The next morning, Xiao Yunxi got up early and dressed up. It wasn't something too grand, just some light makeup and a touch of lipstick.

But she is naturally beautiful, and the light makeup makes her look more like a sickly Xizi.

Paired with a floor-length skirt with golden silk and lotus pink pleated skirt, and a white brocade belt across it, her slender waist seemed so slender that it could be grasped with one hand.

When Lu Jingting saw her, his eyes lit up and he sighed inwardly, what a beautiful woman.

Xiao Yunxi walked forward without looking around and got straight into the carriage.

Chun Xiao followed closely behind, looking at the surprise in Lu Jingting's eyes, and curled her lips in dissatisfaction.

Xia He lowered her head and said, "Please come back to your senses, my lord, and don't waste time."

"Ah?...Ahem!" Lu Jingting came back to his senses, looked at the surprised expressions of the servants behind him, shook his sleeves awkwardly, and quickly mounted his horse to lead the way.

An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

Xiao Yunxi opened the car curtain and got out first, then she heard Lu Jingting ask hesitantly, "Is this the way the Ningguo Marquisate welcomes the aunt who married out?"

Xiao Yunxi was a little confused.

She tilted her head, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching.

On both sides of the vermilion gate at the back entrance of Ningguo, there was a black and ferocious mastiff tied up, staring at Lu Jingting with eyes wide open, as if it would pounce on him at any time.

Xiao Yunxi held her head helplessly, fearing that her second cousin had also returned to Beijing. Could Lu Jingting still leave alive today?

Chunxiao was unusually excited. You have neglected and humiliated our princess. Do you really think that the Ningguo Marquisate has a good temper? I will definitely skin you alive today!

"Don't worry, my lord. This is the mastiff that the Second Young Master has raised since childhood. It is very human-like and will not attack anyone easily. It will only bite those who are black-hearted and bully our princess."

Lu Jingting's face was full of black lines, he felt guilty and embarrassed, but looking at Xiao Yunxi's indifferent expression, he closed his eyes. After all, he was the one who made the mistake first, so he let her vent her anger.

I don't think Master Xiao would let him be mauled to death or maimed by a dog...

"Princess, let's go in."

Xiao Yunxi looked at Lu Jingting's fearless expression and couldn't help but sneer. What a pity! Now is not a good time to be a widower.

Xiao Yunxi stepped forward and saw the white-bearded housekeeper Xiao running over breathlessly. "My little princess, you are finally back. The old master has asked about you several times."

"Grandpa Butler, please go slower, don't fall."

Chunxiao and Xiahe hurried forward to support Butler Xiao.

Lu Jingting looked at Xiao Yunxi's slightly red eyes and felt very guilty. According to the laws of the Dali period, a woman could not return to her parents' home without her husband's company.

In the past two years, he has been away from the capital, so she must have never returned to her parents' home once.

When he thought of this, he stepped forward and took Xiao Yunxi's hand, whispering: "Yunxi, don't be sad, I will often accompany you back to visit your family in the future."

Xiao Yunxi was startled, secretly thinking that he was sick, and pulled his hand out with force, frowning and saying: "Prince, please respect yourself!"

As if Lu Jingting didn't hear her refusal, he stepped forward again and held her hand tightly, "Princess, we are husband and wife. It was my fault before. From now on, I will treat you wholeheartedly..."

"It's not necessary!"

Xiao Yunxi pulled her hand back again and walked forward to greet Butler Xiao.

Butler Xiao looked at Lu Jingting's bloodless face, which was full of despair and regret, and was secretly amazed. He asked with interest, "It's been two years, and this is the first time that the prince has come to visit as a son-in-law."

Lu Jingting came back to his senses and heard Butler Xiao continue to say, "Grand Master and the Second Young Master have been waiting for a long time. Please move to the martial arts arena, Your Highness."

Xiao Yunxi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Grandpa Butler, the prince is weak, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out after entering the martial arts arena."

Lu Jingting retorted anxiously, "Princess, I am not good at writing, but I am good at martial arts. I think the Grand Master and my cousin want to test my ability. I will go to the martial arts arena now and will definitely perform well."

After saying that, Lu Jingting urged the servant beside him to take him to the martial arts arena quickly.

Xiao Yunxi and Butler Xiao smiled at each other.

"Grandpa Butler, take me to the kitchen. I'm going to make some side dishes for Grandpa and my brother."

"That's great! The Grand Master and the Second Young Master have been praising your cooking a lot."

Xiao Yunxi supported Butler Xiao and walked towards the kitchen, not even thinking of going over to take a look at Lu Jingting.

Chun Xiao secretly tugged at Xia He's sleeve and said, "The prince will not die in the martial arts arena, will he?"

Xia He thought about it seriously and said, "Don't worry, the Second Young Master knows his limits, at most he'll get a bruised face and nose."

Chunxiao was speechless. Does the Second Young Master know his limits? How come I don't know?

"Do you want to grab some sunflower seeds and watch the fun?" Xiao Yunxi's sinister voice came, "Come over and help me!"

"Yes." Chunxiao stuck out his tongue and hurriedly chased after him with Xia He.

Two hours later, Grand Tutor Xiao, the Second Young Master Xiao, and Lu Jingting were sitting in the dining room waiting for Xiao Yunxi.

Chunxiao and Xiahe were directing the maids to serve the dishes. When they saw the satisfied-looking Second Young Master and the bruised and battered Master Lu, they looked at each other knowingly and stood aside respectfully.

Xiao Yunxi personally came in carrying the lotus root and pork ribs soup. After putting it down, she bowed and greeted Grand Tutor Xiao and the Second Young Master Xiao in a proper manner.

"Grandfather, second brother, Yunxi misses you so much."

Xiao Yunxi lay on Grand Tutor Xiao's lap just like she did when she was a child, full of admiration.

Grand Tutor Xiao looked at his most beloved granddaughter and couldn't help but shed tears. He patted her shoulder and said, "My dear daughter, get up quickly. Grandfather and your second brother will stay in the capital from now on. If you miss home, send someone to send a letter and ask your second brother to pick you up in person. I don't think Master Lu will have any objection, right?"

Just as Lu Jingting was about to reply, he felt a pain at the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but hiss, "Grand Master, you are too kind. If Yun Xi misses home, I will definitely send her back in person. I dare not trouble my second brother."

Xiao Jingchen glanced at this "brother-in-law" coldly, and whispered to Xiao Yunxi: "Yunxi, come and sit down. He just had a good sparring with his brother-in-law in the martial arts arena, and he should be hungry."

Lu Jingting secretly rubbed his abdomen, which had just been punched several times by Jamel Xiao, and forced a smile, “Second brother is joking.”

“I never joke.” Jamel Xiao didn’t give any face and still had a cold face.

Lu Jingting: …

With Chun Xiao's help, Xiao Yunxi stood up and sat next to Grand Tutor Xiao, facing Lu Jingting.

The corners of his mouth were bruised, his eyes were red and swollen...it was so ugly.

Why is the second brother like this? Doesn’t he know that if you hit someone in the face you shouldn’t hit him in the face. If you hit him in the face you have to hit him to death?

Either they would beat the shameful parts to death, or they would pinch the face and cut it as much as possible to disfigure it.

This just caused a slight scratch on my skin, which was not painful at all!

Just as she was about to make a few sarcastic remarks, she saw her second brother glanced at her coldly, and she dared not say anything for a moment.

Never mind. Second brother has always been a ruthless person. I guess Lu Jingting only had some scratches on his face, but he must be vomiting blood inside.
