Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 221
Knowing that her daughter was framed by people from both inside and outside, Su Yue wished to kill the Song family's mother and daughter, but for the sake of her daughter's reputation, she could only hold back her breath for the time being, and took her daughter to the capital first, while Xu Mu rode a horse and stood by the carriage on the way.Su Yue didn't know the details, she really thought Xu Mu was just out for fun, she never doubted it.

Zhao Zhao's physical strength has not yet fully recovered, and she lay obediently on her mother's lap, her mind was full of the man's face she saw when she was leaning on Xu Mu's back.In all fairness, Xu Mu looks good, but he is much inferior to the men from the Lu family, but Zhaozhao just can't forget the sweat on Xu Mu's face. She carried herself firmly.

And he is very stupid, honest and easy to bully.

Back at Wu's house, Suyue accompanied her daughter to the boudoir, Xu Mu couldn't go in, and waited in the main room for news of the doctor's diagnosis.

Not long after, Su Yue and Lang Zhong walked over together, and after sending Lang Zhong off, Su Yue said to Xu Mu with emotion: "Amu, Zhao Zhao is safe and sound today, it's all thanks to you, alas, you are an official in the capital, and there is nothing around you." No shortage, I don’t even know what to give to thank you.”

"Sister, you are welcome. We are siblings. The son of the county prince dares to bully Zhao Zhao, but he just doesn't take me seriously." Xu Mu's face became serious, and he solemnly assured: "Sister, don't worry, I will not let Zhao Zhaobai be wronged. Even if he is the prince of the county, I have a way to teach him a lesson."

This is what Su Yue was afraid of, she sighed, shook her head and said: "Amu, listen to me, and pretend that this has never happened. I'm not afraid of causing you trouble, but you have a way to teach them a lesson. In case they jump over the wall and bite you, What should I do if I ruin Zhao Zhao’s reputation? The girl’s family’s reputation is important, forget it, we’ll go see your sister tomorrow, and we’ll go back the day after tomorrow, you listen to me, don’t bother them, you understand?”

The daughter's life experience is always a problem, Su Yue doesn't want to have conflicts with the royal relatives, what if she gets burned?
But Xu Mu's attention was all attracted by what Su Yue said later, and he said in astonishment, "Go back to Tai'an the day after tomorrow?"

Su Yue nodded, getting angry for no reason, if she didn't want to say goodbye to Ning Xiang, she would leave tomorrow.

Xu Mu lost his mind in an instant, and didn't know how he got back to the Hou Mansion.

The next day he sent someone to deliver a message to the palace, and he won't be on errand today, as a celebrity around the prince, it's okay to be lazy occasionally, besides, Xiao Nan doesn't need him to follow at this time.

After breakfast, Xu Mu stayed with his sister, coaxing Brother Wei.

Ningxiang knows that her younger brother likes his sister Suyue, and she is not surprised that her younger brother stays at home and prepares to entertain Suyue with her. Brother Wei is crawling around, and Ningxiang is tired of taking care of her. Now the boy doll is pestering his uncle Yes, Ningxiang is happy to enjoy leisure by the side.After a while, brother Rong and Mao came, and the room became more and more lively.

As the sun rose gradually, the servant girl came to pass the news, and Su Yue and his wife came.

Ning Xiang went out to greet her with a smile, followed by her two sons, and Xu Mu walked beside her holding Brother Wei.

Zhao Zhao also came, leaned close to Ning Xiang, and called Aunt sweetly, her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were watery, as if nothing happened yesterday, and her attitude towards Xu Mu was the same.

Xu Mu's chest felt tight, and his mouth felt like he had eaten bitter melon.But he knows that today is his last chance, Zhao Zhao is already fifteen, if he doesn't make it clear today, maybe Zhao Zhao will talk about marriage when he comes home.So Xu Mu swallowed bitterness and stayed with the two sisters, waiting for the opportunity.

"Auntie, I took Brother Mao to the garden to play. The garden at Auntie's house is the most beautiful, and I'm the most reluctant." Zhao Zhao patted Brother Mao's head and asked the elder with a smile.

"If you like it, stay a few more days." Ning Xiang said lovingly, as much as she loves Guo'er, she likes Zhao Zhao.

