Today, Marquis Mu Wei was at his residence when he heard the announcement and happily went to the door to greet his two children.
When Mu Weihou saw his daughter whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he quickly went forward to hug Mu Jin and affectionately patted her head, saying, "Let Daddy take a good look at you. It's been more than three years since I last saw you. My A Jin seems to have grown taller. Did you miss Daddy?"
Mu Jin's heart softened, but she was still not quite used to the sudden close interaction between the father and daughter, so she replied somewhat perfunctorily, "I miss you, I miss Father and Brother. But Father, the journey was so tiring. If you have any questions, you can ask Brother. Let me go wash up first."
Marquis Mu Wei laughed heartily, as if showing his affection, and said, "Okay."
Turning her head, she saw a soldier supporting an injured man next to Mu Yan and asked, "Who is this?" Mu Jin said as she walked, "My brother picked him up by the roadside." Then, led by her maid, she went to the courtyard of the general's daughter.
The young lady's courtyard in the general's mansion was exquisite and small, with beautifully manicured gardens and a warm and comfortable interior.
For the past three years, even though Mu Jin has not been in the General's Mansion, Qingwan Courtyard has been cleaned every day.
Perhaps it was this body's instinctive desire that made Mu Jin deeply feel the warmth of home here.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a maid rushed over and hugged Mu Jin, crying, "Miss is finally back! I missed you so much! I've been wanting to find you, but I didn't know where to go... I... I..."
Mu Jin looked at the maid who was crying uncontrollably, gently nudged her, and looked at her with a face full of questions.
The maid looked at Mu Jin, who was staring blankly at her, and said, "Miss, what's wrong? It's me, Qing'er!"
Mu Jin said, "Alright, stop crying. I'm tired. Prepare some hot water for me. I want to take a bath."
Na Qing'er forced back her tears and said, "Yes, Miss, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
Mu Jin nodded and walked into the inner room. She looked around and saw an antique dressing table in one corner of the room, with an exquisite bronze mirror on it.
In another corner of the room was a comfortable large bed, with sheets and blankets made of the finest silk, soft and smooth.
A string of sachets hangs above the bed, emitting a faint fragrance that brings a sense of peace and comfort.
Next to the bed was a large wardrobe. Mu Jin went forward and opened the wardrobe, which was full of bright red and purple clothes. She frowned and felt a little disagreement with the original owner's taste in clothing.
At this moment, a maid came over and said, "Miss, the bath water in the side room is ready. You may go and take a bath now."
Mu Jin nodded and said, "Help me pick out a plain-colored dress; I'll be wearing it later."
Qing'er was taken aback: "Miss usually likes to wear brightly colored clothes, and she looks especially beautiful in that crimson gauze dress."
Mu Jin smiled and said, "I suddenly want to change my style."
Qing'er smiled and said, "Qing'er thinks Miss looks good in anything."
Mu Jin entered the side room, where there was a large bathtub in the center, covered with rose petals. She scooped up a handful of water and smelled it, finding it very pleasant.
She loosened her belt, slowly took off her clothes, and lay down in the bathtub to soak in the bath.
Her body shone like white jade, radiating a soft glow in the dim light. The rose petal water washed away her fatigue.
Soon after, Qing'er came over to help Mu Jin wipe her body. Mu Jin was a little unaccustomed to it, but she was afraid that she wouldn't know how to wear such complicated clothes, so she let Qing'er help her get ready.
Qing'er picked up a light blue fitted dress and helped Mu Jin put it on, then draped a white gauze robe over Mu Jin's shoulders.
Mu Jin walked to the dressing table and asked Qing'er to simply tie her hair into a cloud bun. She then picked out a jade hairpin from the dressing table, inserted it into the bun, and walked out of Qingwan Courtyard toward the main hall.
Inside the hall, Mu Weihou and his son Mu Yan were waiting for Mu Jin. Before that, Mu Yan had told Mu Weihou in detail what Mu Jin had told her about the Yunwang Mansion and the inescapable mountain.
When Mu Weihou saw Mu Jin approaching, he hugged her tightly again, his heart aching. "My dear Jin, you've suffered so much these past few years. Your father is useless; he couldn't stay in the capital to be with you."
As she spoke, she became increasingly heartbroken, releasing Mu Jin, turning around, slamming her hand on the table, and cursing: "Su Yuntian actually dared to hurt you like this for that bitch!"
Seeing the furious Marquis Mu Wei, Mu Jin said, "Father, don't be angry. I will handle this matter myself."
Marquis Mu Wei was taken aback: "What are A-Jin's plans?"
Mu Jin blinked and laughed, "Of course, I'll go back to the Yunwang Mansion to deal with those two bitches, and also get a divorce from Su Yuntian while I'm at it."
Marquis Muwei immediately gave a thumbs up: "Ah Jin, well done! You are indeed worthy of being my daughter, Marquis Muwei. Don't be afraid, no matter what happens, your father will support you."
Hearing Mu Weihou's domineering tone, Mu Jin felt a warmth in her heart. Looking at her imposing father and her heroic and warm-hearted brother, she became more and more satisfied.
After dinner, Mu Jin, Mu Weihou, and Mu Yan returned to Qingwan Courtyard, where Qing'er helped her undress and let her hair down.
Mu Jin said, "Let me tell you what has happened in the past year while I was away from the capital."
Qing'er was about to cry again, but Mu Jin stopped her: "If you cry again, I'll throw you out."
Qing'er immediately covered her mouth with her hand and shook her head: "I won't cry, I won't cry."
Qing'er calmed herself down and said that Mu Jin was forced to kneel that day, and she was knocked unconscious and dragged to the woodshed. When she woke up the next day, she found that Mu Jin had been sent away.
Later, she went to ask Guangfu, Su Yuntian, and even Shen Qianqian for help, but no one told her anything.
Later, when Shen Qianqian's maid was chatting with someone, she learned that she was going to be sold off. So she took some money and bribed a vegetable delivery woman to get me out of there.
After returning to the General's Mansion, Qing'er sent a message to Marquis Muwei, informing him of Mu Jin's humiliation and disappearance at the Prince Yun's Mansion. She then stayed at the General's Mansion to wait for Mu Jin's return.
Mu Jin said thoughtfully, "I remember the butler saying that I was the one who broke up Su Yuntian and Shen Qianqian, so they have always held a grudge against me?"
Qing'er retorted, "Nonsense! Miss likes the Prince, and you two are a perfect match. Why can't you be together? Besides, this marriage was personally decreed by the Emperor. Who dares to say a word against it?"
Mu Jin patted Qing'er's shoulder with approval. She felt that Qing'er's words of bullying others sounded reasonable.
Qing'er glanced at her timidly: "Miss, you just told the General in the hall that you wanted to divorce the Prince, is that true?"
Mu Jin smiled and said, "On the way to Hanshan Village, they put me on the carriage and I fell seriously ill. It almost killed me. When I woke up, I forgot some things, and I found that I don't seem to like Su Yuntian anymore. Now I only think about how to have an amicable divorce with him and live my carefree life. What is there to be sad about?"
Qing'er still asked with some concern, "After the divorce, aren't you afraid of what people will say?"
Mu Jinxi glanced at Qing'er, her eyes clearly saying, "Who dares!"
