Okay, young mistress, will do!

It looks like we will have fruits soon enough!

In the morning shortly after daybreak, Cheng Xiao Xiao was kicked away by her sisters little Lan Lans little feet. When she woke up, she could already hear noises from the outside. She knew those were her fathers disciples by name cultivating.

Cheng Xiao Xiao carefully pulled the blanket over her sister before she got up, washed up, and went to help her mother one some household matters. As for breakfast and what not, there were others to take care of those. They didnt need to worry about them anymore. After a busy morning and everybody had breakfast and back to work. Innkeeper Zhu was teaching the servants and maids the proper way to greet guests.

Cheng Xiao Xiao didnt leave the house but casually picked up some notes to read. Her mother Mrs. Cheng walked in from the outside and quietly handed her a letter to read.

Mom, whos the letter for? Cheng Xiao Xiao was surprised.

Mrs. Cheng seemed a bit uneasy and said, Xiao Xiao, you read first, then we will talk about it!

Cheng Xiao Xiao didnt say much more and started reading the letter. This was a letter for her mother. After she had finished reading it, her look was stone-cold. She handed the letter back to her mother and didnt say a word.

Xiao Xiao, do you want to meet her? Mrs. Cheng studied her daughters face cautiously.

Cheng Xiao Xiao felt a slight headache. Of course she knew who her mother was referring to as her. She couldnt help but to ask, Mom, you want to meet her?

Xiao Xiao, I think we should. No matter what, youve had a marriage arrangement when you were kids, now that your Gu da niang send a letter to point that out. Itd be rude of us to just ignore her! Mrs. Cheng expressed her thoughts on the matter.

Ever since they have opened up the pathways to Willow Village, there had been more and more strangers coming to Willow. Or, to be more precise, more and more individuals sending letters to the Chengs. There were never one relative visited previously, now theres a line of people outside delivering letters claiming that they were their fathers brother, fathers sister, mothers sister, husband of a cousin. Just an endless string of relatives.

Most of them they could just ignore. Even Mrs. Cheng wouldnt pay attention to those who tried to claim they were however remotely related. Except for the Gus of the city of Yin. She couldnt not accept their letter. And as soon as she has finished reading it, she went looking for her daughter to discuss.

Mom, I am going to be brutally honest with you. Its best that we dont meet them. Once weve met, you will never be able to get rid of them!

But why would we want to get rid of them? Xiao Xiao, she is going to be your mother-in-law

Wait, mom! Stop! Cheng Xiao Xiao quickly interrupted her mother and said in her most serious tone, Mom, I am not in a hurry. I dont care what kind of family the Gus are. I wont be going. I hope youd understand?

Why? Xiao Xiao, I have met Junxian. Hes not a bad looking kid, he should be a goo.

As she was explaining, Mrs. Cheng saw the indifferently way that her daughter was looking at her and stopped but she added softly, Your dad wont agree to ending this betrothal either.

Well talk about it later!

You are not young any more!

Mom. Cheng Xiao Xiao felt helpless facing her mother, finally she had to remind her, Mom, even you have once gave up everything for your own happiness to be with the one that you love. So why wouldnt you give me that chance too? Was the parents orders or the matchmakers words really that important?

Xiao Xiao, you, you are right!

Mrs. Cheng paused for a second and nodded. She took a look a the letter in her hand and said, Xiao Xiao, if thats the case, we will just ignore this! as she put away the letter in her hand!
