Zhu Xiaoxiao hid in the cabin and covered her head with a thick blanket, trying her best to pretend to be asleep.

She really wished that she could really sleep like this. That way, everyone would forget that she had fainted from the alcohol because she slept like this.

Heavens! Why did this happen? Why was everyone fine except for her? It was so embarrassing! She was one of the three treasures of Shaoxing! Even though his alcohol tolerance wasn't good, he shouldn't have fallen to the ground after smelling the alcohol, right? However, something she couldn't believe happened. She, Zhu Xiaoxiao, was knocked out by the fragrance of the wine!

Therefore, Zhu Xiaoxiao had been hiding in the cabin to sleep since she woke up. She pretended to be seasick, unwell, and drunk. Anyway, she didn't want to go out and see that stinky cloud who only knew how to laugh at her, and that stinky prince Yuqi.

Laugh! Laugh! Laugh! The two of them only knew how to laugh when they found out that he was drunk!

Humph! As the saying went, it was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Although Zhu Xiaoxiao was not a gentleman, she believed that with her ability to prank people, she would definitely not have to wait three years for revenge. Moreover, she had already found a "good thing" in the cabin!

Such good stuff…hehe! When she went ashore later, she would definitely give one to each of those two heartless fellows.

At this moment, Yuyun walked into the cabin and reached out to shake Zhu Xiaoxiao." Xiaoxiao, we're almost at the capital! Get up!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao grabbed the blanket tightly and shouted,""I don't want to go out. If I go out, you guys will laugh at me again!”

Yuyun chuckled." No, silly! No one will laugh at you! Get up quickly. It would be bad if you delayed Fifth Master's matter.”

"Yes, you're smiling, aren't you?" Zhu Xiaoxiao protested.”

Yuyun said to the quilt,"Are you really not going to get up?"

"I won't get up unless you promise me not to mention this matter again.”

Yuyun nodded without thinking," Alright, a man of his word carries nine tripods. If he says he won't mention it, he won't mention it. He won't let anyone else in the capital know, including my Amma and Mother.”

A small corner of the blanket was lifted, revealing Zhu Xiaoxiao's cute face that was red from boredom." Really?”

"Of course it's true!" Yuyun reached out and pinched her soft little face.

"The one lying is a rat?" Zhu Xiaoxiao climbed onto him and pressed her nose against his.

Yuyun was stunned, but she still echoed,"The rat is lying."

Weird! Why was the rat lying? Does this girl like rats? He remembered that on the day of their wedding, she had given him a rat. Until now, he still could not figure out what the rat was used for.

Zhu Xiao Xiao finally let go of her heart that was hanging in the air. After letting Yu Yun tidy up her clothes, she followed him to the bow of the ship.

The boat was gradually approaching the dock. Seeing that she could leave this swaying life on the boat in half a quarter of an hour, Zhu Xiaoxiao was so happy that she almost jumped up.

In fact, she grew up in Shaoxing and was familiar with life on the water. However, it was not as good as on land because she could jump and run around on land, but not on this ship. One moment, she was afraid of smashing the tribute to the emperor, and the next moment, she was afraid of disturbing Yuqi's peace. He wanted to find E Min to practice kung fu, but E Min was respectful and did not fight back. He did not scold her at all. It was not fun at all.

Only when Zhu Xiaoxiao and Yuyun were together could she act shamelessly. However, Yuyun didn't mention those boring rules. As long as Yuyun mentioned the rules of their family, Zhu Xiaoxiao would feel so bored that she wanted to jump into the canal to commit suicide. It was more interesting to jump into the river to fight with the river god!

As she thought about it, the boat had already docked.

Zhu Xiaoxiao was overjoyed and wanted to jump onto the shore, but someone jumped onto the boat. The two of them bumped into each other and fell onto the boat.

Zhu Xiaoxiao was fine. After all, she had learned kung fu before and was not bad at it. She had also learned Qinggong very well. When she ran seriously, even Yuyun and E Min could not catch up. Therefore, when she realized that she had bumped into someone, she immediately used the momentum to bounce back. However, the person who had collided with Zhu Xiaoxiao was in a bad situation.

The man lay on the deck and groaned in pain."Ouch, it hurts! Which blind scoundrel dared to hit me?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao was about to retort with her hands on her hips, but Yuyun's voice came from behind her.

"Ge Ge, why are you here?”

Suddenly hearing Yuyun's voice, the woman on the deck quickly raised her head,"Little Yuzi, you're finally back!" I finally see you! I…It hurts!"

