Chapter 1627: Chapter 1449: Epilogue

"Wenxuan, make sure you eat up, it’s good to have a full stomach for the journey," Nan Feng steamed a few more buns especially for Mo Wenxuan as they rarely ate wheat-based foods.

But as soon as Nan Feng mentioned this, both Mo Wenxuan and Ye brother burst into laughter. Mo Wenxuan said, "Little Feng, you’ve been with Ye brother for so long and yet your choice of words has made no progress. What do you mean ’eat up for the road’? Isn’t that what you say to someone on death row?"

"..." Nan Feng blushed with embarrassment, "I misspoke. Just eat up to avoid hunger along the way."

Xia Dabao then asked, "You, a minister, heading out without any guards? What if you run into robbers on the road?"

"..." Mo Wenxuan could only offer a helpless smile.

Couldn’t this mother and daughter pair say something a bit more pleasant?

"With His Majesty’s governance, we are in a time of great peace; there won’t be such incidents," Mo Wenxuan expressed deep respect for the current Emperor.

However, Axian couldn’t help questioning, "But what if something does happen?"

"..." Mo Wenxuan felt he was being picked on by this family.

On that morning, Mo Wenxuan left Peach Blossom Village by carriage. Nan Feng and Ye brother walked with him to the edge of the village, where Mo Wenxuan got down from the carriage once again, this time to address Ye brother, "To be honest, I admire your ability to renounce all the glory, wealth, and power to stay with Feng and grow old here."

Ye brother simply smiled, "It’s my pleasure."

"May you both be together like immortals, until your hair turns white."

"We will!"

Only then did Mo Wenxuan reluctantly leave.

...

After breakfast, Xia Dabao took Axian to cut grass by the riverbank.

The fish fry in the pond had been released earlier and had grown quite a bit, hence the increased need for grass.

While she and Axian were cutting grass, she heard someone calling from not too far away, "Dabao..."

The voice hesitated, but Xia Dabao recognized it—it was Tao Shanding.

Why had he come?

After returning from the town last time, Matchmaker Wang had asked Xia Dabao’s opinion. She suggested to have a look first as she couldn’t decide just yet. Later, Tao Shanding had even sent smoked meat to her home. Xia Dabao found it very awkward and told him not to come again.

"Dabao, I’m not busy today and heard you were cutting grass, so I thought I’d come to see if I could lend a hand," Tao Shanding was very polite and seemed quite courteous.

But Xia Dabao couldn’t shake the feeling that Tao Shanding had something on his mind.

"There’s no need. My brother and I can manage. Involving you in this chore isn’t right," said Xia Dabao.

"It’s no issue at all. I’m a man; cutting grass is easy for me. And you’re a Lady—I hear that squatting too long isn’t good for ladies, could cause dizziness."

"I used to get a bit dizzy if I squatted too long, but not anymore," Xia Dabao declined again.

But Tao Shanding suddenly became despondent, "Dabao, I’ve heard that there’s an old childhood playmate of yours from the Capital City who returned and intends to marry you. Is that why you’ve decided to ignore me?"

He indeed had something on his mind.

Xia Dabao couldn’t help but say, "I won’t marry him."

Tao Shanding brightened up, "So then I..."

Xia Dabao felt a bit embarrassed, "Shanding, maybe it seems like I’m stringing you along, but I genuinely haven’t thought your matter through. Let’s just continue being friends for now. But if you find a Lady you like, you should consider her; you don’t need to wait for me."

"Dabao, I understand if you haven’t made up your mind yet, but as long as you’re not married, doesn’t that mean I still have a chance?"
