Chapter 242 Overwhelming Protective Love
Chapter 242 Overwhelming Protective Love
"Guard Luo Li, your master hasn't even spoken yet, and you're already spouting nonsense. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Puyang Xuan glanced meaningfully at General Yang and bowed respectfully, saying, "Greetings, General!"
Luo Lixin tensed up instantly. He hoped his mistress wouldn't blame him. How could he have forgotten the old general? He secretly glanced at General Yang. Hmm? A slight upturn at the corners of his mouth?! He didn't speak to stop him, looking like he was watching a good show—that meant he tacitly approved!
Once Luo Li loosened her grip, her words became even more unforgiving.
“Young Master Puyang, if I have done anything wrong, my master will punish me! Even if I am punished later, I must finish what I have to say! Our young lady is a low-key person and doesn't like to complain when she is wronged, but that doesn't mean no one cares! You can't force things. If you have something on your mind, or if you haven't thought it through, just say it. My young lady won't hold it against you!”
Pu Yangxuan had heard Mo Ye say that the people around Yang Jianwu were quite fierce, and that his subordinates should be warned in advance not to provoke them easily… Had he now offended Luo Li? Why was he completely humiliated the moment they met, and what's worse, Jianwu didn't even help him…
Tell Yuan Song to hurry back to Shamen. There's still Mingji left; her pregnancy is definitely showing now, it's time to deal with her! It'll also prevent anyone from bringing this up again later…
"Sword Dance, you know how I feel!"
Yang Jianwu had already forgiven Puyang Xuan in her heart, but she was too proud to say it. She looked up at the sky, the sunset was infinitely beautiful, and wondered if such a lovely moment was going to be wasted on the quarrel of these two idiots!
"Come inside, everyone! Grandpa must be tired from riding his horse this afternoon. Let's rest inside and talk about it later."
General Yang touched his nose. "Little brat, using me as a shield!" He gave a soft "hmm" and walked into the mansion first. "My granddaughter doesn't like others interfering in her affairs; I'll just watch."
Puyang Xuan followed Yang Jianwu inside. After taking only a few steps, Luo Li caught up and tugged at Puyang Xuan's sleeve, whispering, "Young Master Puyang, love that comes late is worthless. Tell me, what kind of thing did you do today? You hurt my young lady's heart without even realizing it!"
Puyang Xuan suppressed his anger. This Luo Li was so annoying! From the moment he opened his mouth, he had been trying to sow discord between him and Jianwu. What did he mean by "love that came late"? He was the one who fell in love with Jianwu first! Fortunately, Jianwu was reasonable and just listened.
"Luo Li, it's not too late for my love, please stop interfering!"
Puyang Xuan looked at Yang Jianwu's back, seemingly answering Luo Li, but actually explaining to Yang Jianwu.
"I was orphaned at a young age and was adopted by the old palace master. The old palace master has been gone for many years, and no one has taught me how to meet my elders! The first time I faced the parents of the person I love, I felt flustered and didn't know how to interact with them..."
Yang Jianwu felt a little sorry for Puyang Xuan, but she was more annoyed that he hadn't explained earlier. Otherwise, she wouldn't have had to suffer for nothing for a whole day.
Luo Li shut her mouth at the right time. They had already gone this far; it would be too inhumane to push them any further!
Unfortunately, Yuan Suxin, who had come to the courtyard, overheard these words. Overwhelmed with protectiveness, she stepped forward and took Puyang Xuan's hand, leading him into the hall.
She kept comforting Puyang Xuan, "Ah Xuan, from now on, the General's Mansion will be your home. I will treat you like my own son. Tell me anything you want to say. If Wu'er bullies you, tell me too, and I'll take care of her!"
Yang Jianwu, "..."
As it turns out, this is the real mother!
Once at the dining table, Yuan Suxin's mouth never stopped. One of them chattered on and on while the other listened intently, recounting every funny and embarrassing story, big or small.
"Ah Xuan, you don't know how adorable Wu'er was when she was little. She was so fair and tender, soft and cuddly, you just wanted to kiss her!"
"Auntie, looking at how beautiful Jianwu has become, I can only imagine how adorable she was as a child!"
Puyang Xuan smiled and agreed, his thoughts unconsciously drifting back to that time in the space. Now, seeing Jian Wu, he also wanted to go up and kiss her.
"Sigh, what's the use of her being so beautiful? She used to be so naughty, always running off and making her family worry all the time that she'd be kidnapped. We scolded her several times to no avail, and then we found out that it wasn't kidnappers who kidnapped her, it was she who kidnapped others! Look, Luo Li was one of them! I heard there's even a 'Li' gang, tell me, how many children must they have kidnapped!"
Yang Jianwu chuckled. She had gathered people to form a team, but her mother had described it as kidnapping children. It was utterly ridiculous…
With a forced smile, he served Yuan Suxin the dishes, saying, "Mother, there's a lot of food today. Don't just chat, eat your food."
After saying that, he didn't forget to give General Yang and Yang Boshan meaningful glances, signaling them to quickly tell their mother to shut up! This wasn't a chat; it was clearly a one-sided attempt to make fun of her...
One of General Yang's greatest joys was listening to his granddaughter's amusing stories. He couldn't bear to stop her and would occasionally chime in with a few words of addition.
Yang Boshan wanted to speak, but with his father and wife on the other side, he had no say...
Yang Jianwu's attempt to forge an alliance failed, and he could only continue to laugh awkwardly as he listened to his mother recount the stories of the past.
……
“Jianwu has grown up now, and it’s common for us to go months without seeing her at the General’s Mansion! Ah Xuan, if you two get married, you must come back to the General’s Mansion to visit often!”
