General's Dishonesty (VII): Missed (Page 1/2)

Jinnan Marquis' Mansion,

"Sir, Miss Murong is here again."

"No."

"But Miss Murong's mother and the Marquis' Mansion..." The maid hadn't finished speaking when she saw the cold gaze on the beauty couch sweeping over her. She immediately knelt on the ground with her legs shaking like sieves.

"Drag her away." Xu Weiran ordered.

Even if the Marquis' Mansion was in decline, it still had its dignity. How could it tolerate servants to speak ill of the master?

After putting away the book and sitting up, a maid immediately brought a basin for him to wash. His boots were spotlessly clean and placed at his feet. When he stretched out his hand, a handkerchief for wiping his face was handed over.

It had only been three days since he came back, and this Murong Qingyu had come twice. At first, she said something like "cousin is a lucky man with a blessing from heaven", and then she cried and complained that Murong Liuli bullied them mother and daughter by relying on her intention to marry into the Marquis's family, and asked her cousin to make a decision for them.

Xu Weiran vaguely felt that the original owner probably had a crush on this cousin, but because of his family background and his own weakness, he chose to guard her silently.

Unfortunately, his body has changed, and even if the delicate woman cries in front of him, he remains indifferent.

"Qingyu came to see you, why don't you see me?"

Not long after, the second uncle of the original body, Xu Maocai, also came. This second uncle has thick eyebrows and small eyes, and he happened to wear a scholar's long jacket, which seemed a bit out of place.

"After all, she is a female relative, how can I meet her casually? Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation of my cousin?"

Xu Weiran pretended to cough weakly: "My body is weak, and I have been walking in the mountains. I can't stand the wind and waves. Please help me close the door first, uncle."

Xu Maocai was choked by the younger generation, and closed the doors and windows with an unhappy face.

"When you feel better in a few days, come with me to the Murong Mansion."

"Why?"

"We still have an engagement with the Murong Mansion. Miss Murong almost committed suicide for you. Your aunt and Qingyu have been in tears all day. Now that you have returned safely, it is time to clarify the matter to prevent the Marquis' Mansion from being gossiped about by outsiders."

"Oh? But I heard from my cousin that since the eldest lady woke up, she has relied on her status as the widow of the Marquis' Mansion. First, she made her aunt sick, and then caused my cousin to be punished by her uncle for theft. She is using our name to bully others. Why doesn't my second uncle say that she lacks discipline? If such a person marries into our family, I'm afraid the back house will not be at peace."

".....Anyone who gossips in front of the young master will be thrown out of the mansion." Xu Maocai said coldly.

"Okay, second uncle, there are some things you still need to know," the slender finger tapped the lid of the teacup, "but probably not recently."

"I'm going to the palace in two days," he sipped his tea, "The emperor sympathizes with the hardship of the Marquis's family. When he heard that I returned safely, he ordered my grandfather to bring me to the palace for an audience and gave me some things as a comfort."
