Chapter 52 I can get married, but there is a condition
Eunuch Xia stayed in Ziyunxuan until almost noon before leaving. He was still smiling when he came out. When he saw Mu Xun's long face in the outer courtyard, his expression changed immediately, "I'll come again tomorrow!"
Again?
Mu Xun was in so much pain, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He had to smile and send the big Buddha away, "Grandpa, take care!"
"You don't have to be polite, Prime Minister Mu! Please stay!" After saying this, Eunuch Xia strode out the door and got into the sedan chair.
After finally seeing Eunuch Xia off, Mu Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally they left!" Jiang said while standing behind Mu Xun.
Mu Xun looked back at Jiang and shook his head helplessly.
He knew that Prince Yan would not really come to stay at the Mu Mansion, but was just trying to force a marriage in a different way. He just didn't know what the girl said!
"Madam! Is there any news from the palace?" Mu Xun placed his hopes on the Queen Mother.
Jiang shook her head, "Aunt hasn't given any news for a long time!"
"Why does Prince Yan fall for the fifth girl?" Mu Xun was puzzled.
"You have to ask your good daughter about this!" Jiang said indifferently.
"Madam, what are you talking about?" Mu Xun said somewhat unhappily.
"Master, Baiying's matter is the most important thing now!" Jiang smiled slightly, changed her previous attitude, and reminded Mu Xun.
"Madam is right!" Mu Xun also agreed with Jiang's words.
After all, in his eyes, Mu Baiying, his daughter who is kind-hearted, elegant, dignified and generous, is his pride and the one he can show off.
It was natural for him to find a good marriage for Mu Baiying.
But the irony is that the daughter that Mu Xun is most proud of is not his biological daughter!
Although Mu Baiying's matter was important, he did not dare to offend King Yan. He had to go to Ziyunxuan to test Mu Lanfeng's attitude.
There was silence in Ziyunxuan. Two servants at the door were standing here and there listlessly. When they saw Mu Xun coming, they quickly perked up and saluted him.
Mu Xun glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and walked straight into the yard.
Mu Lanfeng was sitting on the swing, flipping through a book casually. She had already noticed when Mu Xun came in, but she just pretended not to know.
"Cough cough!" Mu Xun coughed twice to attract Mu Lanfeng's attention.
Mu Lanfeng closed the book, turned his head to look at Mu Xun, stood up from the swing, and asked calmly: "Father, why are you here?"
Mu Xun hummed in a sarcastic tone, and the word was almost snorted out from his nose. His face was gloomy and there was visible anger in his eyes.
He looked at the little daughter in front of him and felt more unfamiliar than ever before. This daughter did not have any of the timid look she had before. Was it really because she had grown up?
During the years of recuperation at Tianyuan Manor, he received news of his critical illness many times. He wanted to go and see him, but he was unable to do so. In addition, Jiang Shi prevented him from doing so, so he never mentioned it again.
To be honest, he did feel guilty, but that was all!
The daughter in front of him didn't seem that simple. Her medical skills were unorthodox and her methods were novel and jaw-dropping. She was well-known in the mansion. Even the imperial doctors in the palace were at a loss for how to treat the diseases, but she cured them, and she didn't seem to be under any pressure at all.
Is this still his daughter?
He looked closely at the book in Mu Lanfeng's hand. The words "Nanjing" were clearly written on the cover of the book. This was a professional medical book, and even he might not be able to understand a thing or two about it.
Mu Lanfeng saw Mu Xun staring at the book in his hand, thinking that he wanted to read it, so he handed it to him, "Dad, do you want to read it?"
Mu Xun took the book from Mu Lanfeng and flipped through a few pages at random. They were all about pulse diagnosis, meridians, internal organs, acupuncture and other terms. His scalp was numb when he saw them. He pretended to flip through them again and asked, "Can you understand these?"
At this point, Mu Lanfeng didn't want to hide it anymore, "Most people can understand it!"
What? Most people can understand it?
Mu Xun widened his eyes and asked in disbelief, "Can most of them be understood?"
Mu Lanfeng nodded and said casually: "Is this difficult?"
Mu Xun shook his head, finding it hard to believe his ears.
"Dad, is there something you want to talk about?" Mu Lanfeng didn't want to continue talking to Mu Xun about reading and learning to read, so he changed the subject.
After hearing Mu Lanfeng's reminder, he remembered the purpose of his visit. He returned the book to Mu Lanfeng, tried his best to control his emotions, and asked loudly, "Did you accept the imperial edict?"
"Father, do you want your daughter to pick up the phone or not?" Mu Lanfeng raised his eyebrows and asked Mu Xun back.
Mu Xun was stunned at first, and subconsciously avoided Mu Lanfeng's gaze, then stroked his beard and said coldly: "Didn't the eunuch who delivered the decree say that you should make the decision yourself?"
"What will happen if I don't accept this imperial edict? Even the emperor cannot force his subjects to marry their daughters!" Mu Lanfeng replied indifferently.
"Disobeying the imperial order is a heinous crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of your clan!" Mu Xun lowered his voice and spoke with gritted teeth. Then he glared at Mu Lanfeng fiercely and said sternly, "That's hundreds of lives! If you want to die, don't implicate others!" Mu Xun reminded.
"Is it that serious?" Mu Lanfeng deliberately opened her eyes wide, looking like she had never seen the world before, and said self-deprecatingly, "Then my daughter should get married. She doesn't want to die. After all, her life cannot be worth the hundreds of lives in this mansion!"
"It's good that you know!" Mu Xun glared at him, his words as cold as ice in winter.
"But~" Mu Lanfeng dragged out his voice and deliberately did not finish the second half of the sentence.
"What else do you want to do?" Mu Xun asked sternly.
"I have a condition!" Mu Lanfeng said expressionlessly.
"What conditions? Tell me now!" Mu Xun said unhappily. Then he changed his mind and was afraid that Mu Lanfeng would ask for too much, so he softened his tone a little and continued, "As long as I can do it, I can agree to it, but don't go too far!"
A lot of money had been spent on hiring the miracle doctor. Although Jiang was the one who usually took care of the household, he still knew the amount. Fortunately, it was only the cost for one person, otherwise she would have to bleed heavily.
His family background was not deep to begin with, and he dared not be blatantly greedy!
"I can marry into Prince Yan's Mansion, but I don't want to now. When I want to marry there, I will accept the imperial edict!" Mu Lanfeng said lightly.
Why doesn't this girl play by the rules?
"Don't worry, father. I will talk to Eunuch Xia myself!" Mu Lanfeng saw Mu Xun's worry.
Mu Xun nodded. Although it was not what he wanted to see, it was the only way.
After seeing Mu Xun off, Hong Yin came out of the house. She walked up to Mu Lanfeng and whispered a few words in her ear.
When Mu Lanfeng heard this, a flash of joy immediately appeared on his face.
