Chapter 189: Overjoyed

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the end, Madam Jiang entered the room with the Princess of Xiongnu.

At first, everyone did not agree, but on second thought, Madam Jiang was a city dweller, had seen the world, and had studied before. She knew more principles than them. She would definitely be able to persuade that unruly princess with emotions and logic.

Everyone went outside to wait. Only Little Bruiser shamelessly leaned against the door and listened to the woman’s private conversation.

Dong! Dong! Dong!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Little Bruiser was dumbfounded. Isn’t my mother making too much noise?

Fifteen minutes later, the door opened.

The Princess of Xiongnu came out with panda eyes and cornbread hair. Her face was swollen and ashen. She opened her mouth and spat out a mouthful of dregs before she could speak.

Little Bruiser jumped up. “My God! Ghost!”

Little Bruiser waved his claws and ran away in fear!

The Yu family members took a closer look and gasped. Oh my god, what happened? Was this tattered little beggar that glamorous princess from before?

“Princess… Princess…” Uncle called her tentatively.

The princess walked past him in a daze.

Uncle : “…”

Aunt was speechless.

Everyone : “…”

Fortunately, Madam Jiang was intact, not even a strand of hair was broken.

Madam Jiang said sadly, “I advised her not to take things too hard.”

Not to think about snatching her man.

“She just won’t listen.”

The Yu family was enlightened and automatically imagined a touching scene of the princess repenting. Madam Jiang moved her emotions and reasoned with her. Finally, the princess, who was confused, came to her senses. After realizing her mistake, the princess was extremely ashamed and bumped into the wall on the spot. Madam Jiang advised her not to take things too hard, but she refused to listen.

Sigh!

“Speaking of which, which prince’s mansion is she from?” Uncle asked in confusion. He had worked in the Capital for a few years and had gained some knowledge, but he had never heard that the princess of that family was so arrogant and despotic.

“The princess of Xiongnu,” Yu Wan said to her uncle. After saying that, she realized that her mother had just said, “We Central Plains people only talk about logic.” At that time, she didn’t think too much about it. Now that she thought about it, her mother had clearly drawn a clear border with the princess of the Xiongnu before she spoke like this, right? She wondered how her mother could tell.

Dinner was eaten at their own house. Yu Shaoqing cooked a dish of vegetables with shiitake mushrooms, a bowl of braised potatoes, a plate of cold bamboo, and a pot of mixed fungus soup. Little Bruiser clamored for eggs, and Yu Shaoqing fried green pepper scrambled eggs.

“Why are they all vegetarian?” Yu Wan looked at the table of food and asked in confusion.

Yu Shaoqing coughed lightly. “Your mother has eaten too much meat recently and is a little heaty.”

Yu Wan: Am I thinking too much? Why do I feel that this “meat” is different from the meat she understands…

“Slurp~” Little Bruiser held the bowl and took a sip of the hot fungus soup.

During the years at the border, Yu Shaoqing had been living on the edges. He never dreamed that he would come back alive. Looking at his gentle wife and then at his obedient daughter and son, Yu Shaoqing felt very happy.

Little Bruiser was also happy. He was still young and couldn’t say who was good, but ever since his father returned home, those children who were older than him didn’t dare to bully him.

Yu Wan had also never thought that she would be able to live a happy life with her parents when she transmigrated to this world. She enjoyed it and cherished the time in front of her.

Suddenly, she thought of Yan Jiuchao and the three little lads. For some reason, she felt lonely for them.

At night, the family fell asleep, but Yu Wan lay on the bed and could not fall asleep. The images of the little fellows and Yan Jiuchao could not leave her mind. It seemed that after so long, other than food, she had never seriously sent anything to them.

After all, she owed Yan Jiuchao a lot. It was only right for her to return the favor.

Yu Wan lifted the blanket and got off the bed. She decided to make a few pairs of shoes for Yan Jiuchao and the little munchkins. She wanted to make clothes, but it was too complicated and her needlework could not keep up.

Yu Wan immediately found a pen and paper. She estimated the size and drew two sets of shoes. Once set for Yan Jiuchao, and one set for the little munchkins. After she drew the design of the shoes, she took out the cotton cloth at the bottom of the box and compared it to the designs.

Later, she would fold these cotton cloths together. Then, she would fold it layer by layer and sew it tightly. This was also commonly known as the soles of shoes. If she wanted the soles of the shoes to be strong enough, she would have to work on the layers of cloth. Usually, they would brush a layer of paste on them. When the paste dried, the cloths would become hard.

