Chapter 1723: Cultivation talent (1)
The sudden cry startled the women in the hall. The aunt held her chest and complained,
“Speak properly, are you trying to scare me to death?”
I … Ji baiqing glanced at her but did not say anything.
The aunt didn’t notice her sister-in-law’s gaze. She looked at Xu Qi ‘an and asked, ”
“Is there a problem?”
Xu lingyue immediately looked at her eldest brother, and her birth mother also looked over.
My woman has become an elder for no reason. Do you think there’s a problem … Xu Qi ‘an laughed drily.
there’s no problem. It’s just that her identity is a little inappropriate.
As soon as he finished speaking, his aunt sighed.
“I already know.”
She had a look of pity on her face.
What do you know … Xu Qi ‘an remained silent and waited for her aunt to say something.
His aunt said, ”
“I know, my sister’s husband offended a cunning, lecherous villain. That villain is someone he can’t afford to offend.
“The villain killed my sister’s husband in front of everyone, causing her to become a widow. You have a deep friendship with her husband and after knowing about this matter, you avenged her and took care of her, inviting her to stay in your residence for a few days.”
Mu nanzhi showed a sad expression in cooperation.
Xu Qi ‘an was stunned. He thought to himself,”don’t tell me I’m that cunning, lecherous, and evil man.”
His aunt continued,
“As the saying goes, there are many quarrels in front of a widow’s door. Elder sister can not live in the residence for no reason, so I became sworn brothers with her. You have to call her aunt mu in the future.”
Her aunt still firmly believed that mu nanzhi and her nephew were innocent.
On the other hand, Xu lingyue thought that aunt mu, whose identity was unknown but was destined to be noble, had secretly fallen in love with her big brother after her husband’s death and wanted to have an affair with him-this was what Xu lingyue had tested herself.
But Xu lingyue also firmly believed that this was aunt MU’s one-sided love.
The flower God won the Xu family’s trust with his ” excellent ” looks.
Mu nanzhi glanced at Xu Qi ‘an and smiled.
“I’m 15 years older than ningyan, so it’s not too much to call me aunt.”
…….. The corners of Xu Qi ‘an’s mouth twitched, and he said with a fake smile, ”
“Aunt mu,”
The flower God nodded in satisfaction.
Ji baiqing looked at him, hesitating to speak.
Xu Qian understood and said indifferently, ”
“I will bring Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai out tomorrow. Auntie, my mother and the two little … I’ll have to trouble you to arrange the residence for the younger generation.”
The Xu Manor originally had a three-entry courtyard. Later, second uncle Xu bought the courtyard next door, broke through the walls, and expanded it to a larger size.
And because of the Xu family’s lack of descendants, empty rooms were everywhere.
However, Xu Qi ‘an’s idea was that her mother could live in the inner courtyard of the Xu mansion, while Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai had to move to the newly bought courtyard next door to make an appropriate division.
Otherwise, if three strangers suddenly moved in, not only would the Xu family feel uncomfortable, Xu yuanshuang and Xu yuanhuai might not feel comfortable either.
Of course, if the three of them wanted to move out, Xu Qi ‘an would not object, but he would not take the initiative to ask them to live outside.
This was what he thought. Ji baiqing’s love for him was genuine. If she hadn’t gone to great lengths to escape back to the capital and give birth to ” Xu Qi ‘an “, he wouldn’t be who he was now.
Therefore, as the eldest son, he would not shirk the responsibility of “supporting” his widowed mother.
Ji baiqing heaved a sigh of relief. Now that Xu Qi ‘an had accepted her, Yuan Shuang and Yuan Huai could still be by her side. She had no regrets.
She did want to live in the Xu estate, but not in a homeless manner. She just did not want to be too far away from the eldest son.
She had missed this son of hers for 21 years. It was not easy for them to reunite, and she was unwilling to let him go so easily.

Feng Qi Palace.
The Empress Dowager was feeling sleepy. She lay on her side on the soft couch and was about to fall asleep.
Squeak~
She heard the sound of the outer door being pushed open, but she did not open her eyes. She frowned and said, ”
“Bengong is tired, do not nag.”
She thought it was a Palace maid who had come in.
The Empress Dowager’s personality was indifferent, and she rarely got angry or happy. When the palace maids and eunuchs in Feng Qi Palace did something wrong, she was too lazy to reprimand them.
As such, it was inevitable that there would be some Palace maids and eunuchs who did not follow the rules.
Creak. The door closed, and the sound of steady and slow footsteps approached.
The Empress Dowager didn’t say anything else. After a few seconds of silence, she slowly opened her eyes.
During this process, her gaze did not directly look at the person. Instead, she first looked at the boots, then at the robe, and finally at the person’s face.
He was like a gambler who had nothing left and was revealing his last card.
She was not disappointed. She saw his handsome features, his slightly frosty sideburns, and his gentle gaze that contained the vicissitudes of life.
The Empress Dowager’s eyes instantly blurred.
The man laughed.
“I’m here. It’s not too late, is it?”
Tears instantly gushed out of her eyes. The Empress Dowager turned her face to the side, letting the tears flow down.
She had been waiting for this sentence for half her life.
