My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

"Liu Yun, I really can't hold on any longer."

"Hold on, Miss has ordered that you must learn Kung Fu every day from now on."

Chunxi, who was doing horse stance, burst into tears.

Chunxi: “…”

My dear lady!

I'm a maid, not a guard, why should I learn kung fu?

While Chunxi was howling like a wolf and screaming like a ghost, Liu Yunniang was not idle either. She had been practicing the "Biyun Heart Sutra" in the space for the past two days.

"Biyun Heart Method" is a martial art suitable for women to practice. This method focuses on the regulation and circulation of internal energy. Its practice method is gentle and delicate, like the spring breeze blowing gently on the flowers. It is not too strong and radical, which fits the relatively feminine physique of women.

It not only enhances a woman's internal strength, making it continuous and uninterrupted when she is exercising, but also improves her body's flexibility and sensitivity. When fighting with others, the practitioner's posture is light, her steps are agile, and her moves are unpredictable, making it difficult for people to grasp her.

After only two days of practice, Liu Yunniang already felt a faint stream of air slowly flowing through her body.

This airflow seemed to fill her body with a new kind of strength, and even her usual feeling of fatigue was alleviated a lot.

"Mother, why do you want Sister Chunxi to practice martial arts as well?"

Ye Xiaoxiao had always believed that she had traveled through time to a sweet story, where the most she participated in was a family feud. But now the weak mother in this book has become a female knight who can fly over eaves and walls. If even the little maidservant around her has become a female knight with superb martial arts skills, she would really start to doubt whether she had traveled through the wrong book. Could this be a martial arts story?

Liu Yunniang asked Liu Yun to teach Chunxi kung fu, hoping that Chunxi would have a skill to rely on, so that he would have more power to protect himself in this complicated world in the future.

Furthermore, if Chunxi learns Kung Fu, he can help him at critical moments and become his right-hand man.

Needless to say, Liu Qing and Liu Yun are both guards who have followed Dad for many years and were once top-notch fighters in the escort agency.

But later I was rescued by my father, and then I stayed by my father's side and became his bodyguard.

If Chunxi learned kung fu from Liu Yun, if something really happened in the future, a weak woman would be able to protect herself.

"Sister Chunxi has learned Kung Fu. Not only will she not be bullied by bad guys in the future, but she can also protect Xiaoxiao! When Xiaoxiao grows up, she can also learn Kung Fu."

Huh......

Ye Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head.

She doesn't want that. She wants to be a beautiful young lady in ancient times. Forget about kung fu. Well, she just wants to learn some light skills.

At the very least, flying with light Kung Fu looks ethereal and fairy-like, how beautiful!

Liu Yunniang naturally would not force her daughter to learn martial arts. Who can predict what will happen in the future? Maybe she will want to learn it when she grows up.

The morning light shone on the river, making the waves sparkle. The boat that Liu Yunniang and her group were on slowly approached the dock of the capital.

Liu Yunniang held the railing by the side of the boat, looking at the capital city getting closer and closer, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness. The river breeze blew her hair, she squinted her eyes slightly, her mind full of thoughts.

Ye Xiaoxiao ran around on the deck excitedly, her little face full of curiosity and excitement: "Mom, is the capital city big and beautiful?"

Liu Yunniang gently pulled her daughter over and replied with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, the capital is naturally a prosperous place."

As the boat approached, the noise on the dock became clearer and clearer. The boatmen skillfully maneuvered the boats and prepared to dock.

When the ship finally docked steadily at the pier, Liu Yunniang held Ye Xiaoxiao's hand, followed by Liu Qing, Liu Yun, Chunxi and others, and they got off the ship one by one.

The streets were bustling with people and vehicles, carriages and sedan chairs, and a dazzling array of shop signs.

Liu Yunniang looked at this prosperous scene, feeling both longing for the future and a hint of uneasiness in her heart.

"Madam, let's go to Liu's shop first."

Liu Qing said on the side. Liu Yun had already loaded their belongings onto the rented carriage. Chunxi helped her young lady into the carriage, and before she could pick up Ye Xiaoxiao, she saw the little girl climb in by herself.

