Lin Xiaoyue saw a grand mansion in front of her, with the words “Liu Mansion” written on the plaque.
She recognized the handwriting. It was Li Xiao’s.
Just as she was feeling moved, three people came out.
The one in front was a middle-aged man dressed like a housekeeper, and the other two were dressed like servants.
“Greetings, Miss and Master!” The middle-aged man stepped forward and bowed to Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.
Seeing him nod, she then looked at the middle-aged man.
“Head Fang, no need to be so polite. Let’s go inside and talk,” she said.
Indeed, it was Head Fang.
In reality, he was the head of the Nangong Army and had been overseeing the Nangong family’s properties.
After making contact with Li Xiao, Head Fang came to Qingshi Town. Since then, he had been staying in this mansion, following Li Xiao’s arrangements.
“Thank you, Miss! Miss, Young Master, please!” Head Fang made a gesture of invitation.
The two of them then entered the Liu Mansion.
Upon entering, Head Fang signaled two servants to keep watch at the door and followed Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue to the study.
Inside the mansion, Lin Xiaoyue observed her surroundings.
She noticed that the mansion was quite large and filled with many people.
Indeed, there were many people.
And they all looked imposing and formidable.
Head Fang followed behind them and carefully observed Lin Xiaoyue’s reaction.
To his surprise, she didn’t show any fear. This made him appreciate the mistress even more.
The Great General Wang was dead, and the young master was now their new master.
Now that the young master was married, his wife became their new mistress.
When they arrived at Qingshi Town, upon learning the mistress’ identity, he thought that she was not worthy of the young master.
But later, after witnessing what happened to the mistress and knowing her intelligence, he thought that the young master had excellent judgment.
They had longed to meet the mistress, and today they finally had the chance to do so.
Upon arriving at the study, there were guards stationed outside.
One of the handsome men there, upon seeing Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue, smiled with delight.
“1 greet the Master and the Mistress!” He and the two people behind him knelt before the couple.
Lin Xiaoyue was startled.
She looked at Li Xiao, who nodded at her.
“Please rise,” she said to the man and the others.
“Thank you, Mistress!” The man immediately stood up.
“Mistress, we have been eagerly awaiting your arrival!” The man looked at Lin Xiaoyue with undisguised joy.
Li Xiao frowned.
“Cough!”
He looked at Li Xiao, but he did not look afraid.
“Look at my cousin. He’s already scowling at me the moment we meet,” he then turned to Lin Xiaoyue and said.
Lin Xiaoyue was surprised.
She looked at Li Xiao.
Cousin?
Li Xiao rolled his eyes at the man and nodded at Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, he walked into the study.
“Come in and talk.”
The man smiled and walked to Lin Xiaoyue.
“I am Xiao Yang, Li Xiao’s only cousin!”
“Oh, nice to meet you!” Lin Xiaoyue smiled at him.
She didn’t know that he had a cousin.
“Hehe, you are really pretty! Why did cousin keep you hidden from me all this time?” Xiao Yang tried to flatter Lin Xiaoyue.
When he mentioned the second half of his sentence, he even glared at Li Xiao.
Before, his aunt and cousin were worried that Li Xiao wouldn’t find a wife. Now, he had found such a capable and beautiful wife…
Hey, why did he suddenly feel a bit sour in his heart? What was going on?
“Eh, you flatter me,” Lin Xiaoyue replied with some embarrassment.
The more she looked at Xiao Yang, the more she felt that he resembled some kind of animal.
“Not at all! It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that you’re one in a million. Do you have any sisters?” Xiao Yang’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
He heard that his cousin-in-law was very capable.
Today, upon seeing her, he was genuinely amazed.
If the mistress had any sisters, could he propose marriage?
He was already eighteen, and he had been stationed at the border military camp all this time.
He hadn’t seen a woman in a long time.
Now that he had returned, he couldn’t miss the opportunity to find a match, right?
