Chapter 483: Visiting the Mi Family Again

After hearing the news, Yuan Xi smiled and said to everyone, "This is a coincidence. The Mi family is not so important. I haven't seen Yunchang for a long time."

He said to Zhen Yao, "See if the Zhen family caravan has anything worthwhile and send it to Yun Chang."

Ju Su said, "Mi Fang and Guan Yu are not on good terms, I'm afraid he may not want you to meet him."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "So I have to bring gifts with me so that I have an excuse to meet Yun Chang."

Ju Shou was a little worried. "Although you and Liu Yuzhou are allies, it's best to be prepared for any eventuality. We still need to be vigilant."

Yuan Xi thought for a moment, "There is no reason for Liu Yuzhou to attack me. Besides, I have some words that I want Guan Yu to pass on to Liu Yuzhou, so I still have to go this time."

"Besides, the two cities are only separated by a body of water. It only takes half a day to go back and forth by sea. I'd like to trouble you and Mr. to stay in Haixi."

Seeing that Yuan Xi was determined, Ju Su had no choice but to agree.

Yuan Xi then said to Lu Xun: "Bo Yan should also come with me to meet this fierce general."

Lu Xun asked, "Your Excellency, do you think so highly of Guan Yu?"

Yuan Xi said: "The three brothers of Liu Yuzhou are all heroes of the time. It would be a pity if we never meet each other in this life."

After everyone had made up their mind, Yuan Xi sent a letter to Mi Fang, saying that he would visit Qucheng early the next morning and request to meet Guan Yu.

Seeing Yuan Xi sending the letter away, Lu Lingqi said, "I'll go with you too."

Yuan Xi hesitated and said, "What are you going to do?"

Seeing this, Lu Lingqi snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know. Are you taking this opportunity to meet the girl from the Mi family?"

"Tell me the truth, have you two been secretly hooking up with each other for a long time?"

Yuan Xi was startled and said hurriedly: "Don't slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

"She and I are innocent, there is nothing else going on!"

Lu Lingqi looked disdainful, "Really?"

"I don't believe it!"

Yuan Xi sighed, "If you want to go, go ahead. But if you get into trouble, don't regret it."

Lu Lingqi cheered and said with a smile, "What are you regretting? Who dares to deal with us?"

Yuan Xi said: "Although it is unlikely, if Guan Yu wants to fight us, you, Sun Li and I will not be his match."

Lu Lingqi looked incredulous, "Is he really that powerful?"

Yuan Xi sighed, "In my opinion, fighting alone, he is stronger than Zilong and Ziyi. He can at least match two Yang Fengs at their peak."

After hearing this, Lu Lingqi was even more eager to try, "My husband, now that you say that, I'm even more interested!"

"I will definitely ask for your advice tomorrow!"

Yuan Xi shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself, don't bring shame upon yourself, just be beaten and cry.

Mrs. Du, who was serving tea, heard this and whispered, "Then tomorrow I will..."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi said firmly, "Tomorrow may not be without twists and turns. For safety reasons, I may not be able to protect Madam by then. Please stay in the mansion for the time being."

Mrs. Du did not expect Yuan Xi to refuse so bluntly. She was a little confused and had to agree.

Lu Lingqi waited for Madam Du to come downstairs to rest. She looked at Yuan Xi with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Is Madam Du very beautiful?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "It is indeed very beautiful."

Lu Lingqi's lips curled up, "Is my husband targeting her?"

Yuan Xi was startled and said hurriedly: "Where is it!"

"How could you think so!"

Lu Lingqi snorted, "I can tell from the way you stare at her. You dare to do it but you don't dare to take responsibility for it!"

"It's not a big sin for a man to be lustful. There's nothing shameful about talking about it. My father is even more out of touch than you, but it doesn't stop him from becoming famous."

"Besides, my husband doesn't mind being cold or alive. Even Madam Hou and Madam Wu, tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."

Yuan Xi was sweating profusely, and defended himself: "I have said it many times, Madam Wu's incident was an accident!"

"I really haven't thought about Mrs. Du's affairs. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Lu Lingqi still didn't believe it, and muttered: "Then why did you refuse so straightforwardly just now?"

"Isn't it because you don't want other men to see Madam Du?"

After hearing this, Yuan Xi felt guilty. He was originally going to see Guan Yu, and when he heard that Madam Du wanted to follow him, he instinctively refused. Now that he thought about it, he was afraid that if Guan Yu met Madam Du, something he didn't want to see would happen?

Although he didn't think he could bribe Guan Yu with Madam Du, the other party would never betray Liu Bei because of a woman, otherwise he would not be Guan Yu.

But judging from his subconscious reaction, could it be that he really has some covetous feelings towards Madam Du in his subconscious mind?

He didn't want to face this ugly self, so he stammered to Lu Lingqi, "It's getting late, and I have to go out early tomorrow morning."

Lu Lingqi looked out the window at the moon that had just risen halfway, and snorted, "Just pretend, it's just getting dark."

"Practice with me at night!"

Yuan Xi refused directly, "No, I can't beat you now, it's useless to be abused."

"I can still make do with the other kind of night training."

Lu Lingqi blushed and gritted her teeth, "Come on, you can beat me just lying down now?"

