âGood.â Zi You didnât voice an objection and dragged Liu Shi towards her grandfatherâs study.
?
She knew that it wasnât that Liu Shi didnât trust her and feared that she would ruin it; she would take responsibility. Instead, it was because Liu Shi didnât know whether or not Old General Mu would let her look after the arrangements.
?
Liu Shi noticed that her schedule was full with no free time. You donât need to learn knowledge like your life depends on it. Her heart ached.
?
Even the people taking the palace examinations didnât work as hard as Zi You nor had her mentality of studying as if her life depended on it. The Lord worried about her and constantly found ways for her to nourish her body.
When Old General Mu heard that Zi You wanted to organize the Mid-Autumn banquet, he blankly stared at her.
Immediately, he asked in a concerned tone, âDo you have time? Every day you study so much late into the night. You want to learn how to manage the household this soon. Youâer, you canât be anxious to get married? â
?
Marriage! In my previous reincarnation, I married a scum. He made me suffer all kinds of pain and tribulations. In this reincarnation, I will never trust any men except for Grandfather and Second Uncle.
?
As Zi You secretly swore an oath in her heart, her smiling expression didnât change, like still water that was free of any ripples. âGranddaughter doesnât want to marry. I want to stay by Grandfatherâs side for a lifetime.â
?
This was the second time Zi You told Old General Mu that she didnât want to get married. The last time, Old General Mu thought she said it out of hate. However, this time, he felt that his granddaughter was proclaiming her decision.
Old General Mu felt a bit of uneasiness. In his heart he surmised, could his granddaughter not trust men because his son drugged her?
?
This isnât good. This year Zi You is 10 years old. In October, sheâll turn 11. Next year theyâll discuss marriage, and after another two or three years theyâll marry. If she doesnât want to marry, how can this be good?
?
It looks like he needs to think of methods to let her have more interactions with good men. But who among the noble sons can wholeheartedly treat Youâer well?
?
The old general considered each of the noble sons in the capital. He furrowed his eyebrows and was in deep thought for a long time. Even then, he couldnât find a perfect man who could be an appropriate partner for his granddaughter.
?
At last, he slapped his thigh and decided that during this years Mid-Autumn Festival, heâll request some more noble sons to come and accompany his granddaughter.
?
Of course he concealed this matter from Youâer and secretly had Second Uncle prepare this.
?
Zi You wasnât aware of her grandfatherâs idea. The reason why she requested to organize the Mid-Autumn banquet was only to welcome a women who stood out from the masses, to destroy Wang Yipingâs love towards Mu Yingrui, to not let Wang Yiping impregnate her, and to not let her give birth to a son.
?
If you want to find a woman that stands out from the masses, you cannot stay in the generalâs mansion. You have to take a trip outside yourself.
?
When Zi You told Old General Mu that she wanted to leave, he instinctively blocked her, âHow is it possible? Youâre a young girl. If you went out and became a target of some bad people, how is that good? â
?
Zi You knew her grandfather wouldnât happily agree for her to leave. Thus, without any anxiety, she smiled and asked, âThen what is the use of studying martial arts with you? If I canât even deal with some bad people, how will I fight alongside you on a battlefield? â
?
Old General Mu only just understood what his granddaughterâs purpose in learning martial arts was. Astonished, he glared at his eldest son, âNonsense! How can a girl go to the battlefield and kill people? â
?
âWhy not?â Zi You replied, âIs Mother not a woman? The things Mother can do, why canât Youâer do? â
?
Speaking to here, a layer of mist emerged on her eyes that shone like crystals. âGrandfather, mother isnât here anymore, so Iâll shoulder Motherâs responsibility. Iâll guard Grandfather and Second Uncle, saving you from death and healing your injuries. â
