4. Song of the Clouds (Part 3)

Shen Yang suddenly proposed to take Yun Ge away, and everyone in the Xu family couldn't accept it for a while. Although Yun Ge had not been in the Xu family for a long time, everyone in the Xu family really liked this lively, innocent and lovely girl. Mrs. Xu, who had no daughter, treated Yun Ge better than her own sons. On the other hand, Mrs. Xu still secretly hoped that this girl would become the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. Now that Yun Ge was leaving suddenly, how could Mrs. Xu not be sad?

But Shen Yang was Yun Ge's blood relative, and even though he was now Yun Ge's adoptive father, his relationship was much closer than that of the Xu family. When Shen Yang said he wanted to take Yun Ge away, even the Xu family couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Suppressing her anxiety, Madam Xu turned her gaze to her son who was sitting at the bottom, hoping that he could come up with a passable excuse to reject Shen Yang.

Xu Qingchen raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yang. His expression had returned to its usual gentleness. He smiled calmly and said, "Mr. Shen, you have been very busy these past few months. How can you have the time to take care of Yun Ge? If Yun Ge were to live in your house, wouldn't it be the same as if she had lived in the mountains?"

How could living in his house be the same as living in the mountains? Shen Yang was unhappy and wanted to refute. Before he could speak, Xu Qingchen continued: "Besides, even if you are not busy... there is not even a female relative in your house. If Yun Ge came to your house, there would be no one to accompany her or teach her..."

Madam Xu's eyes lit up and she quickly smiled, "That's right, Mr. Shen... You also know that Yun Ge used to live with her father, and no one taught her many things that a girl should learn. If Mr. Shen can beat me, then hand Yun Ge over to me and I promise to teach her to be the most knowledgeable and well-mannered lady from a wealthy family."

"This..." Shen Yang frowned. It didn't matter whether Yun Ge could become a lady from a rich family, but what Madam Xu said was right. She still had to learn some rules for girls. He couldn't take care of Yun Ge for her whole life. She would have to get married in the future. It didn't matter if she spoiled her when she was a girl, and it didn't matter if she could do it or not. But when she went to her husband's family, she would not know anything and would definitely not be able to escape the favor of her mother-in-law.

Seeing Shen Yang's hesitation, Qin Zheng also smiled and said, "Aunt is right, Mr. Shen, Yun Ge is studying very hard, I believe it won't take long for her to make up for all the deficiencies. Before Yun Ge finishes her studies, she should stay in our house and learn more from Aunt. If Mr. Shen wants to teach Yun Ge medicine, why don't you go to the pharmacy or Mr. Shen's house for half a day during the day like Wuyou did?"

Shen Yang looked at Yun Ge standing beside him with some hesitation, frowning in thought. He was quite busy these days, there was a war going on outside, and although he didn't need to go to the front line, he still needed to prepare the medicinal materials to be transported to the front line.

"In that case. I'll have to trouble Madam Xu." Shen Yang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He rushed into someone's house in anger, and in the end he still had to trouble them.

Madam Xu didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Yun Ge is very well-behaved. Everyone in our family is very busy. My sister-in-law and Zheng'er are always with me. But I am all alone. I am happy to have Yun Ge as my companion."

Yun Ge stood by and blinked, looking at Shen Yang. Was she still going to live in the Xu family? In fact, she liked the Xu family very much. All the people in the Xu family were very kind, and she was reluctant to leave them. If...

"Does Yun Ge want to live with Mr. Shen?" Master Qing Chen looked at Yun Ge with a faint smile and said softly, "When you have passed the test, you can go back with Mr. Shen. Before that, Yun Ge must study hard and don't let Mr. Shen down."

Yun Ge's neck shrank, and she felt a cold wind blowing directly on her head. Her bright eyes dimmed instantly, and her smiling face looked as if she had eaten bitter herbs. Her little head shook vigorously and nodded.

Wuwu...Godfather, Xu Qingchen is so scary.

Unfortunately, Shen Yang only treated her as his new adopted daughter. His only blood relative in the world was indeed spoiled by her father and didn't like to study. He didn't receive Yun Ge's call for help at all.

After seeing Shen Yang off, Yun Ge once again welcomed a new learning environment. Every day, except for the half-day appointment with Shen Yang to study medicine, Yun Ge spent most of her time going to the study room and on the way to the study room. And since Shen Yang brought his adopted daughter to Licheng, more and more young talented women have come to Shen Yang's clinic or met him on the road with various excuses. There is no way, Shen Yang's two female disciples are not only good at medicine, but also beautiful. It's a pity that Mo Wuyou has been promised to the fourth son of the Xu family. There is no hope for this eldest disciple, but this little disciple and adopted daughter can always be relied on.

