An Jinxiu secretly pulled An Yuanzhi from the back, telling him not to be angry. Before her younger brother became famous, their mother could only be a dwarf in this house. " Yes, thank you, Matriarch An, "An Jin smiled as she bowed towards the matriarch and said," Aunt Xiu's illness was very dangerous during the day. After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, the fever has subsided.
"That's the two of you for being filial children," the matriarch said. "I didn't know that the Lady Xiu had such good fortune in giving birth to a son and a daughter like you."
The unwillingness and anger on An Yuanzhi's face could no longer be concealed. Still, An Jinxiu smiled and said, "Now that Lady Xiu's illness has improved, we can feel at ease."
The matriarch looked at An Jinxiu. She was no longer the same as she used to be. How could this bastard's granddaughter not make a sound? There was even a smile on her face.
"Mother," Grand Preceptor An spoke up from the side. "What happened today has nothing to do with Fifth Son and An Jinxiu."
"A slap in the face won't work," Matriarch Zhou said as she looked at An Jin. "Ah Jin, don't you think?"
An Jinxiu lowered her head and said, "Ah Jin knows her wrongs and will allow the Old Lord to penalize her as he pleases."
Reduced punishment for An Jin? Even though the matriarch was scolding Madam Qin in the main hall, she suspected that it was An Jin who had done the wrong thing.
Now that An Jinxiu had admitted her wrongs so openly, the matriarch had no choice but to say anything else. Grand Preceptor An had made it clear that Shangguan Yong had requested for the wedding date to be announced earlier. Forget it, "the matriarch glanced at An Jinxiu and said," You're about to leave the pavilion. Just wait patiently to be a bride.
An Jinxiu knelt down to thank her. She looked obedient and gentle.
The matriarch chuckled twice before turning to An Jinxiu and An Yuanzhi. "I still have some words to say to the Grand Preceptor. You two can withdraw for now."
"Mother," Grand Preceptor An hastened to say, "If there's anything to say, there's no harm in letting Ah Jin and Yuanzhi hear it."
"There's a difference in concubines." When Matriarch He saw Grand Preceptor An speak up for the two siblings, her face immediately darkened. "There are some things that they can't listen to!"
An Jinxiu pulled An Yuanzhi along with her and bowed to Matriarch He before turning to leave. In her previous life, she still cared about this, but now, as she stood outside the main hall, she looked back at the main hall of the Residence of An. She didn't even care about this house anymore, so why would she care about this?
"Sis." An Yuanzhi called out to her in a low voice.
An Jinxiu followed An Yuanzhi to the side courtyard where Lady Xiu lived. She whispered to her younger brother, "Yuanzhi, don't take the matriarch's words to heart."
An Yuanzhi coldly snorted. "I've never cared about that."
"So you want to leave?"
An Jinxiu's question caused An Yuanzhi to stop in his tracks. She turned around and looked at An Jinxiu with a twinkling gaze.
"It's good that you will leave." An Jin smiled. "The world is so big. Where is there not a place to build a career?"
An Yuanzhi silently turned around and continued walking forward. After walking for a while, An Jinxiu heard her little brother whisper to her, "Sis, there will be a day when I have to make them beg me to come in!"
An Jin replied with a "En". "There will be such a day."
A gust of wind blew away the thick clouds that had covered the crescent moon. The moonlight shone down like flowing water, illuminating the figures of the An Jinxiu and her brother. An Yuanzhi looked down at the shadow that he and An Jinxiu had cast on the ground, and suddenly felt as if he and his sister were mutually dependent on each other.
"We will be fine in the future, Yuan Zhi," An Jinxiu said in a low voice, her tone sounding like she was sighing.
"That's right." An Yuanzhi was not a sad person after all. After a moment of sadness, he turned back and smiled to An Jinxing, "When Yuanzhi is strong in the future, he'll definitely make mother and elder sister the masters!"
