Murong Ze grew up with Murong Shou. When Murong Shou sent Xiao Mo to Qinshan, he also followed him.

From then on, Murong Shou told him that she had no brothers or sisters and he was her only brother.

Over the years, whenever Murong Shou had time to go to Qinshan to see Xiao Mo, he would clamor to go together.

Over time, a relationship was established between them.

Xiao Mo respects this cousin from the bottom of her heart.

If it weren't for Murong Shou and him, she might not be alive today, or even if she were still alive, she would just be a beggar.

In her heart, Murong Shou, Murong Ze and her master were ranked first, followed by Murong Shu, Qin Shan’s senior brothers, and finally Xiao Wenbo.

This biological father who has the same surname as her did not argue with her when faced with such false accusations, but chose to give up on her.

The more Xiao Mo recalled, the more she found Murong Ze in front of her extremely pleasing to the eye.

Murong Ze looked at her in a daze and couldn't help but chuckle.

Xiao Mo was awakened by his voice and turned away embarrassedly.

"Aunt, are you feeling well?" He took a sip of tea and asked her with a smile.

Xiao Mo straightened her expression and turned to face him: "Mom is fine, thank you for your concern, cousin."

Murong Ze smiled gently, and when he looked up, he saw the Shen brothers and sisters walking towards him quickly.

Xiao Mo followed his gaze and looked sideways, then waved at the two of them with a smile.

"Han Zhou, come here. From now on, you will be General Murong's man."

Murong Ze, who was drinking tea, almost choked at this remark. He coughed twice, put down the teacup and looked at Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, why does this sound so awkward to me?"

"You said you wanted him to be your attendant." Xiao Mo glanced at him innocently, then turned to look at Shen Hanzhou: "You need to learn more by following General Murong. When I have free time, I will bring Yun to visit you."

Shen Hanzhou lowered his eyes, nodded, and walked forward to give Murong Ze a respectful salute: "I greet the general."

Murong Ze raised his hand to signal him to stand up, but his eyes were on Xiao Mo: "You have come a long way and must be tired. Go and rest for a while."

After he finished speaking, he frowned and glanced at the maid beside him: "Have you tidied up the guest room in the west wing?"

The maid lowered her head, crossed her hands in front of her, and replied respectfully, "The room has been cleaned, but the fallen leaves in the yard are still being swept away."

A wealthy family like theirs would not leave a courtyard or room unoccupied even if it was not occupied by anyone.

Normally, there are special servants to clean the unused yards and rooms.

Therefore, the guest room that Murong Ze mentioned only needed a little tidying up before it could be occupied. As the daughter of the prime minister, Xiao Mo naturally understood this.

Speaking of this, Shen Yun subconsciously wanted to yawn, but she held it back because the occasion was not right.

Xiao Mo noticed her little action and swallowed the words of refusal that she wanted to say.

She stood up and leaned towards Murong Ze: "Then I won't bother my cousin anymore."

Hearing her tone, Murong Ze thought she misunderstood him and wanted to get rid of her, so he quickly explained: "No, I just want you to go and rest for a while."

"I know my cousin is concerned about me." Xiao Mo looked back at him with a smile on her face, then left with Shen Yun.

In the west wing guest room, as soon as the two entered the room, Xiao Mo dismissed the maid sent by Murong Ze.

To be honest, she was a little tired after sitting in the carriage for so many days, but she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay down on the bed.

Shen Yun poured a cup of tea for her and Xiao Mo, then sat down next to her with a smile on her face.

Xiao Mo took a sip and lowered her head to tease her: "What's wrong? You look absent-minded. Is it because my cousin is so handsome that you are fascinated by him?"

Shen Yun looked at her blankly, not showing any shyness at all as if her thoughts were exposed.

"What are you talking about, young lady? I didn't even dare to look General Murong in the eye. I'm sad because I won't be able to see my brother every day."

She spoke seriously, so Xiao Mo stopped teasing her: "Do you want to stay with us? If you do, I'll go talk to him."

Shen Yun shook her head and smiled sweetly: "No, I still want to be with you. Just like you said, bring me here more often in your free time."

"No matter what you choose, I respect you." She clapped her hands and said seriously.

This is also what attracted Shen Yun to her, just like when they first met.

She proposed to follow her until death, but Shen Hanzhou did not express his attitude. She also said at the time that she respected their choice and could follow her if they wanted to and not follow her if they didn't want to.

She and Shen Hanzhou had a hard life since childhood. Since he followed her, it was like going back to many years ago when his parents were still alive.

In Shen Yun's eyes, Xiao Mo is her living relative.

"I want to stay with you forever." Shen Yun looked at Xiao Mo with sparkling eyes.

Xiao Mo smiled fondly, "Then you won't get married?"

"Don't marry."

"What are you talking about?"

She grew up with her master and had never been served by anyone. She also liked the feeling of being alone.

When she first returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Murong Shu selected several personal maids for her, but she refused any of them.

The appearance of Shen Yun changed her mood a little. It’s not that she likes the feeling of being served, but she just thinks it’s nice to have someone by her side all the time.

Although Shen Yun is one year younger than her, she is steady and not impetuous at all, which is something Xiao Mo admires very much.

In the evening, when Murong Shouyi came back, Murong Ze told him about Xiao Mo's visit.

He was so happy that he didn't wait for the people below to inform Xiao Mo. He strode towards the yard where she lived.

Xiao Mo took off her coat and was practicing sword in the yard. Shen Yun was waiting by her side to learn. When she saw the gate of the yard was opened, her first reaction was to call Xiao Mo softly.

When Xiao Mo heard the voice, she turned around and saw Murong Shouzheng walking towards her with a look of surprise on his face.

With a smile on her face, she threw the sword to Shen Yun and went forward, kneeling on one knee on the ground and bowing deeply to Murong Shou: "Greetings, Marshal Murong."

Murong Shou excitedly bent down and helped her up: "What are you doing? Get up quickly. What marshal or not? I am your uncle."

Xiao Mo tilted her head and smiled, then led him to sit on the stone bench nearby. "How has everything been going for Uncle these years?"

"Okay, everything is fine. How about you? I heard that you went to the front lines last year and were promoted by the Emperor after suppressing the rebellion?"

"It's just some martial arts. The emperor showed his favor by giving me the title of idle general just for fun."

Murong Shou looked at Xiao Mo with a loving expression, his eyes narrowed in smile. "You've grown up, blossomed, and become beautiful. You're as pretty as your mother was when she was young. Is your mother doing well in the Prime Minister's Mansion? Is she in good health?"
