Chapter Six: Reunion with the Old Tribal Chief

  "Ziyou Ge said, "Mother, singing such a song isn't very nice to hear... This matter is better left to your father..." Pei Mingxuan's singing was something that even two children wouldn't say, let alone Yuan Shuhuan, who had some expectations about it. However, this kind of thing couldn't be forced, at least not for Yuan Shuhuan."

  "Dad's singing isn't that great either, but he can accompany your mom." Pei Mingxuan couldn't let Yuan Shuhuan have his way this time. It wasn't that Pei Mingxuan was unwilling, it's just that he really felt like he couldn't do it. The difficulty of the task aside, the key point was that he was good at playing the zither but not singing.

  Let yourself play the piano for a few more minutes. Singing is not something Pei Mingxuan is unwilling to do, but really can't do it.

  The first time I heard Yuan Shu Han sing, the voice was indeed very moving. Unfortunately, the content wasn't that great. Otherwise, Pei Ming Xuan would have been able to enjoy it for a while. Such melancholic and detached things don't suit Yuan Shu Han, especially not now that she's already a mother.

  "I think it's better to let Huaxin sing one for us instead of arguing with each other. This girl really likes music and dance." Pei Huaxin has always been fond of melody, so she is also the best in this aspect, more outstanding than other children. However, in other aspects, Pei Huaxin is not that outstanding.

  This girl is still trying to harm herself, let's see who ends up harming whom in the end. Anyway, I'm not afraid of these things now. It just so happens that today is also a beautiful day with good weather.

  "Go back and sing." Pei Hua Xin's small face turned red with a hint of shyness. Such things were indeed quite surprising. It was just unknown whether Father would like to hear her sing. Pei Hua Xin also knew that such skills were considered unrefined by many people. Yuan Shu Huan didn't expect these children to make money to support the family, nor would he have any such requirements...

  Yuan Shu Huan thinks that children don't have to be talented, but they must grow up to be a person. Most people in this world haven't lived out their own unique style. That's why Yuan Shu Huan has such a requirement.

  "It's really cute. Come, Mom will hug you." On the other side, Pei Hua Mo had already been hugged by Pei Ming Xuan. For this child, Pei Ming Xuan always had some special fondness. Probably because it was because of this child that he reunited with Yuan Shu Han again. Although the other children were also equally cute, people still have their own preferences...

  "You're Dà Yā Tóu." A surprised voice appeared beside Yuán Shū Hán's ear. Yuán Shū Hán looked up to see an unexpected person, but one who could still be considered a familiar face.

  "The clan head." No surprise, no joy. Originally just a simple return to worship the ancestors. Didn't expect to run into this person again. Speaking of which, back then there were still many assets left here. Don't know what happened to those things now. Even though Yuan Shu Huan is not lacking in wealth nowadays, this was still the living guarantee left by the second son of the Yuan family for them.

  When I first came here, many things were vivid in my mind. If I hadn't come, what would it be like now? Such assumptions may not exist at present and probably won't exist in the future either. Even if there's only a tiny difference, it can create a distance of thousands of miles later on.

  "Ah, you're back, Young Mistress! I remember those two kids from years ago. Faintly recall that it was the wife of Yuan Jia's second son who gave birth to twins. But then they ran into Yuan Jia's eldest son... almost sold off Big Missy here! Look at how well she's turned out now - truly one in a thousand, and you won't find anyone more outstanding within an eighty-mile radius!"

  The young master following beside him doesn't seem like an ordinary person either. That head of white hair actually reminds the clan leader of someone. But surely it can't be that person, right?

  "Let's go back and take a look. I recently heard that some people are not very peaceful. The clan leader lives in this area, so it's unlikely that they wouldn't know anything about it. Asking the clan leader directly can also save a lot of trouble. It's also good to see how far this matter has blown up. Although I didn't see anyone around here this time, it still made Yuan Shu Han let out a sigh of relief..."

  "There is indeed someone who plans to dig up your parents' grave. But I also knew the situation at your home back then. How could there be anything valuable buried with them? Another thing is that the few mu of thin fields and houses you left behind, because you haven't returned in five years, someone has taken it into their head to do something they shouldn't."

  At first, Yuan Shu's skills were all he had. The clan leader was also a witness to this. This time when Lian'er returned, it was just these things. She definitely wouldn't let the matter drop. Rather than waiting for her to investigate and then speak out, it would be better to take the initiative to confess and clear himself first.

  "Really doesn't know life or death." Yuan Shu Huan originally thought that this matter would be just Dong Qingyuan making a move, but unexpectedly there were also people in the clan who were not at peace. "These things are basically donated to the clan and don't make much of a difference. These people still want to take them for themselves. This is forcing me to take back the things and dispose of them myself."

  Now there are no more books to include. It's absolutely sufficient to have as many people as needed. Managing such a small area is as simple as it gets, and even has a bit of waste in terms of manpower.

