A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles

"What are you looking at? Keep it in check, you’re not married yet!

Otherwise, people will laugh at us!"

Ji Youlin was a straightforward person, and he didn’t understand the implication behind Hu Shi’an’s words at all.

So he hurriedly corrected, "We’ve already had the wedding ceremony!"

He didn’t care, just stubbornly clung to that point.

"I..." Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, all he could think of was his sister’s red-rimmed eyes.

"Who’s your father?"

Ji Youlin got tense instinctively, "Why are you asking about my father?"

"My father holds the rank of captain on the border. If your father’s status isn’t higher than my father’s, I can’t let my sister marry you!"

This scoundrel, if he didn’t understand by now, he might really set the dogs on him.

"Oh! My father is a General, but..."

On hearing that he was a General, Hu Shi’an and Hu Shu’Er both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had finally figured it out.

But then they heard "but", and their hearts jumped again.

"But what?"

Hu Shu’Er asked urgently.

"It’s just that my father isn’t home, he hasn’t come back for many years, and we don’t know when our whole family will be together again!"

This statement plunged the Hu siblings into doubt once more.

"So who is your father, really?"

Wasn’t the Grand General Ji dead long ago?

Why did it seem like they’d identified the wrong person?

"Ji Shang!"

"Great Han’s War God Ji Shang?

The Ji Mansion in Capital City, known for being the Pillar of the Nation, is that your home?"

Hu Shi’an asked.

"Yes!

That is my home, but it’s only temporary."

"?"

The Hu siblings were puzzled.

"We are seven brothers, and not one of us is a military leader. Although I’m in the military camp, I’m just a head craftsman and can’t become a General, so it might be renamed based on my brother’s official title in the future!"

"Your brother is the new Champion Scholar, Ji Youze?"

Ji Youlin nodded, "That’s right. I have another brother, Ji Youzhi, the famous Divine Hunter!"

"And what’s your rank among your siblings?"

"I’m the sixth. I’m the least accomplished in our family, but don’t look down on me. My mother always says, although I’m a bit dense, I have a sincere heart.

I have some expertise in hidden weapons and disguise techniques. My mom says that’s my achievement!"

"Disguise techniques?

That beggar look you had before, was that also your disguise?"

Hu Shu’Er suddenly caught onto something and quickly asked.

"Mm! Whenever something happens, like if I’m in danger, I disguise myself as a beggar to escape.

Back then, I was avoiding the Emperor’s men who were sent to capture me, and I was anxious about family issues at home, so I disguised myself as a beggar."

The Hu siblings could only look at each other.

"Why did His Majesty send people to catch you?"

"He’s always wanted to capture me, from childhood until now, but I’ve smartly avoided him every time."

Hu Shi’an: "....." Talking nonsense!

"I’m asking why he tried to capture you?"

"My eighth brother said I can’t say, if I do, it’ll endanger me."

Hu Shi’an looked at his sister.

"With a brain like that, are you sure you want to marry him?"

Hu Shu’Er’s face reddened with shyness, just about to nod and speak.

Then loud shouts came from outside.

"Sixth Young Master, Sixth Young Master, it’s urgent, an expedited message from the Eighth Young Master!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Youlin hurriedly ran out.

He quickly asked, "Where is it?"

The Hu siblings also rushed out. A middle-aged man in armor was handing a letter to Ji Youlin.

Upon opening it, Ji Youlin’s expression changed.

"Half a month’s time, so urgent, quickly prepare horses, provisions, and leave immediately for Yanyun Ridge."

Hearing the words "Yanyun Ridge", the Hu siblings’ pupils constricted.

But they quickly calmed down.

The person who delivered the message to Ji Youlin quickly departed after receiving instructions.

"Mr. Hu, Miss Shu’Er, I have urgent matters and need to leave Yun County immediately. This marriage, whether you consent or not doesn’t matter!

I wish Miss Shu’Er finds her ideal husband soon!"

After saying this, Ji Youlin turned and left.

Hu Shu’Er’s eyes widened, her entire face full of disbelief.

Hu Shi’an was left with his mouth hanging open, taking a long moment to react. He was so angry he cursed loudly, "This person is simply a blockhead! What on earth do you see in him?"

Only after did he realize his sister was already in tears.

"Oh sister, don’t cry!
