The main army returned slowly in the latter half of the month, while Dou Shiliu and Mu Xi went directly back to Fengluo Kingdom without sending any news, so Fengluo Kingdom was very quiet.
But as Dou Shiliu passed through the streets and alleys, he could hear their discussions, all praising them.
Mu Xi first returned to the Mu King's Mansion. It was exactly the same place where he had left before. The steward was excited about Mu Xi's return for a moment, then fell silent.
Muxi gave him a few instructions, and then went to the palace with Dou Shiliu.
This time, Dou Shiliu was taken inside by Mu Xi; in the past, she would have had to wait outside.
"Give"
General Muxi gave the token to Mutuo and handed over the soldiers he had trained for two years to Mutuo without any hesitation.
Dou Shiliu: "?"
Her eyes trembled slightly, and her throat moved, "Mu..." Mu Xi held her hand tightly, looking at her, which prevented Dou Shiliu from asking any questions.
"Hahahaha, my little brother is really a commoner..." Mu Tuo's eyes flashed with shock, and he laughed without any attempt to hide it.
He took the military tally directly, and the real army lay quietly in Mu Tuo's hands.
Suddenly, Mu Xi spoke calmly, "Can we go now?"
"good"
Mu Tuo readily agreed. He got the military power he had always wanted. His deal with Mu Xi was to conquer the foreign country, hand over the military power, and then let them leave.
...
Mu Tuo released Mu Xi and retired to the mountains.
Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered. Did Mu Xi want to retire into seclusion?
Even after Mu Xi led Dou Shiliu out of the palace, she was still a little dazed. A breeze blew across her face, and Dou Shiliu turned around and grabbed Mu Xi's hand tightly.
"Are you sure?" Why would you choose to suffer when you have such a good life?
Dou Shiliu's eyes were fixed on Mu Xi.
"Um"
"Okay," Dou Shiliu nodded. "At worst, I'll cook with firewood."
Muqi is someone who never lifts a finger to cook, and Dou Shiliu wouldn't let him do it.
Bai Tuan silently complained, guessing that they would probably just grab a cook from the countryside and bring him home.
Mu Xi did not accept Mu Tuo's welcome-back banquet. While the whole of Fengluo Kingdom was celebrating, Mu Xi left Fengluo Kingdom in a low-key carriage.
Inside the car, one leg was propped up on Mu Xi's body, while Dou Shiliu lay comfortably. Mu Xi sat upright, her eyes expressionless.
"Muxi, I want to eat rice cake."
"Get up and eat," Mu Xi said, looking down at Dou Shiliu, who was radiating utter laziness, his eyes half-closed, seemingly drowsy.
Dou Shiliu's eyes flickered, and he mumbled, "Then I won't eat it," before closing his eyes and going to sleep.
She and Muxi rushed back without stopping, and without resting for more than a few days, they started going out again.
Seeing her languid state, Mu Xi smiled, straightened her legs, and closed his eyes to rest.
The carriage sped eastward along the radiant light, leaving two deep tracks in its wake.
...
"Say it again..."
"So what if I call you a coward?"
"You...you..." The person's neck turned red, and they kept saying "you" without being able to speak. Their eyes were a little red, and they looked like they were about to cry.
"I...I...what's wrong?" The man put his hands on his hips and said righteously, "You're a coward. Miss Fu is about to throw her bridal bouquet to get married today, and you don't even dare to try. I look down on you."
Dou Shiliu glanced down at the commotion downstairs and raised an eyebrow. Xiao Qiong and Fatty were the best of friends, so why were they arguing down there today?
Mu Xi put down her chopsticks, glanced at Dou Shiliu who was not eating properly, then looked down at him and said calmly, "Eat properly."
Dou Shiliu's ears twitched, and he immediately picked up his bowl and ate properly. However, his eyes kept wandering, which made Mu Xi feel a little amused.
They arrived in the town half a month later. Dou Shiliu never expected that Muxi would find such a picturesque town, with an old house still inhabited by many servants.
Muxi owns many shops, so he has no worries about food and clothing. It's a shame that Dou Shiliu is still thinking about cooking for Muxi so he won't go hungry.
In the end, I still have to rely on others to support me.
Dou Shiliu could still hear the noise downstairs. From what she could make out, it seemed that the fat man liked the women in the Fu family, but was too timid to confess his feelings.
As for Yan, she was well aware of the fat man's feelings. Today, she learned that Miss Fu was going to throw a bridal bouquet to choose a husband, but the fat man still didn't make any move, so she got anxious.
Qi Yan got so angry that she started arguing with the fat man.
Fate is truly an unpredictable thing. Dou Shiliu took a bite of broccoli and watched the two arguing with great interest, finding it incredibly amusing.
"Shall we go down and take a closer look?"
Dou Shiliu's heart sank. She quickly looked around, her eyes and ears alert, and then indifferently raised her head. "No, husband, I can eat now."
Mu Xi glanced at her indifferently with his narrow eyes, and said nothing more. However, he was quite satisfied when Dou Shiliu obediently finished her meal.
When Dou Shiliu came to his senses, Qian Yan and Fatty were no longer there. He felt a little regretful, wondering if he had gone to look for that Miss Fu.
Mu Xi got up and walked with her, while the girls on the roadside cast envious glances. Their adoring eyes seemed glued to Mu Xi, and Dou Shiliu could feel the heat even from the side.
Feeling a bit down, I suddenly felt someone grasp my hand.
Would you like some candied hawthorn berries?
A voice as clear as a spring, soothing and tingling.
Dou Shiliu's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded. Mu Xi gave the vendor a few copper coins and handed him a string of candied hawthorns.
Dou Shiliu could hear the girls gushing over Mu Xi's good looks; they were completely captivated by his appearance.
What a pity, he's mine.
Dou Shiliu gave the group of girls a smug and provocative smile, then took Mu Xi's candied hawthorn and took a meaningful bite.
Small teeth marks were left on the larger hawthorns, and Dou Shiliu's face was smeared with some red juice.
A smile flickered in Mu Xi's light eyes as she gently wiped the red mark from the tip of her nose.
The young girls: "Waaaaah!"
How gentle they are! They really want to marry Lord Mu! Men can have three wives and four concubines, so why does Lord Mu only have Miss Chun An?
The perfect man is completely under Miss An's thumb.
Crying T﹏T
Dou Shiliu had clearly finished showing off, and happily went home with Mu Xi.
The scenery in this town is truly beautiful, with several historical sites and people boating on the lake, just as beautiful as West Lake.
The culture and education here are quite different from those in their Fengluo Kingdom. It is more open here, and both men and women can come to each other's homes to propose marriage.
As long as two people are attracted to each other, their parents will agree; there seems to be no jealousy or darkness here.
Dou Shiliu has not been seen so far.
