After dying in the apocalypse, Mo Qian activated the Jade Magnolia Spatial Bracelet. Together with the ancient Qilin, Xiao Bai, she traveled through three thousand realms to collect faith power and...
Before he could find out the reason, three days later, Prime Minister Wang waited at his home for the now-popular young general Mo Bai!
"General, what brings you here today?" Prime Minister Wang looked at Xiaobai with a puzzled expression and asked seriously.
Although it was unclear what brought this young general to the Prime Minister's residence, Prime Minister Wang did not behave impolitely, serving tea and snacks in full.
"Prime Minister, I have heard that your esteemed third young lady is intelligent, virtuous, and kind. I have come here to ask for a matchmaker. I humbly request your permission. It is impolite of me to come today. I will formally propose marriage another day with a matchmaker."
Xiao Bai replied with a look of shame, clasping his hands in a fist salute, displaying the heroic demeanor of a young general, full of pride and ambition.
"General Mo, you are too kind. I have high hopes for you, General. With such a talented person as you coming to ask for my daughter's hand in marriage."
"However, I have already promised my daughter that she can decide her own future husband, so I am afraid I cannot agree to your request today."
Prime Minister Wang replied with an apologetic expression, his voice filled with remorse.
Although he had high hopes for this young general, a war god on the battlefield, he did not seek information about him or obtain Baochuan's consent beforehand.
For the sake of her precious daughter's future peace and prosperity, she naturally couldn't just agree to it because the young general mentioned it.
"It is my fault for being so rude today. I have heard that many people are interested in your young lady, which is why I am anxious. My visit today has been rather unbecoming," Xiao Bai quickly apologized.
"General, you are too kind," said Prime Minister Wang, stroking his beard.
My own Baochuan is indeed the best. Which noblewoman in the entire capital can compare to my darling daughter?
This young general, the undefeated war god, still fell in love with my Baochuan!
My Baochuan is worthy of any prince or nobleman!
It was also because he felt sorry for Baochuan and didn't want her to become just one of the many women in the royal harem. The struggles in the royal harem have always been no less intense than those in the court!
She just wants to find a simple, capable, caring, and loving husband.
"Prime Minister, please convey to your Third Miss that three years ago, in Peach Blossom Village! If she hears this, she will naturally know who I am." Xiao Bai raised her hand and cupped her hands to the Prime Minister as she spoke.
"It's getting late, so I'll take my leave now. Please wait, Prime Minister." Xiao Bai said goodbye again and again. After the Prime Minister replied, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Yes, I will convey this to my daughter. General, please take care. Steward, see the guests out."
Prime Minister Wang was initially unhurried, but when he heard the young general ask him to tell Baochuan that three years ago, at Peach Blossom Village...
His eyes widened suddenly for a moment, then he tried hard to control his facial expression, not revealing any emotion.
When the young general took his leave, he was very courteous and did not act rudely!
After the young general Mo Bai left, Prime Minister Wang's facial expressions became more varied.
This... this... right under my nose, a cabbage is about to be eaten by a pig?
Prime Minister Wang hurriedly walked towards Mo Qian's courtyard, wanting to find out the whole story. His precious Baochuan actually knew that young general Mo Bai.
Soon, Prime Minister Wang arrived at Mo Qian's courtyard, entered the house, and dismissed the servants.
"Baochuan, do you know that the young general Mo Bai came to our residence today?"
Prime Minister Wang did not immediately ask the young general Mo Bai whether he knew his own Bao Chuan or how they knew each other.
Instead, she wanted to observe whether Baochuan truly knew the young general by revealing his name.
"Father, what brings that young general here today?" Mo Qian asked, her face full of doubt, without revealing any emotion, as if she truly did not recognize the young general.
"That young general, Mo Bai, has come to ask for your hand in marriage, Baochuan! He also asked me to pass on a message to you: three years ago, in Peach Blossom Village!"
"And you said you knew who it was just by hearing those words!"
Prime Minister Wang simply blurted everything out. While carefully examining Baochuan, he found no flaws.
"A marriage proposal? Three years ago? Peach Blossom Village?" Mo Qian's eyes were initially confused, but in the blink of an eye, as if she had thought of something, her eyes brightened.
“Father, I seem to remember something. Three years ago in Peach Blossom Village, I think I saw a man lying injured on the ground.”
"When I went up to check, I found some sword marks on his body, but he was still breathing, so I called a doctor to examine and treat his wounds."
"After the man regained consciousness, he said something about wanting to repay me for saving his life, like offering himself to me. He even told me to wait for him for three years. After he recovered, he disappeared without a trace. I thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously."
"I never expected that person to be the majestic General, the God of War, Mo Bai!"
After Mo Qian finished speaking, she looked incredulous and asked in surprise.
"That young general now wants to marry you? Baochuan, what are your thoughts?"
"Just now, the people I sent out to investigate that young general Mo Bai reported back on my way here."
"The young general suddenly appeared in the military camp three years ago. He was promoted continuously because of his bravery. He saved the old general's life on the battlefield and was taken in by his side. He has made many great contributions."
"When the old general's old illness relapsed and he was unable to serve as the general, he recommended him to the emperor. After that, the war god Mo Bai took over as the general who commanded the three armies."
"Moreover, that young general is still unmarried, and there is no one in his harem. His elders have all passed away one after another. He is currently a general, a position that has been passed down for three generations. He enjoys the salary of a first-rank minister. The emperor has also bestowed upon him a general's mansion, a thousand taels of gold, and ten thousand acres of land."
Prime Minister Wang told Mo Qian everything he had learned from his investigation.
"Daughter...Daughter will leave it to Father to decide." Mo Qian slowly lowered her head, her face flushed, and replied in a low voice.
"Good, good, Baochuan, your father will definitely make your wedding a grand affair that will make everyone envious!"
Prime Minister Wang noticed that Baochuan was not present before the portrait this time, and that she looked resistant whenever her husband was mentioned.
On the contrary, the completely different reply from before showed that everything was fine.
Although she also thought highly of the young general Mo Bai, she felt very bad when she thought about her beloved daughter, whom she had pampered since childhood, leaving the manor to marry someone else.
However, a woman must eventually get married. Fortunately, the future son-in-law chosen this time is indeed a good young man, and his precious daughter can have a happy future.
He was assured that he would not suffer because of marrying the wrong person. When he learned that Baochuan had rescued a man three years ago, Prime Minister Wang's heart tightened.
I'm worried that Baochuan might get hurt because she saved the wrong person!
Fortunately, the young general was of good character and did not repay kindness with enmity, which led to this marriage.
Ignoring the slight bitterness in his heart, Prime Minister Wang stroked his beard with a satisfied expression.
