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

Chapter 222: The Frail and Delicate Cousin (21)

Because Mu Zhou and Song Wenchao came out of the room at the same time, the young lady subconsciously assumed that they had been in the room all the time.

Soon, others helped to confirm:

"That's right. I didn't go to the window because I wasn't feeling well. I stayed here the whole time, but I didn't see Miss Mu come into the room from outside."

In this way, Mu Zhou, who had been staying in the side room, would not be able to push Shu Yuyan into the water.

Mu Zhou, who was suddenly accused by Shu Yuyan, had a look of confusion on his face that was just right, as if he had no way to defend himself.

Song Wenchao knew that she would not lie and did not want to embarrass her, so he stood in front of her.

His face was grim, and he looked straight at Shu Yuyan through the crowd, with a flash of cruelty in his eyes.

Song Wenchao recalled that scene.

He just followed Mu Zhou subconsciously, but he didn't expect to see such a thrilling scene.

Just a little bit, and it was Mu Zhou who fell into the lake.

Fortunately, Shu Yuyan got what she deserved.

She was lucky enough to be rescued and saved her life, but Song Wenchao had no intention of letting her go.

He glanced at the third prince out of the corner of his eye.

He knew very well what the Third Prince was planning.

Many of the servants around the princesses could swim, so there was no need for him to go into the water to rescue them himself.

He deliberately rescued Shu Yuyan in public, just to force Shu Xiang to stand on his side.

Previously, after weighing the pros and cons, he gave up Shu Yuyan and married the daughter of a general who was more beneficial to him, but now that he has the opportunity to marry Shu Yuyan as a concubine, he certainly will not miss it.

However, no matter whether it is the Third Prince or Shu Yuyan, they will not have many peaceful days left.

Shu Yuyan wanted to argue with her, but everyone else was making excuses for Mu Zhou, and some even thought that she was confused because she had fallen on her head.

Song Wenchao's eyes were full of threats.

She knew that this was the only way it could be.

Shu Yuyan glared hatefully at Mu Zhou who was blocked by Song Wenchao.

She will definitely avenge this!

Because Shu Yuyan fell into the water, the poetry reading ended early.

After returning to Prince Qi's Mansion, Mu Zhou did not wait for Song Wenchao. He quickly got off the carriage and left in a hurry.

Like he's hiding from something.

But where can she hide?

After all, the entire Prince Qi's Mansion is under the control of the Prince Qi.

She resisted now, and Song Wenchao did not push her too hard.

He thought he was indulgent enough to her.

Unexpectedly, Mu Zhou gave him a "surprise" the next day.

Today is the day to pay respects to the old lady.

After talking for a while, the old lady became tired and asked everyone to leave.

But Mu Zhou didn't leave.

"Madam, Zhou'er has something to ask of you."

Song Wenchao raised his eyebrows.

He looked at Mu Zhou and saw that she was avoiding his gaze, looking guilty. For some reason, he felt uneasy.

So he didn't get up.

Mu Zhou caught a glimpse of him not moving and felt a little anxious.

At this time, the other younger generations had already left, leaving only the old lady, the first lady and the second lady.

Mu Zhou had no choice but to take out a letter under Song Wenchao's oppressive gaze.

"Madam, this is the letter my mother asked me to give you."

The old lady took it, opened the letter, read it, and then smiled:

"I see."

She asked the nanny to take the letter to the eldest lady and said with emotion:

"A few days ago, I was wondering how much trouble you had to take with Zhou'er's marriage. I didn't expect that fate would come to us this soon."

Xie Zhaoqing wrote in the letter that she was grateful for the care given by Prince Qi's Mansion over the years, and she was grateful, and then she talked about Mu Zhou.

Mu Zhou's father had verbally arranged a marriage for her. When the mother and daughter met with misfortune and left, he thought the matter was over. However, he did not expect that the other party had not forgotten and had already written a letter to ask about it.

In this case, she thought she should follow her late husband's wishes and marry Mu Zhou to the other party.

Moreover, the other party knows everything about me and has a similar family background.

The old lady naturally had no objection.

She smiled and took Mu Zhou's hand: "When you get married, the Prince Qi's Mansion will definitely prepare a dowry for you so that you won't be looked down upon."

Mu Zhou lowered his head shyly.

On their side, the grandparents and grandchildren were having a great time with laughter, but on the other side, the eldest lady looked a little embarrassed after reading the letter.

She looked at her son.

Song Wenchao took the letter away with a cold expression.

After a few casual glances, the corner of the letter he was holding was already crumpled, and the murderous intent began to spread.

The old lady's joking words sounded particularly harsh to him.

At this moment, Mu Zhou's shy and timid look also deeply hurt him.

The eldest lady naturally noticed her son's displeasure.

The old lady over there was expressing her reluctance to part with Mu Zhou:

"If I marry her, I don't know when we will meet again."

The eldest lady was just about to quietly persuade Song Wenchao to leave, but she saw him suddenly stand up.

With a 'swish' sound, the letter in his hand was torn into pieces.

It wasn't a harsh sound, but it drew the attention of everyone in the room.

Song Wenchao held the letter in his hand without looking away, and walked towards Mu Zhou in shock.

Song Wenchao's dark eyes seemed to turn scarlet, staring straight at Mu Zhou.

Every step he took seemed to be stepping on Mu Zhou's heartbeat.

He stopped beside Mu Zhou, his burning gaze covering her, leaving her with no way to escape.

Then, under everyone's puzzled gaze, Song Wenchao took Mu Zhou's stiff hand:

"Grandma, there's no need to be reluctant. She will only marry into Prince Qi's mansion."

The warm room seemed to suddenly become quiet.

Not a sound at all.

Even the maids and nannies who were serving them retreated quietly, wishing they could hide themselves.

The eldest lady was the first to react.

After all, she knew about this in advance and was mentally prepared.

Although she was still not mentally prepared enough, she was still more accepting than them.

The lady cleared her throat:

"Chao'er, let's discuss this matter in the long run. Let go of Zhou'er's hand first."

The child looked pale, dazed and terrified. He was already weak and frail, and after being frightened like this, it seemed as if he couldn't bear it.

After all, not everyone can be as reckless and crazy as her son.

After hearing what his mother said, Song Wenchao did not let go of Mu Zhou's hand, but he loosened his grip a little.

He even rubbed her palms to reassure her.

He has everything.

The old lady was obviously shocked as well.

She opened her mouth, and after a moment she said in doubt:

"Chao'er, what are you doing, what are you doing..."

"I want to marry Mu Zhou."

Song Wenchao's expression was indifferent, but extremely firm.

The old lady said uncertainly, "Marry Zhou'er...you mean, marry her?"

"Yes."

Song Wenchao stared at Mu Zhou without blinking.

From that day in the temple, when he heard her talking with her mother, he knew that Mu Zhou was not a person who coveted wealth and would never accept to be a concubine.

And he will only have Mu Zhou as his wife.

There is no doubt about this.

Song Wenchao's affirmative answer made the old lady gasp.

She needs to calm down.

When did his grandson become so close to Mu Zhou?

In her impression, the two did not seem to be very familiar with each other.

How did it suddenly come to the point where I had to marry her?

Faced with the old lady's doubtful gaze and this suffocating scene, Mu Zhou wished he could shrink into an eggshell.

She had to admit that Song Wenchao was indeed crazy.
