of the latter carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful and sad face.

"This is the fourth miss of the Yu family."

Second Master Mu was stunned, and his mind was a little confused. The fourth miss of the Yu family was the wife he had reserved for his second son.

How could they appear here with the Chen family?

You don't need to be present in person to break off the marriage.

what's the situation?
