Chapter 114.3

Zi You was a bit embarrassed and said bashfully, “Grandfather, how old is You’er? Granddaughter wants to get engaged to Zhao HongXiang to quell the gossip and use him to block the wangzis. It’s not because granddaughter actually likes him. But you’ve said it. The Mu army is filled with good men. Granddaughter naturally doesn’t want to take advantage of them. We have to find a…… Aiya! Grandfather, You’er is still young. Let’s talk about this some other time. Grandfather, do as You’er says. You’er will think of a solution in the future.”
“Okay, okay, okay. Grandfather won’t say anymore. I’ll do what You’er says.”
Old General Mu looked at his granddaughter getting shy and smiled lovingly.
He thought that she was correct. She was only twelve years old. They still had a year or two to think about marriage.
If it wasn’t for these rumors, how could he give that little beast Zhao HongXiang a cheap advantage? He wasn’t even worthy of having his name be tied to You’er’s.
Old General Mu thought and immediately said to Zi You, “This is good too. When we go train in the mountains, you would inevitably come into contact with soldiers. It would be good if you get engaged then. Grandfather will make it clear to Duke Yongnan. He is rather reasonable and easier to talk to than the other officials.”
“No.” Zi You immediately objected. “Grandfather, don’t take the initiative to find them. You’er has a way to make them take the initiative to find us.”
Old General Mu grew up in the military his whole life. His intelligence was used on the battlefield. For a situation like this, he really didn’t have many ideas.
Looking at his tricky granddaughter, he felt that she really did grow up. It was as if she knew everything. She was so clever and witty that people looked at her in awe.
Old General Mu was very gratified, but with it came worry. “Sweetheart, you wouldn’t do anything foolish, right? That kid is hateful, but we don’t have any deep animosity with him. Is it good that we’re doing this?”
