Transmigrated into a fat wife, farming, raising children, and picking up husbands

Xiao He wiped away her tears: "That's great! The master is finally back. She doesn't have to worry about the lady being taken away."

Only Liu Ruyan sat there, her mind a jumbled mess.

What exactly happened?

Her brother is back, and Ping An is back too. Why are they all here together? What are they up to?

She was filled with doubts, but dared not ask a single question.

Pei Zhao finally broke free from the men's arms, walked to Lin Xiuer, and opened his arms to her.

Lin Xiuer's nose tingled, and she could no longer control her emotions, so she threw herself into his arms.

She lay on his chest, her tears soaking his clothes, sobbing uncontrollably.

Pei Zhao gently patted her back, one pat at a time, tenderly and patiently.

The person in my arms has lost a lot of weight.

Her waist was slender, the fat on her cheeks had disappeared, and her eyebrows and eyes appeared more delicate and beautiful.

Her skin was so white it glowed, like the finest jade porcelain.

This face also confirmed his initial suspicion that Lin Xiuer was definitely not born to Wang Shi.

Those imprisoned in the imperial prison will likely be executed by imperial decree soon.

He looked up and gazed at the table inside.

The masked young man looked over with a cold expression.

The old man looked at them, his face showing relief, emotion, and a hint of displeasure: "You brat, aren't you going to let go? Are you never going to stop?"

Pei Zhao sighed inwardly; what was bound to happen would happen eventually.

He released Lin Xiuer and wiped away the tears on her face.

"Wait for me," he whispered.

Then he turned around, walked to the inner table, stopped in front of the old man, and bowed respectfully.

"master."

Lin Xiuer was stunned.

Lao Hu, Chen Mingxuan, and Wu Liangcai were also stunned.

master?

What... does he know that person?

The old man stroked his beard, grunted, stood up, and slowly walked to Lin Xiuer.

He stood there, staring intently at Lin Xiuer for a long while.

This girl looks like her.

It's like myself too.

When he looked at that face, if he didn't know that he was already very old, he would have thought that time had gone back to more than 20 years ago.

Just by looking at that face, I can be sure this is my daughter.

As the old man sized up Lin Xiuer, Lin Xiuer was also sizing him up.

Who is this person? Pei Zhao is so respectful to him, could he be his superior, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?

But wait, this old man looks quite refined; he doesn't seem like someone who knows martial arts.

Judging from his demeanor, he seems to be an official, perhaps some kind of Grand Secretary or something.

How could such an important official of the imperial court come to such a remote place as Peach Blossom Town?

He kept staring at me, could it be that his daughter also had a crush on Pei Zhao? Was he here to help his daughter snatch him away?

The more Lin Xiuer thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible.

He clicked his tongue twice in his mind, knowing that this kid's trip back would definitely not be good; sure enough, he had attracted his enemy.

The noble ladies in the capital were all beautiful and came from good families.

Pei Zhao, a young, promising, and powerful unmarried woman, is the subject of countless eyes in the capital. It's normal for her to have a few powerful rivals in love.

The old man went to such great lengths to come all this way, he must have come to force her to back down.

Lin Xiuer's mind raced.

I wonder what method he will use to deal with me? Will he kill me to silence me? Or will he try to bribe me with money?

If I were to give silver, how much would be appropriate?

One thousand taels?

No, no, if it's too little, people will laugh at her for being unsophisticated.

She glanced at the old man's clothes.

The material itself looks expensive, and that jade pendant is even more valuable. A thousand taels is probably just a drop in the ocean for them.

Then, let's make an outrageous demand and ask for ten thousand taels!

Lin Xiuer was mentally calculating her next move.

She truly loves this man; she won't accept too little, only a large sum of money can make her bow her head.

Lin Xiuer was letting her imagination run wild, guessing at all sorts of possibilities.

The old man stared at Lin Xiuer for a long time before shifting his gaze to the baby in Lin Xiuer's arms.

Xiao Bao was held in Lin Xiuer's arms, blinking his big eyes and looking curiously at the strange old man.

Xiao Bao looks more like Lin Xiuer than his father.

The old man looked at him, recalling how the little fellow had stood in front of the teacher in the classroom earlier, swaying his head and reciting his lessons, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Your name is Xiaobao?"

Xiao Bao nodded obediently.

The old man smiled, a smile carrying a hint of coaxing: "Would you like to come with me?"

"My house is big, with lots of delicious food and fun things, and the most knowledgeable teachers will teach you to read. How about that?"

What the hell?!

Lin Xiuer was stunned for a moment.

Kidnapping her son?!

She was wondering what she should do if the old man tried to use his power to pressure her.

To her utter surprise, the old man immediately tried to abduct her son!

He still did it in front of her.

Lin Xiuer was so angry she almost laughed.

She shoved Xiao Bao into Lao Hu's arms, put her hands on her hips, and immediately thrust into him.

"Let me tell you, no matter who you are, you can have whatever you want in Peach Blossom Town, except for kidnapping my son!"

Old Hu, holding Xiao Bao, stared blankly at the scene. Wu Liangcai and Chen Mingxuan gaped, Xiao He clutched her chest, and Liu Ruyan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Lin Xiuer grew angrier the more she thought about it; Xiao Bao was her lifeblood.

It's one thing for her to try and steal her man, but for a complete stranger to actually demand her son—who wouldn't be angry?

This old man did this to her face, wasn't he slapping her in the face?

She pointed at the old man's nose and said, "Who are you anyway? I didn't want to speak ill of you because you're old."

"I never imagined they were child traffickers, trying to kidnap my son right in front of me!"

"Have you no shame? At your age, you're doing such a despicable thing."

The masked young man, who had been indifferent, now stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiuer, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The old man was left red-faced and embarrassed by her barrage of questions; his expression was priceless.

He pounded his chest in anger, stammering "I...I...I..." for a long time, but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Lin Xiuer didn't care about any of that. She stood there with her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to fight you to the death if you dared to touch her son.

Xiao Bao is her bottom line, and she will not back down an inch.

The old man hesitated for a long time, his face turning red, before finally managing to utter a sentence:

"who I am?"

"I'm your father!"

Haha, Lin Xiuer was so angry she actually laughed this time.

She stood with her hands on her hips, looking at the red-faced old man before her, her tone full of sarcasm: "Old sir, would you like to hear what you have to say?"

"My father died eight hundred years ago. How about I burn some paper money for him and have him come up here to confront you?"

Upon hearing this, the old man clutched his chest, his face turning pale with anger.

He had never been insulted like this before, especially by the princes and princesses in the palace. They all said the nicest things to him.

He looked around, his gaze landing on the broom in the corner, and instinctively reached for it.

"You...you rebellious daughter! I'll teach you a lesson today."
