The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?
Chapter 172 The Yu Family Wants to Return to Beijing
The gift given by Tan Tai Hong was obviously very popular with the Yu family, but Mr. Yu asked about Tan Tai Hong's occupation again.
Tan Zhihong spoke honestly again, "I've handed over all the affairs of the pavilion to my former subordinates, and I don't plan to be involved in the Soul-Sucking Pavilion anymore. I still have some savings, and I also have two shops in Luofeng. From now on, I will do some serious business and live a good life with Axue."
The Soul-Devouring Pavilion has existed for fifteen years. The previous leader was the master of Tan Tai Hong's original incarnation. Ten years ago, after his master's unexpected passing, Tan Tai Hong took over as leader. Tan Tai Hong was only fifteen years old at the time. His master's former followers assisted Tan Tai Hong in managing the Soul-Devouring Pavilion, becoming its second-in-command. Three years later, this second-in-command, driven by his own arrogance, murdered the original Tan Tai Hong, leading to the current Tan Tai Hong.
So Mr. Yu, who had been an official in Beijing for many years, knew about the Soul-Sucking Pavilion, a dreaded underworld organization.
Old Master Yu is not a pedantic person. He can see that Tan Tai Hong is not a bad person, but at most a person who is both good and evil.
"Okay, I hope you can find a way to make a living. Having a family doesn't suit you anymore."
It was naturally a good thing that the Yu family did not dwell on Tan Taihong's identity. There was still some time before dinner, and what the Yu family members were most concerned about was how Xueying had been doing over the years.
Xueying did not hide anything and briefly recounted her experience after being kidnapped. Although she wanted to find out her life experience during those years, she was not very active. It was Tan Tai Hong who pulled her out of the abyss and took her everywhere to find doctors to detoxify her. In the end, it was also because of Tan Tai Hong that Mu Xiyue came to the rescue.
Xueying looked at her mother and sister-in-law's tearful faces and comforted them softly, "It's all over now. I'm completely fine now."
She's really not very good at comforting people and feels a little helpless.
Yu Jianhong stood up from his seat, walked to Mu Xiyue, lifted his robe and knelt down, "Thank you, Princess, for saving Qi'er's life!"
This unexpected kneeling scared Mu Xiyue so much that she quickly stood up from her chair and went to help Yu Jianhong. "Uncle, what are you doing? You are the elder and you can't do that. My cousin is also my sister-in-law. I can save her, so I won't stand idly by."
Seeing that the people in the room didn't understand what Mu Xiyue meant by sister-in-law, Xiao Yibai smiled and said, "Brother Hong is Yueyue's sworn brother, so it was a surprise that he recognized my cousin. Fortunately, my cousin looks like my aunt."
Xueying's experience really distressed the Yu family. At this time, the Yu family had no prejudice against Tan Taihong. If it weren't for Tan Taihong, they would not be able to see their daughter whom they had missed for so many years.
Dinner was served, and everyone was happy. Because Xiao Yibai and his group had been traveling for a month, they all returned to the courtyard to rest after dinner.
Xueying's courtyard had always been prepared in the mansion. When Mrs. Yu knew that her daughter was coming back, she redecorated it and prepared two maids to serve her.
This was the first time Xueying had a maid to serve her since leaving home at the age of five, and she felt a little unaccustomed. After being shown around the courtyard by the maid, she dismissed her. Getting acquainted with the new environment was a habit she had developed over the years. The room was warmly decorated, and lying on the bed, she truly felt the warmth of family.
The courtyard where Xiao Yibai and Mu Xiyue live was specially reserved for Xiao Yibai by the Yu family. Although the Yu family has been in Luzhou for nine years, this is only Xiao Yibai's third time to come to Luzhou.
After taking a shower, Xiao Yibai walked to the bed and saw Mu Xiyue lying in a very unkempt manner, holding the quilt with one hand and reading a book with the other, happily.
He pulled back the quilt and lay down in it, taking the book from Mu Xiyue's hand, folding the corner and putting it on the cabinet beside the bed.
"Still reading, aren't you tired?"
The book was brought by Mu Xiyue from Shangjing City. It was a very funny storybook. When she saw the funny part, she casually responded, "It's okay. I'm not too tired. I've already rested for half a day. I'm just reading the interesting part. Let me read for a while!"
Xiao Yibai's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. "Really? Since my beloved concubine is not tired, then let's do something more enjoyable than reading a storybook."
It goes without saying that there is nothing more enjoyable than reading a storybook!
They had been traveling all month, and whenever they wanted to have sex, they would enter the space in the middle of the night, as the inn's rooms weren't very soundproof. The journey was tiring, and even if Mu Xiyue could use her powers to alleviate their fatigue, Xiao Yibai wouldn't let her have sex any more. So, since leaving Shangjing, they had only had sex three times. Not only was Xiao Yibai very greedy, but Mu Xiyue was too.
Mu Xiyue didn't sleep very soundly in the unfamiliar environment. Early the next morning, Xiao Yibai got up to practice martial arts and Mu Xiyue also got up.
She hadn't taken a close look at the courtyard last night, but today she saw that the Yu family had really put in a lot of effort. The courtyard wasn't very big, but it was decorated very comfortably, and they even left a space for Xiao Yibai to practice.
After breakfast, Mu Xiyue, Xueying and Lin Yier chatted in Madam Yu's courtyard, while Xiao Yibai was invited to Mr. Yu's study.
Yu Jianhong said, "Father, my term here will end in the spring, and I want to return to Beijing."
He never imagined that his daughter would be captured and taken to the Chen family's death camp. His daughter had suffered for so many years, and as a father, he did not have the ability to get it all back, but he should go back and do something.
How could Old Master Yu not understand his son's thoughts? It didn't matter to him, an old man who was about to die, but the Yu family still had descendants, and he couldn't just ignore them. Besides, their Yu family had been away from Shangjing for nine years. Could their Yu family still have a place in Shangjing?
Mr. Yu asked, "Have you thought it through?"
Yu Jianhong was very determined. "I've made up my mind, Father. Although Jinzhi doesn't have that intention, as a brother, I should do something for my younger sister. Now with Qi'er's problem, I can't just sit there and do nothing. If I go to Shangjing, I can at least be a helper to Jinzhi."
Xiao Yibai didn't want the Yu family to get involved in the affairs of the capital anymore. It was good for the Yu family to live a peaceful life here now, but if his uncle wanted to do something for his daughter, he shouldn't stop him.
"Uncle, I still have my cousin's revenge to settle. Things in the capital aren't much different either. We'll be able to close the net in half a year at most."
Yu Jianhong raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Jinzhi, uncle understands what you mean. But uncle also wants to share some of your burden, even though it may not be of much help to you."
Back then, they had no choice. The Yu family avoided the storm in Beijing. It was another way of protecting Xiao Yibai and the Yu family. Now it's time to go back.
Yu Jingping interjected, "Next year there will be the Spring Examination. If father is transferred back to the capital, then I should also take the exam."
Old Master Yu nodded. "That's fine, but it will be hard for Yi'er to manage your huge business. So, Jinzhi, I'll leave your uncle's affairs in your hands."
Since the Yu family all had this idea, Xiao Yibai also agreed. After all, he could still protect the Yu family if he wanted to. Although Luzhou was quiet, it was not as prosperous as Shangjing.
"Okay, since uncle insists, then I'll do as he wishes."
