Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Qin Yuanyi clenched the jade pendant tightly in his hand, as if he was going to crush it, and the joints of his fingers were faintly white.

Mu Chu looked at him and knew that he was suppressing his emotions, but wasn't Mu Chu the same? His father was killed by someone, and at this moment, he felt that the hatred in his heart was infinitely expanding, and he wanted to find the enemies and kill them immediately.

After a pause, Qin Yuanyi said, "Send the wounded soldier back to Kongling Mountain to recover."

Wang Xing said, "Yes, sir, I will send someone to take him back right away."

That night, news came from Changfeng Town that the 100,000-strong army led by Xu Zhiping had won a great victory. Qin Yuanyi ordered them to pursue the victory and he also led 30,000 troops to surround and intercept the enemy soldiers. The enemy soldiers were defeated. At dawn, news came that Nan Xiao had retreated, and Mu Chu did not sleep all night.

Of course, the success of this battle was also due to the timely delivery of the news from Baiyan.

The rest of the days were spent cleaning up the battlefield and counting the number of people. Half a month after the news was sent to the capital, a letter came from the capital saying that the emperor wanted to summon Qin Yuanyi. Qin Yuanyi had no choice but to return to the capital to report, and Mu Muchu also went back with him.

Seven days later, they arrived in the capital smoothly, and Mu Chu moved into Qin Yuanyi's villa again. When Xiao Tao saw Mu Chu, she cried again: "Miss, you scared me to death, why didn't you take me with you? Do you know that I was worried to death. If anything happened to you, I would not live either."

Mu Chu comforted her: "Okay, okay, I'll take you wherever I go from now on, okay?"

When Qin Yuanyi came back, Mu Chu had already prepared food for him. After they had dinner together, Qin Yuanyi asked Mu Chu, "Chu'er, the emperor wants to reward our Qin family. Your brother Qin Mufeng will be named Marquis of Jingyuan. In addition, the emperor has rewarded me with a mansion. I want to ask, do you want to live with me? Or live in the Qin Mansion?"

Hearing him ask this, Mu Chu was a little unhappy: "Uncle, do you still need to ask? I will definitely be with you. You know that the old lady and the lady can't tolerate me, and I don't get along well with my brother. If you let me go to the Qin Mansion, it would be better to send me to Kongling Mountain, so that I can stay with my master and senior brother, and I will be at ease."

Mu Chu's idea was within his expectations. Qin Yuanyi was not surprised. Instead, he said, "Chu'er, this is what your uncle thinks. You have already missed the age for marriage. Your father passed away? You have to observe mourning for three years. If you don't get engaged now, it will be difficult to find a suitable family in the future. You have to go to my house with me. First, I don't have many social events in Beijing, so I can't find a suitable candidate. Second, Wang is your mother after all. With her around, I can't make the decision on your marriage. And..."

"Okay, to put it bluntly, my uncle just wants to drive me away." Mu Chu interrupted him.

"I don't want to get married. If I have a choice, I would rather not get married for the rest of my life and just stay with my uncle. Those things have no meaning to me. I just want to live a comfortable life."

Qin Yuanyi was very surprised to hear her say these words: "Qin Muchu, what nonsense are you talking about? How can a girl not get married? Your uncle can't take care of you for the rest of your life. If you don't get married, who will you rely on in the future?"

Mu Chu angrily replied: "Uncle, do you really think that women must rely on men to live their lives? Can't I choose my own life? I can treat patients, and I can do other things to support myself. I don't want to marry someone I don't like just to survive. That would be worse than death, and I would be a walking corpse if I were alive."

Qin Yuanyi shook his head: "Chu'er, you are still young, you will understand when you grow up. Let's not talk about this today. I know what you think. Don't worry, no one can force you. As long as you don't want to, your uncle will never wrong you. I will protect you as long as I am here. When the mansion is ready in a few days, I will go to the old lady and ask her to take you there to live. It's getting late today. You should rest early after the journey. I'm leaving now."

Then he stood up and walked out.

Since coming back, Qin Yuanyi seemed to be very busy. Mu Chu would often see him at dinner time, and he was never at home at other times.

Mu Chu hid his little thoughts and quietly enjoyed the days with him.

Half a month later, Qin Yuanyi cleaned up his mansion and ordered people to move Mu Chu there. After arriving, Mu Chu discovered that it was a very beautiful courtyard.

All around the yard were planted various beautiful flowers emitting bursts of fragrance. When one walked into the yard, the scent of flowers filled the air. Mu Chu liked this feeling very much. There was also a pavilion in the yard, surrounded by white gauze curtains, and the chairs were thoughtfully cushioned. There were red koi in the small pond next to it. When Taxue saw this, he was so happy that he circled around the pond, stretching out his claws from time to time to try to catch a small fish.

There was a big crabapple tree planted in the southwest corner of the yard, and a swing was made under the tree. Mu sat on it and swung a few times, and her heart couldn't help but soften. He knew her. He knew what she liked. When she was in Kongling Mountain, her favorite thing was to swing on the swing, bask in the sun, and read lazily. He silently prepared all this for her.

Pushing the door open, he saw the bed surrounded by aqua blue curtains, and a table under the window. There were also vases with chrysanthemums of different colors. These were Mu Chu's living habits, and he felt like he had returned to his original residence.

After walking through the room and pushing the door open from the back, there was actually a small courtyard. Outside the door was a winding corridor, and stones formed a path under the steps. There were several large banana trees in the corner of the courtyard, and neatly arranged shelves in the courtyard with various herbs on them.

In the evening, Qin Yuanyi came to eat again. During the meal, he asked Mu Chu: "Chu'er, do you like the yard?"

Mu Chu put down his chopsticks and nodded happily: "Yes, I like it very much. My uncle has put all my hobbies in this small garden. I even like stepping on the snow very much. Now I am catching fish by the pond."

Qin Yuanyi also laughed after hearing this: "As long as you like it."

It was the first time that Mu Chu saw him smile so cheerfully. It turned out that he looked so handsome when he smiled, with the shallow dimples at the corners of his mouth, which made people fall into them unconsciously.

After dinner, Qin Yuanyi left again, and this time he didn't come back for a long time. When Mu Chu saw Wang Xing, she asked him about his situation. Wang Xing just told her that he was busy with something. Mu Chu went to his yard several times, but no one was there.