So Yun Ge tragically discovered that she never had enough homework to do. Every time she thought she had learned well and was relieved, she would be ashamed to find out that she was so stupid that she couldn't even show herself in public the next day when she met Xu Qingchen. She had to continue studying hard and then return to the study with more books and homework.

Even Madam Xu couldn't stand Master Qingchen's eagerness to teach others. After Yun Ge rejected her suggestion to take her out for a walk for the fifth time with a look of longing and refusal, Madam Xu finally couldn't help but want to talk to her son.

"Yun Ge is a girl and she doesn't have to take the imperial examination. Why are you pushing her so hard?" Madam Xu sighed as she saw her son's calm look.

Master Qingchen said righteously, "Girls from other families don't have to take the imperial examinations either, don't they also start studying from elementary school? Yun Ge started more than ten years later, so naturally she has to be more attentive."

I don't mind that my daughter-in-law is not a talented woman. Madam Xu couldn't help but said silently in her heart.

"Mom, Yun Ge has never seen outsiders since she was a child, and her mind is simple. But she is active and always running outside. If she gets cheated, how will you explain to Mr. Shen? Didn't you hear Wuyou say that people often come to see Yun Ge recently? There is no need to be afraid because Mr. Shen is in the clinic. What if she runs out to play by herself?"

"Is this true?" Mrs. Xu also became a little nervous.

Master Qingchen nodded and said, "Of course I did this because of you. When Yun Ge learns more and understands more, she will naturally relax a little. Mr. Shen entrusted Yun Ge to us, so we should enjoy it to our heart's content, right?"

Madam Xu frowned, nodded while thinking, and didn't notice that she had been led out of the study by Xu Qingchen. After walking a few steps forward, Madam Xu stopped and turned back in a bad mood and said, "You idiot, Wuyou would never tell you this! How could Yun Ge be so obedient..."

At the door, Master Qingchen had disappeared without a trace.

Knowing that no one can change what her son is determined to do, Madam Xu could only sigh and shake her head helplessly. She should go see Yun Ge and stew some tonic for her, poor child... But Yun Ge is obedient. If she really doesn't want to learn to beat Xu Qingchen, it's fine. At least Xu Qingchen can't beat her, right? Madam Xu thought absentmindedly.

Thus, Yun Ge's painful and hard study career continued until Prince Ding and Princess returned triumphantly. Yun Ge breathed a sigh of relief and showed even more respect for Master Qingchen. If someone had asked Yun Ge what kind of person Master Qingchen was before, Yun Ge would have said that Master Qingchen was the best-looking, most powerful, and most intelligent person in the world. But if someone asked her what kind of person Master Qingchen was now, Yun Ge's answer would be that Master Qingchen was the best-looking, most powerful, and most responsible teacher in the world.

Prince Ding and Princess Ding returned triumphantly, and the country was now at peace. After years of war, the people finally found temporary peace. The entire Li City became even more lively. The first birthday banquet of the young prince and princess of Prince Ding's mansion had just passed a few days ago, and the wedding banquet of the third and fourth sons of the Xu family was held. The guests who came to Li City to attend the first birthday banquet had not left yet, so they naturally joined in the excitement and attended the Xu family's wedding banquet.

At the wedding banquet, as the elder brother of the two grooms, no matter how extraordinary and detached Mr. Qingchen was, he could not avoid being dragged by the guests to drink. Of course, many people did not forget to do other activities during this period.

"Why don't you see Master Xu's wife?" a prince from a small country in the Western Regions asked in a somewhat stiff Central Plains dialect.

Xu Qingchen, who was toasting, glanced at the princess of the Western Regions who was sitting below the prince and looking at him intently. He smiled with a slightly gloomy look in his eyes and said, "I am still unmarried." The prince of the Western Regions' eyes lit up, "That's great. Prime Minister Xu, what do you think of my sister? My sister is the most beautiful, virtuous... and good girl in our country." The people of the Western Regions are open-minded, and the princess has nothing to be embarrassed about. She looks at the handsome and extraordinary man in front of her with an eager face.

Master Qingchen was startled, then smiled and shook his head to decline, "I'm afraid I'll be letting down your kindness."

The prince of the Western Regions was puzzled, "Why?" Young Master Qingchen was unmarried, and his sister was unmarried, and their status and appearance were similar, so why didn't they agree?

Just as Master Qingchen was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of a charming figure walking by not far away and turned to the corridor ahead. Of course, he did not miss the elegant young man who followed her eagerly. Master Qingchen's eyes darkened and he smiled faintly, "Sorry, I already have a fiancée."

"That's impossible. I've never heard of it." The Princess of the Western Regions shouted in disbelief, "Who is she? I want to challenge her!"

