The reborn businesswoman is the queen

Chapter 173 Parents' past events, estrangement unraveled
Mu Yunge's grandfather, Mu Zhe, nicknamed Fufeng, had studied martial arts for two years under the Shao family of martial arts masters when he was young. After entering business, relying on his own martial arts background, he rarely brought guards when he went out. The porcelain business he went to the capital to do this time was very big, equivalent to about 40 taels of silver. He brought 20 taels of silver notes with him, and he was not afraid, so he went to the capital alone.

When Muzhe went out of Jinling, a gang of bandits followed him all the way to the foot of Lilan Mountain outside the capital.

Lilan Mountain is a deep mountain. Many years ago, it was used as a royal polder. Later, when the polder moved to the northern suburbs of the capital, Lilan Mountain was abandoned and there were many wild beasts.

This band of thieves chose to attack at the foot of Lilan Mountain, because it was convenient to deal with it afterwards, throwing him deep in the mountain, and keeping him buried in the belly of a wild animal, leaving no bones.

A group of eight thieves surrounded Mu Zhe, and Mu Zhe used all his strength to injure four of them, and was seriously injured himself. Desperate, he fled into the deep mountains.Mu Zhe wandered around in Lilan Mountain for a long time, accidentally hit a road, and soon walked out of Lilan Mountain and came to a small village.

Mu Zhe lost a lot of blood and passed out outside a school in the village. When he woke up, he was lying in a hut, and an elegant man was writing at the desk with his back to him.

The man who saved Mu Zhe was named Xiao Yuandao, he was a teacher in this school, and he was also the prince and tutor of the Imperial College in Beijing.He is knowledgeable and mindful of the universe. Although he is as high as the prince and grand tutor, he does not reject the common people. He sets up a teaching altar outside the palace wall. Whenever he has the opportunity, he often gives lectures in the school. Taos and plums are all over the world. There are many disciples, and four of them were praised by the emperor himself. Word: Saint Liang Hongru.

Today is the appointment of Xiao Yuandao to come to Lilan Mountain to give lectures, which happens to save Mu Zhe's life.

It was difficult for Mu Zhe to get up, and Xiao Yuandao heard that he was going to the capital, and when he was about to return, he took him along with him.

After that, Mu Zhe spent half a month recuperating at Xiao's family, gradually becoming like a brother.

After Mu Zhe recovered from his injury, he settled the porcelain business in Beijing, bid farewell to Xiao Yuandao and returned to Jinling, and the two often exchanged letters.

The next year, Mu Zhe got married and sent a wedding invitation to Xiao Yuandao, who even came to Jinling himself to congratulate him.After going back and forth, the relationship between the two became closer.In the fourth year, Xiao Yuandao also married his wife, and Mu Zhe also went to the capital in person, and prepared a big gift to congratulate him.At this time, Mu Zhe already had a son under his knees. On the day of the full moon, Xiao Yuandao personally named him Mu Zhizhao.

A few years passed in a hurry, when Mu Zhizhao was 20 years old, Mu Zhe was seriously ill, and the fortune teller said that he had to talk about a relationship, so he was very happy, and Mu Zhe thought of his old friend Xiao Yuandao for many years.

I heard that Xiao Yuandao has no children and has two daughters. If Mu Zhizhao can marry one of them, wouldn't the two families be more intimate?

Dragging his seriously ill body, he personally took Mu Zhizhao to the north, and went to Xiao's mansion to beg for his son Mu Zhizhao's marriage.

Xiao Yuandao hadn't seen Mu Zhizhao for many years, and when he saw him, he only thought he was gentle and refined, with a temperament very similar to his own, so he liked him very much, and immediately agreed to the marriage.It's just that he has two daughters under his knees. The first daughter, Xiao Qingwan, was promised to Shen Yuan, the son of the household servant Shen's family, a few years ago. I feel sorry for Mu Zhe.

In terms of status, Mu's family is a merchant, and Xiao's family is a famous family. Mu Zhe was able to obtain Xiao's daughter as a wife for his son, no matter if it was a descendant or concubine, he was very satisfied, and the marriage was settled.

