Chapter 164: You and I Will Soon Be Husband and Wife
Her family is quite simple, she has no father since she was a child, her seriously ill old mother also died two years ago, and the family only has her brother, sister-in-law, a little niece of four or five years old, and a nephew who is not yet a year old.
Mo Li couldn't think of any reason for Xia He to betray her, and it was this kind of betrayal that would kill her.
Is it just because he doesn't value her as much as he does to Ruoping? Or is there something she doesn't know that makes Xia He take a risk?
Because she had smoked the incense the night before, Mo Li fell asleep in a daze after thinking about it, and she didn't know how long it was, but when she woke up, she found Murong Chu sitting at the table, reading a book in his hand.
"General, when did you come back?" Mo Li sat up, yawned, and rubbed his sleepy eyes and asked.
Mo Li used the word "come back", which made Murong Chu feel like a little lady was asking her husband, and he poured a cup of tea with a smile and sent it to the kang: "It's been a while since I came back, and I didn't wake you up when I saw that you were sleeping soundly." β
The word "come back" bit very hard, Mo Li realized that he had accidentally been teased again, glanced at Murong Chu angrily, took the cup, and drank the tea in the cup in one gulp.
Murong Chu saw that the little girl was angry again, and he no longer provoked her, took the cup from her hand and put it back on the table, and sat back on the kang: "How is Li'er feeling now?" What's wrong with it? β
"I'm fine, let's leave tomorrow." Mo Li knew that Murong Chu was worried about her body and wanted her to rest for a few more days, but now it was slower than the expected trip, and if she delayed it any longer, she was afraid that she would miss the right thing.
Murong Chu nodded: "I'm going to the state capital in front to inspect the local garrison, and let Jin Yu go with me when the time comes." β
Mo Li didn't expect that before she could speak, Murong Chu mentioned this matter first, and she smiled knowingly: "I still think about how to tell it, and the general will agree." Did Jinyu go to you by herself? β
"Nope." Murong Chu picked up a handful of Mo Li's hair and wrapped it between his fingers, "The last time you finished talking to me, I kept my mind on it. Although Jin Yu is not very old, it is rare for him to have such a fist heart, so I discussed with Jin Hua just now, and took this opportunity to let him go to the military camp to see and understand first. β
"Jin Yu has never suffered any setbacks since he was a child, and I don't know how long he can last, so I never dared to mention this matter to my brother." Mo Li said with some worry, "Now that my father and mother are gone, I don't know if it's right to let him join the army." The battlefield is ruthless, just his three-legged cat's kung fu, alas......"
Murong Chu smiled: "Li'er, don't underestimate Jinyu, I think this kid has some momentum." If he can endure this hardship, I, as a brother-in-law, can cultivate him. β
Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, the last thing Mo Li wants to hear now is these two words, she pulled the ends of her hair out of Murong Chu's hand, and said angrily: "The child has no mouth to hide, how can the general follow and coax, if this is poured out, it will make people laugh." β
Murong Chu twisted his fingers, the soft and silky touch was still on his fingertips, he hooked his lips and smiled lightly: "Tell me what my family is afraid of, when I go outside, I won't let Jin Yu scream." β
"After returning to Beijing from Xiliang this time, my father will come to the door to propose marriage, you and I will soon be husband and wife, and Jin Yu will naturally call me brother-in-law at that time."
Mo Li heard the words and a touch of crimson climbed up his cheeks, and muttered in a low voice: "That's also a matter for the future, you still have to pay attention now." β
The little girl's shy appearance made Murong Chu's heart tremble slightly, and she really looked forward to returning to the capital as soon as possible.
Although Ruoping was fine, he was still injured after all, and Mama Li served Mo Li that night.
Early the next morning, breakfast was served, and the team was ready to go.
As soon as Mo Li came out of the room, he felt a beam of inquiring eyes, and when he looked up, Mo Jinhua was talking to a young man in a plain brocade robe at the gate of the courtyard.
The Seventh Prince, Zhong Hanmiao, had long been very curious about the eldest lady of the Mo family, and when he saw her come out, he took a closer look.
On the day of the Qixi Festival, I just looked at the back from a distance upstairs, and today I look carefully, it is indeed delicate and lovely.
Although his face was a little pale, his apricot eyes were full of agility, like a lake shining in the sun.
"Xi'er, this is the Seventh Prince, don't hurry up and see the courtesy." Mo Jinhua saw Zhong Hanmiao staring at Mo Li, and hurriedly reminded her.
Mo Li lowered his eyes and bowed slightly: "Mo Jinxi gave the Seventh Prince a gift." β
"No courtesy." Zhong Hanmiao's thin ruddy lips raised slightly, "Miss Jinxi's body is better?" β
Murong Chu didn't know when he appeared behind Mo Li, and before she could answer, he spoke first: "Thanks to the Seventh Prince's concern, there is no big problem, and you can set off." β
After that, he took Mo Li's hand: "Let's go, I'll send you to the car." β
Moriton is embarrassed, isn't this good in public? But the hand was clenched so tightly that it didn't give her a chance to break free, so he dragged her out of the inn.
Zhong Hanmiao's lips showed a hint of banter, and he glanced at Mo Jinhua beside him: "Sister Ling and General Murong seem to be very close!" β
Mo Jinhua didn't know that Murong Chu was declaring his sovereignty, but it was too naΓ―ve for the cold Zhenguo General to behave like this.
He could only smile and laugh, and didn't say anything, whatever the Seventh Prince thought, anyway, he couldn't care about being an elder brother.
It is said that when envoy Xiliang is made, in addition to the Seventh Prince and Murong Chu, there will be other ministers, and the number must not be too small, but except for the Seventh Prince, Mo Li didn't see anyone else, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
After getting into the carriage, he learned from Ruoping's mouth that the Seventh Prince asked the other envoys to carry congratulatory gifts, and he only brought a few guards and entourage and followed Murong Chu out of the capital. It doesn't seem like he wants to go to Xiliang on the way, but it looks like going out of the city to play.
"Miss doesn't know, the name of the Seven Princes has long been known to everyone in the capital. I don't know why he moved his mind to envoy Xiliang this time. Ruoping said while applying ointment to Mo Li's face, "I heard Eleven say that as soon as he left the capital, it was like a bird out of a cage. β
"Presumably he was detained by his father and queen mother all day long, and now no one cares, and he can't do whatever he wants." Mo Li chuckled.
The Seventh Prince looks like a child who has not grown up, but a person who has grown up in the courtyard of the deep palace since he was a child, which one will be as pure as he seems.
The convoy left Heyuan Town and arrived at Qinghe City in only half a day, and the group settled down in the mansion.
Mo Jinyu and Murong Chu went to the military camp of the local garrison, because Mo Li had slept in the carriage for a long time, he was in good spirits at this time, and he had nothing to do, so he and Ruoping sat on the stone bench in the back garden of the mansion to enjoy the scenery.
The two chatted without saying a word, and a crimson figure came from far and near, Mo Li and Ruoping stopped at the same time, looking at the Seven Princes coming from the Hanging Flower Gate.
