Chapter 17: It turns out they are talking about kissing



She happily left Yongshou Palace with the empress dowager's reward.

Upon learning that she was fine, Tang Jingrui and Captain Liu had been waiting for her outside the palace gate for a long time.

Captain Liu saw Mu Nanjin coming out and handed Heitan to her: "It was just a false alarm today, go back and have a good rest."

Tang Jingrui jumped on his horse and said, "Father and the others are very worried about you. Let's go home and report that we are safe."

[They are probably worried that I will bring trouble to the Tang family.]

Mu Nanjin rode his horse towards the Tang family.

“…”

Tang Jingrui followed closely behind her.

When they returned to the Tang family, the servants brought braziers and pomelo leaves to exorcise evil spirits for Mu Nanjin. The atmosphere was very warm, as if they were welcoming a noble lady from the Tang family home.

"Nannan is back."

Jiang Zhenru enthusiastically pulled Mu Nanjin into the hall.

"I'm glad Nan Nan is back safely. Come sit down and have some tea."

Mr. Tang and Mrs. Tang were also all smiles.

No one in the entire Tang family blamed her for bringing trouble to the Tang family! Mu Nanjin was flattered.

Tang Jingrui was also surprised.

[I was taken away by the imperial guards, but Jiang Zhenru and the others were still laughing so happily? Did they take the wrong medicine, or did they know that I was going to be rewarded and wanted to take the things that the Queen Mother gave me.]

Tang Jingrui and Tang Wenzong: "..."

"Yes, tea." Jiang Zhenru said to the servants, "Why don't you pour a cup of tea for Miss Cousin."

The maid came forward and gave Mu Nan a cup of tea.

Mu Nanjin looked at the water in the glass suspiciously.

[The attitude of the Tang family is really suspicious. Did they poison the tea and take the opportunity to kill me, the troublemaker?]

【Let me see what they are doing? 】

"Cough." Tang Wenzong was worried that she was talking nonsense in her mind again, so he coughed lightly.

Jiang Zhenru understood and immediately got to the point.

She smiled and said to Mu Nanjin, "Nannan, you have reached the age of marriage. It is time for a girl to get married at your age. Your uncle is a grown man and a rough man. He is away from home all year round and it is not convenient for him to talk to a girl like you about these things. Your aunt will help your uncle pick out a few families for you."

She was worried that Mu Nanjin would be angry, so she added, "Don't worry, the people we choose are worthy of your status as a ninth-rank Jinyiwei, and we will never let you down. Do you want to take a look?"

Tang Jingrui was furious when he saw that his mother and others were arranging a marriage for her, Mu Nanjin, while his uncle was away.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang knew that his son had a sense of justice. Although he did not like Mu Nanjin, he would not allow others to bully him in this way.

He quickly grabbed his son's shoulders and led him out of the hall.

Tang Jingrui angrily shook off his father's hand: "Dad, do you know what you are doing? Do you know how terrible things will happen when you marry Mu Nanjin off without your uncle's consent? Considering how much my uncle loves Mu Nanjin, he could kill us with a knife."

"Your aunt did this with your uncle's consent."

"Aunt, did you get your uncle's consent?"

Tang Jingrui didn't quite believe this.

Based on his understanding of Mu Qinyi, he would do everything concerning Mu Nanjin himself and would never ask anyone else to do it.

How could a marriage, which was such an important matter, be left to his aunt to decide when he was not around?

"Yes, she also said that after she found the right person, she would wait for your uncle to come back before getting married."

Tang Jingrui felt relieved after hearing the latter words.

【So it's about kissing. 】

Mu Nanjin in the hall calmly sipped his tea and asked, "Which families did Madam choose for me?"

"I have picked five families for you." Jiang Zhenru was afraid that she would go back on her word, so she quickly took out the picture album and handed it to her.

Mu Nanjin opened the first page and was immediately struck by the ancient portraits.

Although the painter tried his best to make the other person look delicate, he still couldn't escape the characteristics of a round face, narrow eyes, big ears and thick lips.

Mu Nanjin nodded: "It's indeed good."

[He goes out to drink and have fun every day, and is very generous in giving gifts. He spends all his monthly allowance in less than half a month. How can such a man support his family? Haha, he really introduced me to a good blind date. ]

Jiang Zhenru raised her head proudly: "Of course the person I picked for you is good."

Tang Wenzong, Tang Jingrui: "..."

Mu Nanjin turned to the next page. He couldn't tell any difference between the person in the portrait and the one on the previous page, except that the person was a little fatter and had a different hair crown.

"He is the county magistrate of Changxing County, a few years older than the previous master. Although he was married before, his wife died during childbirth. Now he is the only one left in the family. If you marry him, you will be the mistress of the house. No one in Changxing County will dare to bully you or say anything bad about you."

[Yes, no one bullied me, except for the county magistrate, right? The wife of the previous county magistrate was beaten by the county magistrate until she gave birth prematurely and died of dystocia. The county magistrate of Changxing County is a pervert. His previous wives were beaten to death by him. However, since he was the county magistrate, no one dared to investigate him, so everyone just assumed that his wives died accidentally.]

Tang Wenzong, Tang Jingrui: "..."

Previous wives?

Did the magistrate of Changxing County have so many wives before?

Then why doesn’t Jiang Zhenru explain it clearly?

Mu Nanjin closed the album and asked: "Were the people in this album selected by my aunt?"

"Yes, the person your aunt picked for you will definitely not be bad."

[It seems that Tang Liuzhao really can't tolerate me anymore. ]

Mu Nanjin glanced at the box given by the Queen Mother.

【It's time to move out of the Tang family. 】

She didn't care about Tang Liuzhao because Mu Qinyi and the original owner owed Tang Liuzhao too much.

Tang Wenzong and Tang Jingrui were slightly stunned.

Mu Nanjin stood up and said, "Before he left, my uncle promised to find a man better than Tang Jingrui to be my husband. Madam, do you think these people are better than your son?"

Jiang Zhenru blurted out: "How can they be better than my son?"

"In that case, why did you introduce them to me?"

Jiang Zhenru: “…”

Madam Tang snorted in annoyance: "Don't you even look at your status? How dare you dream of marrying a man better than Jing Rui? Are you dreaming?"

In her heart, no one can compare to her grandson.

Mu Nanjin sneered.

Although she didn't say anything, they could see from her face that "I will find a man better than Tang Jingrui."

She didn't waste time talking to them, picked up the Queen Mother's reward and left the hall.

"Mu Nanjin, come back here."

Jiang Zhenru chased after him.

Madam Tang said angrily, "Let her go. I want to see how good a husband she can find herself."

Tang Wenzong grabbed Jiang Zhenru's arm and whispered, "None of these people are good, so don't introduce them."

Jiang Zhenru was unhappy: "Why are they not good? They were carefully selected by Liu Zhaoqian and I. I don't know how much effort we put into picking them out. Why are they not good?"

"Liu Zhao..." Tang Wenzong sighed, "Forget it, I won't say any more."

Jiang Zhenru was puzzled.

Tang Jingrui waited until his mother returned to the hall before walking up to Tang Wenzong: "Dad, what's wrong with aunt? Why did she push Mu Nanjin into the fire pit?"

Emperor Wenzong of Tang didn't know what was going on, but he could feel that Tang Liuzhao's resentment towards Mu Nanjin had been growing in recent years.

"Don't worry about adults' affairs."

Tang Jingrui: “…”

Darlings, collect, collect, collect, collect and support us, muah
