As soon as Du Xiao Li returned, Silver and Gold ran up. Ying Ge came out, and upon seeing Du Xiao Li, said,

“Seeing Silver and them hastily run out, I just knew miss has returned. What was master looking for miss for?”

“Ha, a good thing!” Du Xiao Li’s mood was quite good. She leaned over and patted Silver, saying, “Come, I’ll take

you all to stroll around in the back.”

With that said, she went out the back gate with Silver and Gold, preparing to go across the river for a stroll.

Ying Ge, Xia Yuan, and Qiao Zhu followed behind her. By now, a small boat had already been prepared in the back,

and they traveled across in the boat.

“Did something happen to miss for her to be this happy?” Ying Ge looked to Du Xiao Li’s appearance, and pulled

Xia Yuan aside to ask.

Xia Yuan, seeing that Du Xiao Li and Silver have already reached the other side, said, “Just now, that Ren Wang

came to break off the engagement with miss.”

“Got her engagement broken, and she’s still this happy?” Ying Ge said, “Wait, that’s not right, when did miss have

an engagement?”

Xia Yuan had the entire matter from beginning to end explained to Ying Ge. After Ying Ge finished listening, she

said, “It really is a good thing!”

“Right? Miss was previously just thinking about how to let the other party break the engagement. Now that he came,

how can miss not be in a good mood.” Xia Yuan said, “Let’s go over too.”

Seeing the only boat rowed to the other side by Du Xiao Li, Qiao Zhu said, “Without a boat, how are we going to

get over there?”

Xia Yuan and Ying Ge giggled, as both of them held onto each of Qiao Zhu’s arms and simultaneously leapt, flying

over to the other side with her in tow.

“Qing, qinggong?!” After landing, Qiao Zhu exclaimed in surprise.

Du Xiao Li, feeling that her mood was quite good, said: “It’d be great if there were horses to ride right now!”

‘De de de—‘

Just as Du Xiao Li’s words landed, the sound of horse hooves came through. Du Xiao Li followed the sound and

looked over, seeing two horses currently running towards her. The ones on the horse’s back were obviously Ji Liu

Feng, who’d just returned to the capital yesterday, and Ji Liu Xia.

The horses stopped in front of Du Xiao Li. Ji Liu Xia wore a body of fiery red riding clothes, while Ji Liu Feng’s

was white like snow.

“Brother, didn’t I say we’d be able to meet Xiao Li here?” Ji Liu Xia proudly said to Ji Liu Feng.

Ji Liu Feng got down from his horse and looked to Du Xiao Li, “Little girl, having not met in this long, did you miss

us?”

“Young general, Miss Ji.” Du Xiao Li nodded at the two of them.

“What young general, just call me big brother Liu Feng like when you were little. Liu Xia is a little bit older than

you, you can just call her big sister Liu Xia.” Ji Liu Feng said. Just then, he saw running in the distance, Silver and

Gold. “Silver has already grown this big? And the other wolf is also yours?”

“That’s Silver’s wife that he brought back on his own, Gold. I’ve already raised her for more than a year.” Du Xiao

Li looked to Silver and said, her eyes filled with affection.

“Silver, Gold, this money loving personality of yours still hasn’t changed!” Ji Liu Feng laughed as he teased.

“This is my lifetime pursuit, how can it change!” Du Xiao Li discontentedly shot a glare at Ji Liu Feng.

At this time, Silver ran over. Clearly, he still remembered Ji Liu Feng, and after running over, squeezed next to his

side and rubbed against his legs.

“Haha, Silver, in the past, you would always face your butt towards us, now that we’ve separated, you finally know

to miss me?” Ji Liu Feng didn’t expect that this time he was able to receive such a passionate reaction from Silver.

“Big brother already knew Silver in the past?” Ji Liu Xia also got down from her horse. Seeing Silver, she was still a

bit scared.

“En, at that time, she’d just brought Silver back. When she’d given him the name Silver, she even got laughed at by

Leng Er and I for a long time!” Ji Liu Feng explained.

“So you and Xiao Li were already acquainted!” Ji Liu Xia said somewhat unhappily, “Can’t believe I was even

telling you how interesting Du family’s third miss was!”

“Haha, actually, although you didn’t know her, you’ve also came in contact with her before. That pot for hotpot in

our house was forged that year by the blacksmith on her request. And the hotpot you like so much was also invented

by her.”

“Really! That hotpot was invented by you Xiao Li?” Ji Liu Xia listened and immediately looked to Du Xiao Li in

surprise.

“Keke, can be considered yes.” Du Xiao Li rubbed her nose, and didn’t say that hotpots were everywhere in her past

life.

