"This...this is actually a misunderstanding."

Seeing that the old man's anger continued to escalate, Bai Qiyun quickly explained.

There is no other way. If he doesn't explain it, he will soon become an 'unworthy descendant'.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding is there? It's all written in black and white, and they even sent it to me through official channels. Could it be a liar?"

The old man slapped the table again angrily, almost causing a crack in the original wooden tabletop.

"This...it's not that they are lying, no, it can't be said..."

Bai Qiyun felt that he was now unable to argue.

But he couldn't say that the Lawrence family was lying, after all, it was he and Yula who deceived people first.

But didn't that guy say he would handle the follow-up? Why did the engagement letter come to Liyue Port?

When this matter is placed in front of both parents, it is not something that can be decided entirely by two people.

This also involves the face of each other's families, especially families like the Bai family or the Lawrence family that have existed for thousands of years, especially when the newcomers on both sides are still the heirs of the next generation of family heads.

Even though the Laurence family is a rotten egg in Mondstadt and is annoying to everyone, they still had trade and diplomatic relations with the other six countries during the hundreds of years they were in charge of Mondstadt. Now they have related industries all over the world.

But because Mondstadt's family was in dire straits, they basically had less contact.

That's why the Lawrence family seemed to be living in such a miserable state, and even the servants had to be dismissed at one point.

But if the Lawrence family marries the Bai family, that's a different story.

With the Bai family's financial resources and influence in Liyue, they can instantly influence the other six countries and integrate the scattered Lawrence family.

At that time, a family that has been separated for thousands of years will reunite, which will definitely be a new wave of shock for Mondstadt.

This kind of thing can be seen even by an old man who is not familiar with the world and only focuses on the kitchen.

As the current head of the Bai family, although the old man does not have great wisdom, he still knows how to distinguish the current situation.

It is his personal choice not to participate in politics, but the fact that his family's ideals are on his shoulders forces him to have a general understanding of these things.

But because of Ningguang in recent years, he is too lazy to continue to worry about it.

Perhaps when Ning Guang was running for Seven Stars back then, he had the intention of sharing the pressure for his grandfather.

With no other choice, Bai Qiyun had to tell the old man everything he had experienced in Mondstadt.

After hearing this, the old man's anger obviously subsided partially, but not completely.

"You actually lied to someone else's parents with that girl. What are you doing? Now that the engagement letter is thrown in my old face, tell me what to do."

The old man picked up the marriage contract and fanned the paper with a look of hatred on his face, making a 'click-click-click' sound.

That's right, this matter is now a big deal on the surface.

If this matter is brought up, it will undoubtedly be the families of both parties who will be embarrassed and suffer the consequences.

This is absolutely unacceptable to the old aristocrats who value face more than life.

But if you don't open it up and refuse directly in the name of the family, it will be equivalent to a direct slap in the face of the other party, and it will also disgrace the Lawrence family's face.

It's not a big problem for the Bai family itself, but if Bai Qiyun wants to go to Mondstadt in the future, he will have to be more careful.

The best thing is to stay away from each other forever.

After much thought, the old man felt that this marriage document was a hot potato.

He looked at the troubled grandson in front of him with subtle eyes and asked in an uncertain tone.

"What do you think...that girl?"

"ah?"

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun's brain instantly became a mess.

What, are you asking him to do it for real?

Bai Qiyun immediately said dumbfounded.

"Grandpa, please stop making trouble. How can I alone have the final say on this kind of thing? If I take ten thousand steps back, even if I agree, can others agree?"

"It's not your coward's fault!"

The old man immediately slapped the marriage certificate on the table, and his white beard was trembling back and forth on his face like a tiger's beard.

He hangs out all day long, he's grown up and he doesn't even have a girlfriend.

There were a bunch of girls inside and outside the house. He thought that either the child named Shen He or the little girl named Mona would be suitable. If it didn't work out, it wouldn't be impossible for him to talk to Ningguang Beidou.

It's okay now. If something like this happens outside, where will his old face be shown if this is revealed?

"Anyway, I don't care about your bad things, but remember, no matter what, don't let the girl's reputation be damaged."

The old man was too lazy to chat with Bai Qiyun, but before leaving, he repeatedly asked not to harm other people's girls.

Bai Qiyun naturally didn't dare not agree, as long as he could deal with the old man.

After the old man's figure disappeared at the corner of the street, Bai Qiyun suddenly relaxed.

What is this called?

Mona, who was the observer of the whole process, looked at Bai Qiyun. She quickly picked up the notebook in her hand and started writing and drawing, pretending to be completely unaware.

"..."

Because he was seen doing something disgraceful, Bai Qiyun also felt guilty.

The two people passed each other knowingly.

Of course, he took away the engagement letter left by the old man.

If he hadn't just come back from Mondstadt, Bai Qiyun would have had a good chat with Youra.

I obviously only confirmed it before leaving, so why did this happen suddenly.

————

On the second floor, Ying and Paimeng sneaked back into the room after being discovered by Bai Qiyun, not daring to show up again.

Even the voice of the old man scolding the young man downstairs reached their ears. Ying and Paimon still suppressed their curiosity and did not continue to gossip.

After all, if you are caught gossiping twice, it will definitely be very embarrassing the next day.

Shen He took Ying to the guest room closest to the bedrooms of several people. This was a room specially prepared to welcome visitors.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the past, Hutao Xiangling and the others came here late to play, and they would stay here when they were too lazy to go back.

As for Ning Guang and Beidou, their rooms are fixed, not guest rooms.

Ying looked around. Although the room was not big, it was unusually reassuring and full of life.

Tables, chairs, benches, beds and other daily necessities are all available.

"This is your room. The bathroom and toilet are at the end of the corridor. Of course, if someone is using it, please wait for a while. If you need anything else, just tell me directly."

"No need, it's already good."

Ying looked at Shen He's blue-gray eyes in front of him, his expression subtle.

It seems that since she entered the inn, all the service staff in this store are women.

This is really...

Ying frowned slightly, but couldn't say anything.

After all, this is someone else's house, and it's their own business what waiters they hire.

As Shen He closed the door, the room returned to silence again.

Ying rubbed his temples, and a burst of lightning flashed across his body, directly eliminating the dust that had fallen on his body.

She was not very used to bathing naked in places other than the castle tower.

"Um?"

Suddenly, the sound from the bathroom next door reached her ears, making Ying's heart skip a beat.

Is someone taking a shower?

This idea flooded into her mind, and she had several associations in an instant.

Hmm... It seems like taking a bath here wouldn't be a bad thing?

But it was really hard for her to accept the fact that she was taking off her clothes and bathing outside.

But for the sake of the scene in his imagination, Ying gritted his teeth.

I didn’t go across the ocean just to have some desserts.

In desperation, she awakened another personality in her body.

"General, I'll leave it to you later."

"Um?"

General Thunder and Lightning, who had just taken over his body, didn't understand what was going on. He could only follow Kage's instructions and sit in the room, waiting for the people in the bathroom next door to finish washing up.
