Chapter 222: Xiangqin and Hua Wuzui
Xiangqin was standing on the shore, staring in amazement, sobbing, "My master is so beautiful! If I were a man, I would like my master too."
Mu Wanyan has been fond of hot spring bathing recently. Whenever she thinks of Di Xiuyan, she can't help but think of the scene of the two of them in the hot spring cave.
Before, when Di Xiuyan was by her side, she despised his impatience. Now that he had gone to war for his country and his people, Mu Wanyan missed him inexplicably.
This hot spring in the back mountain of Chen Wangfu was a treasure she had recently discovered. The environment was pleasant, the temperature was moderate, and most importantly, no one was interested in it.
It is most suitable for people like her to meditate in the pool and think of the past when seeing the objects.
Xiang Qin squatted on the shore and gently wiped Mu Wanyan's back with a soft towel.
"Master, you can cry if you want. There are still thirteen days left. I will suffer for you."
Mu Wanyan: "Now is not the time to cry. In fact, the person I am most reluctant to let go of is you."
She looked at Xiang Qin seriously and said, "I'm still a little worried about you going to Hua Wuzui's place. Although Master Wuzui is very skilled in martial arts, he can't always look after you."
"The key point is... he and Pei Yuzhu still have an unresolved feud." Mu Wanyan hesitated to speak.
She heard some rumors that no one in the capital dared to marry Pei Yuzhu, who was demoted to a commoner, so Concubine Xiao set her sights on Hua Wuzui again.
Hua's Pharmacy is a wealthy and powerful family. If Pei Yuzhu marries him, not only can her reputation be restored, but Hua Wuzui should be the best match she can marry at the moment.
However, it is said that Hua Wuzui was determined and did not even look at the dowry of tens of thousands of taels of silver, and directly rejected Pei Yuzhu.
"I, Hua Wuzui, am not worthy of having to endure the pain of trying to kill my woman!" He said this and also offended Concubine Xiao.
Because of her relationship with the Xuanwu military camp, Concubine Xiao did not dare to touch Hua Wuzui, but it was hard to say about Xiang Qin.
Mu Wanyan was worried that she would be implicated innocently.
However, Xiang Qin did not look disappointed after hearing Mu Wanyan's words.
She stammered and said to Mu Wanyan: "I...I...I will not go to Brother Wuzui's place for the time being. I want to go to the Xuanwu military camp to avoid the limelight."
"General Chi Yan said that if I wait for the master in the military camp, the master will feel more at ease!"
Hearing this, Mu Wanyan turned her head sharply to look at Xiang Qin, "It does make me feel more at ease, but does he have any objection to you not going to Hua Wuzui's place?"
Xiang Qin rubbed her hands awkwardly and coughed twice: "Hey, Brother Wuzui is a good person."
Then he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Mu Wanyan: "Did Hua Wuzui bully you?"
Xiang Qin: "Not really, I just don't want him to suffer because of me."
She sighed and said slowly, "We have nothing in common, and every time we talk it's awkward. I can see that he really tries hard to be nice to me. But——"
Xiang Qin finished her words in one breath: "But I think we are really not suitable. Every time he talks to me about poetry or business."
"But I only know how to talk about needlework and sweeping the yard. How can I understand the elegance of young men and young ladies? I feel really restrained when I am with him."
"Xiang Qin—" Mu Wanyan grabbed Xiang Qin's hand, feeling very distressed: "I should have taken some time to teach you these. I neglected it."
Xiang Qin smiled and said, "How can I learn it overnight? Those young masters and young ladies may have started learning to read account books since they can remember. Without a few years of practice, even if the Hua family is willing to let me manage the accounts, I dare not take it on."
Mu Wanyan said anxiously: "How about I find you a master to teach you well? You can learn while you are in charge, and you will be able to learn it in time."
Xiang Qin shook her head, "Master, I am not interested, and I don't like managing the backyard."
Mu Wanyan's peach blossom eyes revealed a trace of self-blame, "It's all my fault. I blamed you for being the mistress of the Hua family. I thought that with a sufficient dowry and a sister-in-law status for you, I could marry into the Hua family smoothly. I didn't expect——"
"I didn't expect to put so much pressure on you. I didn't think it through. I'm sorry. I ruined your marriage."
Maybe when Xiang Qin said she wanted to be Hua Wuzui's aunt or concubine, she really shouldn't have objected.
Unexpectedly, Xiang Qin's eyes widened immediately after hearing this, "Master, what are you talking about? Why be a concubine when you can be a wife?"
"Master, you are doing this for my own good, and you have given me so much property. Wouldn't it be cruel for me to blame you?"
She puffed out her chest and said very proudly, "I just think the Hua family is too big and not suitable for me. The master gave me so much dowry, I must find a good man and be his proper wife no matter what."
She: "I don't want to be an aunt or a concubine!"
Mu Wanyan first admired Xiang Qin for her maturity, but then she felt something was wrong.
She stared at Xiang Qin without blinking, and asked weakly, "Why can't I see any trace of sadness on your face? Tell the truth!"
