Leng Heartbroken, he pulled her into his embrace and gently caressed her," I just want him to clear his misunderstanding of you, and you won't have to be afraid anymore, right?"
Mu Sen pushed him away and shouted,"I told you not to look for him. We can only hide from him, okay? I've been afraid of him since the first time I saw him. I don't know why. This fear slowly seeped out from the bottom of my heart. I don't want you to have anything to do with him because of me.”Musen's voice trembled as he spoke. This was the first time Musen had faced his own fear.
"Okay, okay, okay. Let's hide from him." Leng quickly coaxed.”He raised his hand to wipe Musen's sweat and said,"Why are you sweating all over? Let's go.”
Mu Sen suddenly felt relaxed again and nodded to Leng. Leng told Mu Sen what happened on the way. Of course, he only mentioned the beautiful and interesting ones. He erased all the hardships and dangers. How could Mu Sen not understand Leng's good intentions? If he did not understand, he would disappoint him.
Just like that, they had unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the backyard. The two of them were reluctant to part. Leng then took out a jade pendant from his pocket and handed it to Mu Sen, saying,"I bought this especially for you. I wonder if you like it?”
Musen held it in his hand and smiled."It's really beautiful. Thank you very much."
Unexpectedly, Leng stepped forward and wanted to snatch it back. She said,"Forget it.“
Mu Sen immediately grabbed it and dodged it. He said,"You're so boring. Why do you want to snatch back what you gave her?”
"I remember that you have a Sheep-Fat White Jade on you. It's much more valuable than this one." Leng said unconfidently.
"I know which one is worth more.”Before Leng could finish speaking, Mu Sen said seriously. Then, he smiled mysteriously and said mischievously,"You're really amazing. How did you know that one of mine had gone and you sent another one over?”
"What do you mean?" Leng asked, confused.”
Mu Sen then told her how he knocked off the beggar's bun. Since he did not have any silver, he only needed to give the jade pendant to the beggar. He shook his head with a sneer and scratched her nose with his finger."Young Lady, do you know how much that jade pendant is worth?”
Mu Sen smiled and said indifferently,"I see that he is so pitiful. No matter how much silver it is worth, he will exchange it for it. From now on, he won't have to beg for food anymore.”
He sneered,"You, don't be kind and give this one away."”
"I know." Musen chuckled.”As soon as he finished speaking, the wind blew and the sky gradually darkened.
Although Leng was reluctant, she still said,""I think it's going to rain. You should hurry back.”
"Alright, you should go back and have a good rest too. I'll come back to see you tomorrow."”
Leng smiled and nodded. Just as Mu Sen was about to leave, Leng suddenly said,"Musen, let me help you put it on."
Mu Sen turned around and smiled." This string doesn't look good. I'll get the granny to weave another one for me when I get back. I'll string it up before I wear it."”After saying that, he saw Leng's disappointed face. He couldn't bear it, so he walked up to her and raised the jade pendant in his hand. He smiled and said,"Then please help me put it on."
Leng happily took it and carefully put the jade pendant around Mu Sen's neck. She said affectionately,""From now on, you'll only bring it with you, okay?”
Musen looked down and put it back into his collar. He smiled and said,"Alright, I'll only bring this." Their eyes met and they smiled sincerely. None of them had expected that this would be the last time they would be affectionate. After that, the haze between them could not be swept away no matter how hard they tried.
On this day, Hu Tu and the others naturally went home for a reunion. Only Leng was an orphan and had nowhere else to go. When he pushed open the door, he was not surprised, as if he had already known that this honorable commander-in-chief would be waiting for him here. He did not go forward to bow, but only looked at Gong E coldly. This was the first time Gong E had seen Leng look at him like this. He did not get angry and said,"Musen went home?"
"Commander, is there something you want to say to me?" asked Leng.”As soon as he finished speaking, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a strong wind blew.
Gong E paused for a while. This was the first time he felt so guilty toward his subordinate. He said,"Nothing? I gave you two days off and they all went home. You're the only one here, so I came to see you.”"If you had a family, you wouldn't be so lonely."”After saying that, another huge thunder sounded, shaking the world.
Leng looked out of the window and turned to Gong E,""Then when does the commander-in-chief plan to let me marry Musen?”
