Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

"You bastard!" Qin Huimu shouted at him, "Get over here!"

Seeing this scene, Mu Lie naturally had to speak up, and asked in a low voice: "Xiao Yu, what's going on, Master Qin?"

Xia Qin sat aside, continuing to look at Lotus, tears welling up in Xiaoyu's eyes: "Master, it was indeed the young lady who pushed him."

Everyone present, including Qin Zhengran, was stunned, but Xiaoyu continued, "Just now, the young lady and I were admiring the flowers here, and suddenly this young man came over, speaking frivolously, making a move, and then he threatened us with a knife. The young lady couldn't dodge, so she pushed him lightly, and he accidentally fell in."

"You're talking bullshit! I'll kill you!" Qin Zhengran was furious.

"Zhengran!" Qin Huimu couldn't bear it any longer and slapped Qin Zhengran hard on the face, "Shut up!"

Seeing this, Mu Lie advised: "Master Qin, your son may just be joking, there is no need to punish him too much. But he is soaked, don't catch a cold, go back and change into clean clothes."

Qin Huimu glared at Qin Zhengran and said helplessly, "General Mu, I am ashamed to have such a rebellious son in my family! I will go back first."

Qin Zhengran followed Qin Huimu and left in a hurry. As soon as he walked out of the door, Qin Zhengran complained: "Humph, with the Mu family being like this, it's their honor for me to marry their silly daughter..."

"Pa!" Before he could finish his words, Qin Huimu slapped him hard again.

"You are such a disgrace, you have made me lose face! Whether the Mu family knows how to respect you is their business, and it is your business if you are not presentable! Go back and be confined to your room for a month! Behave yourself!"

"Yan'er, are you okay?" Mu Lie asked with concern, afraid that Mu Jinyan was frightened again.

Xiaoyu at the side comforted her, "Master, don't worry, my sister is fine. When Master was treating my sister, he also taught her a lot of self-defense martial arts. That idiot just now can't bully my sister."

"Your master also taught Yan'er martial arts?"

"Yes, Master said that since my sister was murdered and poisoned, it means someone must be against her. It is always good to learn some Kung Fu to protect herself."

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu looked at each other, obviously a little surprised, and Mu Lie said again: "Well, good thing, I didn't thank your master properly that day, it's really thanks to him."

After returning to the front hall, Mu Jinyu immediately said, "Father, I asked someone these days and found out that there is indeed a person named Mo Ye in the martial arts world. That person did not lie."

"What sect does he belong to? Is there anything we can do to help him? After all, he is a great benefactor of our Mu Mansion."

Mu Jinyu said with an unnatural expression: "How should I put it? He doesn't have any sect, but his overall reputation is not bad. Well, how should I put it? I heard that he is the kind of person who flirts with people everywhere, and his nickname is A Breeze of Love."

After hearing this, Mu Lie said nonchalantly, "We are not choosing a husband for Yan'er, and whether it is in the court or in the martial arts world, such things are always exaggerated when they are spread."

"Yes, father." Mu Jinyu recalled what happened just now, with a worried look on his face, "What happened to Mr. Qin just now?"

"Hey, luckily Qin Zhengran made a scene in the backyard, otherwise it would have been a real headache. But now it's over. Once Yan'er recovers, everything will be fine."

"Father, everything will be alright."

"Also, I've been thinking about it recently. There are too many trivial things in the capital, which is not conducive to Yan'er's recovery. I want to take her back to my hometown in Pengzhou to recuperate for a while, and come back when Yan'er is almost recovered."

"I will ask Meng Bo to prepare and arrange for a few people to go to my hometown to clean up first. By the way, father, the guards sent a letter from the front line two days ago, saying that..."

"Yu'er, let's not ask about the military affairs for the time being, and let them not send you any letters for the time being. If General Qin or His Majesty finds out, I'm afraid they will become suspicious again."

"Yes, father."

Xia Qin thought that she would have to compete with the second lady in the mansion, but Mu Jinyu came to tell her that they should go back to the ancestral home in Pengzhou to recuperate.

The Second Lady has been much more low-key and haggard since the last fright. After Mu Lie handed the Mu Mansion over to the Second Lady, he took Mu Jinyu, Xia Qin, Meng De, Xiaoyu, as well as several guards and maids back to his hometown in Pengzhou.

Pengzhou City is located in the heart of the Great Xia Kingdom. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. It was here that Taizu of the Great Xia Kingdom started his uprising and founded the Huaxia Kingdom.

