Chapter 1283: Chapter 3: The Foolish Son of the Landlord’s Family
"Aunt, the room is already prepared for you. Would you like to wash up, change clothes, and then come to eat?" Liu Madam’s eyes were full of respect.
"That sounds good." Tianmiao stood up.
"Housekeeper, quickly take my aunt. Make sure the maidservants are quick and efficient. Aunt, if you have any needs, feel free to tell the maidservants, don’t be reserved, treat this as your own home." Liu Madam repeatedly insisted.
Tianmiao smiled and nodded, following the housekeeper out.
After Tianmiao left, Liu Yujin held a red envelope and asked his parents, "Dad, Mom, who is this young lady? Your manner is just like..." Like a grandchild meeting their grandfather. Of course, he wisely did not say the latter part.
"Young lady! I told you, she is your great-aunt!" Liu Madam glared at Liu Yujin, "If you continue to disrespect your great-aunt, be careful, I will spank you!"
"Huh? Dad? This great-aunt looks even younger than Mom, how could she be Mom’s aunt?" Liu Yujin dared not provoke his mother, so he turned to his father.
His father glanced at him and responded with a grunt, "Disrespectful brat, your great-aunt is remarkable. She even held your mother when she was a child."
"What?" Liu Yujin’s eyes widened, "Dad, are you talking nonsense? She looks younger than me!"
"Your great-aunt is no ordinary person; she is a master cultivator, and her skills preserve youth, so naturally, she looks younger than you. You better wise up, when you see your great-aunt, greet her properly." Liu Steward scolded.
Master cultivator? Skill to preserve youth?
Are Dad and Mom out of their minds? In this day and age, where do such fantastical things come from? Could they have been deceived by a charlatan? Or drugged and muddle-headed?
"You’re the one who’s muddle-headed, go change your clothes, it’s time to eat!" A father knows his son best; Liu Steward, seeing his son’s expression, knew exactly what he was thinking and started to scold again, "Your father and mother are fine, neither muddle-headed nor drugged. With time, you’ll see that I haven’t lied to you. Now go wash up and change clothes to come eat!"
"Oh..." Liu Yujin replied sheepishly, then headed to his room. Great-aunt? Could she be a swindler? No! That’s impossible! She looks like a Heavenly Immortal. If she really were a swindler, she wouldn’t come to deceive rural landlords like us; she’d directly target royalty and nobility. She has the means! She probably isn’t a swindler. Realizing this, Liu Yujin felt no mental burden, washed his face, changed clothes, and came out for dinner.
At the dinner table, Liu Yujin watched his parents fervently urge his great-aunt to eat, saying this is tasty and that is delicious. Liu Yujin felt this meal was more flavorful than ever before. Seeing his parents happy, Liu Yujin didn’t dwell on the fact that his great-aunt looked younger than him anymore. He also enthusiastically invited his great-aunt to eat.
Afterward, Liu Yujin noticed his mother had changed as if into a different person. Previously, his mother rarely ventured beyond the main doors, always staying at home; now, she’s learning swordsmanship from his great-aunt every day.
Yes, it’s a real sword, not a wooden sword.
"Mom, isn’t sword training a bit dangerous?" Liu Yujin worriedly asked. His mother was the typical delicate lady, previously just embroidering, painting, and playing the zither. Before, she’d caution him to be careful learning martial arts, saying it’s dangerous. Liu Yujin hadn’t anticipated the day he’d return those words to his mother.
