If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Chapter 469: Coming for Her

Seeing Mrs. Mu's behavior, Shen Sui'an felt a sense of familiarity.

Isn’t this what Song Xiuzhi did in her previous life?

Seeing Mrs. Mu really felt like a lifetime ago. I hadn’t thought about Song Xiuzhi, the woman responsible for life and death, for a long time.

She more or less understood why Mu Chengtian had a son with Mu Dasao, and was later seduced into having a daughter.

Mrs. Mu has a straightforward personality and cannot act as weak and artificial as Sister-in-law Mu. Mu Chengtian is a man and naturally sympathizes with the weak, so his sympathy for Sister-in-law Mu can easily turn into other emotions.

What a dog man.

"Sister-in-law, how can you say that to me? I just want to help you entertain the guests." Mrs. Mu said softly, wiping the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

"Tian, ​​I slapped you last time. Did the old lady and Mu Chengtian take care of it for you?" Madam Mu suddenly said.

Mrs. Mu subconsciously covered her cheek and took a step back.

"I...I'll go and accompany the old lady." Mrs. Mu turned and left.

Madam Mu took a deep breath and gave Shen Sui'an a forced smile, "Princess, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Shen Sui'an took the initiative to hold Madam Mu's hand, "Aunt Mu, your two sons have grown up and are young and promising. You don't have to care about some illusory things."

"It seems that the princess has heard about the dirty deeds of the Mu family." Mrs. Mu laughed at herself.

The fact that Mu Chengtian was marrying his widowed sister-in-law was indeed a secret, but Mu's sister-in-law was unwilling to accept this and deliberately made the secret known to everyone.

"It's hard for you." Shen Suian whispered to comfort him.

"The last time the prince came to visit Mu Chengtian, I was still on my way back to the capital, otherwise I wouldn't have let her embarrass herself like this." Madam Mu explained.

"To be honest with you, Aunt Mu, I also learned some Kung Fu from the prince when I was free. However, I am not strong enough, so I chose the sleeve arrow. Today I would like to ask Aunt Mu for advice on martial arts." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

Let’s get over this matter about Mrs. Mu.

There's no need to keep talking about awful people.

Originally, we could have watched a play and had some snacks, and the banquet would have been over, but there could be no joy in the family during a period of national mourning.

Shen Sui'an just catered to his wishes.

This proposal really won Mrs. Mu's heart.

Madam Mu asked someone to prepare some refreshments and brought Shen Sui'an to her practice room.

"My hobbies are different from those of other ladies from noble families. I usually like to play with these weapons." Madam Mu said with a smile, "If the princess doesn't like it, we can go to another place."

Shen Sui'an's eyes lit up when he saw the various weapons in the training room.

"These weapons seem to be more suitable for women." Shen Suian said in surprise.

Madam Mu smiled and nodded, "Yes, they were all made specially for me by the Ministry of Industry when I was in the military camp."

"The Queen Mother has an army of women under her command, and the weapons they hold are the most elite." Mrs. Mu said.

Shen Sui'an has yet to truly witness the power of Queen Dowager Ruan's female army.

"The princess practices archery, so you can try this." Madam Mu picked up a crossbow and handed it to Shen Sui'an.

"This crossbow seems to be much lighter than ordinary ones." Shen Suian weighed the crossbow in his hand and felt that he could control it completely.

Madam Mu nodded, "It has been improved."

Shen Sui'an couldn't help but try it out. Its power was just as good as other bows and crossbows, and its accuracy was even better.

As the two were talking, a beautiful young woman came in from outside, holding a lunch box in her hand, and stood gracefully by the door.

"Aunt, my uncle asked me to bring you some cakes from Shengtian Tower." The young woman's voice was clear and pleasant.

Madam Mu's face darkened completely. "Who allowed you to come in? Get out!"

"Aunt, don't be angry with me. I went to the upper room to look for you just now, and the maid said you were not there. I guessed that you were here." The girl said with a smile, as if she didn't notice the anger on Mrs. Mu's face.

She approached the practice room carrying a lunch box.

call out--

A sharp arrow fell at her feet.

“I told you and your daughter not to enter my territory. If you don’t remember, I can remind you,” Mrs. Mu said coldly.

Shen Sui'an screamed in his heart.

The young girl bit her lip and looked at Shen Suian, as if hoping that Shen Suian would speak for her.

But Shen Sui'an said nothing, just looked at her calmly.

Since Mrs. Mu is called aunt, she must be Mu Baozhu, the daughter of Mu Dasao.

"Aunt, I'll go back first." Mu Baozhu said in a low voice.

Madam Mu turned away with a cold face, and after a moment she slowly said, "I was once pregnant with a daughter, and she was five months pregnant at that time. On the day Mu Baozhu was born, my daughter was gone too."

For so many years, Mrs. Mu has been brooding over it and unable to forgive Mu Chengtian and Mu Dasao, mother and daughter, precisely because of the daughter she did not give birth to.

It was because of this incident that Madam Mu felt guilty towards her, so she stopped caring about worldly affairs and chanted Buddhist scriptures in the house every day.

"Sorry to make you embarrassed, Princess." Madam Mu smiled awkwardly.

She also didn't want the dirty things at home to be seen by outsiders.

But today, Tian's mother and daughter deliberately tried to make themselves known, provoking her anger again and again.

"Mrs. Mu, are you here for me today?" Shen Sui'an asked with a smile.

"You figured it out?" Madam Mu put the crossbow back to its original position and said, "Mu Chengtian came to me yesterday and said he wanted to find a marriage for Baozhu and hoped that I could come forward."

When she heard this, she kicked Mu Chengtian out.

How dare Mu Chengtian bring up the idea of ​​asking her to propose marriage to Mu Baozhu?

Unexpectedly, even though she refused, Tian refused to give up and appeared again and again.

“So, General Mu is planning to take Miss Mu…” Shen Suian raised his eyebrows.

Madam Mu glanced at her and said openly, "Tian wants her daughter to enter the palace, but Mu Chengtian doesn't dare to have such extravagant dreams. He wants Mu Baozhu to be the regent's concubine."

“……”Shen Suian glanced at the bow and arrow nailed to the ground.

Their princess just lost a concubine, and now someone else has set his eyes on the position of concubine.

"Has General Mu mentioned this matter to the Empress Dowager?" Shen Sui'an asked.

The last time they went to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager, she never mentioned it.

Madam Mu: "Of course not, but the Empress Dowager didn't agree."

Shen Sui'an smiled and said, "Regarding entering the palace, that's up to the Queen Mother and the Emperor. As for becoming our prince's concubine, Aunt Mu, the prince is still in mourning."

"I understand." Mrs. Mu would certainly not let Mu Baozhu enter the Regent's Palace.

Don't think that she doesn't know what Tian is planning. She just wants to use her daughter to secure a future for her son, and she also hopes that the general's mansion can be given to her son in the future.

dream!

"Aunt Mu, since the general asked you to find a marriage for Miss Mu, there are so many noble families in this royal capital. If you choose carefully, you should find a suitable one." Shen Sui'an said in a low voice.

Madam Mu: "He said that, but he just wanted me to build a good relationship with you and get some information out of you."

"I will listen to our prince." Shen Suian said with a smile.
