Mu Yingran's eyes were scarlet and she was speechless for a long time. Mu Sirong confronted her, and the two brothers and sisters stood face to face in front of each other.
For a long time, just when everyone thought Mu Yingran had given up on compromise, they heard her tremblingly say: "Then I don't want to be Miss Mu."
"What did you say?" Mu Sirong squinted her eyes and looked gloomy.
"I said," Mu Yingran said with tears in her eyes, "I don't want this identity anymore, I don't want it anymore!"
After that, he pushed away the person in front of him and ran out.
Mu Lenghan was furious: "I didn't stop her! Let her go! I don't have such a disappointing daughter!"
Mu Yingran heard what he said just in time, paused for a moment, and then ran out without looking back.
Shen Miaomiao: "Father."
Mu Lenghan said with a stern face: "Don't worry about her, she will suffer the consequences!"
Shen Miaomiao pursed her lips.
Mu Sirong suddenly hummed and staggered slightly. Shen Miaomiao was startled and immediately supported him: "What's wrong with you?"
Mu Sirong was helped to sit down, rubbed her temples, and shook her head slightly.
"It's okay."
Shen Miaomiao frowned: "You have a headache again?"
Mu Lenghan sighed: "Miaomiao, it's really noisy today. You should go back and have a good rest first, and take good care of Sirong."
"Well, father and mother, don't worry too much. When Yingran comes back, I will have a good talk with her."
Li Ran: "Thank you for your hard work, Miaomiao."
Shen Miaomiao bowed slightly and helped Mu Sirong to retreat.
After returning to the room, Shen Miaomiao immediately asked someone to bring the medicine, and then asked the maid to bring tea, snacks and some soothing incense to her father and others.
"How are you?"
Mu Sirong patted her hand and reassured: "It's okay, don't worry."
This reassurance has no effect, and I am still worried.
"It's really okay, it just shook a little bit."
Shen Miaomiao: "You can't do this. You must see a doctor. Don't refuse. If you don't think about yourself and me and your family, what should we do if something happens to you?"
Mu Sirong compromised and said, "Okay, okay, listen to my wife."
"That's pretty much it," Shen Miaomiao thought of something, "By the way, Yingran..."
Mu Sirong frowned slightly: "I don't want to mention her."
Shen Miaomiao sighed: "Hey, don't be like this, Yingran, she doesn't understand anything, but she knows you do her best, just explain things clearly to her."
"Oh, this girl is obsessed with ghosts now. You can talk about generalists. Listen to what she said today. She made her father very angry today."
"Okay, no matter what, don't hit her. If she hates you because of this..."
"It's okay," Mu Sirong said nonchalantly, "She's used to it and can't bear to do it."
Shen Miaomiao: "..."
Are you...brothers and sisters?
Shen Miaomiao lit the soothing incense and let Mu Sirong sleep for a while, then she went out to stay with Mu Lenghan and the others.
Mu Yingran was walking aimlessly, and without paying attention, she bumped into someone head-on.
"...Lu Qing?"
Lu Qing looked at her with a smile. Mu Yingran burst into tears instantly and threw herself into Lu Qing's arms, sobbing.
Lu Qing hugged her and patted her back from time to time to comfort her, but his expression made it difficult to guess what he was thinking.
"It's okay. I'm sorry. I didn't think carefully."
Mu Yingran immediately shook her head and said: "That's not the case. I know you did this for the future of both of us. I don't blame you."
"But you are still wronged."
"No, really not, it's just... Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. I apologize to Mr. Lu on behalf of my brother and my father."
Lu Qing smiled and helped her wipe away her tears: "My father won't mind. Why, is it because if you marry into our family in the future, my father will make things difficult for you? Then don't worry, he still has this kind of tolerance.
"
Mu Yingran blushed at what he said, hit him lightly, and said coquettishly: "I hate it!"
Lu Qing laughed loudly, then grabbed her shoulders and said seriously: "Yingran, actually I also know that our family's behavior today is a bit abrupt, but I really don't want to wait any longer, and I don't want to wrong you anymore.
I want to marry you as my wife, I will only love you for the rest of my life, and I will live up to you for the rest of my life, please believe me."
Mu Yingran sniffed.
"Then let me ask you a question, and you need to answer me honestly."
Lu Qing nodded: "Ask."
Mu Yingran said: "Did you ask Shen Yuan to steal my brother's secret army token?"
Lu Qing let her go, was silent for a moment, and nodded.
"Why?"
Is it true, as my brother said, that you only dated me because of my identity?
Lu Qing said: "Do you know what General Mu's secret army token is?"
Mu Yingran frowned slightly and said, "Isn't it the command token of the Mu family army?"
Lu Qing shook his head: "No, it's not the Mu Jiajun. Yingran, think about it carefully. Do I need to let people steal the Mu Jiajun's command token? Compared with that token, the Mu Jiajun only recognizes
Mu family, you should know this."
Mu Yingran nodded slightly. The existence of the Mu family army was a privilege given to the Mu family by the late emperor.
