The War King's army was defeated!
Aunt Liu was unaware of this news, but after hearing Qianmo's words, she became more thoughtful.
"This servant will go now. If you need anything, please call me if you need anything, Aunt Liu." Qianmo didn't have time to stay and talk to Aunt Liu for long; he still needed to tell the other concubines and young ladies the news.
Aunt Liu nodded, then looked thoughtfully at Granny Zhang beside her and said, "Have someone quickly go to the palace to ask if there's anything we need to do. The chaos in Wucheng might be an opportunity for the Liu family. Also, have someone inform Father that we must proceed with caution."
"Yes, yes, yes, this servant will send someone right away." Granny Zhang knew this was a big deal and dared not be careless in the slightest. After responding, she jogged out of the courtyard.
Aunt Liu glanced resentfully in the direction of the study. Apart from occasionally seeing the master at the old lady's place, she hadn't spent much time alone with this man in a long time.
Men are all fickle and easily bored, but that vixen from the Lan family has been in the household for several years now. What kind of charm does she possess that has made the master so infatuated?
She angrily flung the silk scarf in her hand and returned to Ziyuan in a depressed mood.
Inside the room, Qian Muxue was happily embroidering a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water, her mind filled with beautiful dreams, until footsteps approached. She came back to her senses, looked up, and said shyly, "Mother, how is my embroidery?"
"What a beautiful picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water! Our Muxue is so skillful. If the Crown Prince saw it, he would be delighted." Aunt Liu nodded in satisfaction, still harboring the idea of Muxue becoming a phoenix.
Qian Muxue forced a smile, then snatched the embroidery and continued embroidering.
"By the way, your father just told the steward to tell everyone not to go out for the next few days. Wucheng is probably going to be in chaos for a while." Aunt Liu poured herself a cup of tea, thinking about the silent Su Shi and Qian Youxue who kept running over there.
"Why is there chaos? The city is guarded by the War King's army. Who would dare to cause trouble?" Qian Muxue thought that this was just because her father didn't want everyone to be laughed at because of that good-for-nothing.
Aunt Liu shook her head, sighing with emotion, "That was in the past. Who knows if there will be a War King in the future? The steward said that the War King was defeated and returned to the city yesterday, and he's now a useless piece of trash. What emperor would treat a useless piece of trash well?"
Ouch……
Qian Muxue's hand trembled, and her finger was cut by the needle, with blood gushing out continuously.
"How could someone so big be so careless?" Aunt Liu hurriedly put down her cup and came over to stop the bleeding for Qian Muxue.
Qian Muxue snapped out of her daze and withdrew her hand: "I made a mistake with the embroidery just now, it's nothing, Muxue will be more careful in the future."
“You’re going to be the Crown Princess. I’ve heard the Crown Prince is extremely picky about women. You’d better not have any scars. You have to be careful in everything you do. Don’t be like your sister, who’s always so reckless. I don’t know when she’ll be back from that courtyard. If…” Aunt Liu took Mu Xue’s hand back again and kept nagging.
Qian Muxue listened absentmindedly, her eyes slightly red, and her heart aching terribly.
Her mother wanted her to become the Crown Princess, but her heart already belonged to someone else. That person filled her heart completely, leaving no room for anyone else to enter.
