Chapter 656: Chapter 324 Little Squirrel_2

Qian Yixiu forcefully withdrew her hand and strode forward, softly saying, "Worst comes to worst, I just won’t get married."

"How can that be?" Liang Jinzhao followed behind her and said, "Not getting married is even worse than marrying me. I’m excellent in all aspects, it’s very hard to find a man like me in the Great Qian Kingdom. If you miss out on me, you’ll regret it for your entire life."

Qian Yixiu burst into laughter and said, "I’ve just realized, General Liang’s skin is really thick."

Liang Jinzhao also laughed, watching the beautiful figure ahead, he felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. That morning, as soon as he had opened his eyes and saw the girl he longed for sleeping not far away, he was thrilled. If it weren’t for Master Wuming already being awake, he really would have liked to get closer, to carefully, to properly look at her. It would have been even better if he could touch her little face...

While he was lost in thought, Qian Yixiu had walked several steps further away.

He hurriedly caught up and said, "Yixiu, are you still worried about my mother? Don’t worry, my mother’s attitude has softened a lot now, not as strongly opposed as before." His voice then lowered, "My mother is really pitiable. She has previously displeased my great-grandma, grandpa, and my dad, and in the future, when her family is in trouble, her path will be even more difficult..."

They came to a huge rock halfway up the mountain. Liang Jinzhao climbed up first and then reached out his hand to pull Qian Yixiu up. Standing on the rock, they could see the entire valley below them.

Beneath the blue sky, the winding Cave Sky Pool was like a blue ribbon fluttering at the bottom of the valley, gently trembling in the breeze. The peach groves were lush with greenery, that shade of green fresher and more tender than the green of early spring outside the mountains. The surrounding valleys, except for the peaks, were covered in a thick green...

Liang Jinzhao took out a handkerchief and spread it on the rock, letting Qian Yixiu sit down, then he sat beside her and continued, "Prince Ning is from a military background, his temperament is much more resilient than the current Emperor. The current Emperor wants to be a benevolent and illustrious ruler, disfavors aristocratic families, but he only suppresses and purges them. He lets them fade away from the power circles of the Imperial Court with time, even distancing them from the political fields. But Prince Ning wouldn’t be so soft-hearted. His methods will be much more direct. Especially since they killed Princess Ning, once Prince Ning comes to power, he will not let go of the Fifth Prince and those families. Perhaps, in a few months, the Capital City will run red with blood, not that of the common people, but theirs... Actually, my grandma was very kind to me and my mother. When I was young and unwell, she cried many times and sent people everywhere to find good medicine for me. It’s just that my grandpa and uncles, they couldn’t see the situation clearly, always hoping to ride on the Fifth Prince’s coattails to restore our family’s honor. Before they completely ruined their relationship with my family, I advised them many times, but they simply wouldn’t listen. My mother being such a proud person, I can’t even imagine, once she becomes the daughter of a convicted official, how she will face the life ahead..."

After listening to Liang Jinzhao’s words, Qian Yixiu thought of Pan Yuanfeng. Although her encounters with Pan Yuanfeng were few, she didn’t want her to be beheaded or sent to the Education Bureau, eventually becoming a military or official prostitute. She only hoped that Grandpa Beauty could persuade her to divorce her husband quickly...

She turned her head and saw Liang Jinzhao frowning slightly, pursing his lips. She then offered some comfort, "The victors be kings, the vanquished be bandits. If they had succeeded in supporting the Fifth Prince, then we... erm, I mean my family, would have suffered the same fate. Since they have decided to take sides in the struggle for succession, they must have prepared for failure. For power, they disregard their wives and children, that is their choice. You’ve advised them, which counts as doing your part, they can’t blame you for not listening..."

As they talked, the sun gradually set in the west. Reflecting off Cave Sky Pool in the light of the setting sun, countless flecks of gold danced on the water, dazzling to the eyes.

The sunset here was particularly brilliant, casting a thick golden glow over everything. Especially shining on the Nameless Monk’s bald head, making it look like a copper mirror. The mirror reflected light, constantly shifting, like a hardworking large honeybee.

After hearing Qian Yixiu’s description, Liang Jinzhao smiled as well. The heaviness in his heart lightened somewhat.

The two descended the rock and headed down the mountain. Qian Yixiu had one hand around the little squirrel, the other was tightly held by him, and she couldn’t shake it free even if she tried.

At night, Monkey Brother still hadn’t returned. Qian Yixiu was so angry she gritted her teeth, thinking to herself that when it came back she would see how she’d deal with it, at the very least it would get its ears twisted a few times.
