Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Shopkeeper Shi took out a cigarette and Manager Chen hurried forward to light it for him.

"But this has to be carried on by the young. How can we, the old and frail remnants of our army, defeat those people? That will has to be passed down from generation to generation."

Sheng Yu'an and Manager Cheng fell silent at the same time when they heard this.

"For that Immortal Palace... we've sacrificed so much. We absolutely cannot give up halfway. We must see it through to the end." Shopkeeper Shi took a puff of his cigarette and said in a hoarse voice, "And since Old Master Nan mentioned you, Fourth Master, to him, that means he thinks this kid can shoulder this heavy responsibility. And he has the ability to do it."

"We don't know much about him, and he knows nothing about the dangers inside and outside the tomb. We need men who can be used, not men who will die in vain.

"Old Cheng, send someone to He'an County to investigate him thoroughly, no matter how big or small. I'll also test his temperament and abilities over the next couple of days. If he's truly useful, I'll personally speak to Old Man Nan about it," Sheng Yu'an said.

Nanchun's dream was extremely painful.

He looked at his mother, who looked as haggard and withered as she was in her previous life, and felt helpless.

He ran back and forth in the vast forest, his feet were worn out and his voice was hoarse, but he still couldn't find his grandfather.

"Nanchun, I always put you first and treated you so well. Yet, you never believed me and even tried to destroy the Bai family! I'm so disappointed in you!"

The smile on Bai Xun's face disappeared, his lips were tightly pursed, and his brows were furrowed. His eyes, which used to be full of tenderness, were now filled with disgust.

Nanchun subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch him, but he dodged her.

"From now on...we are enemies."

Nanchun looked at Bai Xun's departing back, her heart aching.

"Bai... Bai Xun..."

He wanted to chase after her, but his ankle seemed to be tightly grasped by something, preventing him from moving.

"Bai Xun... Bai Xun..."

Suddenly, a knock on the door broke the silence, and Nanchun woke up suddenly from her dream.

His heartbeat was like a drum, pounding against his chest, as if it would burst free in the next second. He gasped for breath and touched his forehead, which was covered in fine beads of sweat.

The moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains, casting mottled shadows on the bed.

The knock on the door sounded again, and Nanchun was in a trance for a moment, realizing it was a dream. He took a deep breath and tried to calm the uneasiness in his heart.

"coming!"

Qian An is outside the door.

"It's time for dinner...why are you crying?" He reached out and wiped the tears from the corners of Nanchun's eyes.

Nanchun raised his hand and wiped his eyes in astonishment.

tears...

As if realizing something unbelievable, his face was a little...

tragic.

This word suddenly popped up in Qian An's mind.

He reached out and touched Nanchun's head, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, your grandfather will be fine. The Fourth Master is very capable."

Nanchun nodded awkwardly.

"Let's go and have dinner! Manager Cheng has cooked a table full of delicious dishes himself! He used to be a famous chef at Yuqingzhai in Yangcheng. Ordinary people don't have the luxury of eating his cooking." Qian An patted his shoulder and said.

It was the first time that Nanchun saw Chunxiao in the audience.

He had a handsome face, picturesque features, and dressed in a soft green robe, he stood there like a green pine in a simple and elegant ink painting.

"Mr. Nan, nice to meet you!"

Chunxiao's smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Nanchun reached out and shook his hand, saying in surprise, "Mr. Chunxiao, I've long heard of your name!"

"Thank you for your help in He'an County. I have always said that I would thank you in person, but I was delayed due to various things. It's my fault. Today, Yu... Boss Qian went to the theater and told me about you, so I came here uninvited." Chunxiao said with a smile.

"Sit down and talk, the food will get cold soon." Qian An said.

Manager Cheng’s cooking skills are indeed excellent, even the chef in the Bai family’s old house is inferior to him.

It's delicious, but...

Nanchun looked worriedly at the mountain of vegetables piled in the bowl.

"Try this steamed fish." Manager Cheng smiled and piled some more vegetables on the mountain.

"Thank you."

"Chunxiao, you just said that Nanchun helped in He'an County. What's that?" Qian An asked curiously.

Chun Xiao smiled and said, "This is the first time I've been protected like this by a stranger. I was taking off my makeup after coming down from the stage. The owner said there were a lot of people outside, so I wanted to finish taking off my makeup quickly and go out to say hello to everyone.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard a man named Zheng Jiufu shouting that he was willing to pay me to perform for him. Honestly, I've heard this kind of talk too many times. Although it's rude, no one takes it seriously.

At this moment, a clear voice rang out. "If you want to buy laughter, go to the place where laughter is sold. Could it be that you can't read and don't know where this place is?"

"Hahaha, that's well said." Shopkeeper Cheng couldn't help but laugh and clapped his hands.

"This guy is really a dog that can't spit out ivory!" Manager Shi snorted coldly.

Chun Xiao sighed and said, "What happened next is even more infuriating! That Zheng Jiufu started saying that the Bai family has no manners. After getting married, a wife should stay in the backyard to take care of her husband and children. Showing up like this in public, drinking tea and listening to opera among a group of men, is so shameless!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, what era is this? Shameless people like him can show up in public. Why can't people from good families and good families show up in public?" Qian An was speechless.

"Hey, what you said is similar to what Master Nan said. Master Nan refuted him at the time. Speaking of shamelessness, I can't compare to you!"

At this point, Chun Xiao covered her mouth and laughed. "I almost laughed out loud when I heard that. Young Master Nan also said that today he can buy laughs in the theater, and tomorrow he can go to someone else's house and force a good woman into prostitution! And let him do something human in broad daylight! Haha, that scoundrel is really angry."

Shopkeeper Cheng laughed heartily and said, "I never thought that you, Nanchun, who looks simple and honest, could actually be so good at talking."

Nanchun blushed and said embarrassedly, "It's that Zheng Jiufu who is such a jerk."

Chun Xiao smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed, but fortunately evildoers get their comeuppance. I heard he was beaten to death by the men led by Second Young Master Bai?"

"Zheng Jiufu colluded with the Ancheng Li family to sabotage the cooperation between the Chamber of Commerce and the Sheng family. He brought people to rob the Chamber of Commerce's goods halfway and wanted to kill people. Bai Xun was considered to have eliminated this harm for the people." Nanchun explained.

Chun Xiao looked at him with a smile and said, "I thought it was really unfair for a kind-hearted person like you to be forced to marry a man. Now it seems that you like Second Young Master Bai. That's good, Second Young Master Bai is also a good man."

Nanchun's face turned red to his ears, and he couldn't say anything to deny it.

That dream made him realize how much he couldn't let go of Bai Xun.
