The general's wife knows medicine

Tang Peipei hurried to the general's mansion.

This was Tang Peipei's second time coming to the general's mansion. With the experience from last time, the guards at the door had also been reminded.

When Tang Peipei arrived, she was directly allowed into the general's mansion.

At this time, Mu Jintang happened to arrive at Tang Peipei's shop. Hearing that Tang Peipei had already gone out, Mu Jintang had to turn around and go back to the general's mansion.

As soon as I entered the house, I heard the housekeeper report.

"General, Miss Tang is waiting for you in the reception room."

Mu Jintang didn't expect that Tang Peipei would come to her house, and she happily went to the living room.

Tang Peipei heard footsteps and looked up, only to see Mu Jintang hurrying over.

He stood up and went to meet him, saying, "I heard that the emperor knows about our situation? Is it difficult for us?"

Mu Jintang shook her head and said, "No, let's go to my study and talk."

Mu Jintang pulled Tang Peipei out of the living room, through the corridor, and into his study.

"Sit down first. I'll have someone bring you some fruit. We just got a batch of fresh fruits recently. I'll have someone bring them over for you to try."

After saying this, he went out and told the servant standing at the door to bring some fruits and cakes.

Mu Jintang turned around and saw that Tang Peipei was a little anxious, so he smiled and said, "It's okay. The emperor didn't intend for me to marry a noble lady. Now this is actually what he wanted."

Tang Peipei knew this before, but she had to worry about this imperial society.

She didn't want Mu Jintang to have any problems because of her.

Unexpectedly, Mu Jintang changed the subject and said, "But my mother seemed to be angry when she entered the palace today."

Tang Peipei held her forehead with her hand, breathing heavily while speaking.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has been difficult since ancient times. In modern times, many families have conflicts over the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

In the ancient times, people paid great attention to status and position. She had no advantages to begin with. Now, she hasn't even done anything with Mu Jintang yet, but her mother-in-law is already angry with her. This is not good.

Tang Peipei didn't know what to do.

Mu Jintang said something shocking, "Why don't we get married?"

Tang Peipei stared at him with eyes wide open and asked, "What?"

Mu Jintang said, "I say, Peipei, let's get married! You know my feelings, don't worry, I will never let you down."

Mu Jintang spoke affectionately, but Tang Peipei was a little hesitant.

Although she likes Mu Jintang, she has her own principles.

She was wondering whether she could accept the marriage conditions in ancient times in the future, and whether she could accept that Mu Jintang would legally marry one or more concubines in the future?

Princess Qinghe didn't like her in the first place. What should she do if they couldn't get along with each other in the future?

Tang Peipei didn't dare to draw conclusions about this matter easily, but she didn't want to disappoint Mu Jintang.

After all, she had seen how good Mu Jintang had been to her for so long.

As a general, he was very considerate to her and her family.

Mu Jintang saw Tang Peipei hesitating and looked a little conflicted.

Asked: "Peipei, you, don't want to?"

Tang Peipei was afraid that Mu Jintang would misunderstand, so she quickly shook her head and said, "No."

When Mu Jintang heard her say no, she felt a little comforted.

Asked: "Peipei, if you have any ideas, you can speak out."

Tang Peipei thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, you will find what I said shocking. However, this is what I really think. Are you sure you want to listen to me?"

Tang Peipei's words made Mu Jintang a little confused, but she still nodded.

Tang Peipei said: "In your wealthy and prominent families, it is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. However, this is not the case in our ordinary lives. The life I yearn for is to be with one person for the rest of my life, and to grow old together. So, you can think about it carefully, and if you can really do that, we can talk about getting married."

After listening to Tang Peipei's words, Mu Jintang silently recited Tang Peipei's words in his heart: A pair of people for a lifetime, accompanying each other until old age.

"A pair of people for life, accompanying each other until old age, right?" Mu Jintang looked at Tang Peipei seriously and said.

Tang Peipei nodded, "Yes, I can't tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes. If you marry me, then you can only stay with me in the future. If you get tired of it in the future and want to find something new, I will make room for the newcomer without hesitation."

When Mu Jintang heard that she was going to make room for the newcomer, she hugged Tang Peipei and said, "I won't give you the chance to leave me."

Tang Peipei got the promise she wanted, so she was naturally happy.

Forget it, now that we are in love, let’s enjoy our love.

At this time, the servant outside knocked on the door and brought in a plate of washed and cut fruits and two plates of cakes.

"Try it quickly." Mu Jintang picked up a cherry and fed it to Tang Peipei.

Tang Peipei ate from Mu Jintang's hand, feeling sweet in her mouth and heart.

She hadn't eaten cherries for a long time. In her previous life, she ate quite a lot of cherries.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Mu Jintang asked, "This was just delivered from the farm this morning. It's very fresh."

Tang Peipei smiled and said, "It's delicious and sweet."

Mu Jintang was very happy to hear that Tang Peipei liked it, "I'm glad you like it. I'll have someone send some to grandma and grandpa later. I think the old people should like it too."

Tang Peipei nodded and asked, "Does your mother have any?"

Mu Jintang said: "Don't worry, mother doesn't lack these."

Tang Peipei thought about it and agreed, so she didn't say anything else.

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "By the way, will your mother agree to our marriage?"

Tang Peipei can still remember Princess Qinghe's attitude when she first met her, so she doesn't think that Princess Qinghe would agree to their relationship so easily.

Mu Jintang said, "Don't worry, my mother has agreed." Seeing that Tang Peipei seemed a little unconvinced, he said, "Do you know why my mother was upset today?"

Tang Peipei asked: "Why?"

Mu Jintang said, "The Queen had intended to win me over to work for the Third Prince, but I never expressed my opinion." After a pause, he continued, "This time, the Queen heard about you and me, and wanted to start with my mother, trying to persuade her to agree to my marrying her daughter, the daughter of the Emperor's uncle. But my mother is not that easy to fool. In the end, she directly said that she agreed to your relationship with me."

Tang Peipei didn't expect that Princess Qinghe would say this in the end, so she asked, "So the Queen is angry because she didn't get what she wanted?"

Mu Jintang tapped Tang Peipei's forehead and said, "I heard that he lost his temper in the palace later."

Tang Peipei nodded, and she knew how angry the queen would be.

However, the emperor probably also knows what the queen is thinking.

Tang Peipei had to admit that she was really not suitable for such a scheming life.

"You said, should I go to your mother's princess residence to see her? After all, it's partly because of me that she was bullied in the palace today."

Mu Jintang was very pleased that Tang Peipei had such an attitude, and said, "I'll go with you when you go, and you can bring little Tuanzi with you. Mom is old, and she really likes lively places, especially children."

After hearing what Mu Jintang said, Tang Peipei was actually still a little confused. She always felt that Mu Jintang and Princess Qinghe seemed to have a bit of a strange attitude towards the existence of Xiaotuanzi.

According to common sense, especially in ancient times when men were superior to women, few men could accept that their wife gave birth to a child before marrying them.

Although that child was an accident.

But then I thought again, it seemed that after coming here, I met two men, and neither of them seemed to care much about this matter.

Tang Peipei put aside the messy thoughts in her mind, nodded to Mu Jintang, and said, "Okay."
