Chapter 534 The Republic-era Miss Who Admitted Her Mistake to Her Arranged Marriage (5)
Xu Yicheng guessed that they must have secretly pledged their lives to each other.
After all, Shen Qucang is not someone who plays by the rules.
Although he doesn't appear to be the arrogant, domineering, and disdainful son of a military family, his inherent pride is undeniable.
He didn't care what the old warlord thought.
Shen Juncang ignored him and walked towards the campus.
After they left, several male students at the breakfast stall almost couldn't help but scream.
They inadvertently learned the young marshal's secret.
The boy who had spoken to Mu Zhou earlier felt both regret that he and the pretty girl had no chance anymore, and relief that he hadn't overstepped his bounds.
Otherwise, if he were to compete with the young marshal for a woman, would he even want to live?

Mu Zhou ran to another street in one breath and boarded the tram, panting heavily.
That box of gold and silver jewelry was her most treasured possession.
However, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; you still have to give it.
As for Shen Congjun and Wen Yuzhi...
Not urgent.
Once she forcibly accepts Shen Huocang's identity, the mission will proceed much more smoothly.
The original owner's wish was for all the murderers who killed her to pay the price. Of course, Shen Congjun and the Wen siblings were among those she wanted to settle scores with.
Mu Zhou returned to the hotel feeling relaxed, only to be promptly kicked out that very night.
It's because she doesn't have enough money to live in such a luxurious place anymore.
She carried her luggage to another hotel and didn't settle down until midnight.
She found a job the next day.
A calligraphy teacher at a charity center in a small alley.
This charity hall is sponsored by some members of the Chamber of Commerce and is specifically designed to provide a place for children from poor families who cannot attend school to learn.
Although Mu Zhou did not have a diploma, he had excellent calligraphy skills.
So he became a calligraphy teacher.
The teachers here are paid very little, but they do provide dormitories and meals, which saves her money and allows her to at least survive.
Mu Zhou moved into the dormitory that same day.
At noon, she sat in the small house to eat.
This is a simple canteen where teachers and children eat together from a large pot.
For Mu Zhou, who was used to eating delicacies, the vegetarian dishes in front of him, which were so bland that they didn't have a trace of oil, were a special experience.
It wasn't that delicious, but it was acceptable.
She ate calmly and elegantly.
She caught a glimpse of a student looking at her out of the corner of her eye, and tilted her head in confusion.
The students at Aixintang are of all ages, with some being several years apart. The student staring intently at her was already twelve years old.
Her name is Chen Amei. She usually sells newspapers to earn some money, and she comes here to learn to read whenever she has time.
When she saw Mu Zhou looking over, she touched her forehead shyly.
"Teacher Mu, you look so beautiful when you eat."
The new teacher, Ms. Mu, not only looks like a fairy, but every move she makes is also very special.
Chen Amei couldn't quite put her finger on it, but she just felt that the way she ate was different from others, and it looked especially beautiful.
In her presence, Chen Amei didn't even dare to make a sound while drinking her porridge.
The child's praise made Mu Zhou smile involuntarily.
"Thank you, you're very cute too."
She patted the little girl's head and continued eating.
Chen Amei also rubbed her head against the one Mu Zhou had touched, and happily filled another bowl with rice.

Shen Yucang understood what had happened in just one night.
Anping was practically their domain, and nothing that happened there could escape their notice.
So, he knew all about Mu Zhou and Shen Congjun's wedding ceremony being interrupted halfway through, her running away from home to find Anping, her inability to find her fiancé because he had changed his name, her guesses from the conversation of military academy students at the next table at the breakfast stall, and her eventual mistake for someone else.
Listening to the guard's report, Shen Yucang's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
It turns out, it was a story of chasing after her husband for thousands of miles, but mistaking him for someone else.
The reason she couldn't find anyone at school was indeed because her fiancé had changed his name.
But she only guessed half right.
Shen Zhecang looked at the wooden box on the table and gave a cryptic smile.
She mistook him for someone else and gave him all her savings, almost ending up on the streets.
I don't know whether to call her naive or too honest.
Is it really worth it for a man whose face you don't even know?
Shen Yucang stared intently at the wooden box for a long time before picking up one of the bracelets.
He casually raised it towards the overhead light.
The emerald green color is clear and warm under the light, without a trace of impurity.
Mu Zhou's fair and classically handsome face, which shone brightly when he smiled, appeared in his mind.
Her temperament is similar.
Such a bracelet would suit her very well if she wore it on her wrist.
He put the bracelet back, closed the box, and said in a cold tone:
"You mean, she's living in the Love and Care Hall's dormitory now?"
"Yes, young marshal."
A few seconds later, Shen Huocang spoke again:
"Prepare the car."

Although Mu Zhou is only a calligraphy teacher, she also teaches arithmetic because the teaching staff at Aixintang is too poor.
Although Mu Zhou never went to school, her family hired a private tutor for her.
She knew all of these arithmetic and similar skills.
By four o'clock, most of the children had stopped attending classes.
At this time, they need to go home to cook for their parents.
Although they were still young children, children from poor families matured early, and they could only squeeze in time to study on weekdays.
After seeing all the children off, Mu Zhou returned to his dormitory.
She closed the door and untied the ties of her coat.
The inner strapless bra is light pink, very simple and elegant.
She rolled up the hem of her strapless top, revealing her striking waistline.
Mu Zhou twisted his head and glanced with difficulty at his lower back.
There is a slight bluish-purple tinge near the waist.
She bumped into something while helping other teachers move vegetable baskets during the day.
She was too embarrassed to tell anyone she was injured at the time, and just waited until get out of class ended to go back to her dorm and apply some medicine.
She poured the liniment for bruises and sprains she had brought into her palm and rubbed it on her lower back.
The slight pain made her gasp for breath.
Her delicate and beautiful appearance is full of a sense of fragility.
As if guided by something, she suddenly looked up at the window.
There is a noticeable gap at the edge of the torn window paper.
There were people standing outside.
Mu Zhou was instantly frightened. She hurriedly put on her clothes, then angrily opened the door and stormed out.
Who's spying on us in broad daylight!
But the people outside were surprised.
"You've come to find me."
There was a clear hint of surprise in her voice.
That's right, the person outside is Shen Huocang.
He had originally planned to have someone return the items to Mu Zhou, but thinking of her silly and foolish appearance, he decided it would be better for him to come in person.
So that she wouldn't assume that she was Shen Congjun and then find excuses not to acknowledge her.
He found his dormitory, and before he even reached the door, his gaze casually swept across the room and caught a fleeting, alluring glimpse.
A moment of hesitation prevented him from immediately knocking on the door to warn the culprit.
As a result, Mu Zhou caught him red-handed.
Meeting Mu Zhou's embarrassed and angry gaze, his expression remained unchanged, but his pupils couldn't help but tremble.
However, Mu Zhou's expression changed very quickly.
The next moment, her anger vanished, and she happily walked to his side.
