Xue Yan opened the letter and lied, “Yup, it’s his handwriting.”
In reality, this letter was actually written by Qi Yin.
Thankfully, there was no way that Xue Erfu could double-check if it was really written by Mister Zhang. When he heard Xue Yan say that it was Mister Zhangs handwriting, he naturally believed it and immediately welcomed them with open arms. He hurriedly smiled and said, “My name is Xue Erfu, and that’s my brother, Xue Yifu. This is Xue Yan and Jiang Yue. Theyll be learning martial arts from you in the future. Jiang Yue is a little young, but she said she wanted to learn from you too. Don’t worry, when she’s bored, she’ll go play at the corner. You won’t have to worry about her.”
Shao Zhongxi only nodded.
Xue Erfu truly felt that Master Gu was too stoic, but he seemed to be very skilled. Moreover, he was recommended by Mister Zhang, so he must be a reliable teacher. Xue Erfu was naturally quite happy, thinking that Xue Yan would be in proper care.
“Master Gu, nice to meet you. I’m Xue Yan.” Like usual, Xue Yan cupped his hands and gave a proper bow.
He didn’t want Yifu and Erfu to feel that something was wrong.
Jiang Yue also cooperated and raised her small face. She shouted, “Master Gu!”
Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu saw that the carriage had a coachman and did not need their help. They quickly smiled and said, “The old house has been tidied up. Now that you’re here, you can move in.”
“Thank you.” Shao Zhongxi also cupped his fists, but his expression remained cold.
“No need to thank me.” Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu were quite fl.u.s.tered by the formalities. They didn’t know how to return the favor and just waved their hands.
After chatting for a while more, Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu each took one child’s hand and brought Shao Zhongxi to the old house.
As soon as they entered the village, they met Xiu Lan, who was carrying a basket and planning to go to the vegetable garden to pick some radishes to eat.
The village already knew that Xue Yan wanted to practice martial arts. They also knew that the martial arts master’s name was Gu Jin. However, when they really saw him coming with a carriage full of weapons, Xiu Lan still gasped in shock!
Then, she smiled at Shao Zhongxi. “What a good-looking man!” He then looked at Qi Yin, who was leading the horse behind him, and nodded repeatedly with a kind smile. “Even his wife looks stunning too!” Shao Zhongxi had no reaction when he heard what they said.
Qi Yin, on the other hand, immediately became cautious.
Xue Erfu and Xue Yifu immediately became anxious about the gossip.
“Hey!” Xue Erfu hurriedly pulled the lady to the side and whispered, “That’s not his wife, that’s his maid.’
“His maid?” Xiulan was stunned, she looked at Qi Yin and Shao Zhongxi, then looked at Xue Erfu. “Are you lying to me? They are clearly together! Look at the way they’re dressed!”
“She’s really his maid! Why would I lie to you about this?” Xue Erfu was speechless. This lady was overreacting. It had been a misunderstanding from the very beginning.
“Really?” Xiulan immediately laughed and said, “Then I should apologize for
saying all that. I won’t say that next time. I promise.”
It was not just Xiulan. After that, every villager they met misunderstood the situation…
Even when they arrived at the old house, Liu Guixia and the others saw it and said, “Master Gu, I’m sorry for my incompetence. We didn’t know you’d bring your wife here. The room we gave you doesn’t even have a dressing table. We’ll go back and bring one over now.”
“l… I’m his maid…” finally, Qi Yin could not help but speak up. Although she said this with a smile, her heart was filled with bitterness..
