A Thousand Faces of Grace

Chapter 10 The Troublemaker Comes Again

At the end of spring, the new lotus in Yinglian Pond first emerged from the water, and the sharp green leaves poked out their heads. They seemed to be sleepy and looked at the world ignorantly. A small dragonfly sat on it, exploring novel things. .

At the beginning of the morning sun, the morning light is faint, and the surroundings are full of vitality.

A woman in a blue coarse cloth dress sat quietly on a wooden bench beside Yinglian Pond, holding a delicate and sharp dagger in her hand, mechanically sharpening a wooden hairpin.

No matter the expressions or movements are dull, people can conclude at a glance: this is a dull and problematic girl.

A high-quality girdle was casually placed on the wooden chair beside it, with crooked patterns embroidered on it, and it was impossible to tell what it was.

This just elevates her stupidity to the level of stupidity, and it couldn't be more harmonious.

This person is Xiao Muli.

Ever since Lan Junque declared to his face that he wanted to marry her as a princess, the days have not stopped.

From time to time, people trouble her, and of course they are mostly women.

The mentality of these women is really strange. If they are asked to marry Lord Shashen in person, they will definitely not be willing to do so, but seeing that a person who is a fool in their eyes is marrying a high-ranking King Junque, they feel uncomfortable in every possible way. Taste, probably means that what I don’t want can’t be given to others for nothing.

So, after hearing that the king announced that he wanted to marry her as his concubine, all the little fish and shrimp that had been quiet all of a sudden popped up.

Work together to bully her.

Hey, it's really sad.

To agree, or not to agree?
Xiao Muli sat beside the lotus pond in the backyard of Xiao's house, contemplating deeply.

According to her observation these days, this time the matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface. Unknowingly, he escaped from this huge vortex smoothly.

If you don't agree, you will miss an opportunity to leave the Xiao family in an open and honest manner.

She can't stay in Xiao's house anymore, if she stays any longer, that secret will be discovered sooner or later, and she dare not even think about what will be waiting for her at that time.

Besides, she doesn't want to pretend to be stupid any more, life like this is too boring.

Xiao Muli's heart began to stir.

However, before she could make up her mind, another sneer sounded in her mind.

Promise, if you promise, I'm afraid you will die faster and more miserable, what kind of character is Lord Shashen, how can you, a little girl, be able to resist!
Xiao Muli's face immediately turned down, even though she was a slut in the eyes of outsiders, she had already heard of the evil name of Lord Shashen.

If that rumor is true, if she agrees, her life is indeed in jeopardy!
How to choose?
This matter has to be discussed in the long term.

Xiao Muli sighed slightly.

It didn't take long before there were sounds of punching and kicking, as well as the clanging of swords and swords, from the martial arts training ground not far away. It was time for the descendants of the Xiao family to practice in the morning.

A good and promising day begins.

Xiao Muli didn't need to raise his head to know that the peach forest opposite the martial arts field was also bustling.

Spring is strong, peaches and plums are fragrant.

The peach forest is full of colorful flowers, a prosperous scene.

Stone tables and benches stand under the peach trees arranged in an orderly manner. A group of beautifully dressed female relatives dressed in bright yellow, pink and green are sitting in groups of three or four. Fresh tea fruit and exquisite snacks are placed on the stone table.

As a family of military generals in Lantian, the Xiao family attaches great importance to the martial arts of their children. The descendants of the Xiao family, regardless of gender, must practice martial arts since childhood, and they have to practice martial arts for two years in the rivers and lakes.

However, the time for men and women to practice martial arts is different. Men practice in the morning in order to absorb the essence of the rising sun and increase their masculinity.And women practice martial arts on moonlit nights, absorbing the essence of moonlight to strengthen their feminine power.

In order to make it easier for both parties to learn from each other, Taoyuan, where people can relax, is directly opposite the martial arts training ground.

It can be said that everyone in the Xiao family knows martial arts, and even the servant girl has a few punches and embroidered legs, which is enough to bluff people.

However, for unknown reasons, Xiao Muli didn't know any martial arts at all. Although his brain was congenitally disabled, his body was still healthy, so it shouldn't hinder his martial arts practice.

This is really weird in the Xiao family where everyone practices martial arts.

Moreover, the water control technique she used that day in a hurry was also very strange.

It seems that this body must have a lot to say, and it is likely to hide a big secret.

From time to time, women's cheers and arguments can be heard from all around.

Undoubtedly whose martial arts is better, whose posture is more chic, how this move is more powerful, etc...

Xiao Muli stretched out his hand to poke his ear with a dull expression, and sighed lowly, there really is no quiet place.

He simply stopped thinking and swept around.

Seeing all the men performing hard in front of the women, and the young ladies of the Xiao family who were arguing over who was more chic, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

Whether it's the picturesque scenery around, the beauties in the peach grove, Shenghua, the enthusiasm of training on the side or side, and the superb martial arts, all of these have nothing to do with her.

Looking around for a week, the conclusion is still: I am so out of tune with this prosperous and prosperous Xiao family!It is true that there is nothing worthy of nostalgia, and the only person who made her feel warm also left the Xiao family a month ago, set foot in the rivers and lakes, and started the experience that must be experienced before the coming-of-age ceremony.

And in the future, whether to stay in the arena or return to the family and join the temple depends on one's ability.

So, leaving now is the best time.

Don't hesitate any longer, Xiao Muli!

You have no martial arts, nor are you very intelligent, nor are you proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and you were born to sacrifice and discard.

Besides, the Xiao family, which has always been neutral, will inevitably fall into disputes in the near future, and by then, it will be difficult to get out!
This is your only chance, don't miss it!

Xiao Muli gritted his teeth, put away the wooden hairpin that was about to take shape, and carefully put away the dagger, picked up the belt next to him, held it in his hand carelessly, got up and was about to leave!

Seeing a woman's figure flashing past in the peach forest, Xiao Muli sighed inwardly, it seems that the troublemaker has come again!
