Han Dongyu was quite pleased to hear Sisi praise her looks. "My father always felt that my mother was not good enough for her. He would rather people say he was unfaithful than divorce my mother. When my grandfather was alive, my father would still inquire about my brother's studies. After my grandfather died, my father ignored my brother and me."
“After my stepmother gave birth to a son for my father, my father would avoid me and my brother whenever he saw us.”
Sisi thought to herself: If I were your maternal grandfather, I would choose a good-looking son or grandson and send him to your grandfather's house to study. If the son or grandson is successful, the girls in the family will naturally be able to marry well and won't be mistreated.
Marriage is neither cost-effective nor a good test of one's character.
Sisi looked at Han Dongyu and said, "Your father is such a coward. He doesn't dare to defy your grandfather, so he takes his anger out on you and your mother."
"Yes." Han Dongyu helped her brother wash his face and then returned the water bag to Sisi. Her brother was quite handsome too. "Sixth Miss, where are you going?"
"Let's go to the Temple of the Old Man Under the Moon."
"..." Is the sixth young lady going to the Temple of the Matchmaker to pray for marriage at such a young age?
Speaking of the Temple of the Matchmaker, Sisi remembered something. "Are you engaged yet?"
"No. When my grandfather was alive, he did want to arrange a marriage for me. But none of the men he liked wanted to be related to my mother. After my grandfather died, no one took care of me."
"Didn't your mother care about you either?"
“My mother thinks that the marriage that the Han family found for me is better than the one she found for me.”
"..." Your mother is so naive. "Are you hungry? If you are, eat something first, and then you can leave. We only brought one horse with us when we came out."
I'm hungry.
"Eat if you're hungry." Sisi gave Han Dongyu a few more steamed buns.
"Thanks."
"Let's eat. Let's go for a stroll over there."
"good."
After Sisi and Lao Hei left, Han Dongyu gave her younger brother a steamed bun. "We won't have to go hungry anymore."
Han Junyu's eyes immediately reddened. "Sister, you're so smart."
"We were just lucky."
Han Junyu wiped away his tears. "Sister, do you think Grandpa is protecting us?"
"No." Han Dongyu didn't want her younger brother to have any attachment to the Han family. "Our good luck is all earned through our own hard work. If we hadn't dared to fight those who wanted to steal our food and trade us for grain, we would have died long ago."
Han Junyu thought about it and realized it was true. If they hadn't dared to fight those people, they wouldn't have made it this far, and if they hadn't made it this far, they wouldn't have met Miss Six and that Black Master. "Sister, that Black Master looks really scary."
"Grandmother has a kind and gentle face, but she still abandoned us when she was fleeing for her life."
"..."
Han Dongyu took a bite of her steamed bun. "Although that man in black looks quite intimidating, the way he looks at Miss Liu is just like how my uncle looks at us. That man in black is probably kind-hearted despite his fierce appearance."
Hearing the words "elder uncle," Han Junyu felt like crying again. "Sister, tell me, where is eldest uncle now?"
Han Dongyu didn't know either. However, "We're all fine, so Uncle must be fine too. Uncle is much stronger than us. Let's eat quickly, we still have to keep going after we've eaten our fill."
"Hmm. Sister, tell me, is Sixth Miss more capable or Eldest Uncle more capable?"
"Sixth Miss is amazing."
"Why?"
"I don't know either, I just think the Sixth Miss is better than the Eldest Uncle. Eat up."
"oh."
On the other side, Sisi and Lao Hei were also talking about Chao Dongyu and Han Junyu.
Sisi looked at Lao Hei and asked, "What do you think of those two siblings?"
"Pretty good. Smart enough, bold enough, ruthless enough."
Sisi thought so too. "Then let's send someone to investigate their background."
"Um."
Sisi and Lao Hei strolled around for a while and then came back.
When they returned, Han Dongyu and Han Junyu had already eaten.
Han Dongyu looked at Sisi and said, "Sixth Miss, we're full."
"Then let's go."
"good."
As Sisi led the two siblings toward the Temple of the Matchmaker, she chatted with them, asking, "What books have you two read?"
After they told Sisi what books they had read, Sisi tested them. They answered quite well. Sisi praised them a few times.
Old Hei asked them how exactly they killed those eight people.
Three days later, Sisi and her group strolled over to the Temple of the Matchmaker.
Even immortals have a hard time in chaotic times.
The Temple of the Matchmaker was covered in dust.
Han Dongyu immediately started tidying up upon seeing this.
Seeing how hard Han Dongyu was wiping the table, Lao Hei tried to get her some water.
It's much easier to wipe after you have water on it.
Han Dongyu smiled at Lao Hei. "Thank you." She knew it; Lao Hei was all bark and no bite.
Old Hei grunted in agreement and went to feed the horses.
As Han Junyu helped his sister wipe the table, he thought to himself: His sister was right after all, Blackie really does look fierce.
After Han Dongyu and Han Junyu cleaned up the Yue Lao Temple, Sisi took out the incense, candles, and offerings that Shi Fengchan had prepared for them.
After arranging everything, Sisi kowtowed to the God of Love.
After kowtowing, Sisi looked at the Matchmaker and said, "Do you want to wear gold clothes in the future? If so, find a good wife for Lao Hei."
The Matchmaker: "..." I thought you were going to say that if I didn't find that evil god a good wife, you would smash up my little temple.
Sisi had considered saying that, but in the end, she decided to try diplomacy first and then resort to force.
Han Dongyu was surprised that Lao Hei wasn't married yet; she had assumed Lao Hei's son was old enough to be buying wine for him. "Sixth Miss, what kind of daughter-in-law do you think is a good daughter-in-law?"
"Old Hei likes good wives. Let's go."
"good."
Old Hei was stroking the horse when Sisi came out with Han Dongyu and Han Junyu. Old Hei keenly noticed that Han Dongyu's gaze towards him was different from before.
Old Hei said coldly, "It was her mother who forced us to come, not us who wanted to come. I..." Old Hei wanted to say that he didn't want to get married, but he changed it to "I don't believe in these things" before he could finish.
Han Dongyu couldn't help but laugh. "Brother Hei, are you shy?"
Old Hei glared at Han Dongyu. Why would he be shy? He just didn't want her to think he was in a hurry to get married.
Han Dongyu's smile widened. "Sixth Miss, Master Hei is glaring at me."
Sisi climbed onto the horse's back. "It's a miracle he didn't slap you off. Let's go, let's go back." They'd been away for several days; her mother must miss them, and she might not be looking down on them anymore.
Thousands of miles away, Grandma Han was chatting with her sister-in-law when the housekeeper rushed in. "Grandma, a military officer has arrived. He said... he said his surname is Ning. He said... he heard you were here and wanted to see his nephew and niece."
Grandma Han's expression changed instantly. "Is he wearing a soldier's uniform or a general's uniform?"
"The general's."
Oh no! "You...you should invite him to the living room first."
"yes."
