Rebirth Of The General's Granddaughter-Chapter 130 - Taizi’s Sinister Intentions

Zi You guessed correctly. Taizi found out that De Fei summoned her into the Palace and deliberately went to intercept her.

When Zi You was injured, he went to the General’s Manor and begged Old General Mu to see her. Old General Mu refused. Later on, his marriage proposal was turned down and he was even less likely to see Zi You.

For this reason, he proposed to marry Zi You as cefei to the Emperor. His Fuwang didn’t hesitate for a moment and directly refused him.

Plus, he was especially angry. His words were also extremely harsh, “What? You already have two cefeis, but now you want to add another cefei? Mu Zi You, Old General Mu’s precious granddaughter? Haha…… Your appetite is not small. Tell Zhen which other official’s daughter you want to marry. You want to seize political and military power already?”

At that time, Taizi was scared into breaking out in a cold sweat. He repeatedly kowtowed. “Fuwang, Erchen doesn’t dare. Erchen really just admires You’er’s talent. Also, towards Erchen, You’er is…… Erchen begs Fuwang for your grace!”

“Scram.” The Emperor’s face turned livid at his words.

His expression was as if he just caught his consort in an adulterous situation and was splendidly cuckolded.

That expression seemed as if he wanted to kill someone.

Taizi ran away in fear to the Empress’. He told this matter to the Empress and she not only did not sympathize with him and tried to come up with a plan for him, but she fiercely slapped him. “Who let you go to your Fuwang to propose marrying Mu Zi You as cefei? You don’t want to be Taizi anymore? Or do you think that your life is too long and don’t want to live anymore?

“Your Fuwang is originally suspicious. He doesn’t even trust his own biological brother. Who is Old General Mu? He is a spear that is used against your imperial uncle. Now, you actually dare to covet his spear. Are you not afraid that you will lose your life?”

Taizi did indeed have the intentions to seize the spear, but he wanted Mu Zi You more.

Since the time that Zi You humiliated Shangguan Lingluo and showcased her talent, Taizi had been enchanted.

After all, it was rare to find a brave woman with unmatched appearance and unmatched talent.

Not to mention, after he went to the General’s Manor to investigate, Darong Ka told him, “Taizi Ye, Nucai is certain that Mu Zi You has spiritual power. It’s just that her spiritual power isn’t very strong right now or Nucai will not be her opponent. The strange thing is that Nucai met an opponent who was stronger than she is in her fu. Nucai did not see his face before Nucai lost to him.”

Zi You had spiritual power and a powerful helper. Taizi immediately thought of Zi You’s mother: that mysterious foreigner Dier.

Since Dier came to the capital, she had always stayed in the General’s Manor. She did not participate in any high society events. Besides that, as a foreign woman, even if she was a heavenly beauty, she had to have some ability. Otherwise, why would Old General Mu tell his Fuwang, “She saved YingYi, who was bitten by a poisonous snake and has nowhere to go. So Chen brought her back. After all, she is the savior of Chen’s son. How can Chen let her wander outside alone?”

However, if she had nowhere to go, then that meant that she had no family. So why after her death, did Old General Mu placed her body in a coffin and sent her to be buried in Nanjiang and not in the Mu family’s ancestral graveyard?

After all, Taizi was not a fool. Once he thought of this, he was more certain that Zi You was like Dier, who had some magical power.

That was because Mu family’s army was extremely loyal. No matter how Taizi bribed, he could not obtain any useful information. Later, he obtained with difficulty from a low soldier this news: “Our Furen is not an ordinary woman. She had been deep in the mountains and jungles.

“Poisonous snakes were thicker than our waist and could kill people with one drop of their poison. Even we were afraid of death and frightened looking at them. But our Furen played with them like toys. Those poisonous animals, especially, were scared just looking at her.”

If Zi You had the same ability as her mother and she became his woman, would Taizi worry about not obtaining the throne?

Thus, Taizi held a determination to obtain Zi You. For this, he had begged the Empress to summon Zi You into the Palace, but the Empress vehemently refused. “You have not ascertained that she has the same power as her mother. Even if she does, do you think it’s worth it to offend your Fuwang for her? I guess that your Fuwang wants to make her a consort. That way, he can tightly control Old General Mu.”

Taizi heard that his old father wanted to be an old bull eating tender grass and was even more dissatisfied towards him.

You have so many women in your harem that you can’t even play with them all. For your favor, those women bribe the eunuchs to put their green tablets on top.* Aren’t you afraid you will be oversexed and wilt early?

[TL Note: How Emperors select who serves them in bed that night.]

