The men who went up the mountain to hunt did not come back until three quarters past nine. Kong Xuzhe hurried to help clean up the prey and chatted with the elders, especially the old man and Xiao Jingmin. Yun Yichen also offered his help, but his enthusiasm was far less than Kong Xuzhe's.
The old man always felt that it was a pity for his clever and intelligent granddaughter to marry a cold man like Yun Yichen. Today, when he saw that Kong Xuzhe was enthusiastic and able to get close to him, he also felt that it was not appropriate for his honest and simple granddaughter to marry Kong Xuzhe.
He felt most at ease keeping her by his side. Unfortunately, the idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. His beautiful dream was shattered by Yun Yichen. The old man snorted loudly at the two people who came to make trouble for him, then turned and went to the backyard to accompany his granddaughter. With Yun Yichen here, he thought her stay here would end.
Xiao Yao personally went into the kitchen and cooked braised rabbit meat and mushroom soup. She really wanted to cook a few more dishes for her family to try, but before Yun Yichen could say anything to express his sympathy, she was stopped by the old man and Xiao Jingkang.
Every time Kong Xuzhe met the Xiao family, his opinion of them would be refreshed. If it weren't for the example of Yun Yichen, the prince, and his successful marriage to Xiao Yao, he didn't know if he could hold on or have the courage to face their test.
At the dinner table, Xiao Yao quietly reminded her third aunt to be careful of Kong Xuzhe, as she felt he had no good intentions towards her younger sister. Ever since she was taken away by the "wolf," Xiao Yao was afraid that any unmarried boy would extend his claws to her younger sister.
"No way," Xiao Yuan denied, her cheeks flushed. She didn't dare let her family know that she and Kong Xuzhe were secretly in contact. The whole drawer full of sketchbooks was almost all given by him. She didn't dare admit that she had ever accepted a gift from Kong Xuzhe. Although he said he would accept money, he had never put a single penny into his pocket.
Several elders exchanged glances. Seeing Xiao Yuan's performance, they had nothing to understand. It seemed that after the New Year, they could prepare for the wedding again. The marriage could be delayed for two years if possible. It was still necessary to establish a formal status.
After lunch, the old man mercifully allowed Xiao Yao and Yun Yichen to return to Kyoto. Yun Yichen was a little dazed by the sudden happiness. The old man was so angry at his stupidity that he asked him if he planned to go alone or together.
Of course they left together, Yun Yichen replied quickly. He was really afraid that if he was a little slower, the old man would regret it.
Kong Xuzhe didn't want to leave! But he couldn't stay here alone, so he could only say goodbye to everyone pitifully.
"Ruyi, go and see your cousin and sister off!" Since Yuan Yutong had already accepted Kong Xuzhe as her son-in-law in her heart, she naturally hoped that the two of them would have more interactions. With her niece watching over him, he wouldn't dare to do anything wrong.
Xiao Jun stepped forward, saying he also wanted to send his sister off. After him, Xiao Yu, Xiao Bingwen, and Xiao Binghong all rushed to Xiao Yao's side, their meaning was obvious.
Yun Yichen was already very satisfied to be able to take his little wife away today. He generously gave up his seat, and Xiao Yao was surrounded by several boys as they walked out. Kong Xuzhe, of course, understood what Yuan Yutong meant, and he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and walked happily beside Xiao Yuan.
The carriage had traveled a distance when Xiao Yao knocked on the wall. She had something very important to discuss with her family. Should she go back or continue? She looked at Yun Yichen in embarrassment.
"What's wrong?" Because of the annoying Kong Xuzhe who kept holding him and expressing his joy, Yun Yichen couldn't get into the car as usual. When he was feeling depressed, he heard the signal from Xiao Yao and rode to her side to ask.
Xiao Yao leaned out of the car window and explained, "I forgot something very important. Can I go back to the villa?"
Yun Yichen shook his head. That wouldn’t work. We had finally gotten the person out, so there was no point in sending him back.
"Actually, I think it's not impossible to go back." Kong Xuzhe agreed with Xiao Yao's suggestion. Now he can stay overnight if he goes back. If he is lucky, he can even take a walk under the moon with Xiao Ruyi. It's really exciting!
"Shut up." Yun Yichen wished he could whip Kong Xuzhe. He shouldn't have agreed to go with him out of soft-heartedness.
Yun Yichen dismounted, threw the reins to Xiao Anzi, and got into the carriage amid Kong Xuzhe's surprised and envious look, preparing to comfort his young wife personally, and at the same time to find out what the "important thing" she was talking about was.
Bullying people, no, bullying bachelors, you two squeeze into the same car in broad daylight, okay? He turned around to see the reaction of Yun Yichen's men, okay! They were calmer than each other, it seemed that this guy had done this kind of thing many times. Seeing this scene, he wanted to get married sooner!
Xiao Yao was speechless when she saw Yun Yichen suddenly getting into the carriage. There are people outside. Can you please pay attention to the impact?
Now that he was here, Xiao Yao probably wouldn't leave unless she explained everything clearly, so she had no choice but to lower her voice and express her thoughts.
It turned out that Xiao Yao wanted to use these few days to discuss Xiaofu and Xiaohui's marriage with Tong Mingyu. Xiaofu's family had already arranged a marriage for her. If Xiao Yao hadn't gotten married this year, Xiaofu would probably have been married by now.
