Don't Know If It's Enough?

Before long, the two people arrived at an exquisite Side Courtyard. The Main Courtyard had been torn apart by Qin Guan last night, so Nan Yunqi and the others had moved here.

At this moment, the family of three was having breakfast. When they saw Qin Guan pulling Nan Rou inside, all three froze.

Yang Hongmei in particular pointed at Qin Guan, her mouth opening and closing as she momentarily did not know what to say. They had searched all night, yet this piece of trash had actually dared to deliver himself to their door?

"Good morning, Uncle, Aunt. Why didn't you call us to eat?" Qin Guan grinned and greeted them.

Nan Rou hurriedly stepped in front of Qin Guan. "Rou'er greets Father and Mother!"

Yang Hongmei ignored Nan Rou outright and pointed at Qin Guan. "You good-for-nothing! Guards!"

As soon as she spoke, four guards charged inside.

"Stand down!" Nan Yunqi suddenly barked at the four guards.

The four guards hesitated slightly before withdrawing.

"Master, what are you doing? This trash killed Hu Liu. Why not seize him?" Yang Hongmei looked at Nan Yunqi angrily.

Before Nan Yunqi could speak, Qin Guan suddenly snorted. "Shouldn't a dog that dares bite its master be killed?"

"What do you mean by that?" Nan Yunqi frowned.

Qin Guan looked at Nan Yunqi. "In weather this cold, Hu Liu deliberately refused to give Nan Rou charcoal to keep warm and nearly froze her to death. He even insulted her verbally. Uncle, do you think he deserved to die?"

Nan Yunqi's expression turned ugly. He looked at Yang Hongmei. He actually knew something about many of these matters, but he had never expected Yang Hongmei to go so far.

"Trash, what nonsense are you spouting? When did Hu Liu ever skimp on Rou'er's living supplies? Which of the things she was supposed to receive wasn't the very best?" Yang Hongmei said without even flushing.

At that moment, Nan Rou suddenly spoke. Her voice was soft, yet it carried a trace of reproach:

"I do not care whether there is more or less, but I ask Mother not to call Guan Brother trash every other word."

"This is outrageous, utterly outrageous! Master, look at this fine daughter you raised. She already dares speak to me like this now—she has no respect for her elders at all!"

Yang Hongmei was stunned at first. Nan Rou, who was usually like a quail, actually dared to speak to her with such barbed insinuations today. A vicious glint flashed in her eyes. That little bitch must be tired of living!

"Mother, say less. In a few days, it will be Sister and Qin Guan's joyous wedding day. We should bless them and properly prepare their wedding. That is the important matter."

Nan Qiao, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. So long as Qin Guan agreed to be with Nan Rou and stopped pestering her, that was enough.

"Qiao'er is right. We will all be family from now on. A family should live in harmony!" Nan Yunqi nodded.

The Nan Family still relied on support from Yang Hongmei's Yang Family. To be honest, he was helpless about many things and could only turn a blind eye.

Hearing this, Yang Hongmei wanted to speak but stopped herself, suppressing her anger. Naturally, she understood Nan Qiao's meaning. Hu Liu was nothing compared to her own daughter's reputation. As for this grievance, there would be plenty of chances to vent it after the two people married.

"Go fetch two sets of bowls and chopsticks!"

Nan Yunqi instructed the maid at the door, then smiled at Nan Rou. "Rou'er, your complexion is much better today. There is even color in your face."

Nan Rou said happily, "Father, I haven't told you yet—Guan Brother cured my Cold Poison. I'm already well now!"

"What!"

Upon hearing Nan Rou's words, Nan Yunqi abruptly stood up. He hurriedly placed his fingers on Nan Rou's wrist to check her pulse. A moment later, he was both shocked and delighted. "Haha, it really is gone! That terrifying Cold Poison is truly gone!"

"Young Hero Qin, please accept a bow from this old man!"

Nan Yunqi's eyes turned flushed as he suddenly gave Qin Guan a deep bow.

Nan Rou had lost her mother when she was young. Truthfully, he had been a terrible father and was filled with guilt toward Nan Rou. Now that he saw his daughter healed, he was grateful to Qin Guan from the bottom of his heart.

Yang Hongmei and Nan Qiao, standing to the side, were also immensely shocked when they learned that Qin Guan had cured Nan Rou's Cold Poison.

So Much Cold Poison that so many capable people and extraordinary experts had been unable to cure had actually been healed by this trash?

"Father-in-law bowing to his son-in-law—this is a courtesy I cannot bear to accept!" Qin Guan helped Nan Yunqi up and joked.

Hearing Qin Guan's words, Nan Yunqi's face darkened. He hurriedly straightened up and puffed out his chest.

Nan Rou covered her mouth and giggled beside them.

"Hmph, pathetic!"

Yang Hongmei snorted, rose, and left. She would rather be beaten to death than sit at the same table and eat with those two.

"Father, I'm going to cultivate!" Nan Qiao also rose and took her leave.

After the mother and daughter left, Nan Yunqi could not help sighing. "Rou'er, Father has wronged you all these years."

"Father, you need not take it to heart. Your daughter understands," Nan Rou said softly. This Stepmother had always suppressed Father by relying on the Nan Family's need for support from the Yang Family. She understood it in her heart.

"Let's not speak of this. Hurry and sit down to eat." Nan Yunqi smiled.

The three sat down. Nan Yunqi looked at Qin Guan. "Did you truly kill Hu Liu?"

"Mm." Qin Guan nodded.

"You are a Martial Cultivator?" Nan Yunqi asked again. Yesterday, he had heard the servants report that Qin Guan was a Second Realm Martial Cultivator.

"Mm." Qin Guan nodded.

"To reach the Second Realm at such a young age is already quite rare." Nan Yunqi praised him.

Martial Cultivators were born without a Dantian and could not gather Spiritual Energy to cultivate. They could only raise their realm through arduous training.