Seeing Leng like this, Gong E knew that Mu Sen had told him something. With Leng's intelligence and calmness, he must have guessed something. As for how much he had guessed, he was not sure, so he said helplessly,"Your birth characters don't match." Gong E found it ridiculous. What a childish excuse. If they didn't get along, why didn't they say it earlier? Why did they wait until they were deeply in love?"Furen's sister-in-law has a horse."
Leng couldn't listen to this at all and interrupted,"Commander, please tell me the real reason.”
Gong E looked cold and suddenly felt that this was the first time he could not control him. He knew that he could not hide it, so he could only say what Imperial Consort Xi had said. It was already raining heavily outside, as if it was going to wash away the filth in the world.
Leng Xin felt as if a knife was cutting through her heart as she asked heart-wrenchingly,"Have you ever thought about Mu Sen? Didn't she tell you that she was afraid of Prince Bao? How can we live together?"
"Leng, this is fate. It's predestined by the heavens." Gong E said helplessly.”
Leng suddenly laughed and cried. She said,"Fate?" Leng nodded and asked calmly,""Alright, since it's fate, then this subordinate would like to ask Lord Commander, why is it Mu Qing now?”
Gong E knew that Leng must have some doubts, so he explained,""In the beginning, we didn't want Mu Sen to marry into the Prince's mansion, so Madam used Mu Sen's illness and temper to make Imperial Consort Xi give up on this idea. That was why we wanted Mu Qing to marry over. Who knew that Imperial Consort Xi would like both of them? This... we had no choice.”Gong E spoke hesitantly, without any confidence. His voice became softer and softer. If one didn't listen carefully, the sound would be drowned out by the rain outside.
"Is that so?" Leng Xin asked in a desolate tone.”"Is Musen your biological daughter?" she asked solemnly.”As soon as he finished speaking, another loud thunder resounded through the sky and earth. A violent wind slammed against the window frame, making a series of "pa pa" sounds. It was as if countless homeless souls urgently needed to find a harbor to hide from the wind and rain.
Gong E was irritated by the wind, rain, and thunder outside. When he heard Leng's question, he looked at him in horror. His heart was flustered, just like the weather outside. He could only use the dignity of a commander and shout,"Impudent, cold, watch your words.”
Leng felt her entire body turn cold, and her voice turned cold as she said,"" Why is the Commander so angry? It seems like I guessed correctly. It's true. When we met again after Musen recovered from her illness, she told me who she met and how she fell ill. My momentary guess was right.”Leng's entire body trembled, and tears slowly flowed down. She said with a trembling voice,"It's not hard to guess. Before you became the Commander-in-chief, you also fought in the wind and rain to get to where you are today. No one knows the hardships more clearly than you. You definitely don't want your child to be like you. You used other people's children to exchange for your child's peaceful life. Although it's risky, it's also the simplest and most effective way. As long as you hide it well, the higher-ups won't know. However, Commander-in-chief, Musen was raised by you since he was young. I've called you 'Ma' for 14 years. Even if it's not as good as my biological daughter, there's still some affection, right? Why is there a need to be so hard-hearted and only think of Muqing?”
Gong E felt more and more guilty after being coldly said. He sighed and said,"There are some things that we can only think of at the beginning. The ending is always unexpected. Thinking that Mu Sen is unwilling and Mu Qing likes Prince Bao, we thought of this method. Who knew that..."
Leng was disheartened and dispirited. She couldn't be bothered to listen to Gong E's lies. She interrupted him and said,"Musen definitely wouldn't be willing. Is that the only reason? The most important reason was that Mu Qing had a soft spot for Prince Bao.”"Most people would think that this is a good thing for Mu Sen." Leng Bujian sneered.”He felt a sharp pain in his heart, but he still endured it and said,"Only Prince Bao can make Musen leave the Flying Guillotine, and the Emperor will not refuse. Our Emperor let your child inherit your position as the commander of the Flying Guillotine. On the surface, it looked like a favor, but in fact, it was a threat. Now, he does not object to his son marrying your daughter. However, your daughter has become a hostage, so he will not worry that you will leave him with too many secrets like your brother.”