It turned out that the person who had bumped into Zhu Xiaoxiao was none other than Ge Ge of the Imperial Residence of King Cheng!! Clear the sky.

Qingjiu's hit was not light. When she saw Yuyun, she only felt 30% pain, but it immediately doubled to 10%, and even her tears rolled down."It hurts, Little Yuzi, it hurts! Can you help me up?"

Before Yuyun could say anything, Zhu Xiaoxiao had already thrown the two mice that she had given to Yuqi and Yuyun at Qingjiu's face and scolded,""Shameless! Did you call her Little Yuzi? Only Fifth Master and the Emperor can call Brother Yun Little Yuzi. What right do you have to call him Little Yuzi? And men and women should not touch each other, do you understand? If you fall down, you should get up by yourself. Stop crying and acting pitiful. Who do you think you are? The reincarnation of Xi Shi? You want all the men in the world to save you just because you hold your heart and frown? Stop being so smug!"

The sudden " flying " of the mouse really scared Qingjiu so much that she screamed again and again. Zhu Xiaoxiao's scolding stunned her again. Seeing this, Yuyun almost laughed out loud and quickly pulled Zhu Xiaoxiao back.

"Xiaoxiao, don't be impudent! This is Princess Qingjiu of King Cheng's estate!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao snorted." Princess Qingjiu? I think it's the smug Ge Ge!"

Qingjiu was so angry that her eyebrows shot up." Little Yuzi, who is she? What right does she have to scold people like this?"

Zhu Xiaoxiao humphed and raised her chin high." Why?" she asked. Because I'm Brother Yun's wife, because I'm his wife, because I'm the daughter-in-law of the Yu family.”

Qingjiu froze on the spot as if she had been struck by lightning." W-what did you say? Are you Little Yuzi's…wife?"

"That's right. I'm not only Brother Yun's wife, but also the mother of Brother Yun's child!”

Qingjiu shook her head in disbelief." Impossible! This is impossible! How could you be his wife? His wife is me, me! Only I am qualified to be his wife. No other woman is qualified!”

Zhu Xiaoxiao proudly held Yuyun's arm and walked to the shore." I'm sorry! The truth is in front of you. I, Zhu Xiaoxiao, am the wife of Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Yuyun. As for you, you are just a woman who goes crazy when she sees a man!”

Qingjiu still couldn't believe it. She strode forward to pull Zhu Xiaoxiao away, grabbed Yuyun's hand and asked,"She's not telling the truth, is she? She's lying to me. You didn't marry her, did you? Am I right?"

Yuyun frowned and shook her head, not saying a word.

" I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" How could you get married after a trip to Shaoxing? You promised me that you would marry me when we returned from Shaoxing. How could you…How could you…"

At this moment, Yuqi's dignified voice sounded.

"Stop, Qingjiu! What was it like to pull a man like this in public? Why aren't you letting go?"

Qingjiu's eyes widened as she slowly turned around to look at Yuqi, who was slowly approaching." Your Highness, this isn't real. Tell me, this isn't real!"”

Yuqi shook his head and said with a serious expression,"This is true. Moreover, I personally officiated Little Yuzi's marriage!”

Qingjiu's face turned pale when she heard that. She looked at Yuqi, then at Yuyun and Zhu Xiaoxiao. Her legs went soft and she fainted.

Seeing Qingjiu faint, Yuqi shouted,""E Min!"

"Your Highness!"

"Send someone to send Ge Ge back to the residence and tell Prince Cheng that I will personally hold a wedding banquet for Little Yuzi in Prince De's residence.”

"Tsk!"

In the garden, Zhu Xiaoxiao was kicking a laurel tree fiercely. Her little fists were pounding left and right, back and forth, and her little face was flushed red." I'll kill you!"”

Not far away, Yuyun was angry, funny, and frightened. This girl was angry again, and she even took out her anger on Ama's favorite osmanthus tree. If she killed the tree, how would he explain it to Ama?

Yuyun walked forward and coaxed Zhu Xiaoxiao,""Xiaoxiao, I know you're angry, but your hand will hurt if you hit the tree like this. Can you stop hitting it?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao glared at him and kicked the osmanthus tree again." No, I'm very, very angry now. I must hit someone!" If I don't hit someone, I'll die of anger! But you didn't allow me to hit people, so I had to hit the tree!”

