Multitalented Witch

Chapter 328: Forcing Marriage

Mu Zhuoyun knew her daughter was unaware of the things that happened after she fell unconscious. He immediately told her what he knew.

“Huh, who would have thought the boy would sacrifice himself as bait to lure Razortail Drake out. In the end, Razortail Drake and Lu Nian ended up killing each other, while you were saved. Mo Jiaxin did come visit you a few days ago. I had consoled him, and offered him a high-paying job. Unfortunately, he turned down the offer, ” Mu Zhuoyun said with a hint of sadness.

Mu Zhuoyun had never been too fond of little bastard Mo Fan, but who knew he would sacrifice himself for his daughter. It really revised his point of view about him. He has asked his people to pay more attention to his family, as a way to express his gratitude.

"Is ... does he really die?" Mu Ningxue asked firmly.

“Mm, Zhan Kong himself said it. I don't think he'll lie. Don't get too emotional about it! To be honest, I didn't know she liked you so much, willing to sacrifice her life for you! If I knew! I wouldn't have treated him like that before! ah , forget it, ”take Mu Zhuoyun with a sigh.

Mu Ningxue hugged her knees while staring blankly out the window. She subconsciously recalled the words Mo Fan had said to her in the church.

Does he really mean what he says?

After all, he had no way of verifying it. Somehow those were his last words to her.

The last anticipation left in his heart was completely gone.

“Ningxue, you can't use the Ice Crystal Bow again for next year. Although I'd like to see you establish yourself in the great Mu Clan, I'm more likely to see you healthy and fit. Our little Mu Family is already in such bad condition that we have to live under the roof of the Clan here in the capital. If you fall, it will be the end for our family, ” Mu Zhuoyun said with a stern face.

"Mm, I'll be more careful," Mu Ningxue nodded. He was still busy with past memories that made him feel a little embarrassed.

Mu Zhuoyun stopped interrupting his rest. He understood that his daughter's mind was still busy with the boy who took her away from the giant cage …

””

Leaving the room, Mu Zhuoyun sunk onto the sofa and sighed deeply.

Just as he was about to start planning his next move, the butler led a young man with a silver necklace and a middle-aged man whose hair was combed back from his forehead from the entrance.

Both of them were dressed appropriately, with quite a number of accessories, including jade, pendants, and rings. It was hard to tell whether it was just decorations, or precious magic equipment.

“Why hello, Mr Zhou and You Hong. Xiao Ling, please bring me my best tea leaves.” Mu Zhuoyun got up and greeted them warmly.

"Don't worry about the tea, we're only here to visit Mu Ningxue because of his injury," said the middle-aged man by the surname Zhou.

“He is currently resting. Have seat. I want to talk to Mr. Zhou our business to get rare bones from all sources in the market. I am ready to present a proposal. Should we invite the president of the various auctions for a team meeting in the near future? Mu Zhuoyun asked with a smile.

“Aren't you supposed to ask the people from your Clan? Most auction and trade markets are marked with the surname Mu. I saw no reason to ask me that,” Zhou raised his eyebrows and said, pretending not to understand what he was hearing.

“Dad, you can't say that, you know that Uncle Zhuoyun here is in a pretty difficult position. We should help him as much as we can.”

"This .." Mu Zhuoyun put on an awkward face, not knowing how to respond.

Mu Zhuoyun disliked the feeling of asking people for help, but she had no choice. He has a big family he needs to take care of. Most family members are completely useless, and only know how to waste money. He had already told them many times that their status was not as comfortable as it used to be in Bo City, but his advice was completely in vain.

Zhou Youhong was running out of patience, seeing Mu Zhuoyun hesitating as usual. “Uncle Zhuoyun, you know that I am sincere towards Mu Ningxue. I believe we should continue our marriage as soon as possible, then we will have a reason to help you as best we can. We feel sorry for your family after what happened to Bo City, and we are aware that you are currently living under the roof of the Clan. They pretty much treat you all as outsiders."

“However, it will be very different after the wedding. You will be in direct contact with our Zhou Family, and the Mu Clan will be more friendly to you as a way to express their respect to us. I will give Mu Ningxue some expensive potions for her recovery, but our Patriarch has made it clear that it is not allowed as Mu Ningxue is still not one of the Zhou Family. Moreover, without the support of our Zhou Family, the advantage Mu Ningxue had due to his talent would soon be irrelevant to the other geniuses at Imperial College. ”

Zhou Youhong had no intention of dragging any further. Since she was already engaged to him, she would rather finish it as soon as possible.

Mu Ningxue's extraordinary physique, delicate complexion, and glamorous face .. Zhou Youhong had long craved it. Knowing that he would get it after the wedding was over, he tried harder to persuade Mu Zhuoyun.

"Yes ... about this ..." Mu Zhuoyun was unable to make up his mind. He clearly knew that with the marriage, his family that was on the verge of bankruptcy would finally have any hope of recovering.

But!

When he remembered that Mo Fan had just saved Mu Ningxue's life, if he approved of the marriage now, he would feel guilty towards the dead child.

“Why don't we decide this later? Mu Ningxue is still very weak, I don't want her to be bullied by him!” mu Zhuoyun said.

“To be exact, we must continue the marriage to rid it of its recent bad luck.” Zhou said impatiently.

“It's okay, his well-being is more important. If that is the case, we will let Mu Ningxue rest well. We will come visit him again.” Zhou Youhong knew that there was no need to push any further. It wouldn't look good if he forced an injured woman still lying in bed to marry him.

It was only a matter of time until he claimed that beauty as his own!

“Please forgive us. As for the auction, you have to make your own plans. ” Zhou said frankly.

Zhou Youhong still showed his decency as a potential son-in-law by saying goodbye before leaving.

Mu Zhuoyun sighed deeply, watching the figures of the father and son of the Zhou Family leave.

Family, Clan, and Home are three very different levels.

The Mu Mu Zhuoyun family in charge was only a small emperor who controlled Bo City. In the eyes of the original Mu Clan, they were like insignificant family members who had been exiled to a small town in the south.

Now that Bo City was gone, Mu Zhuoyun was forced to bring the half-destroyed Mu Family back to the capital. However, other than Mu Ningxue, who was still able to earn the respect of the ancient Ice Element House Mu due to his outstanding talent among the people in his age group, he had been able to earn the respect of the ancient Ice Elemental House, Mu Zhuoyun and Mu He were like higher servants who were obliged to listen to the orders of other families.

They were considered quite old, and their cultivation could no longer increase any further. As a result, they had no chance to expand their power and circle of influence. They can only put their hope in the younger generation. Otherwise, they would never be able to raise their heads as long as they were surnamed Mu.
