A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

"Whose child is this?!" Chu Die stared intently at Bu Lei, trying to read something from his face.

Her expression was very serious, so serious that Bray couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

This news seems to be very shocking to this lady.

"Mine." So Bray chose to tell Chu Die an even more explosive piece of news.

Chu Die, who had been very serious, immediately relaxed and unconsciously put her hand to her lips.

"What? So it was you and Naruko." Chudie patted her chest; the fright she had just experienced had made her pale, as she wasn't feeling well.

"Isn't it great?"

But after learning that the child was the result of Bree and Naruko's relationship, her face gradually regained its color.

“…” Bray felt that something was wrong with this sentence, but he couldn’t quite put his finger on it.

Bray had imagined countless scenarios, but he had never expected such a calm reaction.

Naruko's mother was so calm when she heard that her daughter was pregnant; it was truly remarkable.

"Bree, wait a moment." Chu Die didn't sit down immediately, but turned around gracefully.

Yunhai doesn't know Bulei yet, this won't do, he's the father of the baby in Mingzi's belly.

Chu Die felt that she had to let Yun Hai get to know Bu Lei properly today.

"Yunhai~ Yunhai~!" Chu Die called out her husband's name with a joyful tone, then ran over.

"Madam, you are not feeling well, please do not run around!" The female guard hurriedly followed Chu Die, ignoring Bree who was sitting there.

"It's alright, none of this matters." Chu Die waved her hand casually, showing no intention of slowing down.

"Eh...actually, there are also photos..." Watching Chu Die's departing figure, Bray's hand holding the photos didn't know what to do.

---

"Yunhai~ We have some good news in our family~"

Even from a distance in the living room, Yunhai could hear his wife calling out.

My wife seemed especially happy today; I haven't heard her sound so cheerful all month.

"Hatsucho seems to be in a good mood today."

There were no guests around, so Yunhai leaned on his cane, wanting to see what was going on with Chudie, why she was so happy like a little boy.

"Does anyone know what good thing has happened to Madam?" Yunhai asked the servant beside him.

“We don’t know.” Yunhai’s voice carried an imposing air, so the servants didn’t even dare to look up and answer.

Yunhai has aged a few years, and his black hair is now streaked with white, but along with his increased age, he has also gained a touch of majesty.

His position as prime minister is still secure; he will probably remain in it until he is no longer able to attend court.

It can be said that Yunhai plays a pivotal role in the Yundu Kingdom.

However, even so, he did not live a luxurious life.

While the Prime Minister's residence cannot be described as shabby, it certainly cannot be called luxurious either.

Many officials live in places even more luxurious than the Prime Minister's residence.

On the one hand, he was honest and upright; on the other hand, he felt it was unnecessary.

As long as life isn't hard and is comfortable enough, that's fine.

His view was that excessive poverty leads to lowliness, and excessive extravagance leads to corruption.

"Forget it, I'll go myself." Yunhai stroked his growing beard and started walking slowly.

"Your Excellency, let me help you up."

"No need, I'm not at the point where I can't walk anymore." Yunhai waved his hand and continued walking.

He, Yunhai, is not so old that he needs help to get up; he's only in his fifties.

Anyway, his place isn't far from the backyard where Chudie usually brews tea; he can get there by walking a little bit.

He hadn't walked far when he heard the sound of his wife walking.

"Yunhai~ Listen to me~" Chu Die didn't care about her status as the Prime Minister's wife at all, and threw herself into Yunhai's arms.

"Cough cough..." Yunhai was speechless for a moment. Chu Die was really acting very childish today.

But she's his wife, how could he possibly dislike her?

"What good thing happened?" Yunhai chuckled. His wife was happy, and he was in a great mood too.

Besides, no random people are visiting me today, so I can enjoy some peace and quiet.

Of course, the leisurely period won't last long; he estimates he'll be back at work soon.

Even so, a short rest is still pleasant.

"We can hold our grandson!!!" Chu Die jumped up and down excitedly in Yun Hai's arms, so lively that you couldn't tell that this lady was nearly fifty years old.

"..." Yunhai disappeared for a moment, then the smile on his face gradually faded.

Which bastard ruined their girl?!

No, the important thing is, who's pregnant!?

Yunhai wouldn't just remember Yunji from his own family; he also kept that unfilial daughter, Yunming, in his heart.

"Whose child?" Yunhai asked in a strange tone. He didn't dare to lose his temper, after all, Chudie was very happy right now, and if he got angry, it would spoil her mood.

"It's Naruko. Naruko is such a good kid. I always thought it would be Hime who found a partner first and then had a baby." To be honest, Hatsune never thought Naruko would have a baby.

In her mind, Naruko was very unreliable and didn't seem like she would find a husband at all. Hatsune was already thankful that she wasn't deceived.

Yunhai's face turned ashen. It turned out that his daughter, who hadn't come home, was pregnant. He felt a little short of breath.

