Chunyu Yi remained silent for a long time. Old Duke Xiao, who was planning to make a miserable sacrifice for his grandson, glanced at her secretly between his fingers.

This child is too simple and kind.

Even though she had already talked about it, she still didn't have the heart to ask.

It really makes me anxious!

Chunyu Yi picked at the palm of her hand and finally said: "My little girl has been without a mother since she was a child. I can understand the pain of the young commander."

Old Duke Xiao put down his hand and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although what this girl said was far from what he imagined, it at least gave him a chance to continue.

"The Xiao family started with military exploits. Counting from the beginning of the Wei Dynasty, countless children have sacrificed their lives.

When the situation was at its worst, there were almost no people left to inherit the title.

So after I inherited the title, I re-established family rules, and the eldest son was not allowed to join the army.

But in this way, Xiaojiu's father was saved, but Xiaowu's father..."

Old Duke Xiao, who originally planned to do something miserable for his grandson, felt a lump in his throat and could no longer speak.

Chunyu Yi has always been the one who is comforted by others. Suddenly she needs to comfort others, and this person is also a famous general who is over sixty years old. She is really at a loss.

"Old Duke, please don't blame yourself. I can't blame you for this..."

Duke Xiao heaved a long sigh of relief: "After Xiaowu's father and uncle died in the country, I almost couldn't survive.

Fortunately, God has eyes and left a trace of blood for them.

When I first saw Xiao Wu, I made up my mind that I would rather he become a playboy in the future than let him join the army.

But this child was born to learn martial arts. Others couldn't learn it even if they were whipped, but he had to learn it even if he was whipped.

Coupled with the equally astonishing talent of Xiao Jiu, no one can stop him.

Xiao Wu has inherited the strengths of his parents. He is not only smart, but also extremely sensible.

His second brother is my eldest grandson, Xiao Qi and Xiao Ba are averagely talented, and Xiao Jiu is young and a girl. He is the only person best suited to take on this heavy responsibility.

So when he was still young, he made a fuss about joining the army with me, and deliberately got into a lot of trouble for this purpose.

I really couldn't stop him, so I could only fulfill his wish.

But in these years, I never feel at ease one day, and I just hope that he can start a family and live a good life with his beloved girl.

If the string is too tight, it needs to be loosened..."

Chunyu Yi was deeply touched in her heart.

She had always thought that Xiao Xuan was extremely handsome and that he held a title and military power at a young age, so she unconsciously downplayed or even ignored his sufferings.

After listening to the old man's story, she realized how shallow and ignorant she was.

Chunyu Yi mustered up her courage and said, "Old Duke, I appreciate that you think highly of my daughter, but the young commander doesn't seem to have that kind of interest in me.

And I don’t know if I can…”

"You and Xiao Jiu Xiaohan are good sisters, so you should have heard them talk about Xiao Wu's past.

What is his attitude towards other girls, and what is his attitude after learning that you are a girl?

You are a very smart child, you wouldn’t think that he was trying to coax you into building that serial crossbow, would you?”

When he said the last sentence, the old man's eyes were already full of smiles.

Chunyu Yi's face turned red again.

Xiao Xuan almost cursed her for staying up all night to build a serial crossbow. How could it be the reason mentioned by the old man?

But he looked down upon all the noble ladies of the Wei Dynasty, and even a cute girl like Xiaohan couldn't make him fall in love.

What can he see in himself?

Appearance? In front of him, she had not even revealed her true face.

Personality? He said more than once that she was as stubborn as a cow.

The dignified Marquis Zhongyong of Wei, the commander of hundreds of thousands of Wei troops, would not like an ordinary-looking bullock?

"Xiaomu doesn't believe what I say?" The smile in Old Duke Xiao's eyes became even stronger.

Without waiting for Chunyu Yi to reply, he added: "If you don't believe me, you should believe Xiao Wu's mother, right?"

"Ah?" Chunyu Yi was startled.

She heard from Hanzhi that Xiao Xuan's mother was the real mistress of the Duke's mansion in recent years. She had to deal with countless things every day and had not left Wei Jing in the past twenty years.

He and Xiao Xuan have only known each other for a month, and it has only been a few days since their identity was revealed. There is neither a relationship nor an engagement. How come his mother knows about it?

Old Duke Xiao laughed and said, "The day you drugged Xiao Wu, I sent a letter to the capital that night."

Chunyu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

Yanmen County is very far from Wei Jing, and it would take at least ten days for the old Duke's letter to be delivered to Xiao Xuan's mother.

In other words, she doesn't know about it yet, let alone has any opinions.

Old Duke Xiao laughed even louder.

"I use flying pigeons to send messages. I just received a reply from Xiaowu's mother this morning."

Chunyu Yi almost cried.

Does this old man want to be so hateful?

Who would have thought that Mr. Xiao’s real trump card was still to come.

"Xiaomu, Xiaowu's mother is already on her way to Yanmen County.

But her carriage moves very slowly, and it will take half a month to arrive, so don’t be too anxious!"

She is not in a hurry!

Chunyu Yi couldn't bear it anymore, and regardless of etiquette, she stood up and ran out.

No, she must have a serious talk with her father.

How powerful must be a woman who can keep such a huge palace in order, and a mother who can raise such outstanding children as Xiao Xuan and Han Zhi!

She can't handle someone as stupid as she is...

Lord Chunyu came back in the evening.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw his daughter sleeping soundly on the table.

He shook his head slightly, put down the medicine box and walked over slowly.

Falling in love without knowing it, this stupid kid really didn't care about anything in order to help Xiao Xuan build that serial crossbow.

Lord Chunyu lit the lamp and gently patted his daughter on the shoulder.

"Yier, wake up—"

Chunyu Yi sat up straight and raised his hand to block the dazzling light.

"Dad, you are back."

Lord Chunyu sat down next to her: "Why are you here? Have you had dinner?"

Chunyu Yi shook her head: "My daughter is not hungry, but she just has something to say to you."

Lord Chunyu smiled and said: "We are both fathers and you are so polite. Just say whatever you want."

"Dad, Xiao Xuan's mother is coming."

"Xiao Xuan's mother? Who did you hear this from?"

"It was the old Duke who just told me personally. He said that Xiao Xuan's mother has already set off and will arrive in half a month at most."

City Lord Chunyu couldn't help but laugh.

That old man was really Xiao Jiu's biological grandfather, and he was also very impatient.

Even though he had agreed not to care about the young people's affairs, he still couldn't help himself and summoned Xiao Xuan's mother.

This is obviously because he wants to take advantage of Xiao Xuan's absence to directly decide on the marriage!

Chunyu Yi's heart felt numb.
