Feeling that something was wrong, he turned around and asked the village head, then called the official over. He took out the household register and asked: ”How come this household register doesn't match up to the number of people in the village?”
The Village Chief did not feel anything yet, Yang Zixuan and Mu Jinzhi's heart skipped a beat! The newcomers were indeed not friendly.
Zuo Ren Xian twitched his mouth in disdain at the side, but upon seeing Mu Jinzhi sneaking a glance at him, he dispelled the disdain in his eyes and smiled intimately, as if the Eunuch Lu standing in front of him was a 15 or 16 year old girl.
”Eunuch Lu, the family that you speak of is this grandpa's little cousin?”
How could Eunuch Lu, who had stayed in the palace for so many years, not understand the meaning behind his words? He responded with a smile that was not a smile: ”I am only following orders, Your Majesty wants to pick girls, the commoners, and all the good looking people are all registered, could it be that Young Master Zuo is dissatisfied with this?”
”Young sir, please don't be angry. My cousin has always been a man of his words. I will just say that I'm following orders, and if I'm not young, I will invite you to my house for a cup of tea.”
Since Mu Rousang was already engaged, there was nothing for him to be afraid of. If his father-in-law really dared to snatch it away, he would not be able to leave the boundaries of Shu Province.
The Eunuch Lu squinted his eyes and said: ”Sir Mu is a person who knows what's good for her, so you don't have to worry about it.”
Mu Jinzhi had no choice but to invite everyone to his house. He secretly exchanged glances with Yang Zixuan, then sent people to notify Mu Rousang at home.
At this time, Mu Rousang was embroidering a marriage dress in her embroidery room. Hearing her words, she lowered her head and smiled coldly, the Princess Xiangyang was really chasing after her relentlessly, she had already cut off all ties with Su Ruirui and was even betrothed to him. Yet, to be still making things so difficult for her, it was just a slap on her face.
”Aunt Liu, in a while, there will be a man from outside the family who will come here. I am afraid that the little girl, Wives, will not know of this matter, so I hope that Aunt can help look after it.”
Aunt Liu replied, ”Miss only wants to be at ease and sit in her room. Even if it's an official, Miss has already made up her mind that we are not going to make an exception. It might even be possible for me to recognize you.”
She knew that Mu Rousang was telling her to hide first.
Mu Rousang laughed and asked: ”Aunty, please do not blame me, I only wanted to give that eunuch a pleasant surprise, even if it is an official chosen, I think that he has some face in the palace, if he really knows Aunt, it would be better for me to sit down to tea and eat some fruits, and recount my past.”
Aunt Liu laughed: ”Young lady's idea is very good.” It was unknown if she was praising Mu Rousang for using her previous identity to intimidate people who came, or if she was praising someone as an old acquaintance, she could really recount old stories.
”Aunt, please go down first and ask the little girl, Wives, to restrain himself.” Mu Rousang was afraid that they would arrive at her doorstep, hence she sent the Aunt Liu down first.
Just now when she was holding the little brat in the kitchen yard, she heard footsteps in the courtyard and knew that her father-in-law and the rest of them had come. Aunt Liu quickly sent the little brat to bring the tea and fruits he had prepared beforehand.
After Mu Jinzhi and the others took their seats, they started to chat. Eunuch Lu then started to talk about the reason why he came: ”I heard that the Mu Family has a female child who has just matured.
Mu Jinzhi and the other two looked at each other, and asked: ”Eunuch, what do you mean by that?”
”I've come to Sichuan and heard about your sister's beautiful appearance. Why haven't I seen her today?”
Furthermore, before he left the capital, someone secretly gave him three thousand taels of silver in banknotes. He said that the other party wanted to bring the Mu Rou Sang, who was from a small mountain village in Peace Town, into the palace to serve the Your Majesty.
Mu Jinzhi secretly understood the meaning of Eunuch Lu's words. Although his little sister was outstanding, she did not spread the news about the pavilion, and only someone with ulterior motives laid a trap for her to slip in, letting out two snorts in his heart.
”Someone, go get the girl! Just say that the envoy from the Eunuch Lu has come to visit us. ”
”Young master, this servant will go now!”
A woman with her head lowered replied as she walked in. It was Aunt Liu.
Due to him lowering his head, Eunuch Lu only felt that his figure was somewhat familiar, he did not think much about it, and only said: ”I am only doing business, and this was my orders to begin with, there is absolutely no reason why I should not wholeheartedly do it.”
The Aunt Liu heard the familiar voice, and also heard Mu Jinzhi call him Eunuch Lu. She stealthily raised her eyelids to take a glance at him and thought, what a good day, when you're in the countryside you become a king, you don't even deserve to be her shoes.
It turned out that Rwanda was the emperor's personal eunuch who was dedicated to offering incense. He didn't know what kind of luck he had, but the most important task for these sons of his to leave the palace fell to him.
