"What a load of rubbish! It's basically just a disguised blind date," Cheng Wanrong pouted as she talked about it. Her cousin was a good-for-nothing who did nothing but play with birds and walk dogs all day, and to make matters worse, he was ugly! She couldn't stand him, but her mother was determined to match them up, saying it would strengthen family ties!
Chuanyu expressed his regret over Cheng Wanrong's fate, saying that since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers, leaving women with no choice whatsoever.
Speaking of this, Chuanyu couldn't help but think of Xu Wuyou, who had gone to the front lines to fight. He wondered what their fate would be.
As the two were brooding over their own worries, they saw Uncle Han approaching from afar, clutching his stomach. He looked like he had just come out of the outhouse. Chuan Yu's face showed a moment of embarrassment. She quickly said goodbye to Cheng Wanrong and they went home.
After returning to the Marquis of Changxing's residence, Chuanyu went directly to her grandmother's courtyard, guessing that Chuanwen must be there.
Sure enough, Chuanwen was eating and drinking heartily there, while his grandparents watched with beaming smiles.
The truth is:
The post, written while munching on fragrant, glutinous chicken feet, reads: "The master who makes these chicken feet took on three apprentices, all eager to learn his recipe and vying to curry favor with him! The eldest apprentice sent him local specialties from his hometown, the second apprentice slipped him a red envelope (bribe), and the third apprentice, not to be outdone, splurged on a beautiful maidservant and sent her over. As a result, the master craftsman got three teeth knocked out by his wife, the shrew of the house!"
After a moment of stunned silence, the Marquis of Changxing and his wife burst into laughter!
After finishing his chicken feet, Chuanwen savored the stinky tofu: "The stinky tofu owner loves keeping cats, but one of them runs away. He's puzzled because he doesn't mistreat them and feeds them well every day, so why don't they want to stay at his house? He curses the cats for being heartless!"
It wasn't until one day when he saw his newly adopted cat vomiting over the stinky tofu he made, staring at him with disbelief as he ate it, that he realized all the previous cats had been driven away by the smell of the stinky tofu! Actually... actually...
The post started with wild speculation: "Is it possible that the cats thought the boss was so poor he was eating shit, and couldn't possibly support them, so they ran away? Hahahaha!"
The Marquis of Changxing and his wife were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter!
Chuanyu walked in. Although she also found it particularly enjoyable to watch Wenmei eat, all she could do was smile like an aunt and swallow her saliva. Her grandparents were laughing too happily.
So Chuanyu asked, "Why are Grandpa and Grandma so happy?"
Chuanwen looked over as well, equally puzzled. "These two idiots have been sitting here laughing for ages. Is eating something really that funny?"
Marquis Changxing, who was laughing so hard he was taking a sip of tea to refresh himself, almost choked. Cough cough cough!
Chuanyu quickly came over and gently patted his back.
A complete idiot?!
The old lady of Changxing Marquis's eyes twitched. "Wen girl, are you this unrestrained in the palace?"
She'll have to go burn incense another day to thank the gods and Buddhas for protecting her family so they're still alive.
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm happy to see Wenya. It's rare for our whole family to get together, so let's have a good get-together and a reunion dinner today."
Marquis Changxing waved his hand and smiled happily again.
My brother is still at the quarry!
Speaking of family reunions, Chuanwen thought of her brother, but quickly exclaimed, "My brother is already in the capital!"
I almost forgot about that brat, Marquis Changxing: Good, good, good! You dare to deceive the Second Prince! And run away from home! My whip is ready. Today I'll show you why flowers are so red!
Unable to hear Chuanwen's thoughts, Chuanyu eagerly recounted her heroic deeds of encountering human traffickers, subduing them one by one, and handing them over to the authorities to rid the people of this scourge.
Chuanwen laughed heartily and even gave Yu Jie a thumbs up, but the elderly couple, Marquis Changxing and his wife, were a little stunned.
"Yu'er, when did you learn kung fu?"
The old lady of Changxing looked at her quiet and dignified granddaughter with suspicion. Chuanyu's excitement faltered; she was so excited that she forgot she had secretly practiced martial arts.
"I...I..."
Chuan Yu was struggling with what to say when Chuan Wen had already blurted it out in his mind.
While others are hiding indoors embroidering and sewing, my sister Yu is hiding indoors wielding a sledgehammer and hitting a sandbag! Hahahaha!
The Marquis of Changxing and his wife were stunned, especially the old lady of the Marquis of Changxing, who almost pinched her philtrum.
Isn't her Yu'er supposed to be dignified and elegant?
We absolutely mustn't let anyone know, otherwise, if Yu'er gets a reputation for being fierce, how will she ever marry into a good family!
Looking at Chuanwen, who was still laughing happily to the side, the old lady of Changxing Marquis felt a little sad and desperate. With Chuanwen around, others would find out sooner or later, right?
Once again, the old lady of the Marquis of Changxing experienced the saying "what is meant to be will be" through Chuanwen!
While Chuan Yu was celebrating, the elderly Marquis of Changxing and his wife were grieving. Chuan Yu didn't know how to respond when Zhang Yuan came to report that the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies requested an audience with the Marquis of Changxing.
Marquis Changxing was puzzled. He had never had any dealings with the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial, so why was he coming to see him?
As she got up to leave, she heard Chuanwen's inner thoughts: "Oh no! Could it be they're here to interrogate us? The group my sister Yu handed over to the authorities were envoys from the Little Liang Kingdom!"
Just as the Marquis of Changxing was walking to the door, he almost tripped over the threshold, and the old lady of the Marquis of Changxing, who had just picked up a teacup, almost dropped it.
Both women wore expressions of shock, but the old lady of the Marquis of Changxing was in a more difficult position, as Chuanwen was right beside her, and she could only force herself to suppress her emotions. The Marquis of Changxing's retreating figure as he headed towards the front hall also carried a hint of fleeing.
Chuanwen and Chuanyu were puzzled.
In the front hall, the Vice Minister of the Court of State Ceremonial was extremely anxious. He couldn't sit still and paced back and forth in the living room. He hadn't seen the envoys from the Little Liang Kingdom since yesterday. He had searched everywhere, but it had been a day and a night and he still hadn't found them. He was almost frantic with worry!
