Chapter 558 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (29)

Shen Yucang suppressed the restlessness in his chest and forcefully took Mu Zhou's hand.

"Of course I'll go back with you to meet your parents."

He held the person tightly in his arms and stated a domineering and cruel truth:

“Zhouzhou, you should understand that you can never get rid of me.”

Mu Zhou's eyelashes trembled, and he silently lowered his eyes. Then he sighed and continued:

“I can wait until the day you truly accept me, but until then, you can only stay by my side.”

Does Mu Zhou want to go home?

Yes, he will come along.

She can go wherever she wants, do whatever she wants, and it doesn't even matter if she doesn't like him.

But I just can't leave him.

Although Shen Chucang felt heartbroken at her dislike and rejection, he would rather suffer in despair than let her go.

Shen Yucang gently stroked the hair at the back of her head, as if he were saying some sweet words.

In reality, every word and phrase is domineering.

Mu Zhou looked at him, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

In the end, they could only accept his arrangement.

Returning to Ruancheng, Mu Zhou felt as if he had been through another world.

The parents at home were both surprised and angry.

"You child, you are so bold. You have never been far from home before, yet you dared to go to Anping alone without making a sound."

The mother couldn't help but give him a few words of advice.

But seeing the worry on Mu Zhou's face, and remembering that she had mentioned that the young man from the Shen family already had a girlfriend, she couldn't bear to continue talking.

"Hurry up and change your clothes. I've had the cook prepare your favorite dishes. Nothing tastes as good as home cooking outside."

Although Mr. Mu maintained a cold expression, he agreed with what Mrs. Mu said.

Let's eat first, and then we'll talk.

"Mother, Father, I'm going back to my room now."

Mu Zhou knew that her parents cared about her, and her nose tingled with emotion, her eyes quietly reddening.

After she left, Mr. Mu slammed his fist on the table in anger:

"That damned Shen family! They actually conspired to deceive us, keeping one outside and another at home? Dream on!"

Mu's mother was also furious.

Now that we live in a new society, it's not common for respectable families to take concubines. How dare the Shen family treat her daughter like this?

In the eyes of Mu's parents, they didn't care about opposing arranged marriages or advocating free love. They thought that Shen Congjun looking for someone outside meant he wanted to take a concubine.

They don't take the Mu family seriously.

“Master, our daughter can’t just suffer this in silence.”

"Of course, I will definitely make the Shen family pay the price."

The Mu family is a prominent family in Ruancheng, and the marriage alliance with the Shen family is a win-win situation for the Shen family.

They would naturally not let it go after being deceived and humiliated by the other party.

Meanwhile, Mu Zhou and his family returned to their room after dinner.

Shen Yucang was quite sensible; he didn't act arrogantly and went home with her directly.

He goes out with such a grand air; if he were to go out with her in a big way, who knows what kind of waves it would cause in this remote little town.

Thinking about all this, Mu Zhou fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, news began to spread that Shen's son had broken his promise and had been having an affair while studying abroad.

Many people knew that Shen Congjun had run away from the wedding ceremony, but the Mu family used strong tactics to suppress it, and no one dared to say anything about it openly.

Now that such rumors have resurfaced, people are naturally reminded of what happened before.

No wonder he ran away from the wedding; it turns out he had another woman outside the marriage.

But he had a woman but didn't dare to admit it. Instead of apologizing to the Mu family, he chose the most hurtful option: running away from the wedding on the spot.

It's truly despicable.

In an instant, Shen Congjun was labeled as irresponsible.

The Mu family was also surprised when they learned of the rumors circulating outside.

They did indeed go to settle accounts with the Shen family early in the morning, and also planned to suppress them through business means.

But unexpectedly, such news suddenly spread.

Mu Zhou listened quietly from the side, and when he learned that it wasn't his parents who did it, he had his own suspicions.

Mother Mu was worried that these rumors would affect Mu Zhou, and was about to ask the master to suppress them when a servant suddenly came to report.

"Master, Madam, a troop of soldiers has suddenly arrived outside the manor. They say the young marshal of Anping has come."

Mu Zhou's hand holding the tea trembled slightly.

Just last night I said he was good at keeping his composure, and now he's come in such a high-profile manner.

It really doesn't stand up to being talked about.

Shen Huocang's name was known even to the Mu family in Ruancheng.

But the Mu family parents never expected that the other party was after their daughter.

Unaware of the other party's purpose, they all wore serious expressions.

Mu's father told Mu Zhou to go back to the backyard, and the two prepared to go out to greet him.

Mu Zhou thought for a moment, and finally said it:

"Mother, he might be looking for me."

The Mu family parents were stunned.

*

In the outer hall, Mu's parents sat in the seats of honor, looking at Shen Yucang sitting next to Mu Zhou with a hint of unease.

Everyone has heard of the title "Young Marshal".

Ruancheng was able to maintain a peaceful life not only because of its geographical location, but also because Shen's soldiers were brave and skilled in battle, maintaining peace in the region.

They never expected that this important person would come to their house today and treat them with such utmost respect, behaving like a junior.

Logically, he should be the one sitting in the seat of honor.

But as soon as he arrived, he consciously chose the lower seat next to his own daughter.

Although he seemed unapproachable and had a strong presence, he was strangely harmonious around his obedient daughter.

This bears absolutely no resemblance to the arrogant young marshal of legend.

Mu's mother gave Mu Zhou a questioning look, so Mu Zhou had no choice but to speak:

"Mother, I encountered some accidents in Anping. I was saved by the young marshal. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Mu's mother instinctively wanted to ask what had happened, but remembering that Shen Juncang, an outsider, was still there, she had to suppress her doubts and look at Mu's father.

Father Mu cleared his throat:

"I see. Thank you for your help to my daughter, young marshal. The Mu family has no way to repay you. If you ever need our help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

The old warlord and the young marshal could be considered local emperors. No matter how much money or anything else they offered, they probably wouldn't be interested. The Mu family could only make one promise.

However, it was clear that this was not what Shen Juncang wanted.

He spoke calmly and steadily:

"Uncle, you are too kind."

The word "Uncle" made Mu's father freeze instantly, and his lips trembled slightly.

Despite his advanced age, he suddenly fell silent in the face of Shen Yucang.

Shen Yucang, seemingly oblivious to their stiff expressions, continued:

"I am destined to marry Mu Zhou."

"I can promise that I will protect her peace and happiness for the rest of her life."

With each word Shen Yucang spoke, the expressions on Mu's parents' faces became more and more interesting.

After he finished speaking, Mu's mother, her breathing unsteady, had no choice but to look at Mu Zhou:

"Zhou'er, this..."

Mu Zhou sighed inwardly and met Shen Juncang's gaze.

She understood his persistence.

Shen Juncang's identity destined him to get whatever he wanted.

Even if she resisted, it was useless.

So she calmly said to her mother:

"Mother, we are in love with each other. I hope that you and Father can give us your blessing."

She took the initiative to admit that they were mutually in love, which made Shen Yucang's pupils tremble.

She finally stopped resisting and went along with his wishes, so he should have been overjoyed.

But looking at her calm profile, Shen Yucang felt a pang of heartache.
