n, your grandson, was murdered by your family's house demon! You old fool, you don't even dare to fart!"Grandfather Three's face was full of pain. He probably wants to get me in trouble too, right But...Lin Yanqin was momentarily flustered and didn't know how to answer.

My brother propped one hand on the car roof, a sly and mischievous smirk playing on his lips —

"Miss Lin, would you like a lazy, unambitious, and morally questionable underground lover No commitment, no money needed, just occasional hookups."

Pffft!!

This, this...

Brother, how much more overpowered are you going to be!

Miss Lin was so frightened that her face turned red. The medicinal herbs she was carrying fell to the ground.

"I... This..."

Her eyes wanted to cry, her mouth wanted to smile, her hands and feet were at a loss, she didn't know how to answer at all.

My brother lowered his head slightly, staring at her intently, his tone not even a hint of joking —

"Before you get married, I'm always available...how about that"

How are you

How are you!

Lin Yanqin cried out, she bit her lip and answered in a small but firm voice: "Then... then... I won't get married..."

My brother grinned, snapping his fingers.

"Okay."

Before he could finish speaking, he bent down, picked up Lin Yanqin and walked home.

I was amazed!

The bodyguard was stunned!

Even the onlookers were dumbfounded!!

Outside the door, Old Man Chen was sweeping. His broom kept sweeping back and forth across his own feet. Didn't it hurt

At the shop, Tānlang was biting on a lollipop as he watched my brother carry Ms. Lín upstairs like he usually carried sacks of rice.

Behind the counter, Dad smashed his phone onto the counter, just like a kid who ditches their teammates in an online game.

My brother acted as if he didn't see anything, carrying Miss Lin back to his room and slamming the door shut.

The faux Western goods on the bookshelf swayed.

The room was quiet.

The symbolism in that closing door, we all understand it.

——Don't call him for dinner tonight. Dad, don't ask him to go out with you either. And Greedy Wolf, don't bother him about learning spells...

In short, tonight, even passing by his room would require tiptoeing.

The bodyguard went ballistic, charging into the shop in a flash. He looked like he was about to draw his gun!

"Stop, stop, stop!" I and Old Chen hurried to block the two bodyguards.

Old Chen brandished his broom and shouted, “Bad guys always get what's coming to them! Do you understand! Get lost! This is Miss’s order, disturbing her good deed. I’ll fire all of you!”

I secretly recited the Bao Fa to summon Bai Wu Chang, begging him to erase the information about the Wushi Mountain City that these two bodyguard brothers possess.

Bai Wu Chang smiled and said, “Okay, I might as well take a look at the Emperor’s children —”

Uh!

The two bodyguard brothers were fast asleep on my sofa. I brought over two thin blankets to cover them, and hurried upstairs to check on Bai Wu Chang. I was a little afraid he might hurt the child.

It's not that he would hurt the child, but I'm worried that his personality is too rough and tumble. What if he scares the child to tears!

"Rumbling rumbling... giggles..."

A strange sound came from the nursery. I twisted open the door and Bai Wu Chang was hovering by the crib, bending over to make a spooky face... a spooky face... a spooky face...

I'm at my wit's end. Seven Lords, you don't need to try so hard to put on a scary face. Just be yourself.

His face was as white as paper, with a pair of sinister tri-colored eyes that slanted upwards at the corners. His nose was high and aquiline, but his blood-red thin lips were terrifying, especially when he stuck out his tongue.

When it was dark, Yu returned to sleep. Yet, You Nan stayed awake, her eyes following Bai Wu Chang's every movement.

Bai Wuchang said with a smile, "Little Empress, this little Heavenly Emperor has the ability to see things. He can see me~~ Oh my, how cute! Here you go, here's a toy for you..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

He shook out all the contents of his wide sleeves.

“Want to play with some spirits Do you want a spirit summoning scroll Oh, this is today’s work assignment, I can’t give it to you.”

I covered my face, Jiang Qiyun...come back soon...

》》》

The next day was sunny. I don't know when Miss Lin left. Looking back at my brother, he was still in his usual lazy manner, playing games behind the counter.

Last night it was very quiet in his room, unnaturally quiet.

The silence allowed us to imagine many scenarios, but we couldn't be sure what was really going on.

Dad angrily said, "You good-for-nothing! All you do is play around! Don't you know our family is about to go broke Get out there and make some money! Since you have a wife now, you need to earn more!"

"Where do I have a wife You don't need to earn that much money." My brother glared at him.

Indeed, Miss Lin has absolutely nothing to worry about money.

My dad also came to his senses. That Miss Lin doesn't need my brother to support her, does she

"You can't just rely on handouts! There are so many people in the family to feed! As the head of the household, you need to act like it!"

"Oh... you remind me, Grandpa said if we run out of money, we can go to the basement and take out some antiques. Selling any one would be enough to cover our expenses..."

"Don't just sit around and wait for things to come!" my dad roared.

I can't help but smile a little. My brother and I don't have to go to school now, so we can only help out with housework and earn some money to support the family.

Those who were tracking us had a private conversation with my brother after which they said they would return to the imperial capital to report to "The Great Elder."

The current number one leader, the "Grand Elder," sensed some underhanded movements from the Situ family. He dispatched people to investigate secretly and after learning of our existence, he came to inquire about the situation. This "Grand Elder" wants to ensure no major issues arise during the latter half of his term, and then smoothly pass on the power baton to the Lin family.

Stealing half a day of leisure, my grandmother and I pushed two little dumplings in the courtyard basking in the sun. Grandma and the old woman together could chat about things up to the ninth heaven. After listening for a while, I fell asleep.

The wind chime rang at the front of the shop, and my brother lazily replied, "If you have something to say, otherwise, this store does not accept idle chatter."

A woman's voice spoke with displeasure, "No idle chatter I think your shop is very quiet, not a single customer."

"You're not a customer, are you Then beat it!"

My brother hates pretentious guests the most; he never has a good face for such people.

Alas, I let out a sigh and stood up. Business has to be done, after all. Otherwise, with so many mouths to feed, we'd truly starve.

"Welcome..." I walked into the store from behind.

That woman saw me, her expression softened a little: "Mu Xia Qiao, you're here."

"Do you know me" I also felt like I had seen her somewhere.

It's not surprising, most of the people in this circle are acquaintances.

She pursed her lips: "My name is Xi Lingzhou, the youngest disciple of Old Mrs. Ma. We met once when you went to find my master that day."

As soon as he said that, my older brother stood up from behind the counter and asked, "How's things going with Mrs. Ma We've been swamped all day, just got a moment to spare, haven't had a chance to check in yet."

Xi Lingzhou brushed her cherry-red, ear-length hair. Dressed in punk style, she looked like a trendy street person.

“What do you want to know My master and my senior sisters are much stronger than Old Monk Yuan Hui and Daoist Ling Xu. They’re holding that piece of wood down tight right now… Hmph, what about ‘only the Way is supreme’ or ‘Buddhist teachings are boundless’ It's all nothing compared to us women!”

My brother frowned and said, “Then why did you come to us”

"I..." She looked a little embarrassed, as if unwilling to admit defeat: "It's a bit of a personal matter. I heard you're in charge now and wanted to ask you to handle it..."he didn't torture me and even sent me out safely. Out of gratitude, I helped him find his wife after the fact, so he wouldn't have to go around testing people with his female gu – he’s been struggling...
