Lan Yuxi touched her nose, "Your baby is already a spirit, and can still accompany you to see your husband."
Lan Zixin chuckled, "Can't it accompany me while still in the womb!"
Lan Yuxi laughed, "It can—if I dare to say no, my brother will beat me."
Lan Mushang smiled indulgently, "I'd never bear to hit you. By the way, did your fifth brother and Xin Moli return last night?"
"They did. I heard from the people downstairs that they were at the racetrack all day yesterday, fighting to the death, and couldn't decide a winner. Then they went to race illegal cars, which is why they returned so late."
"Who won?" Lan Mushang and Lan Zixin asked in unison.
Lan Yuxi looked at the two of them and laughed, "Your synchronicity is unmatched!"
Lan Zixin glanced at Lan Mushang with a smile, "After all, we've been together since childhood, so this level of synchronicity is expected. Hurry up and tell me, who won?"
"My fifth brother won, but it was a narrow victory," Lan Yuxi sighed softly. "I actually hoped Moli would win, because their bet was that the winner would have their way."
Lan Mushang smiled helplessly, "Then Xin Moli is in for it. Your fifth brother will probably torment her endlessly."
Lan Yuxi blinked her dark eyes, "My fifth brother wouldn't be that uncouth, would he?"
Lan Mushang said huffily, "He's the most uncouth person in our family! In the past, I always let him win, so he thought I really couldn't beat him and bullied me quite a bit."
Lan Zixin suppressed her laughter for a long time before finally bursting out, "Hahaha… Stop talking, you keep saying that, and I'll start believing it."
Lan Mushang gave her a helpless look, "Did I say something wrong?"
Lan Zixin said with a smile, "Nothing wrong. Fifth Brother did threaten you with his fists back then, but the truth is, you really couldn't beat him, not that you were letting him win. It's only been in the last year that you've been seeking advice from Grandpa and Grandpa Hong that you've been able to contend with him."
Lan Mushang gave her a look of annoyance, "Are you Fifth Brother's sister-in-law or sister?"
Lan Zixin feigned ignorance, "Is there a difference?"
Lan Yuxi kindly explained, "Of course there's a difference! Being a sister means you're close to my fifth brother, and being a sister-in-law means you're close to my brother."
"You don't need to pay attention to her, she's deliberately playing dumb!" Lan Mushang smiled and pulled Lan Yuxi up, "Come, spar with me, without her."
Lan Yuxi pouted, "You don't want me to disturb sister-in-law's nap, do you?"
Lan Zixin smiled and got out of bed, "You're wronging him there. He really wants to train properly, because his next target is your third brother."
Lan Mushang quickly supported her, "Why are you getting up? It's still early."
"I'm going for a walk with Grandma and Mom. You two go for your morning training, don't mind me. Grandma and Mom can protect me."
Lan Yuxi rubbed her sore waist, "Brother, North, South, East, and West are all here. Why don't you fight all four? If those four aren't enough for you, Old Duan will be back today. Let him spar with you, wouldn't that be exciting."
Lan Mushang looked at her suspiciously, "What do you mean? I just want to spar with you today, and you're already trying to get rid of me?"
Lan Yuxi ungracefully rolled her eyes, "I think your next target isn't my third brother, but me! Hmph! I'm angry, and I'm going to complain to my Nan Xiao!"
Lan Yuxi said this and slipped out. Normally, she wouldn't be afraid of him, but today she really couldn't. Her waist ached and her legs were sore. What was she supposed to fight for!
"Thump!" Lan Yuxi bumped into a wall of flesh as soon as she went out. Smelling the familiar scent, she hugged the person without thinking, "Husband, my brother is going to hit me!"
Lan Mushang, who was supporting his wife out, twitched at the corner of his mouth. When had he said he was going to hit her? Was this kind of false accusation fair?
"Brother, you're really something!" Lan Muwei's teasing voice came from behind, "It's a good thing Mom and Dad aren't here. If they heard this, they'd beat you!"
Lan Mushang opened his mouth, "When did I say I was going to hit her? I said I wanted to spar with her."
Lan Muwei raised an eyebrow slightly, "How can you say that? Sparring with Xi'er is no different from hitting her directly. Come on, I'll spar with you."
Nan Xiao patted Lan Yuxi's head comfortingly, "Third Brother, let me do it."
"I haven't sparred with Eldest Brother in a while, I'll..."
Before Lan Muwei could finish saying "do it," he saw his sister winking at him non-stop and quickly swallowed his words.
Lan Zixin glanced at Nan Xiao's expressionless face, then looked at Lan Mushang with concern.
Lan Mushang smiled, "Don't worry, it's just a friendly spar, no injuries."
The corners of Lan Yuxi's mouth curved up slightly, and she quickly forced the smile back down.
"Brother, I'm rooting for you!"
"Husband, go for it!"
After she finished speaking, she made a cheering gesture to both Lan Mushang and Nan Xiao.
Lan Muwei caught a glimpse of the fleeting glint in her eyes and had a feeling that Eldest Brother and Nan Xiao might have been tricked by their sister, but he couldn't find any proof.
Lan Yuxi, with a smile on her lips, personally opened the door for the two of them, then solicitously reminded them, "Don't hit his face oh~"
"Don't worry, I won't hit his face," Nan Xiao chuckled sinisterly. He would definitely not hit Lan Mushang's face, but he wouldn't hold back elsewhere.
He dared to let Xi Bao spar with him, how bold!
Today, he would fight until Lan Mushang surrendered!
Lan Yuxi watched them go to the lawn and giggled.
Lan Muwei asked with a smile, "Did they offend you?"
Lan Zixin, who was about to go to her mother's room, returned upon hearing Lan Muwei's question.
Lan Yuxi's peripheral vision caught her coming over, and she hugged her third brother's arm, "No, they're so good to me, they dote on me, how could they offend me? Eldest Brother is eager to break through himself, so of course I have to find a strong opponent for him. In our family, Nan Xiao is the strongest, but it won't be easy for him to defeat Eldest Brother in a short time."
"Want to go out and watch?" Lan Muwei nodded towards the door.
"Let's go! Sister-in-law, are you coming?" Lan Yuxi asked Lan Zixin with a smile.
Lan Zixin smiled and shook her head, "You guys go. I can't stand to watch scenes of fists meeting flesh."
"Then we're going," Lan Yuxi said with a smile, pulling Lan Muwei out.
Lan Muwei smiled and flicked her forehead, "Little sprite, now that there's no one around, tell me the truth. How did they bully you? Third Brother will avenge you."
Lan Yuxi pouted, "One won't let me sleep, and the other wants to defeat me. I'm too lazy to fight them myself, so I'll just let them fight each other."
Lan Muwei chuckled, "The one who won't let you sleep definitely deserves a beating. As for the one who wants to defeat you, how little self-awareness does he have? With his level..."
"Wow!" Lan Muwei exclaimed, looking at the two men who were already entangled in combat, "When did our Eldest Brother become this strong!"
