I just want to die of old age

Mu Wanqing is a woman with a sense of life. She placed a pot of yellow daisies on the table, which looked full of vitality.

The furniture in the hall looks neat and comfortable, not messy at all. There are a few unknown calligraphy and paintings on the wall, which are a bit immature but already have the style of a master.

This brushstroke was obviously the work of a man, and Su Yuzhu's eyes flashed with appreciation.

After a while, Mu Wanqing came in with a pot of tea, poured it for Su Yuzhu, and said, "This is my son's old work."

"Excellent, sharp writing."

"I just hope he can live a safe and stable life in the future, but he insists on taking the imperial examination and getting into the officialdom."

"Maybe he just wanted to protect you."

In this era where human life is worthless, only those who have passed the imperial examinations or hold official positions can protect their families.

Mu Wanqing seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to.

Maybe it was because he felt a affinity with this girl. It had been a long time since he had seen a woman with such a personality. She was confident, decisive, and full of freedom.

Mu Wanqing said softly: "I don't know why, but seeing you is like seeing myself. I want to tell you about the past."

"I will never tell anyone else what I heard today."

As soon as Su Yuzhu saw her, she felt that she was a woman with a complicated experience. Although her appearance and temperament were extremely outstanding, she lived in the mountains.

Mu Wanqing tried to think of her words, and her brows tightened slightly as she thought of the past.

Mu Wanqing was once a lady from a wealthy family. She was brought up very strictly by her family since she was a child and was required to be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all controlled extremely strictly and meticulously.

What dishes are eaten every day are strictly controlled, and all etiquette rules must be followed as required, just like a puppet. If there is any mistake, the nanny will hit the hand.

Mu Wanqing is naturally intelligent and has a strong ability of comprehension, and has become the leader in the family.

So her family placed the important task of bringing honor to the family on her shoulders, intending to find a good son-in-law to help the family.

Mu Wanqing was like a bird in a cage, trapped in a square cage. It was difficult for her to go out and she became a lady from a wealthy family who never left the house.

The only way to relieve the melancholy in my heart is to grow flowers in the yard.

But Mu Wanqing was different from other girls since she was young. She accepted and obeyed the arrangements of her elders.

Although he appears to be obedient on the surface, he has his own ideas in his heart.

However, during a rare trip, she met the man she would never forget in her life.

He was a top scholar in the imperial examination and when he was riding a horse in a parade, their eyes happened to meet.

It is better than the encounter of golden flowers and jade dew, but there are countless encounters like this in the world!

Mu Wanqing could not bear being trapped in the mansion, so she tried every means to leave. The two of them met and got to know each other unexpectedly, and their feelings for each other grew deeper and deeper, and they fell in love with each other.

Mu Wanqing was too naive at that time and told her relatives about this in the hope that she could change their minds.

But her father only wanted to marry her into a wealthy family and had no intention of marrying his beloved daughter to a minor seventh-rank official.

He only wants to maximize his own interests so that he can get promoted and make money, and he will eliminate any factors that influence him at all costs.

As a result, he was constantly suppressed in the officialdom and could not even become an official of the seventh rank.

Later, it was Tanhua's teacher and senior brothers who saved him.

But her father still wanted to marry Mu Wanqing to a high-ranking official who was over 50 years old as his second wife.

Mu Wanqing was stubborn and refused to give up her lover, so she severed ties with her family, and finally the two of them left the capital together.

Su Yuzhu sighed in her heart, this is what the ancients called breaking up a couple.

Su Yuzhu did not feel disgusted by this unorthodox behavior in ancient times, and even bravely pursued her love.

There's nothing wrong with you not being married and she not being married, but in ancient times it would be a matter of damaging both your reputations.

Mu Wanqing asked with a smile: "Do you think I am rebellious? Restless?"

Su Yuzhu did not answer directly, but asked: "Do you regret it?"

Su Yuzhu could tell that Mu Wanqing used to live a life of luxury, but now she could only afford simple meals.

It can be said that it is completely different from her previous life, but she gives people a feeling of happiness and peace.

Sure enough, Mu Wanqing showed a happy smile on her face and said gently: "This is the life I pursue."

"As long as you don't regret it, you should have the courage to choose the life you want."

"Well said. If I had been locked up in the four walls of my house, I would have died of depression long ago."

"Intrigue and deception are sometimes worse than the ordinary lives of ordinary people."

Mu Wanqing smiled and said, "At such a young age, he has such clear thoughts. It is true that the disciple is better than the master. I just feel sorry for him that he cannot make full use of his talent."

"How could that be? One can achieve something not only in official circles. Teaching and educating people and cultivating talents are more suitable for me." A magnetic and clear male voice was heard in my ears.

A tall man with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and a high nose bridge walked in.

The man who made Mu Wanqing give up everything was indeed a rare handsome man, and his every move exuded the free and easy charm of a mature man.

He worked as a teacher in the county town, leading a leisurely life, and apparently he had no regrets.

His tender eyes never left Mu Wanqing. He might have lost his career because of this, but he did not show any anger towards her.

Su Yuzhu felt inexplicably full, so she found an excuse to leave and stop being a third wheel.

Su Yuzhu was still lost in thought on the way back. She felt that the man looked somewhat familiar, but she couldn't remember where he was for a moment.

It was not until she returned home that Su Yuzhu suddenly woke up. The man looked a bit like Zhao Lingyun, and she had some guesses in her mind.

Could it be?

As soon as Cao Cao was mentioned, he would appear. The Su Boqiu and his brother brought Zhao Lingyun to their home to discuss academic matters.

Following behind him was Zheng Yaoming, who was persistent and clingy.

Zheng Yaoming listened to his father's words, and as soon as the imperial examination was over, he stayed away from those bad friends and focused on Su Boqiu and the others.

In order to show his seriousness, he dressed up specially.

She was dressed in a gorgeous red dress and had golden ornaments on her head and neck. This eye-catching outfit made her look like a walking gold ingot.

Even Su Boqiu, who was always calm and composed, felt a headache coming on, especially when he heard Zheng Yaoming say he wanted to make friends.

Su Boshen and Zhao Lingyun beside them were so frightened that they quickly moved 2 meters away, as if they didn't know them.

No matter how Su Boqiu refused, Zheng Yaoming kept pestering him. In some ways, he was as stubborn as a bull.

As soon as Zheng Yaoming arrived at the Su family, his eyes lit up when he saw Su Yuzhu. He patted his chest and said, "Su Boqiu, this is our sister, she is really beautiful, and she will be my sister in the future."
