Don't worry, we haven't figured out who is in control of all this and who wants to harm the Seventh Prince."
Mo Che stroked the jade ring on his thumb, and his eyes fixed.
Mo Che was calm and composed. "Plus, the Seventh Prince is unwilling to reveal his identity, so there must be something hidden. He is now alone at the border without any guards. Send more Imperial Sword Guards to protect him secretly."
The guard responded, "Yes, Your Highness!"
The eldest prince sighed softly, "I don't have much time left, I just want to help my seventh brother in my last days."
The seventh royal brother steps on seven stars.
He saw it with his own eyes.
But Concubine Yun asked the Seventh Prince to keep this secret hidden and not to reveal that he was stepping on seven stars.
The national teacher once predicted that the world would be ruled by people who stepped on seven stars.
This person is none other than his seventh younger brother.
Among his many brothers, the Seventh Prince was the most intelligent and brave, the most skilled in both civil and military affairs, the most far-sighted, and the most calm and composed.
When the guard heard what Mo Che said, he knelt down and said, "Prince, you will live a long life!"
Mo Che waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I know my situation best."
He just hoped that he could help his seventh younger brother ascend to the throne before he passed away.
I hope I can wait until that day.
…
General's Mansion.
"Luo, my eldest grandson is getting married, and I need money."
The old lady is here.
Looking at Luo Shi, he said arrogantly.
"Mother-in-law, our two branches have already separated. Whether you want to marry a daughter-in-law for your son or a daughter-in-law for your grandson, you can figure it out on your own." Luo said calmly.
The old lady was furious when she heard this, "Luo, when you married your daughter-in-law, you brought her in a sedan chair with eight bearers. I'm marrying my grandson's daughter-in-law, the daughter of the wealthy Sun family! At the very least, she can't be worse than Mu Zimin!"
Luo raised her eyes and looked at the old lady. "Mother-in-law, helping our son to find a wife is our duty as parents, but you asked me to be in charge of the wedding of my cousin's child. It doesn't make sense. I am not his parent, nor his parents-in-law, let alone his direct relative. Why should I help him plan his wedding?"
The old lady heard this and a sinister look appeared in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "Luo, you just can't bear to see my eldest granddaughter snatch away Zi Shi's good marriage, and you can't bear to see my eldest grandson about to marry Sun Caixue, so you hold a grudge against me!"
As she spoke, the old lady also mocked, "Your eldest son is a good-for-nothing, he is stupid all day long. I heard from the vendors outside that Zishi bought a lot of rouge, powder, hairpins and fabrics used by girls as soon as he went out on the street. If this is not because he was rejected by his engagement, what else could it be that he has gone insane?"
"You must be crazy about girls! Fortunately, Sun Caixue broke off the engagement with him, otherwise he would be a widow for the rest of his life!"
When Luo heard the old lady say this, she couldn't help but frown.
She would not tolerate anyone slandering her son.
But for now, you have to be patient.
Others say that the eldest son is foolish and misses the girl, which is a good opportunity to protect him.
Her son's ideal match was Princess Zhaohua.
She endured the humiliation and sneered in response, "Since Sun Caixue was originally engaged to my son, and now you are using my money to arrange the marriage, aren't you afraid that your eldest grandson will feel uncomfortable? If you can't afford a wife, don't marry her. Why harm other girls?"
"Luo, you are so bold! How dare you curse my grandson!" The old lady was furious and pointed at Luo and cursed, "If I hadn't agreed to let you in, would you have married Mu Xiuyuan and enjoyed happiness? Everything you enjoy today was brought to you by me!"
"What's wrong with asking you to prepare a grand wedding for my eldest grandson? Do you want me to kill you?"
No matter what the old lady said, Luo Shi remained calm and said, "Mother-in-law, when my nephew gets married, please send someone to inform me and we will give him a generous gift."
The old lady stared at Luo Shi with bloodshot eyes, "Luo Shi, you dare to abuse our family while Xiu Yuan is not at home?"
