Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Seeing Xiaotao's nervous look, Mu Chu comforted her again: "Don't worry, uncle won't ignore us. With uncle here, they dare not do anything. You go to uncle's yard and tell them, and uncle will pick us up when he comes back."

So Xiao Tao went to Qin Yuanyi's yard, and Wang Xing just came back. Xiao Tao went up to him and called him: "Wang Xing, when will the young master come back?"

Wang Xing paused: "I don't know either, but what's the matter?"

Xiao Tao said nervously, "Old Madam Qin sent someone to ask Miss to return to the Qin Mansion this morning. Miss said she wanted to go and take a look. I was afraid something might happen, so I wanted to tell the Master."

After hearing this, Wang Xing's face was solemn: "I understand, I will go find you right away, don't be afraid."

When Xiao Tao heard Wang Xing say this, she felt relieved and went back to Mu Chu's yard to dress her up.

When the two of them went out, the Qin Mansion's carriage was already waiting at the door. Mu Chu got on the carriage and went to the Qin Mansion with the old woman who came to pick them up.

After arriving at Qin's house, someone was already waiting at the door to greet him. He led Mu Chu directly to the old lady's courtyard. When he saw Old Lady Qin, Mu Chu bowed and said, "Greetings to the old lady."

Old Madam Qin looked at her and said, "Why don't you call me Grandma? Are we really so estranged?"

Mu Chu looked up at her and spoke slowly: "Old Madam, you have never treated me as your granddaughter, right? Why bother with these empty formalities? Anyway, it won't affect our relationship no matter what you call me. No matter how affectionate you are, it won't change the fact that you don't like me."

Madam Qin was indeed a person who had seen the world. After Mu Chu had spoken back to her, her face darkened at first, and then she smiled calmly and said, "You are a very sharp-tongued girl. It seems that Qin Yuanyi has been overly indulgent to you in recent years. I called you here today not for anything else, but to arrange a marriage for you.

Although we are not close, and you would rather live in your uncle's house than in your own home, you are the daughter of the Qin family after all, and you are also of marriageable age. Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. Now that your father has passed away, your marriage must be arranged by your mother. "

Mu Chu interrupted her, his eyes were indifferent and his tone was cold: "What? Which old man does the old lady want to marry me to as a concubine? My father's body is still warm and you are doing this to his daughter? This is a bit too hasty. You are full of benevolence and morality, but what qualifications do you have to arrange my marriage? I would rather die than help you."

Madam Qin thought she had misunderstood the other party's status, so she smiled instead of getting angry: "Chu'er, it's like this, I will naturally not let my daughter of the Qin family be a concubine to others. I will naturally find a good family for you and let you marry a husband that suits your heart."

Mu Chu listened to what she said, and felt that she was plotting something again. So he immediately interrupted her, "Don't bother, old lady. My father just passed away, and I'm not in the mood to talk about marriage. I want to observe mourning for my father. Let's talk about it after three years."

Madam Qin said, "That won't delay the marriage. You can get engaged first and then get married three years later."

Seeing her so anxious, Mu Chu became more certain. No matter what conspiracy she had, he was not afraid of her. He said calmly, "I appreciate the old lady's kindness, but I have been in Kongling Mountain for too long. I am afraid that I don't know the rules and have no talent. No good family will choose me as a daughter-in-law. I am afraid that the old lady has wasted her efforts."

Seeing that Mu Chu was not moved, Old Lady Qin changed her tone: "Well, in that case, grandma won't force you. Concubine Wang's birthday is in seven days. The palace has issued an edict inviting all officials to come to the palace to celebrate Concubine Wang's birthday. Young ladies and ladies from all families will go, and you will come with me then."

Mu Chu didn't want to get entangled with her, so he could only agree first: "Okay, grandma, wait for me to go back and prepare."

Unexpectedly, the old lady spoke again: "It's only a few days away. According to my opinion, you can just stay in the mansion. I will let Nanny Sun teach you the rules of entering the palace."

Mu Chu saw that there was no way to refuse. When he was in a dilemma, Qin Yuanyi came. Mu Chu was pleasantly surprised and heard him say, "Madam, I am here to take Mu Chu home."

Madam Qin looked at him and said, "Go home? Mu Chu is only staying at your place temporarily. The Qin Mansion is her home. I have just discussed with her that she will go to the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Imperial Concubine in seven days. Now she needs to stay in the mansion to teach her the etiquette of entering the palace. Why do you want her to go back to your place?"

Qin Yuanyi's face darkened slightly: "Madam, whose idea is this? Why would you suddenly let Mu Chu participate in this kind of banquet? She doesn't understand anything."

Seeing that she could no longer conceal the truth, the old lady could only speak: "This is the news that came from the palace early in the morning. It said that our Crown Princess is virtuous and kind, and the Royal Concubine Wang wants to see her other daughters and wants to bring them into the palace to have a look."

Qin Yuanyi frowned. Li Wenqing acted really quickly. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked up at the old lady and said, "Chu'er has a perverse personality. It's not something that an ordinary nanny can teach. Nanny Sang in my house used to be an old lady in the palace. I have sent someone to bring her back to my house. I asked her to teach Mu Chu."

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Qin Yuanyi, Madam Qin could only wave her hands and said, "Forget it, since you are willing to make trouble, then let you make trouble. I will go and pick someone up to enter the palace in seven days."

Mu Chu went back with Qin Yuanyi. After getting on the carriage, Mu Chu felt that Qin Yuanyi was suppressing a hidden anger and his mood was very low. Mu Chu dared not say anything. He knew in his heart that this matter must be related to the fall into the water that night. The more he thought about it, the more he blamed himself. If only he had not gone out that day.