"That token ordered another private army, which is evidence of a conspiracy to rebel."
Mu Yingran looked incredulous: "What are you talking about?"
"They have a name called Ye Linwei. They are the secret army raised privately by Li Chengyu and your brother. They have existed for many years. Yingran, do you know that if this matter is leaked and reaches the ears of the emperor,
What kind of disaster will your family and Li Chengyu have to endure?"
Mu Yingran couldn't help but take two steps back. How could that happen?
"When I found out, I wanted to talk to General Mu and Prince Yu, but they were stubborn and refused to listen to my advice. What could I do? The only way to prevent this uncertain disaster was to take this step to get rid of these people.
"
Mu Yingran's mind was confused and the whole thing was a mess. Lu Qing helped her in time to prevent her from falling.
"How could this happen..." Mu Yingran murmured.
"So Yingran, I ask you to believe me. Everything I do is for the Mu family, and especially for you."
"I, I believe you, I believe you... But, why are my brothers so confused, how could they do such a thing..." Mu Yingran suddenly grabbed Lu Qing's arm, "No, Lu Qing
, My brother and the others can't possibly rebel, they, even so, won't rebel! I can swear, they won't..."
"I know, but Yingran, you have to know that if this matter is really leaked, no one will listen to it."
Lu Qing hugged her: "The reason why General Mu doesn't let you be with me is not just because of the military power and some wrong decisions. Military power is assigned by the emperor. Who can improperly decide the victory or defeat on the battlefield?"
You can tell it accurately, so you should know the biggest reason."
Mu Yingran slowly hugged him tightly, with tears on her face: "My brother and my royal cousin, I can't ignore them."
Lu Qing evoked a smile: "Okay."
It was already very late when Mu Yingran came back. As soon as she entered the boudoir, she found Shen Miaomiao waiting for her.
"sister in law."
Shen Miaomiao: "Well, have you eaten so late?"
Mu Yingran shook her head: "Not yet."
"Just in time, I made some wontons for you. They're still hot. Come over and eat them."
As Shen Miaomiao spoke, she stood up and pushed Mu Yingran to sit down.
Mu Yingran sat down, lowered her head and ate wontons.
"Have you spent half a day searching for a clear path?"
Mu Yingran paused slightly, then nodded.
Shen Miaomiao held her chin with one hand and looked at her with interest: "Yingran, you seem to really like Lu Qing?"
Mu Yingran put down the spoon in her hand, straightened up, and nodded solemnly.
"I really like him. For so many years, I have not married, but he has been waiting for me. Sister-in-law, you should understand this kind of feeling, right?"
Shen Miaomiao nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I understand you very well. So, Yingran, I really understand you."
After saying that, Shen Miaomiao sighed again and said: "But you know, I have been willing to wait for so many years because I am really sure that the person your brother loves is me."
Shen Miaomiao had bet her whole life. She didn't firmly believe that this person loved him. She never thought that Mu Sirong would not like her, never for a moment.
"But do you really think that Lu Qing really likes you that much?"
Just as Mu Yingran was about to speak, Shen Miaomiao continued: "If he really liked you, why did he make you wait for so long? Your brother was because of the national war, and what about him?"
Mu Yingran said without thinking: "Isn't he here now? Besides, it was because you were prejudiced against him at that time. The time was not right and he had no choice..."
"Then why is it suitable now? Your brother and father still don't have any good impression of their Bei'an Marquis." Shen Miaomiao retorted in a gentle tone and unhurriedly.
"That, that's because..."
"Because of what?" Shen Miaomiao chuckled and said slowly, "Because, when your relationship deepened, Chengyu was not in the capital."
"What does this have to do with him?"
Shen Miaomiao sighed and said nothing, just looking at her with a gentle expression.
In the end, Shen Miaomiao didn't persuade her, she just stood up and patted Mu Yingran on the shoulder.
"Ying Ran, do you really not know why?" After saying that, Shen Miaomiao said nothing more and just said, "Your brother is still waiting for me in the room, go to bed early."
"My brother," Mu Yingran called her, "I heard from the servants in the mansion... is he okay?"
Shen Miaomiao paused, turned to look at her, and chuckled: "It's okay. He really didn't mean to attack you today. Don't blame him."
Mu Yingran waved her hands indifferently: "Hey, he's fine. As for me? Hey, I've already gotten used to it!"
Shen Miaomiao: "..."
"Well," Shen Miaomiao finally asked what she wanted to ask, "did your brother, who wanted you for yourself, often attack you before?"
In this case, I really sympathize with Ying Ran! Mu Sirong is a big bandit at heart!
"Him? Heh, he doesn't usually do that. He only bullies me when I'm practicing martial arts. Sister-in-law, do you know that when I asked him to practice martial arts with me, he abused me so hard! I remember one time, when I was finishing, I used the hilt of my sword I didn't catch it and flew out. As a result, he was in trouble and called me back directly. He slapped me in the face! It still hurts when I think about it now!"
