"Memorizing is not fun at all. I want to wield a sword and venture into the martial arts world. Only my mother loves me and helps me cover up and lets me leave the house."

Yan Yuqi felt aggrieved. Greatgrandfather and father both loved her sister, and would not punish her severely even if she did something wrong.

"Wandering around the world with a sword? Not bad, you will definitely become as powerful as Brother Yan Sheng in the future."

"Sister Minming really understands me. From now on, I will be a hero, and I don't want to be an official in the court."

Min Ming looked at Yan Yuqi's determined eyes and said, "Okay, Sister Min Ming supports you."

Yan Yuqi nodded excitedly, and obediently practiced the dodging moves that Yan Sheng taught him, and even pulled Ah Huang to practice with him.

It was just dawn, and the pale blue sky was still dotted with a few sparse stars, but the Yan Mansion had already begun to get busy.

The Yan Mansion was filled with joy. A red carpet was laid on the floor of the birthday hall, and Old Man Yan sat in the first seat wearing his longevity clothes.

Leng Yanan and Yan Nangui sat on the left and right sides of Old Man Yan. Old Man Yan had not celebrated his birthday for more than ten years.

No one else was invited to the birthday party except Leng Yanan and the Yan family.

Old Master Yan said with a smile, "Today is both a birthday and a family dinner, so just be casual."

"Grandpa, Ning'er, I wish you good fortune as vast as the East Sea and a long life as great as the Southern Mountains." Yan Sining presented a string of Buddhist beads.

"Grandpa will like whatever Ning'er gives him."

Leng Yanan asked Xiaoqiu to take out the pine and crane jade ornaments, "Grandpa, I wish you a long life and a happy life."

"Okay, okay, An An's coming to Qingzhou to visit grandpa is the greatest gift for grandpa." Grandpa Yan said kindly.

Leng Yan'an chuckled and said, "If grandpa doesn't find Yan'an annoying, then Yan'an will come to Qingzhou to see you often in the future."

"How could Grandpa find you annoying? If An An can come every day, Grandpa will be very happy. An An, try this square peach cake. It is a specialty cake of Qingzhou."

With a smile, Old Master Yan placed a plate of exquisite square peach cake in front of Leng Yan'an.

"Square peach cake? I have to try it. This cake is not available in the capital."

Leng Yanan gently picked up a piece of square peach cake and took a bite. "It's sweet but not greasy, and melts in your mouth. It's really delicious."

Old Master Yan's eyes turned slightly. This was Yaoyao's favorite cake back then. When she went to the capital, she still talked about wanting to eat Qingzhou's square peach cake.

"An An, if you like it, eat a few more pieces." Old Master Yan's eyes were a little red.

Leng Yanan saw that Mr. Yan was thinking of his daughter Yan Jinyao, "Thank you, Grandpa. You eat too."

"Okay." Old Master Yan also picked up the square peach cake and started eating.

Yan Sining sat down below, looking at the food she usually liked to eat on the table, but she had no appetite at all.

Seeing Old Man Yan and Leng Yan'an talking and laughing, Yan Si Ning felt like she had fallen out of favor, because her great-grandfather used to love her the most.

Everything changed since Leng Yan'an came. Great-grandfather was taken away by Leng Yan'an, and daddy often tried to please her.

Isn't she just the daughter of the prime minister, who came from the capital? What's so great about it? Everyone in the Yan Mansion is circling around Leng Yan'an.

And there is Yan Yuqi. I haven’t seen him at home for a while. That kid sneaked out again.

Yan Nangui's wife paced in the yard, looking towards the door from time to time.

Seeing Yan Nangui coming over, he said anxiously, "Nangui, Xiaoyu hasn't come back yet, has something happened?"

"It's all your fault. Today is grandpa's birthday. How can that brat not be here?" Yan Nangui cursed angrily.

"How did I know Xiaoyu would be gone for so long? She hasn't come back in more than ten days."

Yan Nangui’s wife felt a little guilty. She was the one who secretly let Yan Yuqi out of the house, so she was actually responsible.

"Cousin Yan An has finally come to Qingzhou, but Yan Yuqi hasn't seen her yet." Yan Nangui murmured.

Although the Yan family was in Qingzhou, they still knew something about the news in the capital. Emperor Yu Haotian was preparing to appoint a crown prince.

As the eldest daughter of the prime minister's family, Leng Yan'an will definitely marry into a wealthy family in the future. There is a high probability that she will marry a prince and become a princess.

However, the Yan family gradually declined and had no one they could rely on in the court. Yan Nangui hoped that Yan Yuqi could pass the imperial examinations and win honor for the Yan family.

"Master, Madam, Young Master Yuqi is back." A servant ran over hurriedly.

"Where is Xiaoyu now? Is he injured?" Yan Nangui's wife asked immediately after hearing this.

The servant quickly said, "He is not injured. He is at the gate of Yan Mansion."

Yan Nangui's wife breathed a sigh of relief, "God bless, Xiaoyu is fine."

"That brat actually remembered to come back." Yan Nangui picked up a branch in the yard and walked towards the gate of Yan's mansion angrily.

Seeing that no one could stop Yan Nangui, Yan Yuqi's husband thought that he was going to be beaten this time, so he hurried to find Old Man Yan.

When Yan Nangui arrived at the gate of Yan Mansion, he saw his own brat hiding behind a man who was unparalleled in the world and had an extraordinary temperament.

Yan Sheng looked at Yan Nangui. It seemed that this person was the cousin of his original body, Yan Yuqi's father.

"Who are these people?" Yan Nangui asked with some confusion.

"Young Master, we ran into trouble in Lingzhou. It was these young masters and young ladies who sent me and the young master to Qingzhou." Ah Huang said quickly.

Yan Nangui immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, young master and young lady. Please come in and take a seat first. Let me take care of some household affairs."

"Please do as you wish." Yan Sheng stood aside and did not defend Yan Yuqi.

As soon as they entered the Yan Mansion, Yan Nangui chased Yan Yuqi with a branch and said, "Yan Yuqi, come here."

"No." Yan Yuqi made a face at Yan Nangui.

Yan Nangui was so angry that he went forward to hit Yan Nangui, but he didn't expect that he was dodged by Yan Nangui with a beautiful move.

Yan Yuqi kept dodging and said in a threatening tone, "I can't hit you, I can't hit you."

Yan Nangui saw that his brat had learned these moves from somewhere, and he couldn't hit him for a long time.

"Someone come and catch him. If this brat is not taught a lesson, he will be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth."

Soon, several servants caught Yan Yuqi, and Yan Nangui raised a branch to hit him.

Ah Huang knelt on the ground and said self-reproachfully, "Master, don't blame the young master. The young master is also very filial."

"Shut up, I asked you to protect him, but I didn't ask you to do anything stupid with him."

Yan Nangui hit Yan Yuqi mercilessly, "Yan Yuqi, you are such a rebellious son. You refused to study, sneaked out of the house, and even missed your great grandfather's birthday."

If anything happens to Yan Yuqi, what will the Yan family do? He is the only child in the Yan family.

"Master Yan, stop fighting. Xiaoyu didn't mean to be absent. They encountered robbers in Lingzhou and all their valuables were stolen."

Min Ming couldn't help but speak out when she saw Yan Yuqi, who looked aggrieved and silent, trying hard to hold back tears.

"If it weren't for Uncle Shenxian and Sister Minming, I wouldn't be able to return to Qingzhou, and you hit me." Yan Yuqi said loudly.

"Nan Gui, it's good that Xiaoyu is back. Don't blame him." Old Man Yan walked over with the support of Leng Yan'an.
