<h4>Chapter 225: Meeting His Son-inw</h4> <h4><strong>Trantor: </strong>Henyee Trantions <strong> Editor: </strong>Henyee Trantions</h4>


    After Ah Wei killed the person, Yu Wan entered the house.


    Yu Wan did not expect to see such a bloody scene in her room. A familiar man was standing in front of her bed, stabbing another… person wrapped in her nket?


    Yu Wan was about to ask what was going on when Yu Feng arrived with a sheep. Soon, Yu Song also arrived. Immediately after, Aunt Bai, who was selling bamboo shoots at Yu Wan’s house, also arrived.


    The moment Aunt Bai shouted in a loud voice, the entire vige came.


    “Ah Wan’s house has a thief! That person was afraid of being discovered by me, so he hid in Ah Wan’s bed. He wants to harm Ah Wan! It’s the new family… What’s their name again?”


    “Ah Wei,” Cui Hua said.


    Aunt Zhang said, “Yes, yes, yes, it’s Ah Hey!”


    Ah Wei: “My name is Ah Wei! Not Ah Hey!”


    “Ah Hey discovered that the thief had sneaked into Ah Wan’s room and wanted to find him. In the end, he angered him and he wanted to kill Ah Hey to silence him! Fortunately, Ah Hey is skilled!”


    Aunt Zhang, Cui Hua, and the others stood outside Yu Wan’s room and talked as if they had seen everything.


    Yu Shaoqing moved the corpse out, afraid that it would scare the vigers, and ced it in the bamboo forest in the backyard. The vige headman, Shuanzi, Shuanzi’s brother, Erniu, and the others had all rushed over when they heard the news. Shuanzi’s brother and Erniu had killed enemies on the battlefield. They were not afraid of death, but the vige headman and Shuanzi had a cold chill up their backs.


    “Should we report it to the authorities?” asked the vige headman.


    After Yu Shaoqing finished checking the corpse, he frowned and said, “There’s no need. The authorities don’t care about such people.”


    He did not say much, but the people present were not stupid. Someone who could not even be controlled by the authorities must have a powerful background. The vige headman had never seen the world and was at a loss for a moment.


    “Was… was it sent by the person who snatched your military achievements?” The vige headman guessed.


    It was no wonder that the vige headman guessed this. The only big shot the vige headman knew who did not get along with the Yu family was the one who had snatched the military achievements. It was said that he had even been conferred the title of Marquis and was highly regarded by the Emperor.


    Yu Shaoqing shook his head secretly. If this person was guarding Yu Shaoqing’s room, they might be able to think that he was sent by Yan Congming, although they didn’t think that Yan Congming had the ability. But he was guarding his daughter’s room. It seemed like he was here for his daughter.


    “It’s Xu Shao,” Yu Wan said to her father after the vige headman left.


    Only the father and daughter were left in the room. Yu Shaoqing nodded. Xu Shao had a sister who was a Worthy Consort and a nephew who was a Prince. No matter how he looked at it, his background was stronger than Yan Congming’s. Of course, he also had a better motive to hurt Yu Wan.


    “He’s a sacrificial soldier,” Yu Shaoqing said.


    Yu Wan looked at her father in confusion.


    Yu Shaoqing took out a silver mask from his pocket. “And a silver-masked sacrificial soldier,” he said.


    Yu Shaoqing had never been in the pugilistic world, but he had heard many rumors about sacrificial soldiers in the camp. Sacrificial soldiers were a killing tool that had been nurtured in an extremely cruel way. From the day they became sacrificial soldiers, they hadpletely thrown away everything from the past. They could not live like normal people, but normal people could not fight like them. Once they were given an order, they would either die orplete their mission. That was why they were called sacrificial soldiers.


    The Xiongnu also had sacrificial soldiers who had killed many of their generals. Yu Shaoqing had met them before, but those were the most basic sacrificial soldiers. Even so, he felt that it was very troublesome. He did not dare to imagine that Xu Shao had actually sent out a silver-masked sacrificial soldier. He was determined to take his daughter’s life.


    “Thank you so much, little brother,” Yu Shaoqing said after the disaster. If he hadn’t stabbed him to death, he probably wouldn’t have been a match for this sacrificial soldier with his skills. At that time, his daughter would have been in danger.


    Yu Wan agreed. “I’ll go thank him!”


    Yu Wan left the house and met Madam Jiang at the door.


