Chapter 134: The Widow with Many Troublesome People (2)

Even though it was late at night and even though Mu Zhou was hiding behind a big tree, he still felt that Chu Jinyao's cold gaze was as real as if he wanted to skin him alive.

"come out."

His indifferent voice suddenly sounded, and another soldier beside him immediately became alert and walked towards Mu Zhou with a big knife in hand.

Mu Zhou hurried out holding the hem of her skirt.

She fell to her knees:

"I am Mu Zhou, a commoner. I would like to thank the generals for bringing Brother Lin Yang back. I was unable to entertain him properly during the day, so I specially brought some food and homemade wine. I hope the generals will not mind."

Many people who died on the battlefield could not preserve their bodies and could only return with their identity tags.

The fact that Lin Yang's body was brought back intact must have been due to the great efforts of his companions.

During the day, Mu Zhou was busy crying and fainted without expressing her gratitude, so others naturally did not blame her. Now that she came to deliver things, the soldier did not refuse. He accepted the several jars of wine and the things in the basket, then waved and whispered a few words to the soldier.

After a while, a young soldier was led to Mu Zhou.

After learning that it was the other party who risked his life to bring Lin Yang back on the tragic battlefield, Mu Zhou, who was helped up, knelt down again.

But the other party moved quickly and supported her arm before she fell to her knees:

"Sister-in-law, there's no need for such a grand gesture. Brother Yang once saved my life, and I already feel extremely guilty for not being able to save him. If I can't even bring back his body, I won't be able to face his family."

The young soldier looked very young, probably in his teens, about the same age as Mu Zhou. He was not very strong and looked more like a weak scholar.

Mu Zhou looked at him silently, shedding two lines of tears.

Just as she raised her sleeve to wipe the tears from her chin and lowered her eyes in sorrow, she heard the young soldier say to her:

"Sister-in-law, before Brother Yang died, he told me that if I could see you, he would let me tell you that I'm sorry and can't protect you anymore. You must be careful in the future, take good care of yourself, and find a good man."

After the young soldier finished speaking, the sadness in Mu Zhou's eyes became more sincere.

Lin Yang was indeed a good man. He was still worried about the original owner before he died.

His worries were not unreasonable. After all, the original owner was drowned in the pond as soon as he left.

In the original plot, she died too quickly. In order to save face, the villagers did not tell the truth to the public and only said that she was too sad and committed suicide by jumping into the river.

I didn't even get to hear Lin Yang's last words.

Mu Zhou sat under a tree, holding a handkerchief in his hand.

This was the handkerchief Chu Caiyan handed to her when she saw her crying so hard.

At this time, only Chu Jinyao, Chu Caiyan and a person with a very low presence who looked like Chu Jinyao's bodyguard were left by the river.

Despite Mu Zhou's sincere outpouring of emotion just now, Chu Jinyao remained indifferent.

Apart from saying 'come out' to her at the beginning, he never looked at her again.

The favorability level has remained at 0%, with no fluctuations at all. Mu Zhou even suspects that this person is emotionally cold.

At this time, he had already sat down, wiping a long knife.

Mu Zhou folded the handkerchief and walked in front of Chu Caiyan.

Chu Caiyan thought she was here to return the handkerchief, and was about to reach out to take it when she saw the woman in front of her kneeling directly in front of her.

She was startled.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Mu Zhou refused to stand up and insisted on kneeling.

She was wearing a thin mourning dress, looking so fragile that she seemed like she would be blown away by a stronger wind.

"You saved my life in broad daylight. I know you are a kind-hearted person. Please save me."

Chu Caiyan was a little flustered and subconsciously looked at Chu Jinyao, but he ignored her completely.

Mu Zhou also took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

"I can no longer survive in Luze Village. I beg you to take me away."

The original owner had a distant aunt who married and moved to the capital a few years ago. Mu Zhou wanted to follow them to the capital under the pretext of seeking refuge.

After all, she was a weak woman, the journey was long, and it was too unsafe to travel alone.

Chu Caiyan was a little confused after hearing this: "Why do you say that you can't survive in Luze Village?"

Although she has not been here for a long time, she can see that the people here are simple and honest.

Hearing her ask this, Mu Zhou's eyes revealed helpless despair.

She told her story in detail.

From the time her parents passed away and her uncle and aunt seized the family property, to the time she was about to be sold to a wealthy man as a concubine, and then to her marriage to Lin Yang.

Chu Caiyan was very angry after hearing this, and she thought that she must help the martyr's widow to vent her anger. She guessed:

"Are you worried that your uncle and aunt will marry you off to someone else?"

It would be fine if she didn’t know, but now that she knew, she must help her sister-in-law get it back.

Mu Zhou nodded, then shook his head with tears in his eyes:

"more than."

She was also afraid of Muramasa.

Muramasa Lida is a widower who is more than ten years older than Mu Zhou.

When Uncle Mu Zhou wanted to marry her off, Li Da had already thought about it.

But Li Da was reluctant to spend money, so he used Muramasa's power to force him.

Later, Lin Yang took out all his family assets, and his uncle immediately agreed.

Li Da had no choice. Although he had feelings for the original owner, he was unwilling to spend money to marry her.

On the day when the news of Lin Yang's death came, Li Da went to the original owner's house and told her frankly that she was already a widow. As long as she gave herself to him, he would take good care of her in the future.

There are always troubles around a widow, and her life will be difficult if she has no one to support her.

Li Da used this to threaten the original owner.

But the original owner had already made up her mind to die, so she naturally wouldn't agree. She beat and scolded the man and kicked him out.

Li Da held a grudge against the original owner, so he spread those rumors and took the opportunity to trap the original owner and make her submit.

Who knew that the original owner would rather die than surrender.

Mu Zhou knew all this, so he went to find the more prestigious clan leader first, hoping that he could come forward and make Li Da pay the price.

Mu Zhou naturally did not say what happened next.

She just exaggerated the unbearable thoughts and oppression that Muramasa had inflicted on her.

He said frankly that if he stayed, his life would be difficult.

Since her late husband had left a will asking her to live well, she planned to leave here and go to the capital to live with her aunt.

After hearing this, Chu Caiyan, who always did not tolerate any sand in her eyes, immediately drew out the flower spear at her side:

"You bastard, you're going too far!"

She was about to lose control and go find Muramasa, when Chu Jinyao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:

"Chu Yan."

He called out Chu Caiyan's pseudonym in the army in a calm voice, stopping her movements.

Then his eyes turned and looked at Mu Zhou:

"Mrs. Lin said she wants Chu Yan to take you away. In what capacity do you want to follow him?"

His cold and sharp eyes fell on Mu Zhou, almost seeing through him.

Chu Jinyao's meaning was very clear.

He was hinting that Mu Zhou had feelings for Chu Caiyan.

Chu Caiyan also calmed down and looked at Mu Zhou with scrutiny.

After soldiers died in battle, some of their widows were extremely sad, while others had no feelings and would have other thoughts.

Chu Caiyan naturally saw a lot along the way.

As far as she knew, Lin Yang and his wife went to the battlefield right after they got married, and it seemed that they did not have much affection for each other.

Perhaps, the woman in front of him saw that she had an extraordinary family background and a high rank in the military camp, so she was planning to rely on her.

Thinking of this, Chu Caiyan took a few steps back cautiously.

Because of Chu Jinyao's words, the situation took a turn for the worse.

But Mu Zhou was not panicked.

She raised her tearful almond eyes, bit her lower lip hesitantly, and said to Chu Caiyan:

"I, this humble woman, know that the general is a woman, so I dare to ask for your help."
