Niu Mingjie thought about it and realized it was true.

As soon as Xiao Liu saw him and Wan'er, he put on a playboy act. In Wan'er's mind, Xiao Liu was definitely not like that.

Niu Mingjie poured General Niu a cup of tea. "Father, you understand Xiao Liu best."

"Of course, I'm Xiao Liu's godfather. Xiao Liu is closer to me than to her own father. Xiao Liu must have been waiting for you and Miss Xu there on purpose today."

"Huh?!" Niu Mingjie was very surprised.

General Niu took a sip of tea. "If it weren't for the Crown Prince, you and Xiao Liu would have been married long ago. Although Xiao Liu hasn't said it, I know he's always felt he owes me an explanation."

“Our family has been granted a title, and my eldest brother, second brother, and you have all been granted official positions.”

"That was the Crown Prince's explanation to our family. Besides, if Miss Xu hadn't met the Crown Prince after she was injured, she would have... well, you know. So, the Crown Prince has given you a wife in return."

"Yes. Father, are you afraid I'll resent the Crown Prince?"

"Yes. Whether you can be husband and wife depends on fate. Father and Xiao Liu's mother were not destined to be together, and neither are you and Xiao Liu."

"I know. Don't worry, I won't blame the Crown Prince. I don't understand Xiao Liu as well as the Crown Prince does. If I married Xiao Liu, he would bully me every day."

“I’m relieved that you think that way. By the way, the Emperor told me that he plans to transfer you back to the capital. Firstly, you’ve gained enough experience over the years. Secondly, isn’t Miss Xu going to take the imperial examination? Staying in the capital will allow her to consult with Old Master Yun and the others, and it will save her the trouble of traveling to the capital.”

Indeed. "Was this also something Xiao Liu told the Emperor?"

"Hmm." General Niu looked at Niu Mingjie and said, "Although Xiao Liu often teases you, he also treats you like a brother. You should play chess with Xiao Liu more often when you have time; it's his only hobby."

"good."

The next day, after breakfast, Sisi took her two chubby sons back to her parents' home.

As soon as she returned to her parents' home, Sisi left her two chubby sons with Shisi.

Fourteen glared at Sisi. "Did you know I didn't have to go to the academy today and came right back?"

When the Yun family's children grow up, they all go to the academy to study.

Sisi gave Fourteen a smiley face. "That's right. Gouwa, Gousheng, listen to your Uncle Fourteen."

Gouwa and Gousheng: "Okay."

Fourteen glared at Sisi again before leaving with his two nephews.

Sisi chatted with Grandpa Yun for a while and then came to find Fengchan.

Feng Chan is worried.

Sisi tilted her head, blinked, and asked Fengchan, "Mother, are you worried?"

"Yes." Feng Chan straightened Sisi's head and looked at her, saying, "How old are you and still being naughty?"

"Hehe..." Sisi hugged Fengchan and rubbed against her. "No matter how old she is, she's still your daughter. What are you worried about?"

"Chou Twelve and Thirteen only treat Hei Bao and Xiao Bai as their younger sisters."

So that's why? "Forced love is never sweet."

Feng Chan knew this too. "Why don't they like Hei Bao and Xiao Bai? Hei Bao and Xiao Bai are so great!"

"It's not a question of good or bad. How about we pair Fourteen and Blackie together?"

"...Fourteenth would definitely not agree."

"As long as Hei Bao is willing."

"...Didn't you say that forced relationships are never sweet?"

"That's for twelve and thirteen."

"...You and Fourteen are truly a pair of sworn enemies."

"Hehe... Niu Xiaosan's matter is settled."

"Really? That's wonderful!" Feng Chan was also very concerned about Niu Mingjie's marriage. "I'll be very unhappy if Mingjie doesn't get married. By the way, when are the Crown Prince and Gou Dan coming back?"

"It'll probably be another six months, right?"

"It'll be another six months?"

"Hmm." Sisi told Fengchan about Xu Muwan's personality and appearance. "They look quite well-matched standing together."

"That's good. Send them a generous wedding gift when they get married."

"Um."

Over here, Sisi and Fengchan finished talking about Niu Mingjie and then chatted about some other gossip.

On the other side, Fourteen was extremely frustrated because Gouwa and Gousheng were becoming more and more like Sisi. "Don't learn from your mother, learn from your father. Ah..."

Fourteen had barely finished speaking when someone grabbed his ear and twisted it.

Hei Bao grabbed Fourteen's ear with one hand and glared at him with the other, saying, "I knew you would talk badly about my aunt. Gouwa, Gousheng, don't listen to him, he's just a stubborn old man."

Gouwa and Gousheng covered their ears and said, "We don't want to hear it, we don't want to hear it."

Fourteen was extremely frustrated. "Let go! I'm all grown up now, you can't twist my ear anymore."

"I'll twist it, go ahead and hit me if you dare!"

Fourteen was even more frustrated. This little girl had perfectly inherited Old Black's talent. Not to mention him, even his older cousin couldn't beat this little girl.

“You’re a girl, stop using the word ‘hit’ all the time.”

Hei Bao pinched Fourteen again. "You have to be tough with a stubborn little thing like you. Don't talk bad about your aunt anymore, or I'll really hit you."

Fourteen didn't want to agree, but her ear was in their hands. "Okay, let go."

Hei Bao let go when he agreed. "Gouwa, Gousheng, let's go play, sister."

She used to love playing with Fourteen, but now she loves playing with Gouwa and Gousheng. She really wants twins, but unfortunately her parents aren't as powerful as Uncle Taizi and Aunt Xiaoliu. Sigh!

Fourteen followed, feeling dejected.

Fourteen didn't want to go either, but this little girl wasn't exactly a well-behaved child.

If he doesn't keep an eye on her, who knows what trouble she might cause.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Niu Mingjie's wedding day arrived.
