Shen Dongxue stood up apologetically and said, "My lord, I wish to reunite with Master Luo, but I do not wish to return to Luoxia Manor yet."
"Don't want to go back? Why?"
Luo Xue is not yet forty years old this year. In modern times, this is the age when one should be making a name for oneself, but in ancient times, this age would be the age when one could retire and enjoy the company of grandchildren.
"This humble official would like to stay by your side for a few more years. Master Luo has managed Luoxia Manor exceptionally well, and now he even uses winter snow."
Shen Dongxue felt that she hadn't spent enough time with the adults, and their bond was still somewhat weak.
She can stay by the adult's side for a few more years, and once she's firmly secured this powerful backer, it won't be too late for her to return to Luoxia Manor.
By staying here with Yue Fuguang, she is indirectly contributing to Luoxia Manor. With the manor having the master as a backer, it is more useful than ten of her going back.
Yue Fuguang was indifferent to this, saying, "Either way is fine. You can discuss it with Luo Xue later."
After the Shen sisters left, the system couldn't help but ask, "Host, aren't you going to tell Shen Dongxue that Yin Shuangcheng died two years ago?"
"We don't need to tell her; Luo Xue will tell her when she arrives. Besides, I think Luo Xue did the right thing."
Discovering her husband's infidelity and the fact that he had colluded with someone else to switch her child, she decisively killed him. Her methods and decisiveness deserve a thumbs up!
Indeed, Yin Shuangcheng was having an affair with her lover when they were ambushed and killed by bandits during their travels. She even claimed it was to avenge her husband.
It was truly gratifying to wipe out that bandit stronghold.
Even when Luo Yu personally went to investigate, he found absolutely no clues.
"Luo Xue was just worried that her husband would suffer, so she gave him more money when he went out, and also let him collect some rent."
The news was discovered by the bandits, who not only robbed him on the road but also killed him on the spot. These were all accidents; it can only be said that Yin Shuangcheng was unlucky.
Carrying a large sum of money and daring to take his old flame on a trip—if he doesn't die, who will?
Upon hearing that Luo Yu had been arrested, Luo Xue was probably overjoyed, having previously been afraid of the power of the Cao Gang and Sima Jing.
She didn't dare to take direct action against this person, and even when looking for her daughter, she had to go through roundabout ways and ask for help from others.
Now that the adopted son has been arrested and the biological daughter has been found, it's truly a cause for celebration.
"Tongtong, don't forget that her own son, Luo Feng, was also arrested, and he's definitely going to die."
Because of the inheritance dispute over Luoxia Manor, their mother-son relationship had long been a mere formality.
Luo Feng knew perfectly well that his father had a mistress and had even slept with his own younger sister.
For his own benefit, he can still be as close as family to that family of three. A son like that is better off without!
"Qingzhu, hasn't Taxue returned yet?"
It's true what they say, even eagles can't help but mutter to themselves.
Just as the moonlight began to shine and I inquired about treading on snow, I saw two black dots appearing in the distance as the wind blew.
When they flew closer, they saw that the leader was none other than the silly bird from the Western Qiang that had shamelessly insisted on following Yue Fuguang as tribute on Emperor Mingxi's birthday!
Once it stuck to Moonlight, it was impossible to get rid of, and even the Emperor's Hundred Beasts Garden couldn't contain it. In the end, Moonlight reluctantly took it in as a little brother... little sister, and named it Treading Snow.
"Miss, it's Ta Xue! And it brought back an eagle? A falcon!"
Qingzhu happily went to open the window for Taxue.
"Qingzhu, go and get them some fresh meat."
【Host, you complain about how troublesome it is to keep it, but you're the one who feeds it the most frequently, and you're even willing to give it spirit beast pills.】
Look how fat Ta Xue has gotten!
"No matter how fat she is, it doesn't stop her from finding a son-in-law!"
Yue Fuguang had already seen that the gray peregrine falcon behind Ta Xue, which was a size larger than her, was a male.
Could it be that the other party came along because they were attracted to Ta Xue's plump appearance and knew he had good food?
She had to make Ta Xue proud, so with a thought, half of the spirit beast pill that Ta Xue had left behind appeared in her hand.
As soon as the pill appeared in her hand, the two flat-feathered creatures immediately became restless, especially the newcomer, whose two long wings spread out.
I couldn't help but blink twice, and then a breeze blew over.
Yue Fuguang's face darkened, and he scolded, "Ta Xue, control your son, or I'll kick you both out of the house!"
Yue Fuguang wasn't worried that she wouldn't understand. Having consumed several spirit beast pills, the already exceptionally intelligent Ta Xue had its intelligence tested by the system.
It's already equivalent to the IQ of a three- or four-year-old child.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Ta Xue disregarded the spirit beast pills and directly slapped the peregrine falcon with her talons, knocking its head to the side.
The peregrine falcon, which lost a few feathers after being hit by the snow, immediately became docile.
Moonlight was very satisfied with Snowwalker's way of managing her husband; it was simple, direct, and effective.
She divided the half-pill of spirit beast into five portions of different sizes, gave the largest one to Taxue, and the smallest one to the newcomer.
As her own child, she had to ensure that Ta Xue always maintained an absolute advantage in terms of force, thus solidifying her undisputed position in the family.
Dividing half a pill into several portions is not because Yue Fuguang is stingy; these are spirit beast pills, which, as the name suggests, are for spirit beasts to eat.
If ordinary beasts like Ta Xue ate too much at once, they would surely explode and die.
Look at this new one, it was given the smallest one, and now that it's finished eating, it's already acting like it's drunk, all puffed up into a big fluffy ball, and the skin under its wings has turned pink.
Moonlight patted its head, "Newcomer, don't sleep yet. From now on, you'll take the name of Snowwalker and be called Wuhen."
I am your master. From now on, you must obey me. If you disobey, you will be kicked out of the house.
The name "Treading Snow Without Leaving a Trace" sounds like it belongs to the same family, and Yue Fuguang was very satisfied with his naming skills.
Then, turning to the unusually excited Ta Xue, he said, "Ta Xue, keep Wu Hen in check. Our family practices a system of collective punishment; if one bird makes a mistake, the whole family is exiled. Do you understand?"
Yue Fuguang's threatening words were full of Colonel's flavor, ugh! Before the system could speak, she despised herself first.
Ta Xue tilted its head, its beady eyes darting around, clearly indicating that its CPU wasn't working properly.
[Host, look at Ta Xue's bewildered expression. Does it even understand what collective punishment is?]
"We'll know once it eats a few more spirit beast pills."
Yue Fuguang tossed a piece of fresh meat that Qingzhu had brought to Taxue, saying, "Eat quickly, so you can work better."
[Host, you want Ta Xue to deliver a message to Luo Xue? I estimate that Luo Xue should have already received the message via carrier pigeon about Luo Feng and Luo Yu's capture.]
"I sent a message to Luo Xue mainly about Dong Xue's situation. The sooner she gets the news, the better she will feel."
"This will give me time to think about how to handle things afterward. My only responsibility is to ensure that the mother and daughter are reunited; I don't want to get involved in anything else."
No one should let her worry about anything more.
[Host, you're trying to slack off again! The entire Dayan Dynasty, from the emperor to the officials, is busy helping you with your work, while you're just lounging around at home.]
"What do you mean by helping me with my work? They don't build their own country, do they expect me, an outsider, to do it?"
Tell me, did they benefit from their work? I provided the technology, the seeds, and even predicted the future for them; they didn't lose out at all.
Isn't it only right that you treat me like royalty?
This offering is a genuine offering, the kind with incense!
