You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Mu Yunge moved his body and rested his head in his mother's arms.

"I'm fine. I'm sorry for making mother worry."

Guo Shu lowered her head and gently stroked Mu Yunge's cheek with her hand: "Silly child, if mother doesn't worry about you, then why would she worry about outsiders?"

Mu Yunge simply put his face on his mother's chest, listening to her rhythmic heartbeat, feeling her vibrant life, and letting the joy of regaining what he had lost fill his whole body and mind.

Mother is still alive, everyone is still alive!!!

Guo Shu just thought Mu Yunge was sick and clingy, "Okay, you should rest well. Your Third Aunt and Xue'er came to see you earlier. Seeing that you were still unconscious, they said they would come back later to apologize.

Besides, your Third Aunt said she was worried that I would be too tired to prepare the dowry, so she would come to help from tomorrow. You know your Third Aunt's temper, and I'm worried about how to refuse her."

Mu Yunge's eyes darkened.

She came to help prepare the dowry?

Ha ha……

If nothing unexpected happens, all of her beautiful wedding gifts should end up in Mu Qinxue's hands. She has a very good plan.

Mu Yunge glanced at the people in the boudoir and said, "You guys go down first. I have something personal to say to mother."

"Yes!" Nanny Jiang led everyone out.

Guo Shu watched them leave the boudoir before patting Mu Yunge on the back and teasing, "Ge'er, aren't they all your confidants? You said before that you never avoided them."

"They are indeed loyal servants who have accompanied me through life and death. I am not avoiding them, I just want to talk to mother alone for a while."

Her daughter, who had always been carefree, had become different after a serious illness. Guo Shu was full of doubts. "Tell me, I'm listening."

"Mother, I've been comatose these past two days and had a terrible dream. I don't want to marry Lin Jinhao anymore. I want to cancel the engagement!"

"Cancel the engagement? The emperor has granted the marriage, how can we cancel it just like that?!" Guo Shu's brows were twisted into the shape of a "川" character.

Mu Yunge bit her lip, holding back the tears in her eyes, and hesitated whether to tell her mother everything she had experienced with the General's Mansion and the Mu family.

Now that nothing has happened, how can I gain her trust?

If I say it, it has no basis or proof, and only adds to my worries;

If he doesn't tell others, he is afraid that he will be powerless and unable to protect his family, and that his family will repeat the same mistakes.

Seeing Mu Yunge hesitate to speak, Guo Shu became anxious, "Tell me, what happened? Why do you suddenly want to cancel the engagement?"

Mu Yunge pondered for a moment and evaded the main point, "Mother, it was Mu Qinxue who deliberately bumped into me when I fell into the water in the palace. She and Lin Jinhao have been secretly in love for a long time."

"What? Are you serious?"

"It's absolutely true! Lin Jinhao's repeated requests for marriage aren't because he truly wants to marry me. Instead, the Third Prince, Zhao Hongyi, is vying for the throne and needs the military power of the General's Mansion to build momentum. Once their goal is achieved, it will be our end.

Although I cannot provide evidence for these things now, I will slowly prove them to you.

Don't ask anything for now. Just remember my words: don't alert the people of the Second House, but be on guard against being bitten by a venomous snake at all times."

"You mean, the second branch sided with them and conspired with them to harm us, and that's why you had the nightmare?" Guo Shu covered her chest, unable to accept this fact.

"No wonder your Third Aunt and Xue'er are the most enthusiastic about this marriage, trying their best to promote it and speaking highly of Lin Jinhao.

Don't worry, mother knows what to do. It's better not to have this marriage that is full of calculations.

However, breaking off an engagement is no joke; we must be right and find the right time and reason."

Guo Shu thought that Mu Yunge had heard some secret at the palace banquet and believed what Mu Yunge said without a doubt.

This unconditional trust made Mu Yunge kiss her cheek happily: "Well, I will take care of it. You don't need to prepare the dowry. Don't tire yourself out."

The two mother and daughter chatted quietly for a while before Guo Shu stood up and said, "You should take a good rest and get well first."

After watching his mother leave, Mu Yunge stood up from the bed and said, "Come in, all of you!"

Several maids from all directions excitedly crowded into the room and asked, "Miss, do you have a task for us?"

Mu Yunge looked at the people who quickly stood in a row one by one.

Anton is calm and steady, Annan is naughty and likes to nag, Anxi is bold and hates evil, and Anbei is introverted and intelligent.

They grew up in the army with him and are used to being decisive and swift. Their words and actions are full of the spirit of military men.

Later, with the advice and help of her father and brothers, she formed a 30-member female guard team.

They were not only his maids but also the leaders of the women's team. All the team members were orphans and homeless children with special talents. They often followed him and his father and brothers to fight the enemy and had made many military achievements.

Thinking of his women's team, Mu Yunge felt a pang of pain in his heart.

On the wedding day, only four people from the east, south, west and north followed, and the other members all stayed in the general's mansion. I wonder if they would have a chance to escape if something happened?

Those beasts really think highly of me and sent so many Dragon Shadow Guards to deal with me.

Mu Yunge pulled his thoughts back to their original state.

In the past six months since I returned to Beijing, my mother has forced me to learn the rules and manners of the young ladies in Beijing, and even the girls from all over the country have followed suit.

Now they don't have to be restrained anymore and can resume practicing. Everyone has a smile on their face and their mouths are stretched to their ears.

"You've worked hard to learn the rules and etiquette from me these past few months. Now you don't have to be so restrained. Just do as you should."

Mu Yunge paused and reminded, "But this is the capital after all. We still have to observe proper etiquette in front of outsiders."

"Yes! Don't worry, Miss. We won't bring shame to the General's Mansion or to Miss!"

"Well, Anton, I have a very important task for you. Take the sisters in the team who are good at tracking and gathering information, and keep a close eye on the people in the second house, especially Mu Qinxue.

If they make any unusual movements, please report back promptly, and be careful to avoid spies outside the palace so as not to alert the enemy."

"Yes!" Anton took the order and left.

Annan and Anxi were anxious: "Miss, what about us?"

"You three will stay here for now. Once there's news from Anton, it's time for you to act. Anbei, prepare some special ink. I need to write a letter to my father and brothers!"

An Nan pouted and said, "I'll go help Nanny Jiang. Miss, after you finish writing the letter, you should go back to bed. You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you need to take good care of yourself..."

"Got it!" Mu Yunge responded with a smile.

An Xi looked at Mu Yunge, and seeing that she had no other instructions, she followed her out of the boudoir and stood outside the door.

Mu Yunge sat down in front of the window and took up his pen to write down everything he and the General's Mansion had experienced in a dream-like manner in a letter. He repeatedly reminded his father and brother to be on guard against his third uncle Mu Yihui and his son, and to strike first if necessary.

When An Bei saw what Mu Yunge wrote, he was shocked and his brows became more and more furrowed.

In the young lady's dream, those people acted very carefully and calculated every step. It was impossible that they acted on impulse, but rather seemed to have planned it for a long time.

No wonder the young lady's character changed so much when she woke up after two days of coma. Anyone who has such a dream will be warned...
