Chapter 1009 Anything Can Be Dreamed Of

The good news is that, thanks to Qi Heng's crackdown, most of the remaining members of the Wei family have been arrested. The bad news is that most of the women have been sent to Sishui City, making their rescue extremely difficult.

Qiaoyun, the daughter of Old Lady Qian, is in critical condition. Lin Yuesha feels deeply guilty, but Old Lady Qian, on the other hand, remains optimistic.

The person hasn't been found, but at least their body hasn't been brought in, so there's still a glimmer of hope, and she's willing to wait.

Lin Yuesha was deeply moved. In fact, parents don't ask their children to be outstanding; they just want them to be safe and well.

"Yes, now I'm going to be a mother, and I just hope that my baby can grow up safely."

The sharpness that Uya once possessed vanished, replaced by a gentler demeanor. Her heart softened further after she became pregnant.

"If I have a son, I don't want him to learn martial arts."

Uya expressed her concerns, saying that as a mother herself, she couldn't do what her mother-in-law, Madam Xu, did—personally send her son to the battlefield.

Uya only wanted him to study and learn to write; as long as he wasn't a spoiled brat who spent his days walking birds and frequenting brothels, she was fine with him.

“Sister-in-law, learning martial arts is for self-protection. Whether or not you go to the battlefield in the future, as a member of the Xu family, you must have the ability to protect yourself.”

Even before the baby was born, Wuya was already extremely reluctant to part with him.

Lin Yuesha expressed her opinion that if she has children in the future, she will teach them how to protect themselves and give them more freedom.

Because children will eventually get married and can't stay with their parents forever; that's unrealistic.

"I just want to walk a part of the road with the children and grow together, that's enough."

Principles must not be broken, and etiquette, rules, and principles of conduct must be understood. As for her children, they have their own choices, and Lin Yuesha will guide them rather than interfere.

"What if she's a girl, and she gets tricked by a heartless scumbag?"

Uya started to worry again. She hadn't given birth yet, and she was filled with anxiety and fear, thinking about things more than before.

"Therefore, force is very important."

Knowing martial arts can at least protect oneself and prevent the possibility of domestic violence.

If you encounter a scumbag, don't hesitate, just beat him until he can't take care of himself.

Take action instead of talking; solve problems simply and directly.

"Cousin, I've thought about it, and what you said makes sense."

The couple had previously discussed this, and Xu Da had proposed that he wanted to raise a daughter who was proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, to make up for his regrets.

Xu Da had no sisters; his only wife was Madam Xu. Needless to say, his mother was completely ignorant of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

When he was a child, Xu Da followed his mother around and went to the martial arts training ground most often.

He'd had enough. He needed a sensible, well-mannered, and refined young lady to raise and make her the pride of the Xu family.

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the only solution is for my cousin to get more sleep."

Lin Yuesha clicked her tongue. She had heard Madam Xu dig deep into the Xu family's three generations and found that not a single lady from a prominent family had ever emerged from their lineage. Considering Xu Da and Wu Ya's genes, Lin Yuesha could only advise the two of them to give up.

Unexpectedly, Wuya blushed immediately upon hearing this, lowered her head, and said, "Cousin, are you saying that my husband and I should have more sex and have several daughters, and that one of them will eventually be raised to be successful, right?"

When the topic of marriage comes up, Uya still can't help but feel shy.

Lin Yuesha was a little embarrassed, and explained, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I just wanted to tell my cousin to sleep more, so he can have all sorts of dreams."

"You're something else!"

Uya moved closer to Lin Yuesha and tickled her, but Lin Yuesha dodged left and right and shouted, "I won't argue with a pregnant woman. After you give birth, we'll have a big battle!"

Lin Yuesha is talented; she is a good equestrian, and Wuya especially enjoys racing horses with her.

The group set off before dawn to offer incense at Yutan Temple, and arrived at the temple just after Chenshi (7-9 AM).

With the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the temple is open every day, and worshippers flock to it.

"Sister-in-law, let's go up the stone platform on the other side; there are fewer people there."

Lin Yuesha was very familiar with Yutan Temple.

There is another path behind Yutan Temple. If you take this shortcut up the mountain, you can go directly to the fortune-telling area and find the old monk.

On the mountain path leading to Yutan Temple, there is a platform where you can rest temporarily.

Xu Da suggested that they take a break at the platform and let Wuya have some water.

When the group arrived at the platform, they found that someone had already set up a small shed with tarpaulin, and two maids were guarding outside.

"Our young lady is resting here. Please move over."

The maid standing at the door looked arrogant and told them to leave, hoping they would stay away and not offend her young mistress.

"Why should this be your territory?"

Xu Da was unwilling to argue with the woman, but her extremely poor attitude immediately ignited his temper.

If this were in the capital, he and his men would have scolded this little girl until she cried several times over.

"never mind."

Uya shook her head. She was in a hurry to draw a fortune stick, so she could just take a sip of water; there was no need to cause trouble.

Sometimes, her forbearance stems from her genuine disdain for arguing with the other party.

Xu Da kept a straight face and was still unwilling to back down. He couldn't stand such a domineering person. If it came to domineering, was there anyone who could beat him?

A mere little girl, yet she acts with more pomp and circumstance than the Empress; she has no sense of propriety whatsoever.

Xu Da was about to speak again when the tarpaulin curtain was lifted, and a gentle-looking young lady emerged from inside.

"Young General Qi?"

The young lady ignored everyone else, her eyes glued to Qi Heng, and exclaimed with ecstasy.

Her lips parted slightly, her cheeks flushed, and she cupped her hands over her heart, carefully examining it.

Xu Da immediately shut up, then looked at Qi Heng with an expression of anticipation, tsk tsk, waiting for Qi Heng's explanation.

In front of Lin Yuesha, this young lady made no attempt to hide her true feelings. Did she not know the most basic manners?

"General Qi, what brings you to Yutan Temple?"

The young lady spoke with great familiarity with Qi Heng. She was Sun Xiangxiang, the younger sister of Sun Baiwan. When her brother's good friend Tian Dali came to persuade him to surrender, Sun Xiangxiang immediately took a liking to Qi Heng.

Sun Xiangxiang didn’t mind at all when she heard that General Qi had already married. How could a man have only one wife?

If she were a hero, she would be willing to lower herself to become a concubine.

Uya was so shocked she couldn't speak. She grew up in Ucheng, where people were straightforward, but no one had ever been so disrespectful.

Do I need to tell you where I came from?

Qi Heng was very impatient. He didn't remember who the person in front of him was at all. He had been recognized for no reason and now he had to explain to his wife.

The problem is that this person doesn't introduce herself, and Qi Heng can't just make up an identity for her.

As if to fit the occasion, Sun Xiangxiang said, "Young General, have you forgotten? My elder brother is Sun Baiwan, your subordinate."

Sun Xiangxiang felt embarrassed and a little annoyed. She didn't think her appearance could be so easily ignored. She was sure that General Qi was playing hard to get and pretending not to recognize her.
