The military master pledged his life to the country, and the military wife pledged her life to him.

"I knew this woman couldn't do anything good. I really don't know why Second Brother likes her." Fu Ning snorted in dissatisfaction.

Fu Huaichuan: "She didn't do anything to you, did she?"

Lin Xi was about to say no when she heard Old Lady Zhou say, "They did, but the people your second brother brought stopped them in time."

"You didn't see how the beating and scolding scared an old lady like me. All the shoppers and sellers in the mall came over to watch the fun. It was the first time in my life that I knew what it meant to be the center of attention!"

As a daughter-in-law herself, Mrs. Zhou knew how difficult it was for Lin Xi to be caught between Fu Huaichuan and his brothers, so without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, she vividly recounted what had happened in the mall, over the weekend, and Fu Huaichuan and Fu Ning.

It’s the weekend: “…”

It was the first time he saw his step-grandmother so eloquent.

In the past, she was always an extremely dignified and elegant old lady in front of the younger generations.

But I don’t know why, it’s the weekend, but I always feel that the old lady like this today is more real and lovely than the usual her.

After listening to what Old Lady Zhou said, Fu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I knew that my second brother was not a reliable person."

"Although what happened today was not his fault, it was ultimately because of him. He really...deserved it!"

Fu Huaichuan: "Did my second brother say whether they would come over for dinner tonight?"

Lin Xi shook his head and said, "No."

"Then don't cook for them at night!"

"That's right, Xixi, since Second Brother didn't say anything, then don't cook for them. You're not that woman's nanny, so why should you cook for her? You can't spoil an ungrateful person like her, otherwise she will really treat you as a nanny in the future, and even look down on you..."

Fu Ning is very experienced in this matter.

"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I don't want my second brother to be caught in the middle. If the couple quarrels over such a small matter, it will be bad for both my second brother and Miaomiao."

It's not that Lin Xi suddenly became full of compassion.

She was just worried that Hu Qiong's mischief would affect Fu Boyan's work.

Fu Boyan has sacrificed a lot for the career he loves over the years. It would be a pity if the career he loves is eventually ruined by these family affairs.

Fu Ning: "Let them make a scene, who told my second brother to not listen to mom and find a wife randomly?"

"If Second Brother's career is really ruined because of her nonsense, then that's Second Brother's fate. Besides, if she really wants to make trouble, it won't work if you give in. We don't need to put their fate on our own shoulders. What's more, people always have to pay for their own decisions."

It's the weekend: "Xixi, didn't you say that your old master has the final say?"

"Yes, Xixi, you have to listen to Fourth Brother. Fourth Brother is just getting better now, so don't make him angry." Fu Ning echoed from the side.

It was not until this moment that Mrs. Zhou understood the true meaning of what Lin Xi had said to her in the mall.

Seeing this, she chimed in, "Xixi, maybe your second sister-in-law would rather spend some time alone with your second brother than having dinner with a large group of you."

It's the weekend: "That's right, Xixi, don't do something bad with good intentions and make people hate you. By the way, Xixi, what did you buy?"

Lin Xi immediately took out the things she bought and shared them with Fu Huaichuan, Fu Ning and Zhou Wu.

Fu Huaichuan: "Didn't you buy it for yourself?"

"That's right, why don't you buy some of your favorite clothes, shoes, bags, necklaces, etc. on your rare trip to Kyoto? Is it because of money?" Weekend asked.

Without waiting for Lin Xi to speak, he continued, "Don't you have all my money? If you buy it with my money, consider it a gift from me to you."

Fu Huaichuan: ???

"This is my wife. Why should I spend your money to buy these things? Do you think my husband is just a decoration?"

It’s the weekend: “Isn’t it good for me to help you save money?”

Fu Huaichuan: "Not good."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Lin Xi hurriedly said, "Grandma Zhou and I walked around the mall for several rounds and really didn't see anything we liked. Besides, we still have to stay in Kyoto for a while, so it won't be too late to buy it before we leave Kyoto."

Fu Huaichuan: "I see that the girls in Kyoto all wear leather shoes. Take some time these two days to buy yourself two pairs of different leather sandals, and buy yourself two nice and pretty dresses."

Hearing this, Lin Xi pretended to be unhappy and said, "Fu Huaichuan, are you complaining that I'm wearing too rustic clothes and I'm losing face with you?"

"Of course not. I just want you to dress up beautifully like those girls in Kyoto and look glamorous..."

"I think I'm pretty and glamorous now. If I continue to be pretty and glamorous, what if I'm noticed by those powerful and lustful old men?"

Lin Xi said with a cocky look on his face: "I heard that among the nine people who were killed by a bricklayer falling down in Kyoto, eight were officials... People like us who are outsiders without any backing should keep a low profile..." After all, my face is beautiful enough and makes people jealous.

It’s the weekend: “Grandma, did you hear what Xixi said?”

Grandma Zhou was stunned. Just as she was worrying about how to respond to Weekend's question, she heard Weekend's laughing voice jokingly: "Remember to urge my grandfather when you go back. Tell him not to take advantage of his age to enjoy himself. At his age, it is time for him to work hard for the younger generations. Tell him to spend more time on work and stop thinking about food all day. Let him strive to climb up the ladder. Our Xixi has no one to rely on in Kyoto."

Lin Xi: ???

"Old Zhou, do you want to be beaten again? When did I say…"

Before Lin Xi finished speaking, she heard Old Lady Zhou say in a serious tone, "Don't worry, when I go back, I will definitely urge your Grandpa Zhou not to indulge in enjoyment, but to continue to work hard and strive to become your backer in Kyoto as soon as possible, so that those lustful people will not dare to covet our Xixi's beautiful face anymore..."

"Grandma Zhou, why are you playing tricks with Weekend?"

Lin Xi blushed and helplessly hugged Old Lady Zhou's arm and acted coquettishly, which made Old Lady Zhou, Weekend and Fu Huaichuan laugh.

Hu Qiong followed Fu Boyan in silence. Seeing that he had a sullen face and seemed to not notice her current embarrassment at all, she felt even more wronged.

"Fu Boyan, are you done yet?"

Finally she couldn't help but explode.

"I admit that I was wrong today..."