"What nonsense again!" An Jin smiled and pointed at An Yuanzhi. "Can you still take care of me for the rest of my life?"
An Yuanzhi said seriously, "When I become outstanding in the future, doesn't that mean that Brother-in-law Shangguan doesn't dare to look down on me anymore?"
Brother-in-law Shangguan? An Yuanzhi's title made her feel a sweet taste in her heart.
"Sis." An Yuanzhi changed his face at this moment, smiling as he said to An Jin. "I saw brother-in-law today and said that his face had a scar on it, but if I didn't look carefully today, I wouldn't be able to see the scar on his face." An Yuanzhi extended his hand and gestured at his own face, "This is the place where we are. A red mark, Sis, did you see it?"
An Jinxiu acted as if she was angry, "Why would I go and take a look?"
An Yuanzhi laughed and said, "I said the wrong thing. Why would my sister peek at my future brother-in-law? But don't worry, Sis Shangguan is indeed a bit dark, there's nothing else that's not good. "
An Jin blushed and smiled. The only regret she had today was that she did not see Shangguan Yong. She really missed him.
An Yuanzhi suddenly thought of something and said, "I just wonder what he will think of our family after seeing what happened today."
An Jinxiu shook her head. "None of us wanted to think about what happened today."
An Yuanzhi looked at An Jin's expression and said, "Sis, after you marry into the Shangguan family, you'll be a member of the Shangguan family. You won't have anything to do with the An family anymore, you just need to be good to your brother-in-law."
An Jinxiu lowered her head and walked away. Shangguan Yong would treat her very well. She hadn't cherished him in her previous life, but now that she had experienced it again, she would definitely cherish him.
Raising her head to look at the night sky, she saw a crescent moon and a few stars. Suddenly, An Jin was wondering if Shangguan Yong was already asleep, and if this person would come to the Residence of Tranquil East Tribe to pick her up.
While An Jin was looking at the night sky and missing Shangguan Yong, he was busy working with several craftsmen to repair his bedroom.
"Big Bro." Hearing someone call out from behind him, Shangguan Yong turned around to see his Second Bro Shangguan Rui leading seven or eight of his comrades in the army into the small courtyard.
"Why are you guys here?" Shangguan Yong quickly put down the sabre in his hand and stepped forward.
"Elder Brother Shangguan." The men who had entered the courtyard were all low ranking military officials, and they had joined the army together with Shangguan Yong, and they all addressed each other as brothers.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Shangguan Yong asked.
"Come and help big brother build a house."
"That's right, no one in the capital doesn't know that Eldest Brother requested for an edict in front of the Grand Preceptor's estate."
"We just want big brother to marry sister-in-law back as soon as possible."
"Shangguan elder brother should have gotten married a long time ago!"
… ….
The brothers talked all at once, not giving Shangguan Yong a chance to speak again. Shangguan Yong scratched his head. Luckily, his skin was dark, otherwise people in the yard could see that General Shangguan's face was flushed red.
"Big brother, I'll help too." Shangguan Rui also followed up.
"You should go read," Shangguan Yong wanted to pat Shangguan Rui's head, but suddenly remembered that his hands were covered in mud, his outstretched hand stopped midway, "After reading the book, you can go to sleep early after eating some snacks."
Shangguan Rui shook his head and said: "I want to do something for Big Brother."
Someone from the Martial Officer Department laughed and jokingly said to Shangguan Rui, "Little Rui is doing some work for sister-in-law in advance, you can't help but to hope that she will care for you more after entering the room." "Brat, you're quite narrow-minded!"
When martial artists made jokes, it was not to be avoided by the use of meat. However, Shangguan Rui had never been in the military camp before, so when he was told, his face immediately turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet.
The warriors saw Shangguan Rui laughing even harder, and in the end, they were all people with conscience. They said: "Alright, stop talking nonsense, we are here to help Shangguan Rui build the house, all of us are here to help him!"