The climate here is a little more humid than that in the capital. Although the ancestral home is not as grand as the general's mansion, it is more elegant and quiet, and is indeed suitable for rest and recuperation.

In fact, it was not just Xia Qin who needed recuperation. Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu had been fighting outside for years and were already exhausted. Now that they had some free time, it was a good opportunity for them to recover.

"Ah, I haven't been back for almost two years, and there have been a lot of changes here." Mu Lie sighed as he looked at the current Pengzhou City. It seemed to be much more desolate than a few years ago.

Especially in the small town where their ancestral home is located, many houses have long lost the atmosphere of daily life.

After resting for a while, Mu Jinyu took Xia Qin and Xiaoyu to relax in the town.

Mu Jinyu seemed very relaxed after returning to his hometown. He was much more comfortable than when he was in the Mu Mansion, and his expression was no longer so solemn and serious.

He said as he looked at the changes around him: "Xiao Yan, I wonder if you still remember that before mother passed away, we would come back to stay for a month every year. You especially liked to climb the east mountain to pick peaches, and I couldn't catch up with you."

"And the canal in the south. You obviously didn't know how to row, but one time you ran onto the wooden boat, untied the rope, and drifted two miles away. It was easy for us to find you."

Xia Qin listened quietly, but she couldn't remember anything, just like with Mu Lie. Because of the memories in her mind, she had a clear sense of intimacy with Mu Jinyu in front of her, but because she was used to being alone, she didn't have that kind of unconditional trust.

Mu Jinyu looked at Xia Qin with a distressed look on his face, gently rubbed her hair, and said firmly: "Just like I firmly believed that you would come back before, I also believe that my mother's spirit in heaven will bless you to recover as soon as possible!"

Xia Qin looked at Mu Jinyu in front of her, feeling somewhat envious of the original Mu Jinyan. Although she was mentally retarded, her father and brother were really good to her. Unlike her previous life, she had to make a living alone since she was a child, and developed an extreme personality that no one dared to believe.

"Brother, it will be fine." Xia Qin couldn't help but reply. Although she didn't really regard them as her family yet, she felt very sorry for them in her heart.

Just this one sentence made Mu Jinyu's eyes red with excitement. Mu Jinyan was not only his sister, but also the person he placed his longing for his mother.

That year, for some unknown reason, the mother and daughter suddenly rolled down the steep stone steps. At the moment of falling, the mother held Mu Jinyan tightly in her arms, but she herself collided with the hard stone steps hundreds of times and only let go at the end.

Even so, Mu Jinyan was seriously injured, not to mention her mother's miserable condition.

The current situation of Pengzhou City reminded Xia Qin of the small town outside the bamboo house. Although they were nearly a thousand miles apart, they were very similar.

Xiaoyu looked at the town and couldn't help asking, "Brother Mu, this place is not like my hometown which is located in the frontier, why is it so sparsely populated?"

"In recent years, the wars have continued, and the entire Great Xia Kingdom has lost more than 500,000 soldiers. These soldiers are not just from the border areas. In addition to the preparation of military pay and the construction of palaces, the people in every place are suffering. Your hometown is in the border area, where is it?"

"Mobei City." Xiaoyu looked into the distance.

"Oh, that place is already a battlefield. If they are breached again, the Xiongnu will move southeast and reach Yancheng, approaching the capital."

Xiaoyu knew nothing about military affairs and had no interest in them. She only knew that her hometown had been plagued by wars since the previous emperor. She almost starved to death while fleeing from famine. Fortunately, she met Mo Ye who took her in.

Mu Jinyu looked at Xia Qin and smiled bitterly: "Speaking of which, the general who is guarding there now originally had an engagement with Xiaoyan, but he canceled the engagement not long ago."

Xia Qin was stunned when she heard her brother's words. She had heard the gossipy servants in the mansion mention him before. His name seemed to be Dongfang Yi. Although she had a feeling of being abandoned for no reason, she had never met him before, so it was no big deal.

While the three were talking, four tall middle-aged men appeared in front of them, walking towards them with their heads held high. Seeing this, the three of them made way a little, but who knew that the other party would block them.

The leader looked at Mu Jinyu, and his arrogant look suddenly shrank back. He clasped his hands together and bowed his head and said, "You all look like young men and women from wealthy families. My brothers and I are a little hungry. Can you give us some money for the meal?"

Mu Jinyu and Xia Qin frowned and looked at a few people, wondering if this was a robbery?
