Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 344 Yan Xuan's Determination

Yan Xuan's mother, Mrs. Lin, and grandmother, Mrs. Yan, looked at the girl in front of them quietly.

Unremarkable.

Peaceful and unremarkable.

If there was one bright spot, it was that she smiled exceptionally brightly.

"Xia Cao has met Grandmother and Mother."

"..."

Yan Xuan stood on her left side, secretly touched her elbow, and whispered: "You are wrong."

"We are all family sooner or later. I just called him first, that's right."

Madam Yan believed she had seen a lot and had known countless people, but she had never seen a country girl like this. Fortunately, the old lady was well-mannered and her face remained calm.

Madam Yan Lin didn't have such patience. Her eyes darkened and darkened, and she was unwilling to insult this vulgar country girl, lest she dirty her mouth.

Yan Xuan hurriedly explained, "Grandmother, Mother, Xia Cao has always been a good and sensible girl. It's just that I promised her that I would marry no one else but her, so that's why she considers you her mother and grandmother."

When Xia Cao entered the house, she noticed the look in the eyes of the two elders and was sure that they didn't like her.

She simply didn't bother pretending and said bluntly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, not to mention grandparents. So, if I marry Yan Xuan, his family will be my only family."

When the grandmother listened, she felt sorry for the poor girl. She must have no one who loved her. She had no parents since she was a child, so she had no rules. Thinking of this, the old lady's expression improved a little.

Madam Yan asked curiously, "Then, who are your only family members?"

After all, they are only two.

"Of course, they are my two sisters. Oh, and my sister Luo Hong will soon marry into the Ning Wang Mansion and become the princess."

She pretended to be innocent. After all, they were Yan Xuan's family, so she couldn't be too disrespectful to them.

Madam Yan opened her mouth wide, a look of disbelief on her face: "The girl's sister is marrying His Royal Highness Prince Ning?"

"Yes, could it be that His Royal Highness Prince Ning has some hidden illness? Why is mother so surprised?"

Yan Xuan saw Xia Liang find a seat and sit down, and pulled him to sit with him.

Alas, he knew this would happen.

When Lin heard this, she knew she couldn't say anything careless and quickly shook her head: "Miss Xia, you can't say this in front of His Highness. I'm just curious about who your sister is and why His Highness Prince Ning is like this..."

Xia Liang touched the mung bean cake on the plate and put it into his mouth while mumbling, "Mother, are you trying to say that Your Highness is too busy, too arrogant, and too narcissistic?"

"Mother didn't say that."

Yan Xuan: ...

The wrinkles on the old grandmother's face deepened as she smiled.

Xia Liang poured two cups of tea, handed one to Yan Xuan, drank his own cup in one gulp, and then said quietly: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is indeed that kind of person. He looks at everyone like a fool, as if he is the smartest.

But that didn't stop him from liking my sister. To be honest, I felt like he was really marrying up to my sister. Luckily, he's a nice guy and let us stay in his house temporarily."

The grandmother laughed until she stopped. This girl's words were quite amusing to listen to, but she was afraid that if she talked too much, she would get into trouble.

"From what you said, your sister is an outstanding woman?"

"Well, I'm a little bit behind my sister, but Yan Xuan is just right for me! He doesn't have any great military achievements right now, but if he has me, he'll have everything he needs in the future."

When Mrs. Yan heard this, she thought the girl spoke bluntly and sounded like she was crazy, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that the girl was not stupid.

"Does that girl have any ability that can help my Xuan'er achieve great success?"

"I can accompany him to the battlefield, which is something other girls can't do."

After saying that, he looked at Yan Xuan and smiled like a flower, "Isn't it? From now on, we will advance and retreat together."

"Ok!"

Old Lady Yan and Madam Yan looked at each other in bewilderment. They thought that there was probably no other woman like her in the world. No wonder this silly boy was bewitched by her.

Seeing that the two elders were silent, Xia Liang said cheerfully: "Do grandma and mother agree that Yan Xuan and I are together?"

"You're not engaged yet, so it's not good to be together every day. Besides..."

The expression on Lin's face froze instantly. "I'm afraid Xuan'er's grandfather and father don't agree with your marriage. Xuan'er's grandfather has a close friend who shared life and death with him. His granddaughter is about the same age as Xuan'er. At that time, the old man and the other's grandfather agreed to discuss the marriage when the children were old enough."

Yan Xuan was shocked.

"Mom, why haven't I heard grandfather talk about it?"

