Chapter 193 Being a Son-in-Law
"Open the door."
Yan Yunqing had already arrived at the door while speaking.
"Mom, when did you wake up?"
Mu Xueyan jumped off the bed and opened the door for her mother with great courtesy.
The mirror spirit took the opportunity to hide its body and slipped out quietly.
"It's so noisy so early in the morning, before daybreak, who can still sleep?"
Yan Yunqing stepped over the threshold and was speechless: "Is your nephew Ji unreliable? He came to visit someone else's house without even knocking on the door, but just climbed over the wall to come in."
"He might be worried about disturbing our sleep."
Mu Xueyan smiled awkwardly and said on behalf of someone, "That's why I didn't knock on the door."
"He might as well have knocked."
Yan Jun laughed angrily: "With such a commotion, the whole village will hear it. In less than three days, it will spread throughout the entire Xianjian Villa."
"Just spread it."
Mu Xueyan didn't care: "It's just climbing over the wall. Ji Feiyang doesn't care, so why should we care?"
"You put it lightly."
Yan Jun was worried: "There are still two unmarried sisters-in-law at home. If this gets out and people talk about it, the reputation of the two sisters-in-law will be ruined by him."
"Yes."
Mu Xueyan slapped her forehead and smiled slyly: "How could I have forgotten my reputation."
Yan Yunqing: “.”
What the hell is this girl thinking of?
"Reputation!"
Mu Xueyan stroked her chin and thought hard: "This point can be made into a big article. The reputation of the two young ladies cannot be tarnished at will. Someone must take responsibility."
"What are you thinking?"
No one knows a girl better than her mother. As soon as Yan Yunqing saw her daughter's expression, she knew that someone was going to be in trouble.
"Let Ji Feiyang atone for his sins."
Sure enough, Mu Xueyan's next words were powerful enough to shock the world: "He climbed over the wall in the middle of the night and offended the two aunts. He must be responsible. He can choose either aunt and marry whomever he wants."
"You can pull him down."
Yan Jun laughed angrily and poked her daughter's forehead hard: "Do you think the two aunts are cabbages and he can pick them at will? What if he likes your eldest aunt and the two sisters have a rift because of this, then this family will not be able to live in peace."
"Yeah, it's definitely not okay to let him choose."
Mu Xueyan covered her forehead and laughed, continuing to make her mother happy: "The initiative must be in our hands, otherwise, why not just say it directly, my aunt has taken a fancy to him, let him atone for his sins and become our son-in-law."
"It's good that he's willing to make amends."
Yan Yunqing was amused by what she heard. She covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and laughed, "A live-in son-in-law? What are you thinking about in your little head all day long?"
“I really think so.”
Mu Xueyan said confidently: "Ji Feiyang and Aunt Lin are a good match. They just don't have much contact. When they meet more often in the future and get to know each other better, I believe that Ji Feiyang will definitely discover the good in Aunt Lin and fall in love with her."
"How can you be so sure?"
Yan Junqing's eyes showed joy and she looked at her daughter lovingly.
"Of course that's because."
Mu Xueyan pinched her orchid fingers and spoke in a long tone, showing off like singing an opera: "This girl is good at fortune-telling. Mother, don't you know that your daughter is very capable."
"You."
Yan Liqing found it funny and poked her forehead again: "Mother doesn't know about your other abilities, but you are first-rate at boasting."
"whee."
Mu Xueyan laughed and hugged her mother's arm again, saying coquettishly: "You have to have real skills to brag about yourself. At least you have good words and can make mother happy."
"Sister Yan is so well behaved..."
A warm current surged through Yan Liqing's heart. She opened her arms and hugged her daughter into her arms: "As long as you three siblings are safe and sound, mother will be satisfied." "Mother, did you just say..."
Mu Xueyan's heart trembled when she heard the siblings' words. She stopped playing tricks and asked tentatively, "Do you agree that I can go find my eldest brother and the others?"
"Ugh."
As a mother, how could Yan Li not worry about her children?
"Your eldest brother and his companions have been gone for several days. Counting the days, they should be arriving in Xiliang soon."
"The border between Xiliang and Beichen is now under the control of the King of Southwest."
"He wants to fight for the throne, so he will definitely regard the Mu family army as a strong enemy."
"I know even without you telling me that there are many dangers along the way. Even if Miss Lan helps us, there are only a few of us. How can we fight against an army of hundreds of thousands?"
~
"Mom, there's no need to worry too much."
Mu Xueyan was well-behaved and sensible, and she comforted her mother in return: "Big brother and the others will be fine, they will definitely be able to overcome the danger and return safely."
"Do you have any news about your brother and the others?"
Yan Xingqing was still worried: "They have been gone for several days, and there is no news at all. Madam Xu asked Black Dragon Castle's spies in various places to help pass on the news, but they haven't brought back a single word."
"I got some information from Murong Chen."
Mu Xueyan couldn't tell her mother that she had foresight, so she could only make up a story: "He sent people to secretly protect Mu Yunxi, and the message was delivered a little faster."
Yan Liqing's eyes lit up: "What did he say?"
"Brother, they had a smooth journey."
Mu Xueyan said carefully: "But..."
"But what?"
Yan Liqing paused for breath.
"It's just that their swords are too conspicuous and too big a target."
Mu Xueyan held her forehead helplessly: "So even if I change my appearance, I'm still easily recognized."
"This is all my fault. I was only thinking about giving my brothers magic weapons and sharp blades so that they could use them easily, and I forgot about this."
"Especially the big teeth of the second brother, they are so eye-catching. No matter where he goes, he attracts a lot of attention."
-
"What should I do?"
Yan Junqing was anxious, her voice trembling: "It's so easy to be recognized. Isn't it dangerous along the way?"
“There is a danger.”
Mu Xueyan didn't want to make her mother worry, so she said lightly: "But my elder brother and his friends are not pushovers either. They have practiced martial arts since childhood and have excellent skills. We can take this opportunity to have a real combat exercise. If the King of the Southwest is willing to come and give his head, let them come."
"Giving away lives?!"
Yan Junqing’s face turned pale, she covered her chest, her body swayed, and she almost fainted.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Xueyan was so frightened that her heart trembled. She quickly supported her mother and stuffed a pill into her mouth to calm her nerves and replenish her energy.
"Mom is fine."
Yan Junqing swallowed the pill, and her breathing became a little smoother.
"I'll help you lie down on the bed for a while."
Mu Xueyan was well-behaved and sensible. She supported her mother's body and helped her to the bed.
Yan Junqing was still a little dizzy, so she leaned against the head of the bed and closed her eyes.
Mu Xueyan helped her mother lie down, stretched out her right hand, and placed her palm down on her forehead.
A stream of pure spiritual power gushed out from her palm and entered into Yan Junqing's brow.
Yan Junqing breathed a sigh of relief, the dizziness disappeared, and her brain became clear again.
