Chapter 305: Chapter 305: The Xiahou Family Needs Intelligent People

"Great-Grandpa, so she’s not some maid but actually my little aunt?"

As the vehicle left the side courtyard, Xiahou Jingmu was driving the jeep, with Xiahou Yi sitting in the back.

He hesitated for a moment before asking.

Hearing this, Xiahou Yi stared at the back of his head, and after a long while, he nodded, his old face still grim.

Xiahou Jingmu saw this and his eyes lit up for a moment.

"Then how come she looks like this? I remember looking at her file before; she didn’t look like this."

"She disguised herself," said Xiahou Yi, clearly impatient.

He really didn’t want to talk about that woman. Every time he did, his anger surged!

She had no upbringing at all. Didn’t she know her own status? Who told her she could be so presumptuous in front of her father-in-law?

Xiahou Yi’s face turned ashen as he looked outside.

"So that’s how it is. Are you still going to keep her in the Royal Mansion? She’s so disrespectful to you. Why not just let her go back to Jiangbei?"

Xiahou Jingmu, who was also very observant, saw from the rearview mirror that the old man was still fuming.

He couldn’t help but ask with a suppressed smile.

However, he heard the sound of even more labored breathing from behind just as his words fell.

"Do you think I don’t want to?"

"..."

Xiahou Jingmu was suddenly at a loss for words.

Because, for so many years, this was the first time he had seen the old man gnashing his teeth in anger.

But, within a few minutes, the old man had calmed down again.

"However, it’s a good thing that she stays. The Xiahou Family hasn’t had such a clever woman for a long time. At this critical moment, not only are those useless members of the Xiahou Family stirring up trouble again, but those from outside are certainly getting restless, too. Having a sharp-witted person joining the Xiahou Family is all to our advantage!"

Unexpectedly, after quelling his rage, he even expressed his satisfaction with Yin Hehe remaining.

Hearing this from up front, Xiahou Jingmu immediately stated, "Great-Grandpa, our family is absolutely loyal."

"I know," Xiahou Yi nodded.

"Otherwise, I wouldn’t have laid out this path for you. I’m worried about your third granduncle and your eldest uncle and his wife, truly a pair of idiots!"

Xiahou Yi actually spilled his most genuine thoughts in front of his grandnephew.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jingmu felt deeply moved.

Indeed, he had always been dearly favored by the head of the Xiahou Family. Since he was a child, smart and filial during the old man’s birthday celebrations, the old man had been particularly good to him. Over the years, he arranged for him to go to school, join the military...

And now, his sitting in this position was inseparable from the old man’s robust support and cultivation.

So much so that it had aroused the jealousy of many in the family, including his biological son, Xiahou Maolin, who had shown him serious discontent, thinking that Xiahou Jingmu might usurp the heir’s status from his two sons.

Therefore, he was truly grateful to the old man.

"Don’t worry, Great-Grandpa, I will keep an eye on third granduncle’s side, and as for my eldest uncle, he’s now half-paralyzed and shouldn’t make you angry anymore. I will also have someone keep watch over him," said Xiahou Jingmu, promptly taking all these responsibilities upon himself to relieve the old man’s worries.

Xiahou Yi nodded in satisfaction from behind.

--

Xiahou Royal Mansion.

When Yin Hehe returned here, she noticed that the mansion, which had been quite tranquil and elegant on her last visit, was now shrouded in a sense of urgency, and even the number of servants and guards seemed to have increased.

"Xiaoyin, you’ll stay in the same courtyard as the young master," said the old butler, leading her to a courtyard and pointing to a side room that had already been tidied up for her.

Upon hearing that she could live with her husband, Yin Hehe was, of course, very pleased.

"Alright, then I’ll go and find him."

"No need, the old general has found several traditional Chinese medicine doctors and is currently seeing to him. He’ll be sent here shortly."

The butler intervened.

They actually called for traditional Chinese medicine doctors?

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe’s dissatisfaction with the old man lessened somewhat.

Look, he still has a bit of a conscience.

Yin Hehe went inside and found that the courtyard environment was quite nice, though it was located a bit towards the back, which pleased her even more.

"Thank you, Uncle Butler, for arranging this place for us."

"No need to be polite!" The old butler smiled.

"However, you still need to be careful and hide your own identity well. There will probably be a lot of people coming to the mansion soon."

The butler spoke with a worried expression.

Yin Hehe frowned slightly.

Being sharp as a tack, she naturally guessed the meaning behind his words. A lot of people coming to visit likely meant they were here to investigate the authenticity of Xiahou Yi’s illegitimate son.

After all, Xiahou Yi had kept him hidden for so long, and suddenly there was news that he had become foolish; everyone would want to come and see for themselves.

"Who will be coming over? Will there possibly be people who have seen Ayuan?"

"Not sure!" Upon hearing this, the old butler’s face grew even more worried.

Yin Hehe could see it, and her brows further furrowed.

It seemed that she would have to make some changes to this man as well; otherwise, if someone recognized him as the president of Shengshi Group, things would become complicated.

Yin Hehe brought the man back.

"Honey, let’s go out for a stroll. How about getting a haircut?"

She coaxed him with a smile in front of him.

The man had just returned and was actually throwing a bit of a tantrum. He hadn’t seen her for so long, she didn’t cook for him, didn’t play with him, and just tossed him aside with the old man...

"Hmph!"

He snorted, looking just like a child and ran off to a corner, refusing to look at her.

Yin Hehe was caught between laughter and tears.

"What’s wrong? Are you angry? Or are you hungry? Don’t worry, I’ve already made you something delicious. I’ll bring it to you right now."

Then, Yin Hehe brought over red bean cake she had already prepared.

Sure enough, as soon as she set it down in front of him, his eyes lit up.

He truly loved sweets.

In the past, when he was in his right mind, he might have restrained himself for the sake of face, but now he really let himself go and enjoyed eating.

Watching him devour the food like a starving beast, Yin Hehe did not interrupt but walked into her chamber and brought out her disguise kit, standing in front of this man.

"Honey, look, let’s put on some makeup and go eat something even better outside."

"Mm!" Without any hesitation, the man agreed, as if injected with chicken blood.

Half an hour later, when Yin Hehe, accompanied by the man whose appearance had been changed, appeared before Xiahou Yi, Xiahou Yi jumped in fright.

"Who is he?"

"The old general can’t recognize him?" She smiled somewhat proudly.

Only then did Xiahou Yi realize and suddenly, looking at the unfamiliar face, he was both angry and annoyed, "What are you doing? Why have you done this to him?"

Yin Hehe: "I heard from Uncle Butler that many people would be coming over soon. I don’t want them to recognize my husband, so I’m planning to take him out today for a makeover."

"..."
