There are consequences to being a traitorous official.
First: Being born into a loyal official's family. She felt out of place and uncomfortable all over.
Second: Following her loya...
"No reason?" She actually dreamed about that butterfly last night. "I just don't like it."
"Oh." Uncle Bai was right; most women are unreasonable. "Sister, when are we going to the capital to visit Sister Yun and Uncle Bai... um... who can ride horses, hunt, and knows so many interesting things?"
"Duan Yuchen!"
What's wrong now? "Sister, what can I do for you?" Uncle Bai said that if you don't know why a woman is angry, just call her "sister," and she'll be happy and won't be angry anymore.
Just as Duan Yuchen finished speaking, Madam Duan came in from outside. "Yu'er, what have you done to upset your sister again? I heard your sister call you by your full name before I even entered the door."
"I don't know. Big sister, you're not angry anymore, are you?"
Just as Duan Ruoqing was about to speak, Mrs. Duan asked curiously, "Why do you call your elder sister 'sister'?"
"Bai... um... an uncle said that if a girl is angry, calling her 'adult' will make her stop being angry."
Mrs. Duan laughed upon hearing this. "What do you mean, 'have an uncle'? Isn't that your Uncle Bai?"
"My sister doesn't let me mention Bai... um... there's an uncle there."
"Oh, so that's what happened? Okay, go play now, your sister isn't angry anymore."
"Okay!"
After Duan Yuchen left, Madam Duan looked at the maids beside her. "You may all leave now."
"yes."
After the maids left, Madam Duan looked at Duan Ruoqing and smiled, "Why did you suddenly stop letting your younger brother mention Lao Bai at home?"
Duan Ruoqing pouted. "He keeps bringing it up, I'm so tired of hearing it."
"I don't think so. Tell your mother, have you fallen for Lao Bai?"
"What?!" Duan Ruoqing's eyes widened instantly! "How could I like him? He'd love to live in a brothel." The reason she dreamed about that butterfly was because her younger brother kept mentioning it.
Mrs. Duan felt that with so many advantages, this was completely tolerable. "Which man isn't a womanizer? Didn't your father take two concubines?"
None of Xiao Liu's uncles and aunts took concubines.
"That's because Old Master Yun is strict. If Old Master Yun did something like that, do you think they would accept it?"
"..."
"Let me tell you, if you marry Lao Bai, you won't have to serve your parents-in-law or deal with your sisters-in-law. Plus, you'll have a title, and it's hereditary."
"mother?!"
Mrs. Duan looked at Duan Ruoqing and said, "When you reach my age, you'll understand why I think Lao Bai is so good. Let me tell you, nothing beats being free and easy. Wouldn't you be so free and easy if you married Lao Bai?"
"mother?!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Think it over carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Besides, going to brothels is much less troublesome than giving birth to a bunch of illegitimate children."
"mother?!"
"Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Didn't your brother want to go to the capital to visit Yun Xiaoliu? Why don't you take your brother with you?"
"Xiao Liu is not in the capital right now."
"Not here? Then go to the capital and broaden your horizons. Your second uncle is going to open a martial arts school in the capital, and I'll have him take you. Once you get to the capital, remember to pay your respects to Grandma Yun and Xiao Liu's mother."
Xiao Liu also had an older man named Lao Hei by her side. She heard that Lao Hei's wife was found for her by Xiao Liu's mother.
Six days later, Mrs. Duan asked her second brother to take Duan Ruoqing and Duan Yuchen to the capital to broaden their horizons.
Duan Yuchen was very happy.
Duan Ruoqing... Duan Ruoqing felt that her mother really didn't understand her at all. How could she like Lao Bai?
On the other side, Young Master Zheng was practicing his swordplay in the courtyard when he suddenly heard two exclamations of surprise.
"Wow!"
"Wow!"
Following the sound, Young Master Zheng looked over and saw two heads popping out from the top of the wall in his courtyard.
The two heads looked over at him and then let out two more "Wow" sounds.
Young Master Zheng rubbed his forehead. "Stop yelling. If you want to see, come down and look openly."
Both heads shook in unison. "No, no, no, this is the standard way to look at a handsome man."
"..." These two are really funny. "May I ask your names?"
Sisi: "My surname is Yun, and I am the sixth child in my family. Everyone calls me Yun Xiaoliu."
Lao Bai: "My surname is Bai, and everyone calls me Lao Bai."
Yun Xiaoliu? Lao Bai?
Young Master Zheng felt that these two titles sounded familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard them before. "My surname is Zheng, and I'm the second son. Everyone calls me Zheng Er."
Sisi leaned against the wall and looked at Zheng Er, saying, "Zheng Er, are you engaged? I have several older sisters."
Zheng Er didn't answer. "Are you engaged?"
"It's settled."
Zheng Er was a little disappointed. He had never met such an interesting and frank young girl. "Your sister isn't engaged yet, how come you're engaged already?"
"Don't even mention it, I was set up. Are you engaged?"
"No."
"Then you can be my brother-in-law."
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I want to establish my career first before starting a family."
"That works too. I not only have several older sisters, but I also have several younger sisters."
"..." So you're determined to drag me to your house? "Can you guys come down?"
Sisi: "We like to see it this way."
Lao Bai: "Only by looking at it this way can we express our sincerity."
Zheng Er didn't believe it at all. He thought Sisi and Lao Bai were just having fun, which was why they were clinging to the wall. "Where are the two experts I hired at great expense?" Being too handsome is also a dangerous thing for a man.
Sisi and Lao Bai: "We knocked them unconscious."