"Aren't you worried that your new daughter-in-law might have some feelings towards you? Will she treat you the same way she treats me today?"
Luo took a sip of tea and continued, "Mother-in-law, you are worrying too much. I don't need her to be filial to me in the future. My husband and I have our own lives in old age. We will never learn from you to exploit our children, grandchildren and daughter-in-law."
When the old lady heard what Luo said, she almost vomited blood.
She sat in a wheelchair and refused to move, "Luo, I didn't expect you to be so vicious!"
"Mother-in-law, if you have nothing else to do, go back and think about how to prepare for the marriage of your eldest grandson. The wife you are going to marry will be the daughter of a wealthy man, so she can't be shabby." Luo deliberately teased the old lady.
If it were in the past, she would never talk back to the old lady like this.
Thinking that she was the adoptive mother who raised Mu Xiuyuan, even if she had no credit, she had worked hard.
But after learning what she had done, there was no need to be merciful.
What did you get in return for being kind to the old lady's family?
Her third and fourth sons were almost harmed by them.
Fortunately, Yan'er resolved everything.
"Luo, just wait! After my grandson marries Sun Caixue, all the property of the Sun family will belong to us! Then we will buy land and build a house at the border, which will be a million times better than this shabby mansion of yours!" the old lady boasted.
The old lady has it all figured out.
After marrying Sun Caixue, let Sun Caixue give her the key to the Sun family's warehouse.
Anyway, Sun Dafu only has this one daughter, and all the Sun family’s property belongs to Sun Caixue.
Since Sun Caixue has entered her home, she is a member of her family and must listen to her.
[Isn't the old lady too confident? Just wait and see, after Sun Caixue gets married, they will have a hard time.]
Mu Yan yawned, turned over, and stretched.
"Then I wish that mother-in-law will get what she wants. Our general's mansion is a bit dilapidated anyway. How about asking my nephew to lend us some money to renovate the mansion?"
Luo covered his mouth and chuckled.
She was curious about how much trouble the old lady's family would make because of Sun Caixue.
She was looking forward to it.
Not to mention Luo, the brothers who heard Mu Yan’s thoughts were all very excited!
When the old lady heard that Luo Shi wanted to use their money to renovate the general's mansion, she snorted coldly, "Luo Shi, you really dare to make such a request!"
"Mother-in-law is about to become the richest old lady at the border. Who wouldn't envy your eldest granddaughter for marrying the only daughter of a wealthy businessman at the border?" Luo said jokingly.
"That's right! Not everyone has this blessing!" said the old lady, and gave Mu Zishi a targeted and contemptuous look.
Mu Zishi: I can’t afford this blessing!
[Humph, my eldest brother's golden marriage is Princess Zhaohua! I won't fight with you for a crazy woman! ]
Mu Yan hummed proudly.
Then he continued to mutter:
[Brother, after you marry the princess, remember not to use her to gain power and profit. This will make the princess very embarrassed. As long as you love each other and treat the princess well, the emperor will see it and give you an official title and a higher rank. This is called marrying a good wife and working less hard in your life! ]
That’s Princess Zhaohua!
Although born in the cold palace.
But she is the emperor's most favored princess.
[Let me count on my fingers. There are still two days until New Year's Eve, and seventeen days until the Lantern Festival... Ah~ I will be able to be close to my dear sister-in-law soon~ I am looking forward to it! ]
Luo: My eldest daughter-in-law is coming soon!
Mu Zishi: I am looking forward to it too.
Other brothers of the Mu family: Princess sister-in-law!
[However, the Lantern Festival is also the day for the heroine to show off. If the prince notices her...tsk tsk tsk, she will be able to fly up to the tree and become a phoenix! And the gears of fate of our Mu family will start turning again...]
Luoshi:!
The Mu brothers:!
He looked at Mu Yan in panic, wanting to hear more key information!
