Chapter 477

Zhongshan City had been garrisoned by the Xu family for generations. The Xu family was full of military generals and had good military management skills. It had always been popular in Zhongshan City and had a deep foundation with the city itself. It could be said that the city was the strongest among the three military towns. Xie Xuanchen had heard many stories about the Xu family before and had trust in their family's character. Now that Xie Xuanchen had to leave, putting Mu Mingtang in Zhongshan City was the safest way to make sure that she was unharmed.

Xie Xuanchen revised the book for Senior General Xu yesterday and personally sent Mu Mingtang to Zhongshan City today. After that, he would lead his men away tomorrow.

Senior General Xu knew that Mu Mingtang was coming, but he didn't expect it to be so soon. At this moment, the Xu family, all of the young and old, were standing at the city gate as they welcomed Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang into the city.

Xu Qilang had been looking forward to the royals' visit ever since he received the letter yesterday. Xie Xuanchen was famous and he had been curious for a long time about them. Little did he know that he was going to actually see them with his own eyes.

Mu Mingtang's carriage drove past the city gates and stopped at the second gate of the Xu family's residence. At this moment, the courtyard was full of people. When Mu Mingtang got out of the carriage, she was shocked by the sight in front of her.

She had long heard of the Xu family having many sons and relatives, but...were there ever this many?

Senior General Xu had 7 sons in total. The eldest son and the youngest son Qilang were twenty years apart. Now, except Xu Qilang, all the other brothers have married and have their own children. These married brothers gave birth to many nieces and nephews. Last year, even the oldest nephew got married.

The daughters-in-law and grandchildren stood together with their families, which made the formation rather amazing. When the daughters-in-law of the Xu family saw Mu Mingtang, they all gathered around to greet her out of curiosity.

"So this is Her Highness Princess An— she is indeed a beauty."

"I have admired Your Highness for a long time and I finally have the chance to see you in my life. Your Highness, you should stay at our house for a longer time!"

Mu Mingtang was shocked by this approach. Senior Madam Xu was worried that her daughters-in-law would scare Mu Mingtang, so she lightly tapped her cane. After the wives dispersed, Senior Madam Xu slowly walked over and smiled at Mu Mingtang, "They have been staying with us in these parts of town for a long time, so they are not that familiar with rules and etiquette. I hope Your Highness doesn't fault them for their enthusiasm."

Mu Mingtang recognized at a glance that this was Senior General Xu's wife, the Madam of the Xu family. She immediately tried to bow and greeted her as she was younger, "Senior Madam Xu, I have heard of your name for a long time. I'm afraid it is this junior who has disrupted Senior Madam Xu's life and caused trouble for you."

Senior Madam Xu quickly supported Mu Mingtang and uttered, "Your Highness, you shouldn't lower your head to me."
