Mu Mingtang still stood there and looked towards the direction Xie Xuanchen left, unable to bear to look away. Several young daughters-in-law of the Xu family turned away to wipe their tears. Senior Madam Xu sighed and said, Its windy outside. Please co back indoors, Your Highness.
After Xie Xuanchen left, Mu Mingtang temporarily stayed at the Xu Residence. Life with the Xu family was indeed very lively. Mu Mingtang had people coming to play with her from the mont she woke up in the morning until she went to bed at night. With that, her schedule was pretty much endless. The Xu family had many sons and they married wives from all over. Most of these won were the daughters of military generals families. Although so were gentle and so were cheerful in temperant, they didnt have scheming thoughts 24/7, so they were very nice to get along with.
Several of the young daughters of the Xu family who have not married also liked to co to Mu Mingtang. Her Highness was trained by the Jiang family and served as a Princess in the capital for two years. In comparison, her experience was far beyond that of these little girls who grew up in Zhongshan City. Therefore, she would sotis teach the girls of the Xu family to embroider or write. When their mother knew about it after they returned to their rooms, she would co back with double the gratitude.
1st Madam Xu was such in nature. Mu Mingtang was surprised when she heard the older woman express her gratitude with a deep gesture of appreciation. Mu Mingtang only smiled and said, 1st Madam, that is too much. I cant help much in other aspects, so Im rely teaching the young ladies so embroidering or writing skills. It really doesnt take much effort at all.
Its a simple effort for Your Highness, but its a huge favour for , 1st Madam Xus expression was still very solemn as she said, Our 6th Young Lady is going to discuss the prospects of marriage soon. Without intention to hide from Your Highness, as a military-based family, it is very troubleso for my daughter to negotiate a marriage. The civil servants look down on us and I feel really bad to have her marry into another military-based family. Now that this is just the beginning, from the mont the Beirong people have torn up the agreent, there will inevitably be more wars in the next few years. My father and brother are both military n, and after I got married, the Xu family has been an essential force in the army for generations. My mother-in-law and husband have been good to over the years and my sisters-in-law are easy to get along with. Logically speaking, I really shouldnt be dissatisfied, but every ti they go out to patrol in the early morning, Im always so worried that one night, I would no longer be able to see my husband or my son.
Mu Mingtang heard her worries and sighed. She understood this feeling very well. Life in the Xu family was very warm and they were also very kind to her. They were afraid that she would not feel comfortable alone, so they tried different ways to make her happy. Nevertheless, Mu Mingtangs heart never felt truly peaceful for a mont.
She couldnt help but wonder where Xie Xuanchen had gone every day and whether he would be in danger. The slightest change in weather made her frightened. Mu Mingtang understood 1st Madam Xus mood very well, and so, she could also understand her intentions of not wanting her daughter to marry a soldier.
