Chapter 563 Meeting the Parents

In the afternoon, Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan, Xiao Yunxi, Sun Meng and other personal soldiers settled down under the arrangement of the Xiao family. The Xiao family did not know that Chen Mo, Yue Ruyan and Xiao Yunxi would sleep together, so they directly arranged three rooms for them.

Yue Ruyan personally helped Chen Mo clean up the room. While she was laying out the bedding, she said in a clear voice, "You said so much to Miss Zhihua before, but you fell in love with her."

Although she had followed Chen Mo for the shortest time, she knew that Chen Mo was good in every way except that he was too lustful. Zhi Hua also had a beautiful and refined appearance, so maybe Chen Mo had taken a fancy to her. Otherwise, he would not have asked so many questions, including asking if the other party was a local.

Chen Mo shook his head and said immediately: "I just feel strange."

"What's so strange about that?" Yue Ruyan had already made the bed and turned around to say.

"Ruyan, have you ever seen a brothel where the girl is a seventh-rank warrior?" Chen Mo said.

"She is a warrior?" Yue Ruyan asked in surprise. She didn't even notice it.

Although low-grade warriors are no different from ordinary people, it is difficult to tell if they are the same person unless they take the initiative to attack. But she is a high-grade warrior and can tell by the other person's breath. However, she did not notice Zhihua's strangeness before.

As for whether there were any warriors in the brothel, she had no idea, after all, she had never been to a brothel.

However, based on his own common sense and cognition, a seventh-rank warrior, unless he has a serious mental illness, would not degenerate into a brothel.

Moreover, according to Zhihua's life story, she was trafficked to a brothel. But how could the traffickers give them martial arts techniques and let them practice them in order to control these trafficked people?

The same goes for brothels. If the girls there are warriors, they will be an unstable factor for the brothel owners, and they will certainly not allow the girls to practice.

After hearing this, Yue Ruyan also discovered many things that were not right, and immediately guessed, "What if Huaxianglou wanted to sell Zhihua for a good price? Isn't there an exception to everything?"

"The owner of Huaxianglou is a really nice guy. Even if Zhihua is an exception, she shouldn't be unable to control a frightened carriage."

"You mean, she came specifically for you?"

At this moment, Yue Ruyan seemed to have turned into a detective who solved a case. She stroked her chin with her fingers. After a while, she said, "That's not surprising. So many ladies today want to have a relationship with you. It's not normal for Zhihua, who is the most beautiful woman in the brothel, to try to attract your attention."

Yue Ruyan just thought that Zhihua was using this method to attract Chen Mo's attention, hoping to enter the Anguo Mansion and achieve a class leap.

Even if Zhihua's identity was strange, she didn't think Zhihua wanted to do anything bad.

After all, there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

"What are you two talking about?"

Just then, Xiao Yunxi walked in.

Xiao Yunxi changed into a black long dress with gold patterns. She didn't have many accessories on her body and looked dignified and majestic.

"We're talking about Zhihua." Chen Mo said.

"Just now my cousin told me about Zhihua. She is the new courtesan selected by Huaxianglou this year, and she is still a virgin. Recently, Huaxianglou has begun to build momentum for her and has invited many famous talents in Yangzhou to write lyrics and music for her. It seems that Huaxianglou is planning to make a fortune from her." As she spoke, Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, glanced at Chen Mo, and said:
"If my husband likes her, I can ask my cousin to negotiate with Huaxianglou, and then Huaxianglou will surely send Zhihua to their door."

The cousin she was referring to was Xiao Quan.

Chen Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and he told Xiao Yunxi what he had just talked about with Yue Ruyan.

"A seventh-rank warrior." Xiao Yunxi was also stunned. Although she had never been to a brothel, as a native of Qinhuai County, she had never heard of any brothel that was so arrogant as to train a seventh-rank warrior to be a prostitute.

Moreover, Zhihua was less than 20 years old, and she was already a rank 7 warrior at the age of less than 20, which could be said to be quite talented. However, judging from the fact that she was sold to Huaxianglou when she was 13 years old, Huaxianglou had to invest a lot of resources in her in just a few years to transform her from an ordinary person into a rank 7 warrior. In other words, Zhihua was already a warrior before she was sold to Huaxianglou.

"Then shall I ask my cousin to check on her?" Xiao Yunxi said.

"Row."

Chen Mo nodded. Although he didn't care much about Zhihua, it would be okay to check it out as it was convenient for him.

Xiao Yunxi nodded, and then said, "Husband, mother wants to see you."

Chen Mo noticed her nervousness, walked to her side, held her hand, and said, "We came to Jiangnan this time to visit my mother-in-law. Don't be so nervous, relax."

Xiao Yunxi took a deep breath.

"Then Ruyan, you go down and rest first. I'll go with Yunxi." When Chen Mo went to see Xiao Yunxi's mother, it was impossible for him to bring Yue Ruyan with him.

The moon is like smoke, and the cicada nods lightly.

"Let's go."

Led by Xiao Yunxi, Chen Mo walked towards the Xiao family's ancestral home.

The father of Xiao Yunxi's grandfather, that is, the wife of Xiao Yunxi's great-grandfather, had three sons. Xiao Yunxi's grandfather was the eldest son, and the Xiao family was passed on to Xiao Yunxi's grandfather, and then to Xiao Yunxi's father, Xiao Jing.

However, Xiao Jing had few offspring, only a son and a daughter. After his son Xiao Chongrong died, only Xiao Yunxi was left.

Therefore, Xiao Jing planned to entrust the Xiao family to the lineage of the second son of Xiao Yunxi's great-grandfather. Xiao Quan was from this lineage.

In the hall of the ancestral home, Xiao Yunxi's mother, Xu, and a group of elders were all there.

Seeing Chen Mo and Xiao Yunxi coming together, especially when Chen Mo called himself "son-in-law" and addressed them as Xiao Yunxi did, they all showed surprise on their faces, and then one by one they became kind-hearted, and their faces lit up.

Of course, although Chen Mo called himself a junior, they did not dare to call Chen Mo "Xiao Mo, Mo'er" or the like, and still called him Duke Anguo.

Naturally, they did not dare to make things difficult for Chen Mo. Instead, they flattered and praised Chen Mo.

".Godfather." Xiao Zheng, who had changed his name from Chu to Xiao and was sitting by Xu's lap, came over and timidly called Chen Mo.

Xiao Yunxi looked at Chen Mo eagerly.

"Zheng'er is so good." Chen Mo picked up Xiao Zheng and said, "Foster father brought you a gift, Zheng'er, do you want it?"

"want to."

"Here you go." Chen Moru took out a palm-sized fat sword made of peach wood and gave it to Xiao Zheng like a magic trick.

The three-year-old child liked the fat sword very much and smiled happily.

Xiao Yunxi and the elders of the Xiao family all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.

After that, Xu called him to her side and started chatting about family matters.