Yuyun shook her head helplessly." Xiaoxiao, do you have to fight?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao nodded angrily." That's right. Otherwise, I'll be very, very angry, and then I'll die of anger!”

"In that case, I'll let you fight?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped and looked at him." Really? You want me to hit you?"

"Yes! I know you're angry because I hid the truth about Qingjiu, so I'll let you hit me, but you have to listen to my explanation.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him, as if she was trying to figure out where to hit him. After a while, she nodded." Alright, I'll hit you. After that, tell me about that smug Ge Ge!"”

Before he could finish, Zhu Xiaoxiao had already punched Yuyun.

Yuyun did not dodge. The punch hit his nose bridge and sent him flying. He crashed heavily into the wall of the garden. Yuyun's nose was bleeding, and gold bars and ingots were flying in front of her.

Looking at Yuyun, who was sent flying and hit the wall, Zhu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but regret,"Brother Yun, are you okay?" I didn't do it on purpose, I…"

"Where did this wild girl come from? Men, take him down!"

A thunderous voice suddenly sounded at the door, making Zhu Xiaoxiao's ears buzz.

Before he could react, the two Goshhas had already grabbed Zhu Xiaoxiao.

However, Zhu Xiaoxiao was not so easily caught. He twisted his waist and knocked over one Goshhar, then raised his leg and kicked the other Goshhar far away. He cried in pain.

Zhu Xiaoxiao jumped in front of the person who spoke, pointed at his nose and scolded,""What wild girl? I think you're the one who's really…"

Seeing this, Yuyun quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhu Xiaoxiao away," Xiaoxiao, don't be presumptuous! He is my father, your father-in-law!"

Zhu Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, and her imposing manner disappeared without a trace in an instant. She bit her lip and looked guilty. She stole a glance at the middle-aged man with slightly tanned skin and a serious face." Ah…Ama?”

"Right, why aren't you kowtowing to Ma?" Yuyun pulled Zhu Xiaoxiao to kneel on the ground and kowtowed three times.”

Yuhe snorted." You finally remember that you have me, your Amma. I thought you had forgotten your surname and name the moment you left.”

"I wouldn't dare."

Yuhe asked coldly,"You don't dare?" You've even made your own decision on such a big matter as marrying a wife. What else do you not dare to do?”

Hearing this, Yuyun replied neither obsequiously nor arrogantly,"It's not that I made the decision myself. It's Fifth Master who made the decision for my son.”

When Yuqi was mentioned, half of the anger in Yuhe's stomach disappeared." If your marriage was really decided by Fifth Master, then so be it. But how could there be rumors outside that you married a wild girl and even ruthlessly humiliated King Cheng's manor's Ge Ge?"”

"I'm not a wild girl. I have a name. My name is Zhu Xiaoxiao." Besides, I didn't humiliate that smug beauty Ge Ge. She was the one who was shameless and insisted on talking to Brother Yun intimately. Even Fifth Master couldn't stand it and stood up to speak. If you don't believe me, you can ask Lord Fifth!”

When Yuhe heard that, he almost choked on his own saliva.

Pretty girl? To think that this girl could think of this. She actually called the famous Qing Jing of King Cheng's Imperial Residence a smug beauty?

He glanced at Zhu Xiaoxiao." Your name is Zhu Xiaoxiao?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao puffed out her chest." That's right. Zhu Xiaoxiao is me. I am Zhu Xiaoxiao."”

"I heard that because your father is the county magistrate of Shaoxing, you always run amok and fight in Shaoxing City. Is that true?”

"My father is indeed the county magistrate of Shaoxing, but I didn't do anything just because my father is the county magistrate. What I did was a big matter on behalf of the heavens!”

"Something big? Fighting and causing trouble is called a big deal?"

"Fighting is not a big deal, but if it's fighting bad people, local ruffians, hooligans, or local bullies, it's a big deal. Especially those rich people who colluded with high officials and bullied the common people!”

At the moment, Zhu Xiaoxiao told him how she beat Wu Wanjin half to death, how she persuaded Aunt Zhang to go to the capital to complain, and how she overthrew the corrupt officials with the help of Yuyun and Yuqi.

"If I really fought and caused trouble, then a fair and just person like Fifth Master would have long arrested me and my father for punishment. How could he officiate the marriage for me and Brother Yun? That's why I didn't fight and cause trouble. I'm not a wild girl. I'm Brother Yun's wife, your wife!”

