Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Bai Xianxian's voice was filled with grievance: "Master, you hate me so much that you don't even want to tell me my name. Are you in such a hurry to go back? I just want to thank you, wuwu..."

When Mo Lin heard her crying, he felt overwhelmed. She didn't cry even when someone held a knife to her.

I thought secretly in my heart that I should tell my mother to help me choose a girl. Don't choose one that is weak or cries all the time. It would be so annoying to coax her every day. How can I live my life?

Why can't she learn from the princess? If she is unhappy, just eat a meal and she will be fine. There is no use crying. She won't come out again in the future. That guy named Liu is a jerk.

Mo Lin said sternly, "I told you that you don't need to thank me. Besides, you said your name willingly, not me. Now, it's not wrong for me not to tell you my name."

"I suddenly remembered that I still have some old hens at home that I haven't fed yet. I'm leaving now and we'll see each other some other day if we're lucky enough."

The whole person flew out, and his back looked a bit like he was fleeing in a panic. He disappeared in an instant. Bai Xianxian, who saw this scene, was so angry that she felt upset. How could he do this to her?

Bai Xianxian has never been treated like this in front of any other man. This is really too much. Just wait, she won't let it go. Ahhhh, it's so infuriating.

Mo Lin rushed all the way back home, patted his chest, and let out a long breath: "Huhu, I finally got rid of it. It's really annoying. Delicate women are the most annoying."

"You can't talk to her, you can't touch her, she cries at the slightest provocation, it's as scary as a flood."

There was a light cough behind me.

Mo Lin was so frightened that he trembled in his heart. He turned around and looked over, saying helplessly: "Mom, why are you standing behind me without making a sound? It's so scary."

Qiao Shu said angrily, "What did you do when you went out? You feel so guilty. Did you get into trouble? Tell the truth, or I will write a letter to your brother and you will be punished."

"No, no, mom, I'm telling you, it's not a big deal, just a small matter, let's go inside and talk about it, it's not appropriate to stand here at the door."

"Okay, let's go in and talk. If you say you can't go, you just wait for me."

Mo Lin followed her with a bitter face and told her the whole story in detail. He thought he would be scolded, but his mother actually praised him.

Qiao Shu clapped her hands, looking very happy, she stood on tiptoe and patted his face, smiling and said: "Oh, my son has really grown up, and now he has a brain. If the ancestors knew, they would definitely praise you."

"…Hmm? Why?"

"Humph, it's obvious that today's plot is a conspiracy, and that woman in white is not a good person either. Fortunately, you listened to Jue'er and were able to avoid her and not let her get close to you."

"If she pounces on you and slanders you to destroy her innocence, then you will marry her back. It is obvious that she is not a peaceful person and is not suitable to marry into the Mo family."

Mo Lin scratched his head. "Oh, I don't quite understand. Anyway, it's okay as long as it's alright. Mom, I want to go back and rest. Please don't tell anyone about this. I'm afraid my brother will say I'm stupid when he comes back."

Qiao Shu rolled her eyes at him. He was indeed stupid, but that was not his strong point. Being obedient was a good thing so that he wouldn't be schemed against. That woman needed to be investigated carefully to find out what was going on.

If it's good, then let's forget about it. If it's bad, hmm, let's just give it a good beating first.

Before she could check on the woman, an invitation came from the palace, asking them to attend a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet in two days. By the way, invitations were also sent to the noble ladies of various aristocratic families.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shu immediately burst into smiles, thinking that she is worthy of being the queen, so considerate. Knowing that her second son is not married, she directly holds a chrysanthemum-viewing banquet to create some opportunities.

Holding the invitation, he excitedly went to the backyard to look for Mo Lin. However, after looking around, he couldn't find any trace of him. After asking, he found out that he had gone to the martial arts training ground outside the city.

After saying a few words, he turned around and went back to his own yard.

It was not until dark that Mo Lin came back, carrying cakes in his hands, and walked towards Qingyouyuan, the courtyard where his mother lived.

Before I went in, a loud voice called out, "Mom, my son is back. What do you want from me?"

Qiao Shu heard the voice and came out of the house. Seeing him coming back, she waved, "Come here with your mother. I have good news to tell you. If everything goes well this time, you don't have to worry about your daughter-in-law."

Mo Lin was confused. After walking into the house, he put the cakes on the table and said softly, "Mom, this is what our ancestors liked to eat, Zhang's rice cakes. They just came out of the pot and are still hot."

"I remember you like to eat it, too. You can each have one. Can the old man help me deliver it? I am sweating so much that it is not appropriate for me to go. If I go after I take a shower, the old man will probably be asleep."

"Yes, I'll go and take a look at the invitation. In two days, the Queen will hold a chrysanthemum viewing banquet. You can come with me then and take a look to see if there is any girl you like."

Seeing him in a daze, Qiao Shu kicked him and said, "Did you hear me? Remember the date and get up early. Don't be late. That's too rude."

Mo Lin was not interested. Every time, it was his brother who went to such banquets. He had never been to one and thought it was just about eating, drinking, reciting poems and composing couplets. He was not good at those things and if he went, he would just watch and not understand.

"Mom, how can I not go? They talk in circles, I don't understand them, and I don't know how to recite poems or compose couplets. If I go, I will just sit there and do nothing. It's so boring."

"It would be more fun to go to the martial arts training ground and have some fun."

Qiao Shu narrowed her eyes when she heard this, and looked at him with a dangerous look in her eyes: "Say it again, if you don't go, I'll twist your head off and you won't even be able to bring back a daughter-in-law. What the hell are you complaining about?"

Mo Lin subconsciously shrank his head: "Mom, why are you swearing again? You used to be a noble lady from an aristocratic family and never sweared."

"Nonsense, that's not what your father brought. He brought back those foul words from the general. I am...kind of like a bastard. It's all your father's fault. No, why are you talking so much?"

"Son, son, no, mother, please continue and I will listen."

Qiao Shu looked him up and down and clapped her hands, "Cuiwei, come in. Send someone to the mansion tomorrow to make new clothes for the second young master."

"Yes, ma'am."

Mo Lin looked down and said, "No need. My clothes are all good and can be worn without holes. It's not a festival, so there's no need to make new clothes."

He can do it, but the question is whose money to spend. He really has no money in his pocket, as it was all taken away by his eldest brother. The little money left was almost spent on treating people to dinner last time.

Qiao Shu took a quick look and understood: "Okay, I'll make it for you, so you don't have to pay, but..."

When he showed a happy expression, she added: "Forget it, I'm just teasing you. I really don't want your money. You are born by my mother, and making clothes for you is just a small thing."

"Okay, go back and take a shower. You're all stinky and sweaty."

"Yes, my son is back."
