Chapter 305 Scheming Against My Godfather
Jiang Miaomiao was speechless.
I'm amazed at how cunning this second aunt is.
Grandma Mu was eager to have a grandson and couldn't wait to put a woman next to her godfather so that this old tree could blossom sooner.
I hope to have a grandson soon so that the Mu family can continue its lineage.
In ancient times, offspring were of paramount importance, especially since the godfather was the only son of Old Madam Mu, bearing the heavy responsibility of continuing the Mu family line.
Moreover, his ducal title must be inherited.
If his lineage were to end, the old Duke would probably be turning in his grave.
Jiang Miaomiao had heard from Aunt Jiang Yue that Old Madam Mu really wanted to knock her son unconscious with a stick so that he would get married and have children.
Now that Auntie Mu thinks this way, it's exactly what Old Madam Mu wanted.
If Lu Zhiyun were disguised as a servant or soldier, the higher-ups would turn a blind eye, and it would be easy to send her into the military camp.
In such a place, if there were a beautiful woman by one's side to relieve loneliness, there would probably be few men in the world who could resist the temptation.
They must be so happy they don't even want to leave.
Once the time was right and she had given birth to a son or daughter, Lu Zhiyun could finally say that her ordeal was over.
A mother's status rises with her son's.
Given my godfather's personality, he would never mistreat him.
Moreover, the Mu family knows the Lu family's situation best, even before the male members of the Lu family have been reinstated.
Given Old Mrs. Mu's character, she would always cherish her.
After the Lu family was exonerated, Lu Zhiyun, as a direct descendant of the Lu family and having a close relationship with her godfather, naturally became the Duchess of the State.
Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!
Jiang Miaomiao greatly admired her second aunt.
From her perspective, this plan is brilliant and will most likely succeed.
However, from the godfather's perspective, he would feel that he had been tricked and that the mother and daughter were too insidious.
They'd rather avoid it at all costs.
Jiang Miaomiao glanced at her cousin Lu Zhiyun, who was eavesdropping intentionally or unintentionally.
She must have overheard her mother's conversation, because she looked a little shy, and her little face was all red.
Jiang Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat.
No, no, no.
Cousin Zhiyun actually has a crush on her godfather, Mu Yunji.
It turns out there was genuine affection hidden within this scheme.
But... but she really didn't like this cold-hearted cousin being her godmother.
It feels like I've met a stepmother.
……
Inside the room, Lu Qingyao opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
From Old Madam Mu's perspective, as long as Lu Zhiyun can give birth to a son or daughter for the Mu family, she doesn't need to be Mu Yunji's official wife.
There's nothing I can't agree to.
But she could never bring herself to tell Old Madam Mu that she wanted her niece to be a concubine for her son.
Not to mention his collusion with the Lin family to plot against Mu Yunji.
Lu Qingyao was certain that Lin's plan was kept secret from her mother.
"Second sister-in-law, have you mentioned this to Mother? What did she say?"
Madam Lin pursed her lips and replied, "Sister, Mother has been having headaches lately and doesn't like to meddle in these kinds of things, so let's not bother her for now. We can tell her after things have settled down."
"This is a major event in Yun'er's life, how can it be considered a trivial matter? Mother is the matriarch of the Lu family, how can I, a married woman, overstep my bounds? Besides, I just got divorced, it doesn't seem very auspicious for me to go and arrange a marriage for someone else, does it?"
Lu Qingyao tried her best to persuade her to give up.
Unfortunately, Madam Lin wouldn't listen at all and burst into tears.
"Third sister, if you don't want to help Yun'er find a husband, just say so. There's no need to make excuses. You know your mother-in-law won't agree to Yun'er becoming a concubine in the Mu family, but what can I do? I can't just stand by and watch Yun'er go to a temple to become a nun or marry a beggar, can I?"
Lu Qingyao: ...
That's it! They really won't give up until they've hit rock bottom.
While Lin's method worked for Old Madam Mu, it might not work for Mu Yunji.
Otherwise, even if he hadn't married, he would probably already have a large family by now.
She gently comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, don't cry. Here's what I'll do: I'll invite Jiang Yue over for you, and you can ask her yourself."
Lin nodded.
That's good too. I suppose Miss Mu also hopes that her brother will get married and have children as soon as possible.
They probably won't stop them.
Then the two of them heard a soft, childlike voice chattering outside the door.
"Cousin Yun, do you have feelings for my godfather?"
"Don't talk nonsense, who has feelings for your godfather?" Lu Zhiyun said, reaching out to cover Jiang Miaomiao's mouth.
Xi'er stopped them.
Lu Zhiyun really wanted to find a rag to gag this brat.
So annoying.
Jiang Miaomiao: "If you don't like my godfather, why did you become his concubine?"
Lu Zhiyun: ...
"Who wants to be your godfather's concubine..." Lu Zhiyun said halfway through her sentence, then suddenly realized what she meant and looked at Jiang Miaomiao in disbelief.
"Miaomiao, you said that Duke Shen, Mu Yunji, took you in as his goddaughter? And you call him godfather?"
Jiang Miaomiao nodded, "Yes, not only me, but also the older brothers."
Lu Zhiyun regretted her bad attitude towards Miaomiao earlier. Would this child hold a grudge?
She knelt down beside the little girl and said gently, "Miaomiao, after I join the Mu family, I'll cook delicious food for you every day, okay? What do you like to eat?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
This pie in the sky isn't tempting at all.
If Aunt Xiuxiu were to say it, it would be very convincing.
She tilted her head, looking like she was thinking about something, and muttered to herself.
"Cousin Yun, if you become my godfather's concubine, then when I see you, can I not call you 'sister' anymore, but only 'Aunt Yun'?"
Lu Zhiyun: ...
This child seems to know everything.
“I heard from Aunt Jiang Yue that ordinary respectable families would not give their daughters away to become concubines. Concubines are considered lowly, and they are sold. In respectable families, concubines are treated as maids.”
"Cousin Yun, I don't want you to become a concubine. I can't bring myself to call you Father's concubine..."
"Jiang Miaomiao, you... stop talking." Lu Zhiyun gritted her teeth, her face flushed with anger.
Where did this little brat come from?
So annoying.
How could someone say such hurtful things? I just want to throw her out.
She was only a concubine temporarily; in this brat's mouth, she was called a maid.
It can drive a person half to death with anger.
Xi'er protected her young mistress, afraid that she would be beaten.
He suppressed a laugh, for it had been a long time since he had seen that venomous mouth of the young lady since coming to the capital.
She knows how to touch people's hearts.
Lu Qingyao looked somewhat embarrassed.
Seeing Lin's ashen face, he quickly tried to smooth things over, "Second sister-in-law, children say the darndest things, please don't take it to heart."
My daughter's mouth is really something...
Tell the truth.
The words she couldn't bear to say were spoken by her daughter.
Pushing open the door, I saw Lu Zhiyun's face turning red and white as she glared angrily at her daughter.
Lu Qingyao walked over, blocking her view, and picked up her daughter in her arms.
She hated it when people looked at Miaomiao like that.
Even a niece wouldn't do.
