Either do it or refuse; even if you want to use a roundabout approach, it wouldn't be this obvious.
"Yuwenzi, stop making excuses."
“It was my grandmother’s compassion that prevented me from disobeying her.”
Yuwen Yao sighed helplessly.
"What maternal grandmother?"
Upon hearing Yuwen Yao's words, Yun Shangfu abruptly stood up, looked at Yuwen Yao, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anger, and pointed at him, "You, what are you saying?"
Yuwen Yao smiled slightly, "Reporting to my maternal grandfather, it was my maternal grandmother who instructed me long ago that if I encountered you along the way, I must not obey your orders, no matter what you say..."
"Return what?"
Yun Shangfu's eyes showed a hint of urgency as he stepped forward and stared intently at Yuwen Yao.
“Well, whether it’s the Yun Clan or our own family, it’s all…” Yuwen Yao paused very tactfully, “It’s all her decision-making.”
As soon as Yuwen Yao finished speaking, Yun Shangfu immediately became uncomfortable, and Nan Lingqin also noticed that her grandfather's ears had turned red.
Nan Lingqin was overjoyed. Seeing Yun Shangfu's blushing and slightly guilty expression, she gave Yuwen Yao a thumbs up.
"You son of a bitch, Hu..."
"Old man Yun, what nonsense are you talking about? I told you to come out early to pick people up, but instead you forced them to come and cut down trees in the middle of the night."
Suddenly, a strong female voice rang out in the air.
Yun Shangfu's usually serious face immediately broke into a smile as he looked at a woman who followed him out from a distance. "Madam, what brings you here?"
A woman? Really, a married woman?
Nan Lingqin was somewhat surprised. This lady must be her maternal grandmother, but she looked to be no more than forty years old. She was much younger than her maternal grandfather and was also very beautiful.
The techniques of the Duyun clan are extraordinary; she has truly broadened her horizons now.
More importantly, my maternal grandfather was clearly very afraid of my maternal grandmother.
"You must have been tired and thirsty on your journey. Why didn't you bring any attendants?" Yun Shangfu's previous serious demeanor vanished, and he stepped forward gently, his voice soft and affectionate.
Seriously... they're showing off their love all the time, leaving Nan Lingqin completely stunned.
"I knew you were going to make things difficult for my grandson-in-law. If you hadn't come, this perfect couple would probably have been torn apart by you."
"This is not..."
Yun Shangfu scratched his head and chuckled, "Come on, sit down first."
Nan Lingqin was about to step forward and call out to her maternal grandmother, but unexpectedly, her maternal grandmother had already waved her hand in secret.
Despite being middle-aged, Chen Jiao still wore a sly smile. Nan Lingqin immediately understood, turned around, and pulled Yuwen Yao away using her light-footed skills.
With the main characters gone, what was Xue Ningshuang still doing standing there? She quickly left as well.
Yun Shangfu tried to call out to him, but it was too late.
...
"Wow, you're so cunning."
Along the forest path, the sky was a silvery moon, its light as white as snow. Nan Lingqin tugged at Yuwen Yao, "You played a royal flush!"
"A royal flush?"
Yuwen Yao laughed again. Anyway, Nan Lingqin had used more than just these two new words. He could guess the meaning of most of them. He nodded slightly, "Yes, find a backer." As he spoke, he took Nan Lingqin's hand and gently kissed it.
"Go away, stop trying to fool me, tell me the truth."
Yuwen Yao's jade-like face slowly smiled, his phoenix eyes sparkling in the moonlight as he spoke, "You know cloud magic and have glimpsed the way to open the gate to the Cloud Clan. I am second to you, only a half-baked one, but using cloud magic to transmit my voice and call my grandmother is not a difficult task."
Nan Lingqin suddenly realized, feeling incredibly fortunate, "Fortunately, my grandmother was truly a reasonable person, and just in time..."
Yuwen Yao lowered his voice slightly, a smile playing on his lips, "It seems that the Yun clan has always practiced the principle of wife-led governance."
"Pfft—"
Nan Lingqin couldn't help but laugh. She turned around and glanced around, then glared angrily at Yuwen Yao. "You're lucky. You managed to curry favor with my maternal grandmother. Now you've passed the test, and my unborn child can be saved."
"Yes, Qin'er, don't worry. We've overcome many difficulties, and this child will surely be alright."
Nan Lingqin nodded, then a dark glint flashed in her eyes. She raised her hand and sent a burst of energy towards the bushes a hundred meters away in the shadows.
A very soft groan was heard, and a figure rolled out.
"Who are you? We've been following you for so long, we've had enough of this show."
"Princess Lingqin, spare my life!"
The man immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying, "I am a close guard under the barbarian lord, and I have come to see you two on important business."
"Zhuidamu?" Nan Lingqin's eyes widened in surprise as she looked at the man. "What is it?"
"Our lord would like to ask you two to help find...Sister Shang Ning."
"She's disappeared again?"
The man immediately nodded, "Yes, my lord couldn't find her, so he sent me to Beirong to find you... However, I dare not get too close, so I can only follow you from the shadows."
“An Shangning…”
Nan Lingqin lightly touched her brow. The relationship between her and Zhuidamu was truly a tangled mess.
---Aside---
Okay, the last bit of lingering concern about returning to one's parents' home has been dealt with. The next chapter will focus on Chuidamu and Anshangning. After all that, it's time for a clear ending.
On a side note, it's not that I'm lazy and updating the side stories is slow, it's just that I've been suffering from neurodermatitis lately, it's so itchy, I'm screaming...
Of course, a new article is also in preparation, mwah~
