Chapter 238 I heard that the commander is a love-minded person

As soon as Lu Shuyan finished speaking, Yuwen Mu quickly put down his raised legs and turned around.

"When?"

Lu Shuyan was puzzled, "When?"

"I agree to marry you. When will you come to my house to propose marriage?"

Lu Shuyan was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help laughing. It wasn't the faint smile she had in the past. This time, her eyes were crooked as she laughed. "Yuwen Mu, this is such an important matter, you should think about it carefully before answering me."

Yuwen Mu had never seen Lu Shuyan smile so happily before. He thought to himself: She looks so beautiful when she smiles. I really hope I can see her every day in the future.

"When I was learning martial arts from my master, he told me that martial artists should avoid thinking too much. When the opponent makes a move, I don't have time to think, but should immediately use the corresponding moves. Miss Lu, I don't need to think too much about your question, because I have never had another plan. From beginning to end, there is only one."

Lu Shuyan's hands fiddled with the abacus unconsciously. The sound of the beads hitting each other calmed her down. She looked up at Yuwen Mu and said, "But if you take bribes, you might be laughed at by your colleagues, friends, or even people who don't know you. Aren't you afraid?"

Yuwen Mu frowned. He was really puzzled by this question. "Why are they making fun of me? My wife is capable, smart, and beautiful. They envy me so much. Do you know what the most abundant thing in our Imperial City Division is?"

"What?"

"I'm single."

Yu Wenmu said these two words expressionlessly, and Lu Shuyan couldn't hold back her laughter again.

"As for people I don't know, they don't have the chance to make fun of me."

Lu Shuyan nodded, "I understand. An incense stick of time has passed for a long time. You should get busy."

Yuwen Mu stood still...

"I'll wait here until you get off duty, okay?"

After hearing this, Yuwen Mu nodded, turned around and left the shop, but...

"Boss, what's wrong with you?"

Yuwen Mu looked at his subordinate expressionlessly, "Nothing."

"Nothing, then why do you walk with your hands and feet together?"

Yuwen Mu coughed lightly and said, "This is a new technique, don't ask too many questions."

"So that's how it is!" The subordinates' eyes were instantly filled with awe. He was indeed the boss, practicing martial arts all the time.

In the shop, Lu Shuyan went upstairs to the upper room, sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. When she raised the tea to her lips, Lu Shuyan saw her own smiling eyes reflected in the tea.

She whispered softly, "Lu Shuyan looks very happy, doesn't she?"

In the afternoon, Yu Wenmu came to the shop after finishing his shift. As soon as he came in, he stared at Lu Shuyan and didn't move.

Lu Shuyan said to him: "I will go home tonight to discuss this with my parents."

"Am I going too? I heard that you have to bring gifts when you meet your parents-in-law for the first time."

"You don't have to today. If you want, just send me home. It's not time yet." The night is long and dreams are many. Lu Shuyan plans to have it clear with her father and mother in the near future. She said to Yu Wenmu, "You don't have to worry. My mother will listen to me on my decision. As for my father, his opinion is not important."

Qiulan, who was standing behind Lu Shuyan, was so shocked that her eyes widened. She pinched herself hard to keep from complaining. She went out to buy something in the afternoon and was gone for half an hour. What happened in this half an hour? How come they were the father-in-law and the mother-in-law?

Qiulan was like this, because she at least knew that Lord Yuwen had been in love with her daughter for a long time. But Si Nanbo and Lu Shuyan's mother had no idea about this. When they heard about it, they were stunned and didn't say a word for a long time.

When Lu Shuyan returned home in the evening, she asked someone to invite her father to her mother's yard. Si Nanbo and his wife had not sat at the same table for a long time. Guan Shi was annoyed when she saw Si Nanbo. She didn't give him any extra glances when she saw him. She just asked her daughter: "Shu'er, you just said you had something to tell us. What is it?"

Lu Shuyan stood up and poured a cup of tea for each of her parents. After sitting down, she said calmly, "I plan to get married. I have discussed with Yuwen Mu, the current commander of the Imperial City Department. He will marry into my Lu family. I asked my father and mother to come here today to tell them about this. If you have any opinions about the wedding date, you can also tell your daughter."

Si Nanbo was stunned for a moment and said, "The commander of the Imperial City? It's a decent position, but your last name is Yuwen, so you shouldn't be from a wealthy family. There doesn't seem to be anyone with the last name Yuwen in the capital, right?"

Lu Shuyan said bluntly, "Father, Yuwen Mu's parents are both deceased, so his family background is indeed ordinary, but don't think about marrying up. The emperor's son has a high enough family background, can he marry into your Lu family?"

Si Nanbo was a little embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed so blatantly, but he still said stubbornly: "What are you talking about? Every girl marries a rich man. Dad is doing this for your own good. We have two brothers like you in our family, so why should we ask you to take bribes?"

Lu Shuyan didn't waste any words. She had been prepared. She took out the account book and threw it in front of Si Nanbo. "Father, take a good look. With your two sons, our Lu family will have to starve in three years. But it doesn't matter to my daughter. If my daughter gets married, I won't have to starve."

Si Nanbo picked up the account book suspiciously. It recorded the expenses of his two sons. Forget Hua'er. It turned out that Hao'er spent more money than him, his father!

"Look at the other one, my dear brother. Has he been in charge of the shop you gave him for half a year? He sold it, and I am not afraid to tell you that I am the owner of these shops now, not the Lu family. The court is busy selecting female officials now. If you can think it through and let your daughter inherit the throne soon, the emperor may even praise you."

"You..." Si Nanbo's hands were shaking as he held the account book. He seemed to not recognize his daughter. "Shu'er, why have you become like this?"

"Father, you are only a father to Lu Zehao, so naturally you don't know when your daughter became like this. Your daughter hopes that you will think it over before leaving this room. If you agree to this matter, please write a letter to pass the title to your daughter, and your daughter will ensure that you will be rich until your old age. If you don't agree, your daughter will get more than this." After Lu Shuyan finished speaking, she placed her hand on the account book and tapped it lightly.

"Are you threatening your father?!"

"My daughter is just stating the truth. How can it be called a threat? To be honest, Yuwen Mu is very young but he is highly regarded by the emperor. He is the commander of the Imperial City Department and is a close confidant of the emperor. It is not difficult for him to ask for a marriage appointment. If father does not agree to my daughter's request, these people may have the surname Lu now, but they may have the surname Yuwen in the future."

Si Nanbo was so angry that his chest was heaving. He picked up the teacup, drank it all, then stood up and said, "It's up to you." Then he shook his sleeves and went out.

"Father, don't forget to submit a petition to confer the title of Si Nan Bo's Crown Prince... Oh no, it should be Si Nan Bo's Crown Princess."