Yuhe's stern expression instantly softened, but his gaze towards Zhu Xiaoxiao was still very cold." Wife? If you really are the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, why would you hold your fists against your husband? If you were really the daughter-in-law of the Yu family, why would you be rude to your father-in-law? Therefore, you are not qualified to be the daughter-in-law of my Yu family.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao jumped up." Old Yu, you!”

Yuyun grabbed her." Xiaoxiao!”

"But he…"

Yuhe cleared his throat and said to Yuyun as he walked into the room,"Bring her to see your mother and let your mother teach her well. A month later, I will ask Fifth Master to check the results and see if she has learned the rules. If she still can't learn it, send her back to Shaoxing, and you will follow the emperor's orders and marry Qing Jing into the family, understand?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao was so angry that her entire body was trembling, her teeth were sore, and she was so angry that her willow-like eyebrows stood up. She was so furious that she almost couldn't speak.

"What…do you mean? What did he mean by sending her back to Shaoxing if she failed? He wants you to divorce me and marry that smug beauty, right?”

Yuyun looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao calmly, as if she had expected this to happen.

"Xiaoxiao, don't let your imagination run wild.”He comforted her.

"My imagination? He had already made it so clear, and you still said that I was imagining things? And this afternoon at the dock, I also heard that smug beauty saying that you agreed to marry her.”

Yuyun's face darkened." Xiaoxiao, I…"

" I've never understood. I didn't do anything wrong, and I didn't cause trouble for you and Father. Why did you forbid me from hitting people, not allowing me to show my face in public, and even making me learn a bunch of rules? So…so you already knew that your parents wouldn't accept me, and that Ge Ge was waiting to marry you. You were afraid of losing face, so…so…"

Yuyun sighed lightly and reached out to hug Zhu Xiaoxiao, but was pushed away by Zhu Xiaoxiao.

"Don't touch me! If you don't make things clear today, don't even think about touching me!”

Yuyun looked at Zhu Xiaoxiao for a long time, thinking about how to say it so as not to annoy this grumpy little thing." Xiaoxiao, I admit that I did marry you to escape the emperor's forced marriage, and the reason why your father's announcement was also my idea."”

Zhu Xiaoxiao stared at Yu Yun in disbelief." What did you say? Did you…ask your father to write that notice?”

"That's right! No matter who came to ask for marriage, you would punch them back. In the end, Lord Zhu could not do anything about it. In addition, he offended Yinghua because of Wu Wanjin. He was afraid that one day, trouble would come to you. It just so happened that Fifth Master and I went to Shaoxing to investigate a case. We asked about you and also proposed marriage to him. Your father said that you were stubborn and refused to marry easily. In order to make you convinced to marry me, Fifth Master, your father, and I came up with the idea of writing a notice to recruit a groom.”

"Then…about the arena…"

"That was your father's idea. He said that if he wanted you to marry me wholeheartedly, he would have to make you admit defeat in front of everyone. Otherwise, even though you agreed verbally, you would be muttering in your heart. You might even run away from home in the middle of the night and escape.”

"Did you collude with Father and Fifth Master to deal with Yinghua?”

Yuyun shook her head." That's not it! I came to Shaoxing this time to investigate Yinghua. How could I collude with Yinghua?”

"But why did you put Wu Wanjin in jail?”

Mentioning this matter, Yu Yun unconsciously wanted to laugh,"This is thanks to you!" If it weren't for you, Fifth Master and I wouldn't have been able to find Yinghua's little pigtail so smoothly!”

"What did I do? Don't I only know how to fight and cause trouble? How could he have done something good to help you?”Zhu Xiaoxiao said unhappily.

"No way! Just like you said yourself, you beat up local ruffians and local bullies. It's not considered a fight, but if you say you're doing justice for the heavens, your methods are a little clumsy. However, it was thanks to your clumsy methods that I was able to capture Wu Wanjin without any effort.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao shook her head with a confused expression." Brother Yun, I don't understand what you're talking about. Can you explain it more clearly?"”

Yuyun grinned." Let me ask you, where did you meet Wu Wanjin? How did he beat him up?”

"I told you, I was following him when he went to bribe Yinghua. When I saw that he was about to enter Shaoxing, I seized the opportunity to beat him up so that he wouldn't dare to bully anyone again in his next life!”

"Did you notice anything when you hit him? For example, was there anyone else around?”

