"He said he came from his hometown."
"Hometown? Father and son?" Xia Jinxiu took a deep breath. Could it be...
She looked at Xia Zhiliao, wanting to see the little girl's reaction.
Xia Zhiliao lived up to her expectations.
[Could it be such a coincidence that it is the father and son of the Mu family? ]
Xia Jinxiu also thought of them, but she was not sure. But after the little girl said this, she was sure.
"Please come in."
No matter who it is, I have to meet him, thought Old Mrs. Xia.
[If it's them, that's great. Can't we ask them to help? Lord Mu is a good man, upright and honest. If he knows that my aunt is in such trouble, he will not ignore it.]
Xia Jinxiu's face turned slightly red. She had never thought of this.
But this is still a good idea.
It's just a matter of whether the other party is willing or not. Besides, he is the emperor. If he offends him, will Lord Mu's official career be over?
The people who followed the butler in were indeed Mu Zhanpeng and his son Mu Zhuoxuan.
"It's you guys!" Xia Jinxiu blurted out, "Please take a seat."
After saying hello, Xia Zhiliao asked curiously, "Did you come here specially to see my aunt?"
Xia Zhiliao's words made Mu Zhanpeng blush.
He didn't know how to answer.
Xia Jinxiu glanced at the little girl and said, "I know."
Xia Zhiliao stuck out his tongue.
"Actually... I came to Beijing to take up my post." Mu Zhanpeng said.
The Xia family was very surprised. Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
"Are you going to come to the capital to be an official in the future?" asked Old Lady Xia.
"Yes, I left not long after you left. After I arrived, I found out that Zhiliao was actually the county lady."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "This is not important."
"In the future, I can still eat the delicious food made by Aunt Xia." Mu Zhuoxuan looked at Xia Jinxiu shyly.
Xia Jinxiu smiled, "What's the big deal? The new shop will open soon. You can come anytime. But the capital is big. I don't know if it's far from where you study."
Mu Zhanpeng had just arrived and many things had not been settled yet. If his youngest son had not wanted to wait even a moment, he would not have come to visit in such a hurry.
But Mu Zhuoxuan insisted on coming to see Xia Jinxiu.
Mu Zhanpeng was at a loss, but he actually wanted to do it too.
But when he thought about the other person's current status, the difference was even greater, so he had to suppress his feelings.
[Who can tell me about asking Lord Mu for help? Is it appropriate for a child like me to talk about this?]
Xia Zhiliao was very anxious.
Xia Jinxiu quickly looked away, and Old Lady Xia didn't know how to start the conversation. After all, the other party was the emperor, not an ordinary person.
Otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
"You came at the perfect time." Xia Zhiliao felt that his family would not have thought of this.
So, even though she is a child, she has to break this window paper.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Mu Zhanpeng asked.
"If you need any help down there, just ask."
"This..." Xia Jinxiu hesitated.
"Aunt Xia, please tell me now. Don't be embarrassed. We will definitely help you if we can."
"Yes, Miss Jinxiu, you treated Zhuoxuan so well and saved his life, and we haven't had time to repay you yet."
Xia Jinxiu was still a little embarrassed, "Master Mu, this... I really don't know how to start."
"Old lady, please tell me, you really don't have to be polite to me."
Old Lady Xia was also a little embarrassed, "Master Mu, this is indeed not a simple matter."
"No matter how difficult it is, as long as I can help, I will do my best."
"The emperor wants to marry my aunt, but she doesn't want to."
"Since you are unwilling, the emperor will not force you." Mu Zhanpeng said.
He felt that this was how the emperor should be.
"I will write a memorial to report this matter."
Xia Zhiliao realized that he had misunderstood.
If only it were that simple.
Moreover, Lord Mu is really not afraid at all. He even dares to write a memorial to the emperor about this matter. Isn’t he afraid that the emperor will make things difficult for him?
It was precisely because he said that Xia Zhiliao felt it was okay to ask him for help.
[Actually, my little aunt shouldn’t hate Lord Mu, right? I know Lord Mu must like my little aunt, because every time he sees my little aunt, he blushes, this is not fake.]
Xia Jinxiu cleared her throat, feeling a little embarrassed.
Mu Zhanpeng admired Xia Jinxiu very much. There were countless women in the world who wanted this opportunity but didn't have it, but she actually refused.
But it’s true, the Miss Xia he knew was such a unique woman.
"Forget it, I'll just tell you."
For the sake of her daughter's happiness, Old Mrs. Xia decided not to drag her feet any longer.
"Madam, please speak."
"Master Mu, Jinxiu doesn't want to enter the palace, and we don't want her to go, but the problem now is that she said she already has an engagement."
Mu Zhanpeng knew that he shouldn't be so wishful thinking, but his heart still sank and he felt a little painful.
[Lord Mu is upset. He must like my aunt.]
Xia Jinxiu blushed again.
"Is Miss Jinxiu engaged?"
"No, that's the problem. It's just a lie, but if the emperor knew about it, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Mu Zhanpeng felt relieved. He finally understood. "You guys want to..."
"That's right, Master Mu, because the engagement I'm talking about was made in my hometown. I don't trust anyone else, and it's too late. I don't know if you... are willing..."
"I……"
Mu Zhanpeng was not hesitant, but was thinking, would such a good thing happen to him?
"It's okay, just pretend it never happened..."
"No, you misunderstood." Mu Zhanpeng said quickly, "I just feel that I am much older than Miss Jinxiu and I already have a child, so I will let her down."
"I am willing. Do you want Aunt Jinxiu to be my mother? I am very willing. This is what I have always thought. Aunt Jinxiu, although my father is a little old, he is a good person, and he likes you anyway."
"Zhuo Xuan!" Mu Zhanpeng quickly scolded his son.
"I didn't say anything. You were sad for several days when Aunt Xia came to the capital." Mu Zhuoxuan said.
Mu Zhanpeng glared at his son. "If Miss Xia needs my help, I will naturally not refuse. I am just afraid that I will wrong her. When this matter is over, in order to protect her reputation, I will..."
"I don't care." Xia Jinxiu said, "But you have to think carefully, sir. The person in front of you is the emperor..."
Mu Zhanpeng understood, but he felt that the emperor must not be such a stingy person.
He is the emperor, the ruler of the world. How could he make things difficult for the people below him?
Xia Zhiliao felt that this was really fate.
"So, the matter is settled now?"
Xia Jinxiu glanced at Mu Zhanpeng and her face still blushed. She really didn't hate Lord Mu.
