After a long while, Mu Lan opened her mouth. "You care about her so much that you cannot appoint bodyguards for her?"

Mu Liang replied, "I did appoint some bodyguards. But mother doesn't wish to be guarded. She wants to be free from us. But I still let the bodyguards follow her every move secretly."

Mu Lan's tone became softer. "That's not your fault."

Mu Liang knew that too. "However, it's not a good feeling."

She questioned, "If she agrees, it won't be a problem, right?"
