You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

An Bei calmed himself down.

"Miss, maybe they will really do this, we must take precautions early!"

"Well, among you, you have the most flexible mind and are the brains of the women's team. I let you know about my dream because, firstly, you are tight-lipped, and secondly, I want you to use your brain and help me plan more.

We must not only be on guard, but also find ways to prevent them from succeeding.

"They wanted to compete for the throne, so let them get nothing. That couple has been having an affair for a long time, so let's make their scandal public."

Mu Yunge looked out the window and continued, gritting his teeth, "I'm going to make sure they all die without a burial place!"

"Yes, I will do my best!"

Mu Yunge finished writing the letter, blew the ink dry, and after making sure that the handwriting was no longer visible, he put it in an envelope and called out to the outside of the house: "Anxi!"

Anxi flashed in.

"Go call Uncle Mu Chun and Mu Rong and tell them I have something urgent for them to do."

A moment later, the secret guards Mu Chun and Mu Rong came forward to receive their orders: "Miss, what do you want us to do?"

Mu Yunge handed the letter to Mu Chun.

"Uncle Mu, this letter concerns the life and death of the General's Mansion and the Mu clan.

Tonight, I will create an opportunity for you. You two will leave the house during the chaos and deliver the letter to my father at the border. Remember to avoid my third uncle Mu Yihui.

Be careful when you leave the General's Mansion and don't let anyone spot you. If you encounter any special circumstances on the way, you can destroy the letter to save yourselves."

Mu Chun knew the seriousness of the situation as soon as he heard it, and solemnly replied: "Don't worry, Miss, we two will definitely fulfill your mission!"

"Well, go get ready. Be safe on the road. I'll give you a month off when I get back!"

The two men saluted and left.

After arranging everything, Mu Yunge lay back on the bed again.

"I'll sleep a little longer. Wake me up at lunchtime. I need to be well rested and well fed so I can have the energy to deal with that vicious mother and daughter."

An Bei helped Mu Yunge lie down: "You can sleep peacefully, I will take care of everything!"

Seeing his young lady fall asleep again, a cold light flashed in An Bei's eyes.

Miss, is this dream a warning from God?

It should be!

The young lady's family is full of loyal and brave people who have rescued thousands of poor people on the border. God could not bear to see them end up in such a tragic way.

The most hateful ones are Mu Yihui and Mu Qinxue. How dare they?

Lunch time.

Guo Shu had the food delivered to Mu Yunge's Xianyunju.

An Bei woke her up: "Miss, Madam has sent the food over. Hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

Mu Yunge woke up instantly, jumped out of bed, sat at the table, picked up the bowl and started eating.

After eating and drinking his fill, he put down his bowl, stood up lazily, and walked to the window, looking thoughtfully at the hibiscus tree in the garden, which was originally bare but now had begun to sprout new buds.

The warm sunlight, streaming through the open window, fell upon her pretty little face, casting a faint golden glow on her smooth and delicate skin.

After a long moment, she slowly spoke, "Anbei, how much benefit has Mu Qinxue gained from me in the past six months since we returned to Beijing?"

"Miss, I did a rough rundown earlier. She alone asked to borrow three hundred and fifty taels of silver, two pieces of Yuehua brocade, one piece of Xiangyun gauze, a set of jeweled head ornaments, and a pair of jade bracelets..."

"Well, make a list of the things I gave her and the things she asked for."

An Bei's eyes flashed with joy: "Miss, she has made clothes out of those pieces of cloth, so let's convert them into silver."

"Good! I'm short on money these days."

An Bei smiled and said, "Yes, the young lady wants to buy some jewelry for her dowry. She needs money, but it's not convenient to ask Madam for it."

The end of the last hour (around 15:00).

An Nan came to report: "Miss, Mu Qinxue and her daughter have arrived at the gate of the mansion."

"Okay, I understand. Wait a minute, when Li goes to my mother's place, you and Anxi will go with her."

Annan agreed and left.

Mu Yunge gritted her teeth and sneered, then lay back on the bed and pressed a few acupuncture points on herself. Her face quickly turned pale and she looked sick.

"Speaking of which, the Second House and the General's Mansion are only two streets apart, only an incense stick's worth of walking time. They always come in a carriage, putting on a big show in front of outsiders, but then they try to ask for favors from us."

An Bei curled his lips and continued, "Miss, it takes a lot of money to prepare a dowry. The General's Mansion is a noble family, without a deep pocket. We really can't come up with a decent dowry. You are angry with the Madam right now."

"That's right, I'm going to ignore mother. Such a shabby dowry is a disgrace to our general's mansion, isn't it? Woo woo..."

As the master and servant were singing in unison, they heard a series of footsteps approaching from afar.

"Woooo..."

Mu Qinxue and her daughter walked in.

"Sister, you finally woke up!" Mu Qinxue took a few quick steps and sat on the edge of the bed.

Mrs. Li also came to the bedside: "Ge'er, you just woke up, why are you crying? Tell me what's wronged you, and I will take care of it for you."

Mu Yunge resisted the urge to tear them apart, wiped his eyes with An Bei's handkerchief smeared with chili powder, and tears rolled down his face like beads from a broken string.

"Wow... Third Aunt, Mother told me earlier that Father wanted to embezzle the money from the mansion to rescue a group of refugees. Now there is no money left, so he can only give me forty loads of dowry.

You said that forty loads of dowry is too little. How can I survive in the capital and the Duke's Mansion in the future? "

"How could it be possible that there are only forty people carrying the dowry?" Li was surprised for a moment, then came to her senses and comforted him.

"Be good, don't cry! Wait a minute, Third Aunt will tell your mother that she can't take care of your two brothers in everything. She treats you badly. How can a family like ours afford forty loads of dowry?"

Mu Qinxue nodded in agreement: "Yes, for an official family like the General's Mansion, the minimum dowry is 60 loads, the average one 80, the good one 100, and the best one 120."

Mu Yunge wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief again, but the tears kept flowing and her face looked paler and paler.

Li seemed to be considerate and stopped the topic: "Ge'er, I heard that you woke up around noon. You are in good health. Don't cry."

Mu Qinxue apologized, "Come to think of it, it's my fault. I accidentally bumped into my sister, and that's why she fell into the water and became so sick. I'm so sorry to her."

As she spoke, she squeezed out two tears, "Sister, I didn't mean it. You are always generous, you will forgive me, right?"

Oh, not forgiving means you’re not generous?

"Xue'er, your first reaction after spraining your ankle should be to fall down or grab someone next to you for support. Why did you hit me with such force with your elbow?"

Mu Qinxue looked innocent: "I don't know either. Maybe I just instinctively brushed my hand and bumped into my sister. It's all my fault."

"Well, it's indeed your fault! Because of you, I fell ill and was in a coma for two days. You should have brought a gift to apologize, right?"

"I came, and you were not awake when I came. Look, mother and I are here again."

Mu Yunge put on a face full of joy: "What valuable gifts did you bring? Come on, come on, show me."

"Sister, I brought you some red date cakes that I made myself, try them!"

As she spoke, Mu Qinxue waved to the maid who followed her, and the maid placed the red date cake she brought on the low table beside the bed.

Mu Yunge's face fell in disappointment. "You came here to apologize and visit the patient, and this is all you brought?"

Mu Qinxue felt a little embarrassed and looked up at Mu Yunge.

This idiot seems different today...
