Mu shi put this matter in her heart, even telling Qiu Ju when she went to sleep that she would send a visit card to Zhao's house tomorrow. If the Zhao family disliked Jin Yu's background, then she could take Jin Yu as her goddaughter.

In this way, Jin Yu would become Miss Hou's household and match with General Xiao Zhao. The Zhao family should have nothing to say about it.

Master and servant talked until almost midnight before going to sleep. Because she was preoccupied, Mu Shi couldn't fall asleep.

After Mujin had helped the old mistress to bed, she returned to her room and saw that Jin Yu was still awake. She hurried over and sat down beside him.

"Jinyu, sister, I have something happy to tell you."

Jin Yu lay listlessly on the bed, looking lackluster. Hearing Qiu Ju's words, he reluctantly sat up.

"What's wrong, Aunt Qiujing"

Then Qiuju, in a mysterious tone, first asked, "Are you thinking about General Xiao Zhao"

Jin Yu nodded, she had thought a lot during this time. At first, she also thought that someone like her being noticed by General Xiao Zhao was a great blessing, and she thought her happy days were about to come.

General Xiao Zhao is indeed a good person, and his feelings for her are genuine. She believes everything he says is true, and he doesn't care about social status.

As long as two people can live well together and work hard, all these things can be overcome.

Now, he has disappeared for many days. He promised to take her back to meet her mother and work together to gain the approval of his family for their marriage, but there has been no further news.

"Autumn Chrysanthemum, I didn't think of him."

Autumn Chrysanthemum patted her on the back helplessly, "Silly girl, what are you doing with us to make such a fuss Have you looked in the mirror these past few days"

Jin Yu shook her head. She really hadn't been in the mood to do anything these past few days, let alone look in the mirror.

"Your face is full of longing."

"Actually, General Xiao Zhao is also busy. This period of time, the Lord Hou has been so busy that he's often not at home."

"But Lord Hou is still making time to come back and dine with his wife, isn't he"

And it happened more than once.

Actually, General Xiao Zhao has made a few appearances during this time. He has accompanied the general on several occasions and even came alone to deliver a letter to Madam.

Whenever she heard that he had arrived, she would always put down what she was doing and rush over immediately, afraid of missing the chance to see him.

General Xiao Zhao always seemed to be deliberately avoiding her. Every time she arrived at the Hou Mansion, he would leave just moments before.

He didn't even come to see her proactively, just a glimpse He was already at the Hou Mansion, wasn't he

Jin Yu found it difficult to control her thoughts, especially since there was such a big difference in their status.

As soon as she thought of this, Jinyu couldn't help but feel sad again. Qiujiu saw her eyes turn red all of a sudden, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears for her.

"Oh my, why are you crying Your situation with General Xiao Zhao is different from that of the Marquis and his wife. You two haven't even gotten married yet! General Xiao Zhao must be thinking of your reputation. We were just overthinking things."

Jin Yu shook his head and said, "Autumn Chrysanthemum, I don't think this is just my imagination running wild."

"At the beginning, didn't you all think highly of my marriage to General Xiao Zhao Even my own mother said it was a mismatch. The Zhao family would never agree to this union."

Autumn Chrysanthemum was a little flustered, how come this girl Jin Yu's tears just kept getting bigger the more she spoke.

"Don't cry, Jinyu. You said that was in the past. Ever since you've been with General Xiaozhao, no one has brought it up anymore."

"I know," Jin Yu sobbed, "but I also know deep down that what you're saying is true. You're all right."

"A match made in heaven is truly too important. How could the Zhao family allow General Xiao Zhao to marry a woman like me, who came from a lowly servant background I was being too idealistic."

Autumn Chrysanthemum shook her head hurriedly, "That's not it, Jin Yu, don't cry first, listen to me, didn't I just say there was some good news to tell you"

"The old madam has decided to take you in as her adopted daughter and will personally go to the Zhao family to arrange a marriage for you!"

"With Madam coming forward, your and General Zhao's matter will surely be settled. So don't worry, just wait to become the young mistress of the Zhao family."

Jin Yu was stunned when she heard the news.

"The old lady doesn't disapprove of our marriage, she just..."

She never expected the old lady to speak up for her.

"Don't you think Old Madam won't interfere anymore"

Jin Yu blushed and nodded slightly.

"Silly girl, Madam always treats us so well, how could she possibly not care about us."

"At first, she was only worried that you would be mistreated after marrying into the Zhao family. She thought General Zhao wouldn't be much help with domestic matters and that you might suffer. "

Jinyu was already a little embarrassed, "Autumn Chrysanthemum sister, I know I was wrong."

"It's alright, it's alright. Grandma isn't blaming you. As long as you can marry well and live happily ever after with Young General Zhao, we will all be happy for you."

"Can you smile now, are you happy"

Jin Yu broke into a smile, to be honest, she still felt a little unreal. But with the old madam supporting her, she did feel much more confident.

It's no big deal if her wedding falls through. Anyway, she had thought about it before: if she couldn't get married in the future, she would just stay at the Hou Mansion to serve the Madam for the rest of her life. The Hou Mansion was like her home, and the Madam wouldn't drive her away.

"Well, thank you, Qiuju."

After they lay down in bed, the heavy weight on their hearts lifted and soon they fell asleep.

After nightfall, the Hou's residence fell silent.

Outside the walls of Hou Mansion, a circle of men in black surrounded Jiang Chuang. He stood before them.

When Tian met the lights in Hou's mansion were all off, but Jiang Chuang still refused to budge.

"Young Master, this is a chance for Lord Xiang to redeem himself. If he still can't bring back Fang Jinshu's head this time, Lord Xiang won't be so easy to talk to."

"Your mad mother will surely suffer unimaginable torment. Can you bear to let that happen"

After being threatened, Jiang Chuang immediately turned around and grabbed Tian Yi's collar, glaring at him fiercely.

"What do you think you are, threatening me"

Tian Yi didn't struggle at all, he just smiled, his eyes showing no respect whatsoever.

"This subordinate dares not."

"This subordinate is just reminding Young Master not to disappoint Grand Tutor's trust. After all, you are no longer the only young master in the Xiangfu now, and I hope Young Master can see clearly your current status!"

Jiang Chuang let out a cold snort and released his grip.

Even so, it's not your place, you wretched, scum-of-the-earth assassin, to remind me.

A thorn in his heart, a constant source of shame. He yearned to stand openly behind the General, basking in the reflected glory and securing a bright future for himself, rather than forever lurking in the shadows, a blade stained with blood.

Tian's face immediately turned ugly.

"Very well, since the Young Master doesn't wish for his subordinates to remind him, then I shall await good news from the Young Master!"

"Get to work!"

At Tian Yi's command, the black-clad men around him immediately leaped into Houfu.

Jiang Chuang couldn't stop him in time, and then he heard Tian Yi say another sentence.

"Oh, by the way, there's something I forgot to tell young master. Xiang Ye is afraid that when you face Jinxiu, you might be soft-hearted and fail. He specially put a colorless and odorless drug in the tent at Marquis Wu Ding's mansion."er!"Xiao Cao always believed this saying.
