The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Mu Yunzhou thought so and asked. Wenrou wiped her tears and said sadly, "I had some reputation in Jiangnan. If the Wen family was still there, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But after the Wen family fell, someone with bad intentions took the opportunity to bribe the officials in charge of the case. As a result, I was forced to separate from my family and sold to a brothel. Fortunately, the people in the brothel wanted to exchange me for a large sum of money and didn't violate me. Later, my wife bought me back."

Mu Yunzhou looked at Wenrou's beauty, which was more beautiful than Xi Shi, and understood that Wenrou was probably once a famous beauty in Jiangnan, but without the protection of the Wen family, her beauty became a burden to her.

Outside the door, Futian had already called the maid, who was lying on the door, listening to the noise inside. He was ready to send the maid back if he heard any sound.

As if sensing something, Mu Yunzhou said, "Futian, let the maid come in." After that, he turned to look at Wenrou, "In my early years, I also met Mr. Wen. Mr. Wen is a noble man and should not have suffered such a hardship. Since you have come to the general's mansion, it is fate. But I have no interest in love between men and women. Forget about being a concubine. I will let you serve as a maid in my courtyard for now. When I return to the frontier in the future, I will send you back to your family."

Hearing this, Wenrou's eyes lit up, and she expressed her sincere gratitude, "Thank you, General! When I return to my father, I'll make sure he thanks you." Hearing Mu Yunzhou's words, Wenrou no longer called herself a slave. As Wen Yun's daughter, she also had her own integrity and nobility. If it weren't for the need to save her life and see her family, Wenrou wouldn't have groveled so low.

As he finished speaking, the maid came in carrying clothes. Mu Yunzhou gestured for her to change Wenrou's clothes, and then he said goodbye to Wenrou and left. Even now, the heat in his body had not completely dissipated, so he had to take a cold shower tonight.

"You said that the skinny horse from Yangzhou was left behind?" Madam Mu sent someone to keep an eye on Wanzhou Pavilion. When the servant who was following her saw Wenrou going to the side room, he hurried back to report to Madam.

"Yes, the eldest young master didn't look unhappy at all, and he even had someone prepare clothes for Miss Wen. I heard that he specially allowed Miss Wen to be his maid, and now Miss Wen has already rested in the side room."

Madam Mu sighed and complained, "What kind of person does Yun Zhou like? Even this skinny horse won't do?"

Hearing this, the old nanny hurried forward to comfort him, "In the past, when we sent people to the young master, we would always send them back overnight. Now that the young master keeps that girl by his side, that's progress. As the old saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. That girl is so beautiful, it's probably only a matter of time before she's brought into the room."

Hearing this, Madam Mu felt that this made a lot of sense, and her frown relaxed. She pressed her temples and said sadly, "If I wasn't worried that the glory of this general's mansion would fall into the hands of others in the future, I wouldn't care about what's going on in my son's room. Alas, what kind of thing is this?"

Madam Mu's husband was General Mu, who later died in battle. The late emperor granted him a general's mansion, allowing the title of general to be passed down through generations of the Mu family as long as they possessed talent. Mu Yunzhou, as the eldest son of General Mu's wife and possessing the talent of a great general, naturally inherited the title. However, if Mu Yunzhou remained childless, the title would have to be passed down to Mu Yunnian's child. However, Mu Yunnian was not Madam Mu's child, but rather the son of a concubine. It was precisely for this reason that Madam Mu was so concerned about her son's sexual affairs.

Although Madam Mu felt that Wenrou had a chance to get the upper hand, she still called her over the next day and gave her a good scolding, her words and actions urging her to work harder. If she didn't capture Mu Yunzhou within a short period of time, Madam Mu would send Wenrou back to the brothel.

Therefore, Wenrou's heart, which had just been relieved, was instantly lifted up again. In fact, if possible, Wenrou did not want to have a relationship with Mu Yunzhou. She would definitely go to the border to find her family in the future. If she became Mu Yunzhou's concubine, she would be trapped in the capital and would never see her family again.

Moreover, even if Wenrou were to marry, her dream husband would be a devoted and talented scholar like her father. Her father, Wen Yun, was not only renowned for his talent but also for his devotion to his first wife. Witnessing her parents' harmonious and loving relationship from a young age, Wenrou also longed for a lifelong partnership.

Thinking of this, Wenrou sighed, not knowing what to do. Now she could only do her job as a maid and take the rest one step at a time.

Mu Yunzhou didn't want Wanying to misunderstand him, so he only used servants around him. Wanzhouting didn't even have a maid. So Wenrou became the only maid in the courtyard.

Usually, it was Futian who served Mu Yunzhou, but Futian received instructions from his wife and assigned this task to Wenrou.

So when Mu Yunzhou came back from court, he saw Wenrou wearing a flowing white dress, looking at him with affectionate eyes, as if waiting for his return.

Mu Yunzhou hesitated for a moment, then walked over to Wenrou and said, "You don't have to do this. Although I'll make you a maid, I have people around me to serve you. You can live a peaceful life without any extra work." He looked at Wenrou and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This daughter of Wen Yun was indeed worthy of her reputation. Her beauty was world-renowned. He had specifically asked his friends about Wen Yun today and learned of Wenrou's reputation. No wonder someone spent a huge sum of money to separate her from the Wen family and sell her to the capital.

Wenrou's eyes were naturally tender, and anyone who looked at her would always think she was in love with them, but in reality, that wasn't the case. Wenrou bowed gently and spoke in a pleasant voice, "General, you saved me from danger, so naturally I want to repay you. Unfortunately, I'm alone now, and the only way I can repay you is by serving as your maid. Please allow me to stay by your side and take care of you." Wenrou wanted to be Mu Yunzhou's personal maid, partly to repay him and partly to show Madam Mu. Fearing she wouldn't be able to get close to Mu Yunzhou for a long time, Madam Mu sent her back to the brothel.

Mu Yunzhou frowned and still wanted to refuse. He was afraid that having such a beauty by his side would make Wanying unhappy.

Seeing this, Wenrou quickly interrupted Mu Yunzhou and said, "Besides, Wenrou also has a selfish motive. She is worried about Madam Mu. If she sees that I am not taking close care of the general, she will probably blame me. Please help me pretend to be nice."

Although Mu Yunzhou was a general who had fought on the battlefield, he was actually a very gentle person. Hearing Wenrou say this, Mu Yunzhou felt a little reluctant, so he sighed and said, "Then I'll have to inconvenience you by my side and serve you."
