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

Ten days after Xia Qin disappeared, General Mu Lie and his eldest son Mu Jinyu returned to the capital. After meeting the emperor, they hurried back to their mansion.

Everyone in the Mu family was waiting outside the gate to welcome them.

Although he was deprived of his military power, Mu Lie, as an important official of the previous dynasty, thought such an arrangement was a good thing. Although he felt regretful, he was not dissatisfied.

After nearly thirty years of fighting outside, it may not be a bad thing that he can now go home and enjoy family happiness before he is fifty.

After getting off the carriage, Mu Lie looked at the crowd with joy, but found that his most precious daughter was not there. He frowned and asked, "Where is Yan'er?"

Everyone was mentally prepared for this and they all kept their heads down and said nothing.

Seeing everyone acting so abnormal, Mu Lie looked at the old butler Meng De. Meng De looked up at Mu Lie, his mouth trembling slightly: "Master, Young Master, the eldest lady..."

Mu Jinyu's expression changed and he asked anxiously, "What happened to Xiaoyan? What happened?!"

Meng De knelt on the ground and said, "Master, Master, I deserve to die for not taking good care of the young lady. She disappeared ten days ago. The Second Madam sent people to look for her, but they only found Wu Qi's body and Xiao Lian... The young lady and Lu Liu are nowhere to be found."

"What?!" Mu Lie was stunned, veins popping out on his forehead, "What do you mean by Wu Qi's body? The four of them went out? What did they go out for?!"

Seeing that no one responded, Mu Lie turned his gaze to the second wife.

At this time, Mu Jinqi whispered, "Dad, let's talk about it when we get back home. Sister is blessed with a good life and nothing will happen to her. Dad, take care of yourself too."

The Second Lady's face looked extremely ugly. She lowered her head and said nothing. According to her plan, the bodies of the eldest lady and Xiaolian should have been found, and Lu Liu and Wu Qi would have been missing.

But the reality made her very uneasy. The appearance of either Mu Jinyan or Lu Liu would cause the matter to be completely exposed.

Mu Jinyu looked around and whispered to Mu Lie, "Father, gather the relevant people in the front hall and interrogate them. We just returned to the capital, and the walls have ears."

Mu Lie suppressed his anger and said in a heavy tone, "Have you posted the missing person notice?"

Meng De quickly replied, "Master, we will post posters everywhere in the capital the next day. We have also informed the city defense camp and various government offices. If there is any news, we will be informed immediately."

Mu Lie glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Search again! We must find Yan'er! Everyone, come to the front hall. I want to find out what's going on myself!"

A moment later, Mu Lie sat on the main seat, Mu Jinyu stood beside him, and in the front hall stood the second wife Jia Lanxi, the second lady Mu Jinqi, the housekeeper Meng De, the maid Xiaolian, the servant Wei Wu and a group of servants.

After briefly understanding the situation, Mu Lie looked at the Second Madam, suppressing his anger and speaking in a cold tone: "Did you ask Yan'er to go to worship Jinxi?"

Although the Second Madam had something to hide, she still pretended to be calm and said, "Master, it was indeed me who asked Lu Liu, Wu Qi, and Xiao Lian to accompany Yan Er to pay tribute to Sister Gu."

Worshipping his mother was reasonable. Although Mu Lie had doubts, he did not dwell on them. He just said something ambiguous: "You have become sensible, Xiaolian. You said you fainted not long after getting in the car?"

"Yes, sir. When I woke up, I found Wu Qi's body lying on top of me... wuwuwu!"

Although more than ten days had passed, Xiaolian couldn't stop crying whenever she thought of this incident.

Meng De walked up to Mu Lie and whispered a few words.

Mu Lie looked at Xiao Lian coldly. Although he felt a little reluctant, he did not stop asking questions: "Did Yan'er and you eat or drink anything before the accident?"

Xiaolian, who was sobbing, secretly glanced at the second young lady and said hesitantly, "No... I didn't eat or drink anything."

Mu Lie turned his gaze to Wei Wu again and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, you have close contacts with Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi. Have you noticed anything unusual about them?"

When Wei Wu heard Mu Lie suddenly asking him, he was immediately panicked and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

Seeing that Wei Wu did not respond, Mu Jinyu immediately asked loudly: "Wei Wu, I'm asking you a question! Are you deaf or dumb?!"

Wei Wu was so frightened by Mu Jinyu's words that his whole body trembled, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

He defended himself with tears in his voice, "Master, Master, please understand! Although I am familiar with those two, this matter has nothing to do with me! I never thought they would do such an evil thing that is beyond human nature!"

Mu Jinyu glanced at him and lowered his voice and said, "Who told you that Lu Liu did something bad? Father just asked you if there was anything unusual between the two of them, and if they mentioned any people or money or something like that."

When Wei Wu heard Mu Jinyu's words, his eyes rolled and he immediately thought of a way to clear himself: "Now that the eldest master reminded me of this, I seem to have heard them talk about gambling and debts."

He had a very close relationship with Lu Liu and Wu Qi. If the two had escaped as planned, it could be considered that the four of them had been killed together.

Now the spearhead is pointed at Lu Liu and his men. Given the personalities and tempers of Mu Lie and his son, he will be in big trouble even without evidence. As a last resort, he can only use his clever tricks.

Mu Lie and Mu Jinyu glanced at Wei Wu at the same time. Mu Lie waved his hand and said, "Alright, all of you can go down."

After everyone left, Mu Lie seemed to have been drained of all his strength and collapsed in his chair.

After an unknown amount of time, he whispered with guilt: "Yu'er, Dad has always been sorry for Yan'er. For so many years, I knew that your second mother didn't like her, but I still kept her at home."

Faced with his father's self-blame, Mu Jinyu's face did not show much emotional fluctuation, but he felt in his heart that his father was really old.

He comforted her in a low and gentle voice: "Father, this is not your fault. It would be inappropriate to bring Xiaoyan to the battlefield. And I believe Xiaoyan will be fine. Mother's spirit in heaven will definitely protect her, just like eight years ago."

Hearing his son's words of comfort, Mu Lie felt even more sad. He looked at Mu Jinyu and choked up a little, "Yu'er, have you blamed your father all these years?"

"Over the years, my father has been busy defending the border against foreign invaders and protecting the people of Daxia. He has been too busy with military and national affairs to take care of family affairs. This is a helpless move," Mu Jinyu said, with a ruthless look in his eyes. "When I find the person who harmed Xiaoyan, no matter who it is, I will make sure to behead him!"

Xia Qin lived a pretty good life in the suburbs of Xiling, three hundred miles away from the capital. She was full of curiosity and practiced the martial arts of this world every day, while Mo Ye guided her step by step.

That day, with a little help from Mo Ye, Xia Qin managed to fly to a three-meter-high treetop. Just when she was feeling a little proud and excited, a black shadow suddenly flew over and arrived in front of the bamboo house.

Including Zhong Xinyu on the first day, this is already the fourth woman from the martial arts world who has come to find Mo Ye. Xia Qin has become accustomed to this kind of thing.

The woman was wearing a purple brocade robe. The tight robe perfectly set off her graceful figure. Her facial features were much more stunning than the previous ones, but her face was full of murderous intent.

Xia Qin's intuition told her that this woman was very different from the previous three.

When the woman saw Mo Ye and Xia Qin's intimate behavior, she said in a sarcastic tone, "Mr. Mo, the name is wrong. It's true. I haven't heard from you for so long. It turns out you have been hiding here and enjoying yourself."
