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

The reason Nanny said this wasn't because she particularly liked Wenrou, but simply because she didn't want to create a rift between Madam Mu and her son. Mu Yunzhou had been raised by Nanny, and she had never seen him act this way for any other girl, which showed that he truly loved Wenrou. Despite Mu Yunzhou's gentle nature, he was actually quite stubborn and obstinate. This was why Nanny persuaded Madam Mu.

Madam Mu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew in her heart that her son was serious this time, but she didn't want to give in easily. She could only say, "Give me some time."

Mu Yunzhou also knew that it was impossible for his mother to accept Wen Rou so quickly, but he believed that if his mother got to know Wen Rou, she would definitely like her. Mu Yunzhou left Mrs. Mu's residence and hurried back to Wen Rou.

Wenrou fell into a deep sleep after taking the medicine that morning, and her fever had subsided. Mu Yunzhou held Wenrou's hand and watched her quietly by the bed. Although Mu Yunzhou had solved the Wen family's problems and the emperor's problems, and was confident that he could convince his mother, he had not yet gotten over Wenrou.

Wenrou's attitude towards him was the same as hers towards Shangguan Baixu, which made Mu Yunzhou very worried. What if Wenrou didn't choose him? Mu Yunzhou knew Shangguan Baixu well, and if Wenrou was willing to marry him, he would definitely cherish her. But Mu Yunzhou didn't want to let her go. Since the Lantern Festival, Mu Yunzhou had ordered Shangguan Baixu to be kept out of the house, fearing that he would come looking for Wenrou again.

Just as he was thinking, Mu Yunzhou heard a moan. He hurried to Wenrou and saw that she slowly opened her eyes.

Wenrou was confused for a while before she turned her gaze to Mu Yunzhou and asked weakly, "General, what's wrong with me?" Her memory was still stuck on last night.

Mu Yunzhou touched Rourou's forehead and confirmed that she was no longer feverish before saying softly, "You have a fever. I'm sorry, Rourou, I didn't protect you well."

Wenrou was stunned for a moment, remembering the beating she had received. She wanted to say it was okay, but it was indeed Mu Yunzhou's sister who had beaten her. She was so scared and in so much pain at the time that she wanted to give up the idea of being with her parents and just leave this world.

Seeing Wenrou's expression, Mu Yunzhou felt very distressed. He held Wenrou's hand and slapped himself hard on the face, saying, "I'm really sorry. I know it's useless for me to say anything. The person who hit you has been punished. I had someone beat her as well, and she can only stay in the cold palace from now on." Mu Yunzhou observed Wenrou's expression and saw that she had eased a little. He quickly said, "I know I'm also wrong. When your injury is better, I will take you to the border. I have already begged the emperor, and I will accompany you to the border from now on, okay?"

Wenrou looked at Mu Yunzhou like this and couldn't help but say, "General, I am very grateful that you can send me to the border to reunite with my family." She paused and changed her words to be more direct, "If the general feels sorry, it is enough to send me back to the border. The general does not have to stay there for me."

Mu Yunzhou looked at Wenrou sadly. It was true that he realized his love for Wenrou too late. As early as when Wenrou was reciting poems and painting with him, as early as when Wenrou was playing the zither and singing in harmony with him, as early as when he was happy and sad because of Wenrou, he should have realized that he had already fallen in love with this kind, beautiful and talented girl.

Mu Yunzhou opened his mouth, but found that no words could be uttered. Finally, he just said softly: "I just want to accompany you. At least let me accompany you to the border."

Wenrou heard this and said nothing more. Her body had not fully recovered yet, and she felt tired after saying a few words. She nodded helplessly and closed her eyes again.

The story of Mu Yunzhou expelling his sister from home for a woman and even submitting a petition to have her banished to the cold palace soon spread throughout the capital. Some said Mu Yunzhou was devoted to his lover, while others said he was heartless towards his family. Regardless, the story became a hot topic among the people of the capital.

Shangguan Baixu hadn't seen Wenrou for a long time. He knew that between him and Wenrou there was Mu Yunzhou, and it was obvious that Mu Yunzhou had fallen in love with Wenrou. A good friend and a person he loved, this made Shangguan Baixu very painful. He had been hiding in the restaurant drinking in recent days, trying to numb himself with alcohol.

That day, he was drinking and reciting poetry, and the poem was exactly the poem praising spring that Wenrou had written in the restaurant.

"I originally thought that General Mu was a homosexual, but I never expected that. He actually had a mistress in his house. I heard that the woman was beaten by his sister. So General Mu simply kicked his sister out of the house." A diner was drinking in a restaurant and chatting about the latest interesting news in the capital.

Shangguan Baixu's hand, holding the wine glass, suddenly stopped in mid-air. He frowned, and all he heard was the sound of Wen Rou being hit. He put down the wine glass, stood up abruptly, and ran out of the restaurant without looking back.

But when he arrived at General Mu's residence, Shangguan Baixu was still blocked outside. He slapped and screamed hard, but the guards remained indifferent.

"Don't waste your energy." Mu Yunzhou had just returned home from court and saw Shangguan Baixu and said with a frown.

Shangguan Baixu stopped knocking on the door and turned to look at his friend. The two stared at each other for a long time before Shangguan Baixu said, "You didn't let me see her, so I hid. But you didn't protect her."

Mu Yunzhou looked directly at Shangguan Baixu and said firmly, "This time, this time it was an accident. After a while, I plan to take Wenrou to the border. Her family is there. I have already asked the emperor for permission. I will take her to live in the borderland."

Shangguan Baixu frowned and questioned, "It was the Emperor who ordered the Wen family to be confiscated. Do you think he would let them go so easily? Haven't you heard that raising a tiger brings disaster?"

Mu Yunzhou looked at Shangguan Baixu calmly and explained, "So I used the tiger talisman to exchange for the safety of the Wen family. As long as I'm in the Wen family, nothing will happen."

Shangguan Baixu was stunned. He hadn't expected Mu Yunzhou to hand over the tiger talisman for Wenrou. He said in a dry voice, "If you go to the border, what will happen to the general's mansion?"

Mu Yunzhou looked at the plaque of the general's mansion and said, "Mother doesn't like Wenrou. It's unfair to both of them to let them live together. I will ask my father to come back. What my mother needs is not me, but my father's company. With me here, my father will always have an excuse to leave."

Shangguan Baixu twitched the corner of his mouth and said self-deprecatingly, "Tell me, why did you insist on bringing Wenrou to my restaurant that day? You made me suffer so much."

Mu Yunzhou looked at Shangguan Baixu quietly without saying a word. Shangguan Baixu looked up at the sky, as if he was enduring something. Then he said nothing more, but left alone in a state of despair.
