Chapter 36.2
Chapter 36 Her Wish [2], Part 2
Old General Mu did not tell Zi You’s aspirations to his oldest son [Zi You’s father], but he did tell them to his younger son and his wife . The three were happy and proud of her .
They were getting more and more disappointed towards MuYingRui and Wang Yiping . Today was the first time Zi You went out without adult supervision for a whole day . The two were not concerned and did not show concern . They didn’t even look at Zi You once since she came back awhile ago .
Mu YingYi’s two sons, seven-year-old Mu QingHeng and four-year-old Mu QingYuan, seeing jiejie [older sister, can be used to denote familiarity] return from the market, circled around her . Trying to curry favor, they said, “Jiejie, we saved you a moon cake . It’s very delicious . ”

Zi You took out the dough figures, wooden swords and wooden boat she bought at the market for the two rascals . She lovingly patted their little heads . She said to Née Liu, “Aunt, let Heng’er and Yuan’er follow me to learn martial arts . I know you don’t want them to follow grandfather and uncle’s military path . But martial arts can strengthen one’s body and willpower . Even if our Mu family’s descendants are only civil servants, they would still have the blood of soldiers and a strong iron physique . ”
Zi You’s words once again got Old General Mu excited . He looked proudly at his granddaughter and nodded approvingly . “You can say such words; you are worthy of being this old man’s granddaughter!”
Née Liu was always worried about her husband setting off on war campaigns . No matter what Mu YingYi said, she would not let her two sons learn martial arts . Now listening to Zi You’s words, she pondered for awhile and readily agreed . “Okay, aunt will listen to You’er . Aunt will support the things You’er believes in . ”