The cloths could be dried, but she was in a hurry, so she lit a brazier to dry it. She had never made shoes in her previous life, and she had learned these from her aunt. She did not know if she had learned them correctly.

Little Bruiser was sleeping soundly on the bed. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, Yu Wan lit the wick.

Other people only put in three to five layers of soles. Yu Wan put in more than ten layers in one go. They were extremely thick. Even so, she still felt that it was not enough and secretly added another layer.

It was said that the soles of shoes were a laborious job, but Yu Wan had the strength. In less than midnight, four pairs of soles were ready.

One big sole and three small soles were placed neatly on the chair. Yu Wan looked at them and was actually a little satisfied. She really did not know what she was satisfied with.

After that, it was time to make the surface of the shoes. Yu Wan picked out a piece of black diagonal pattern cotton cloth for Yan Jiuchao. The texture was somewhat similar to the Kaji cloth from her previous life. This kind of cloth was more resistant to dirt and wear, and it was not easy to break. The children’s cloth was made of broken cloth. The pattern put together like this was better than the single color.

Yu Wan was making shoes when midnight unknowingly passed. She rubbed her sore eyes and suddenly heard a commotion at the village entrance.

The commotion was not big. Her house was the furthest from the village entrance, so logically speaking, she could not hear it. However, her ears and eyes had become much clearer recently.

The sound gradually approached her house. She slowly pulled out the dagger under her pillow and covered the half-made shoe on the chair with a cotton cloth. She extinguished the oil lamp on the table.

The window was pried open and a green figure flashed in. In the blink of an eye, Yu Wan waved her dagger and stabbed at the other party!

The moment the other party opened the window, he smelled the smell of the oil lamp and knew that the other party had just put out the oil lamp. It seemed that they knew that he was here. Although he did not know how the other party sensed him, he reacted immediately. However, even he did not expect that with his skills, he would really be successfully ambushed by the other party!

A strand of black hair was cut off, and an extremely small wound was left on his neck.

This injury was nothing to martial artists, but it was left on the number one swordsman in the world by a village girl, it could not be ignored.

“It’s me!” Yu Zigui lowered his voice. It was not difficult to hear the hidden embarrassment and anger.

Yu Wan guessed that it was him. Other than this “cheap” guest, who else could it be?

“Are you here to see if I’m dead or not?” Yu Wan asked indifferently.

There was no lamp in the room, but cold moonlight shone through the window. Yu Zigui’s gaze landed on her cold face, and his voice choked as he said, “After you fell off the cliff, I immediately went to the bottom of the cliff to look for you. I haven’t found you yet, but my senior brother appeared. He was also here to look for the brocade pouch. I was afraid that he would suspect you, so I lured him away.”

These words were touching, but Yu Wan was not moved at all. “You don’t have to explain so much to me. I don’t care if you’ve looked for me or done anything for me. After all, it’s all because of you.”

Yu Zigui could not refute.

Yu Wan has been very busy these days. If Yu Zi hadn’t returned, she would have forgotten what Bai Tang had “returned” to her last time. She even forgot to show it to Yan Jiuchao.

“You’re here for that iron ball again?” Yu Wan asked indifferently.

“Iron ball?” Yu Zigui’s pupils constricted. “It’s really in your hands!”

It was just a broken ball. There was no point in keeping it. Yu Wan casually took it out of the storage box and threw it to him.

The corners of Yu Zigui’s mouth twitched when he saw the treasure that he regarded as his life was actually placed in a storage box!

“Why didn’t you admit it originally?” Yu Zigui questioned.

“What does it have to do with you?” Yu Wan couldn’t be bothered to explain to him that she had left her things at the White Jade Restaurant. Anyway, this fellow was stubborn, so he wouldn’t believe anything she said.

Yu Zigui put on a pair of silver gloves and took out the iron ball from the brocade pouch.

Yu Wan snorted. Was this ball poisonous? He even wore gloves! Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Yu Wan heard a click and the iron ball actually opened.

Could this thing be opened? She and Bai Tang had studied it for so long, but they did not find any cracks.

Yu Zigui’s expression darkened. “Where’s the thing inside?”

Yu Wan said strangely, “What is it? I didn’t touch it!”

“Then why is it empty?” Yu Zigui asked.

