Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Cousin Mu Yun_1

"It was I who asked her to bring you here."

Elderly Mrs. Xiao looked at you steadily, still appearing proud and authoritative, but given how unpleasant this felt, you preferred calling her Elderly Mrs. Xiao.

Your mother had severed ties with her natal family for nearly twenty years, but you still had some understanding of your grandmother’s family.

The Xiao family was a well-established old-brand family in Yenjing; they were a traditional matriarchal society. In their family, all the children took their mother’s surname, and women controlled everything, whereas most men married into the family.

In such a family where women dominated and men declined, it was natural for a domineering woman to develop an arrogant and egotistical temperament, and Elderly Mrs. Xiao was one of them.

You kept silent, not bothering to talk to her.

"What’s the matter, just standing there, not willing to say a word to an old lady like me?" Elderly Mrs. Xiao suddenly said.

"Thirsty, don’t feel like talking."

"You child, how can you speak to your grandmother like that?"

Your mother made as if to hit someone, and Elderly Mrs. Xiao let out a cold laugh, "Forget it, soon enough you’ll be a Xiao family member. I came here to see you, and also..."

"What the heck?" you immediately interrupted Elderly Mrs. Xiao, "What do you mean I’ll soon be a Xiao family member? My surname is Li, what the hell does that have to do with the Xiao family!?"

"Li Muyun! Mind your manners!"

Seeing that your mother was truly angry, you pulled back your neck and changed the defiant expression you had just worn, smilingly said to Elderly Mrs. Xiao, "Elderly Mrs. Xiao, what did you mean by what you just said?"

"What? Your mom didn’t explain it to you when she came?"

"No, my mom only praised me, saying how her son has become even more handsome, smart, agile, and imposing, nothing else."

Elderly Mrs. Xiao looked at your mother, who slightly lowered her head, obviously hiding something from you.

But your mother wasn’t a pushover either. She immediately lifted her head and said to Elderly Mrs. Xiao, whom she had feared since childhood, "Mother, although Muyun is my son, I cannot decide his life for him. Bringing him here was to let him make his own decision."

"Make his own decision? Humph, when a person is faced with the threat of death, the only thing he can do is save himself!" Elderly Mrs. Xiao turned to you and said, "Brat, let me tell you the truth, if it wasn’t for Ying’er kowtowing to me, I wouldn’t have considered letting Mei’er marry you. But remember, when you marry Mei’er, that’s when you will be marrying into our Xiao family."

"Hold on!" you suddenly spoke up, scratching your head, "Let me get this straight. Elderly Mrs. Xiao, you’re saying my mom came all the way from Yuhang to Yenjing and kowtowed in front of you, just to have me marry into your Xiao family?"

"That’s right!" Elderly Mrs. Xiao glared, asking, "What, you’re not willing?"

"Ah, no shit!" you pointed at your head, "Do I look like the type whose brain has been kicked by a donkey? Instead of being a proper man, I should run off to Yenjing and enter into your weird Xiao family, even as a son-in-law, pah! And who the hell cares about some Mei’er, even if you offered me a dozen, I wouldn’t be interested!"

"Humph, hmph hmph, so you mean to say you’d rather have your curse strike, ending your prime at twenty, than marry into the Xiao family?"

"Heh..."

You couldn’t be bothered to waste words.

"You’ve got guts, somebody show the guest out!"

At this moment, two sexy cheongsam-clad beauties stepped inside the door and made a "please" gesture towards you.

"Mom, let’s go. This place isn’t meant for poor folks like us."

With that, you shoved your hands into your pockets, whistled softly, and sauntered out, shaking your head.

Your mother gave a bow to Elderly Mrs. Xiao and then followed your lead.

"Son, you were pretty bold just now."

"Of course, do you know who your son is?"

"Really? But that’s my mother, after all!"

"Ouch! Mom, easy! My ear’s coming off, it’s coming off!"

As the voices of you and your mother gradually faded away, the presidential suite returned to its peace.

The long-haired beauty who hadn’t glanced over from the beginning gave a curtsey to Elderly Mrs. Xiao, revealing her pearl-like teeth with a sweet smile, "Grandma, you really hit the nail on the head. Cousin Mu Yun is quite interesting."

"Hmph, just like his deadbeat father!" Elderly Mrs. Xiao snorted coldly, "If his father hadn’t been so stubborn back then and had listened to me to marry into the Xiao Family, I could have delayed his curse from occurring for another forty years. Ying’er wouldn’t have become a widow so soon!"

"But Grandma, doesn’t that mean Cousin Mu Yun will really die at twenty?" The long-haired beauty blinked her charming, seductive eyes, her every move exuding a captivating charm.

Elderly Mrs. Xiao let out a soft sigh, "I don’t know. The Old Li Family has only this one heir. If he’s gone, the authentic Taoist bloodline of the Li Tang will be cut off as well."

"Grandma, you always say that the authentic Taoist bloodline is from the Li Tang, but in these thousand years, haven’t they produced any formidable Heavenly Masters? Although Cousin Mu Yun can use the Five Elements Spell Art, his foundation is very shallow; he’s not even a match for me."

Hearing this, Elderly Mrs. Xiao chuckled, "You girl, you just met him for the first time and already you’re trying to pry into that boy’s secrets from me?"

"Hehe, you saw right through me, Grandma." The long-haired beauty stuck out her tongue cutely, showing her adorable side, "Come on, Grandma, tell me."

The long-haired beauty gently shook the wheelchair, acting spoiled like a child.

"Alright, alright, Grandma will tell you."

Elderly Mrs. Xiao lovingly patted the long-haired beauty’s delicate hand, her eyes full of gentleness.

If you were there at the time, you would not believe your eyes. The Xiao family head, who had just acted so haughtily, as if she was the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Western Palace, now showed a tender and compassionate side.

"This subject is quite profound. I’m old and can only pick the simple parts to talk about." Elderly Mrs. Xiao seemed to be lost in memories, "As everyone knows, Li Shimin revered Laozi and Li’er as his ancestors. During the Tang Dynasty, Taoism reached its peak, with the likes of Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang being quite prominent."

"But wasn’t Xuan Zang just back from his journey to the west at that time? The Buddhist practice should have been quite popular then, right?" The long-haired beauty fluttered her seductive eyes, expressing a hint of doubt.

"You’ve read too much ’Journey to the West,’ haven’t you?"

"Hehe, that’s what everyone thinks."

"’Journey to the West’ was written by someone from the Ming Dynasty, what would they know?" Elderly Mrs. Xiao said with a smile, "Since the beginning of the Li Tang with Li Yuan, both Li Shimin and Li Zhi were extraordinary talents. It’s just a pity that the Li family members always had fatal entanglements with women."

"Women?"

People love gossip, especially girls. Upon hearing this topic, the long-haired beauty’s fox-like eyes instantly sparkled with interest as she eagerly asked, "Grandma, tell me about the women of Li Shimin and Li Zhi."