    “Where is Ah Wan going?” Madam Jiang asked.


    Yu Wan said, “Ah Wei saved me. I’ll thank Ah Wei.”


    Madam Jiang smiled gently. “Okay.”


    Yu Wan carried a jar of stinky tofu, and the three littleds also followed. They also asked Yu Wan for a small jar each. Yu Wan carried the big jar, and they carried the small jars and rushed to look for Ah Wei.


    Ah Wei was surrounded by a group of aunties at the vige entrance, praising and asking.


    Ah Wei was single.


    It took Ah Wei a lot of effort to finally get rid of the group of aunts. However, before he could take two steps, he bumped into Yu Wan, who hade to thank him.


    Yu Wan blocked his path and apologized for the unpleasant meeting earlier on. “…I was rudest time. Don’t mind me, Brother Ah Wei.”


    She was talking about the first day Ah Wei and the others moved here that they did not tie the horse properly. In the end, the horse ran next door and ate the vegetables that Aunt Zhang nted. Yu Wan personally led the horse back and even warned him to look after his horse.


    “I thought Brother Ah Wei was a difficult person to get along with.”


    <i>I was originally! I’m the most difficult to get along with!?</i>Ah Wei rubbed his hands together.


    “Thank you for this matter, Brother Ah Wei.” Yu Wan handed the jar in her hand to him. “Brother Ah Wei, you’re really a good person.”


    <i>I’m not!!!?</i>Ah Wei roared in his heart.


    At this moment, the three littleds also walked forward and gave the small jars they had carried all the way to Ah Wei.


    When Ah Wei saw the little munchkins who were not even as tall as his knees, he immediately exploded! Children were all demons! Ah Wei hated children!


    The little munchkins reached out to hug Ah Wei’s leg. Ah Wei jumped up as if he was avoiding a gue! The range of that action was too great. The little munchkins were first stunned, then theyughed like pigs.


    The three of them didn’t even want the jars anymore. They stood on their tiptoes and stuffed the jars into Yu Wan’s arms before slipping away to chase after Ah Wei.


    Ah Wei fled crazily! The little munchkins stretched out their little hands and chased after him,ughing like pigs behind him.


    The little munchkins liked Ah Wei. Ah Wei did not like the little munchkins.


    Wu ~


    Yu Wan saw that the three of them were having fun, so she did not force the stinky tofu and sour bamboo shoots into Ah Wei’s hands. Instead, she turned around and sent them to Ah Wei’s house. (Uh, is it really okay to leave her sons to a viin from the Ghost n?)


    The little munchkins’ pig-likeughter sounded all the way, and half of the vige heard it. After finally getting rid of the littleds, Ah Wei felt that he was half dead.


    “Ah Wei knows how to coax children!” An auntie said.


    After beating up the evil thief and coaxing the children, Ah Wei became the most perfect person in the vige.


    No! He was the number one viin in the n!


    In order to prove that he was indeed evil and had a bad temper, Ah Wei decided to teach them a lesson. Coincidentally, at this moment, Aunt Zhang painstakingly moved out a box. The box was huge and looked like it was quite old. It must have contained a lot of good things.


    Ah Wei walked over without a word and raised his fist. “Tsk!”


    The box was smashed into pieces, turning into wooden boards. Ah Wei raised his chin. Stupid vigers. Now they should believe that he, Ah Wei, would do anything!


    “Aiya!” Aunt Zhang shouted and grabbed Ah Wei’s hand. “This box has been used by termites. I was just about to chop it up and use it as firewood. Unfortunately, this is old heavy wood. I couldn’t chop it even after chopping for a long time. Thank you, Ah Hey!”


    Ah Wei, who hadpletely broken down: “…”


    … .


    The sacrificial soldier was dragged by Yu Shaoqing to the back of the mountain to be buried, but after thinking for a while, Yu Wan still felt that it was necessary to tell Yan Jiuchao. She guessed that it was Xu Shao, but there was no evidence. What if she guessed wrongly? Also, on the surface, this person was here for her, but it was very likely that he was here to hurt Yan Jiuchao. No matter what, she had to remind Yan Jiuchao.


    In the evening, the waiter from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion came to get a batch of sour bamboo shoots. Yu Wan sealed the letter that she had written and handed it to the waiter from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, asking him to go to the Young Master Manor. She originally wanted to say that she would personally hand it to Yan Jiuchao, but she was worried that Yan Jiuchao had left the manor, so she instructed the waiter to hand the letter to Uncle Wan or Shadow Guards.


