After being reborn as a man, the woman improved her family's fortunes through education.

"Miss, I've been looking for you so hard!"

"Swoosh!" A soft sword, emitting a chilling aura and gleaming with a cold light, was planted at Cui Xi's feet.

It was just a tiny bit more than enough to cut off Choi Hee's toe.

"Oh my god! There's an assassin! Don't be afraid, miss, I'll protect you!"

Cui Xi bypassed the soft sword and tried to get closer to the carriage.

"Tian! Tian! Tian!"

Several silver needles were fired simultaneously, piercing through Cui Xi's wide robe and sleeves, carrying a powerful force.

In the blink of an eye, Cui Xi was pulled back several meters, and then precisely nailed to the Cui family's gate.

Only then did everyone realize that it was actually Young Master Jiang who had made the move!

Master Cui and his wife were also stunned. This, this...

Mingfei knows martial arts? That's amazing for someone so young!

Master Cui was surprised and pleased that his old friend had taught his future godson martial arts.

Madam Cui glanced at the sword on the ground, then instructed her servants to pull it out, clean it, and return it to Jiang Xiaoqi.

Lin Yueniang was bewildered by the repeated use of "Miss" earlier; it seemed that Madam Cui's son was not quite right in the head.

No wonder! No wonder he wanted to adopt Ming Fei as his godson!

It turns out she has a son with intellectual disabilities, which is why she can't resist other people's smart children.

Lin Yueniang expressed her understanding. If she had such a troublesome son, she would still feel the same pain, but she would still feel resentful.

Fuling and Li Mo are now on high alert. The fact that the young master has taken action proves that the person just now was extremely dangerous!

But why does that person look so familiar? It's like I've seen him somewhere before.

"father--

mother--

"Save my son!"

The Cui couple turned around at the same time. Oh? Why is their son still at the gate?

"Ahem, put the young master down."

The servants of the Cui family tried to remove the silver needles, but after several attempts, they couldn't get them out.

Forget it, let's just have the young master take off his outer robe. Anyway, the silver needles only secured the outer robe.

And so, the person was put down, but the snow-white robe was left in the shape of the Chinese character "大" on the Cui family's gate.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Xiaoqi retracted several silver needles into his sleeve, and the white outer robe on the door instantly shattered into several pieces, falling to the ground like snowflakes.

This move not only shocked the Cui couple, but also left Cui Xi, who was only wearing his undergarments, completely stunned.

If he was still out of the loop just now, not knowing what was going on or how he ended up nailed to the door, he saw this scene very clearly!

Yes, he is that lady's brother!

Yes, yes, I was too rash. There's nothing wrong with someone using violence to protect their sister.

Choi Hee's mind raced as she tried to think of a way to ease the tension and, incidentally, change her future "brother-in-law's" impression of her.

A voice interrupted his wild thoughts and fantasies.

"You have no manners at all! That's your Aunt Jiang!"

Cui Xi: ? Jiang—, Uncle—, Mother—?

Madam Cui grabbed Cui Xi's ear and twisted it. It wasn't that she was heartless, but if she didn't stop her son from continuing his madness, the soft sword would do more than just slice off a bit of leather from a boot next time...

"Mother, please get in the carriage first!" Jiang Xiaoqi dismounted and handed the reins to Li Mo.

Lin Yueniang nodded. Since she had already said goodbye to the Cui couple, there was no need to exchange pleasantries with a junior who seemed to have mental issues.

Alas, Madam Cui is truly unfortunate to have such a son, who was even adopted.

That's right, what a good child he is, but people might not be willing to give him anything. Alas... it's really tough on Madam Cui.

Fuling sat on the carriage shaft, ready to drive at any moment, just waiting for her young master's instruction.

Jiang Xiaoqi walked to Cui Yuanwai's side and looked at Cui Xi scrutinizingly: "Uncle Cui, your son may have a brain ailment. It would be best to treat him as soon as possible, lest his condition worsen!"

"Oh! Yes, yes, thankfully my dear nephew discovered it early and helped control it in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

I'll go and fetch Chunyi, a renowned physician, to treat him in a little while. My dear nephew, please continue your journey with peace of mind!"

A wise person needs no further explanation. Even if Master Cui was initially confused, he eventually grasped the meaning by connecting the context.

His unfilial son had been away from home for two or three months, and he searched everywhere for him, only to find that the person he was looking for had been living in the guest courtyard next door all along.

Now that they're leaving, this unfilial son has come back right on time, and he's gone crazy and made a fool of himself.

No, if it weren't for Mingfei, this would probably have been an even bigger embarrassment!

Sigh... what kind of mess has he made!

The son she adopted actually fell in love with the biological mother of her future godson!

Even storytellers wouldn't dare write something like this! It's unbelievable! It's truly shameful! It's utterly disgraceful! So shameful!

Master Cui's vision blurred, but fortunately, his wife caught him just in time.

Seeing that Cui Xi had been restrained by the servants of the Cui family, Jiang Xiaoqi stopped caring, nimbly mounted his horse, and prepared to set off.

Just as he was about to leave, Cui Xi suddenly shouted at Jiang Xiaoqi, "Wait! Please wait!"

Jiang Xiaoqi frowned, but considering the three months of hospitality and care from Master Cui, he only turned back and said, "Take care of yourself," before flicking his whip and riding away.

Li Mo and Fu Ling followed closely behind in the carriage. Although they were moving very fast, they showed no signs of panic, which showed that they were well-trained.

Master Cui couldn't help but nod. The foundation of a family is not reflected in how much money and land it owns, but rather in many things that money cannot buy.

For example, loyal servants, well-trained guards, and the ability to travel the world alone.

The Jiang family seems to have all of these things, and they will surely have a place in the future Great Zhou clan circle.

Jiang Xiaoqi never aspired to be part of a powerful and influential family; his greatest desire was simply to ensure the safety and well-being of his entire family.

The Jiang family's carriage had disappeared at the end of the road, while the Cui family members were still outside the gate, and no one moved an inch.

"Snapped!"

"Ouch!"

Master Cui smacked his troublesome son on the back of the head.

That is, he was still mindful that this was his own nephew, and now that he was a son registered under his name, so he didn't use his full strength, only half of his strength.

That still stunned Cui Xi for a moment. By the time he came to his senses, he could only see his father's clothes disappear around the corner of the gate.

Wow, he runs really fast! Is he afraid I'll fight back? He wouldn't dare!

That means she's angry...

Oh, my heart! It feels so empty right now.

I really don't have the energy to coax my dad; he needs to be coaxed right now!

Could you please inquire about the whereabouts of that young lady—no, that Aunt Jiang?

Cui Xijiang turned his gaze to his mother, who was easier to talk to. Feeling the gaze of her eldest son, Madam Cui shuddered.

Turning around, he slipped away in the direction his master had gone.

Mrs. Cui, the easy-going lady: I'm outta here!

Good heavens! What are we waiting for? Let's get out of here!

Let's get out of here! Xi'er is definitely up to no good!

My son is going crazy, I, as his mother, can't go crazy with him!