Zhao Zhao smiled, and led Mao Geer away, Mao Geer liked to play with his uncle more, turned around before going out, and called his uncle to come with him.

Xu Mu couldn't wish for it, and immediately followed.

In September, the chrysanthemums were in full bloom, and Zhaozhao sat in a nearby pavilion, looking at them pleasing to the eye.

Brother Mao didn't like to enjoy flowers, so he dragged her by the hand to go to play elsewhere, Zhaozhao said distressedly: "My sister is tired, I can't walk anymore."

Mao Geer looked at the beautiful sister aggrievedly, and wanted to play by himself, but he didn't want to leave the guests behind.

"Brother Mao, go, we'll wait for you here, don't be naughty." Xu Mu said suddenly.

Zhao Zhao raised his eyes to look at him, and then looked away.

Xu Mu met her rippling fox eyes, but felt that her thoughts were being seen through, and her heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably.

Mao Geer ran away, and Zhao Zhao's maid, Mao Geer's servants, followed, only a man and a woman remained in the pavilion.

Xu Mu was sitting on the stone bench opposite Zhaozhao. There was no one around him, but he watched furtively.

Zhao Zhao waited for a while, but when he couldn't speak, she stood up suddenly.

"Zhao Zhao..." Xu Mu blurted out impulsively in a hurry.

Zhao Zhao stood sideways to him, and said calmly, "Uncle told me to do something?"

Xu Mu's face was flushed red, and he was speechless.

Zhao Zhao sneered and walked forward.

"I like you." Xu Mu finally plucked up the courage to say it, staring at the girl who was about to walk out of the pavilion with a complicated expression, "Zhao Zhao, I like you, may I go propose marriage to your parents?"

Zhaozhao bowed his head, although he already knew what he was thinking, his face still blushed slowly after hearing what he said.Why didn't this man ask her if she liked him, but instead asked if she could propose marriage?

The little girl's mind was hard to guess, she lowered her head and said nothing, Xu Mu walked around anxiously and looked down at her, "Zhaozhao, I, I really like you, can you stay in the capital for a few more days?"

Zhao Zhao turned around with a blushing face, and interrupted him softly, "But you are my uncle..."

Xu Mu had never coaxed the little girl before, so he didn't understand why she was blushing, but when she heard that she refused because of her seniority, she touched her head and said without confidence: "I, from my brother-in-law's point of view, can also be your brother."

Zhaozhao bit his lips and suppressed a smile, glanced at his figure from the corner of his eye, and said with a slight complaint: "Then you talked to me before, why did you talk about uncle?"

The small hands wrapped around the handkerchief, revealing the delicate state of the daughter's family.

It's a pity that Xu Mu couldn't understand it, and thought she was unhappy, so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, "I, I called it wrong, I won't say that in the future, Zhao Zhao, I'm only five years older than you, from now on you can call me brother ?”

Zhaozhao shook his head, looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and said softly, "I just like to call you uncle."

The little girl was determined not to change her words, Xu Mu had a headache, but she was helpless, she refused to change her words, did it mean that she didn't like him?

Xu Mu had never been so worried before, anxious and worried, looking at her stubborn back, probably because she wanted to marry a wife too much, and finally got smarter, took a step closer, and begged to discuss: "Call me uncle, just call me uncle. Is it okay to call in private? Let’s change our minds in front of the elders, and then I will go to your house to propose marriage? Zhao Zhao, I have liked you since I was a child, and I really want to marry you.”

He was too close, the tall man gave people a sense of oppression for no reason, Zhaozhao was shy, and was afraid of being seen, so he turned to look at him, and looked at him for a while longer this time, making Xu Mu blush Don't open your eyes first, Zhao Zhao burst into a smile, neither agreed nor refused, and ran out of the pavilion cheerfully.

Xu Mu was dumbfounded, staring blankly at her back, what does it mean to laugh?
He also wanted to ask, Zhaozhao didn't give him a chance, stayed with the elders all the time, and returned home with his mother before lunch.

