Chapter 109 Persuasion

The eldest master said that he would ask his friends to help find out, so Xu Muhua could only wait for the news.

However, while waiting for the news, she had the same dream for several nights in a row.

The content of the dream was different, but the expression was the same. No matter what the dream was like, it ended with the tragic death of the father and son of Duke Cheng.

Although she had not been in contact with this nominal father and elder brother after she crossed into the book, since she occupied their bodies and became the lady of Duke Cheng's mansion, she could not stay out of it and really treat them as irrelevant people.

Not to mention that in her memory, the two of them also loved the original owner very much. In other words, if nothing unexpected happens, the person who will enjoy their love in the future will be herself.

She couldn't remain indifferent any more.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you."

Xu Muhua thought about it and decided to go to Xu's mother.

"What is it? Tell me."

Xu's mother was busy with needlework without raising her head.

Xu Muhua's eyes fell on her work. It can be seen that she was sewing a dress.

The color was raven blue, with dark patterns on it, which were looming with the change of angles, low-key and noble. Xu's mother was carefully embroidering carefully selected patterns on the lapels and cuffs. They were all patterns with festive meanings, just suitable for wearing during the Chinese New Year.

Obviously, it was a dress embroidered for her husband who was about to return. Every stitch and thread expressed her infinite longing and tenderness for her husband.

"Why don't you speak? Go ahead, I'm listening!"

Mother Xu hadn't heard her daughter speak for a long time. She looked up at her and saw that she was staring at the needlework in her hands. She thought she was worried that she didn't hear, so she couldn't help but smile.

"Mom, are you making this dress for Dad? It's so beautiful!"

Mother Xu said angrily, "I haven't finished it yet, how do you know it's beautiful?"

"Of course, don't I know about mother's craftsmanship? Dad is so lucky to wear clothes sewn by mother."

She looked envious.

Mother Xu laughed and scolded, "You silly girl, didn't I make

clothes for you?" When the children were young, she made all their underwear. When they grew up, they had to rely on her in the mansion. She was really overwhelmed, so she stopped.

"Isn't that all in the past?"

Xu Muhua said with her neck stiff.

"Okay, okay, when I'm done with this, I'll make one for you, one for each of you!"

"I'll help you then!"

"You help? Don't make things worse. Your needlework looks worse than a three-year-old child!"

Xu's mother complained bluntly.

Xu Muhua didn't feel ashamed at all. "Everyone has their own strengths. I'm not good at needlework, but I'm good at other things!"

Xu's mother asked casually, "Tell me what you're good at?"

"I'm good at dreaming!"

Xu's mother paused, and somehow remembered the previous incident. She put down the needlework in her hand, looked at her, and asked suspiciously, "Muhua, you, you didn't have any weird dreams again, did you?"

Xu Muhua straightened her face and nodded.

Xu's mother couldn't help but panic when she saw the expression on her face.

It doesn't look good! What on earth did she dream about?

Xu Muhua looked around deliberately, full of hints.

Xu's mother winked at the servants beside her, and soon everyone else in the room left. Xu Muhua then said in a somewhat panicked voice: "Mom, I have been dreaming these days. I dreamed about my father and my elder brother. I dreamed that they encountered danger on their way back, and in the end..."

Xu's mother's heart suddenly jumped, "What happened in the end?"

Xu Muhua pursed her lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xu's mother guessed what had happened and panicked for a moment, but then she calmed herself down and comforted her, "It's just a dream. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Your dream proves that your father and elder brother will return safely! Yes, that's it!"

"Mom, of course I also hope that dad and elder brother will return safely, but I have had such dreams for several days in a row. In the dreams, dad and elder brother are calling me to save them... Mom, I think this is a warning. We can't pretend nothing happened!"

Xu Muhua was worried and anxious.

"Don't we have a guard team in our house? Let's send them out and wait for Daddy and Big Brother on their way back. This way, they can help if there is real danger. No, it doesn't matter if they don't have one!"

Xu's mother was moved, "But if the guard team leaves, the house..."

"Mom, we are in the capital, under the feet of the emperor, what can happen? Daddy and Big Brother will be back soon, who dares to cause trouble to us at this time? Daddy and Big Brother's safety is more important! Just leave a few people to guard, and the others - Mom, it's better to find a few more people with great kung fu. How about we ask Daddy's friends for help in private?"

Duke Cheng and the Crown Prince have been at the border for many years, and the people around them naturally follow them to the border. Besides their family members, there is only a guard team left in the capital. Usually they serve as guards in the mansion.

Some of these people were recruited, but most of them were soldiers that the Duke had led before. They left the barracks for various reasons and were kept in the Duke's Mansion by the Duke, so their abilities are limited. They

may be more than enough to deal with some normal crises, but if what she dreamed of was true, it would not be enough. By then, not only will they fail to save people, but they will also be killed and it will be too late to regret.

Xu's mother was still a little hesitant at first, thinking that it was just a dream and there was no need to be so nervous and take it seriously. But seeing her daughter's solemn face, and thinking of the last time she beat Huazi, her worries about her husband and eldest son prevailed.

She comforted herself in her heart. What the daughter said made sense. If something really happened, it would be a matter of life and death to be prepared in advance! If nothing happened, nothing was lost, and it would be a peace of mind. It's always right to be prepared for the worst. Just think of

it as picking them up in advance. It's impossible for the husband and eldest son to come back with a large army. At most, it will be a small team. If they really encounter some special situation, it is possible that they can't cope with it. Anything is possible when you are caught off guard.

And there is no guarantee that someone in the capital will not ambush you along the way...

"Okay, mother will arrange this matter. Don't tell anyone, let alone your grandmother. Your grandmother is old and can't stand hearing such things."

"Mom, I know. Mom, you have to hurry up, I'm afraid it will be too late!"

After she said that, Xu's mother couldn't sit still anymore. How could she still think about sewing clothes?

"You go back first, Rong Niang will think about how to deal with it."

Xu Muhua knew that she was worried, so she didn't say much and left obediently.

But she also had her own plans in her mind.

She definitely couldn't tell everyone the content of her dream. Even if she did, no one would take it seriously. Most of them would think it was a child's nonsense. No one knew what happened in the dream better than herself.

She had to find a way to go with it!