Yu Wan asked, “How would I know? You won’t suspect that I took something inside, right? I haven’t even opened it!”

Yu Zigui frowned and said, “It’s not good for you to take that thing. I advise you to hand it over quickly. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you once my senior brother finds out.”

Yu Wan was so angry that she lost her temper. “Who wants your protection?! I said I didn’t take it, believe it or not!”

This person was really crazy. At first, he suspected that she had hidden his brocade pouch, and now he suspected that she had stolen the things in the brocade pouch. If she had really stolen something, would she not feel guilty at all and return the brocade pouch’s iron ball to him?

Yu Zigui said coldly, “Do you think I’ll believe you again? You lied to me once, and you want to lie to me again?”

“At first, I really didn’t know that you had placed the brocade pouch on me. I was…” Yu Wan resisted the urge to pull Bai Tang in.” A few days ago, when I was tidying up the house, I found this brocade pouch in the corner… Whether you believe it or not, I really didn’t touch the things inside. ”

“You really didn’t touch it?” Yu Zigui looked at her skeptically.

Yu Wan met his gaze without dodging. “I didn’t touch it.” She really did not touch it. Bai Tang was also present. However, it was not good to let Yu Zigui know about this.

“Can I ask what it is?” Yu Wan asked.

Yu Zigui said, “It’s better if you don’t know.”

Yu Wan: “!!!” Then what if you found something else one day? How would you know if it was what you wanted?

Yu Zigui walked to the window.

Yu Wan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that he was planning to leave. It was almost dawn. If he continued to pester her, she might not be able to finish making the shoes.

However, her sigh of relief was completely different in Yu Zigui’s eyes.

Yu Zigui narrowed his eyes and stopped in his tracks at the window. “It’s only been a few days since we last met, but your martial arts seem to have improved a lot.”

That was called close combat, thank you.

Yu Zigui suddenly turned around and walked towards Yu Wan.

“What are you going to do?” Yu Wan’s eyes flashed with vigilance.

Yu Zigui looked at her without blinking. “Do you sleep well every night?”

Yu Wan was puzzled. “What does it have to do with you?”

Yu Zigui did not answer her. Instead, he reached out to grab Yu Wan’s wrist.

Yu Wan might have a chance of winning if she ambushed him, but it would not be so easy to succeed in a real fight.

Before Yu Wan’s dagger could stab out, it was sent flying by his internal energy. Just as he was about to succeed, the door broke open and a sword light flashed over!

Yu Zigui drew his sword to block, but was forced back a few steps by the huge force. He looked at the man who appeared in time and then at the room behind the man. He thought of something and his eyes narrowed. He jumped out of the window and used his qinggong to leave.

“Dad!” Yu Wan walked towards Yu Shaoqing.

Yu Shaoqing held his daughter’s arm and sized her up. “Are you alright?”

Yu Wan shook her head. “I’m fine.”

Yu Shaoqing was relieved. Seeing that her expression was clear and her clothes were tidy, she didn’t look like she had woken up at the last minute. He asked, “Have you not been sleeping?”

“…I ate too much dinner and can’t sleep,” Yu Wan said without changing her expression.

Yu Shaoqing nodded and said, “Who is he?”

Yu Wan told her father about her meeting with Yu Zigui in a concise manner, without implicating Yan Jiuchao in it. She only said that she met a swordsman on the way to save the little munchkins. He placed the brocade pouch in her basket and pestered her to ask for the brocade pouch.

“… When Miss Bai sent the brocade pouch over, I found out that it was left in the White Jade Restaurant. But when I returned the brocade pouch to him just now, he accused me of taking the things inside.” Yu Wan felt that this man was simply ridiculous.

Yu Shaoqing looked in the direction where Yu Zigui had left, and his eyes turned cold. Then, he looked at his daughter and said, “If he dares to come again, Dad will definitely capture him!”

“Okay!”

Yu Wan smiled and nodded. It felt good to have a family protecting her.

Yu Shaoqing stroked his daughter’s temples dotingly. “Dad is guarding outside. Go to sleep.”

Yu Wan obediently lay down.

Yu Shaoqing left the room, but the moment he closed the door for his daughter, he saw a basket by the bed. There was a cloth covering the basket, but it wasn’t very tight, revealing a grown man’s cloth shoe. It was obvious that it was new and unfinished.

He was the only man in the house! So his daughter was making shoes for him instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?

Yu Shaoqing was overjoyed.
