Quick Wear: The soft cannon fodder turns into a heartthrob and seduce

After the people who delivered the reward and Song Yurou had all left, Mu Zhou finally had the chance to thank Song Wenchao:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No need. You should rest well. I will explain this to my mother and ask her to arrange for a few more servants to protect you."

Song Wenchao thought of Song Yurou's arrogant look just now and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

If he hadn't happened to arrive, Mu Zhou didn't know how badly he would have been bullied.

It seems that Song Yurou hasn't learned enough of her lesson.

Song Wenchao had other things to do, so he left quickly after giving him a few instructions.

Only after he left did Mu Zhou notice the rewards.

In addition to some rare treasures and precious medicinal herbs, there were also one thousand taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold.

Mu Zhou was a little surprised. Was the emperor's reward so practical?

Of course, she would never have thought that Song Wenchao bought this for her because he knew she was short of money.

Mu Zhou took out some supplements from the imperial gifts and prepared to give them to the first lady and the old lady.

The Prince of Qi's Mansion is not short of valuables, and the medicinal supplements in the palace are suitable.

When she arrived at the old lady's cabinet, she heard the nanny say that Mrs. Shu and the eldest daughter were inside.

Song Wenchao saved Shu Yuyan, so it was only natural for them to come and thank him.

If it happened on any other day, such a heroic act of saving a beauty would have probably caused an uproar, but because Mu Zhou intervened, the attention of the entire capital was now drawn to her.

It is indeed more refreshing that a delicate young lady actually saved the Prince of Qi, Song Wenchao.

Shu Yuyan's plan failed. Now she can only hope to get acquainted with the old lady and leave a good impression.

Mu Zhou knew it was inconvenient for him to go in, so he handed it over to the nanny and prepared to leave.

Who knew that before leaving, the people around the old lady came out:

"Miss, the old lady heard you were here and asked you to come in."

The servants in the palace were also very good at adapting to the situation. The attitudes of several masters in the palace towards Mu Zhou had obviously improved a lot, and with the emperor's verbal praise, they naturally had more respect for Mu Zhou.

When Mu Zhou entered, he saw that the old lady and the eldest lady were there, and sitting on the side were the mother and daughter of the Shu family.

Mu Zhou greeted everyone one by one and sat down.

Now that everyone knows that Mu Zhou is praised by the emperor, Mrs. Shu naturally can't help but flatter him, and the old lady and others are also happy to hear it.

Although Shu Yuyan had a smile on her lips, that smile did not reach her eyes. There was even a hint of malice in her eyes when she looked at Mu Zhou.

If Mu Zhou had not ruined her plan, she would have been the one who saved Song Wenchao and was highly praised.

She held the handkerchief tightly in her hand, trying to suppress the anger in her heart.

At this moment, the topic of the elders in the warm room somehow turned to the children's marriage. Madam Shu's expression changed, and she put Shu Yuyan and Song Wenchao together with a hint of meaning, and said:

"The prince is very busy with official duties, so the family should be taken care of by a mistress who is well-educated, well-mannered, and gentle."

Although Mrs. Shu did not think Song Wenchao was a good husband, she could not resist her daughter's liking for him. It would naturally be better if the couple had affection for each other, and the two families' family backgrounds were also compatible, so she was willing to give her daughter a chance.

As soon as she said this, the old lady and the eldest lady also showed some sadness on their faces.

They naturally thought so too.

Such words have been mentioned before, but Song Wenchao has remained unmoved.

Over the years, as his temperament became increasingly cold and fierce, and his position in the court became more solid, he hardly even listened to the words of the King of Qi, and no one could persuade him.

Although Song Wenchao was an extremely outstanding man and all the ladies in the capital envied him, they still felt uneasy that he could not get married.

But even so, they didn't dare to directly go over Song Wenchao and agree to anything.

Mrs. Shu's words clearly indicated her desire to marry. They were also very satisfied with Shu Yuyan, as she was beautiful, had a good family background, and was a famous talented woman in the capital.

But even so, they just laughed it off:

"Yes, Chao'er is old enough."

Then he talked about something else.

Mrs. Shu was a little worried when she saw that the old lady did not respond.

What does this mean? Why is the old lady avoiding her even though it’s so obvious?

Could it be that there is another candidate?

As a result, Mrs. Shu had no choice but to tactfully skip this topic.

They are daughters, so we can't push them too much.

But Shu Yuyan next to her sounded anxious.

After the elders talked for a while, she stood up and said:

"I was saved by the prince from the bandits. The situation was chaotic at the time, so I couldn't thank him in person. If I can't express my gratitude to him in person, Yu Yan will feel uneasy."

This was not an excessive matter, but the eldest lady was a little embarrassed.

However, Song Wenchao had probably left the court by this time, and it would seem awkward to disagree, as if she looked down on the Shu family. She could only send someone to invite him.

But she knew in her heart that she couldn't invite anyone.

Song Wenchao is not the kind of person who would bother with these things.

The eldest lady had already thought about what excuse she would use to appease Shu Yuyan after the nanny came back to report.

But what she didn't expect was that the nanny actually invited someone over.

There must be something fishy going on with such an abnormality.

In an instant, the eldest lady thought of Shu Yuyan.

Could it be that her son came for her?

Thinking of this, she began to observe consciously and silently.

But this observation was not important, she actually discovered something unusual.

Song Wenchao treated Shu Yuyan quite well. He didn't even look at her since he sat down. Even when Shu Yuyan thanked him and gave her a gift, he remained indifferent.

The thank-you gift was an authentic work of calligraphy by a great calligrapher, whom Song Wenchao admired very much. It should have touched his heart.

But he didn't have any unnecessary emotions.

But at a certain moment, his expression suddenly changed.

The eldest lady followed his gaze and found that his eyes were actually on Mu Zhou.

Just now, when the maid brought the roasted walnuts to her, Mu Zhou was accidentally scalded. She did not say anything, but she could not help frowning and gently blew her fingers to her lips.

Such a small movement would be difficult to detect unless you pay close attention.

Could it be that her son has been thinking about Mu Zhou ever since he came in?

Yes, the tension and worry just now were almost all written on his face.

The eldest lady was secretly shocked, but she didn't dare to believe it.

In order to verify it, she quietly told the nanny behind her a few words. After receiving the instructions, the nanny immediately went to make arrangements.

After a while, a little maid came up to serve tea, but when she passed Mu Zhou, she accidentally twisted her ankle and spilled some tea on Mu Zhou's skirt.

Mu Zhou looked at the maid in confusion, but still smiled to show that he was fine. The eldest lady also scolded the maid.

Mu Zhou also took this opportunity to say goodbye.

After leaving the warm room, Mu Zhou thought about what had just happened.

The maid had obviously sprained her ankle on purpose besides her, and the tea wasn't even hot.

Logically speaking, the tea served in this season should be at least 80% hot, and it is just right to drink it slowly.

It seemed as if the tea was deliberately poured on her, but he was afraid of hurting her, so he didn't dare to use hot tea.
