Chapter 107 I don’t know which family’s gold can catch Mr. Mu’s eye
Prime Minister Mu's Mansion.
Mu Yanran went back to her parents' home to visit Madam Mu, and also invited Fang Muyao and Zhang Qianqian to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The three of them were chatting and laughing in the flower hall when they saw Mu Yun who had hurried back.
"Brother Mu." Zhang Qianqian stood up and greeted him shyly. Mu Yun didn't even look at her as he walked through the hall and left.
Seeing Zhang Qianqian's disappointed look, Fang Muyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly, with a hint of playful sarcasm in her eyes.
Mu Yanran felt that Mu Yun was a little too much, so she pulled Zhang Qianqian over to comfort him, "My brother is busy running the shop every day and often doesn't go home. He always comes and goes in a hurry. Please don't mind."
"Yanran, Mr. Mu should be very picky, right? He hasn't gotten engaged yet, and I don't know which daughter can catch his eye." After Fang Muyao finished speaking, she did not forget to glance at Zhang Qianqian.
Zhang Qianqian was already feeling upset because the man she had loved since childhood ignored her, and she felt even more upset after Fang Muyao said that.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know how good the Queen is to me?" Mu Yanran couldn't hide her pride and boasted about how favored she was by the Queen.
In the study.
"Yesterday the emperor asked about your marriage and intended to marry Princess Anyue to you, but I didn't agree." Mu Huairen walked to the desk and stretched out a hand to collect the unfinished books.
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Father is right."
Mu Huairen snorted coldly. His son was really a worry for him. He was smart and managed the family business in an orderly manner. But he was always away from home, sometimes he would not be seen for ten days or half a month.
"Princess Anyue is too arrogant and not suitable for you. I heard that Qin Mu's daughter Qin Hongyu is outstanding in appearance and is still unmarried. I want to find an opportunity to propose to her. What do you think?" Mu Huairen said slowly.
Mu Yun hurriedly said, "Father, I don't agree." He certainly knew what his father was thinking. Qin Hongyu's father, Qin Mu, was the Minister of War, and Mu Huairen only saw this point.
Indeed, Mu Huairen saw that Prince Xuan and Prince Jing were married, and guessed that the emperor might want to appoint a crown prince. If he could win over Qin Mu, his son-in-law Prince Xuan's chances of success would greatly increase. And the reason why he rejected Princess Anyue was because Princess Anyue was the sister of Prince Xiang Chu Xinghai, and their lineage would not support Prince Xuan in the future because Prince Xiang was also ambitious.
Over the years, Mu Huairen has won over many court officials, but there are also many ministers who do not want to be associated with him, such as Qin Mu, who has always been upright and loyal. He hates forming cliques and factions. He believes that forming cliques and factions is an attempt to disrupt the order of the court.
Mu Yun said, "Father, I heard that Qin Hongyu and Liu Hongzhang, the son of Liu Junyi, the Minister of Personnel, have been childhood sweethearts and have been in love with each other. Both families have tacitly agreed. It's inappropriate for you to propose marriage, isn't it?"
"Hmph! Childhood sweethearts love each other, but haven't they gotten engaged yet? Come with me to the Qin residence tomorrow!" Mu Huairen said coldly. This son never stood on his side.
"Father, this will only annoy people, so you'd better not do it. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After saying that, Mu Yun turned and left.
Mu Huairen's anger was already maxed out. He pointed at Mu Yun's departing back and angrily said, "You, you, you unfilial son!"
Mu Yun often thought that he should not have been born in the prime minister's mansion. A few years ago, he was also a spoiled and willful young man who was avoided by others. But since he met Qi Nanfeng, his outlook on life has changed a lot.
Qi Nanfeng made him see clearly some of his father's deeds and ambitions, and made this noble young man realize how hypocritical his father, whom he once was proud of, was.
Qi Nanfeng took him to the market to see the lives of ordinary people, which made him feel more and more how shameful he was.
He didn't want his marriage to be arranged by his father, and he didn't want to become a pawn of his father's ambition. Of course, the most important thing was that he already had someone in his heart, and when he thought of his beloved girl, he couldn't help laughing.
But when he thought of his beloved girl's father, Mu Yun couldn't laugh anymore. That was a wall between him and Tan Yulian. A few years ago, Old Tan was a carpenter. Because Mu Huairen saw that his shop had a good location, he designed to turn him into a gambler. He lost the shop and owed a lot of debts.
Later, Lao Tan came to his senses and realized that he had been tricked. But he couldn't escape the debt he owed, so he tried every possible way to pay it back, but he still couldn't fill the huge hole.
Later, Mu Huairen's men took away Old Tan's daughter to pay off the debt, and sold her to a brothel. Qi Nanfeng happened to see her, and he redeemed Tan Yulian and told Mu Yun about it.
Mu Yun felt ashamed of the evil deeds done by his father. He paid money to settle the old Tan father and daughter, and often bought things to visit them and gave them some money.
Later, after getting to know each other better, he and Tan Yulian developed feelings for each other, but how could this be hidden from Old Tan?
Old Tan tried to obstruct them, but what made Mu Yun happy was that no matter how many obstacles there were, Tan Yulian remained loyal to him.
In order to atone for his father's sins, Mu Yun bought a house in the countryside and housed dozens of homeless children and elderly people. He paid for the children to go to school and for the elderly to spend their old age in peace.
Seeing that he still had some conscience, Old Tan and Yu Lian took on the responsibility of taking care of the elderly and children. But this still did not change Old Tan's heart. He hated Mu Huairen to the core and wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood! Naturally, he had no good feelings towards his son Mu Yun.
Mu Yun and Yu Lian, fearing to anger Lao Tan, could only hide their love and yearning in their hearts. They waited for the day when Lao Tan agreed.
