Lu Yuanfeng’s question made Mu Shuangshuang pause slightly.
Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang were certainly in a difficult position.
On one hand were parents who were in a weak position, physically and ntally injured, and on the other hand, one’s own abilities were not sufficient to solve the problems faced by the parents.
However, what Mu Shuangshuang wanted was for Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang to be in a difficult position.
Only this way could she force out the evil hidden in the hearts of those people in the Old Mu Family.
Let her parents fully understand the true nature of those people in the Old Mu Family! Including that so-called scholar uncle!
The Imperial Edict in the Capital had been issued long ago, and in theory, Mu Dade should have left the Capital already; even at the slowest pace, he should have reached the county
Yet from start to finish, he hadn’t sent a single family letter.
This can only an that Mu Dade hadn’t gained any benefits in the Capital, and it’s very likely he intends to abandon these poor relatives, seeking freedom alone.
Adding to that the ti when she saw Mrs. Jin in town looking as ragged as a beggar, Mu Shuangshuang realized Mrs. Jin hadn’t followed him to the Capital.
Mu Shuangshuang always felt that the Old Mu Family would face a catastrophe, and even Mu Shuangshuang couldn’t estimate how large it would be.
She must prepare everything before this catastrophe strikes to protect the third branch!
If she waited until things happened and then tried to think, it would be too late!
"Fengzi... I just feel... from now on, our Old Mu Family won’t be peaceful!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Yuanfeng grasped Mu Shuangshuang’s hand.
"Don’t be afraid, I am by your side!" Lu Yuanfeng said.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled and held Lu Yuanfeng’s hand back, gripping it tightly.
"Fengzi, if there’s sothing you want to do, please don’t hesitate because of . If you’ve thought it through and decided to do it, just go ahead!"
What Mu Shuangshuang said gave Lu Yuanfeng the feeling that she knew sothing.
"Did you... find out?" Lu Yuanfeng’s voice was a bit hoarse.
"Yes!" Mu Shuangshuang nodded, then added: "I guessed it. When you told Xing Beichen was preparing to go to the Northwest, I felt you would ultimately choose there!"
Mu Shuangshuang’s words didn’t convey sadness; instead, there was a kind of relief.
Mu Shuangshuang always felt that her existence might influence Lu Yuanfeng’s judgnts.
She never thought that love is a burden; love should be a strength.
Those with love in their hearts don’t fear doing anything!
"Shuangshuang, I..." Lu Yuanfeng looked at the girl who belonged to him right in front of him.
Her brows and eyes were so beautiful.
She was so understanding.
Anything, as long as it belonged to Shuangshuang, was good.
People are good, character is good!
"Shh, let’s not talk about that. Although I have no objections to you going to the military camp for experience, I do have a few requests for you!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
"Yes! Tell !" Lu Yuanfeng was full of excitent.
"First, stay alive! It’s okay to get minor injuries, but absolutely cannot die!"
Mu Shuangshuang was not the rational type of girl; at tis, she was calmly unlike others when facing certain situations.
On the battlefield, no one is unscathed; even the commander might get injured.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily.
"Second, starting tomorrow, except for sleeping and squatting in the outhouse, you must learn, learn to write your own na, learn to write my na. If there’s a chance, write to ; the content can be patterns, but the nas must be in words!" Mu Shuangshuang said.
Lu Yuanfeng nodded again.
"Third, do you rember... those things for strengthening your body I taught you before? Actually, that’s just part of what I know. Additionally, there are more practical things I will teach you during this period!"
Mu Shuangshuang learned grappling and combat, defense skills, and various martial arts in her previous life.
Though they only served to strengthen the body in many situations, teaching the right person could achieve extraordinary effects.
Besides, on the battlefield, cold weapons were used, with more close combat involved.
"Okay!" Lu Yuanfeng nodded heavily this ti.
"Fourth, and the only one, I know so things; I’m not sure if they’ll be useful to you in the future, but I feel more at ease telling you!"
The Art of War by Sun Tzu, a military book passed down in Huaxia for ages; in this era, Mu Shuangshuang had heard no one ntion it.
She also asked Xing Beichen if he had heard of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, and Xing Beichen replied to her, "Military art is sothing a commander would know; he doesn’t know Sun Tzu, nor has he heard of The Art of War by Sun Tzu."
It was precisely that statent that made Mu Shuangshuang more convinced to impart everything she had seen to Lu Yuanfeng.
She didn’t know if it would be useful, but she knew that even the slightest chance had to be grasped.
What if it succeeded?
What Mu Shuangshuang said was, in fact, sothing completely impossible to be accessed or known by a rural girl.
But she chose to say these words to Lu Yuanfeng.
Lu Yuanfeng wouldn’t ask why she knew these things, and he certainly wouldn’t be curious whether she was truly Mu Shuangshuang.
Lu Yuanfeng only knew that he liked the person in front of him, having walked step by step with Shuangshuang to the present.
"Fengzi, I think at this mont, we should go to the main residence of the Old Mu Family to join the commotion; right now, the good show should be starting!"
As Mu Shuangshuang finished speaking, she smiled mysteriously at Lu Yuanfeng!
——
Old Mu Family——
Mu Dashan and Yu Si Niang followed Mu Danian to Mr. Mu and Old Mrs. Mu’s room.
One was lying on the kang, covered with a thin quilt, looking ghastly pale.
The other was sitting on the stool in the room, with a bandage wrapped around the forehead, faintly showing a bit of blood.
Mu Dashan looked at this scene, his eyes unconsciously turning red.
"Dad, Mom, what... what happened to you?" Mu Dashan asked.
Mr. Mu opened his eyes, saw Mu Dashan, and sighed deeply.
"Third, it’s Father’s fault... I didn’t listen to you back then and didn’t go to borrow money from Gao Tiezhu, now... now..." Once Mr. Mu spoke of that matter, he began wiping the tears in his eyes.
"What on earth happened, please tell !" Mu Dashan got anxious.
"Third brother, it’s like this. Back then, Father borrowed fifty taels to make up the travel expenses for Eldest Brother to go to the Capital, so
he went to Gao Tiezhu to borrow fifty taels.
At the ti, we agreed to repay one hundred taels after a year, Eldest Brother would repay. The words in black and white were clearly written on the contract, but now that beast Gao Tiezhu deceitfully claims otherwise!
Clearly it was fifty taels of silver; he insists each of us borrowed fifty taels. At that ti, it was and my second brother and Dad who went to borrow it, so now the borrowed money, with interest, totals three hundred taels of silver!"
That three hundred taels of silver nearly scared Mu Dashan into kneeling on the ground!
