My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

A clear and pleasant voice came slowly.

Xiao Mu looked up and saw Mo Yu standing at the door of the study with a conflicted look on his face.

Behind him, a dark green dress swayed in the wind.

Xiao Mu's heart was shocked. Why was Yunniang here?

He really didn't expect Liu Yunniang to show up at this moment.

In an instant, his mind went blank. He stood up at a loss, but stood still, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

Liu Yunniang stood quietly at the door, staring at Xiao Mu with her beautiful eyes, a mixture of anger and worry in her eyes.

She walked slowly into the study room with lotus steps, and every step seemed to be stepping on Xiao Mu's heart.

At the same time, Mo Yu gently closed the door, and then exchanged a knowing look with Mo Feng.

They knew very well that the general and Madam Liu had a lot to say at the moment and it was not appropriate to disturb them, so they withdrew quietly, leaving only Xiao Mu and Liu Yunniang in the quiet study.

"Yunniang, why are you here?"

Xiao Mu was the first to break the suffocating silence, with a barely perceptible tremor in his voice.

Liu Yunniang walked straight to Xiao Mu, her eyes as sharp as torches, staring straight into his eyes.

"Why, General Xiao, do you not welcome me? If I hadn't suddenly come to your general's mansion, would you have planned to leave quietly without saying a word?"

Xiao Mu subconsciously avoided her burning gaze, lowered his head, and said in a slightly low voice,

"This trip to the northwest is full of dangers. I really don't want you to worry about me."

Liu Yunniang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a slightly bitter smile.

"Xiao Mu, do you think that if you don't tell me, my heart will be at peace? You have been avoiding me these days. I am afraid you are thinking of parting. Are you planning to keep it a secret from me and let me wait in the capital like a fool, knowing nothing about the dangers outside?"

Xiao Mu was left speechless by Liu Yunniang's words. He wanted to refute, but he had no intention of letting Yunniang wait for him.

However, if I say this, Yunniang will probably get even angrier.

"I didn't. I just simply didn't want you to worry about me. I was also afraid that I would not be able to bear to leave you, Yunniang. In all these years, it seems like this is the first time I know what it feels like to be afraid."

Xiao Mu's voice was low and lingering, as if it was silently holding Liu Yunniang tightly.

Liu Yunniang looked at Xiao Mu, the anger in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by tenderness like water.

"Xiao Mu, I can roughly guess why you are going to the northwest this time. You left Beijing quietly this time to deal with Langchuan, right?"

Xiao Mu nodded gently, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"Yunniang, you are indeed very smart. Langchuan is ambitious and if we don't eliminate him, there will never be peace on the border of Wei. This is my responsibility as a general of Wei, and I cannot back down."

Liu Yunniang slowly stretched out her hand and gently held Xiao Mu's hand, feeling the warmth from his hand.

"I know this is your responsibility. As a general of the Wei Dynasty, it is your mission to guard the border. But why couldn't you tell me? Are you afraid that I would stop you, or that I wouldn't wait for you? Or maybe you didn't intend to let me wait for you?"

Xiao Mu felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Liu Yunniang. He wanted to say something, but he felt that any words would be so pale and powerless at this moment.

Liu Yunniang continued,

"You think this is good for me, but you don't know how uncomfortable it is to be kept in the dark. I want to face the storm with you, no matter it is a mountain of swords or a sea of fire."

Xiao Mu sighed softly and held Liu Yunniang's hand tightly.

"Yun Niang, some things always have to have a result. If that is my ending, I want to fight hard. If the ending changes, I will definitely let the matchmaker come to my house to ask for marriage. At that time, even if you don't want to, I will also shamelessly trample the threshold of your Liu Mansion. You, you must marry me, Xiao Mu, in this life. You will take the position of Madam Xiao."

Liu Yunniang shook her head slightly, knowing that he was afraid that she would worry and was teasing her on purpose.

However, from what he said, it seemed as if he had no idea that His Majesty had asked her what she meant.

Could it be that he really didn't know about the three-day appointment?

What does your majesty mean?

"Why, you don't want to marry me now?"

Xiao Mu looked at Liu Yunniang, feeling a mixture of emotion and helplessness.

He gently embraced Liu Yunniang in his arms, feeling her warmth, and said in a hoarse voice,

"Yun Niang, I know your feelings, but I won't be so selfish. If there comes a day, I will go through three matchmakers and nine engagements to welcome you home. How can I be so hasty and let you down?"

Liu Yunniang leaned in Xiao Mu's arms and whispered softly,

"Xiao Mu, you know I don't care about these. I only ask one thing of you, that you must be safe and sound. You must remember that I am waiting for you. I have been waiting for you. You are not alone, remember?"

Xiao Mu's throat seemed to be choked by something. He hugged Liu Yunniang tightly and couldn't speak for a long time.

Outside the study, Mo Feng and Mo Yu stood quietly.

Mo Feng looked at the closed door with a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but whispered,

"Mo Yu, do you think the general and Madam Liu can have a good talk? The general is determined not to make Madam Liu worry this time. Will Madam Liu be angry?"

Mo Yu nodded slightly and answered seriously,

"We all understand the general's thoughts. He is afraid that Madam Liu will be hurt. Madam Liu is also worried about the general's safety. I hope they can communicate well and talk things out."

The two of them just stood quietly outside the door, not daring to make any sound, for fear of disturbing the conversation between the two people inside the house.

From time to time, low conversations could be heard in the house. Although they couldn't hear the specific content, they could feel the solemnity and affection in the tone.

After a while, Mo Feng said softly,

"Mo Yu, do you think the general will change his mind and take Madam Liu with him to the northwest?"

Mo Yu frowned, thought for a moment and replied,

"Not too possible."

Mo Feng nodded slightly.

"Oh, God bless you, our general has had such a hard life. He finally met someone he likes, but he hasn't even married her yet, and now he has to go back to the northwest. He doesn't know when he will be able to return to Beijing. I'm really afraid that Madam Liu can't wait that long for the general!"

Mo Yu frowned and glared at Mo Feng, but he also knew that he was telling the truth.

This journey is dangerous. If we fail, there will definitely be a war. How can a war between two countries end in a short time?

At this time, Xiao Mu and Liu Yunniang in the house were still immersed in their conversation, completely unaware of the worries and waiting of the two people outside the door.
