Meng Fei sighed softly: "You better behave yourself for the next three days, or my wife will get tired of you."

"Okay, okay, I can't stay any longer. I'm so busy, I don't have time to stay here with you."

"You're not allowed to tell anyone about my affairs."

"I won't say, but you won't be able to hide it for long, so be prepared."

"Ah."

Their words were relayed to Xiao Nan's ears by Longlong without missing a single one.

Xiao Nan chuckled softly: "As long as he's sincere, nothing else matters."

“Master, people here value status and position. No matter how rich you are, you will still be seen as money-grubbing.”

"How ridiculous! What they eat, drink, and receive—all of it is money, yet they look down on merchants. Bah! A bunch of hypocrites."

"Exactly, those officials embezzled so much money, it's all just money, they're just pretending."

"I don't care what others think of me, as long as Meng Fei treats me well and thinks highly of me, that's enough."

“Master, you don’t need any status. In the future, you will stand at the highest point here, and only you will look down on them.”

Xiao Nan snorted: "Yes, I have you, they don't. Based on that alone, I am king."

"Absolutely, you are the king of this world."

"Yeah, we still have to wait, sigh."

"More haste less speed."

Just then, Juanjuan and Fengfeng called out from the backyard, and Longlong suddenly burst into laughter.

“Master, that kid mentioned Juanjuan and Fengfeng, saying they don’t look like dogs.”

"Like what?"

"Elephant wolf!"

Are they angry?

"Yes, chase after him and bite him. It's a pity that the two are still small. If we wait a few more months, he will be doomed."

"Meng Fei didn't do anything?"

“Hey, your husband would love if Juanjuan and Fengfeng could bite him a few times.”

Xiao Nan stroked the two pets in his arms, Quan Quan and Bao Bao, thinking that they would definitely be very cool when they grew up.

At that time, even Juanjuan and Fengfeng will be no match for them.

"Master, you mustn't let this kid see Quan Quan and the bag, otherwise he won't be able to stop talking. How can a grown man talk so much?"

"He looks too effeminate, with those alluring peach blossom eyes; I don't really like that kind of look."

"You like men like Meng Fei, men with a manly charm."

"The enemy."

Xiao Nan put the two little ones into the basket below, and then took out a book to read.

She wanted to see how to plant frozen pear trees, how to transplant them, how to prune them, and how to plant other varieties, to lay the foundation for the more than 1,000 acres of wasteland next year.

She's still a complete beginner and has to learn everything.

In the evening, Grandma cooked a pot of mung bean and white rice porridge. She had eaten too much spicy and greasy food at noon, so she made this instead.

She cut up two plates of the pickled vegetables Xiao Nan had made, and didn't cook anything else.

Meng Fei was used to home-cooked meals, and Yun Peng was stunned when he saw such a simple dinner.

"Is this all you're eating?"

"I'm not hungry. I'm used to it. Eating too much at night isn't a good thing. This is fine to eat when I'm not working."

"Well, you're not hungry, but I am! I'm young and still growing, I need to eat."

Meng Fei glared at him: "You're just being nosy."

Xiao Nan stood up: "You guys eat first, I'll go make him something else."

Meng Fei grabbed her hand: "No need, you sit down. I'll just get him some snacks. I won't spoil him."

The old woman smiled awkwardly at Yunpeng: "I'm sorry, I made dinner myself, I forgot you needed to eat dry rations."

Yunpeng quickly waved his hand: "It's not Grandma's fault, it's my fault for not saying so."

She knew that although the man in front of her claimed to be Xiao Fei's brother, his clothes and appearance clearly indicated that he came from a wealthy family.

Therefore, she rarely spoke to Yunpeng; fewer words meant less trouble.

This is a habit that Grandma has developed over the years.

After dinner, Yunpeng found it amusing to see the three of them strolling around the yard.

When Meng Fei shooed him to the woodshed, Yun Peng looked at the makeshift bed on the floor and gave an ugly smile.

