Chapter 61: Providing Ample Confidence
The head of the Lin family was the first to burst into laughter. "This child is right. Our Yueya isn't being coy; she's just being thrifty."
He thought to himself inwardly: For one so young, this child has a remarkably quick wit and handsome features. Could he be the son of the son-in-law's brother?
The offspring of the Meng family had always been the most enviable among the four major clans.
The second madam was deeply unconvinced. She glanced at Luofan, her eyes lighting up. "Who is this child? Could he possibly be the son-in-law's illegitimate son?"
If that were truly the case, the rivalry between the two sides would no longer be a mere matter of pride, but a full-blown direct confrontation.
As the commoners of various dynasties witnessed the commentary on the celestial screen and saw the Eastern Han dynasty dubbed the Eastern Han Kindergarten, they felt the moniker was thoroughly well-deserved.
To be honest, had it not been for the intention of taking in this wretched girl so she could eventually serve as a maid for his own eight-year-old brain-damaged son at home...
Fang Xiaoru held immense prestige among the literati. The Confucian scholars within the Hall of Assembled Worthies were all busy paying their respects to him, and someone immediately pressed him for details regarding the Fourth Grand Imperial Son's talent for poetry.
The fighters who had surrounded Jiang Xun, ready to serve him tea and tend to him, suddenly stared in astonishment. They found that even after surpassing two hundred punches, Jiang Xun showed no signs of stopping; instead, he fought with increasing vigor.
Compared to Xiao Tianheng, Ye Lingkong was far more capable of perfectly unleashing the full power of the Celestial God Gauntlets.
"From the cultivation of spiritual roots to the emergence of spiritual perception, every step consumes spiritual stones." With this thought, Zhu Zhanji pondered in secret and decided to raise the resource allocation.
However, the video on the celestial screen gave Cao Cao hope that this phenomenon could be changed. He felt that if he could secure such medicine for the sake of the country, his chances of victory in times of war would increase by another fraction.
Zone defense—this was the one thing they had yet to try, and it was also the suggestion that invariably arose whenever the topic of "how to restrict Dafei" was brought up on the streets.
Yet Jiang Xun knew his own situation best. The reason he had been so formidable before was simply because he had leased Grade-A combat abilities. Once the lease period expired, that terrifying combat prowess naturally vanished with it.
Zhong Qi understood now, and he carefully inspected every piece of excrement left behind on the ground—some he recognized, but others he did not.
Madam Yu brought Chujian back to the Frown-Gathering Garden, seated her gently on the daybed, and hurried Lingyu to fetch the peppermint ointment.
"Then... do you also like jade maidens?" Although jade maidens and narcissi belonged to the same family, their appearances and fragrances differed vastly.
With a cold expression, he glanced at her sideways and pinched the joint of her index finger, causing Bai Xiao to gasp sharply in pain and pull her hand back desperately.
Ever since Guixiang set off until this very day, so much time had passed. Ah Shan and the others had been feeling anxious all along. Seeing Sheng Yu's current demeanor made them even less able to keep their composure.
Once the pheasants were caught, their feet were tied before putting them into the cages so they wouldn't thrash about too violently. Each cage held five birds, and after setting down five cages, the remaining ones were stacked on top of each other, forming two layers in total.
Crown Prince Qi Lan was exceptionally brilliant, but the more brilliant he was, the more apprehensive the Emperor of Northern Di became. Qi Lan relied far too heavily on the Murong family, and the Emperor worried that once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, the empire of Northern Di would change its surname.
"What a coincidence. I spoke like that earlier just to ease Older Brother Oleves's tension and talk about something else to lighten the atmosphere. It seems great minds think alike." Nefarian patted him on the shoulder with a smile, looking completely harmless to humans and animals.
Her hardships were still far from over, and there was far too little he could do to help her right now. He needed to figure something out... Zhou Ruiling walked along with his shoes in hand, lost deep in thought.
To her surprise, judging by the calm expressions of the two bosses and the car they had specially rented just to welcome distinguished guests, it seemed they had known Su Ruotong was coming all along—they had even thoroughly checked which ferry she would take.
Su Le closed her eyes tightly, thinking that if she simply ignored him, this Night Chen would probably quiet down just a little bit.