"No! " I was only focused on fixing those servants, so I didn't notice..." Zhu Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped as if she had recalled something," No, I remember that there was a carriage parked beside us. However, I didn't notice it because the people in the carriage didn't get off." Could it be…"

Yuyun nodded." That's right. Fifth Master and I were sitting in that carriage at that time. We witnessed with our own eyes how you, this girl, taught Wu Wanjin a lesson.”

Zhu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned red." You mean you and Fifth Master saw me hit him?”

"Yes, and because of you, Fifth Master and I found evidence of Yinghua's adultery with Wu Wanjin without any effort. Isn't this all thanks to you?”Yuyun put her hands on Zhu Xiaoxiao's shoulders." Xiaoxiao, do you know why I like you and why I want to marry you?"”

Zhu Xiaoxiao shook her head dumbly." I don't know!”

"Actually, one of the reasons I wanted to marry you was to escape the emperor's forced marriage, but the most important reason was for your bravery and kindness.

Since I was young, I had the emperor assign me to study with Fifth Master, so it's not impossible to say that I grew up in the palace. It is precisely because I grew up in the palace that I have seen many despicable people who do not hesitate to sacrifice others for their own interests and climb up by stepping on others. Therefore, when I saw that someone as thin and innocent as you seriously wanted to help the weak and help the weak, do you know how touched I was when I saw you risk your life for someone who had nothing to do with you?

From then on, I knew that you were the only woman I wanted in my life. No matter what method I used or how much I had to pay, I would definitely marry you. I would marry you for your courage, for your innocence, and for your beauty and innocence. Do you understand?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and her face flushed red." If that's the case, why don't you let me hit you?”

Yuyun pulled her into her arms and kissed her small lips deeply before saying,"As I said before, there are many ways to uphold justice on behalf of the heavens. You don't have to resort to violence, remember?”

"Yes, I remember."

"I also said that the reason why I went to Shaoxing was for Yinghua and your father. Do you remember?”

Zhu Xiaoxiao was stunned. For her father? That's right, Yuyun said he came to Shaoxing for his father, because someone in the court impeached his father for conniving his daughter to commit murder, taking bribes and bending the law, and despising the laws of the court.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaoxiao's face suddenly turned pale." Brother Yun, you said that someone in the court impeached Father, but the memorial was seized by Fifth Master. Is this true?"”

"Of course it's true. Otherwise, why would Fifth Master and I come all the way to Shaoxing?”

"Then…what about now? This matter…"

"This matter has nothing to do with it anymore, because Yinghua was one of the people who impeached your father. Now that Yinghua herself has been plucked and is waiting to be tried, the others will probably be more restrained when they see this. But the most important thing is still you.”

"On me?"

"Yes! One of the reasons why those people impeached your father was that he allowed his daughter to commit murder. After all, everyone knew that Zhu Xiaoxiao was one of the three treasures of Shaoxing, and she was the only one who knew how to beat people up. So if you can prove that not only did you not hit people, but you were also well-educated, polite, gentle and elegant, then others naturally can't use this to frame your father. Even if the matter really reaches the emperor, the emperor won't pursue your father's responsibility when he sees you, right?”

" But…but I don't read much, and I don't know how to play the zither, draw, or write poetry. I'm afraid I…"

"Don't worry, with me and Mother here, you don't have to worry about anything. As long as you obediently learn well, you'll be able to impress Ma and the others in a month, hmm?”

"And…"

"What else?"

"That smug Ge Ge said that you agreed to marry her. Is that true?”

Yuyun laughed." If I agreed to marry her, why would I need to trouble Fifth Master to help me marry her?”

"Don't you…like her a little? Wouldn't he want to marry her? Was she Ge Ge? And I'm just the daughter of a small county magistrate."

Yuyun looked at her," I already have a tigress at home, I don't need a second one!"”

Zhu Xiaoxiao punched him." I'm not a tigress. I'm Zhu Xiaoxiao!”

Yuyun smiled and hugged her as she lay on the bed." Got it. My baby Xiaoxiao, let me give you a kiss. I'll see Mother later, okay?"”

He lowered his head, and his hot lips were about to kiss her delicate and beautiful little mouth when the servant girl's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Young Master, E Min from the residence of Prince De of the First Rank said that she has an urgent matter to see Young Master.”

Yuyun was slightly startled." Alright, invite him in."”

After a while, E Min's tall and mighty figure appeared at the door and said in a rare anxious tone,"Lord Yu, something happened to Fifth Master!"

Yuyun stood up abruptly." What did you say? What's wrong with Fifth Master?"

"Something happened to Fifth Master. Please go and take a look!”#
