Chapter 103
Xushang Shu from the military? Brother? General?
Murong Rou was stunned as she heard those keywords. She recalled this man before her.,
His name was Xuwen, he was thirty-six years old, his wife pa.s.sed away when she was young,
and currently he has a son.
He had no skills and he spent huge amount of money to bribe the internal people to get this
general position. He was always dreaming of marrying pretty young girls. The n.o.blemen and
rich men who heard this would laugh and mock him. Even she had always regard him as a
laughing stock. Who knew she would hear this sentence for herself today? This was
hilarious!
Xuwen saw that she was speechless and that her eyes held trace of mockery. He was
furious! "What are you sn.i.g.g.e.ring at?"
Murong Rou composed herself and replied, "Xu Dian s.h.i.+, you are nearly forty. You should
find an innocent woman to be your wife." The girls of Qing Yuan tended to marry at a young
age, those girls below twenty were either wives of others or widows. He would not like
these two types of girls…
"Didn't Taipu s.h.i.+ marry a pretty young girl last month?" His age was almost the same as
Taipu s.h.i.+; if he could marry that girl then so could he!
Murong Rou laughed a little, "He is the highest ranked general and his status is precious.Of
course people are pus.h.i.+ng their young daughters to him. As for you? General, you're not
skilled – and people would never look at you if you were thrown into the crowd…"
Not even the peasants' daughters would want him.
As the saying goes, old cow ate fresh gra.s.s. It was not that he could not do so, but not every
old cow had the right to eat fresh gra.s.s.
Xuwen glared at Murong Rou, "This Miss… I'm here to do business with you, not to listen to you mock me. If you think my request was too much, then please leave!"
"I'll leave in that case. Xu Dian s.h.i.+, see you again." Murong Rou said nonchalantly. She stood
up and walked out without second glance.
That lousy general was nothing to her. The military camp was a few miles away from Wu An
Manor, and since he did not know who was she, there was no need for her to worry.
Xuwen threw the tea cup on the floor furiously as he saw her walking away, the cup
shattering into pieces with a loud 'pang'!
He glared at Murong Rou angrily. Her outfit was elegant and, her aura was strong; he was
certain that she was the lady
She had heard about her mother getting out of jail so she was just about to visit her in Wu
An Manor, She had no idea she would see her mother in Zhen Manor.
Murong Rou smiled gently and patted her shoulders, "I'm back. I won't let you be bullied
ever again."
Song Qingyan wiped her tears and nodded, "I knew it. You love me the most!"
Murong Rou smiled warmly and nudged Song Qingyan's collar. Just then, she noticed a
white bandage underneath her high collar. The bandage gave off a medicinal scent. She
narrowed her eyes and enquired, "Qingyan, how did you injure yourself?"
Song Qingyan straightened up and looked down at her bandage, "It was all because of that
Murong Xue. She threw a hot bowl of soup on my body…"
Murong Rou exclaimed worriedly, "Then this will leave a scar?"
"No, it won't. The doctor told me that as it was treated immediately, as long as I take my
medicines on time and stay home for three months, my wounds will heal completely
without leaving any scar." Song Qingyan smiled in delight.
"Then that's fine." Murong Rou sighed in relief. A porcelain and clear skin was the first
crucial step for women to gain their husband's attention and care. Men would leave their
wives if there was a scar on her body.
The sound of horses trotting could be heard. Murong Rou raised her head and saw Ou Yang
riding a fast horse, carrying Murong Xue to the main gate of Zhen Manor.
Murong Xue climbed down from the horse's back with a swift move, then she looked up at
Ou Yang, "I have an important matter today so I can't invite you in for tea. I'll repay you
another day."
"Alright" Ou Yang nodded and smiled at her, "If you want to know where 'they' are, come
over to Xiao Yao Manor and look for me."
"I got it." Murong Xue nodded, "It's getting late. You should quickly go back now. Be safe on
the road."
"I will" Ou Yang chuckled as he listened to her, then he turned his horse and sped forward to
Xiao Yao Manor.
As the horse made its turn and disappeared from sight, Murong Xue turned around and
noticed Murong Rou and her daughter…
