Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 545: The Republic of China, the Marshal's Gentle Cousin 14

"Does this mean that if I want to go out, I have to tell my cousin?"

Miaomiao scratched her head. The wife of the Marshal's Mansion was not very idle either, and she rarely saw her cousin.

"If the young lady wants to go out, these two maids can accompany her.

They grew up in South City and are very familiar with the roads in the city.

However, if the lady wants to go out, it is better to tell the young marshal for safety reasons.

Or, I can help the young lady contact the young marshal."

The housekeeper sighed slightly in his heart, not knowing what had attracted the young marshal's attention to his wife's cousin, who even mentioned the security in South City several times.

I guess someone is targeting the lady's cousin, which is why this happened.

At least the housekeeper at this time would not think that it was because the young master had a crush on Miaomiao. After all, this was too unbelievable for the young marshal who was almost more docile than a monk.

"In that case, could you please tell the young commander on my behalf? I'd like to go out and visit the school here tomorrow."

Miaomiao was not the type to be roundabout, so she spoke directly.

After the housekeeper left, Miaomiao looked at the two maids and thought to herself that with their company, her plan to go to the vicinity of the school to look for Teacher Sun might be successfully implemented.

It was not until after dinner that Miaomiao gradually became familiar with the two new maids, Aqiao and Aling, in the room.

Aqiao is lively and always has a lot to say, while Aling is relatively calm and does things in a meticulous and thoughtful manner.

From their conversation, Miaomiao also learned more about the streets and customs of South City.

As they were talking, the housekeeper came to Miaomiao's residence again and bowed slightly.

"Miss, the young marshal is calling. Please go to the main building to answer the phone."

Telephones are a rare thing these days, and since the small building is vacant most of the time, there is no telephone installed.

Telephones were only installed in the main building and the security room of the Marshal's Mansion because of remote needs.

Miaomiao is in the small building, so if she wants to answer the phone, she has to walk a long way to the main building to make the call.

Aqiao put a coat on Miaomiao, and then Miaomiao followed the housekeeper to the main building.

Along the way, she couldn't guess why Mu Yuanzhao wanted to contact her.

Whether to agree or refuse, do you have to call to explain in detail?

Miaomiao didn't know that Mu Yuanzhao really came to her for this little matter.

Even though he had fought several matches with several people in the military camp and consumed a lot of energy, when he thought of Miaomiao, he was still full of strength and his longing had nowhere to hide.

Even the second before the housekeeper called to ask, he was still thinking about what she was doing, what reason he would have to listen to her voice, and whether she would remember him for a moment...

Miaomiao walked into the reception room of the main building and found that the second and third concubines were not there. Mu Yuanze seemed to have gone out with the eldest lady, and the room was somewhat lonely.

The butler handed the phone to Miaomiao and stepped aside.

"Hello, I'm Xu Miaomiao."

After Miaomiao picked up the phone, she heard that it was so quiet on the other end that only the sound of breathing could be heard. She almost thought that no one was there, so she could only subconsciously introduce herself.

"Miao Miao, I heard from the housekeeper that you want to go to the school tomorrow?"

Mu Yuanzhao's voice came from the receiver, with a hint of hoarseness, yet inexplicably gentle.

When Miaomiao heard Mu Yuanzhao calling her name through the phone, she subconsciously shuddered, and a chill ran from her head to the soles of her feet.

"Yeah, okay?"

Mu Yuanzhao's words made her feel that the generations were reversed. She even had a vague feeling that the person in front of her was her father, and that he was being too nosy.

Although she is not a real cousin, it does sound a bit weird to call her by her name now.

“Of course you can.

If you really want to go, Miaomiao, I will ask the housekeeper to arrange someone for you.

But it’s better not to act alone for the time being. You should also bring your maid with you and go early and come back early.

It’s not because of anything else, it’s just because you are a new face in South City.

And now there are enemy spies infiltrating South City, I'm afraid they will do something bad to you."

Mu Yuanzhao tried his best to suppress his inner thoughts and pretended to be calm, coaxing the little girl not to stray too far from the Marshal's Mansion.

But no matter how gentle the voice is, the actions can reveal the darkness in someone's heart.

Mu Yuanzhao's eyes unconsciously showed pampering and paranoia, and the hand holding the receiver trembled slightly because of Miaomiao's voice.

The reason why Miaomiao felt strange was that Mu Yuanzhao had been using a coaxing tone since the first sentence he said after answering the phone.

It was as if he treated Miaomiao on the other end of the phone as a three-year-old girl who needed to be coaxed into behaving well.

"Okay, I get it.

Thank you, nephew."

Miaomiao paused for two seconds, then couldn't help getting goosebumps all over her body. She finally said "nephew" and ended the conversation hastily.

I don't mean anything else, it's just that this term of address from elder to younger feels inexplicably useful at this moment.

As for Mu Yuanzhao asking her to call him Yuanzhao, Miaomiao felt that it was too intimate and she really couldn't call him that over the phone.

My eldest nephew is nice and approachable, and we can maintain a proper distance between each other...

Frankly speaking, Miaomiao didn't know why she acted like this. She even hung up the phone right after she finished speaking.

But it was true that the last sentence made her feel refreshed.

Mu Yuanzhao, who was on the other end of the phone, felt a pang in his chest when Miaomiao called him "nephew". He was still a little dazed until the other party hung up the phone.

He didn't want to be the nameless nephew, he wanted to be the only one in her heart and eyes...

But why go to school?

Is there anyone who has caught Miaomiao's attention?

Or, when he had just arranged a limited number of personnel, someone arranged a blind date for Miaomiao behind his back?

Mu Yuanzhao didn't like these thoughts that made him lose his mind and wanted to break his enemy's neck.

He had asked his mother before, and Miaomiao was a relatively well-behaved girl. She was so well-behaved that except for occasionally going to the bookstore in South City, she almost never went out.

Fortunately, the two female guards sent today are here, so he can get the news directly and firsthand about many things without going through the housekeeper, the second concubine, or even other people.

The female guards had a special message channel, and even telegrams could be encrypted and sent directly to him.

So, soon he would know what made Miaomiao think of going to school.

Unfortunately, the phone was hung up too quickly. Although Mu Yuanzhao knew that this was right, he still felt reluctant.

Of course, Miaomiao had no idea about someone's almost perverted thoughts. She even felt comfortable all over and was not afraid at all.

So much so that Miaomiao completely forgot about her nephew on the other end of the phone as soon as she walked out of the main building.
