Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Chapter 264: Catkins Knows Engagement

In the main room, Liu Donglai had not yet recovered from his daughter's reaction. Xu Ruolan and Ye Miaoyin were the first to figure it out.

Xu Ruolan looked at her daughter with a complicated look in her eyes.

She is a woman, so she naturally looks at things more carefully than Liu Donglai, a rough man. The fact that Mu Lingxuan agreed to the engagement without hesitation, and the child's attitude towards them when he returned this time, is enough to show that Mu Lingxuan himself is also happy with this marriage.

Although my daughter is not even eight years old yet, time is merciless and she may grow up in the blink of an eye.

Regardless of family background, the Mu family has strict family education and a family rule that prohibits taking concubines. As for Mu Lingxuan himself, his appearance is impeccable. In addition, he is polite and prudent at a young age, and there is no news that he has been involved with any woman.

It is said that the more a mother-in-law sees her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Xu Ruolan has this mentality now. She feels that apart from Mu Lingxuan, there is no one more suitable for her daughter.

Ye Miaoyin also looked satisfied. Compared with Xu Ruolan and the others, she knew Mu Lingxuan better. One was her apprentice, and the other was her late husband's apprentice. They seemed a perfect match no matter how you looked at them.

"Baoer, you don't object?" Liu Donglai finally reacted.

"Why do you object? Dad, let's not talk about anything else and be realistic. Tell me, besides Brother Huai Jin, who else can withstand the pressure from that person?" Liu Xu asked back.

Liu Donglai was speechless when asked. Of course, it was for this reason that he asked Mu Lingxuan for help in the first place.

But now, thinking of his daughter's reaction just now, he felt a little regretful. He felt like the cabbages he grew were about to be eaten away by pigs.

So, Liu's father muttered, "It's not that there is no such thing. As far as I know, the great-grandson of Grand Tutor Ge is only twelve years old. It is said that he is also a handsome man. He can read at the age of three and compose poems at the age of six. He is known as a child prodigy at such a young age."

"Old Tutor Ge is taking a concubine!" Before Liu Xu could say anything, Ye Miaoyin took over the conversation.

"Well, the grandson of the old prime minister is said to be very talented and looks like Pan An."

"That child is Huai Jin's cousin, and has been Huai Jin's little follower since he was young. And..." Ye Miaoyin paused, glanced at everyone, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Liu Xu's family of three was very confused.

"And Song Zhili looks 70% like my junior brother, but his personality is like that of a little old man." Han Duoduo took over.

Song Zhili, thirteen years old, is the only son of Mu Lingxuan's uncle and niece Xiao Gu. Rather than saying that he looks like Mu Lingxuan, it is better to say that he looks like Mu Lingxuan's mother.

Liu Donglai: ...

It seems that his daughter can only hang herself on this tree!

Liu Donglai was listless and didn't want to talk. Everyone in the room was talking about women, and he was weak!

"Okay, my daughter is just engaged, and it's still a long way to go before getting married! If you are like this now, I wonder what you will do in the future!" Xu Ruolan said with a smile.

"Dad, you've praised Brother Huaijin a lot in the past!" Liu Xu added.

Liu Donglai: ...I want to be alone!

"I have watched Huai Jin grow up since he was a child. I have no objection if Xu'er marries him!" Ye Miaoyin said lightly.

Xu Ruolan also nodded: "I think that kid is great too. When we first met, we had just separated. Xu'er was still covered in injuries and our family was very poor, but that kid didn't dislike her at all. Later, when Xu'er got into trouble, he was the one who led people to the Langya Village to rescue her."

"Yeah, Brother Huaijin saved my life again today. If it weren't for his quick action, our family would have to treat the whole village to a banquet!" Liu Xu said something she shouldn't have said accidentally.

"What? What's going on?" When Liu Donglai heard this, he stopped being confused and asked anxiously.

The other people in the room also looked anxious.

Liu Xu shrank her neck, secretly cursing herself for being too talkative, but smiled brightly: "It's... it's nothing, I just... I almost got bit by a snake. But I have martial arts skills, even if Brother Huaijin doesn't take action, I should be able to... avoid it..."

At the end of the speech, seeing the look in the master's eyes, Liu Xu's voice became lower and lower.

The fact is, if it weren't for Mu Lingxuan, her whole life would probably have ended today.

