Appointing a General as a Concubine: Where Can General Xiao Escape?

Murong Ze had his head down, but he froze instantly when he heard this.

Xiao Mo coughed violently and swallowed the tea that was stuck in her throat. She raised her head and looked at Murong Shou, but she didn't know what to say.

Of course she remembered it, but in her opinion, it was just a joke between two children.

Seeing their reactions, Murong Shou added, "Your master and two senior brothers were there at the time, and they were all witnesses."

What does that mean? Did he take it seriously? Oh my god, this, this, this...

"Uncle, I, I..." Her hesitant look made Murong Ze's eyes darker.

In fact, he didn't take this matter too seriously, but looking at Xiao Mo's reaction, does it mean that she hates him?

"Father, how can you take a child's words seriously?"

Although he felt uncomfortable, he still helped Xiao Mo out of the predicament.

Murong Shou looked at him in surprise: "Why, don't you like Mo'er? I saw that you had no intention of getting married for many years, and I thought you were waiting for Mo'er."

It would have been fine if this hadn't been said, but once it was said, both of them felt awkward and uncomfortable.

"Whether I get married or not has nothing to do with Mo'er." Murong Ze frowned slightly and turned to look at Xiao Mo: "Mo'er, just think of it as a joke from your uncle. Here, this is your favorite food."

With the excuse he gave her, Xiao Mo was no longer so nervous.

She smiled and picked up the dish he gave her. Without saying a word, she just squinted her eyes and smiled at her, then lowered her head to eat.

Murong Shou observed the two of them and understood what was going on.

It's not that he doesn't like his son, he's just afraid of being rejected!

But looking at Xiao Mo's expression, it seemed that she really didn't mean that.

Oh, I was thinking of strengthening our relationship, but it seems that it is not easy.

The next day, after Xiao Mo packed up, she wanted to take Shen Yun to the street to play, but when she opened the door, she saw Murong Ze waiting in the yard.

He put one hand behind his back, sat on the stone bench next to Xiao Mo's room door with his back to her, and read a military book.

Hearing the sound, he put down what he was holding and stood up. Turning around, he saw Xiao Mo dressed in a refreshing men's suit.

Seeing him, Xiao Mo was a little surprised: "Cousin, what are you doing in my yard so early?"

Murong Ze was dressed in a light green casual suit, with black hair and a high crown, holding a folding fan in his hand. He looked gentle and energetic.

The two looked at each other and were stunned on the spot. Shen Yun covered her nose with her hands to hold back her laughter.

Xiao Mo looked down at her clothes, then looked up at Murong Ze.

Murong Ze was briefly shocked, then smiled and took two steps towards Xiao Mo: "We really are in sync."

Xiao Mo laughed dryly and walked forward: "What's this, cousin?"

"Didn't I say I would take you out to play last night?"

"Actually, I can go by myself." Xiao Mo refused politely.

But Murong Ze didn't agree with her. He took her hand and walked out: "Why are you so formal? When we were little in Qinshan, didn't you enthusiastically take me to the long street at the foot of the mountain to play?"

Xiao Mo lowered her head, bit her lip, and laughed, "Well, I... let's go."

She wanted to say something, but Murong Ze turned around and gave her a look that stopped her from saying anything.

Outside the mansion, Shen Hanzhou had already been waiting there. When he saw Murong Ze and the other two come out, his expression immediately became serious.

Since they were going shopping, they chose to walk.

Xiao Mo and Murong Ze walked in front, and Shen Yun and Shen Hanzhou followed behind them respectively.

Although this place is not as prosperous as the imperial city, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and it has an outstanding cultural heritage, so it can be considered a good place.

How should I put it? To describe it in one sentence, this place is very suitable for retirement.

But because of its special geographical location, if there were no people like Murong Shou guarding it, it is hard to say how this city would develop.

Several people walked around and looked around, each with different thoughts in their minds.

The streets were bustling with activity. Xiao Mo walked onto the long street not far before she saw something that made her happy.

"Wow, what is that?" She ran forward in surprise and fiddled with the things on the vendor's stall with her hands.

Murong Ze followed closely behind, standing beside her and explaining to her: "This is a small animal made of colored paper. Do you recognize what this is in your hand?"

Xiao Mo carefully looked through the thing in her hand. After looking around, she frowned and asked tentatively, "Is it a rabbit?"

"No, this is just a cat. Do you like rabbits? Boss, get one..."

Murongze smiled and reached into his sleeve to take out the silver, but was held back by Xiao Mo: "Wait, I don't want it."

She put the things in her hand back and pulled Murong Ze forward.

"This is poorly made. I can't even tell what it is. Let's go to the front and take a look."

Murong Ze looked at his hand being held by Xiao Mo, and his eyes and brows lit up with smiles.

He gently held her hand back, "There's a shop up ahead that does some good work, and they even have lanterns made of small animals."

"Go and have a look."

The few of them shopped for the whole morning and bought a lot of things. Every time Xiao Mo bought something for herself, she would also buy one for Shen Yun.

After seeing this, Murong Ze also told Shen Hanzhou to take whatever he liked.

Shen Hanzhou didn't dare to take it. Every time Shen Yun asked him about it, he said he didn't like it.

In desperation, Murong Ze could only go by his feelings and buy him anything he thought was good.

What about short swords and long knives engraved with ancient Chinese characters, what about folding fan murals depicting mountains and rivers...

In the end, Shen Hanzhou and Shen Yun each hugged a large pile, and Murong Ze stopped when they could hardly hold them all.

"You guys take your things back first. Mo'er and I will go shopping for a while."

He turned around and looked at the two speechless people, and said happily.

The two looked at each other, nodded at him and Xiao Mo respectively, and turned and left.

After they left, Murong Ze took Xiao Mo's hand again and said, "There's a place to watch the show ahead. Let's go."

Xiao Mo smiled awkwardly and tried to pull her hand back: "Just go, I, I..."

Feeling the slender wrist in his hand exerting force, Murong Ze slowed down his pace and gently let go of her.

He curled up the corners of his mouth slightly, walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, looking at Xiao Mo with charming eyes.

Xiao Mo met his eyes, confused: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Murong Ze thought for a moment, turned around and walked forward.

The two walked side by side on the street. He bit his lips gently and glanced sideways at Xiao Mo from time to time, as if they were the only two people on the street.

Every time Xiao Mo felt Murong Ze was looking at her, she would turn her head and only see him looking straight ahead.

She always felt that he was acting strangely today. After finishing the last candied haws in her hand, she pulled his sleeve and asked seriously, "Cousin, do you have anything to tell me?"