Chunxi also sat on it.

The group soon arrived at Liu's shop.

The Liu family's shop in the capital is called Su Xiu Pavilion, which specializes in fabrics and ready-made clothes. Its location is a bit remote, but fortunately the main street nearby is busy, so there are some regular customers who come to patronize it.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the shop, I saw Manager Wang pacing back and forth anxiously at the door, occasionally stretching his neck to look into the distance.

When he saw Liu Yunniang and her group, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he quickly took two steps towards them.

Liu Qing and Liu Yun had been to the capital many times with Master Liu, so they were acquainted with Manager Wang. When Manager Wang saw them following a young lady, he knew that it was his own daughter.

"Miss, you are finally here. I have been waiting here for a long time."

Shopkeeper Wang bowed respectfully as he spoke.

Liu Yunniang nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Wang."

Shopkeeper Wang quickly stepped aside and led everyone into the shop: "Madam, please come in. Everything has been cleaned up."

After entering the shop, Liu Yunniang looked around and saw that the store was arranged in an orderly manner, with various fabrics neatly laid out and the ready-made clothes of novel styles.

Shopkeeper Wang introduced: "Madam, our store has recently received a batch of silk from Jiangnan, and several embroiderers have also come up with new patterns, which are all selling well. Wait, let the embroiderers make a few sets of these popular styles in Beijing for you and the young lady."

Liu Yunniang listened with a satisfied look on her face: "Thank you for your hard work, Manager Wang. I am relieved when you do your job."

At this time, Ye Xiaoxiao ran around the store curiously, touching this and looking at that, while Chunxi followed behind her, carefully protecting her.

There were still some customers in the store at that time, so Manager Wang took Liu Yunniang and her group to the backyard to talk.

The backyard of the embroidery room has a unique scenery.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you can see a small pond with clear water and a few koi swimming leisurely in the water.

There are several willow trees planted beside the pond. Their branches sway in the wind, as soft as green ribbons.

Walking along the bluestone path, there are carefully trimmed flowers and plants on both sides, colorful and gorgeous, emitting bursts of fragrance.

In the corner of the yard, there are several stone benches and a stone table, which look simple and elegant.

Going further in, there are several neatly arranged rooms with exquisite patterns carved on the doors and windows.

One of them is the room where the embroiderers work. Through the window, you can see the embroiderers concentrating on sewing.

At the end of the yard is a wall covered with vines. The green vines are dotted with unknown small flowers, adding a bit of vitality and wildness to the backyard.

Liu Yunniang and her group sat down in the main room, and the maid in the yard immediately brought in tea.

Shopkeeper Wang was about to take the teapot to pour water, but Chunxi snatched it away.

"Manager Wang, please sit down and stop busying yourself. Let Chunxi do these small things."

Naturally, Liu Yunniang would not really let Manager Wang do the work of serving tea and water.

After hearing this, Manager Wang did not refuse and sat down at the seat below.

"Miss, I have already found out what you asked me to find out in your previous letter."

Shopkeeper Wang did not wait for Liu Yunniang to ask, and he spoke directly, "The son-in-law has entered the capital..."

"Cough cough...cough cough..."

Shopkeeper Wang looked up at Chunxi. This girl...

"Miss, I made a mistake. That bastard is a heartless man..."

"Puch"

Chunxi and Ye Xiaoxiao both laughed out loud.

This shopkeeper Wang is a wonderful person!

Shopkeeper Wang looked at the two people who were laughing together with a confused look on his face. Was he wrong again?

Liu Yunniang looked at the situation and glared at the two of them lovingly. The two of them covered their mouths and just whispered and laughed to each other from time to time.

"Shopkeeper Wang, please forgive me for being so naughty. Please forgive me and just call him Master Ye."

Shopkeeper Wang was relieved and continued, "When Mr. Ye first came to Beijing, he rented a small courtyard in Chunyu Lane. He hired a woman to cook for him and he rarely went out. It was usually the servant named Ye Quan who went out to buy some writing brushes, inkstones, and other things."

