Once back in her room, Yun Xi read through the information that Quan Zongrui had given her as she spoke to Mu Feichi over the phone.
When she joked about what Old Master Quan had mentioned at the mansion, the Young Commander suddenly turned silent for a second.
"Who knew he would want me to become his granddaughter-in-law." Yun Xi laughed.
"How dare he do that? I'll have him hanged!" the man at the other end of the line scolded.
"Oh? You sure sound cute when you're jealous."
"Shut up! You better be back tomorrow! I'll have to punish you!"
"I don't think I can. We'll have to take Aunt Lin with us to where my mother was last seen, which is Muyang. Since it's almost the New Year, I was thinking maybe I could go back and have a look—visit the neighbors and stuff. All my relatives may have left—even my uncle is in Jingdu—but I still grew up there."
The man at the other end of the line sighed and finally said, "Fine. Be careful."
