The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability
Chapter 366 Cui’s Three Mothers
He was injured and at home at the time, and he was truly disheartened. Although he had thought that it might be Dark Ten, he felt that he was already a useless person and had no right to stand beside her.
So Mu Yun decisively instructed the gatekeeper to refuse any gifts sent to him from now on, thus severing all contact. An Shi seemed to understand his feelings as well, and stopped sending him anything, as if it were an unspoken agreement between the two. He also stopped appearing before him on time.
Until the day he was treated for his leg at the Prince of Huainan's residence, when that girl reappeared before him, his dead heart seemed to begin to beat again.
When his cousin told him he could recover completely, he was overjoyed. His first thought was of that icy face, wondering if he could be worthy of standing beside her if he could return to his former self. He told her that he had unknowingly fallen in love with her.
Later, after he had his leg treated, Nangong Li suddenly transferred An Shi to his side, saying that An Shi would replace the original guards and stay by his side, mainly responsible for protecting the safety of the mansion. At that moment, he suppressed his joy.
He was thinking that after his leg healed, he would find a suitable opportunity to tell her that he really liked her and hoped to be with her, to grow old together, and to spend his life with her.
But he always felt that this girl was unwilling to take a step forward, maintaining a proper distance and adhering to the duties of a bodyguard. Yet her concern for him went beyond the responsibilities of a bodyguard!
He knew she had feelings for him too, but something seemed to separate them. This time, the Luo family came to visit, hoping to rekindle their relationship. To be honest, the engagement with the Luo family was only because his grandfather thought General Luo's granddaughter was a good choice.
Even if the two families weren't considered a perfect match, the girl was quite beautiful and had a good reputation. Little did they know that true love would be revealed in times of hardship. Ever since he injured his leg, when the Luo family girl heard that his leg was crippled and he could never stand again, she never visited the Mu family again.
Actually, when he injured his leg, his first thought was to break off the engagement. However, his grandparents were not willing to give up and said to wait a little longer, perhaps they could find a famous doctor. If the doctor couldn't cure him, they couldn't delay the girl's life.
The Mu family was supposed to come and break off the engagement, and all the betrothal gifts presented that day would be given as the girl's dowry. However, before the Mu family could come to break off the engagement, the Luo family came first to ask for the engagement to be broken off.
They said a perfectly good girl shouldn't marry a cripple, because with a leg injury, it's uncertain whether she'll be able to have children. They can't let their daughter marry a husband with two disabled legs, nor can they let their daughter spend the rest of her life as a widow.
This infuriated his grandparents. In the end, his grandfather agreed to break off the engagement, but all the betrothal gifts had to be returned to the Mu family in full. His grandmother said that they were not worthy of using the Mu family's money, and that it was better to throw it to a beggar on the street than leave it to those heartless people. The two families parted on bad terms and never contacted each other again.
He thought the two families would never cross paths again, but when the Luo family learned that he had a chance to get back on his feet, they actually dared to shamelessly come to him and ask to rekindle their relationship.
He was afraid that his grandmother would agree if she softened her heart, but because it was the Luo family mother and daughter who came, he had no choice but to have his grandmother intercepted halfway.
He only breathed a sigh of relief after learning that his grandmother had kicked the person out. Then he remembered that after his leg ailment was cured, people had been sending him invitations one after another, but all of these families had unmarried daughters or sisters.
Thinking of this, he didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to tell his grandmother that he had found a girl he liked and that he wanted his grandmother to meet her. But he never expected that An Shi would reject his confession.
But to his relief, An Shi confessed that he had feelings for him and that his rejection was due to other reasons, not because he disliked him. This made his heart, which had died, start beating again. He would not give up as long as there was a chance.
Thinking of this, Mu Yun's lips curled up slightly: "Grandmother, your grandson already has a girl he likes, it's An Shi. If anyone else comes to propose marriage, just refuse them. Your grandson's heart is already with someone, and there's no room for anyone else."
The old lady smiled and nodded: "Grandmother knows, it's called An Shi, right? Grandmother remembers, it's the girl who broke your bones before, right? I was wondering why she looked so familiar."
But her attire today is so different from before that Grandmother didn't recognize her at first. "If you ask me, a young lady should dress beautifully," she said. "Anshi, come here to Grandmother."
An Shi stepped forward and came to Old Madam Mu, bowing respectfully: "My daughter's surname is Cui, and I am the third child in my family. My given name is Ying. You may call me Third Sister, Old Madam."
"Alright! Alright! From now on, I will call you Third Sister when we are at home."
After speaking, Madam Gu took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, pulled An Shi's hand over, and put it on her wrist.
An Shi hurriedly declined, saying, "Madam, I cannot accept such a reward without having done so much."
The old lady said with a stern face, "One cannot refuse a gift from an elder. Besides, you have already promised Yun'er that you would give him a chance, and Yun'er has also promised to wait for you."
My grandson was born in the Year of the Ox. Once he's made up his mind, not even eight horses could pull him back, let alone the first time he'd asked to marry a girl in front of his wife.
So, it's only a matter of time before you two are destined to become our family's daughter-in-law. Then what's wrong with this being a gift from your grandmother to her future granddaughter-in-law?
Or are you just lying to him, and you don't actually like him, nor do you intend to be with him for a long time? Is that why you didn't accept your grandmother's gift?
An Shi was both amused and exasperated by what Old Madam Mu said, and could only look at Mu Yun.
Mu Yun nodded in agreement: "Grandmother is right. You are destined to become a daughter-in-law of the Mu family, my wife, Mu Yun's wife. You must accept the gift from Grandmother, unless, as Grandmother said, you lied to me before?"
An Shi originally wanted to ask Mu Yun for help, but unexpectedly, the two of them joined forces. An Shi had no choice but to accept the bracelet and bow to Old Madam Mu: "In that case, Third Sister, thank you, Old Madam."
Madam Mu nodded, having already made some plans in her mind: watching An Shi's bowing movements, which were as smooth as flowing water, with her skirt hem remaining perfectly still, dignified and graceful, her demeanor surpassed that of ordinary ladies from prominent families.
Presumably, An Shi's background must be extraordinary. His surname is Cui. Could it be? Suddenly, Madam Mu seemed to think of something. When she looked at An Shi again, her eyes held a hint of pity that was hard to detect.