"Later, I don't know how, but Master Ye went to the study and got to know Princess Pingle in the capital. I asked someone to find out, and since then, Princess Pingle's carriage has stopped in front of Master Ye's door several times."

When Manager Wang said this, he carefully glanced at Liu Yunniang's face. Seeing that she looked calm, he continued,

"Also, Mr. Ye's official position was not because he passed the imperial examination. It was arranged by the father of Princess Pingle, Prince Shun. It is said that Princess Pingle fell in love with Mr. Ye at first sight and was determined to marry him. Prince Shun disagreed, but he could not bear the princess's desperate efforts, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. He also disliked that he had no official position and was afraid of embarrassment, so he arranged for him to have a sinecure of the fifth rank."

Liu Yunniang listened, tapping the table lightly with her fingers. Although Ye Wenbo did have a good appearance, the princess was a noble lady, and there were probably many talented young men in the capital who were much better than Ye Wenbo. Why did she insist on marrying Ye Wenbo?

"What does Princess Pingle look like?"

Shopkeeper Wang frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Madam, the appearance of Princess Pingle is said to be quite outstanding, and she is a famous beauty in the capital. However, it is said that the princess has a somewhat arrogant and willful personality."

Liu Yunniang snorted coldly: "She clearly knew that Ye Wenbo already had a wife and daughter at home, but she still wanted to marry him. It seems that the princess is deeply in love with Ye Wenbo!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room was somewhat solemn, and no one dared to speak easily.

Liu Yunniang really couldn't believe it. Before coming here, she thought that Ye Wenbo had used sweet words to please the princess and deceived her.

But hearing what Shopkeeper Wang said now, I'm afraid that the princess already knows that Ye Wenbo is married, but she still wants to marry him, so she lets Ye Wenbo arrange her, his wife, to be his mistress. They are really a shameless pair of dogs.

Others don’t know why Princess Pingle wanted to marry Ye Wenbo, but Ye Xiaoxiao knows.

Princess Pingle married two husbands in her previous life. Strangely enough, she had no children after three years of marriage with her first husband. When the man was about to take a concubine, he startled his horse in the suburbs and was thrown to death.

Her second husband, after five years of marriage, was stabbed to death by his mistress just as he was about to bring back his son. The mistress then committed suicide along with her son.

In order to save face, the family could only tell others that their son had died of a serious illness. However, some of the noble families in the capital heard some rumors.

I'm afraid the deaths of those two husbands were not simple.

After her two husbands died in succession, Princess Pingle was unwilling to marry again.

She usually loves to go to the theater to have fun, but now no good family is willing to marry her.

In his previous life, Ye Wenbo accompanied Liu Yunniang to watch an opera. When Liu Yunniang went to change her clothes, she got lost and accidentally saw a woman in luxurious clothes hugging an actor, although she did not see the woman's face clearly at that time.

But the woman recognized her as the wife of Lord Ye, the Minister of Personnel.

After that, Princess Pingle began to pay attention to Liu Yunniang.

However, the more I looked at her, the more I found her offensive. A beautiful merchant girl had actually become the object of envy of the women in Beijing.

Ye Wenbo was handsome and highly valued by His Majesty, with a promising future, but he married Liu in his hometown early on. It was said that after many years of marriage, they only had a daughter, but Ye Wenbo stayed with Liu and her daughter, and did not take in any concubines.

Princess Pingle became more and more indignant. She, a princess, was not even as good as the daughter of a merchant.

Later, Prince Shun was involved in the third prince's treason, and his entire family was beheaded. Princess Pingle was naturally also sent to the guillotine.

At that time, Ye Wenbo had become the youngest Duke and asked for the title of Duke's wife for Liu.

This incident caused quite a stir in the capital, and everyone was impressed by Ye Wenbo's deep affection for Liu Yunniang. Liu Yunniang was originally the daughter of a merchant, and she was able to receive this honor, which made many famous ladies envious.

Therefore, when Princess Pingle was reborn, she immediately snatched Ye Wenbo who had just arrived in Beijing. In this life, she was the wife of the Duke.