【Doctor Meng: Don’t worry, it won’t end. I’m still here for you! 】

"You kid! Why didn't you tell us when you came back?" Xu Ruolan looked scared.

Liu Dong looked at her several times, and only felt relieved after confirming that she looked normal. "There are many snakes and insects in summer. If you have nothing to do, don't go to the mountains."

"That won't work! Dad, you're throwing the baby out with the bathwater! Wasn't I fine every day last year? This is purely an accident!"

She also wants to get other strains of fungi, so how could she not go into the mountains?

"We still have to go into the mountains. Brother-in-law, I plan to take them sisters into the mountains to practice martial arts in a few days to train Xuer's adaptability." Ye Miaoyin continued.

Liu Xu's behavior just now showed that she was not aware of the approach of danger, which was a taboo for martial artists. It seemed that they had been too indulgent during this period.

For some reason, Liu Xu and Han Duoduo felt a little cold on their backs.

His wife and daughter's master and aunt both thought that this marriage was a good one. Although Liu Donglai still felt uncomfortable, he still took out the engagement jade pendant given by Mu Jingfeng.

"Bao'er, this is the engagement jade pendant that the Duke of Zhenguo prepared for you two. It is a pair of double carp jade pendants. Half is in this box, and the other half is for Huaijin."

Liu Xu happily took it and opened it to find that it was a black jade koi. Both the workmanship and the quality of the jade were top-notch. She didn't hesitate and asked Han Duoduo to help her put it on.

Seeing this, Liu Donglai felt sad again, and then he simply turned a blind eye and turned to his wife, "Our family's engagement token has not been given yet. Huai Jin seems to want Bao Er to prepare it."

"This..."

"Mom, this bag is on me. You forgot what I bought from Jayne."

Xu Ruolan's eyes lit up when she heard that. Yes, those diamonds.

The others looked puzzled, but the mother and daughter said nothing more.

After everything was said and done, everyone dispersed.

Mu Lingxuan in the room has been dumbfounded since he heard what Liu Xu meant. If Xuan Yi had not been watching him, he would have thought that his master had been replaced.

Liu Xu came out of the main room and couldn't help but glance at the west wing. The lights in the room were off and she couldn't see anything, but Liu Xu just felt that Mu Lingxuan was looking at her. Her little face couldn't help but blush and she quickened her pace and left.

Ye Miaoyin and Han Duoduo naturally noticed the person behind the window. They couldn't help but smile and then left.

"Master, Miss Liu has already gone back. Do you... want to rest?" Xuan couldn't help but remind him when he saw Mu Lingxuan still standing at the window.

"Ok!"

Putting away the perverted smile on his face, Mu Lingxuan went back to the inner room as if nothing had happened, took off his shoes and coat and went to bed.

Maybe I was too happy that I didn't close my eyes until midnight.

On the other side, Master Liu Xu and his apprentice returned to Xiyuan, and Ye Miaoyin went back to the house to rest.

Han Duoduo stayed in Liuxu's room, planning to sleep with her tonight.

The two sisters washed up and lay on the bed. Han Duoduo couldn't sleep, so she lay on the bed and asked, "Junior sister, are you really going to marry that ice cube in the future?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should happen!" Liu Xu nodded.

"Don't you think he's boring?" Although Mu Lingxuan is much better than before in the Liu family, he still doesn't talk much under normal circumstances.

"No, you may have misunderstood him. Although Brother Huaijin doesn't talk much, he's not as boring as you say. I think he's quite good."

"Don't you think he is very abstinent? Such a beautiful flower will be mine in the future. It's a beautiful thought." Liu Xu grinned.

Han Duoduo: ...Although she didn't understand the abstinence thing, but Gaoling Flower, does it mean Tianshan Snow Lotus? Mu Lingxuan... Yeah, a bit like that!

"By the way, I've been wanting to ask, uncle, do you mean that the current emperor is Xiao Yanzi?" Han Duoduo asked cautiously. She had been holding this in her heart since just now.

"You didn't know? I thought Master told you!" Liu Xu was surprised.

It has been so long, she thought Ye Miaoyin had already told Han Duoduo.

[Master Ye’s aloof style: I forgot! ]

"Hiss, Junior Sister, do you think he will hold a grudge against me for kicking him? Also, I pinched his face and slapped his head... It's over, will he drag me out and chop me up?"

Han Duoduo looked like she was crying. If she had known he was such a big shot, why would she care about other people's business? T_T
