Chapter 151 Past Life 5 (Xie Yaochuan's PerspectiveMu Yunshang)
I never expected him to be serious.
In just two short years, he actually rose to a position that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
However, in those short two years, the world has changed unpredictably, catching people off guard.
First, the emperor suddenly died, followed by the mysterious deaths of the crown prince and several other princes. In the end, the one who successfully ascended the throne was none other than the seventh prince, Song Qiyuan, who had remained unknown and had been virtually invisible in the power struggle.
This man was not only illiterate and unskilled in martial arts, but his birth mother was also of low status. If it weren't for this series of unexpected events, he would probably never have had the chance to ascend the throne.
The Mu family were the great contributors to the Seventh Prince's ascension to the throne.
With Song Qiyuan's ascension to the throne, the Mu family's power grew increasingly prominent, reaching its zenith.
Mu Yunchao thus became the youngest prime minister in the history of the Yue Kingdom.
Despite his best efforts, the gap between him and Mu Yunshang did not narrow; instead, it widened.
The possibility between them seems to be getting increasingly slim.
Today, the Mu family has risen to a position of great prestige, second only to the emperor.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the young new emperor would have to think carefully before answering the Mu family's words.
As for those who came to propose marriage to Mu Yunshang, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, they came in an endless stream.
Xie Yaochuan was unusually silent, even skipping the morning court session and staying at home without venturing out.
Xie Yaochuan's mother was born into a wealthy merchant family. Although she was not of high status, she was pampered and loved. When she saw her son becoming depressed, she tried every means to coax him.
Seeing that he was so unresponsive and depressed, I thought for a moment and handed him a storybook.
Xie Yaochuan: ? ? ?
His face was full of confusion.
"If you really want to marry her, it's not impossible. Just learn from the male protagonist in those stories and keep calling her 'sister' to her. Even if you're not the best, you still have a good-looking face. She might just fall for your looks."
Madam Xie's rise from the daughter of a merchant to the position of Madam Xie, and finally to becoming Xie Hui's sole love and object of affection, all relied on these stories.
Well, it could also be her good looks.
Mrs. Xie was extremely proud that her son looked like her.
A beautiful appearance?
Xie Yaochuan fell even more silent.
Yunshang couldn't tell their faces at all.
Just like last time when Yunshang picked up Yunchao from school on her way, her eyes swept over him.
Although she recognized him when she got closer.
But he knew that if it weren't for the beauty mark at the corner of her eye, she probably wouldn't have recognized him at all.
For the past two years, he has been trying to get close to her every day, intentionally or unintentionally, to make his presence known, but with little effect.
It seems she really does treat him like her own younger brother?
Madam Xie looked at Mu Yunchao, who seemed even more bewildered and dejected, with some confusion, but still gently instructed him, "Girls can't resist fluffy little animals, so you should pretend to be a little animal, look at her pitifully, and try to gain her sympathy. It would be best if you could make her blush. You should read more of the contents of this book."
Xie Yaochuan lowered his eyes to look at the book in his hand, "General, Please Be Gentle, the Prime Minister is My Little Puppy," and fell completely silent.
With a trembling voice and a hint of doubt, she asked her, "Mother, is this really effective?"
Madam Xie blushed and avoided eye contact. "I am a woman, so of course I understand women better. Just follow this instructions, and it will definitely work."
"Once she truly develops feelings for you, the marriage will be much easier to discuss."
Xie Yaochuan thought about how Mu Yunshang often made him call her "sister," and suddenly realized that it was indeed possible.
Anyway, things can't get any worse than treating him like a younger brother, so there's no harm in giving it a try.
-
But this one attempt led to serious consequences.
"What did you say?" Xie Yaochuan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stood straight in front of the Mu family mansion, staring intently at the Mu family steward in front of him, as if trying to see right through him.
The butler was also completely baffled, secretly guessing that the young lady and Lord Xie must have had another falling out, which was why he was asked to deliver this order. After all, he had watched the young lady grow up, so he was bound to side with her.
"The young lady said that from today onwards, Lord Xie is not allowed to step into this door again!"
The butler sighed helplessly, then lowered his voice and said to Xie Yaochuan, "My lord, you should really think about it carefully. When exactly did you offend our young lady? Although she seems easygoing and gentle on ordinary days, she can be just as fierce as the second young lady when she gets angry. Fortunately, she is kind-hearted and easy to coax. As long as you can figure out what you did wrong and apologize, everything will be fine."
Xie Yaochuan stared blankly at the tightly closed gate of the Mu family mansion, a sense of loss welling up inside him. He never imagined that he would one day be turned away from the Mu family mansion.
What did I do wrong?
Wasn't it just like what's described in storybooks, that I offended her?
but……
Xie Yaochuan pursed his lips, looked at the wall beside him, gritted his teeth, and climbed into the Mu residence from the tree next to him.
She slipped away from everyone and entered Yunshang's courtyard.
Alternatively, it could be said that the servants of the Mu family saw him from afar and all of them hid away.
Yunshang sat by the small pond, dressed in a pink dress, holding a small child in her arms, and was throwing fish food into the pond little by little.
He recognized the child.
It was Mu Yunchen, Yunshang's younger brother, who was extremely mischievous and could only be quiet for a while with his sister.
Anyone who steps out of this courtyard could upend the Mu family.
The old lady doted on her eldest grandson, wishing she could move all the good things into his little courtyard.
Mu Yunchen is still young, only a little over two years old, but he is very precocious. He naturally knows where he can cause trouble and where he cannot.
Although the older sister seemed gentle and easy to talk to, she was actually the one he feared the most.
The older sister's face froze, and he didn't dare to move.
Unlike his second sister, who would only grab him, lift him up, and give him a couple of slaps before tossing him aside, no matter how naughty he was.
But the older sister looked at him with a very disappointed look, and then stared at him as he practiced writing for a whole day without eating a single grain of rice!
He was terrified (T^T).
Today, the older sister had a stern face again, and a wave of cold air rushed towards him.
he……
It seems he hasn't had time to do anything today (ΘдΘ;)?
She had originally planned to coax her older sister into giving her some money so she could sneak out and play, but judging from this situation, forget about getting any money.
Whether he can successfully get out of this courtyard is a huge question ╥﹏╥.
If he had known, he wouldn't have come to his eldest sister's courtyard. He would have gone to his second sister's place, gotten beaten up, pretended to be injured, and extorted money for medicine. That would have been much faster.
Suddenly, Mu Yunchen's eyes lit up.
