Traveling through Tianlong: Starting from the Zhenlong chess game

Chapter 115 The dilemma of being unable to speak

On the way back, the two of them were talking and laughing.

Zhao Mu also made jokes from time to time, asking her if she was really willing to "be a little kid" for him.

A'Zhu also playfully said things like "I can't help it" and "or who made the person I like partial".

The two of them returned to the Hou Mansion just talking and laughing. Zhao Mu also told his mother that he was leaving and that A'Zhu was willing to be a child.

Zhao Ji was also very happy when she heard this, but she felt a little wronged by A'Zhu.

Then Zhao Ji took off a jade hairpin from her own head and inserted it into A'Zhu's head.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Shuang's eyes widened, filled with jealousy.

Zhao Mu also looked at his mother in surprise.

Seeing Zhao Mu's expression, A'Zhu also saw the value of this hosta. When A'Zhu was about to refuse, Zhao Mu smiled and shook his head. A'Zhu had no choice but to accept the gift from her future mother-in-law.

However, A'Zhu still asked about the origin of this hosta out of curiosity.

And Zhao Mu also told A'Zhu truthfully.

The hairpin that Zhao Ji presented to A'Zhu was the first reward she received when she performed a dance for her husband when she entered the palace.

After seeing Zhao Ji's dance, the king of Dongping County admired her for her appearance as a Luo Shen. So in order to make the beauty smile, he went to Jubaozhai in the capital to order this jade hairpin, and put it on Zhao Ji's head with his own hands.

Although this hairpin seemed a bit cheap compared to other things given to her by Prince Dongping. But it has extraordinary significance. As the first gift given to her by her husband, Zhao Ji cherishes it very much. Normally, even if Zhao Mu, his biological son, wants to touch it, he is not allowed to do so.

Today, Zhao Ji gave this thing to A'Zhu, which proved that she recognized A'Zhu as her daughter-in-law.

What's more important is that Zhao Ji saw the shadow of her own youth in A'Zhu.

She really fell in love with her old husband, who was decades older than her, because he gave her something she had never gotten or even forgotten, which was "self-esteem."

And A'Zhu fell in love with Zhao Mu because Zhao Mu never regarded her as a maid. Both of them were also lonely and helpless since childhood.

It is precisely because of these slightly similar life experiences that Zhao Ji values ​​​​A'Zhu so much. If it were not related to his son's future, Zhao Mu would not give A'Zhu the title of his wife, and Zhao Ji would not be able to get through this.

At night, when Zhao Mu was about to turn off the lights and take a rest, Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue also returned to his wife's room to wait on her.

At this time, Zhao Mu's door rang. Zhao Mu didn't notice the footsteps and said, "A'Zhu, what's wrong at this late hour?"

But A'Zhu who was outside the door didn't answer and just knocked on the door again.

Zhao Mu didn't know why. He didn't know why this girl came to him so late. So he got up and opened the door for A'Zhu.

After opening the door, A'Zhu looked up at Zhao Mu, but then remained silent and entered Zhao Mu's room silently.

Zhao Mu asked in confusion: "What's going on?"

After a moment of silence, A'Zhu said, "Brother Zhao."

Seeing A'Zhu's hesitant look, Zhao Mu asked: "A'Zhu, what's wrong with you? Could it be that my mother and I acted rudely today? If you don't want to, A'Zhu, it's not too late to regret it now. You She is a good girl and deserves a better home."

A'Zhu waved his hands repeatedly at this time, and then said: "No! No. A'Zhu has already promised Brother Zhao, how can he regret it? There is just one thing that I have been worried about." Zhao Mu said: "There is no need between us. There’s something secretive about it, but it doesn’t hurt to talk about it.”

A'Zhu said at this time: "A'Zhu has promised Brother Zhao, and this will never change. Even if Brother Zhao has three wives and four concubines in the future, as long as you don't abandon A'Zhu, A'Zhu will always be by your side. But A'Zhu will always be by your side." Zhu has no father or mother, so he was taken in by his old master and the young master since he was a child. A'Zhu is still the maid of the Murong family after all. I'm afraid that the young master won't let me go so easily."

After hearing A'Zhu's words, Zhao Mu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing A'Zhu mentioning the Murong family with a solemn expression just now, Zhao Mu thought that A'Zhu had been beaten to death by Murong Fu.

After all, she was Murong Fu's personal maid, so it was not strange for a master to do something to his personal maid.

If it weren't for Zhao Ji's strict control, the two little girls Qiu Shuang and Dong Xue would have been used by Zhao Mu long ago.

Although Zhao Mu is not the kind of person who attaches too much importance to things like "chastity", but if he thinks about it carefully, he feels a little uncomfortable that he is the "second entry into the palace" for the woman he treats sincerely and has given her a status. It should be.

Zhao Mu heard this and said: "This is not a big deal. I am willing to redeem my girl A'Zhu with ten thousand taels of gold."

When A'Zhu heard this, he was moved for a moment, and tears were already welling up in his eyes.

But A'Zhu still tried her best to control her emotions. She then said: "This shouldn't be necessary. It's just ordinary gold and silver. My young master may not like it. If he wants to redeem me, he will need something special." Moreover, the young master has great plans, I am afraid."

A'Zhu still had some unspeakable secrets at this time. Although she had already made up her mind to marry Zhao Mu, after all, she was raised by the Murong family.

The Murong family had raised her for more than ten years and treated her well. Even a dog would have been raised long ago, not to mention that A'Zhu was a living person.

She is not an ungrateful person, but on one hand she is her future husband, and on the other hand she is the Murong family who raised her.

Murong Fu's plot and Zhao Mu's identity can be said to be opposite.

So now A'Zhu still doesn't know how to tell Zhao Mu about Murong Fu's plot. A'Zhu didn't know how to tell Murong Fu that he fell in love with Zhao Mu.

If Murong Fu's plot was informed to Zhao Mu, then Zhao Mu would definitely not spare the Murong family with his unruly temperament. The previous Quan Guanqing had already learned from the past.

Although the Murong family is full of experts, it is still far behind the imperial court. The imperial court only needs to issue a sea arrest document, and then the entire Murong family, as well as people related to the Murong family, such as the four ministers and even the Gusu Wang family, will You have to be on tenterhooks and live in hiding. After all, rebellion is a serious crime against the Nine Clan.

This matter involved too much, and calling her "ungrateful" was an understatement, but it could cost hundreds or thousands of lives, so A'Zhu didn't dare to tell Zhao Mu about it.

But if Zhao Mu is not told about this, A'Zhu will feel unfaithful to her husband. So A'Zhu was very embarrassed.

Besides, A'Zhu didn't know how to tell Murong Fu about this. She had served Murong Fu for many years, and he also understood Murong Fu's style.

If she informed Murong Fu of this fact, not only would Murong Fu not be reluctant to give up, but he would even be overjoyed. He would also praise A'Zhu for being smart and using his beauty to penetrate into the palace of the Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, Murong Fu will definitely let her become an informant placed beside Zhao Mu and in the Song court to help him collect intelligence about the court.

But A'Zhu didn't want to be unfaithful to her husband, but she didn't know how to completely break away from the Murong family and reject her own son.

When she thought about these problems, her head suddenly became dizzy. So I couldn't sleep.

She also felt that if she kept these words hidden, she would be ashamed of how Zhao Mu and her mother-in-law Zhao Ji treated each other sincerely. So she knocked on Zhao Mu's door tonight by accident. But after entering the door, I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it.
