ddle-aged woman blocking his way, sidestepped her and strode into the room, coming straight towards me."Why have you stayed here for so long" he asked, frowning."This gentleman is the client, and I l...The commotion was too loud, my old man mumbled and roared: "Who's making all the noise"
My senior brother glared at me, but he didn't dare to pull away too hard. He had to just hold onto my wrist and press on my acupoints, making me feel the pain so I would back off.
I grinned and pulled my hand back, jumping down to the landing and finding my sister standing in front of the moonlit doorway, looking at me in surprise.
She immediately understood that I had sneaked away, and I clearly felt her anger.
"Xiaolu, you...you..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak fluently. She walked down the steps and stared at me directly: "I told you not to come and disturb...how did you still, still make such a fuss"
"I..." I don't want to either!
Who knew that Senior Brother would suddenly come back He should have gone home first to pay his respects to my father as usual. He is such a rule-abiding person, even if he were standing outside greeting us, he would definitely come in and pay his respects first.
But I don't care about anything now, my father woke up! He should be able to find Mu Wanchen in the room, right
Mu Wanchen was just a few steps away from him, and even in the dark, you could feel his presence given his size.
I waited with bated breath for my father's exclamation, too preoccupied to answer my sister.
But there was no shouting from my father in the house, instead, with a cold voice, your senior brother startled me.
"... What are you rambling about"
The voice held a hint of anger, he had already suppressed his temper when speaking to me just now, and my sister also mentioned something he was particularly sensitive about. Sigh...
Your senior brother has always been modest and well-behaved, especially towards us two. He dislikes hearing others say that he, as the eldest disciple, covets the family fortune, so he feels very averse to such gossip.
My sister was angry for a moment, and she also knew she had spoken wrongly. At this time, she lowered her head and dared not argue.
I quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Sorry, it's my fault... I just wanted to take a peek secretly, but didn't expect to scare so many people..."
My senior brother didn't even acknowledge me, he just tilted his head and looked at my sister, repeating, "What are you two yapping about"
Uh The atmosphere feels off...
Did he have a fight with my sister
If things are tense between them, I'd best stay out of it. The more I say, the worse it'll get.
"I... I'm going to apologize to Father." I wanted to leave.
As soon as I reached the door, my father flung it open. Standing in the pitch-black doorway, his face was surprisingly calm, devoid of the expected rage.
"What's the matter, Ziyì Why are you angry" My father immediately noticed that Master Jun had an imposing aura.
"...Master." My brother bowed to Father, withdrawing the cold aura he had emitted. "I just got back. I was worried about Master and Mistress's condition, so I came quietly to check on them. I didn't expect my little sister to be in the room already."
My dad nodded. “I know.”
"Huh You know I looked at my father in surprise, this guy is faking sleep!"
Then where is my great wizard
I tiptoed to look behind my father. He was lean but tall, and behind him was a pitch-black expanse where I couldn't see Mu Wanchen at all.
“She wanted to see Ruyi, it's the bond between mother and daughter, so I didn't stop her. Besides, Little Luo's aura wouldn't stimulate Ruyi... After all, Little Luo carried her back. If it was going to stimulate her, it would have done so already.” My father spoke up in my defense.
It seems he's trying to cover for me This guy is so cunning, he must know Mu Wanchen is summoning the blood gu with her magic.
Wishing…
Is this Xue's courtesy name
I can't even remember the name I gave my own wife. Her "freedom" is just too much for me to handle.
Even though Mu Wanchen said she might have her reasons and wanted us to stay away from that world, I still felt like a stranger to her.
Language has spirit because it is infused with human emotion, and this emotion can even reach the divine.
Wishing... little character wishing...
This seemingly tacky pair of characters, why when it comes out of my father's mouth, does it carry an inexplicable air of elegance
In his heart, Ruyi must be his little fairy, right To be so foolishly infatuated for so many years, to be abandoned without a trace of resentment.
I have some "contempt" for my old man, but when it comes to matters of the heart, there's no such thing as respect or hierarchy. There's no logic to it, and what others think doesn't matter. Between two people in love, we never consider that.
Love… Does Ms. Xue really love my father I think my father is just head over heels in love! He’s the kind that's hopelessly devoted.
"How is your shifu's condition now" asked Jun Shidi.
"When she went to sleep today, her complexion looked much better. Her pulse was a little lively just now. Perhaps you guys arguing woke her up." Old Man lied without batting an eyelid.
This old geezer is cunning, he must know what Mu Wanchen did.
"Father, where is Mu Wanchen" I couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
My father glanced at me: “Your husband, you don’t even know where he is At this hour, he should be at your little pavilion.”
Oh... so Mu Wanchen is already gone
The father-in-law and son-in-law work together really well, they even managed to surprise me.
"That..." I pointed my chin inward, "How is she doing"
“What do you mean by that! That’s your own mother, how can you not address her properly” My father glared at me with furrowed brows.
Well, I don't buy it. You said your senior brother threatened me and I still feel guilty Father, you're such a foolish infatuated man, threatening me... I have a feeling that my father has no humanity when it comes to the opposite sex.
"If she doesn't treat me like her daughter, why should I treat her like my mother Everyone talks about the kindness of raising a child, has she raised me" I snorted and said with my chin held high.
“You…” My father was so angry he couldn’t speak. He probably saw Mu Wanchen come to rescue Ms. Xue, and felt embarrassed to scold me. He just muttered, “Go back to your room and rest properly. Don’t cause a scene here. Let's talk about this tomorrow morning.”
I curled my lip, turned to bid goodnight to Jun Shidi, and walked away, ignoring the others.
I feel like only Jun, my brother, and I are close in this household now. The others... My sister is a little bothersome to me right now. She frowns when she sees me, and I don't know what I've done to upset her. But she's on Mrs. Xue's side, unlike me. She doesn't have the same resentment.
My dad doesn't even need to be mentioned. When his wife came back, he didn't want to worry about anything else, completely focused on her.
I didn't need to explain myself to each of them. I immediately ran back to my building. Mu Wanchen was already back, he was wiping the blood from his fingertips with a wet towel from my dressing table.
"You..."
Mu Wanchen turned his head to look at me, then turned back and wiped his hands: "I saw so many people outside the door, I'd better come back first to avoid trouble."
"My old man knows we're in here, he's faking sleep!"
Mu Wanchen chuckled softly: "Well, I know... He should know about your mother's situation, but he's very good at keeping secrets. He's been using all sorts of methods to prolong her life until the right opportunity arises."
"... you are the reason for this encounter."
He wasn't flustered at all, maybe they had been through a lot before, but only others didn't know... He should be very clear about your mother's background. Mu Wanchen hugged me and comforted me softly: "After all, you are family. Even if you don't like your mother, you have to consider your father's feelings. You are pregnant now, it is not good for you to get angry. You should restrain your temper."
"What do you mean Do you think I should be like my sister and father, treating Ms. Xue unconditionally"
"Of course." Mu Wanchen said lightly.
"That doesn't make sense!" I protested.
He gently tapped my belly, a smile playing on his lips: “Filial piety comes first. Your emotions will be passed on to your unborn child. What logic is there in this When it comes to matters of the heart, what logic can apply”tside the door took a step back, seemingly wary of us."Chirp chirp chirp...Uncle, Uncle please show mercy, this servant only came to deliver a message..."
