Chapter 195: Brother-in-Law is So Amazing!

Seeing Mu Wanqing’s expression, Yu Xian knew she still cared for Duan Yu in her heart. What a pity; of all people, the lovers in this world turned out to be brother and sister!

“So that’s how it is. No wonder you two were rushing around so recklessly, almost hitting someone,” Yu Xian said with a smile, shaking his head.

If they had run into an ordinary person instead of them, that person might not have survived.

“We didn’t mean to! If we hadn’t run quickly, I don’t dare to imagine the consequences if we fell into that wicked man’s hands. Brother-in-law, please forgive us, okay? We really didn’t mean it!” Zhong Ling grabbed Yu Xian’s arm and began shaking it coquettishly.

Oh dear, with that adorable look, how could he bear to blame her? Yu Xian currently wished he could hold Little Zhong Ling in his palm and pamper her.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. Brother-in-law isn’t angry, I was just worried about you. Did you fall and hurt yourself?” Yu Xian finally asked about Zhong Ling’s injury.

Although he spoke to Zhong Ling, his gaze also swept over Mu Wanqing, implying, ‘Are you injured anywhere too?’

Mu Wanqing was so embarrassed by that glance that her face flushed again, mainly because Yu Xian was too handsome. The way he looked at her always seemed to carry some hidden meaning.

“Wuwu… I fell so hard! Brother-in-law, look, my hand is scraped open!” As soon as she heard this, Zhong Ling became aggrieved, holding out both palms to let Yu Xian see the wounds on her hands.

Indeed, both of her hands had quite a few scrapes, and they were still bleeding!

“Don’t cry, don’t cry. It’s all Brother-in-law’s fault. Brother-in-law will bandage it for you right now.” Saying that, Yu Xian really took out a handkerchief from his robe, gently took Zhong Ling’s hands, and began to wipe them.

Afraid of hurting Zhong Ling, he then gently blew on her palms. Finally, he sprinkled some wound powder on them before wrapping Zhong Ling’s hands with the handkerchief—as meticulously as one could be.

Even the usually carefree Zhong Ling couldn’t help but blush at this moment.

“There, don’t let them touch water for the next couple of days, okay?” Yu Xian was very satisfied with his masterpiece and didn’t forget to remind Zhong Ling after finishing.

Zhong Ling nodded in gratitude, thinking to herself, ‘This Brother-in-law is so gentle.’

After bandaging Zhong Ling, Yu Xian’s gaze turned to Mu Wanqing. “Miss Mu, how about you? Are you hurt anywhere? I can bandage you up too? My wound medicine is quite good.”

When Mu Wanqing heard this, she thought of Yu Xian’s actions toward Zhong Ling just now, and her ears instantly burned. She immediately stepped back a few paces, hid her hands behind her back, and shook her head firmly: “I… I’m fine, no need for bandaging.”

“Really fine?” Yu Xian asked again uncertainly.

Mu Wanqing nodded affirmatively, afraid that Yu Xian would take another step closer.

The corner of Yu Xian’s mouth curved up slightly, and he said, “Alright then. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, just tell me. You are A Zhu’s sister, we are all family.”

Mu Wanqing dodged Yu Xian with a look of slight alarm but still nodded seriously.

“Since that’s the case, what are your plans next? Are you going back to Dali?” Yu Xian then asked Mu Wanqing.

Zhong Ling dared not express an opinion; she followed Mu Wanqing’s lead, just waiting for her decision. Wherever Mu Wanqing said they would go, she would go.

“Mm, go back,” Mu Wanqing replied. She still couldn’t let go of Duan Yu.

“But your horses…” Yu Xian looked at the horses that had been lying on the ground gasping earlier; they were now lifeless.

Well, they had been scared to death.

“We can walk back on our own two feet,” Mu Wanqing said firmly.

Yu Xian nodded; she was a stubborn girl.

“Young Master…” A Zhu tugged at Yu Xian’s clothes, wanting to ask if Yu Xian could go and fetch a horse for them to use. With Yu Xian’s Lightness Skill, the round trip should be quick.

“A Zhu, are you thinking of giving our horse to your sister and cousin?” Yu Xian noticed A Zhu’s look and realized her intention.

“No, I mean, Young Master, could you find a horse for them? It’s not safe for two young ladies to walk on the road like this,” A Zhu quickly shook her head and denied it.

Yu Xian affectionately stroked A Zhu’s head and said with a smile, “Then we might as well just give them our horse! We don’t necessarily need horses.”

“That works too.” A Zhu understood Yu Xian’s meaning and nodded in agreement.

“Brother-in-law, are you planning to lend us your horses?” Zhong Ling asked after hearing the conversation between Yu Xian and A Zhu.

Yu Xian and A Zhu both nodded.

“Then how will you travel?” Zhong Ling asked, tilting her cute little head.

“Like this!” Yu Xian said, then swiftly pulled A Zhu close, activated his Lightness Skill, and vanished before Zhong Ling’s eyes, reappearing moments later flying back and forth among the trees above their heads.

“Wow! So fast, so fast! Brother-in-law is so amazing!” Zhong Ling watched, completely dumbfounded. Once she reacted, all that remained was boundless admiration.

“Brother-in-law, I, I, I… I want to try too!” Zhong Ling was extremely interested after seeing A Zhu being carried by Yu Xian while flying.

“Alright then!” After returning, Yu Xian released A Zhu, switched to Zhong Ling, and then darted between the treetops again!

Zhong Ling’s various joyful cries echoed from the air.

“Little Sister Zhong Ling is so cute!” A Zhu said with a smile, looking at the two people playing overhead.

“That’s your husband!” Mu Wanqing said, frowning, but envy was hidden deep in her eyes.

“But she’s also a little sister,” A Zhu’s smile remained unchanged.

A Zhu wouldn’t suspect Yu Xian of having any improper feelings for Zhong Ling; Zhong Ling was just a very cheerful child, and Yu Xian had never been interested in children. Moreover, even if there were, she wouldn’t stop it.

Mu Wanqing:…

Only after Zhong Ling had her fill of fun did Yu Xian bring her back to the ground. Zhong Ling was still chattering excitedly about the scenery and joy she experienced up high.

“Brother-in-law, you are so amazing! I like you so much!” Zhong Ling exclaimed excitedly.

Mu Wanqing:… Is that something one can just say casually?

“Be good, Ling’er. If you want to play in the future, come find Brother-in-law at Manduo Manor, and Brother-in-law will take you to play!” Yu Xian was also very doting toward Zhong Ling. Primarily, this girl was truly someone who brought delight and happiness!

“Okay, okay!” Zhong Ling immediately agreed.

“Alright, Miss Mu, I am very sorry about your horses, so please take ours to ride. Be careful on the road.” Yu Xian said, taking the reins A Zhu had brought over from A Zhu’s hand and presenting them to Mu Wanqing.

“Mm, thank you.” Mu Wanqing kept her head down, not daring to look up at Yu Xian.

“Oh, right, Miss Mu, is your mother, Qin Hongmian, also in Dali?” Yu Xian suddenly recalled Qin Hongmian. He thought of Li Qingluo’s suggestion about rounding up all of Duan Zhengchun’s lovers.

He didn’t want to think about Ruan Xingzhu, and he was rather unwilling to think about Gan Baobao, but Qin Hongmian was someone he might consider.

“What? My… My mother? My mother is in the Secluded Valley, not in Dali.” Mu Wanqing didn’t know why Yu Xian was asking about her mother, but she still answered honestly. However, after saying it, she felt something was odd.

But she couldn’t quite pinpoint what was strange.
