You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime
Chapter 16 The Dowry is a Banknote
General's Mansion.
After Guo Shu and her daughter returned to the general's mansion, Mu Yunge went straight back to Xianyunju.
Annan was having a lot of fun playing with a pair of flying squirrels.
Seeing the man coming back, the man and two rats stopped immediately and rushed towards Mu Yunge almost at the same time.
A gray and white flying squirrel named Huihui climbed up along the hem of Mu Yunge's skirt, and in a few steps, it climbed into Mu Yunge's arms and lay on her palm. Its two round eyes stared at Mu Yunge, looking so cute and adorable.
Annan stroked the fur of another gray-brown flying squirrel named Dudu and said, "After they arrived at Li's Grocery Store, they were very popular with the shopkeeper Yang. He even put two peanuts in each of their little cloth bags.
They already know the way, and when they come back, they come back on their own, and I am just following behind."
Mu Yunge touched the gray, furry little head.
"They can have pups this year, right?"
"Yes, the elder brother who sent the slave girl, Momonga, said that she could get pregnant in April and give birth in May."
"Well, take good care of it."
The flying squirrel is small and agile. It can run and glide. Sometimes it can accomplish things that humans cannot. It is a good messenger. When at the border, the flying squirrel's parents helped everyone a lot.
Annan threw the little flying squirrel in his arms and said, "Dudu, go find your wife."
Dudu flew straight into Mu Yunge's arms, and the two little ones snuggled together.
Mu Yunge put the two little ones on the table, took out some peanuts from his gray cloth bag, and gave one to each of them. The two little ones held the peanuts and ate them happily.
At this time, Anton, who was guarding the second room, came back.
"Miss, not long after you left, Mu Qinxue sent someone to deliver a letter to Lin Jinhao. The letter mentioned the flower viewing event at Puhua Temple at the end of the month."
Anton paused and continued, "Before you came, Li and Mu Qinxue were discussing the silver issue in the room. They said they were still short of 20,000 taels for the dowry. They spoke very quietly, so that's all we heard."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Keep watching."
After Anton left, Annan and Anxi each left with a little flying squirrel.
After a long time.
Mu Yunge gritted his teeth, "So that's how it is. Third Aunt prepared silver notes as a dowry for Mu Qinxue. No wonder I didn't hear anything."
An Bei comforted her, "Miss, it seems that the old man doesn't know about the evil things they did."
"Yes, Second Grandfather has always been very kind to our family."
An hour later, Anton hurried back to report.
"Miss, Lin Jinhao wrote back to Mu Qinxue. In the letter, he asked Mu Qinxue to quickly send the old man to the farm in the countryside. He also said that he should be kept under strict supervision and not let him get out and do anything bad."
"Okay, keep watching. When they send the old man off, one of us will follow him to see if he arrives safely at the farm and if there's someone to take care of his food and clothing."
"Yes!"
Mu Yunge breathed a sigh of relief. She had been busy preparing for her wedding and had not visited her second grandfather. She didn't know when he was sent to the farm.
Could it be that when they went to visit today and ran into Lin Jinhao, their plan to send their second grandfather to the village was accelerated?
Well, that's a possibility.
It was better for the second grandfather to go to the village. In this way, after the scandal of the couple was exposed to the public, he would be isolated from the news in the village and perhaps he could stay out of it and not get hurt by the anger.
Mu Yunge walked to the desk and sat down, writing down the relationship network of the three princes on paper in the hope of remembering more things.
Mu Yunge drew three big circles around the names of the eldest prince Zhao Hongbo, the second prince Zhao Hongyang, and the third prince Zhao Hongyi.
The three people's nominal supporters were also strung together one by one with straight lines, and each person's position and financial resources were marked.
Thinking about it this way, Mu Yunge really remembered two things.
First, the eldest prince Zhao Hongbo was ambushed and seriously injured. Even if he was healed, he would still be a disabled person with missing arms and legs.
The evidence at the scene pointed to the second prince Zhao Hongyang, but Zhao Hongyang refused to admit his guilt until his death. The emperor angrily beat him with fifty sticks, and both princes were injured.
Half a month later, the second prince was reported for running an illegal mine. The emperor was furious and demoted the second prince to a commoner and imprisoned him.
One night, the second prince hanged himself in prison. Although it was said to be suicide, anyone with a discerning eye knew it was murder.
At this point, the third prince's family was left in power.
However, both of these events occurred in late April and early May.
If the affair between the two adults is exposed in the future, will it change the course of events if I cancel the engagement?
The key is that these two things are good for both himself and the prince. The more fiercely they fight among themselves, the more beneficial it will be for himself and the prince.
Forget it, let the prince add fuel to the fire and try to keep things on track.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunge picked up a pen and wrote down the matter on paper, putting it aside for the time being, and then continued to recall things related to the third prince and the prince.
In the past, I was not familiar with the prince and did not care much about his affairs. I only heard every now and then that the prince was poisoned or injured, but I never really looked into the details of what happened.
After thinking for a long time, I didn't get any results, so I had to give up.
After dark, Mu Yunge washed up and climbed onto the bed. He leaned against the headboard and read a travelogue. He was reading with great interest when he heard Annan shout softly.
"Who?"
A deep voice came: "Miss Mu, my name is Ling Feng, and I am a secret guard beside the prince. The prince asked me to deliver a letter to you."
Mu Yunge quickly sat up straight: "Annan, bring the letter in. Lingfeng, please wait a moment."
With two responses, Mu Yunge got out of bed and sat down at the desk.
Soon, Annan brought the letter in. She took it and opened it. The letter said that the matter of the Minister of Revenue had been arranged, and the third brother had discovered that the people who surrounded and killed the secret guards of the General's Mansion had lost contact, etc.
After a brief thought, she wrote down the matter of Lin Jinhao asking Mu Qinxue to send her second grandfather to the manor, and reminded her to be careful when going out and to clean up the servants in the mansion, etc., as a reply.
Ling Feng took the letter, said thank you and disappeared on the spot.
An Nan smacked his lips. "I can't even compare to his kung fu. If only we had his kung fu!"
"If you know, don't be lazy. When you have time, intensify your practice. When the opportunity arises, I will ask the prince to send a master to guide everyone."
The kung fu of himself and the women's team were all taught by his father, brothers and secret guards. They were neither bad nor outstanding.
Especially the sisters in the women's team, they all have special talents, but are restricted by martial arts. If they can have the guidance of an expert, they will definitely improve.
"That's great. I will practice hard!" Annan jumped three feet high with joy.
Mu Yunge stood at the window and looked out, then climbed onto the bed and picked up the book to read again.
As the night grew deeper, Annan came to urge him twice before he put down the book and lay down to rest.
At the beginning of the next day at the hour of Mao, he jumped up and took a few people from all directions to do morning exercises in the yard, and stopped at the end of the hour of Mao.
Mu Yunge wiped the sweat off his forehead, went back to the room to wash and change his clothes, and then sat down at the table to eat the breakfast prepared by Nanny Jiang.
"Mammy, it seems like you haven't been home for a long time?"
