118. A Confession?

Jiang YanLi shook her head and turned to Madam Jin, "Madam Jin, I really did make trouble for you."

Madam Jin waved her hand, "You'll never make trouble for your mother-in-law here. Scold that dumb brat however you want to. It's not like I care about him. If you're still mad, I can help you beat him up."

"Oh Jin-xiong, your mother isn't on your side." laughed Nie Huaisang.

"Muqin." called Jin Zixuan.

"What? You hurt her. I won't let do something like that again to my daughter-in-law." said Madam Jin.

"I won't." said Jin Zixuan.

"A-li, when that brat of mine made you troubled, you can lecture him however you want and even beat him. I won't butt in and will let you do what you want." said Madam Jin with a smile as she glared at her son.

"What about us?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"Is me and ChengCheng allowed to beat him too?" he added.

"No, my son will end up crippled with the two of you." said Madam Jin.

"Honestly, it will be more than that." said Jiang Cheng.

Jiang YanLi, "There's no need, there's no need... Then, I'll go back first?"

Madam Jin hurried, "To the Watching Towers? I'll get ZiXuan to walk us back."

As she spoke, she tried her hardest in eyeing Jin ZiXuan, who was standing some distance away. Jiang YanLi whispered, "That's not necessary. I'd like to have a few words with A-Xian. He can walk me back."

Madam Jin raised her brows, looking Wei WuXian up and down. Her gaze was somewhat cautious, as if she was feeling displeased, "A young man and a young woman—you two can't stick together all the time if nobody else is present."

"Well, he and shijie also can't stick together if nobody's present." said Wei Wuxian.

"Does Madam Jin thinks that I like shijie more than a sister?" he asked.

"Oh please not." said Jiang Cheng.

"That's illegal even if it's just a thought." he added.

Jiang Yanli chuckled.

"It's not impossible." said Madam Jin.

"Don't ever say that again, Madam Jin." said Wei Wuxian.

"Oh come on, I know that a-li will end up with my son." said Madam Jin.

Jiang YanLi, "A-Xian is my younger brother."

Madam Jin, "A-Li, please don't be angry. Tell me what stupid thing that stubborn brat of mine did to you this time. I'll tell him to make it up to you properly."

Jiang YanLi shook her head, "That's really not necessary. Madam Jin, don't force him."

Madam Jin urged, "How could I force him? It's not forced at all."

"How is it not forced?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"She clearly doesn't want to be with shijie." he added.

"Why do I feel it's gonna be embarrassing?" laughed Nie Huaisang.

"It won't." said Jin Zixuan.

"How are you so sure?" asked Wei Wuxian.

"It's not like I'm going to do something." said Jin Zixuan.

The three gave him a look.

Wei WuXian lowered his head, "Excuse my absence, Madam Jin."

He and Jiang YanLi bowed at the same time. As they turned around to leave, Madam Jin grabbed Jiang YanLi's hand and refused to let her leave.