The next day, the Mu family came to ask for marriage, and the bride price was delivered to Xiao's residence, which finally alarmed the young lady of the Xiao family.

Xiao Qingru was impatient and rushed to the side door of the main hall without waiting for someone to lead the way and introduce him, and hid behind the screen to peep at Mu Zhizhao.

At that time, Mu Zhizhao was young and handsome, and Xiao Qingru was very satisfied when he saw him, but when he heard that he was the son of a merchant and his status was low, after he married him, he might also suffer from it.

She was full of dissatisfaction, turned her face on the spot, and ran out crying.

Mu Zhizhao was young and energetic, he didn't want to marry so many girls in Jinling who wanted to marry him, and he never thought that he would be so despised by others, and he was very depressed.It happened that something happened to the silk and satin shop in the capital, and Mu Zhe took this as an excuse to send him away, and he talked to Xiao Yuandao about the marriage in detail.

Mu Zhizhao went to the silk and satin village alone, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw a girl.

The girl was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, and her gestures were different from the girls in Jinling.She was facing him sideways, her smiling face was full of freshness, she spoke softly, and her soft tone sounded very comfortable.

Mu Zhizhao followed her all the way, and saw her enter the Xiao's mansion, and only after asking did he find out that this was Xiao Qingwan, the daughter of the Xiao mansion.

Knowing that she is the concubine's daughter of the Xiao family, her desire to marry is nothing but a dream, and Mu Zhizhao is inevitably depressed.

On this day, Xiao Qingru suddenly came to the courtyard where he and Mu Zhe lived, saying that her mother was going to serve wine in the flower hall, and she also knew him as the son-in-law.

Mu Zhizhao went as he said, and unexpectedly saw Xiao Qingwan was there, he was uneasy, Xiao Qingru's mother continued to persuade him to drink, and he became drunk without knowing it.When he woke up, his face turned pale with shock. He was not in the guest house, but in Xiao Qingwan's boudoir.Xiao Qingwan lay beside him, her cheeks were flushed, and she was still sound asleep.Just when he was panicking, guilty, and confused, Xiao Qingwan woke up and saw him.

When Mu Yunge heard this, he already understood that the banquet that day was just a grand feast, and it was father and mother who were plotting.

She has always known Mu Zhizhao's drinking capacity, not to mention a thousand cups, she will never get drunk easily, there must be some other ingredients in the wine.

Xiao Qingwan is a lady of a family, and it is not easy to publicize this matter. When she was at a loss, the girl suddenly knocked on the door and told outside that someone from the Shen family came and was discussing with the master about retiring the engagement in the flower hall.

When asked why, it was not because of this matter, but because the only son of the Shen family suddenly changed his mind for some reason and insisted on marrying Xiao Qingru.

Mu Zhizhao and Xiao Qingwan both went to the front hall, but before reaching the front hall, they were stopped by Xiao Qingru.

"That's what your aunt told your mother at the time." Mu Zhizhao imitated Xiao Qingru's tone and said, "Sister, brother Shen Yuan won't marry you. He told me himself that he only loves you in this life. I am alone. We are husband and wife, and he doesn’t want anyone but me. You are with brother Mu’s family anyway, why don’t we exchange?”

Xiao Qingwan was so angry that she almost fainted on the spot, and instead of going to the front hall, she turned around and left.

Mu Zhizhao wanted to chase after him, but when he thought that she probably didn't want to see him either, he changed direction and went to the front hall.

People from the Shen family were there, and Mu Zhe happened to be there too, Xiao Yuandao was in a dilemma, both of them were good friends, and they both made marriage contracts with their children. As a last resort, they had to listen to Xiao Qingru's mother's advice and exchanged the marriage contracts.

After that, Aunt Xiao married into the Shen family first, and it took half a year for the Xiao family to marry into Jinling.

"So, if it wasn't for my aunt's calculations, my mother should have married to Shen's mansion." Mu Yunge was speechless and surprised when she heard it. She was almost someone else's daughter. How could there be a father who loves her so much and a lively and lovely girl? younger brother?