  That year, it was because no one could be entrusted that it was put in the clan. Later, when someone appeared, I thought it would be good to give my father some credit for his kindness. Who would have thought that this phrase "heart not enough to swallow an elephant" is really suitable here. Originally, it was given to you for free, but you still wanted to take it as your own. Yuan Shu Han was not a good person from the start. Now, he's even more furious...

  "That's what her father-in-law left for his daughter. Those people really have a big nerve." Just this one point is enough to offset tens of millions. At least, that's how Yuan Shu Huan feels. Those things may not be worth much, but to some people, they're worth more than tens of millions.

  Pei Mingxuan grabbed Yuan Shuhan's hand with his other hand, smiling at him and saying, "These things are no longer just your own affairs now. Although they may not mean much to you and me now, they are the only things left behind by my father-in-law." These things were originally not many, and for two people, they didn't even amount to a hair on nine cows.

  "Ah, you're already married..." Still such an inhuman man. The clan leader had wanted to use words like "demon" or "monster", but found that apart from the white hair on his head, there was nothing about this man that could be associated with those words. What kind of person is he? Clearly having a righteous aura yet having a head of white hair...

  Yu Shu Han had nothing to hide about this matter. He nodded silently and then grasped Pei Ming Xuan's hand tightly. Pei Ming Xuan was always like this, knowing his heart so well that Yu Shu Han didn't know how to react.

  Yuan Shuhan sometimes wants to repay Pei Mingxuan, but finds that there are very few things he can do for him. Sometimes Yuan Shuhan feels guilty. He has to say that compared to Si Kong Zihong, Pei Mingxuan at least made Yuan Shuhan feel guilty. Si Kong Zihong's efforts were no less than Pei Mingxuan's, but they only made Yuan Shuhan feel fear...

  At least Pei Mingxuan can repay him in some way, but for Si Kongzi Hong who doesn't seek any return, Yuan Shuheng can only feel a sense of unease in his heart. Even though they don't actually have much difference, it's all the same to be good to oneself...

  "No wonder you haven't come back for five years. This young master must have treated you well." The clan leader couldn't help but think that Yu Shu Huan was probably the young master's concubine. However, looking at the two of them, she felt that it didn't quite seem like it either. Yu Shu Huan listened to the clan leader's hesitant words, only staring at the embroidered clothes on her body.

  "My wife and I are a proper couple, so naturally I should treat her well." In this regard, Yuan Shu Huan is definitely not as quick-witted as Pei Ming Xuan. Yuan Shu Huan didn't even think of it from this perspective.

  The clan leader's face was filled with awkwardness, clearly infuriated by Pei Mingxuan's ruthless behavior, but also feeling embarrassed about his own groundless speculation. However, thinking about it, he felt that it was only natural to think this way, as this girl had changed so much in just a few years, and anyone would suspect that there was something fishy going on.

  As soon as Pei Mingxuan's words came out, Yuan Shuhuan also understood what it meant. The smile on the face of the clan leader was gone too. The current Yuan Shuhuan is not the girl who used to have to consider others' faces everywhere. Although Yuan Shuhuan had never really looked at anyone's face before. It's already good that Yuan Shuhuan doesn't give others a chance to look at her face.

  "My father would also be unwilling for the girl to become someone else's concubine. But there are a few common sayings in this world that make sense. Isn't it said that a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a mistress, and a mistress is not as good as one who can't be caught? Yuan Shu Han's words were not humorous or witty, but rather carried a hint of annoyance."

  The elder's idea itself is not how orthodox. It's no wonder that Yuan Shu-han doesn't think about how orthodox things are when he does them.

  "Why would there be a need for another when one is enough." Pei Mingxuan didn't care if he met Yuan Shuhan or not, they were all the same, guarding their chastity like jade and keeping away from women. It wasn't even accurate to say that Pei Mingxuan kept his distance from women, it was more like he completely avoided them. Even before, in other people's eyes, Pei Mingxuan was someone who never smiled.

  "Pervert." When did Pei Mingxuan get infected with this kind of disease? Yuan Shuhuan said he really had no idea at all. It should be a harmonious and happy couple, but suddenly Yuan Shuhuan said he couldn't accept it at all, and could only grit his teeth and say two words to express his dissatisfaction.

  "You don't like it, I won't say anything next time." Pei Mingxuan's not speaking up was actually a sign of obedience to Yuan Shuhuan. At least it could be said that he was very accommodating. This doesn't mean that Pei Mingxuan didn't have his own opinions. It was just the way he chose to express them. The exaggerated tone from earlier, rather than being for Yuan Shuhuan's benefit, was more likely for the team leader's sake.

  Pei Mingxuan was just showing off his favoritism, especially towards Yuan Shuhuan. It can also be said that he was trying to establish prestige for Yuan Shuhuan. Even if this wasn't a very necessary thing to do. Yuan Shuhuan seemed to think that as long as things looked good on the surface, that was enough. Pei Mingxuan, however, understood the importance of these matters even more.
