After arriving in the courtyard.

Xiao Yu knelt on a prayer mat, looking at the eighteen lacquered coffins, his heart filled with complex emotions.

As a military doctor, he deeply respected the martyrs of the Xiao Prince's Mansion who died on the battlefield, but felt even more regret...

“My youngest cousin is not yet fourteen years old. If it were peacetime, he should be in school.”

Xiao Yu gently stroked the coffin and swore, "Father, Uncle... brothers, cousins, rest in peace."

"I will take good care of my mother and everyone in the Xiao Prince's Mansion! I will use all my knowledge to bring the Xiao Prince's Mansion to a new peak, so that no one will dare to underestimate our Xiao Prince's Mansion!"

...

The next morning.

Shen Youyu came to Xiao Yu's side and said softly, "Shi Lang, let's have breakfast first."

Shen Youyu had changed into a light-colored dress with a light-colored belt around her waist, which accentuated her slender waist beautifully.

She wasn't wearing any makeup, and even with her bare face, Xiao Yu couldn't help but take a second look... Tsk tsk, so beautiful!

"oh."

Xiao Yu slowly got up and then asked, "How did you sleep last night?"

"very good."

Shen Youyu's voice was gentle, and her pretty face had a hint of shyness that was hard to detect. In fact, she went to bed very late, and had been thinking about the poem that Xiao Yu had given her.

Her beautiful eyes secretly glanced at Xiao Yu a few times, and she couldn't help but ask, "Does Shi Lang usually have the habit of composing poetry?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "No."

"oh."

Shen Youyu nodded gently, but she wasn't disappointed.

She thought about it for a long time last night and guessed that Xiao Yu must have been blessed by God, and that inspiration struck him, which is why he wrote such a masterpiece.

The two of them finished breakfast together.

Xiao Yu went to retrieve the Dragon Gall Spear, intending to practice in the backyard and test just how powerful the so-called Grandmaster really was.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Liu Aoxue.

"Juro."

Liu Aoxue was straightforward and didn't like to waste words. She said directly, "After I went back yesterday, I told my father about the Chu family's annulment of the engagement... When my father found out about this, he was furious and expelled Chu Tianyou from the martial arts academy!"

Xiao Yu knew that Liu Aoxue was doing this for him, and said gratefully, "Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

Liu Aoxue waved her hand and said, "From now on, we're family, so there's no need to be so polite with each other."

Uh... you're quite carefree and direct!

Xiao Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, Xiao Yu quite liked Liu Aoxue's personality; she was lively, straightforward, hated evil, and knew how to care for others.

Moreover, Liu Aoxue is also very beautiful. Not only is her appearance no less than Chu Tianjiao's, but her status and background are also many times better than Chu Tianjiao's!

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you."

Xiao Yu grinned, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "You...you said your father wasn't angry about marrying me?"

Yesterday, the four women announced their intention to marry Xiao Yu, shocking everyone for quite some time.

However, upon closer examination, this matter is not so easy.

In this era, marriage is a major life event decided by parents. Shen Youyu has no parents, so she can directly choose Xiao Yu, but Liu Aoxue and Murong Xian cannot!

"I haven't figured out how to say it yet..."

Thinking about all this, Liu Aoxue also had a headache, so she simply stopped thinking about it: "But don't worry, I, Liu Aoxue, mean what I say. I will make my own decisions about my marriage!"

"Well!"

Xiao Yu nodded helplessly, thinking to himself, "It really isn't that easy."

Just then, a loud crash came from the direction of the Xiao Prince's Mansion gate, the sound of the gate being kicked open.

Then, a familiar voice rang out: "Is Xiao Yu home? Come out, let me give you a good beating!"

Xiao Yu was very familiar with this voice; it belonged to Chu Tianjiao's younger brother, Chu Tianyou!

"It seems he's quite resentful about being expelled from the martial arts academy."

Xiao Yu snorted coldly, picked up the Dragon Gallant Spear, and walked towards the door.

"How dare you cause trouble at Prince Xiao's residence!"

Liu Aoxue raised her eyebrows, a cold glint in her eyes, and said, "This young lady will teach him a lesson!"

After saying that, he followed behind Xiao Yu.

Shen Youyu, who was originally standing at the door of the room, quickly followed after seeing this scene.

"Xiao Yu!"

Chu Tianyou kicked open the gate of the Xiao Prince's Mansion, took a few steps, and saw Xiao Yu. He roared angrily, "I didn't expect you, you fool, to be so cunning! My sister broke off your engagement with you, and you couldn't do anything about it, so you used tricks to get me expelled from the Martial Academy. Let's see how I teach you a lesson today!"

"Chu Tianyou, your talent is mediocre. The reason you were able to enter the Martial Academy is because of my Xiao Wang Mansion."

Xiao Yu looked at him with pity for someone mentally challenged and said, "Now that your sister has come to annul the engagement, isn't it perfectly normal for the Martial Academy to expel you? If you're so capable, don't rely on the Xiao Royal Mansion, and get into the Martial Academy on your own!"

"good."

Behind her, Liu Aoxue walked a few steps to Xiao Yu's side and said coldly, "Chu Tianyou, your aptitude and martial arts performance are at the bottom of the martial arts academy. If it weren't for the Xiao Prince's Mansion, you would have been expelled long ago. Where do you get the nerve to cause trouble at the Xiao Prince's Mansion?"

"Liu Aoxue..."

Seeing Liu Aoxue appear, Chu Tianyou became even more certain of his thoughts and gritted his teeth, saying, "Just as I thought! Xiao Yu, it was you who begged Liu Aoxue for help to get me expelled from the Martial Academy! You, a scoundrel who only knows how to cause trouble in secret, deserve to be dumped by my sister! Today, I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

"It's still uncertain who will teach whom a lesson."
