Aunt Li had never seen a beheading at Caishikou.

But she found those people to be very fierce, so she quickly came to the city to warn Gu An'an.

Gu An'an comforted her, "It's alright, we're in a county town, they can't do whatever they want here."

Jiang Da Sao actually managed to find the person in Anzhou Prefecture using that token.

However, Jiang Mingyi also took a token back then, and I wonder what its purpose was.

Gu An'an couldn't come up with an answer for a moment.

Aunt Li muttered, "Those people are really strange. They're dressed in black, and their cloaks are embroidered with orchids. It seems that Qiaoqiao is quite familiar with the leader, saying something about the Orchid Order being carried out."

"By the way, Xiao Gu, their orchid was embroidered with gold and silver thread, it looks very valuable."

Orchid Order.

Gu An'an thought about the token she had seen, and realized she had actually guessed correctly.

It seems that the man in black we encountered on the mountain was no ordinary person.

However, Gu An'an had no regrets.

Hearing Aunt Li's words, Liu Jiuniang smiled and said, "It's alright, Aunt Li, don't worry, Jiang Yong'an will protect Xiao Gu."

Gu An'an didn't say anything, but her gaze fell on Jiang Yong'an, who was frowning.

He seemed to be thinking about something.

Aunt Li then noticed Jiang Yong'an's presence. "Third brother, let me tell you, you can't let Xiao Gu down, or I'll be the first to make trouble for you."

She had told Jiang Yong'an everything before, including the outrageous things Gu An'an had done over the years.

But the children have put aside their past grievances, so he can't hold a grudge against her later, otherwise even an outsider like her won't forgive him!

Jiang Yong'an nodded, "Don't worry, I will protect their safety."

Seeing that he seemed quite serious, Aunt Li breathed a sigh of relief. "That's more like it. You two keep an eye on things. I'll head back now."

Gu An'an saw the person off, but when she reached the door, Aunt Li pulled her back, and she staggered a few steps to talk elsewhere.

“I know you all feel awkward about this arranged marriage, but you’ve also seen that Jiang Yong’an is different from his family. If you can make it work, then go ahead and live a good life with him.”

Gu An'an explained, "I..."

Before she could say two words, Aunt Li glared at her and said, "You really think I can't tell? You two don't seem like a couple who're going to live together. Even if you're arguing with your husband, there has to be a limit. What if you really push him away?"

A little bit of play can be enjoyable.

Everything should be done with moderation.

Gu An'an nodded repeatedly, "You're right, you're absolutely right, I understand."

I have no plans to change it.

Aunt Li had no idea what Gu An'an was thinking. Seeing that Gu An'an had taken her wise advice to heart, she left satisfied.

Gu An'an watched the person walk away and took a deep breath.

"This wasn't something I conspired with."

A breath that hadn't been exhaled was stuck in his throat.

Gu An'an choked on the breath. She coughed twice in a hoarse voice and said angrily, "If you wanted me dead, you should have said so earlier."

Jiang Yong'an: "..." How could he have such thoughts?

However, when he tried to explain, the person had already returned to the shop, looking like they didn't want to listen to him.

Seeing this, Su Sanniang next door laughed, "If you want to make a woman happy, you have to cater to her tastes." Buying some embroidery and cosmetics is the best choice.

Which woman doesn't love beauty and looking pretty?

Jiang Yong'an seemed to understand what Su San Niang meant, and clasped his hands in thanks, saying, "You're right."

Su San Niang smiled. Of course, she was the person who dealt with women the most, so she understood her fellow women the best.

However, that smile shattered instantly upon hearing the answer—

"She loves money the most, so I should give her more money."

Su San Niang: "..." Aren't you vulgar?

You're so incredibly vulgar!

You two are both extremely vulgar and reek of money!

However, no matter how angry Su San Niang was, Jiang Yong An didn't see it at all; he turned back to his job as a waiter.

Life was extremely ordinary, yet it was far removed from the peaceful reality of fighting and killing.

...

Gu An'an didn't take the return of Jiang Dasao and her son seriously.

If we're really going to settle accounts, this mother and daughter should first settle accounts with Boss Jiang, and also with the woman he's keeping outside.

Speaking of Anping County, it's neither too big nor too small. At first, Jiang Laoda ignored his wife and daughter after they left, but later he probably gave up and started to go back to them, as if he wanted to take them back to live with him.

However, that woman was no pushover either. Why would she, living peacefully in the county town, decide to move to the countryside?

And there's also a widowed mother-in-law to take care of.

Only a fool would choose to go to the city.

Gu An'an didn't pay much attention to these things, but Su San Niang knew everything about the women in the city, and would chat with her about it when she had free time.

Even if you count them one by one—Jiang Laoda, Jiang Laotai, and that mother and son—Gu An'an would still rank fourth.

What is there for her to be anxious or worried about?

Besides, even if Jiang Yong'an couldn't protect herself, she had her own means of self-protection.

However, despite all her calculations, Gu An'an never expected that Sister-in-law Jiang would act so unpredictably.

In the late afternoon, several uninvited guests arrived at Gu's Food Shop.

Dressed in blue robes and black cloaks, with orchid patterns outlined in gold and silver thread beneath the cloak.

Isn't that the person Jiang Dasao brought?

The person who stepped down from the carriage was Jiang Qiaoqiao.

After several months apart, Jiang Qiaoqiao seemed different from before.
