"I think I should laugh more often." This skin bag itself, although it doesn't matter, still has some redeeming qualities. At least the person in front of me deliberately cold-shoulders, unintentionally praises and makes people feel very happy. Everyone in this family is very interesting, and the days spent here are not so boring after all.

  Yuanshu couldn't help but roll her eyes at Pei Mingxuan, was this person here to find fault?

  Yuan Shuhuan no longer wanted to interact with Pei Mingxuan, although this person was very attractive from appearance to voice, and had a slender body honed from years of martial arts practice. Yuan Shuhuan felt that heaven was really too biased towards this person, at least compared to himself, a dark creature who didn't belong in the same world.

  Downstairs, he scooped up a bowl of warm bone soup and mixed it with medicinal powder to make a paste. He poured a pot of tea and went upstairs with Yuan Shu. "It's late now, and there aren't many people in my household, so just make do with something to eat." Pei Mingxuan's condition wasn't suitable for eating those ordinary foods, and Yuan Shu didn't plan on serving this gentleman bird's nest or ginseng either.

  Pei Mingxuan looked at the bowl in front of him, unsure what it was made of, but it smelled sweet and fragrant. Although it looked a bit plain, Pei Mingxuan picked up his spoon and took a bite, finding it more delicious than those refined porridges.

  "Master, they're actually feeding you this stuff!" An Mo looked at her master eating that black, gloopy substance and felt a surge of anger rising from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. This family was really going too far; Master had been raised in luxury since childhood, when had he ever eaten something like this?

  "An Mo, have I been too indulgent with you?" Pei Ming Xuan's face turned cold. What did this kid mean by saying this? The rooms in the host's house were used to accommodate themselves, and it was still a bit bullying for a guest like him to say so. If Han girl heard about it, that would be a disaster.

  "We're bullying him, you can just take your young master away." Yuan Shu Huan coldly interjected, this time unlike the previous deliberate estrangement, but truly distancing himself from Pei Ming Xuan. "Dong Fang Zhao, come and take him away for me."

  Yuan Shuhuan was not a person without temper, and at this moment, he could restrain himself from hitting someone, which was already a face-saving act for Pei Mingxuan. Although he knew that Pei Mingxuan's identity was extraordinary, Yuan Shuhuan would not lose face because of these things. "Is this answer satisfactory to you, An Mo Gongzi?"

  "Alright, Miss Yuan, why bother with a lowly person like me? If you want your young master to be well-behaved, just behave yourself." Dongfang Zhao could only put on a trademark smile, trying to win back Yuan Shuhuan's favor. If it weren't for Yuan Shuhuan being short of money, she probably wouldn't have let him go so easily.

  "Go to the temple and kneel for two hours by yourself." Pei Mingxuan looked at An Mo, this child had been spoiled by him a bit. The words that were interrupted by Yuan Shuheng and Dongfang Zhao before were ruthlessly spoken from Pei Mingxuan's mouth, although he knew An Mo was worried about him.

  "From now on, your meals will be prepared by Dongfang Gongzi or An Mo." Yuan Shuheng dropped this sentence and went down to arrange the layout of the door with Zhou Shu. Before that, he only let Zhou Shu clean up the place. Yuan Shuheng planned to make it a clothing store, and added some modern design elements to the layout.

  An Mo looked at the face of her own son and obediently went to kneel in the courtyard. She found that all the people in the courtyard didn't even give him a glance. This was also because Wang You had told others beforehand, after all, Wang You used to be from a big family and understood how important discipline was.

  "This one has a bit of a temper, I hope Your Highness won't mind." Dongfang Zhao bowed slightly to Pei Mingxuan, but his face didn't show much apology. Originally, it was because he was worried about An Mo's temper that he had locked An Mo in the mansion and then sent Pei Mingxuan over to find a doctor.

  Who would have thought that the little brat was so cunning, following the people who delivered the goods to their home. He discovered it and rode a fast horse over, but still couldn't stop the little brat, and in the end, it ended up like this. Dongfang Zhao's face didn't look good either. However, although Pei Mingxuan had been stripped of his military power, he was also the newly appointed king by the emperor, and people from such families couldn't afford to offend him.

  "It's just that I didn't expect this small courtyard to also be a place where dragons and tigers hide." Pei Mingxuan was referring to two people, one of whom was naturally the currently sharp-tongued Yuan Shuhuan, and the other was that silent and taciturn Fei Jian. That person's martial arts skills were not much weaker than his own, yet he was willing to be driven around by Yuan Shuhuan, a young woman.

  "It's indeed a pearl being thrown into the dark, but this is just the beginning. I believe Wang Ye is also eagerly anticipating how far that person can go." Such a bright and talented young girl, yet she has already caught people's attention with her debut, it's hard to imagine what kind of splendor she will display when she spreads her wings in the future.

  "That room is almost ready, isn't it?" Pei Mingxuan didn't intend to respond to Dongfang Zhao's topic, but instead watched as the Dongfang household carried in one after another of the luxurious furnishings that clashed with this small courtyard, delivering them to the slightly more humble room next door.

  "Just hang up the curtains and it's done." He knew, of course, that these things shouldn't belong here, but for someone with his status, even the word "humble" was a bit too much. Whether something is good or not still depends on who you are; someone like him, living in a humble abode yet having an extraordinary demeanor, wouldn't look out of place wearing imperial robes and walking down the street.

  The two big men in the girl's room, no matter how you look at it, feel a bit awkward. Fortunately, Yuan Shu Huan is not a cleanliness enthusiast, otherwise she would not have let Pei Ming Xuan enter her own room. Pei Ming Xuan took a glance around and thought that if there were multiple dressing tables, he might think this was a woman's room.

  However, looking at Yuan Shuhuan's attire, if it weren't for the dress and the two slight bulges on her chest, Pei Mingxuan would have almost mistaken her for a man. Thinking back to their first encounter, Yuan Shuhuan's four-two-thousand-jin move, Pei Mingxuan slowly closed his eyes.

  Unfortunately, Yuan Shu Huan was a girl, and fortunately, Yuan Shu Huan was a girl. "Eastern brother has not seen the two children of the Yuan family yet, unlike her sister who is as cold as ice." When he thought of the pure smile of the two children, Pei Ming Xuan's smile also had a hint of warmth.

  But it made Dongfang Zhao completely stunned, this man is exceptionally handsome, but no one has ever seen him smile before. Many noble women have dreamed of it, if they can get a smile from General Pei in this life, it would be enough. Who would have thought that today, here, she actually got a smile from this man.

  No wonder those women were so infatuated, their smiles could be described as captivating the city and the country. Dongfang Zhao thought to herself that she was really ignorant before, considering those ordinary beauties as stunning? After seeing Pei Mingxuan's breathtaking beauty, how could other beautiful faces still catch her eye?

  "You look quite lovely like this." This young master was also mature beyond his years, and even though he was born into a merchant family, he should have a bright future ahead of him.
