When Zimu and Lan Xichen were being affectionate, he also explained why Xue Yang was punished this time.

After hearing the whole story, Lan Xichen couldn’t even maintain his usual gentle expression: “So Xue Yang shaved his uncle’s beard for the candy that Sect Master Wen promised?”

One could hear surprise and disbelief in Lan Xichen's tone; it was obvious that he was very surprised by Xue Yang's behavior.

Zi Mu nodded and said, "Yes, without any hesitation, he agreed as soon as Wen Ruohan finished speaking."

Lan Xichen was silent for a moment, then he sighed softly: "This Xue Yang, it really makes me wonder what to do."

A feeling of helplessness welled up in Lan Xichen's heart. He really couldn't imagine that Xue Yang would be so easily tempted by sugar.

Lan Xichen suddenly felt sorry for Lan Qiren.

My uncle has been serious and old-fashioned all his life. When my father was in seclusion, he was the only one who had to take care of him and Wangji, as well as manage the Lan family. If he was not careful before, the Lan family would fall completely into the hands of those elders.

Now that his father has come out of seclusion, he and Wangji have grown up, and the burden on his uncle's shoulders can finally be lifted. However, finding a Taoist partner is not much of a relief.

Zi Mu leaned in Lan Xichen's arms and said gently, "Ah Huan, don't be angry. I will go to the library to see the kid who sold himself for candy."

Lan Xichen hugged Zimu tightly and nodded, “No wonder Ah Xian specifically told us not to let Xue Yang leave the Cloud Recesses.”

"It's a good thing it's Sect Master Wen, we should change someone else..."

Zi Mu lowered his head and chuckled: "Xue Yang is a quirky kid, even more clever than Ah Xian when he was a kid. He is very smart. If you change someone or a place to deceive him, he can deceive them completely."

After hearing what Zi Mu said, Lan Xichen shook his head slightly and said helplessly, "Madam is absolutely right. Xue Yang is indeed smart, but he is too naughty and gives me a headache."

Zimu gently patted Lan Xichen's chest and said, "Ah Huan, don't worry too much. Xue Yang is still young, just teach him slowly."

Lan Xichen nodded and said, “Madam is right. But as for my uncle…”

Zi Mu smiled and said, "I'll go talk to my uncle. Although my uncle is serious, he is not unreasonable. Since Xue Yang made a mistake this time, asking him to copy the family rules carefully can be regarded as a lesson."

Her eyes were full of confidence, and she believed that she could convince Lan Qiren. After all, the instigator was Lan Qiren's Taoist partner.

Lan Xichen looked at Zimu, his eyes full of love: "I feel relieved that my wife is here."

Zimu kissed Lan Xichen gently on the cheek and said, "Ah Huan, just focus on the sect affairs. I will go to the library to see Ah Xian's good disciple."

Lan Xichen reluctantly let go of Zimu and said, “Okay, Madam, go now.”

Zimu left the study, went back to the cold room to pack the remaining snacks and went to the library.

Along the way, she thought about Xue Yang's naughty appearance, feeling both amused and helpless.

Arriving at the library, Zimu saw Xue Yang copying the family rules with a reluctant look on his face. His little face was wrinkled and the pen in his hand moved slowly on the paper, as if writing every word was very difficult.

When Xue Yang heard the door of the library being pushed open again, he said without even raising his head: "Old Man Wen, you must be old and have forgotten something, right?" His tone was full of dissatisfaction and complaints.

Zimu walked a few steps towards Xue Yang and whispered, "I came to see what the kid who sold himself for candy was doing. I didn't expect him to be copying the house rules."

Xue Yang looked up and saw Zimu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he lowered his head and muttered, "Aunt Zimu, I know I was wrong."

There was a hint of guilt in Xue Yang's voice, and he obviously regretted his actions a little bit.

Zi Mu looked at Xue Yang and said gently, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Don't be so reckless in the future. Don't trust Sect Master Wen's words easily, understand?"

Xue Yang nodded and said, "I understand. I won't be so stupid again. This is Cloud Recesses. What Old Man Wen says doesn't count at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to copy the Lan Clan's family rules."

Zi Mu looked at Xue Yang's angry face and smiled helplessly: "It's good that you know. I brought you some snacks."

Xue Yang immediately perked up when he heard there was something delicious to eat, and asked, "Did Aunt Zimu make this herself?"

Zimu nodded: "Yes, I made it myself."

"Oh my," Xue Yang said happily, "Aunt Zimu brought me some snacks, Zewu Jun won't be angry, right?"

There was a hint of teasing and mischief in Xue Yang's tone.

Zimu raised his eyebrows, and after hearing Xue Yang's tea-scented words, he spoke: "Zewu Jun won't be angry, because Zewu Jun has already eaten."

Her eyes were full of confidence and calmness.

"Oh, okay then." Xue Yang opened the lunch box by himself. The moment the snack appeared in front of him, the sweet smell rushed straight into Xue Yang's nostrils.

A happy smile appeared on his face, as if he had forgotten all his troubles.

"Little foreigner, who did you learn those words about tea?" Zimu's eyes were filled with curiosity and confusion.

"Wei Wuxian." Xue Yang answered without hesitation.

After all, every time Wei Wuxian wanted to do something, as long as Lan Wangji was unwilling, Wei Wuxian would speak to Lan Wangji in this tone and words, and in the end Lan Wangji would always compromise.

"......" Zi Mu said speechlessly: "Can't you learn something good?" Her tone was full of helplessness and blame.

"Wei Wuxian is unreliable except for his cultivation and refining, what else can I learn?" Xue Yang's tone was full of ridicule.

"Call Master."

"Well, even though he's unreliable, in my heart Wei Wuxian is also a good master." Xue Yang's tone was filled with helplessness and compromise.

"Okay, stop joking and start copying. After you finish copying, I'll let you leave the Cloud Deep Unknown Place during your next day off."

"Really?" Xue Yang's eyes were filled with surprise and excitement.

"Have I ever lied to you?" Zimu's eyes were full of confidence and determination.

"Long live Aunt Zimu." Xue Yang laughed happily and said, "Okay, I will definitely copy the family rules carefully."

"Not bad, very well behaved." Zimu nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Write the house rules forty times and send them to me for my personal review. Little foreign boy, what Wen Ruohan copied for you doesn't count."

"Ah?" After a moment of confusion, Xue Yang frowned and said angrily: "Old Man Wen betrayed me, I want to report him..."

Zi Mu continued to add fuel to the fire, "Don't worry, little foreign boy, I will report it for you. Isn't Wen Ruohan bullying us Yunmeng because we have fewer people?"

Xue Yang took out two photo stones from his pocket and stuffed them into Zimu's pockets: "Aunt Zimu, please help me give them to Mr. Lan. I want Mr. Lan to see the true face of old man Wen."

"it is good."
