After Xiao Jingyan knelt in the ancestral hall all night, the Yu Xianrong incident came to an end for the Xiao family.

Although General Xiao seems rough-hearted on a daily basis, he can also be thoughtful sometimes. However, whenever he does, it's always related to his two granddaughters.

What would Aunt Ruan think of her granddaughters' "encounter" with Yu Xianrong on the street? Would she be very dissatisfied, thinking that Ping An was unworthy of studying with her, or would she just walk away in anger? How sad would those two granddaughters be!

After observing for a whole morning, General Xiao did not notice anything unusual about Nanny Ruan. Instead, he found that Ping An seemed to be closer to her and called her "Master" all the time.

"Ping An is truly capable. She can even handle such a picky person. She's truly worthy of being my granddaughter, Xiao Hu." General Xiao thought to himself. He was the kind of person who could make the coldest months of winter seem like spring, as long as his granddaughter was doing well. So, having put his worries aside, he happily ate, changed his clothes, and headed to the Imperial College, feeling refreshed.

The three people who arrived at the Imperial College before him didn't know whether General Xiao would be in a good mood today. They all guessed that even if the old man took their identities into consideration and didn't dare to vent his anger on them openly, he would definitely not be in a good mood.

No matter whose family becomes the topic of conversation on the streets, they probably wouldn't be happy. Although the Xiao family, as the male family, was not greatly affected by what happened the day before, don't forget that the two young girls who came forward are also from their family. Even if public opinion is biased towards the Xiao family, there are still voices of disharmony and even accusations.

Yun Yichen really hoped that the sharp-tongued, cunning and eccentric little girl would be severely punished, made to copy books, kneel in the ancestral hall, or even better, thrown into a sparsely populated, remote and desolate farm, or simply let her become a nun and practice, never to return to Kyoto for the rest of her life.

When General Xiao appeared in front of them with a smile on his face, Yun Yifan and Mu Fengwu's uneasy hearts relaxed, but Yun Yichen was shocked and unable to accept this cruel fact.

"First, run twenty laps, practice the moves you just learned the day before yesterday, and let me check them. Then, learn the following two moves, and then go shoot arrows. As long as all your arrows hit the bull's eye, today's mission will be completed."

That's it. No punishment, no scolding. Is this still the same old man who used to torment them whenever he was in a bad mood? Could he have been switched?

"What? You're not used to not being punished, right? Then..."

"Adapt, especially adapt." We are just a little uncomfortable with your mood today, Mu Fengwu replied flatteringly, not forgetting to complain a little in his heart.

While several people here were training as required, General Xiao had already sat down and was leisurely sipping tea.

"Do you think the old man is a little abnormal today? Could he be overly stimulated?" Rumors about the Xiao family are flying all over the place now, making outsiders pay more or less attention to this matter. How could the person involved be indifferent? Could it be that he was overly stimulated?

"Maybe he was shocked too much and became like this." Yun Yichen was unwilling to accept the fact he saw. He tended to believe that the Xiao family punished Xiao Jingyan and even the two little girls and sisters, and the old man was just forcing a smile today.

"It's such a pity that I couldn't go to the Yuan family yesterday because of something. I heard that the old man's granddaughter fought with Miss Yu for three hundred rounds and won the final victory. How could I miss such a good show! Junior sister! I have wanted to see her for a long time!" Mu Fengwu said in a low voice, his tone full of regret.

"It's better not to watch it. If you do, the image of the beautiful Junior Sister in your mind will be completely destroyed."

"So you've seen them! What do you think? Does he look like Xiao Zhuangzhuang? I heard they're twins, a boy and a girl. If not exactly alike, they should be at least 80% similar, right?"

Yun Yifan also came over. He had never seen the two girls from the Xiao family before. The one chosen by Nanny Ruan should not be bad.

"They don't look alike at all. As for her looks, she's just an ordinary person. She's eloquent and thoughtful, and doesn't look like a lady from a famous family at all." Yun Yichen said with a bit of gritted teeth.

"Did you meet... and have a fight?" Yun Yichen never liked to mention girls, and he rarely made comments about them. To make him say such words, the two people who had been with him for a long time guessed that something unpleasant must have happened between them.

"I've never met her. I just accidentally heard her saying bad things about others behind their backs." Yun Yichen didn't want to ruin a little girl's reputation behind her back, so he picked out some of the facts that he "knew" and told them.

"No way!" Nanny Ruan had a very sharp vision. Could it be that she also misjudged people? Yun Yifan felt that this possibility was unlikely, but his cousin had always been a man of his words and could distinguish right from wrong. He would never say anything carelessly about something that concerned a girl's reputation.

The most likely scenario is that these two people must have met and something very unpleasant happened. Due to the old man's face, the cousin could not take revenge, so he complained and expressed his feelings in front of himself and Mu Fengwu.

"Are you done practicing?" General Xiao reminded them when he saw the three people slowing down.

Little girl, Junior Sister, those are not the most important things you should care about right now. Let’s finish today’s martial arts training first.

After practicing boxing and kicking, the three of them walked to the archery area together. Yun Yichen was already shooting at the moving target, while the other two were still practicing at fixed targets.

Halfway through the practice, General Xiao's high-pitched voice was heard again.

"Hurry up and have people line up to buy it. Ruyi likes this the most. You should also buy some of the crispy flavor. Ping'an likes it very much. If the two sisters can't finish it, share it with the young masters. You go first. After buying it, quickly have someone send it home. It will not taste good if it is left out for a long time. I will say hello to these guys and leave. I will go home to have a snack with my granddaughter." General Xiao carefully instructed his entourage.

"Hey, you kid wanted to kill someone to silence him, and you almost hit me." Although he exaggerated some of the facts and the arrow was still some distance away from Mu Fengwu, he still jumped up shouting.

Yun Yifan also hurried over to check.

"If you shoot Duke Mu's most beloved grandson, he will definitely be sad." Mu Fengwu said self-righteously.

"Puchi." Yun Yifan laughed out loud accidentally. Old Duke Mu loves you the most. If he doesn't chase you around the yard a few times a day, both you and your grandson will feel like something is missing and you will probably not be able to sleep well at night.

Yun Yichen threw the bow and arrow in his hand to the ground in frustration. This old man was too unprincipled. He didn't punish his granddaughter for quarreling with others on the street yesterday, and even bought her food and drinks. It turned out that this old man was unreliable. There was no hope of using him to take revenge.

"How could you make such a big mistake? What if the arrow missed? I really don't know what you were thinking just now." General Xiao put aside the matter of accompanying his granddaughter for the time being and walked to Yun Yichen to ask the reason.

What are you thinking? I want to use you to take revenge. If you didn't fail to distinguish right from wrong and had no stance, how could my arrow have missed the target?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mu, I really didn't mean it. You can do whatever you want."

"Since you have a good attitude, I'll let it go this time. No, I don't want it to happen again. I don't know what has happened to you today. You haven't been normal all day."

If you were being plotted against, you probably wouldn't be able to be normal. Yun Yichen thought he had behaved very rationally and with restraint. If they had been in the same situation, they might have behaved worse than he did!

"Forget it, let's stop here today and go home." These three guys of noble status must not get hurt under his nose. No matter what happens in a year, it will have nothing to do with him. Just hold on. After a year, everyone will go their separate ways and have no intersection anymore. Then he can spend every day with his granddaughter.

General Xiao, do you know that there is a saying that goes, "Things don't go as planned," and there is also a saying that goes, "Enemies will always meet again!"
