The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 597 Denial
The chubby boy, nicknamed Xiao Feng, quickly came over, his eyes even more excited as he looked at A Yu: "Wife, you know martial arts? Hehe, if you do, I'll add another thousand taels to the betrothal gift!"

"Xiao Feng, you mustn't be so rude!" Zao'er frowned, trying to dissuade Xiao Feng.

Xiao Feng retorted, "Who do you think you are? Who are you lecturing? Get out of my way!" Xiao Feng raised his hand, about to knock down the dates.

"Young Master Sun, Young Master Zao'er!" The shopkeeper finally rushed upstairs and saw the two men looking tense. He felt a headache coming on. "My shop's profits are meager. I beg you two young masters to be lenient and stop making a scene here. Just give this old man some face, okay?"

Zao'er was about to apologize to the shopkeeper, but Xiao Feng was unmoved: "What face do you have, you old man? Don't delay my wedding."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Ayu.

Everyone around was startled, fearing they might offend this young master.

This is the capital city. Anyone who dares to be so arrogant and domineering must have a powerful or influential family. Didn't you see how polite the shopkeeper was?

Therefore, the onlookers only cast sympathetic glances at Ayu and the others, who were obviously outsiders, probably sending their family members to take the exam and would be returning home soon.

There's no need to stand up for people like that; it's just asking for trouble.

Many who wanted to help mediate were held back by those around them.

Someone whispered, "Don't mess with them, they're from the Duke of Anguo's mansion."

Everyone else gasped when they heard the name of the Duke of Anguo's mansion.

There are many noble families in Dachang Kingdom. In Wanning City alone, there are about a hundred families with various titles, but only six can be considered "Duke". Among them, the Anguo Duke's Mansion and the Yongguo Duke's Mansion are the most prominent.

The Duke of Yongguo's mansion holds a high position and wields great power, but it is very low-key and reserved, and nowadays it almost never enters the imperial court.

The Duke of Anguo's mansion was different. Its disciples were all over the world, and there was also a carefree prince living in the mansion. The carefree prince acted eccentrically and was rumored to be a ruthless killer. No one dared to provoke them.

When people around heard the words "Duke Anguo's Mansion," they thought to themselves: This seemingly beautiful and well-behaved little girl is probably doomed.

What a pity. What a pity.

Xiao Feng was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, especially their anger that they dared not speak out, which greatly pleased him.

He beckoned to Ayu with a flirtatious gesture: "Wife, come here, I'll take you home. Our house is huge, you can change courtyards every day."

Ayu retorted, "You little brother, you're so unreasonable! What kind of wife are you calling me without any explanation?"

She answered with composure and grace, showing no embarrassment whatsoever at the mention of "wife," but instead looked at Xiaofeng with a disapproving expression.

Xiao Feng was stunned, then became angry: "I call you my wife, so you are my wife! As my wife, you will not only have no worries about food and clothing, but you will also be granted an imperial title in the future. I'm telling you, this is something you have to accept!"

Zao'er's expression was restrained, but she still said in a low voice, "Xiao Feng, stop making trouble, or I will report to the Emperor Taizu, and don't blame me then."

"You good-for-nothing, what else can you do besides complain? If you're so capable, then go ahead and complain! Let's see what you, an unwanted concubine, have to use to sue me!" Xiao Feng was really annoyed. "When I found a wife, the Emperor was overjoyed. Isn't such a beautiful wife better than that ugly woman from the Grand Commandant's mansion?" The Grand Commandant's mansion!
Everyone was shocked again. This person actually had a marriage alliance with the Grand Commandant's family, yet he still looked down on them?
There is indeed a rumor about the daughter of the Grand Commandant's family that she is ugly and has no face. However, it is said that she was adopted from outside the family, and it has been three years now.

Seeing him speak like that, Ayu felt even more disgusted: "Judging by appearances and not by substance, that's really vulgar."

[...] The brat has probably forgotten that the only reason she liked to stick to Qin Huai was because he was good-looking.

If Qin Huai were ugly, she wouldn't necessarily be disgusted, but she would definitely not try to win him over.

Xiao Feng was unhappy after being criticized by A Yu, so he took his anger out on Zao Er.

"It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing, for ruining my plans!" Xiao Feng took two steps forward, grabbed two teacups from A Yu's table, and was about to smash them at Zao'er.

Unexpectedly, he grasped the teacup but couldn't lift it.

Looking again, he saw that the two elderly people sitting at the table, who hadn't said a word, were staring at him coldly.

The old lady, holding chopsticks, casually placed them on his wrist, rendering him unable to move.

Xiao Feng: "?"

At that moment, he suddenly realized.

This old lady actually knows martial arts!

Zao'er also looked over. He first looked at Old Mrs. Wang and felt that her features were indescribably kind. But before he could say anything, Old Mrs. Wang stood up.

"Let's go, I've lost my appetite."

Old Wang also stood up and protected Ayu as they went downstairs.

Grandma Wang put down her chopsticks, gave Xiao Feng a deep look, and said, "Little Fatty, be careful what you say."

Xiao Feng: "!"

Feeling a sharp pain in his wrist, he looked at Zao'er with a look of horror.

Did they stop him from hurting Zao'er twice because they know each other?
I worked overtime for the entire National Day holiday, and I saw the sunrise for the whole holiday (capitalists are smiling.jpg). My heart was pounding the other day, and the capitalists were terrified. They realized that killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not a good idea, and told me to rest well for the next two days so I could work on my manuscript.

My editor took pity on me and moved my mini-update to the 18th, hehe.

I've been too busy lately, so I haven't been able to distribute the word count evenly across chapters. Some chapters were combined from three or four previous updates into one. I haven't been lazy!
Thank you to all the readers who tirelessly vote for me every day, and to all the readers who have been voting since the beginning of my story. You are all so kind-hearted, and seeing you makes me feel hopeful about life.

Love you all (heart emoji)