Xiao Yao didn't want to delay her lifelong event, so she thought of asking her family to notify Xiao Bing, set a date, and let Xiaofu get married.
Xiaohui's parents are tenants of the villa. They had long entrusted their daughter's marriage to Tong Mingyu and Xiao Yao. Tong Mingyu fell in love with Qingshan, Xiao Jun's long-time servant, and also took Xiaohui's parents to meet him. Both sides had no objections.
Both of these people are older than herself. Xiao Yao hopes that they will get married soon and not waste their time because of her.
I thought my wife would help the maids find candidates in Prince Jing's Mansion! I didn't expect her to send them all back to the Xiao family. Those two maids grew up with her, she must be reluctant to let them go!
Xiao Yao gave Yun Yichen a reason that left him speechless: "Men in our Xiao family never take concubines. I can't keep them both in the palace."
There are also palaces that don't accept concubines, right? You already have one by your side, can't you see it?
Yun Yichen approached Xiao Yao and said aggrievedly, "You say that, and I'm going to be sad. But it's your right to marry them off wherever you want. I'll go back with you some other day. If we go back to Villa now, we won't be able to get back to Kyoto in the evening."
Then she could just stay. Fearing that Yun Yichen would "punish" her, Xiao Yao had to keep her mouth shut. It seemed that this matter could only be discussed later. It was all her fault. She had been so busy reuniting with her family these days that she had forgotten about the maid's lifelong affairs.
"Hey! I'm telling you guys to stop. I'm still here! Can you please be a little more considerate?" Kong Xuzhe could have walked away with a lot of discretion, but he didn't want to. Why should he be alone while they were all so affectionate? No, he had to sabotage it. If he wasn't happy, they wouldn't be either.
Yun Yichen resisted the urge to strangle Kong Xuzhe and got out of the car. The two drove side by side and returned to Kyoto without any further communication.
One night a few days later, the Jing Palace had set up dinner and was waiting for Yun Yichen to come back to eat together. Xiao Anzi came back and reported, "The prince is having dinner with the fifth and seventh masters of the Mu family outside and will not be coming back for dinner."
While Xiao Yao was still trying to recall who "Seventh Young Master" was, Yun Ruonan's face suddenly turned red. She lowered her head and said nothing.
King Jing and his wife sighed. They had originally wanted to keep their daughter for a few more years, but they hadn't expected her to... Never mind. Since she's determined, let's just grant her wish.
In the evening, Yun Yichen came back staggering after drinking. He couldn't drink much to begin with, and when he was outnumbered, it was inevitable that he would get drunk.
Xiao Yao took the handkerchief handed to him by the maid and wiped his face and hands, complaining that Brother Mu Fengwu was too much. At this moment, she had already realized who the Seventh Master of the Mu Family was. Wasn't he the opponent she had defeated before? She would never let him off easily when they met again.
"My wife is still the best." Yun Yichen hugged Xiao Yao's waist and put his head on her chest to listen to her heartbeat. This sound could calm him down and was more beautiful than music.
"Let go!" Xiao Yao blushed and tried to push him away, but the maids were still there. "This guy is getting more and more shameless." Xiao Hui and the others bowed their heads and left the room. They had originally wanted to stay and help the young lady take care of the son-in-law. They really didn't want to see the young couple hugging each other. In the current situation, the young lady could only suffer on her own.
"Asshole Mu Fengyang, when I meet him one day, I will make him embarrassed in public."
Yun Yichen shook his head in Xiao Yao's arms. They were almost a family, so why would he still want revenge? He said vaguely, "No need. We're almost a family, so why would we still bother with those things?"
What did she mean by family? Xiao Yao thought about it for a long time but still couldn't understand. When she wanted to ask again, she found that Yun Yichen had fallen asleep in her arms.
The next day, after Yun Yichen woke up, Xiao Yao shook him and asked him what she meant by what she said last night. "Did I say anything last night? I don't remember!" Yun Yichen said jokingly while admiring her eager look.
Xiao Yao straightened her clothes and was about to go out. Forget it, she went to ask her mother herself.
Yun Yichen stretched out his arm and pulled Xiao Yao back. He drank too much last night and fell asleep just like that. It was a big loss for him.
He put his arm around the slender waist of the person next to him, one hand touched the belt, and the other hand began to wander around her back, his mouth still coaxing: "Do you want to know what it means? Come closer, hug me, and I will tell you."
As soon as she saw his eyes, she knew what this man was planning. Xiao Yao, who had been fooled many times, how could she not understand his intention? She struggled to get out of bed.
How could they miss such a delicious treat right before their mouths? Yun Yichen turned the tables and gained the upper hand. While busy with his own work, he also helped Xiao Yao clear up her confusion: "Mu Fengyang is indeed talented. Even the Grand Secretary praised his articles. Ruonan read a collection of notes and poems written by him before the New Year and praised them highly. The Mu family also came to inquire about the situation. If Mu Fengyang can obtain a degree in the imperial examination next spring, this marriage will basically be a done deal."
Yun Ruonan married Mu Fengyang. At that moment, Xiao Yao felt that the world was so small and mysterious. Could this be fate... "Ah!" It was not until she felt a strange feeling in her body that Xiao Yao realized that she had been fooled by Yun Yichen again.
This bastard would use some things to distract himself whenever he wanted to rebel, so as to achieve his goal. Others still called him a gentleman, but Xiao Yao said that he was actually a black-bellied villain.