Of course, he could only think these words black belly. He would never dare to say them out loud.

Out of desperation, he decided to block Zi You in front of the Palace gate. He deliberately showed such an expression and said such ambiguous words.

There was only one purpose. He wanted to twist the truth and made it a fait accompli. He wanted to force Old General Mu to marry Zi You to him.

Taizi calculated well, but Zi You saw through him. She broke his plot with a few words.

Taizi rarely saw Zi You smile. He saw her slightly smile when the butterflies and small birds surrounded her. That smile was filled with confidence and wisdom, dazzling his eyes and striking his heart.

Her smile today was different from that day. It was a bit mischievous and lovable, and had a hint of blame. It made her seem less cold and made her more beautiful and her eyebrows more vivid.

Taizi stared foolishly, as Zi You was stepping out of the Palace gate.

“You’er.” Taizi reacted and was a bit anxious. He immediately chased her. “You’er, don’t leave. You haven’t answered me yet. Wait……”

Zi You was a blue-blooded xiaojie of the boudoir. In public, she could not run or use her qinggong, so Taizi soon caught up to her. He once again blocked her. “Don’t leave, You’er. I still have matters with you……”

“I was wondering who it was, so it’s this nuisance.” Before Taizi finished speaking, Shangguan LingRan suddenly came out from somewhere.

Seeing Taizi blocking Zi You, he hated that he couldn’t take out his Silver Moon Hook and cleave Taizi in half.

He held back his anger and went over to held Taizi back. He deliberately glared viciously at Zi You. “Taizi gege, why are you paying attention to this ugly person? Did you forget that she made Lingluo meimei lose her waistband, tear her dress, and make a fool of herself? Let’s go. Let’s go. Let’s find Lingluo meimei to play.”

He pulled Taizi away. No matter how much Taizi struggled, he could not break free and was really pulled away by him.

Zi You knew that Shangguan LingRan must have received the news and hurried over to help her.

A warm feeling unconsciously rose in her heart. Zi You looked angrily at the two’s departing backs. She lightly scolded, “Dandy.” Then she stomped her feet and walked out of the Palace gate.

Zi You did not return home, but went to Duke Anguo fu. During this period of time, rumors of her and Taizi were spread. She didn’t know whether Xue jiejie would misunderstand.

She didn’t want to ruin her and Liu Ruixue’s friendship because of a sanctimonious hypocrite like Taizi.

Moreover, she and him had nothing improper going on. The rumors were created by him because he had sinister motives. Should she tell Xue jiejie about that beast’s true face?

It was really difficult to decide. If she told her, wouldn’t that add to Liu Ruixue’s troubles? But if Zi You didn’t tell her, then wasn’t that harming her?

After Zi You knew about Taizi and Shangguan Lingluo’s scandal, she was really in a dilemma. She wanted to tell her aunt, but she was afraid that her aunt would ask her how she knew such a secretive matter. How could she reply then? Tell her that she and Shangguan LingRan scouted out Taizi fu and that she personally witnessed it? Wouldn’t that scare her aunt to death?

She also could not tell Old General Mu. If he knew that she did such a dangerous thing, he would certainly ground her and never let her set foot outside the house again.

Zi You thought and decided to test Liu Ruixue first. If she really liked Taizi and wholeheartedly wanted to marry him, then Zi You wouldn’t say anything.

When she married him, Zi You would do her best to lessen the hurt that Taizi would cause her.

But if Liu Ruixue did not want to marry Taizi, then Zi You would tell her the whole truth and help her think of a way to leave Taizi.

Zi You made up her mind and arrived at Duke Anguo fu. She handed an invitation card over and Liu Ruixue personally came out shortly to meet her. She was very happy to Zi You, but said worriedly, “I was just thinking that I have to visit you one of these days and you’ve come. How are you? Are your injuries healed? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?”

Zi You pulled her hand and smiled as she hurriedly shook her head. “Don’t worry, Xue jiejie. You’re about to get married in half a year. Is your dowry prepared? Is your wedding gown finished?”

Liu Ruixue’s face turned red and she shook her head worriedly. She forced out a smile. “What is there to prepare? I will just be a cefei. It’s said to be a consort, but how is it really different than a small concubine? Not to mention……”

Liu Ruixue changed the topic. If she had any fantasy towards the outstanding and elegant Taizi before, she was disappointed in him, now that she had seen his schemes to marry Zi You at all cost.

Zi You looked at her expression and didn’t say anymore. She was in a dilemma once again. Should she tell her about Taizi and Shangguan Lingluo?