    There should at least be one of these three people left in the manor.


    Yu Wan did not borate on whether it was Shadow Six or Shadow Thirteen. In her opinion, this was not important. The two of them were loyal to Yan Jiuchao, so it did not matter who they handed it to.


    Yu Wan was the second-inmand of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. The shop assistant naturally did as she instructed.


    The shop assistant first sent the goods to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Then, he went to the Young Master Manor without stopping and asked the pageboy if there was someone called Uncle Wan or a guard with the surname Shadow.


    Shadow Six had returned from gathering information. When he heard the shop assistant’s words, he dismounted and asked him, “What’s the matter?”


    “Are you from… the manor?” The shop assistant asked cautiously.


    The pageboy guarding the door went forward and greeted, “Shadow Guard!”


    This was the Shadow Guard. The shop assistant quickly took out the letter Yu Wan had given him and handed it to him with both hands. “This is our second boss’s letter. She instructed me to personally pass it to Uncle Wan or the Shadow Guard. I’m from the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.”


    Upon hearing about the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, what else did Shadow Six not understand? Shadow Six epted the letter and entered the Young Master Manor.


    In the study, Yan Jiuchao was quietly sitting behind his desk. There was a letter sealed with wax on the table in front of him. He did not open the letter immediately. Instead, he rubbed the little snow fox on hisp. Without his sons to y with, he could only y with the snow fox, whose life was miserable.


    The little snow fox twisted its body unhappily and stretched out its ws to fish for the letter on the table. However, its ws were too short and it could not get it after fishing for half a day.


    Yan Jiuchao snorted. “Tomorrow is Yu Shaoqing’s birthday. She rushed to send a letter to me at this time. Guess… why?”


    Shadow Six said bluntly, “Because of an emergency?”


    Yan Jiuchao nced at him coldly.


    Shadow Thirteen said without changing his expression, “She must want to invite Young Master to celebrate Master Yu’s birthday tomorrow.”


    Yan Jiuchao scoffed. “Who do you think she can hide her thoughts from? She even wanted to hand it over to Uncle Wan or the Shadow Guard personally. It’s as if she’s afraid that everyone doesn’t know that she misses me.”


    Shadow Six: Don’t you think your words are contradictory…


    Yan Jiuchao opened the letter proudly. After reading it, his face darkened.


    Shadow Six’s heart skipped a beat. What was Young Master up to again?


    Yan Jiuchao looked at Shadow Six and drawled, “Are you sure there isn’t any more?”


    “No! Look at that wax… Ah!” Shadow Six was halfway through his sentence when Shadow Thirteen pinched him hard.


    Shadow Thirteen said, “I saw a piece of paper fall on that shop assistant’s carriage. I didn’t think too much about it.”


    Yan Jiuchao snorted coldly. “I knew it!”


    Shadow Six, whose mouth twitched: “…”


    “Then is Young Master going?” Shadow Thirteen asked.


    Yan Jiuchao scoffed. “What if I don’t go? What if she makes a fuss? I can’t afford to be embarrassed!”


    Shadow Six: Uh… She can make a fuss. But how did it be that you can’t afford to be embarrassed? Could it be that you already treat her as one of your own…


    “Then the congrattory gift…” Shadow Thirteen looked at Yan Jiuchao.


    Yan Jiuchao said casually, “Just give her something random. If it’s too heavy, it’ll make me look like I’m being vague with her. It’s as if I can’t wait to propose marriage to her!”


    Uncle Wan, who had just reached the door: “…”


    Uncle Wan took a deep breath and pulled over the pageboy beside him. He sighed helplessly. “…Go catch a pair of geese. We’re going to the countryside to propose marriage tomorrow.”


    The Xu Manor was brightly lit.


    “What did you say? He missed?” Xu Shao looked at his confidant in disbelief.


    The confidant stood up and walked to the door. He looked at the corridors on both sides and after confirming that there was no suspicious person, he closed the door and said to Xu Shao, “Yes, Master, he missed.”


    “How did he miss? Where… where is he?” The person that Xu Shao asked was the sacrificial soldier.


    The confidant said regretfully, “He’s dead. He was killed.”


