Chapter 557: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 26
Early in the morning, sunlight shone through the window lattice onto Mu Yuanzhao's bed. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his heart full of anticipation for Miaomiao.
Even the muscles on the body are deliberately stretched so as to greet the future owner with the most beautiful posture.
Unfortunately, even though he was ready, it was his mother who came in first. A hint of disappointment flashed across Mu Yuanzhao's eyes, but he soon returned to normal.
The eldest lady looked at her extremely stubborn and rebellious son. Although she felt distressed, she could not persuade him.
"How about I take care of you today since I'm not busy. Or maybe Miaomiao and I can take care of you together. That way I'll feel more at ease and she'll be more relaxed too."
Mu Yuanzhao's heart tightened. He didn't want his mother to be here and ruin the rare time alone between him and Miaomiao, but the rejection from yesterday was still fresh in his mind, and he couldn't say it today.
"Mom, I'm much better now. You know the details of my injury. In fact, this is a rare opportunity for me to take a break.
Why don't you go to the military camp to visit your father first? He must be very worried about me.
But now I’m afraid other things might come up and I can’t leave at all.”
Mu Yuanzhao secretly calculated when he could send his mother away after the plan began.
But it was obvious that the eldest lady did not understand that he wanted to be alone with Miaomiao, so she decided to stay and chat about family matters with Miaomiao who came in later in his room.
Of course, this family talk mainly focuses on the views on Miaomiao’s marriage.
"Mom, aren't you being too partial? You're only looking for a husband for my aunt. I'm even a few years older than her, and I've never heard you worry about it."
Mu Yuanzhao pretended to be weak and used words to indicate the fact that he was even older than Miaomiao.
He secretly changed the topic of the two women from other people to him.
"You, you'll be single for the rest of your life.
The ladies I have selected for you are all extremely outstanding.
Not only did you reject them all, but you even dared to let someone chase you away when they were really hot on your tail! !
Your father and I no longer want to wait for you to get married. Living a few more years is the most important thing."
The eldest lady cannot mention her son's marriage now, as she gets angry when she does.
"Well, I can only say that it's not suitable. So what does mother want from her future daughter-in-law?"
Mu Yuanzhao smiled with a pale face, looking much more obedient than usual.
"As long as you don't bring back a male wife in my lifetime, your father and I will accept it!"
The eldest lady almost spat in her son's face.
Without talking about marriage, mothers are kind and sons are filial. When talking about marriage...
Just don’t talk about it.
Miaomiao was smiling with her eyes curved. It can be seen that although the situation in the Marshal's Mansion is not optimistic now, the mentality of the two heads of the family is still relatively stable.
The fact that they can even joke about something like this shows how close the relationship between mother and son is.
"Mom, are you serious? As long as I don't bring back a male wife, you can accept it?"
Mu Yuanzhao asked with an expression of disbelief, as if he was trying to amuse his mother. Neither of the other two people present noticed the other's seriousness.
"Yes, a word is a nail. What I say is final."
The eldest lady was busy telling her cousin about this talented man from South City and was too lazy to say too much to her son who seemed to be getting much better.
His entire chest was exposed, and he felt embarrassed, and she felt even more ashamed.
I can only be nicer to Miaomiao even more.
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Mu Yuanzhao lowered his eyes, a smile flashing in his eyes.
He knew that he was taking advantage of the situation, but it didn't matter. If there was a chance, he would take it. If there was no chance, he would create it. So Miaomiao would definitely become his mother's daughter-in-law in the end, there was no doubt about it.
Near noon, Adjutant Qian brought back two pieces of news with a shocked look on his face.
The news was told to the young marshal and the eldest lady.
Thousands of miles away in Wucheng, the old man of the Liao family celebrated his birthday. He is the largest arms dealer in Xia Country.
Just because he has the blood of a certain country's largest arms dealer and is a mixed-race, many advanced foreign weapons have to be sold to Xia Country through him.
During this period, the Xia Kingdom was in a period of warlord separatism, chaos and war.
The Liao family is a case of heroes being made by the times.
Although several warlords have their own military factories, some weapons can be produced by themselves, while some require the support of the Liao family, the major military leader.
Therefore, Wucheng is actually the most stable place except for the South City managed by the Mu family.
At this time, the old man from the Liao family in Wucheng was about to celebrate his birthday. In his old age, he liked people who were in pairs the most.
Therefore, on the occasion of the birthday, the three major warlords and their wives were invited to attend.
Judging from the news we received today, both Marshal Wang in the east and Governor Li in the west have, contrary to their usual behavior, brought their wives and set off for Wucheng.
Nancheng is closer to Wucheng, but if the Marshal does not go this time, there may be mistakes in the purchase of the latest arms.
When Mu Yuanzhao heard Adjutant Qian bring back news about the Liao family's old man's birthday in Wucheng and the need for the Marshal and the First Lady to go together, a hint of relief and anticipation flashed in his eyes.
Instead, the eldest lady frowned and looked worried.
"Aren't there two pieces of news? What about the second one?"
Mu Yuanzhao asked with a light cough.
"The second piece of news is about Sun Tianping, who works at a junior high school.
Yesterday, both Miss Xu and Shaoshuai asked me to ask someone to check it out. I didn’t know the result until I checked, and I was shocked.
This Sun Tianping turned out to be an undercover agent sent by Marshal Wang to our South City. They even found black powder and a radio device in his home.
Our people have investigated and found that the person is most likely the one who shot the young marshal that night and escaped. "
Adjutant Qian spoke with a worried look on his face, and the three people present were attracted by his words.
However, apart from the young marshal who gave an encouraging look, the remaining two people had more or less shocked expressions.
Miaomiao was stunned. She didn't expect that after she came to this dimension, this scum named Sun would dare to assassinate the young marshal.
With such intelligence, how was Sun Tianping discovered by the original owner and the young marshal in the original plane?
"You're saying that Sun Tianping from junior high school is a spy? He had black powder and a radio device at home, and he even shot my son with a gun?"
At this time, the eldest lady's face could be described as ashen. From her expression, one could tell what kind of fight had been going on in her mind.
"Yes, ma'am. Teacher Sun has been in junior high school for over a year. He should be the person assigned by Marshal Wang to be with the young master. However, the young master hasn't started school yet..."
After Adjutant Qian finished speaking, the scene fell silent.
"Find his accomplices and arrest them together. Don't let them endanger the safety of the citizens."
Mu Yuanzhao sighed and said.
Of the three people present, two were very satisfied with the news. Only the eldest lady did not expect that the person she thought Miaomiao could entrust her life to was actually a spy.
"So, mother, if you want to be a matchmaker for my aunt in the future, you should at least let my people investigate first.
Now we need to investigate whether these people outside are human or ghosts.
This time you need to go to Wucheng with your father. Remember to reassure your father, as the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind. Everything is as expected."
