Chapter 541 Hello, Uncle 8
"Honey! Why did you leave first? You didn't even wait for me!"
The silver-haired man's voice was loud and clear, with a hint of aggrieved urgency. He opened his arms as if he wanted to hold the Yaksha tightly in his embrace, as if he was afraid the Yaksha would run away.
This sudden scene left everyone stunned.
Rakshasa's beautiful eyes widened as she looked back and forth between the Yaksha and the silver-haired man with great interest, her eyes full of curiosity and inquiry that "there's something to see."
When Yaksha saw the newcomer, a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across her charming and smiling face. Then, she raised her eyebrows and, without any politeness, raised her fan and slapped it precisely on the back of the silver-haired man's outstretched hand with a "smack," her voice both coquettish and reproachful.
"Madam Xue! Behave yourself! What are you doing shouting and yelling in public? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Yes, yes, yes, then I won't call you 'baby,' I'll call you 'darling,' okay?"
Madam Xue winced and withdrew her hand, but she wasn't annoyed at all. Instead, she chuckled foolishly, her gaze fixed on Yaksha as if glued to him, without even blinking.
"Judging from this, Uncle Xue, you've finally... seen the light at the end of the tunnel and won over Aunt Ye?"
Bai Yue's gaze shifted between Madam Xue and the blushing Yaksha, a knowing smile playing on her lips as she teased.
Upon hearing this, Madam Xue straightened her back immediately, nodded vigorously, and couldn't wait to share her joy.
"That's right! Little Yue'er, you don't know, my darling last night..."
"Madam Xue! Shut up!"
Yaksha was both ashamed and anxious. She swung her fan out again with a "whoosh," this time hitting Madam Xue squarely on the forehead.
The other person winced as he was hit, but still covered his forehead, grinning foolishly with a blissful expression.
"Hehe, a beating is a sign of affection! I love my darling's feisty side!"
Looking at Madam Xue's foolish, henpecked attitude, Bai Yue couldn't help but shake her head and whisper to Luocha beside her.
"Aunt Luo, my Uncle Xue has never been very bright to begin with, and now that he's in love, he's completely..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Xiuyu came out of the inn. When he saw Shen Xingmian being protected by Ming Jingxing, he looked surprised and quickly walked over.
"Aunt, what are you doing here?"
"Great, Xiuyu, I've finally found you!"
Shen Xingmian's face lit up with a genuine smile as soon as she saw Fu Xiuyu.
Just as she was about to step forward, Ming Jingxing beside her frowned and spoke to Fu Xiuyu with displeasure.
"Hey kid, aren't you coming over here right now? Do you expect my Xingmian to come looking for you?"
"Hey, old monster! What kind of attitude is that?!"
Fu Wenzhu immediately lost her temper and yelled at Ming Jingxing.
"This is my grandson, don't you dare boss him around like that!"
"Old Fu, does that mean you want to fight?"
Ming Jingxing raised an eyebrow. He never gave anyone other than Shen Xingmian a friendly look, and his tone was full of provocation.
"Fight if you want! Who's afraid of who!"
Fu Wenzhu was not to be outdone, and rolled up her sleeves to step forward.
"I've disliked you ever since!"
"Alright, Brother Ming."
Shen Xingmian gently held Ming Jingxing's hand, her voice as soft as water.
"Since this Brother Fu is Xiu Yu's grandfather, then he's my in-law. Can you please stop arguing?"
"Oh, Xingmian, I was just joking!"
Ming Jingxing instantly changed his tune, putting on a fawning smile as he turned to Fu Wenzhu and said with a forced smile.
“Old Fu, my Xingmian said not to fight, and you shouldn’t be shouting about fighting all the time. It’s too disruptive to the harmony.”
"Heh, looks like I can't call you Tianyi anymore, I'll have to call you Tianyi the Old Dog!"
Fu Wenzhu scoffed.
"So what if she has someone she likes? Is it really necessary to be so hypocritical?"
Before he could finish speaking, Fu Xiuyu looked at Fu Wenzhu in astonishment, his voice trembling slightly.
"Grandpa, do you mean this senior is my aunt's... new royal consort?"
"That's right!"
Ming Jingxing immediately straightened his back and spoke with a proud expression.
"I am Xingmian's new imperial consort. From now on, you can call me uncle!"
Fu Xiuyu remained silent for a long time, looking at Ming Jingxing's smug expression, before finally cupping his hands in a gesture of respect and reluctantly calling out.
"Hello, Uncle Ba!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Fu Wenzhu could no longer hold back and burst into laughter on the spot. Ming Jingxing looked depressed, but because Shen Xingmian was present, he could only hold it in, feeling extremely frustrated.
Seeing this, Bai Yue quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, smiling as she spoke to Fu Wenzhu.
"Uncle Fu, I have good news for you! Your great-aunt came this time to take you back to the Kingdom of Flowers!"
"Take me back to the Kingdom of Flowers?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuyu froze on the spot, his eyes filled with disbelief, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
Shen Xingmian stepped forward, looked at him gently, and said softly.
“Xiuyu, Xiaoyue is right. I came here this time to take you back to the Kingdom of Hundred Flowers.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Xiuyu's eyes lit up at first, but then dimmed again. He turned his head awkwardly, his voice tinged with self-deprecation and grievance.
"Aunt, please don't try to comfort me. I... I caused such a big mess back then. Xiaofei... she must still be angry with me and doesn't want me anymore."
Seeing his dejected appearance, Shen Xingmian couldn't help but chuckle.
She stepped forward and gently patted Fu Xiuyu's shoulder, speaking softly.
"Silly child, what are you thinking? It was Xiaofei who wrote to me, asking me to make sure you are brought back safely."
She watched as Fu Xiuyu's eyes widened instantly, and slowly relayed Ye Fei's words.
She said, 'What happened back then was entirely her fault. She failed to understand your good intentions. She asked me to apologize to you on her behalf. Please... don't be angry anymore, go home.'"
Fu Xiuyu listened blankly, each word like a heavy hammer blow to his heart.
His feigned composure crumbled instantly, his nose stung, and his eyes quickly reddened.
"aunt……"
His voice was choked with emotion, thick with a nasal tone.
"Xiaofei really said that? She...she didn't abandon me? And she said it was her fault?"
Shen Xingmian nodded firmly, her eyes full of affection.
"Xiuyu, Xiaofei may have someone in her heart, but she is also a woman of deep affection and loyalty."
"She remembers clearly who is good to her and everything they have done for her, even if she doesn't say it. So don't underestimate yourself. Come back with me. She's been waiting for you."
Just then, Fu Wenzhu walked over slowly. He looked at Fu Xiuyu, whose eyes were red and who was emotional, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