"I just walked past there." Master Qingchen said with a smile.

If it was someone else, they might not know who Master Qingchen was talking about, but the Princess of the Western Regions happened to be sitting facing the direction where Yun Ge had passed, and what was even more coincidental was that she happened to know Yun Ge. The Princess of the Western Regions looked at Master Qingchen in surprise, "No... Even if she looks better than me, she is still a child. How could you like her? She is not even thirteen years old."

Master Qingchen was speechless. Yun Ge was almost seventeen years old. However, people in the Western Regions naturally thought Yun Ge was young because they looked old. In addition, Yun Ge was lively and cheerful. In the eyes of the Western Region Princess, she was still a child.

"I will never lose to a child. I want to challenge her!" The Princess of the Western Regions did not attend the banquet and got up to chase after Yun Ge. The Prince of the Western Regions was afraid that his sister would cause trouble, so he quickly got up and chased after her. Master Qingchen patted his shoulder and said, "Prince, please sit down. I will go down and take a look."

nbsp;The Prince of the Western Regions thought about it and nodded, "Well, it's your fault, you should solve it yourself." He really didn't force him to marry his sister, he just asked casually.

Master Qingchen nodded with a smile and followed him. The whole Xu residence was noisy and the guests were toasting and drinking happily. Not many people noticed that Master Qingchen had quietly left.

"Miss Shen...Miss Shen..."

Yun Ge glared at the person following her in annoyance and decided to use her Qinggong to leave. This person always followed her every time she met him. She stopped to ask him what was going on but he didn't tell her. Once she left, he followed her again. She was going to visit Wuyou and Sister Tianxiang in the new house. Why was this guy following her?

"Miss Shen, Miss Shen..."

"What do you want to say?" Yun Ge said unhappily. Xu Qingchen said that she couldn't let people keep calling her name, that was not good. Uh... Xu Qingchen meant that if there were men she didn't know who kept following her and calling her a bad person, she could just beat them up. But this guy didn't seem to be a bad person. A few days ago, she saw him helping an old man who was hit by a car. Beat him... or not...

"Ms. Shen, Ms. Shen..." Seeing the beautiful and charming girl under the moonlight, the handsome man couldn't help but blush and was a little at a loss, "Uh... Ms. Shen, I have something to tell you."

"I know you've been following me for several days. Have you finally remembered what you want to say? Say it quickly and don't call me anymore, or I will really beat you up." Yun Ge nodded.

呃？男子一愣，幹笑道：“沈姑娘真愛開玩笑。”這麽嬌滴滴的小姑娘，就算揍他也不會痛吧？為了求得佳人的放心，“如果沈姑娘想揍我的話，就動手吧。我不會躲的。”男子大義凜然的道。

Huh? Now it was Yun Ge's turn to be dumbfounded.

"Well... just tell me what you want to say. I'm leaving now. I'm busy."

The man nodded quickly and said happily: "Miss Shen, I want to say, want to say... My last name is Mei, Mei Changxi. I am eighteen years old this year, and my father is the governor of a state. Uh... this is not important. I studied at Lishan Academy and just finished my military service last year. Although I can't be called a complete scholar, I am definitely not a weak scholar. I can definitely protect you, young lady. My family..."

Although she thought it was impolite to interrupt someone, Yun Ge couldn't help but speak, "Um... what do you want to say?" Did she need his protection? She could slap him away with one palm, and... she didn't know him!

The man was stunned, and finally realized that he had been talking for a long time but still hadn't gotten to the point. Gritting his teeth, the man said firmly: "Miss Shen, what I want to say is. I am to you..."

"Yun Ge, what are you doing here?" A clear voice sounded from not far away. A man in white clothes walked over under the moonlight. His handsome face with a faint smile seemed to be stained with a layer of halo under the moonlight, making people unable to take their eyes away. However, the man named Mei standing next to Yun Ge suddenly felt a gust of cold wind and sneezed on the spot.

"What are you doing here?" Walking up to Yun Ge and standing beside him, Master Qingchen raised his hand and brushed Yun Ge's hair that was blown to her by the night wind, and asked softly.

Yun Ge blinked, "Where else can we go to the new house if not here?"

"It's too dark, be careful not to fall." Young Master Qingchen said with a smile.

Why is Xu Qingchen so strange? How could she fall?

Why do you think you are so redundant? Master Mei thought a little depressed, "Master Qing... Master Qingchen, you and Miss Shen..." know each other?

"Yun Ge, I finally found you. I want to duel with you! If I beat Master Qingchen, he will be mine!" Not far away, the Princess of the Western Regions saw the three people and her eyes lit up, and she rushed over quickly.
