After the divorce, the queen mother was pampered by powerful ministers

"But I guess, there is also an ancient acacia tree here. Could it be that you mentioned to Master Sima in Yunqi Academy today, that the mysterious boy who saved the former empress dowager and the king of the town was buried after his death? where?" Chu Muchen said calmly, but a trace of deep emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Yes." Su Wunian knew that Chu Muchen had recognized her identity a long time ago, and she did not deny it, "After the former Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she secretly arranged for someone to bury the body of the mysterious boy under this tree. It was never mentioned to anyone again.”

"So much so that he doesn't even have a tombstone."

"Tell me, will the former empress dowager feel guilty?" Su Wunian asked this sentence, feeling sad and testing Chu Muchen.

"I guess, if the unofficial history you read is true, then the former empress dowager might." Chu Muchen's eyes darkened, "Actually, from the perspective of the mysterious boy, he might be proud of it." .”

"Or, he thinks that his destiny has been fulfilled, and he protected the person he wanted to protect. If he wanted to leave his name behind, he would definitely tell the first empress dowager before he died, but he didn't. This is his choice."

"She didn't want the empress dowager to know his name, his identity, and she didn't even want the empress dowager to remember him."

"He doesn't want to?" Su Wunian never thought about this, but Chu Muchen seemed to be right in his analysis. If the young man wanted her to know his name, he would have countless opportunities on the way back to the imperial capital.

Chu Muchen continued to pull the weeds on the mound, "Since ancient times, a general has achieved great success, and if he wants to achieve great achievements, there must be countless unknown people behind him."

"Those unsung heroes cannot have a name in life, even after death."

Su Wunian raised her eyes to look at the mound of dirt beside her, "Why doesn't he want to?" Could it be because he is from Nanchen Kingdom, and he doesn't want his people to know that he betrayed Nanchen Kingdom.

This seems to make sense.Su Wunian's guilt towards the mysterious and nameless boy seemed to be relieved in an instant.

But why did he save himself?
The answer, perhaps only he himself knows.

Su Wu remembered his previous life, and tried his best to find out his past and name, but this person seemed to appear out of nowhere, like a dandelion blown away by a strong wind, rootless and swaying, unable to find its source.

"There are some pasts and some secrets that should be buried forever if they are brought into the soil." Chu Muchen pulled another handful of weeds and threw them aside, the corner of his mouth seemed to twitch in mockery.

Su Wunian turned around and got into the carriage, brought a jug of good wine from the carriage, and poured the mellow wine on the ground facing the mound of weeds that had been pulled out. There was a "click" sound, and her red lips parted slightly, " No matter who you are, you saved my cousin, and my cousin later saved me, so forget it, you are also my savior."

"This glass of wine is many years late, to my savior."

"Although, I don't know who you are, but thank you for protecting me all the way, thank you." On her cold and handsome face, there was a rare solemn and serious expression in this life.

Facing the mound of dirt, Chu Muchen solemnly said, "Thank you for saving my wife."

So, he also poured a glass of wine and poured it on the ground, "To the unknown hero." But there was an imperceptible smirk on the corner of his mouth.

When she turned and left the silk tree, Su Wunian was relieved. Although she didn't know his name, the guilt towards him in her heart disappeared.

As Chu Muchen said, he fulfilled his destiny, and she came to thank him personally.From now on, she has nothing but gratitude to him and no guilt.

General's House.

Chu Mu's resignation subsided, and he didn't dare to provoke Shen Shengge anymore. Every time Xiao Yuanyu thought of those nightmares and the nonsense of that crazy Taoist priest, he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

After thinking about it, he put his mind on Shen Mengli, who is well-versed in knowledge.

Today, she invited Shen Mengli to the mansion mainly to test whether Shen Mengli would marry into the general's mansion and be Chen'er's noble concubine.

After all, Shen Mengli's various conditions are excellent, and if he marries into a famous family, he must be the regular wife and the future head of the house.Since she is destined to be the head of the house in the future, who wants to be an embarrassing concubine?

But who let Chen'er be born with a peerless good skin, the women in the imperial capital are crazy about him, there must be some people who are willing to give up the position of main wife and marry into the general as a concubine.

"Your eldest sister is not in the mansion today, so there is no need to go to see her in her courtyard." Xiao Yuanyu smiled gently, and took Shen Mengli's hand, "Today, you can accompany me well."

Shen Mengli nodded obediently, and replied softly: "Here."

"The last time I came to the mansion, when I encountered those things, I couldn't talk to you properly."

"What you saw that day, did you tell your family when you went back?" Xiao Yuanyu asked again.

"Never. Grandmother has taught since childhood that the sisters of the Shen family should not talk about each other indiscriminately. If one is prosperous, the other is prosperous, and if one is hurt, the other is damaged." The scandal about Shen Shengge does not need to be spread through her mouth, it has been heard by the Shen family.

If you spread the word by yourself, wouldn't you become a villain who instigates and splashes dirty water behind your back?She, Shen Mengli, would never do anything that would destroy her image.

"Well, good boy." Xiao Yuanyu Huagui patted the back of Shen Mengli's hand a few times, and pulled her into the room.

In the room, Madam Su opened all the picture scrolls, unfolded the pictures hanging on the easel one by one, and looked carefully, all of them were pictures of beauties with moving poses, and the beauties' names were written beside them.

Xiao Yuanyu led Shen Mengli to the pictures of beauties, looked at them one by one, and praised a few words from time to time, "This daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is dignified and elegant, and she must be Chen'er's good helper when she enters the mansion."

Shen Mengli let out a "thud" in his heart, and was full of doubts at first, why are there so many pictures of beauties in the study of His Royal Highness the Great Princess, all of whom are unmarried daughters of famous families in the imperial capital?As soon as these words came out, my heart was like a mirror.

Her Royal Highness Princess Dachang planned to choose another one for the eldest son of Chu, and she was secretly happy, but when she looked at it, there was no portrait of herself, so she couldn't help but feel a little bit disappointed and anxious.

Here and now, Shen Mengli can of course pretend that she doesn't care, but she can't pretend, and even inadvertently reveal her daughter's family's little thoughts, deliberately letting His Highness the Eldest Princess notice.

Sure enough, all of her loss and anxiety fell into the eyes of Xiao Yuanyu and Madam Su.The two looked at each other, and they understood Shen Mengli's care clearly.

"Mengli, even though you are Shen Shengge's younger sister, I don't plan to keep it from you."

"Your Majesty bestows a marriage, and you can't resist the order, but I don't like your eldest sister, so I thought about finding another good wife for Chen'er."

"Ci'er has a straightforward personality. Most of the daughters' families in the imperial capital that I know come from the families of generals, and they use knives and guns at every turn. Shen Shengge has been taught very well by Chen'er. I don't want to find someone else to come with Shen Shengge. Hit every day-"

"Discuss martial arts."

"I want to find a gentle personality, knowledgeable and courteous." As he spoke, he took Shen Mengli's hand affectionately, "It is best, a kind and generous woman like you, who is both good in character and learning."

Have a nice weekend~