The old lady sighed and said, "You met that girl when she was little. She has a bit of a bad temper. She's the only one in the family and has been spoiled since she was little. I originally thought that if she didn't like you when she got older, I would just let it go. But when she heard you were back, she actually asked the Ye family to come and pay their respects."

Xia Liang's eyes turned: "Ye family? Are they some relatives of Ye Yucheng?"

"It's Ye Yucheng's cousin, Ye Wenting."

After going around in circles, it turns out that people in the capital city are all intermarried within their families, and every household is related.

Xia Liang laughed: "Don't be afraid, if you have the guts, let Ye Wenting come to me, I will beat her to a pulp."

Yan Xuan wiped his forehead and pulled Xia Liang out of the house.

"Grandma, mother, please enjoy your meal. I won't be with you anymore."

"This kid!"

The old grandmother shook her head and sighed, "Although Miss Xia is a bit of a brat, she's actually very kind to Xuan'er. You see, everything she does is with Xuan'er in mind. Even when she's eating a piece of cake, she never forgets to put it in Xuan'er's mouth."

"Yes, my daughter-in-law has also discovered that Xuan'er really likes this girl. He likes naughty girls the most."

"It is said that this girl can summon a dragon. If she succeeds, I am sure she will be highly valued by the emperor."

"Mother, have you ever thought about what would happen if it didn't work out? What if it led to a fatal disaster?"

Madam Yan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Do you think Prince Ning is so blind? Your Lin family is still relying on the Queen Mother. If something happens, no one will be able to escape."

"..."

Xia Liang hooked Yan Xuan's little finger with her little finger and swayed as they walked.

"So what? I told you I was awesome! I'm sure your grandmother and mother will like me."

"Miss Xia is the best!"

Xia Liang suddenly remembered something: "You don't remember what that Ye-something-ting looks like, do you?"

"Well, I have a vague memory of her. She was quite thin and tall when she was little..."

"Good Yan Xuan, you think I'm short."

The two chased each other to the stairwell leading to the seventh floor, which was quiet and deserted.

Suddenly, Yan Xuan stopped and hugged Xia Liang in his arms.

"In this life, I will only marry you. I won't even look at other girls."

"Then you take the initiative to kiss me and prove it to me."

Yan Xuan lowered his head and pressed his lips tightly against Xia Liang's plump, soft, peach-colored lips. This was the first time he took the initiative to kiss her. Even though she had been intimate with him many times, he still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor and did not dare to neglect her.

Xia Liang was suffocated by his passionate and domineering kiss. She finally stuck her head out to breathe a sigh of relief. She looked into his eyes and said seriously: "If we still like each other so much at the age of eighteen, let's get married!"

"Why wait until you're eighteen?"

"If you want to achieve great things, I must also have some achievements of my own. Otherwise, won't your family look down on me?"

"I don't care about these. No matter whether Xia Liang has achieved anything or not, I only like you."

It's over, he becomes love-brained as soon as he kisses.

Luo Yu walked out holding Zhu Jinyou's finger. When he reached the door, he wanted to let go, but he held it tightly.

"Zhu Jinyou, get on the carriage."

"You go first and I go second, there's no problem."

"..."

After getting in the car, their fingers were still hooked together, and Luo Yu stared at the two fingers in a daze.

Zhu Jinyou knocked her forehead with his other hand: "What are you thinking about? Are you not happy with me holding your hand?"

Luo Yu raised his head: "Can we not go back home now?"

"Why?"

"You said that when others meet their mother-in-law for the first time, they are usually rewarded with a thousand pieces of silk and satin, or a jade ruyi. Why did your mother give me a few maids to learn the rules?"

"If Miss Luo Yu doesn't like it, you don't have to learn it."

"Don't want to learn? They'll scold you to death. When I woke up today, these maids were standing by my bed. I was almost scared to death."

"Then what do you mean?"

"I don't want to live in the palace."

Luo Yu leaned lightly on his shoulder, her voice soft and charming, especially beautiful, "Is it okay? My Prince Ning."

His heart was slightly moved. It turned out that this woman was so charming and cute when she was acting coquettishly, but she must have a lot of bad intentions.

"What if I say no?"

"We haven't gotten married yet. Living together will always lead to gossip. If I move out, you can marry me in the future, and I'll have my own family!"

Zhu Jinyou raised his pinky finger that was hooked around hers and smiled meaningfully, "Even if Miss Luo Yu moves out, those maids will follow her. What do you think we should do?"

Luo Yu blinked and said mischievously, "Well, since they live where I live, they must listen to me, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, he kissed her, blocking her mouth tightly.

It was passionate and crazy. She closed her eyes and thought to herself that this trick didn't work very well because men were easily distracted.
