iration and blurted out, "Could it be that you didn't have the patience to wait before That's why you were so harsh toward me"He gave me a cold look. "What do you think After letting you taste it, I'l...Mu Wanchen's body feeling strange

"No, no." I shook my head. He was with me almost all day. If there was something wrong, there's no way I wouldn't have noticed.

Ms. Xue frowned slightly and tilted her head, giving her a somewhat girlish look.

She noticed me secretly glancing at her and frowned, "What are you looking at You're going to be a mother too, don't act like a child anymore."

"I'm not a child, am I I'm not even twenty yet," I retorted.

Ms. Xue waved her hand and said, "It's not about age. Now that you're going to be a mother, you can't treat things with a playful attitude anymore. You are used to giving orders and acting like a hands-off manager because there are many people here and taking care of you. I won't say anything about other matters, but at least take good care of your own child."

"It sounds like you've taken care of me before..."

"Hmph, if I hadn't ruthlessly sent you out, your home now would be that dilapidated old house in the ghost village! Still blaming me"

"... No, no."

I turned my head and pretended to look at my phone. Actually, during this time, I've been thinking a lot too.

Ms. Xue herself grew up alone in that ghost village, and she had to inherit the family business and guard it there. She didn't want either my sister or I to stay in such a place and repeat her path.

So we are sent out, almost with no connection to us, maybe, perhaps she might have come to see us, however we are oblivious.

In her view, if the time is not right, she wants to sever ties with us to avoid her affairs affecting our normal life. Now that she has openly declared to the country that "there is no one to succeed her," she has slightly relaxed.

In Ms. Xue's family, the traditional view is that the earlier a child is born, the better, as this allows parents to educate their children during their prime years of strength and energy. So when she saw me heavily pregnant, she didn't find it strange at all—she might even have been younger than me when she gave birth to her own children.

"How is Yue'er doing lately She's such a good child, going to school every day and never telling me about her own affairs when I'm around." Ms. Xue frowned.

"Who knows... My sister's mad at me too, probably thinks I'm being too reckless. Everyone else is following along with me, and she's uncomfortable with it, doesn't want to talk to me." I shrugged.

"Are you sisters not on good terms" Ms. Xue's gaze swept over them.

It's not that it's bad, things were fine before. I... after I started dating Mu Wanchen, she probably felt like she should keep her distance to avoid suspicion, so she became a bit distant.

Ms. Xue nodded. "After growing up and starting our own families, we've become a bit distant... Has she not gotten married yet"

"...I'm sorry, society only allows women to marry after the age of 20. Normally, people wouldn't support a student who is still in school getting married." I said helplessly.

She let out a cold snort: "So what Are people in the yin and yang circle normal Why should they follow the rules of ordinary people If you meet a good person, just marry them."

"So, is my dad your soulmate then" I asked with a hint of curiosity.

In my opinion, I think my father is one-sidedly infatuated. To be honest, Ms. Xue looks very beautiful now. Her phoenix eyes, cherry lips, and face like cold jade are captivatingly beautiful. Her beauty is invasive.

It's a mesmerizing kind of beauty.

Although my father was quite handsome in his youth, how could Ms. Xue possibly fall for him with his soft, scholarly disposition

Ms. Xue said coldly, "It's none of your business, children. You'll understand when you're older. It's best not to ask."

Cut...

"Ru Yi ah… the disciples have simmered a medicinal soup. I let it sit for a while before bringing it over, the temperature is just right." As he spoke, my father pushed open the door with the medicinal soup. He wouldn't let the fifth and sixth senior sisters do these little things, he personally attends to his wife.

Ms. Xue took the medicine jar with a faint expression, and said with some disdain, "Are you very free today"

"Huh" My father didn't react.

"You do all these little things yourself Are you free all day You used to say you were so busy, only coming to see me once a month. All lies"

"No, no, no, how could it be fake! I was, I was very busy before, now my disciples have all grown up, Ziyì can act as the head of the family, so I've retired to the second line." My father hurriedly explained.

Ms. Xue raised her eyelids slightly and said, “Ziyì…”

"Yes, you remember this child, don't you He's a good boy—"

"Of course I remember, back then I wanted to cultivate him as my subordinate, but... he was a very independent and determined child. At that time, I felt that this child would be uncontrollable when he grew up, so I abandoned him and chose your female disciple instead." Mrs. Xue said without any hesitation.

My father didn't care at all and muttered, "You have a sharp tongue but a kind heart. I knew it the first time I met you... Even if you say mean things and act tough, you're still well-intentioned... No matter how harsh you are, I'll never divorce you. Even if you want to leave me, I won't admit it!"

My goodness... Dad, you're such a wimp...

I can't take it anymore. After my dad came in, he didn't even look at me. I don't even want to complain about this heartless father of mine anymore. I put away my phone and was about to leave. I can't stay here either, the whole house is full of pink dog food and I can't eat it.

As soon as I stepped out the door, I heard Ms. Xue say, “Since that's the case, does my speaking here still count”

Of course, I can count it! You're my wife, Yue'er and Luo'er's biological mother, and the master of my disciples. How could I not count it

"Well then, I see that Zi Yi is of age now, and Xiao Yue'er is still unmarried. Let's arrange their marriage as soon as possible."

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa! That much courage (expertise)!

I immediately took a step back, glancing from the doorway into the inner room.

Through the gap between the screen and the gauze curtain, Ms. Xue's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she looked straight at me.

What am I doing

"Eh Although I'm happy that ZiYi and XiaoYue'er are together, this is ultimately a matter for the young. If they want to be together, they should come tell me, and I'll certainly give my blessing and arrange the wedding properly... But, I can't rush into marrying off my daughter either! I, I have to maintain the dignity of a master and father-in-law, right" Dad said with embarrassment.

It's said that giving a daughter in marriage is the biggest worry for most fathers, as painful as cutting away flesh.

Ms. Xue's gaze remained fixed on me as she chuckled softly, "You men are in charge, your minds are as thick as wooden pillars. If our youngest daughter were still unmarried, there wouldn't be such urgency. But now that our youngest is about to become a mother, and the eldest daughter's marriage is still undecided, how would that make our eldest daughter feel"

Besides, this matter should be settled. Young people have many thoughts and are prone to overthinking and indecisiveness. It's better for us elders to help out and prevent… complications from arising overnight. " Mrs. Xue's tone held a hint of eerie amusement.

Her eyes were still meeting mine, was she saying this to me

I feel a little strange…g wits and bravery! Just say if you're afraid!I walked out and said to Jiang Qiyun, "One has run away. Let's go uphill and take a look."He chuckled softly and nodded, then his gaze swept past me to fi...
