Huxin fiercely glanced at the shadow that was faintly visible behind the pearl curtain.
She had always hated only hearing someone's voice without seeing their face. Liu Yuren was playing both the villain and the hero; who knew whether the person hiding behind the pearl curtain was loyal or treacherous?
"I said to win people over with virtue and reason, but it also depends on who you are dealing with! As the saying goes, first-class people are taught with their eyes, second-class people with words, and third-class people with a slap! Not everyone can be taught in the same way!"
As soon as Huxin finished speaking, Xia Yingba's body involuntarily stiffened, and he turned to look at Huxin intently, a deep look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, the expression on the face of the gentleman behind the pearl curtain was indescribable—whether it was surprise or admiration, it was a look that Yao Tai had never seen before. Yao Tai had always thought that his master's facial expressions were as steady as his voice, showing little variation. However, during these two instances with Miss Xia present, the general's expressions and demeanor had shown obvious changes.
"You silly girl, where did you learn this set of ideas? Really..." Xia Yingba puffed out his cheeks and glared at Huxin. She quickly dodged away, taking a big step back, fearing that the old man would indiscriminately hit her on the back of the head.
"Why are you dodging? I meant to say that it really makes so much sense! Someone like you should have been educated with a stick from a young age! You would have turned out well long ago!" Xia Yingba changed his tone, and Huxin couldn't help but curl her lips in disdain.
Old Man Xia was referring to the former Xia Huxin; she was no longer that rough and reckless girl who didn't understand how to manipulate others! Who would dare provoke her now?
"Father would also say that if such words were spoken from a young age, there are thousands of remedies in this world, yet this 'regret medicine' cannot be bought or consumed. Rather than lamenting the past, it's better to look forward to the future. People live in the present; cherishing each moment is the way to live happily!"
Huxin spoke calmly, her words were precious yet delivered with ease, showing no signs of tension or strain. Her unhurried speech resonated deeply with everyone present.
Xia Yingba squinted his eyes and stared at Huxin; for a moment, it seemed as if he completely did not recognize this daughter of his.
Meanwhile, Liu Yuren, who had been calmly sipping tea, suddenly paused with the white jade cup in hand. Looking through the pearl curtain outside, a flicker of inexplicable excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Father, General, it's getting late. Aren't we heading to Luoming Mountain early tomorrow? I won't disturb you two any longer and will take my leave."
Huxin was both tired and hungry. She felt that Liu Yuren should be her nemesis; staying with Liu Yuren made it hard for her to eat or drink well. It would be better to return to her own courtyard and rest.
"Impudent! The guests haven't settled in yet, and you're already tired at such a young age! What kind of behavior is this?" Xia Yingba snapped back to reality and glared fiercely at Huxin. Although he had doubts about Huxin now, she was still his biological daughter. Xia Yingba's suspicion was only a fleeting moment; as a father who deeply loved his daughter, he hoped more than anyone for Huxin to change.
Although Huxin seemed somewhat out of place on the surface, there was an unprecedented pride and composure emanating from her. This was enough to move Xia Yingba.
"There’s no need to blame Huxin, disciple. I happen to be tired as well, so I will return to the courtyard with Huxin to rest," Liu Yuren's steady voice rang out like jade. However, Huxin found it particularly grating and couldn't help but turn her head with a look of disdain at the figure behind the pearl curtain, standing firm like a mountain. She whispered,
"Return to the courtyard? Are you planning to stay in my courtyard?" Huxin's voice was filled with disbelief.
