Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Propose a marriage? She has no maternal family and no family background. Even if Madam Mu came to propose marriage in person, how many people would give her face? They would just say some nice excuses to refuse.

Liao Zhirou knew it well, and a bit of anger surged in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it at this moment. She could only put on a panic look and stood up to explain tactfully.

"Please forgive me, Madam. I just really want to have more family members. I don't intend to climb into the Mu family."

Everyone knows it very well.

Mu Qingli snorted in his heart, raised his eyes and smiled nonchalantly, his voice soft and gentle, as if he didn't care about her existence at all.

"Miss Liao, right? No need to explain in a hurry. We all know that you come from a good family. You definitely don't insist on being our adopted daughter.

So we just happened to be hoping to compensate you for this favor in this way. After all, the most important thing for a girl is a dowry, right?"

Qiu Jin and Qi Lan looked at each other without saying a word, and quietly lowered their eyes to hide the smiles in their eyes.

The girl's words were really heartbreaking. What kind of girl from a good family would want to get close to the Mu family and become their adopted daughter? Wasn't she telling me directly that you are not a girl from a good family?

It's no wonder that Liao Zhirou really felt this way. The fingers tucked into her sleeves suddenly tightened a bit, and the smile on her face, which was just now, became a little stiff, and sounded dry.

"...Yes, Miss Mu is right. Zhirou also means the same thing. However, it was General Mu who took the initiative to promise this in front of others. Zhirou is just worried that if someone uses this matter to make accusations in the future, it would not be good for the Mu family. It doesn't mean that Zhirou must be this adopted daughter."

Seeing that the other party had already brought up the matter of adopting a daughter, Cheng Qin no longer hesitated and directly made the matter a decision with a stern face.

"Since the Mu family has agreed to this, then naturally we will be the ones to handle the follow-up. Moreover, I believe that if the Mu family and you, Miss Liao, keep your mouth shut and have no complaints, then there will surely be no one outside who will gossip about it. If there is anyone, I'm afraid it will be someone with ulterior motives.

I believe that the girl is so kind and sensible that she will definitely not do this. Don't worry, this money is enough for her to live a good life in Beijing, and she can even marry a man of her dreams.

I also believe that your father would rest in peace in his grave if he saw his daughter with money and a future husband to support her. Speaking of which, the status of adopted daughter is of little use, after all, she will eventually marry."

This mother and daughter are both very good at talking. If she doesn't agree now, she will probably become the person they call a scheming person, and everything will be her fault.

Liao Zhirou hadn't encountered such a thing for a long time. She was so angry that she almost choked to death. But it was not a good time to turn against the Mu family at this moment. She had to soften her expression and nodded obediently.

"I will listen to you, Madam. Whatever you say is what I will do. However, I don't have many relatives around me anymore. You can just treat me as a half-relative. I hope I can come to the Mu family often to visit Madam and the General in the future."

Mu Qingli looked at the beautiful face opposite him, slowly eating the pastries on the table with his eyebrows lowered to hide the murderous intent in his eyes.

If possible, she would like to get rid of the person just like that. The hatred in her past and present lives has changed her a lot. If she hadn't been concerned about her father's reputation, she really wanted to kill her with her own hands to avenge her.

Cheng Qin did not respond to this, but changed the subject gently with a light tone.

"Miss Liao is so smart and sensible. She will definitely make a lot of friends once she settles down in Beijing. If she's lucky, she might even meet someone she likes soon. Then, when she has her own little family, how can she still worry about not having any relatives around her?"

The person who handed me the ladder didn't say a word!

Liao Zhirou hated it in her heart, but she had to smile along and looked a little shy.

"Then I'll take my blessings, Madam. I hope I can settle down in Jinghua in the future. That way, my father can rest in peace in his grave and no longer worry about Zhirou."

Cheng Qin glanced at her and saw her husband and son walking quickly towards the main hall door, so she immediately stood up with a smile.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You've all worked hard coming here. We've prepared a banquet at our house. Why don't you go have a meal first? After dinner, I'll have someone take you to see the farm."

Mu Qingli casually took out a towel and skillfully wiped his fingers, then handed the thing to Qiu Jin to keep. Girls' things usually have half of their names embroidered on them, and it would be bad if they were left outside and picked up by someone.

Liao Zhirou was angry and resentful in her heart, but she couldn't say anything at this time. She secretly vowed in her heart that she must work hard to stand at the pinnacle of power in the future. If she had someone protecting her, how could she be so embarrassed to be rejected again and again!

Mu Yuan was a carefree person, so he naturally didn't notice the strange atmosphere between the female relatives. He smiled and took his wife to eat. The couple also chatted quietly, and it was obvious that they were deeply in love.

Mu Fushu and his sister had long been accustomed to it. They glanced at Liao Zhirou beside their sister, then stood on the other side of their sister without saying a word and spoke to her softly.

"Today I asked the kitchen to make you your favorite soup. You can drink more later. Shao Heng said he would take us on an outing this afternoon and won't be back for dinner. If you want to eat something, just ask the kitchen to make it in advance so we can take it on the road."

Gu Luoheng had already sent someone to deliver a letter to tell her about this in advance. Mu Qingli knew about it and immediately smiled and nodded, turning to look at the maids following behind her.

"Got it. You guys can go tell the kitchen what you want to eat. Otherwise, if your favorite food is not available, there will be another commotion."

Hearing that they were talking about her, Qilan pouted but her eyes were full of smiles. "Yes, yes, the servants know about it too. I'll tell the kitchen later."

Along the way, Liao Zhirou wanted to find an opportunity to get closer to Mu Fushu or Mu Qingli, but they were chatting so happily and naturally that she didn't have any chance to interrupt. In the end, she could only grit her teeth and go to dinner with them.

Cheng Qin really did what he said. After dinner, he arranged for his close confidants to take Liao Zhirou and her maid to see the farm that was given to them, and he also generously gave her a carriage as a gift.

In the end, Liao Zhirou didn't find a chance to talk to Mu Yuan alone, so she had to leave with resentment, feeling extremely anxious in her heart.

This was completely different from what she had originally imagined. Madam Mu was clearly a kind and straightforward person, so why was she so wary of her?

As soon as the master and servant left, Cheng Qin's face darkened. She frowned and looked at her husband beside her, speaking in a bad mood.

"You really are causing me trouble."
