My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"I'm not angry!"

Xu Yuehua looked at Jiang Xiaobai, her expression visibly softening: "But... do I really think he's that young?"

"certainly!"

Jiang Xiaobai said earnestly, "When you and Wei'er stand together, they look just like sisters!"

"Luckily, Brother Li reminded us in time; otherwise, there might have been a real misunderstanding!"

"Heh, you sure know how to give compliments!"

Xu Yuehua laughed out loud at that moment.

"By the way, Auntie, how do you usually take care of yourself?"

Jiang Xiaobai continued, "You must teach Wei'er in the future!"

"this……"

Xu Yuehua gently shook her head and said, "I haven't really taken care of myself much on a regular basis!"

"What?!"

Jiang Xiaobai asked in surprise, "You can maintain such a good figure without any special care?"

"It seems... Auntie, you are naturally beautiful!"

"Oh, my future father-in-law, you truly owe your good fortune to be able to marry a wife like you!"

"You little rascal..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehua's smile deepened: "You're quite the smooth talker!"

"Auntie, I'm not just being glib!"

Jiang Xiaobai said earnestly, "Even if others want me to say it, I still don't want to!"

"It's only because I saw you, Auntie, that I couldn't help but blurt out these honest words!!"

"Alright, alright!"

Xu Yuehua smiled and shook her head, then looked at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "I heard from my master that you and Wei'er are already engaged?"

"Auntie, that's definitely true!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "Wei'er and I are in love, and with the help of our families and His Majesty's permission, this marriage has been settled!"

"Well, logically speaking, I should have told you about this in person!"

"But I heard from Wei'er that you were in the sect and had difficulty moving around, so I was too embarrassed to bother you. Now I've been so glad to have you back!!"

"hiss!"

Li Zhixing, who was listening nearby, gasped in shock.

This Jiang Xiaobai, he's even learned to talk now!

Right now, he really wants to write it down in a notebook.

"Oh, Wei'er did mention it to me in her letter!"

Xu Yuehua glanced at Li Zhiwei and said, "They say they've found someone they love, and they rave about how wonderful you are, and how talented you are!"

At this point, Xu Yuehua looked at Jiang Xiaobai again and said, "I told you, I'll come back and visit when I have time!"

"Who knew... it would be you, kid!"

Indeed, she was quite angry when she found out it was Jiang Xiaobai.

She had long heard of Jiang Xiaobai's reputation.

He bullied others, acted arrogantly and domineeringly, and caused trouble in the capital all day long.

How could someone like that be worthy of her daughter?

But now that she has seen it with her own eyes, her anger has dissipated considerably.

At least……

The kid in front of me doesn't seem as bad as the rumors say.

She found it pleasing to the eye.

When Li Zhiwei heard her mother recite the words from the letter, her face turned even redder.

With his head down, even Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to look at him for a moment.

Too many people from my Jiang family have left!

Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said, "Some things I did were intentional, just to save my life!"

"Oh, you've really suffered, child!"

Xu Yuehua's expression changed.

Yes, she understood what Jiang Xiaobai meant by saying that.

"Hehe, let's not talk about that!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "By the way, Auntie..."

As they spoke, Jiang Xiaobai took out three exquisite little bottles from his pocket and handed them to Xu Yuehua, saying, "These are little gifts I prepared especially for you!"

"Oh? For me?"

Xu Yuehua took the bottle, her expression slightly surprised, and said, "What, you knew I would come back?"

"I really didn't know that!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "I was planning to give it to Wei'er first, and then find an opportunity to send it to you!"

"What is this?"

Xu Yuehua looked at the bottle in her hand, somewhat puzzled.

"This is called perfume!"

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Just take a little bit and apply it to your wrist or clothes. It's better than perfume balm, and the fragrance lasts longer!"

"Yeah?"

Xu Yuehua opened one of the bottles and gently smelled it.

As the delicate floral fragrance filled the air, Xu Yuehua's eyes lit up noticeably. She then opened the other two bottles and smelled them, her smile growing even wider.

"Mmm, it really smells delicious!"

Xu Yuehua nodded in satisfaction and said, "Moreover, the scent is much lighter than ordinary perfume balms; it's not greasy at all. You've really put a lot of thought into it!"

"Auntie, what are you saying!"

Jiang Xiaobai waved his hand and said, "This is what we juniors should do!"

"Moreover, I created this perfume myself. Even if you have money, you might not be able to buy it outside these days."

"If you like it, Auntie, I'll have someone send you three bottles every time a new fragrance comes in!"

"So many?"

Xu Yuehua asked in surprise.

"right!"

Jiang Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "You can use one bottle yourself, keep one if you like, and give the other one away!"

"That way, if others ask, you can tell them that this is your son-in-law, specially prepared for you!"

"You've really thought of everything!"

Xu Yuehua couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Zhixing stood to one side, completely dumbfounded.

At first, he was worried that Jiang Xiaobai would be kicked out of the Prime Minister's residence.

As a result, his aunt's smile never stopped after such a short time.

After putting the three bottles away, Xu Yuehua looked at Jiang Xiaobai, then at her daughter, and couldn't help but speak.

"Xiao Bai, our Wei'er has always been gentle. If she marries you, you mustn't bully her!"

"Don't worry, Auntie!"

Jiang Xiaobai said earnestly, "Wei'er is such a wonderful woman, I cherish her so much, how could I bear to bully her!"

"If we ever have a disagreement in the future, it will definitely be my fault!"

"What if my daughter is wrong?"

Xu Yuehua asked with a smile.

"That's my fault too!"

Jiang Xiaobai replied without hesitation, "It must be something I did wrong that caused Wei'er to make a mistake. I need to reflect on that!"

"Oh, you!"

Xu Yuehua's smile deepened, and her expression became more satisfied: "No wonder Wei'er praised you in her letter, saying you were one of a kind, almost unparalleled in heaven!"

"Mother, I didn't say any of that!"

Li Zhiwei, standing next to her, blushed even more.

"I haven't said anything yet. I still have that letter. Do you want to take it out and have a look?"

Xu Yuehua spoke up.

"No, no!"

Li Zhiwei quickly shook her head.

Seeing Li Zhiwei's adorable appearance, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Auntie, it's not Wei'er's fault!"

"Mainly because Wei'er and I are alike... we like to speak the truth!"

"You're so shameless!"

Li Zhiwei listened, then gave Jiang Xiaobai a shy glare.

Tang Ningshuang, standing behind, also turned her head to look elsewhere.

This guy has a really thick skin.

"You scumbag!"

The eldest princess rolled her eyes, her red lips under her bamboo hat curling into a disdainful sneer.

Xu Yuehua, on the other hand, was smiling even more happily.

Putting everything else aside, this kid's personality is quite endearing.

And he seems to genuinely care about her daughter.

"Alright!"

Xu Yuehua waved her hand and looked at Jiang Xiaobai, saying, "Don't call me 'Auntie' anymore, it sounds too formal!"

"We'll be family sooner or later, so call me Mother-in-law from now on!"

"mother in law!"

Jiang Xiaobai agreed very quickly and bowed down with his hands clasped.

"Um!"

Xu Yuehua nodded with a smile on her face.

Li Zhixing stood to the side, looking at Jiang Xiaobai with a shocked expression.

No... that's it?

Li Zhiwei was also surprised that her mother had been wearing a cold expression just a moment ago.

It's only been a short time, and Jiang Xiaobai has already changed his tune.

After the initial surprise, Li Zhiwei's face lit up with joy, and her gaze towards Jiang Xiaobai was filled with tenderness...