"Wait a minute, how did you find out about this? Isn't that unfilial daughter always running around the world?" Yunhai was quick-witted and immediately noticed something was wrong.

He knew that his wife and Naruko had not been exchanging letters, so how did his wife find out about this?

“It’s our son-in-law. He told me himself.”

"Stop!" Yunhai was shocked. Where did he get a son-in-law? In the back hall, only Bulei remained.

Chudie ran off with a "thump thump thump," and the female guard chased after her, but Bray did not move and remained kneeling on the cushion.

It seems that every country in the Eastern Continent has a way of kneeling, but some countries use kneeling less often, while others use it more often.

Well, of course, it also depends on personal preference.

Anyway, Chudie seems to really like kneeling. It has to be said that this is not only a sitting posture that expresses a dignified, solemn, tranquil, and humble demeanor, but it is also somewhat good for the body.

While lost in thought, Bray calmly sipped his tea.

Before leaving, Chu Die brewed a pot of tea, enough for him to drink for a long time.

Although it was a bit cold, Bray wasn't picky enough to complain about the tea's temperature.

"It's been a long time," Bray said, squinting his right eye and taking a sip of tea.

I don’t know if it’s because the news I brought was too shocking that Chudie has been slow to return.

That's true, Naruko's pregnancy was already a huge news story.

"Are you the one named Bray?" But not long after, a majestic voice rang out from directly in front of Bray.

Bray raised his right eyelid and sized up the old prime minister in front of him.

Unfortunately, although he had a slight impression of Naruko's father, he didn't remember him at all.

So it took him about ten seconds to determine that the person in front of him was Naruko's father.

The strongest evidence is that Chu Die is holding Yun Hai's arm.

“Yunhai, this child is Naruko’s husband,” Chudie said.

She found Bray pleasing to the eye years ago, and now she finds him more and more pleasing to the eye.

Mature and steady, neither humble nor arrogant, he seems very reliable, and his fierce appearance is definitely capable of protecting Naruko.

Brilliant! She'll take this son-in-law!

"..." Yunhai remained expressionless.

Bray remained kneeling and bowed slightly to the sea of ​​clouds.

This is, for the sake of his impression, a more respectful Eastern etiquette towards elders.

Yunhai's face twitched as he watched Bree's completely unorthodox movements.

Is this the guy who stole his unfilial daughter?

Damn it, is Naruko blind?!

Yunhai was furious and sat down abruptly, slamming his hand on the table.

"Bang!!!!"

With a loud bang, Bray, who had been expressionless, bounced up along with the cup, which had remained in its original position.

“…” Bray held his cup, thinking to himself that this prime minister really had a bad temper.

"Yunhai, don't sit down like that, it's bad for your legs," Chu Die scolded playfully.

Yunhai is now only one leg and needs a cane to walk. Sitting down so hastily is very bad for his health.

"Do we still have time to worry about that now?" Yunhai said in a deep voice.

"That stupid, unfilial daughter got robbed by this guy who popped out of nowhere."

“Brey isn’t some random kid; I’ve known him for years,” Chu Die said, pursing her lips.

"???" Yunhai's eyes widened, unable to believe what he was hearing.

"You're saying you've known this guy for years?" He pointed at Bray.

"Yes, speaking of which, Naruko was probably taken away by this child."

"He saved our daughter's life, so we should be polite to him."

"..." The prime minister hesitated, unable to speak for a moment despite his eloquence.

"When did your affair with my unfilial daughter begin?" Yunhai couldn't be too direct, so he asked in a more subtle way.

"Are you talking about the child?" Bray was an honest man and hadn't considered Yunhai's thoughts at all.

"You know what... I can throw you in jail right away." A vein bulged on Yunhai's forehead. For someone in his fifties to be so angry was quite impressive.

It's worth noting that Yunhai is usually very good at controlling his emotions.

“Emmmmmm” Bray thought to himself that Yunhai hadn’t lied; the Prime Minister could still find a way to imprison an adventurer if he wanted to.

"The baby isn't even born yet."

"..."

"If you want to ask when Naruko got pregnant, it was probably a few months ago."

"A few months?"

"forget."

"..." Yunhai clenched his fists, suppressing a strong impulse in his heart.

However, what Yunhai didn't know was that he was absolutely no match for Bree, and even if he asked someone to help him, they still couldn't beat him.

Moreover, Bray won't let Naruko's father stop him from fighting back.

It can only be said that his restraint in suppressing his impulse was a rational decision.

"Alright, alright, calm down. So what if your daughter was snatched away? Look at you, so spineless."

"..."

"Don't be offended, Bray. It's common for fathers to be curious when their daughters get married."

"..." This time, it was Bray's turn to fall silent along with Yunhai.

Bray frowned, realizing that this statement was not so simple.

His child is also a girl, and his own daughter will eventually get married. Could it be that he will end up like this prime minister?