After a break at noon, Xu Mu suffered from insomnia, tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, closed his eyes, his head was full of Zhao Zhao looking at him before he ran away, her eyes were so beautiful, she seemed to be able to speak, but he couldn't understand, only thought she was smiling Sly and charming, naughty, scratching his heart like a feather.

She is leaving tomorrow.

No, he had to ask clearly.

In the afternoon Xu Mu went out again, took a book, and went to Wu's house, only Suyue came out to see him.

"Sister, Zhao Zhao borrowed a book from me. I just found it and brought it to her. Tell her to come out. There is a passage in it that she may not understand. I will explain it to her." Xu Mu lied calmly, This excuse was something he had racked his brains to come up with.

Su Yue looked at the tall and handsome young man in front of her, but her heart was disturbed.

Just now, my daughter just acted like a baby to her, and said she wanted to stay in the capital for a while, but no matter how much she tried to persuade her daughter, she refused to agree, lying on the bed and sulking with her, saying that she would go to ask her father to agree at night, and she didn't like her as a mother anymore.Su Yue was amused and puzzled, now that she saw Xu Mu, Su Yue vaguely guessed it.

"What book, show me." Su Yue calmly took the book in Xu Mu's hand, opened it, it was a travel note.Su Yue pretended to read two pages, and said with a smile: "I've read this book, Zhao Zhao just fell asleep, Amu, you go back, I'll tell her what she doesn't understand, I'm sorry to trouble you to make a special trip."

Xu Mu froze again, unable to believe that the excuses he had tried so hard to make up were useless at all.When Su Yue saw that he was about to panic, she knew that she guessed right, the two children really fell in love with each other.

Suyue really didn't expect her daughter to fall in love with Xu Mu, she is quite suitable for Xu Mu's siblings, but this is not a problem, Xiao Nanguo's children are all together, Suyue is not so rigid in the world.But she did not dare to promise the children, she did not dare to let her daughter get too close to the royal family.

Just about to pretend to be confused and persuade Xu Mu to leave, Xu Mu suddenly knelt down, raised his head and begged: "Sister, I like Zhaozhao, I lied, Zhaozhao didn't borrow books from me, I just wanted to come and see her, and asked her if she would like to Willing to marry me. Sister, you were kind to me when I was young, and I sincerely treat you as my sister, but I also really like Zhaozhao, can you help me?"

Su Yue moved her mouth, but looking at the child she grew up with, Su Yue couldn't be cruel.

At least, she had to let Xu Mu understand why she refused.

Su Yue took Xu Mu to the study room, and asked her confidant maid to watch outside. She spoke to Xu Mu in a low voice, but she didn't believe others, but she trusted Xu Mu, and finally persuaded: "Amu, this matter concerns Zhao Zhao's safety. , I even lied to your sister and brother-in-law, except for us and my husband, only you know, do you understand now? Better forget about Zhaozhao and find another girl who likes you."

Su Yue couldn't let go of this old secret, but Xu Mu didn't feel afraid when she heard it. She just felt sorry for Su Yue and even more for Zhao Zhao.

"Then I won't be an official anymore." Xu Mu looked directly into Su Yue's eyes, "Sister, I was originally a farmer, but I don't really like life in the capital either, because my sister and the others are here, so I stayed in the palace. day……"

"Shut up, if you dare to resign, I will not agree, and I will look down on you." Su Yue interrupted his stupid words sharply, really angry.

Xiao Nan is a crown prince with royal blood, no matter how well he behaved after entering the palace, both Su Yue and Ning Xiang felt that it should be taken for granted.What the two of them are most proud of is Xu Mu, a child from a farming family. Now he is very skilled, even more capable than the children of the aristocratic family. Xu Mu is really giving up his bright future for his daughter, and Su Yue is the first to blame himself.

He was not allowed to resign and did not worry about marrying Zhaozhao to him. Xu Mu couldn't think of any other way, so he went to Suyue's side and begged with a blushing face: "Sister, it's been so many years, no one will pursue it." , will you promise me?"

Su Yue's love for Xu Mu is no less than that of Ning Xiang, but she is more cruel than Ning Xiang, she turns her head and chases away in a cold voice.

Xu Mujun's face turned pale instantly, and his heart was ashamed.