“Ah, didn’t think that I’d still be able to meet you again. Tsk tsk, your identity really changed drastically, all of a

sudden from a village girl to the di daughter of the prime minister. Ming Yi and I were both surprised!” Even now, Ji

Liu Feng still felt somewhat bewildered. When he’d heard this matter from Niu Jing, he and Han Ming Yi were

really shocked.

“This perhaps is just the so called ‘affairs of the world, difficult to predict’.” Du Xiao Li said.

“Truthfully speaking, right now, I really miss your cooking, especially when I was at the military camp. When are

you going to invite us for a meal? Just see it as thanking us for protecting the country and creating a peaceful

environment for you to earn money, how about it?” Ji Liu Feng said laughing.

“Okay! However, still need to wait some time. I just arrived in the capital and still have a lot to do. Once everything

is more or less taken care of, I’ll go invite you all.” Du Xiao Li said, “That’s right, why didn’t I see Leng Yi and them

yesterday?”

“They were sent away on a mission by Han Ming Yi, but they’ll be able to return very soon. Now that we’re back, if

there’s anything, you can come find us.” Ji Liu Feng said.

“I know.” Du Xiao Li said with smile.

“Ah, that’s right, don’t know who, but someone had spread what had happened at the gathering the day before

yesterday. Everyone’s all saying that you’re talentless and without virtue. I just knew Du Ke Xin didn’t have good

intentions taking you to participate in the gathering.” Ji Liu Xia pulled Du Xiao Li’s hands and said.

(T/N: For some reason I really want to see Ji Liu Xia fight Du Ke Xin…..)

“I understand, and also know the reason why she’s doing this. She’s achieved her purpose already, but this doesn’t

affect me too much either.” Du Xiao Li unconcernedly said.

“Purpose? What purpose?” Ji Liu Feng asked.

“This morning, Ren Wang came to break off his engagement with me.” Du Xiao Li nonchalantly said, seemingly

like the person with the broken engagement wasn’t her.

“Ah, that’s right, you’re now the Du Manor di miss. The engagement that the Empress Dowager bestowed became

yours.” Ji Liu Xia suddenly came to realization.

“What, he actually dare to break the engagement!? I’m gonna go reason with him!” Ji Liu Feng angrily said.

Sweat. “Big brother Liu Feng, I was just hoping for him to break the engagement, what are you stupidly getting

angry for!” Du Xiao Li quickly grabbed Ji Liu Feng to stop him.

“Do you know how big of an insult and damage a broken engagement is to a girl?”

“I know, girls that have been rejected in marriage will get looked down on by others.” Du Xiao Li said as she let go

of him. “But someone that truly loves me won’t care about this. If he cares, then that can only mean that he doesn’t

really like me. Since that’s the case, why be together? Compared to this, marrying that stud horse is even more

unbearable.”

“Stud horse? What does that mean?” This was Ji Liu Xia’s first time hearing this phrase, so she curiously asked.

Ji Liu Feng although never heard of it before, he more or less could guess the meaning.

“That Ren Wang already has a pile of concubines, everyday sowing his seeds everywhere, if that is not a stud horse,

what is?” Du Xiao Li explained, “Alright, big brother Liu Feng, let’s not talk about unhappy things today, else I’ll

have Silver bite you!”

“Really can’t win you!” Ji Liu Feng helplessly looked to Du Xiao Li and asked, “Where’s that Han Ming Hong? Did

he get beat up by Prime Minister Du?”

“Since I agreed, what can my father still say. As for that stud horse, he should be entering the palace to look for the

Empress Dowager right about now. Although he and I both agreed to breaking the engagement, it’s still a decree

passed by the Empress Dowager after all. He went to go explain himself to the Empress Dowager, and also probably

ask for a decree to marry my second sister while he’s at it.” Du Xiao Li guessed.

“What?!” This time, both Ji Liu Feng and Ji Liu Xia cried out in surprised. Du Xiao Li scratched her ear and went to

go play with Silver.

T/N: Every time I finish paying my bills I feel so empty inside. Anyways, another shameless advertising part 2. My

third translation project was released, please check it out! I was invited to work with Creative back in January but I

delayed it until now. Although it’s not much but every little bit I get from ad-revenue and donations really helps. I

work as a freelance translator, but translating novels is so much more fulfilling than translating business documents

;;;;v;;;;

The story is about a cute little princess who secretly becomes the adopted daughter of a general of a different

country after saving his life. The general has 6 sons and has always wanted a daughter. However, she has to hide her

true identity from them, in order not to get them involved in her mess. There’s no transmigration and no

reincarnation. Just cute MC doing cute things. The romance is very innocent and the pampering is super

heartwarming. The plot isn’t exactly light but it’s not too heavy either. Please check out: Princess and the General
