Old Xu jumped up in anger upon hearing this, pointing his finger at Guan Xiuyu and cursing.

"Are you blind? Who do you think you are? You think you can just say he's not good enough for Yunyun? This pretty boy is far from being good enough for my Yunyun!" Guan Suying

"You're even promoting concubines? I think you're the one who should be a concubine!"

Guan Xiuyu's eyes cleared up after being scolded.

Is this the retired emperor? It can't be a fake, right?

Guan Suying whispered to Old Man Xu, "Please calm down, my elder brother isn't very bright, I'll definitely teach him a lesson."

Old Xu snorted and said to Lin Shuyun, "Girl, you can kick this pretty boy to the curb. I'll find you ten or eight handsome men, any one of them better than him. What level are they? You dare say you're not good enough for them?"

Jiang Changtian hurriedly said, "Heaven and earth bear witness, I never said that."

Guan Suying said to the stunned Guan Xiuyu, "Brother, get up first. This is not the place to talk. Go back first. By coming here, aren't you just obviously telling those with ulterior motives that Changtian's identity is questionable?"

She doesn't come here often.

"By the way, brother, how did you know Changtian was here?"

Jin She knelt down. "Madam, it was I who told Patriarch Guan. Patriarch Guan was only doing it for the young general's own good."

Jiang Changtian hadn't seen Jin She for a long time. He spoke expressionlessly, "Jin She, you are now a member of the Guan family. Our bond of life and death is severed from now on. Don't ever appear in front of me again."

"Young General!"

The golden snake's face changed color. "Young general, the Guan family head was worried about your safety, that's why I... Young general, if you don't want me, you might as well kill me!"

"Shout, shout louder, preferably so that everyone in the capital can hear the cry of 'Young General'." Lin Shuyun was convinced.

Why hide anything? Just tell the whole world that General Chang is right here.

The golden snake was deathly pale and swayed precariously.

Lin Shuyun was exasperated by her stubbornness. "Little sister, it's normal to like your master, after all, he's so handsome. But don't be so scheming. Even if you drive me away and let your master marry a lady from a respectable family, you still won't be able to be his woman."

"Maybe by then even the ladies of high society won't be happy with you as their servant, and then you'll feel relieved and satisfied?"

"If he didn't like me, you wouldn't need to be jumping up and down like this. He would have remarried on his own. Why don't you learn your lesson? You insist on putting him in a difficult position, making him kill you with his own hands. He'll feel guilty for the rest of his life. Will he even remember you?"

"Have you ever thought about how disappointed your master is with your actions?!"

The golden snake opened its mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

Guan Suyi sighed, "Golden Snake, you can stay by my side from now on. If you make another mistake, you can leave."

"Yes, Madam." The golden snake slumped, losing all its strength.

She didn't even dare to look up at Jiang Changtian, afraid of seeing the disappointment in his eyes.

Did she really do something wrong by doing so much?

The sword in his hand trembled incessantly.

Unfortunately, no one paid much attention to her.

"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold as to ask, how could you..." Guan Xiuyu asked Old Man Xu with his head bowed.

Wasn't the retired emperor at his temporary palace? How come he's here?

Old Xu said with a sour face, "If you know it's audacity, then don't ask. Next time you try to show off, remember this is my house, and Yun is my girl. This kid is just a gigolo who lives off women. What's so great about him?"

"Did you remember that?"

"Yes, yes, I remember it clearly." Guan Xiuyu nodded repeatedly.

I was terrified.

"Get out, get out, get out! This is so annoying! I knew I shouldn't have come to Beijing with that pretty boy Jiang Changtian. It's nothing but trouble every day." Old Xu shooed people away like flies.

After being driven away, Guan Xiuyu did not know how she returned to the Guan family.

After a while, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

His nephew married an amazing wife, hahaha.

When Guan Xiuyu's wife, Madam Lin, heard that her husband had returned, she saw him smiling as soon as she entered the door and couldn't help but ask, "Husband, what's wrong? What happened that makes you so happy?"

"This matter cannot be discussed at the moment. Madam, please prepare the best courtyard in the manor and gather all the jewelry and ornaments that young women like. It would be best to prepare more than necessary," Guan Xiuyu said with a smile on her face.

Who says the Lin family is bad? They're absolutely wonderful!

Madam Lin was taken aback upon hearing this. "Husband, which noble lady have you taken a fancy to and wish to bring into the family?"

There are no young women in the household, so why prepare these things?

"Madam, what are you thinking? All you need to know is that my sister's suffering is about to end, hahaha." Guan Xiuyu said, unable to suppress her laughter again.

With the Emperor Emeritus protecting him, it's only a matter of time before Chang Tian is exonerated.

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin remained silent but couldn't help but feel happy.

……

……

People are gone.

Lin Shuyun paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Old Xu forced a guilty smile. "Girl, stop beating around the bush, you're making this old man dizzy."

He felt guilty, genuinely guilty.

Lin Shuyun looked at Old Man Xu and sneered, "Fine, fine, you're all just using fake identities, and I'm the only country bumpkin here, huh?"

"I've truly wasted my heart! All that talk of a lonely, heartless old beggar, a widow whose husband has died, and yellow cabbages in the field—it was all a lie!"

“You, Aunt, Xiaoqing, old man, the four of you, you... when you talk about it, I’m the most miserable one.”

Lin Shuyun got angry. Each of them had a higher status than the last, so why wasn't she a princess?

outrageous.

Old Xu got angry, "Whoever dares to say you're a country bumpkin, I'll throw manure on their head!"

Then he spoke cautiously, "Yun girl, don't be angry. I wasn't very bright before and forgot a lot of things. I only found out my identity after I came to the capital. You and I are family!"

Lin Shuyun rolled her eyes. "You've forgotten you're the retired emperor, haven't you? You really can forget, do you think I'll believe you?"

Then she glared at Jiang Changtian and said, "What are you looking at? And you too!"

"Yunyun, don't be angry. You can punish me however you want. We're family." Jiang Changtian pursed his lips, not daring to say more, afraid of being implicated.

Lin Shuyun was pretending to be angry, after all, ordinary people would be surprised to know that the Emperor Emeritus was such a person.

Unable to be surprised, she could only get angry.

"Yun girl, Yun girl," Old Xu muttered softly.

"Didn't you already know that Jiang Changtian was lying to you? If you're going to be angry, you should be angry at him. He brings you no benefit but only trouble. You should kick him to the curb!"

Jiang Changtian: ...

You seem to have forgotten how you begged Yunyun to take you in.
