“No thanks, Mother,” said Xu Jianyao softly.

Madam Xu loved stroking Xu Jianyao’s head. This kid looks so mature.

Xu Jianchen suddenly looked up at Xu Ziling and asked, “Big sister, when do you plan to get married? You’re not young anymore. If you don’t marry soon, you’ll be a tattered old woman!”

Madam Xu was left stunned for a moment, and abruptly turned her head. “Yes, Ling’er. You’re already seventeen years old soon. You should find a good family to marry,” she said with all seriousness.

Xu Ziling looked a little embarrassed. “Mother, I know,” she said casually.

Madam Xu sighed. “Ah... Ling’er, it’s not that I don’t want to support you, but once a woman reaches a certain age, they must leave. I hope that you can find the man of your desires as soon as possible. If you can’t find one, then all I can do is personally find you one. What do you think?”

Xu Ziling nodded awkwardly. “Mhm, alright. I’ll listen to you, Mother.”

“That’s my good daughter.” A smile formed at the corner of Madam Xu’s mouth.

Xu Jianchen took a few more mouthfuls of food, then put her chopsticks down. “Mother, I’m full so I’ll be leaving first.”

With that said, he turned and went off to digest his food with a stroll.

“All thanks to His Majesty, our family lives in peace. We don’t have to fight or suffer hardship. I really hope that His Majesty can live long,” smiled Madam Xu.

Xu Ziling thought about just how seriously ill Han Moze was and slightly furrowed her elegant brows in silence.

“Mother, I want to eat deer meat,” said Xu Jianyao in a cute voice.

Madam Xu immediately picked up a piece of deer meat and put it into Xu Jianyao’s bowl. Her eyes were filled with love and generosity.

As Xu Ziling ate her food, she couldn’t help but furrow her graceful brows when the silhouette of Zui Ying came to mind. What had that shadow guard done to her? Why couldn’t she help but think about him?

Xu Jianchen stepped outside, then started to wander around until he eventually reached Xu Ziling’s room.

“Wretched woman! When will you come back? I’m about to be tortured to death!” roared Zui Ying angrily.

Xu Jianchen blinked his amorous eyes, then cheerfully walked up to the door. “Open the door, I want to go in and take a look.”

“Second Young Master, that’s... Young Miss ordered us not to allow anyone inside,” respectfully said a servant dressed in green.

“Ah! I’m about to go crazy! Hurry up and let me go!” Zui Ying couldn’t resist but erupt loudly again, as he couldn’t bear the uncomfortable around his body.

Xu Jianchen rolled his eyes. Who did big sis lock up in her room? I should go take a peek.

A mischievous smile formed in the corner of Xu Jianchen’s mouth, as he suddenly rushed towards the door and barged in.

“Second Young Master, you... can’t...” The two servants outside stood stunned on the spot.

Xu Jianchen averted his gaze and suddenly caught sight of Zui Ying tied to a column in the corner of the room. There was blood on his chest and he looked really tragic, but his face was red and he wouldn’t stop wriggling.

Xu Jianchen blinked with curiosity, then walked up to Zui Ying whilst stroking his chin. “Why are you wriggling around like a snake?” He asked.

Zui Ying tightly clenched his fists to wake himself up a little, then lowered his gaze at the cute boy who walked in when he didn’t notice. After some contemplation, he flashed a charming smile. “Young Master, you’re so cute! I’ve never seen a cuter kid than you!”

Xu Jianchen’s little face turned red and joy on the tip of his brow from the compliment. “My brother, why are you tied up here? You don’t look like a bad person. Did my big sister single you out to bully you?”