    Xu Shao waspletely shocked. It was fine if he failed, but someone actually killed him? The person he sent out was a proper silver-masked sacrificial soldier. It was difficult to find his match in the entire Central ins. Originally, he thought that sending such an expert to deal with a girl was like using a butcher’s knife to kill a chicken. He thought that he had made a fuss because Yan Jiuchao had forced him into a corner, but in the end, he had overestimated the strength of the silver-masked sacrificial soldier?


    If they sent an ordinary secret guard, would there be nothing left of that guard?


    “Who killed him?” Xu Shao asked coldly.


    It couldn’t be that girl. Even if that girl had some martial arts, she didn’t have internal energy. It was impossible for her to kill such a powerful sacrificial soldier. It shouldn’t be Yu Shaoqing either. Yu Shaoqing was good at arranging troops, killing enemies on the battlefield, but assassinating? He was inferior to the silver-masked sacrificial soldier.


    “It’s the group of people who stayed in the Zhao family,” the confidant said.


    The news of Ah Wei killing the thief to save Ah Wan had long spread in the vige. The vige headman and Shuanzi’s brother thought that it was an assassin sent by the Yan family, while the vigers thought that it was an ordinary thief. No matter what, it was Ah Wei who killed him. Ah Wei had made a great contribution, and the entire vige was discussing him.


    “Didn’t Master say… they’re not Yan Jiuchao’s people? Why are they protecting that girl?” The confidant did not understand.


    Xu Shao was even more confused. He was sure that he had not judged wrongly. Since that group of people could stay in the Zhao family, it was definitely not arranged by Yan Jiuchao. However, if it was not arranged by Yan Jiuchao, who could it be? Who could mobilize an expert who could kill the silver-masked sacrificial soldier with one strike?


    Xu Shao did not believe that those people were with Yu Wan.


    He said, “Maybe there’s a misunderstanding. Go investigate again.”


    “Yes!”


    … .


    Yu Shaoqing woke up before dawn. He woke up earlier than any other day for no other reason than that today was his birthday. He could finally receive the gift his daughter had personally made for him.


    In order to pretend not to know, he had almost suffocated to death recently. What would his daughter give him?


    <i>“Dad,e over for a while. These are the shoes I made for you. Although they’re not very good, it’s my first time making a man’s shoes… Dad, try them first.”?</i>Yu Shaoqing’s big feet moved, as if he could already feel thefort of the shoes under his feet.


    Little Bruiser went to pee and saw his father standing outside the kitchen with a silly smile. He didn’t need to guess to know that his father was thinking about his little red dress again! Seriously! A man actually had such a fetish. Wasn’t it embarrassing! He had nothing to say about him!


    Little Bruiser returned to his room feeling depressed. He looked at his mother sympathetically and climbed into bed to continue sleeping.


    When he wasn’t waiting for anyone, time would slip away with a whoosh. When he really waited, he felt that every day was like a year. Yu Shaoqing paced outside his daughter’s door for a while and decided to find something for himself to do first. He first fermented the dough and then went to the backyard to dig bamboo shoots. He nned to make buns with braised meat and spring bamboo shootster.


    The Yu family fed a sheep. Yu Feng bought it yesterday from Pear Vige. Yu Wan had asked him to buy it. It was a ewe and also produced goat milk.


    Not long after Yu Shaoqing went to dig bamboo shoots, Yu Wan also woke up. As soon as she woke up, the three littleds seemed to have sensed something and woke up together.


    Yu Wan put on their clothes and led them to the courtyard. They obediently sat on their small toilet.


    Yu Wan went to squeeze the goat’s milk. After cooking it, she put it into three small sheepskin bags. These sheepskin bags had been modified by Yu Wan. Two handles were added to the bag, and a hole was dug into the wooden stopper. A reed tube was inserted, and the ancient version of the little milk bottle was born.


    After the three littleds finished peeing, they were pulled by Yu Wan to wash up. They grabbed their little milk bottles with both hands and sat on the threshold of the central room to drink.


    Yan Jiuchao’s carriage stopped outside the Yu Family’s door. He alighted from the carriage and saw this scene.


    The three little fellows sucked hard, and sweat broke out on their foreheads, but they looked serious and satisfied.


    Yan Jiuchao’s heart softened. The corners of his lips subconsciously curled into a smile. Just as he was about to call out to them, Yu Shaoqing, who had returned from digging bamboo shoots, strode out.


    He had heard themotion from the carriage and guessed that there were guests at home. Just as he was about to entertain them with a polite smile, in the end, he saw the handsome Yan Jiuchao and… the pair of shoes that his daughter had personally made for him.
