After Pingguo got married, the next maid to be appointed in Ren Yaoqi's house was Sangzhen.
Sangzhen and Pingguo entered the mansion together and were about the same age. Compared to Pingguo's taciturn nature, Sangzhen was more outgoing, yet cautious, somewhat like Ren Yaohua's friend, Wujing. Both Pingguo and Sangzhen were carefully nurtured by Ren Yaoqi, who had served him for years.
Ren Yaoqi also had plans for Sang Zhen, wanting to keep her by his side, acting as her chambermaid, just like Ping Guo. So, Ren Yaoqi had called Sang Zhen over several times, asking if she had anyone she liked. But each time, Sang Zhen blushed and shook her head, saying no. Ren Yaoqi hadn't found anyone suitable among the people she had brought from the Ren family, while there were many suitable women of the same age at the Yanbei Palace. However, since Ren Yaoqi had only been married there for a short time and wasn't familiar with the situation, she hadn't considered it for the time being, and so she had to put it aside for the time being.
One day, Xiao Jinglin came to find Ren Yaoqi, and the two of them went to the Princess's Nine Suns Palace together. Halfway there, they encountered a group of palace guards. There were many guards in the inner and outer palaces of the Yanbei Palace, but it was rare to see many guards walking around in the inner palace where the masters lived, but there were some guards there.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin were walking and talking, and didn't take it seriously at first, but unexpectedly one of the guards ran out from the team and came to greet Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin.
Because the voice sounded familiar, Ren Yaoqi took a look and found that it was the young general Mu Hu, whom he had met several times before.
As soon as Xiao Jinglin saw him, she rolled her eyes, then looked at him with a stern face without saying a word.
Mu Hu, on the other hand, wore a silly smile and racked his brains to answer Xiao Jinglin. However, he continued to stammer and stammer without getting to the point. Xiao Jinglin was already growing impatient and said, "Don't you have anything to do all day? I heard Min Wenqing is short of staff. If you're too bored, I'll let you go."
Mu Hulian hesitated a bit shyly before mustering up the courage to say, "No, General... General, I have something to ask of you."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinglin glanced at Hongying who was following behind him, and looked at Mu Hu with an unfathomable look.
Mu Hu also glanced at Hong Ying and smiled a little embarrassedly. Then he turned to Ren Yaoqi and said, "Young Madam, can I ask you a favor?"
Ren Yaoqi was a little surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Jinglin. She thought Mu Hu came to ask Xiao Jinglin for something, so why did he end up asking her for help?
However, Ren Yaoqi had a good impression of General Mu Hu, so he smiled and said, "General Mu, what do you want?"
Mu Hu smiled shyly. Even though he had a dark face, everyone could feel his blush: "Well... I want to marry... I want to marry Nanxing. I hope the young lady can agree to it."
Ren Yaoqi was stunned.
Hongying, who was standing behind Xiao Jinglin, widened her eyes upon hearing this and looked up at Mu Hu in surprise. However, there was only surprise in Hongying's eyes. She didn't know many things, and she didn't know that Mu Hu had ever fallen in love with her.
Without waiting for Ren Yaoqi's answer, Xiao Jinglin said unhappily, "Nanxing isn't her maid, why are you looking for her to marry her? Besides, isn't Nanxing away on a long trip?"
Mu Hu said shyly, "Nanxing came back yesterday. I saw it with my own eyes. Since she is the young master's person, she is naturally under the care of the young lady." As he said this, he smiled shyly and flatteringly at Ren Yaoqi.
