Xie Yuancheng started throwing a tantrum, almost rolling around in the carriage. I knew he was doing it for my own good, so I took it as a way to build up our relationship.
"Ying'er~ You're deliberately ignoring me~ Humph!" But he's too smart; he figured out my little scheme so quickly.
"Yes, I really like the way the Marquis looks."
I leaned over and got entangled with him. I don't know what Xie Yuancheng was thinking when he stole a kiss from me in the car. I bet he was both happy and excited.
"Ying'er~" Xie Yuancheng tightened his grip on my hand, his eyes practically sparkling with admiration.
I was just about to tell him about the past when the carriage stopped. Xie Yuancheng's eyes changed the most; one second he was full of affection, and the next second his expression changed.
"Yuancheng, ask him first before you speak." I grabbed his arm. It wasn't the driver's fault, so don't get angry.
"I know, wait for me in the carriage." As soon as Xie Yuancheng lifted the curtain to go out, I heard the sound of fighting. Before I could even lift the curtain, Madam Hua came to the curtain by the carriage.
"Madam, your Marquis is truly remarkable. Shall we have a detailed discussion?"
"It's you? The Grand Tutor's wife who has mental problems?" When I said she had mental problems, Madam Hua was clearly unhappy. Before she could even jump onto the carriage, I hit her on the head with a stick from inside.
I went outside with a stick, and these people in gray clothes appeared out of nowhere; even the horses were paralyzed with fear. When I saw a few people coming towards me, I just started hitting them with the stick.
This is a hockey stick made by Xie Yuancheng. He originally intended it for playing polo when he went out, but with so many people, it was easy to hit someone. So Xie Yuancheng changed it to hockey sticks, which are simpler than baseball, as you don't need to attack so many bases. It's also good exercise, and both men and women can play it.
Hua's expression became quite interesting. She was too self-righteous, always assuming that we could talk about time travel. I am originally from the Great Zhao Dynasty, and no matter what, I can't be the person she wants.
"You two are going too far!" Hua grabbed the baseball bat from my hand and threw it aside. I snorted. The villain is the one who complains first.
"You've gone too far. Tomorrow night, the people of Linyang will be lighting lanterns. You destroyed the platform and even attacked my husband and me. If the Grand Tutor finds out your true colors, I wonder if he'll banish you."
"Hehe, I'm not an ancient woman who has to rely on men to support her. You've been here for so long that you don't remember any of the good things about modern times."
"What ancient or modern? I come from a military family. If you keep spouting nonsense, I won't care whether you're the wife of the Grand Tutor or not."
“That’s perfect. This lady’s position is too frustrating. Even if I hurt you, the Empress Dowager will help me settle this matter.”
Hua Shi began to make her move. I hadn't brought my Phantom Sword, so I could only dodge. I had just turned around when I bumped into Xie Yuancheng's arms. As soon as he swung his Xuan Tie Sword, a scar appeared on Hua Shi's face.
"Mother!" It was Fatty Sweetie's voice. She was only six years old, and she could already ride a horse?
Just as Madam Hua was about to make another move, the Grand Tutor's voice came over, "Madam, you've had another attack!"
This family is truly bizarre. I looked not far away and saw that all the people in gray clothes were lying on the ground, almost everyone had some kind of injury. Hua Shi not only had a sword cut on her face, but also sword marks on her wrists and below her neck.
The Grand Tutor dismounted with surprising speed; could the two of them have conspired together? Fatty Sweetie said Xie Yuancheng had hurt her mother, and when he rode his horse to trample her, the horse had barely lifted its hooves when it rolled over.
Hua turned over to pick up Fatty Sweetie, otherwise she would have rolled right up to the horse's belly. Xie Yuancheng recounted Hua's actions at the Marquis's mansion with a blank expression, while the Grand Tutor's face turned red and white as he listened.
“Lord Anle, please forgive us. We were indeed instructed by the Empress Dowager. We will return today and will not harm you.”
"There's something else." I went straight to the story of time travel that Madam Hua had told me. The Grand Tutor bowed again: "My wife is exceptionally talented and is indeed not from this dynasty. She has a bad temper and has never suffered any hardships. Please forgive her, Madam Marquis."
“You two are too strange. Although my father is no longer General Ji, she has repeatedly harmed us. Article 9, Chapter 12 of the Great Zhao Law states that if an inferior defies his superior, the superior may execute him first and report later.”
I was indeed angry. She's constantly being lectured at home. If Ms. Hua wants to find someone she can get along with, she needs to be clear about who that person is. We don't want to have too much of a relationship with her, so she resorts to underhanded tactics, thinking she can get her way. She was wrong from the start.
"Please forgive me, Lady Marquis." The Grand Tutor tugged at Fatty Sweetie, and the little one, who was still smug, turned pale with fright and knelt down as well.
Hua looked at me in disbelief. It was her fault to begin with. We didn't want to share our secrets with others. Who knows if she was sent by someone who was hostile to Xie Yuancheng?
Lu Fengjun and Li Ruowei arrived with a group of people. Seeing the scene, the Grand Tutor promised not to say anything reckless after returning. Even if he did say something reckless, he had no evidence; this was a typical case of a guilty conscience.
"You can say whatever you want, it doesn't matter. I settled in Linyang because I wanted the people around here to live well. Although the Grand Tutor's wife was a little out of her mind during your visit, she didn't do anything wrong, so I'll let it go this time. But if I find out again, I won't be so lenient."
Xie Yuancheng asked Lu Fengjun to act as a witness, to record everything that had happened in the past two days, and to send it to the capital that very night for the emperor to review. Fatty Tiantian wanted to roll around and protest her innocence, but she was dragged away by Madam Hua after only uttering one wailing.
They have powerful backers, but they should at least try to be more respectable. Don't always resort to sneak attacks. We're not just doing this because we have nothing better to do than play hide-and-seek with them. Besides, we're not even familiar with them yet.
Li Ruowei came over and took a look, then told us to go to the big carriage. The three little ones were all on it, and they couldn't stop laughing when they saw us come in.
"Mother~ Was it Sweetie who bullied Uncle just now? She's so annoying, and she keeps asking me if there are any strange people in the manor."
"Yan'er, when did she ask you that?" Li Ruowei's eyes hardened. Yan'er swallowed hard, and Su Ling followed her.
“Mother, when she first came, she asked us how to find Xizhi. When she saw Su Ling with the little silver lock, she tried to snatch it. After I stopped her, she tried to pull our ears, so Su Ling and I beat her up. After that, she became well-behaved and kept asking if there were any strange people hiding in the mansion.”
Yan'er and Su Ling both stepped back. I was about to speak when Xie Yuancheng stopped me. He praised the two little ones, saying that if they encountered someone bullying them in the future, they shouldn't hold back.
Yan'er cautiously glanced at Li Ruowei, and seeing that she was smiling too, she smiled along with Su Ling. It's normal for children to play and fight. I don't know what Hua Shi's reputation is like outside, but in my opinion, it's very bad.