Xiao frowned, and sighed: "She was like this before, I didn't expect that after so many years, she still doesn't know how to repent."

"You've been tired all day too, take a rest earlier." Mu Zhi summoned her to work hard, and was afraid that the past would remind her of the past, and she would be jealous of herself, so she patted the back of her hand, got up and left in time, leaving the space for others The mother and daughter: "There are still some old accounts that need to be dealt with at the firm. I came back late, so don't wait for me."

Xiao got up and said, "Are you going to stay overnight again? Mr. Mei has ordered you to take care of yourself."

"It's okay, I'll be back before Zishi." Mu Zhizhao let her tidy up her clothes, and gave a few more instructions before leaving the room.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she heard Mu Yunge gossipingly ask Xiao Shi behind her: "Mother, Dad fell in love with you at first sight when I first saw you. What about you, how did you feel when you first saw Dad?"

Mu Zhizhao's footsteps froze. For so many years, he has always been concerned about what happened back then, and he was afraid that Xiao Shi married him because of his father's order.

He also wanted to know what Xiao Shi was thinking, so he went out immediately, but he turned to the bed and stood in a secret place to listen carefully.

When Mu Yunge heard the direction of his footsteps, he pursed his lips and smiled as if he had already guessed.

She has a doubt in her heart, father is not a person who is promiscuous, since he likes mother so much, how can he take a few more concubines after marrying mother, it must be because father and mother have something in mind gap.This estrangement now seems to be the matter.Now that she knew the past of her parents, she wanted to find a way to bring them closer.Only when the father and mother are intimate, those foxes will never want to get involved in the world of father and mother!

Xiao blushed from Mu Yunge's question, looked outside the door again and again, and made sure that Mu Zhizhao had gone far, then smiled: "You don't know how stupid your father was at that time. He followed me all the way, but he couldn't even say a word." Don't dare tell me."

"So, mother saw father at that time?" Mu Yunge opened his eyes wide, mother is fine, she can hide it from father so well.

Recalling the past, Xiao laughed softly: "How could such a big man not see it? What's more, when your father was young, he was a very good-looking and elegant son. I have met many young masters from high-ranking officials and noble families, and they are all inferior to you." Be half as big as your father."

Hearing her praise outside the window, Mu Zhizhao felt sweet in his heart, and a smile overflowed the corners of his mouth.

"Is that mother willing to marry father?" Mu Yunge got excited, and helped Mu Zhizhao ask the question he wanted to ask the most.

Xiao gave her a coquettish look: "Your child... When we first got engaged, there was indeed some quarrel in my heart. He was supposed to be my brother-in-law, but he turned out to be my husband. But he lives in Xiao's residence. After half a year, I got along with him every day, and the awkwardness at the beginning has long since disappeared. Your aunt despises him as the son of a merchant, and his status is not high, but I think that as long as the two have the same temper, that is the greatest happiness. Mother later I am very grateful to your aunt for not wanting him. When my mother got into the sedan chair, there was only joy in my heart, joy..."

Xiao Shi paused: "It's just later... hey!"

"Father married my aunt, which hurt my mother's heart, right?" Mu Yunge guessed.

Xiao gave a soft hum: "Perhaps there is more than one woman in the hearts of men in the world."

Mu Zhizhao's blood boiled when he heard it outside the door. It is only today that he fully understands Xiao's heart.He had misunderstood all kinds of things in the past, thinking that Xiao Shi treated him well because he was his wife, and maybe he loved him a little bit, but he definitely didn't want her like he did.

He couldn't bear it anymore, strode back into the room, hugged Xiao Shi, and said with a sob: "Qingwan, my heart for you has never changed in all these years! If I had known you were like this Think about it, even if you kill me, I will never let you down!"

Xiao Shi was taken aback for a moment, his eyes were warm, and he also reached out to hug him.

Seeing this, Mu Yunge knew that the estrangement between his parents had disappeared, so he left the main courtyard with a smile.

As soon as she returned to the yard, she saw that the lights were on in her own room. Tang Linyi was sitting at the desk. When she saw her coming, she immediately said seriously, "Yun Ge, there is something important, you need to be careful!"
