The Fifty-Eighth Legend of Man

  The person in the fifty-eighth legend—

  Two men were both in their mid-twenties, with vastly different temperaments, yet equally outstanding in talent and appearance.

  He was dressed in black, with a tall and slender figure, angular yet handsome facial features, long and sharp black eyes, along with his slightly pursed thin lips and the hint of aloofness and indifference between his eyebrows, giving off an air of coldness that warned people to keep their distance.

  The one in red was entirely different, with features and slender eyes that were quite similar to those of the man in black, but with a gentle gaze, a smile at the corner of his lips, and dressed in magnificent finery, he looked elegant and noble.

  Unfortunately, when faced with these two men who were as handsome as heavenly beings, Jiu Xiaojie didn't have the slightest mood to appreciate them, her face was full of awkward blush.

  I'm dead!

  What was she just saying? Still arguing over men and marriage... Uh, speaking of such words in a past life is bold enough, let alone in this feudal society where etiquette suffocates people.

  It's all because of this Seventh Sister... Of course, I also blame these two men.

  Two girls from the boudoir actually came over to eavesdrop, don't they know what it means by not watching or listening to something that's not supposed to be seen or heard? As an ancient man, how can he have no integrity at all...

  "The young lady and her sister were just playing around, disturbing the elegant pleasure of the two gentlemen. Please forgive them!"

  At this time, her elder cousin who caused all this had already recovered, with a blushing face and a gentle smile, she curtsied to the two men.

  This move made Jiuniang's face blush again, because this move, anyone with a discerning eye could see at a glance that it was not a sincere apology, but rather... an active attempt to strike up a conversation.

  At this moment, in the hearts of these two men, the label for these two sisters should not only be shameless, but probably also frivolous.

  I really don't know if this cousin of hers is clever or stupid, how can she not understand her own life in this era.

  When one is honored, all are honored; when one is disgraced, all are disgraced. Having a sister like you means that your family has failed to teach you properly, and in other people's eyes, you're already tainted too - otherwise, Fifth Sister wouldn't have ended up as a Buddhist nun.

  And she...she actually still wants to put on a clean and hypocritical appearance, trying to lure men, has she been blinded by lust?

  "Don't say that, young lady. The ones who are being rude are my two brothers, who came over so abruptly and startled the two of you!" said the man in red clothes with a slight smile as he glanced at Seventh Sister.

  He only said words of apology, but his expression showed no sign of apology at all. His slender peach blossom eyes stared directly at Qī Jiě without avoiding her gaze, and the corners of his mouth even curled up with a hint of playful smile.

  The man in black didn't speak, and began to look through the flowers at the crowd behind the two people. He saw something, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and his expression seemed even colder.

  For some reason, Jiu's heart skipped a beat when she saw him, and she quickly turned her head to Qi, who was about to say something to the man in red, "Qi, Mother Fang will be looking for us soon, let's go back!" After saying that, without waiting for Qi's response, she pulled her and left.

  Poor Seventh Sister, she had never known that she was so fierce and strong-willed, being dragged away like this. Afraid of losing face, she could only follow in his footsteps.

  Just as the two figures turned behind the tree shadow, Jiuniang was suddenly pushed away. "What are you doing? Can't bear to see a man talking to me?"

  Uh, towards this elder sister of mine who is full of petty-minded thoughts, Jiu feels a bit helpless, like they're speaking different languages.

  "Seventh sister..." She suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "You talk to them, but do you know their background? What if they're bad people?"

  "Bad people? Hehe... where did so many bad people come from, you're just jealous!"

  “……”

  It was really hard to communicate, so Jiuniang simply shut her mouth.

  It's just that the effort wasn't great, and the seven sisters wilted.

  "Listen up, everyone! Don't speak recklessly or run around wildly. I heard that Wei Yuan Wang and the Fourth Prince have also arrived at this mountain. We rushed over to greet you in a hurry, fearing that you might unintentionally bump into them and cause trouble, which would lead to others looking down on us. This is not just a personal matter, but also concerns the entire Wen Manor!"

  Seventh Sister and Ninth Sister had just returned to the team, when Madame and several others, including Miao Shi and Jiang Shi, hastily arrived. After they arrived, they immediately summoned everyone to a quiet place and solemnly instructed them with a serious face.

  The two sisters, Qiě Jiě and Jiǔ Jiě, who had just had a most unpleasant quarrel, couldn't help but exchange a nervous glance.

  It later turned out that their apprehensions were justified —

  "Hmm, I see them, one wearing red, one wearing black..."

  "Really? How about the fourth prince? I've heard that he's handsome and charming, and many girls from good families have a crush on him..."

  "It's not like that, I heard it's still Weiyuan Wang who has captured the heart of Miss Fang, not only is he handsome, but also highly skilled in martial arts..."

  The madam and her sisters-in-law led the crowd of sisters to walk back, but they met the lady and girls of the Li family of Wenping Hou, because the Li family was a branch of the old lady's mother's family, and they were all in a state of gradual decline, so they naturally got along well with each other, and the two families merged into one, walking together.

  A group of young girls gathered together, while the few ladies in front had their own conversation, ignoring them, so they started discussing in a low voice, and naturally, it was also about the idol in the dreams of the girls.

  Of course, the girls in the Wenfu government can only be listeners, knowing that there is a limit on one hand, and on the other hand, it's about Wu Jie's affairs.

  Although others may not know, but the girls in the Wen family have no face to say more.

  The seventh and ninth sisters were even more silent, fearing that if they said one more sentence, the previous matter would be leaked out. Thinking of the outcome of the fifth sister... it's terrifying to think about.

  Compared with Seventh Sister, Ninth Sister's mind was even more chaotic, for she had an additional sense of urgency besides her worries.

  What's going on with her cheap uncle? Is her plan really going to fall through...

  Just as Jiujie's heart was burning with anxiety, the team in front suddenly stopped and looked at the two guards who were hastily approaching Zou Shi, holding something. Jiujie's eyebrows and eyes involuntarily relaxed, and she smiled.

  It's finally here!

  It didn't take long for Ninth Sister to be accompanied by two nursemaids, a personal maid, and Old Mother Zhou to meet Uncle Xu Shichang.

  Xu Shichang was over forty years old, with a regular five senses and an honest and simple appearance.

  "Uncle..." Facing the person in front of her who looked extremely similar to Xu Niang, Jiu Si'er felt a sense of closeness and stepped forward to pay her respects. She then asked in a low voice, "Why have you only just arrived?"

  Looking at his niece who he could only see once or twice a year, Xu Shichang's face was filled with joyful and kind smiles. "I came out early, but just now I met some people by the forest who wanted to buy those green trees to make weapons, and I chatted with them for a couple of sentences."

  "Uh..."
