"Alright, alright, say whatever you want. If you can find a wife, that's awesome! I wish you success soon!"
"You don't believe me, do you? Well, you just wait and see. I'll definitely find it for you. And when that happens, you can't be so rude. You'll have to call me 'Master's Wife'!"
"..." Yongqi fell silent again. "I haven't formally become your disciple, so why should I call you 'Master's Wife'?"
"You brat, I helped you establish your Wuxiang Valley. When you're not available, I handle all the affairs of Wuxiang Valley, including your martial arts and swordsmanship. Don't I give you pointers? Am I not qualified to be your master?"
Yongqi was completely speechless now. "Alright, you're right. I really should call you Master!"
"That's right. You can be informal with me normally, calling me brother, but once I get married, you can't ruin my image!"
"...I think you should find a wife first before saying these things to me. I'm going back now; my mother is waiting for me to come home for dinner!"
After Yongqi finished speaking, he turned and left, which infuriated Xu Haoxuan. "You brat, are you trying to take advantage of me because I don't have a mother? I think you're doing this on purpose!"
Even though he knows perfectly well that he has no parents and grew up wandering the world on his own, he still insists on bringing up that his mother is waiting for him to eat. It's infuriating!
However, Yongqi didn't hear his mutterings because Yongqi had already run far away. "That old man still has such a bad temper. I wonder if Xiaoyanzi will be so angry when she sees him when she comes back?"
At that moment, he never dreamed that after Xiao Yanzi and Xu Haoxuan met, Xu Haoxuan would become Xiao Yanzi's ally. Xu Haoxuan would even use his position to settle personal scores, and he was powerless to resist. However, this was a few years later.
Four days later, Xiao Yanzi and her companions arrived at a place called Linjiang Town. Xingchen asked, "Miss, shall we find an inn first, settle our luggage, and then go out for a walk?"
Little Swallow nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, let's hurry up and put our things away, then we'll go for a walk."
They arrived at the town's most popular inn—the Misty Rain Inn—and settled in. After putting their luggage away, the group left the inn together, intending to stroll around Linjiang Town. However, because Yongqi had shown Xiaoyanzi so many things, now that they were outside the palace, the sight of all the jewelry and jewels outside the palace left her feeling completely unmoved. It wasn't until Qingyun spoke up, saying, "Miss, look over there, it seems like people are arguing..."
"Brother Yuanzhong, what's wrong with you? Did Murui do something wrong?"
A little girl who looked to be about ten years old pitifully tugged at the sleeve of a tall, seemingly gentle man. "Brother Yuanzhong, can you talk to Mu Rui? You can be angry with Mu Rui, but can you please stop ignoring her?"
Looking at the little girl tugging at his sleeve, Peng Yuanzhong felt a burning pain in his heart and sighed, "Why did you have to be that man's daughter?"
He originally brought this girl back to get revenge on her father, because if it weren't for him, neither of their mothers would have died. However, unexpectedly, after bringing her back, he gradually developed feelings for her. Over time, while he liked her, he also felt immense guilt when he remembered the way his mother died...
"You didn't do anything wrong. I just saw someone and I was in a bad mood. It has nothing to do with you. Let me be alone for a while, and I'll come back to you after I've calmed down, okay?" He knew better than anyone that the elders' feud had nothing to do with this little girl. She knew nothing because he had secretly taken her home when she was just born...
Over the past ten years, watching this girl's father grow thinner and thinner, while she remained completely unaware, he felt both a sense of satisfaction and guilt. "Father, Mother, do you think what I did was right?"
Little Swallow overheard their conversation and whispered, "It looks like two young lovers had a little tiff. It's nothing to worry about. Let's go."
Peng Yuanzhong thought Xie Murui knew nothing, but in fact, after she regained her memories, she had already unintentionally learned about her background. It turned out that her mother and Peng Yuanzhong's mother were sisters, and their fathers were like brothers. However, her father was framed, which ruined her parents' life of monogamy. Her father was forced to take a concubine.
Although her father didn't give this concubine a kind look afterward, this concubine was very capable and won over the hearts of all the servants in the mansion, which infuriated her mother!
Later, her mother was about to give birth to her, but Peng Yuanzhong's mother happened to be seriously ill and could not help. Then, her mother died while giving birth to her. Peng Yuanzhong's father knew about this and originally kept the news from her, but unexpectedly, that concubine was very capable and actually spread the news to Peng Yuanzhong's mother's ears, which made her die of anger.
Afterwards, Peng Yuanzhong's father committed suicide for love, which Peng Yuanzhong naturally couldn't bear. He began to want to take revenge on his father. If his father hadn't been so stupid and foolish, how could he have been framed? As a result, his parents died one after another, leaving him motherless from birth...
However, this concubine has a powerful background. Even though they know in their hearts that this concubine is the biggest problem, they have no way to deal with her, which is why she is still at large!
"That young master Peng is also pitiful. His family is too rich, which is why..."
"Yes, I thought the lives of the rich must be very happy, but I never expected that Young Master Peng would lose his parents at such a young age..."
"Even if Master Peng wants to commit suicide for love, he should at least wait until Young Master Peng grows up and is capable of protecting himself..."
While passersby were chatting idly, Xiao Yanzi and her friends overheard them. Xiao Yanzi sighed, "Young Master Peng seems to be really having a tough time..."
The parents are definitely true love, the son was an accident!
“Then Miss Murui is much happier. She has been by the young master’s side since she was a child. Everyone says that she was raised in the young master’s palm.”
"I heard that's the woman he's going to marry..."
"No way? There really are people who snatch their wives home before they're even grown up?"
"I really envy her. Young Master Peng is handsome and dashing, and skilled in both literature and martial arts. She is so lucky to be with him!"
"I wonder what good deeds she did in her past life to have met Young Master Peng..."
Such words also reached Xiao Yanzi's ears, and she felt a little uncomfortable listening to them. "Look at how they keep praising that Young Master Peng, as if it's a blessing for Mu Rui to be with him. But since Mu Rui can catch Young Master Peng's eye, she's probably not an ordinary person, is she?"
“What you say is true, young master Peng seems to be a smart man. He wouldn’t do a losing deal. Miss Murui should be able to match him in terms of social standing and background!”
