Quick Wear: The Beautiful Tool Man Refuses to Be Cannon Fodder

After passing the throne to the crown prince in front of all the ministers, the emperor died with a smile on his face while sitting on the dragon throne because his health had reached its limit.

Later, the loud funeral bells rang throughout the palace, announcing the emperor's death. Then the whole country mourned for three months, and then, with the recommendation of the ministers, the prince ascended the throne and became Emperor An of Song. After the prince ascended the throne, he first rewarded people according to their merits, then issued a general amnesty, exempted taxes, and added imperial examinations to select talented people. As for those traitors, they were all punished without mercy.

After helping the new emperor to pacify the situation, Gu Yeling, who had already been granted the title of Duke of Zhenguo, immediately explained the situation to the new emperor and then led his Gu family army to kill all the bandits near Huaining County one by one.

Yun originally wanted to go directly to Yun Miao, but then he changed his mind and thought that he had just finished suppressing the bandits, and the evil spirit on his body had not yet dissipated. He was worried that Yun Miao would be scared if he saw him, so he decided to wait until tomorrow to find Yun Miao. Seeing that he was already near Mujia Village, he thought that Mu Yue'er had saved him after all. Although he had worried about the news leaking out before, and had ordered people to secretly send a lot of money over, he still had to go there in person to thank her for saving his life.

When they came to Mujia Village again, the siblings were very happy to see Gu Yeling, but seeing his impressive aura and the stern faces of his followers behind him, Mu Qing'er had a lot of questions to ask him, but she couldn't be as casual as before, so she stood aside and hesitated, not knowing how to start.

Mu Zeyun, who was standing by, looked at them for a long time, as if he had guessed something. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he pretended to take a step forward as before, and deliberately said, "Brother-in-law, someone in the city secretly sent a lot of silver and money before, saying that they were sent by orders. I wonder if it was sent by you, brother-in-law. Also, now that the national mourning is over, I wonder when you and my eldest sister are going to get married!"

Gu Ye Ling, who was instructing his subordinates to move the things in one by one, turned around when he heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then he said in a cold voice: "You accept these things, and it is also to thank you for saving my life. But marriage is a big deal, how can you be so careless, and besides, your elder sister and I are innocent, so don't talk nonsense, lest you tarnish your sister's reputation."

Hearing Gu Yeling's words, Mu Zeyun's expectations were instantly shattered. He had originally guessed that the person in front of him should be the former majestic general who was now the Duke of Zhenguo. If he really married his eldest sister, wouldn't his family be prosperous? Then wouldn't his future path to the imperial examination be straight to the sky?

But what he didn't expect was that Gu Yeling actually denied his statement directly. His original joy was shattered. After the emotional gap, Mu Zeyun couldn't help but said angrily: "I didn't expect that the dignified Duke of Zhenguo would be such an untrustworthy person. You and my eldest sister used to get along day and night and had a close relationship, but now you have turned your face and denied it. You keep telling me not to ruin my eldest sister's reputation. This is simply too much."

Hearing Mu Zeyun's words, Gu Yeling's face completely darkened. He looked at Mu Zeyun sternly, and then said nonchalantly: "You are smart, but you have to use your intelligence in the right place, otherwise it will easily lead to disaster. You saved me, and I am very grateful. However, there are so many ways to repay a favor, but I don't have to repay it with my own lifelong happiness. If you know what's good for you, just accept these thank-you gifts obediently, which will be enough for you to live a rich life for several lifetimes. Of course, if you don't know what's good for you, I don't mind letting you see my methods."

Looking at Gu Ye Ling, who was intimidating without even getting angry, Mu Zeyun realized for the first time that the person in front of him was no longer the Xiao Bai in their memory, but the famous Duke of Zhenguo. Looking at Gu Ye Ling in front of him, Mu Zeyun did not dare to have any opinion even if he was angry.

Seeing Mu Zeyun who dared to be angry but not to speak and completely calmed down, Gu Yeling did not say anything more. He did not care about Mu Zeyun's thoughts. Anyway, he did not dare to make any small moves. Even if he did, it would not cause any trouble.

After saying that, Gu Ye Ling was about to turn around and leave, but when he passed by Mu Qing'er, his sleeve was pulled.

"Xiao...Gu, General Gu." Mu Qing'er was just about to call him Xiaobai, but when she looked into Gu Yeling's cold eyes, she realized deeply that the person in front of her was no longer Xiaobai, so she quickly changed her words.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Mu Qing'er stopping him, Gu Yeling stopped and looked at what she wanted to say because she had saved him before.

"No...well, Ze Yun didn't mean it. He was just too worried about me. He didn't mean any ill intentions. I hope that General Gu, you will be magnanimous and not take it to heart with him." Looking at Gu Ye Ling's cold eyes, Mu Qing'er said in a somewhat hesitant manner.

"Don't worry, I won't take this matter to heart. As long as he behaves himself in the future, I won't do anything more." After saying this, Gu Ye Ling turned around and left.

Watching Gu Yeling turn away, Mu Qing'er knew that he and she were not from the same world after all. As for Mu Zeyun, after traveling through time for so long, Mu Qing'er's sense of superiority as a modern person had long since disappeared. She originally thought that she could kill these ignorant ancient people in seconds with her modern knowledge.

But she didn't expect that the recipes she came up with were popular at first, but the cooking methods of these delicacies were not complicated, and they were copied by everyone in a short time. She underestimated the wisdom of the ancients and did not fully integrate herself into it, always with a sense of superiority as a modern person. Those delicacies didn't taste that good, but they were fresh.

After that, although the bullying butler Wang was gone, Mu Qing'er's business still went downhill, and Mu Qing'er's sense of superiority as a modern person also disappeared. At the same time, she also understood more clearly why people in ancient times were so obsessed with taking the imperial examinations, and therefore they paid so much attention to the only talented younger brother of the Mu family who was qualified to take the examinations, and did not want to ruin his future because of this matter.

Mu Qing'er also believed that even if the Duke of Zhenguo was unwilling to marry her, her younger brother's future path to the imperial examination would be smooth because she had saved him. There was really no need to fall out with the Duke of Zhenguo over this.