He was the richest royal merchant in the entire Dragon Kingdom, and this big brother actually made him sleep on a bed of hay. This was truly the first time in his life.

Yunpeng resignedly lay down on it, even swaying his body slightly, but felt no discomfort.

Just then, Meng Fei walked in carrying a plate and sat down next to Yun Peng.

"Here, this is hawthorn cake my wife made. Have some."

"That's pretty much it."

He didn't get up, his mouth agape, waiting to be fed. Meng Fei laughed and scolded him, "Do you still think you're a child?"

"Because you're the older brother, you should spoil your younger brother."

"From now on, I will only spoil my wife."

"Your sister-in-law is nice, but in the eyes of people in the capital, she is not as good as a lady from a respectable family. Your grandfather is a bit stubborn and may not be satisfied with her. Remember, you must protect your sister-in-law."

"Alas, that's why I fled the court. The Emperor sees the Meng family as a thorn in his side. Even though my Meng family has only had one son for three generations and the number of people is dwindling, he is still wary of my family. My marriage will definitely not be decided by me. But if I were to fake my death, it would be different."

"Although everyone in the capital is saying you're dead, your grandfather doesn't believe it and has sent many people to look for you. This place will be exposed sooner or later."

"I know, I have a way to handle it."

"What can I do?"

"Hmph, he's lost his memory. He doesn't remember anything from before, and he's lost his martial arts skills. He's just a rough peasant."

Yunpeng ate the hawthorn strips one bite after another, feeling that he could eat some more rice later.

"Anyway, I won't betray my brother. If they find you, don't blame me."

"Your people won't betray me, will they?"

"They certainly wouldn't; they're all my trusted confidants."

"What about your family?"

Murong Yunpeng thought of his own family and snorted coldly: "Without me, they will starve to death. All expenses are covered by me. Those who want to betray me, I will make them starve to death."

"Then why did you run away from the wedding?"

"It's all because of the Grand Tutor's little daughter. She insisted that I become her live-in son-in-law. She even came to our house to steal me away. Did I have to flee from disaster to become her live-in son-in-law? Tch, do you think I'm stupid? If I weren't rich, would she even have taken a liking to me? I can see right through her."

"That's great, look at me!"

“I’m different from you. I don’t like her. She’s willful and capricious, and just looking at her annoys me.”

"Then what do you like?"

Yunpeng thought for a moment and said, "She's feisty and has a good personality, she's steady and knows what's important, she doesn't just follow the crowd, she has her own ideas, she discusses things with me, and most importantly, she's good-looking. I like that."

"That's a fairy maiden, go find her in heaven."

"Sigh, that's why I don't plan to get married. It's so nice to be alone, without any ties, and I can go wherever I want."

"But having no home and no ties is also a regret."

Yunpeng glanced at Meng Fei: "Brother, it's getting late, go keep your wife company, I'm going to sleep."

Meng Fei patted his head, got up, and left.

Yunpeng closed his eyes, a tear rolling down his cheek. He longed to get married, to have a family, but he didn't want to have a weakness, didn't want the Murong family to take advantage of the situation.

He became a wild child at the age of thirteen, relying on his own efforts. If it weren't for Meng Fei's help, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

Therefore, in this world, he only recognizes Meng Fei as his elder brother. As for the Murong family, he only needs to keep them alive.

The suffering he endured should be made to be experienced by the Murong family, and the money he earned should never be enjoyed by the Murong family.

When Meng Fei returned to the room, Xiao Nan was still practicing calligraphy. She was copying running script, and her skills had improved significantly.

She has been here for more than half a year. In her understanding, this life is similar to the ancient times of her previous life, except that there are no twelve zodiac animals, each month only has thirty days, and there is no lunar calendar.

However, all twelve months are represented by January 1st each year, which is the Spring Festival in the Dragon Kingdom.
