Zi You’s gaze was distant and she faintly said, “It’s because of this, that we’re choosing their fu. Zhao HongXiang’s leg is wasted, but we set an engagement with him at this time. He would certainly think that we’re doing so because of my bad reputation. If he doesn’t care about it, then it shows us that he’s doing us a good turn. But if he does care about it, then he shouldn’t blame us for not taking into account our friendship. After all, whether Shizi’s leg would get better is a problem. We don’t disdain him, but he disdains us. As for matters four or five years later, who knows what will happen?
“If he gets better, we can discuss it then. If not? After four or five years, would granddaughter not obtain any meritorious achievements? As long as there are meritorious achievements, granddaughter will have a way to dissolve the engagement. At that time, You’er will have grown up and shown You’er’s face around the army. It would be best to meet someone who would cherish and not disdain You’er. If not, You’er can spend life alone. What’s the big deal? Besides, grandfather has to believe in your granddaughter’s charm. A good man in the army would certainly like granddaughter.”
At the end, Zi You’s tone turned cheerful, mischievous, and coquettish. Old General Mu couldn’t help but laugh. His mood improved a lot.
He felt that his granddaughter was right. Based on Zi You’s talents and moral character, he didn’t believe that no one would recognize a pearl. At that time, it would be good if he could find amongst his subordinates a young general and entrust Zi You to him.
The soldiers in the army were mostly from poor and humble origins and not prominent families. They definitely wouldn’t care about this ridiculous gossip.
Old General Mu slightly nodded. He suddenly asked, puzzled, “There are plenty of good men in the army now, so grandfather can set an engagement for you. Why do you have to go around in a circle and have to be engaged to Zhao HongXiang, that b*stard?”