"Blow out the lights, who's afraid of who!"

Yuan Xi's hands trembled, "Don't regret it!"

Mrs. Du was lying on the couch in the first-floor room, listening to the faint voices of people coming from upstairs through the crack in the door. She could not help tossing and turning, and could not fall asleep.

She subconsciously put her ear against the wall, and the vague sound suddenly became clear.

The faint sound of sobbing made her face blush and her heart beat fast. Mrs. Du quickly slapped herself in the face, covered her head with the quilt, and clasped her arms tightly across her chest.

…

It was unknown how much time had passed before Mrs. Du lifted the quilt and suddenly sat up, breathing heavily, her clothes open and her hair disheveled.

She was stunned for a while, then slapped herself again, fell backwards and landed heavily on the couch.

The cool breeze from outside blew in, bringing with it a hint of early spring warmth. Mrs. Du stared at the roof for a long time before she fell asleep in a depressed mood.

The next morning, Yuan Xi sat up on the couch. He held onto the wall and groped his way down, his heart filled with humiliation and unwillingness.

Defeated!

I can't win even if I lie down!

When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly!

This was the first time he felt so regretful. Why didn't he have a talent for martial arts?

If this continues, where is the husband's authority?

He walked to the window, opened it, and looked out at the sea in the distance. His slightly hunched back was filled with loneliness and frustration at this moment.

From the bed behind her, Lu Lingqi's smiling voice came, "My husband is awake?"

"Good job, and continue tonight."

Yuan Xi said with a stiff face: "Who is afraid of who? Just wash yourself and wait!"

Seeing that Yuan Xi was still being stubborn, Lu Lingqi thought that he must be trying to trick her!

But last night was really thrilling. I almost got my weakness discovered. My husband is really cunning. In this tug of war, whoever can hold on longer will win the final victory!

This concerns her dignity as the daughter of the Lu family, and she must not fail!

I will definitely hide my weaknesses and defeat my husband completely!

On the ship to Qucheng, Lu Xun looked at Yuan Xi, whose eyes were swollen and he looked a little listless, and asked worriedly, "Brother, are you feeling unwell, or are you worried about something?"

Yuan Xi thought that there was indeed something big and round that was bothering him, so much so that he fought with it for most of the night and was eventually defeated.

He patted Lawrence Lu's shoulder and said earnestly, "Boyan, a married man does have a lot of troubles."

"Twenty years from now, when you are squatting in the toilet and don't want to leave, no, don't want to go home, you will understand what I said today."

Lu Xun was confused:???

When the ship docked, Yuan Xi went up to the dock and found that Mi Fang had already come to greet him. Mi Fang took Yuan Xi's arm affectionately and said with a smile, "I am very happy that you have come to visit me, Your Excellency!"

"I have prepared a little wine in my humble abode, and I hope you will come and enjoy it."

Yuan Xi saw that Mi Fang acted very familiar. Although his words were polite, his behavior was extremely intimate, as if he treated him as a family member.

Judging from his expression, I'm afraid he can't wait to marry Mi Zhen?

Thinking of this, Yuan Xi felt a little headache. He did not reject Mi Zhen, but Mi Fang was a landmine that always made him extremely alert.

In the future, if this scumbag brother-in-law wants to join me, and one day he gets his general into trouble, wouldn't I be so sad that I would not be able to cry?

Mi Zhen can be accepted, but Mi Fang should be declined. It would be best to find a way to let him continue to follow Liu Bei!

But Yuan Xi knew that if he were Mi Fang, facing Liu Bei, who only occupied a few counties and was almost forty years old, and Yuan Shao, who was in his twenties, occupied two large states, was personally appointed as a senior official by the emperor, and had the support of Yuan Shao, he would definitely choose to join the latter, right?

He pulled Lu Xun over and introduced him to Mi Fang: "This is my sworn brother, Lu Boyan from Jiangdong."

When Mi Fang met Lu Xun, he was puzzled, wondering why he had never heard of this man's name.

Brother-in-law? Isn't this the relationship between Liu, Guan and Zhang?

Why does Xionghu attach so much importance to this young man?

Seeing that Guan Yu was nowhere to be seen, Yuan Xi could not help but ask, "I want to see General Guan today, but I wonder..."

Mi Fang's face showed embarrassment. "I have sent people to invite General Guan, but General Guan only said he knew, but did not come."

After hearing this, Yuan Xi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, General Guan is very busy. I will go to visit him in person later."

He thought to himself that Guan Yu and Mi Fang had conflicting personalities. One didn't give face, and the other obviously held a grudge. It would be strange if nothing went wrong if this continued.

Everyone met each other one by one. Mi Fang saw a woman with outstanding appearance and figure following behind Yuan Xi, dressed neatly in Hu clothing, and couldn't help but say: "Who is this..."

Yuan Xi smiled and said, "I forgot to introduce myself."

"This is my wife, the daughter of Marquis Wen, who was given the title of Princess Pingyang by the emperor."

When Mi Fang saw him, he bowed and said, "Greetings, Lady Wenhou."

He became confused. Wasn't the other party here to see his younger sister?

If Yuan Xi really had feelings for my younger sister, why did he bring Miss Wenhou here?

Isn't this obviously embarrassing my little sister?
