Chapter 407: Stop Daydreaming

"Mu Nanjin became the Duke of the State. Mu Nanjin actually became the Duke of the State."

Xu Xinhe excitedly shook Jiang Zhenru's arm.

Tang Maodian also said to Tang Wenzong very excitedly: "I really didn't expect that dead girl..."

"Tang Maodian."

Tang Wenzong interrupted him sternly: "From now on, you can't be so rude as the Duke of the State, otherwise no one can keep the Tang family safe."

Tang Maodian nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, you can't call her a dead girl anymore. Call her the Duke of the State from now on."

Tang Wenzong said to the servants in the house: "You and the servants outside all retreat to the backyard. You are not allowed to come out without our permission."

"Yes."

The servants in the house left the hall and took the servants in the front yard to the backyard.

Tang Wenzong exhaled and said, "I always thought Mu Nanjin would be promoted to the first rank, but I didn't expect her to become a Duke."

Jiang Zhenru was surprised and said, "You are so optimistic about her?"

Tang Wenzong shook his head and said, "It's not that I am optimistic about her, but the emperor is particularly optimistic about her. The emperor has long intended to promote her, but she didn't want to. Later, she left the capital, and the promotion was stopped. Now Mu Nanjin has become a Duke of Zhenguo in less than a year since she came back. This is something that no one can do."

Jiang Zhenru was very curious: "What does the emperor think of Mu Nanjin? Is she good at martial arts?"

"It's just one of the reasons. The other reason cannot be said."

Tang Maodian smiled happily: "It's a good thing that the emperor is optimistic about Mu Nanjin. Mu Nanjin may be promoted to a prince in the future, and we are the prince's relatives."

Tang Wenzong, Jiang Zhenru: "..."

"Let's pack up and go back to Beijing now."

Xu Xinhe took Jiang Zhenru out.

Jiang Zhenru hurriedly stopped: "Mother-in-law, why are we going back to Beijing?"

Yes.

The Xu Xinhe in front of her was the former old lady Tang.

She and old man Tang have regained their youthful appearance since they took the elixir given by Mu Qinyi.

Now the two live in the Tang family as distant relatives of Tang Wenzong and call each other cousins.

As for the former identities of old man and old lady Tang, when they returned to He County, they buried them in the soil on the grounds of being seriously ill.

Now Tang Maodian and Xu Xinhe have completely new identities.

However, when no one is around, Jiang Zhenru and Tang Wenzong still call them father and mother.

This is also the reason why Tang Wenzong did not get angry even though he was so rude in front of County Magistrate Kong.

Xu Xinhe said as a matter of course: "Of course we will go back to Beijing to celebrate for Mu Nanjin."

Jiang Zhenru disagreed: "We are too far away from Beijing. Not to mention the fatigue of the journey, even if we rush back, the celebration banquet will have passed."

"We are all relatives, just set up another table."

Jiang Zhenru was really speechless: "Do we have to have a meal and then go back to He County?"

The cost of their round trip is enough for them to have several tables of food here.

Why bother? It is better to use the money to buy a gift and send it over.

"Go back to He County?" Xu Xinhe was puzzled: "Why go back to He County? We will not go back to He County in the future."

"Not going back to He County?" Jiang Zhenru frowned: "Do you want to live in the capital forever?"

They returned to He County to cover up the identities of Xu Xinhe and Tang Maodian, otherwise they would not be in a hurry to leave Kyoto,

"Yes. Mu Nanjin has become the Duke of Zhenguo. As her relatives, we should go back to the capital to enjoy the good life with her. We can make friends with more princes and nobles in the future to pave the way for our grandson. It would be best if Jingrui could marry a princess. Of course, it would be even better if Jingrui could marry her."

Tang Wenzong knew that his parents would have such thoughts, and suddenly frowned and said: Mother, Mu Nanjin's surname is Mu, not Tang. No matter how lucky she is, it has nothing to do with us. Others will be polite to us at most, but the emperor will not marry the princess to Jingrui for Mu Nanjin. You just said it, but don't say it in front of others, and don't think about it in the future, lest it bring disaster to the Tang family and Jingrui. "

Jiang Zhenru pulled Xu Xinhe's hand down and said helplessly: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about your attitude towards Mu Nanjin in the past. Since entering the Tang family, have you ever given her a good face? "

Don't mention the old man Tang and the old lady Tang, even she and Tang Wenzong were also sarcastic when they learned that Mu Nanjin admired Tang Jingrui. How could they have the face to take advantage of Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin did not announce to the public that he had drawn a clear line with the Tang family, which was a mercy for the Tang family because of the past relationship.

Xu Xinhe, Tang Maodian: "..."

Tang Wenzong: "Besides, we broke up with Mu Qinyi, and we have no blood relationship with Mu Nanjin. What kind of happiness can we enjoy with her when we go back? We are lucky that she didn't come to mess with us."

Jiang Zhenru begged: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, please don't go back to the capital to provoke Mu Nanjin, otherwise, if she is unhappy, the Tang family and Jingrui will be finished, and even Jiang Jiang will be implicated."

When Xu Xinhe and Tang Maodian thought that there would be no Tang family in the future, their legs softened and they almost sat on the ground. They quickly held the chairs next to them to stabilize their bodies.

Jiang Zhenru supported Xu Xinhe: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, we will send you back to your room, and forget about what happened today. Don't think about it anymore."

Tang Wenzong also helped Tang Maodian up and sent him back to the backyard room.

Xu Xinhe and Tang Maodian sat on the chair blankly.

Tang Wenzong and Jiang Zhenru left immediately after sending them back to their room, so as to prevent Xu Xinhe and others from making trouble again and going to the capital to enjoy life with Mu Nanjin.

Shortly after they left, Tang Maodian sighed: "I regret it, I really regret it, I regret not treating Mu Nanjin well."

Xu Xinhe also sighed: "If I had known she was so ambitious, I would have worshipped her as my ancestor."

Tang Maodian pounded his chest with great regret: "We should have raised her as our own granddaughter, and now she can be taken to the Duke's Mansion as her grandparents to enjoy the blessings. At that time, I don't know how many court officials would flatter us, and we would have received endless gifts."

"That's right, the top-quality pearl was right in front of us, but she was covered in dust. It was really blind."

Xu Xinhe regretted it so much that she slammed the table hard, wishing she could hit her head against the wall, and then go back to the time when she took Mu Nanjin and took care of her.

At this time, the servants came in with food: "Young master, young lady, it's time for lunch."

"What food? How can I have the mood to eat."

Tang Maodian swept the food on the table away angrily.

Xu Xinhe also stood up angrily and yelled: "Get out, all of you get out."

The servants quickly cleaned up and left. When they returned to the kitchen, they could no longer hold back and said, "What the hell. The poor fellows who came here to seek refuge think they are the masters of the Tang family. They have a worse temper than the masters. Only the masters can tolerate them. If I were them, I would have driven them out with a broom."

Others also couldn't stand Xu Xinhe and Tang Maodian, and they all started to yell.

The people who were hiding in the dark and peeking left quietly when they saw this. (End of this chapter)
