Chapter 61 The Usefulness of Girls
The whole family was called to the hall to wait for Mu Yongnian's news. Mrs. Wang arranged for Mu Yanran and ordered Nanny Zhang and Huang Ling to watch over her. She brought Begonia and sat in the hall to wait for the news.

Time passed bit by bit, seeing the sky getting darker bit by bit, Mrs. Mu didn't intend to pass on the dinner at all, she just glanced at Mu Shuyao as if nothing, but saw her calm face, With an appearance of staying out of the matter, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

"Shuyao, what do you think of the imperial decree?" Mrs. Mu couldn't help asking.

Mu Shuyao smiled lightly: "Grandmother, Shuyao is just a girl in her boudoir, how dare she speak arbitrarily about the decision of the Holy Majesty."

"What are you pretending to be? The marriage contract was originally made for you by your deceased biological mother, but now it will implicate my family..." Madam Wang said angrily.

"Shuyao was confused by what mother said. When the imperial edict came to announce the decree, it was clearly stated that the daughter of the Mu family had a marriage contract with General Zhen Guo. Many people have heard this with their own ears. Besides, the emperor is so coincidental. Could it be that Shuyao misunderstood something?" Mu Shuyao's eyes flashed coldly, but she said cautiously.

"I'm dead, I'm dead, woo woo woo..." Just as she was talking, Mu Yanran rushed in from the outside wearing only a coat, plunged into Mrs. Wang's arms, and cried: "Mother, daughter Don't marry that useless person, if the mother insists on her daughter marrying, the daughter would rather die... woo woo woo..."

Looking at Mu Yanran who was crying into tears, Mu Shuyao sneered, "Do you want to marry?"If you know that Chu Yuchen is just pretending, let's see if you will swear to die!Apart from not being able to inherit that position, he is more favored by the emperor than any other prince!
Just at this time, the boy came to report that the master was back.

"However, you go back first, look at your disheveled clothes." Mrs. Wang persuaded softly: "Even if you want to hear the result, you have to go back and wash up first. How decent is your appearance for your father to see."

"No, my daughter won't leave!" Mu Yanran also knew that she had been provoked too much, and she was playing a rogue.

Mrs. Wang was about to speak, when Mrs. Mu said: "Forget it, let her stay. There are no outsiders in the left and right families. Huang Ling, put a cloak on your young lady. You really can't see people like this."

After hearing this, Huang Ling immediately wrapped Mu Yanran up with the cloak in her hand.

After doing all this, Mu Yongnian came in in a hurry, he was still wearing the clothes he had worn for Mu Yanran's visit and ceremony during the day, it could be seen that he was really in a hurry this time.

Mu Yongnian had met the old lady first, so he sat down on the side. Before he could have a sip of tea, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "How is it? Will the emperor take back his order?"

A hint of impatience flashed in Mu Yongnian's eyes, but she was noticed by Aunt Qiu, who had been paying attention to her. She hurriedly brought the tea with a smile, and while pinching Mu Yongnian's shoulders, she said, "Ma'am, what are you in a hurry for? The master is not coming back. Is it? Can't you give him a drink of water first?"

Mrs. Mu couldn't get used to such Aunt Qiu, and wanted to reprimand her, but she saw that her son was really tired.

After receiving the imperial decree in the afternoon, he rushed into the palace without even caring about changing his clothes. By this time, he didn't know if he had had dinner, and he was still full of fatigue at this time.

I can't help but feel a little resentful towards Mrs. Wang, you said why are you so blind, no matter how impatient you are, it's not too late, Qiu Shi has a good saying, isn't Yongnian already back!No matter what news he brings back, it is impossible to change it for the time being, so why not let him rest for a while.

But Mrs. Wang obviously didn't think so. When she heard Aunt Qiu contradicting her, the old lady didn't even utter a word of criticism, and she immediately felt dissatisfied: "Aunt Qiu, you don't have a place to talk here, why don't you get out of here!"

"Master—" Aunt Qiu called out unyieldingly, but a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, and then disappeared, and she said according to Mu Yongnian: "I am also concerned about the master, there is no other meaning."

Mu Yongnian patted her hand: "I know, Madam is also impatient, don't take it to heart."

Then he looked at the old lady and said: "Just now when my son went to meet the saint, before he mentioned the marriage contract, the emperor said that he will promote his son to the right minister in the next year, so that he can be more diligent in his work."

"Then what? Then what did the emperor say?" Mrs. Wang said anxiously, "Could it be that the master is going to trade Ran'er's life for your official career?" At this time, her emotions were a little out of control, and her voice became sharp.

Mu Yongnian was agitated again after hearing this, turned his head and said coldly: "Then what do you want me to do? Will you resist the emperor's order in front of the emperor? Do you think the emperor's order can be changed if you change it?"

Mrs. Mu heard that the emperor personally promised to promote her son's official position. Although it was already a tacit agreement among the people in the court, but in the end, the emperor did not express his position, so she couldn't count it. Now the emperor has given a specific time. The son The matter is already a certainty.

As for Yanran's marriage, she didn't care much about it. In her opinion, the only use of a girl is to bring benefits to the family. There are more than one daughter in her family, and it's nothing to sacrifice one of her marriages. I think it's a pity to use Ran the girl, but it's the emperor's fate.

After all, what the old lady cares most about is her son's official career. Compared with her son, her granddaughter is nothing worth mentioning.

"Daddy, don't you usually love your daughter the most? You just have the heart to marry your daughter into the general's mansion to serve a useless man?"

"What nonsense!" Mu Yongnian looked at his daughter who was kneeling in front of him, crying pear blossoms with rain, and reprimanded loudly: "Look at your current appearance, if outsiders look at you, your reputation as a young lady will be ruined." Do you want more?"

Then he turned to Mrs. Wang: "Is this how you taught your daughter? Why don't you take her back to the house?"

Hearing her father who always doted on her reprimanded herself like this, Mu Yanran couldn't control her emotions, and couldn't help but yelled at Mu Yongnian: "I won't marry, and I won't marry when I die. If you force me again, I will Just kill yourself, and see how you explain to the emperor when the time comes..."

"It's reversed!" Mu Yongnian slapped the table and shouted, "Come here, don't take the eldest lady down!"

Seeing that her daughter was going to suffer, Mrs. Wang hugged her quickly, and persuaded her softly: "But don't worry, you should know in your heart how your father treats you on weekdays, don't talk to your father so loudly, first Go back to sleep and everything will be fine when you wake up."

She knew that she couldn't provoke Mu Yongnian now, otherwise he might just send Ran'er out like this, so she winked at Nanny Zhang and the others and asked them to help her bring Mu Yanran back to her own yard.
