Yunling had thought about Yun Ruochun and Qin Yu when she was in Bianjing, but she never expected that the two of them would be so fast, almost as fast as she was riding a horse.

"Auntie agreed???"

"That kid told her himself???"

"You all know about the Qin family???"

Grandma Yun nodded immediately, like a woodpecker, but after a while, she realized something was off, and her gaze towards Yun Ling became subtle.

"Ling-jie, do you mean you knew Yu-ge'er's identity all along?"

"I have no idea!"

Yun Ling quickly got out of Yun Ruoxia's embrace and immediately wrapped her arms around Yun's mother's elbow.

"I only overheard a few words from people in the city when I came back, but I didn't involve my aunt in it..."

Yunling vaguely brushed the matter aside, desperately trying to divert everyone's attention, and then said:

"Grandma, tell me quickly, what's wrong with that boy?"

"Hey, what kind of boy are you? He's your future uncle-in-law, a whole generation above you. You can't be so disrespectful."

Yunling stuck out her tongue at Old Lady Yun and said sarcastically:

“I knew it. It’s always the new bride who’s happy, and the old bride who’s sad. Grandma has a good son-in-law, so naturally she won’t care about us disrespectful kids.”

Old Lady Yun gritted her teeth, clenched her fist, and swung it towards Yun Ling's face, gently pushing her cheek.

"Could it be that he's been doing so much business that he's using his smooth talk on his grandmother?"

Yunling nestled into her mother's shoulder and said sweetly:

"Grandma, please tell me quickly."

Old Lady Yun readily agreed, and as she walked inside with Yun Ling in her arms, Little White and Big Black, who had gone up the mountain to play, seemed to be able to smell Yun Ling's scent and quickly ran down the mountain, clinging tightly to Yun Ling.

After Grandma Yun recounted what Yun Ruochun had told her, Tang Ling and Gangzi, with the help of Zhang Shi, Yun Ruoxia, and Grandpa Yun, unloaded everything from the carriage.

"I never expected that this Yu-ge'er would be Master Qin's son. Heavens! If it weren't for his acquaintance with Madam Qin and Yu-ge'er's deep affection for Chun-jie'er, how could we dare to arrange a marriage with an official's family?"

Yunling quickly covered her heart and pretended to be surprised:

"Now that you say that, I'm a little uneasy. Who would have thought that Yu-ge'er is actually the son of an official? But the Qin family doesn't seem bad. If my aunt marries into them, we'll get along well."

Yun Ling initially thought that if Yun Ruochun found out that Qin Yu was the county magistrate's son, she might cause a scene with Qin Yu. Yun's parents wouldn't accept it so easily either, and it might take a lot of trouble before they could finally get together.

However, Yun Ling was surprised that Yun Ruochun could accept things so quickly. She made up with Qin Yu after a few words, and her parents did the same. It was truly unexpected for Yun Ling.

But seeing this result, Yunling was still happy. Now that she saw Gangzi, she introduced him:

“That’s Tang Ling, as you all know. This is Gangzi, my chosen partner. He’s already been to Qingcheng with me before, and this time he’s coming to Bianjing with me. He’s taken good care of me along the way, and he’ll be living with us from now on.”

Zhang was somewhat taken aback. Grandma Yun and Grandpa Yun exchanged glances, seemingly understanding but not quite. Finally, Yun Ruoxia, frowning, couldn't hold back any longer and asked:

"Ling-jie, have you found yourself a live-in son-in-law?"

"No, no, you've misunderstood. My boss just asked me to follow him around, like a servant in a wealthy family. But he's kind and doesn't want to be called that, so he just calls me 'partner'."

Gangzi's quick reply relieved Zhang. It wasn't that she looked down on Gangzi, but she felt that between Lu Yinghuai and Gangzi, she was more inclined to side with Lu Yinghuai.

However, if Yunling really develops feelings for him, that wouldn't be a bad thing. A son-in-law living with the family is also a good thing, so Yunling can stay in the Yun family forever. Thinking about it this way, it's quite reassuring.

"I see. Gangzi, please feel free to stay here. If you need anything, just let your aunt know."

"Yes, yes, just treat this place as your own home and settle in comfortably."

Gangzi knew Yunling's personality and knew that a family that raised such a person must be quite good. That's why he was so firm when Yunling asked him to follow her example. And now, he was right.

"Thank you, Aunt, Grandma, Grandpa, and Second Aunt."

As Yun Ruoxia was pondering Gangzi's nickname for her, Yun Ling interrupted, saying:

"Hey, I have something really important to say. If I tell you, it will shock the whole village, and even the whole city."

Yun Ruoxia immediately grabbed Yun Ling's hand and asked in a low voice:

"Did you find gold in Bianjing?"

"It's best to wait until Father and Sister return before revealing the truth. If you both faint, then you should both faint at the same time so I can take care of you. Otherwise, if you both faint first, I'll have to explain to them."

Yunling's words undoubtedly piqued their curiosity, like a feather so light it could not be touched, and it was absolutely irresistible.

Yun Ruoxia couldn't hold back any longer and tugged at Yun Ling again, asking:

"But you were taken a liking to by the son of an official in Bianjing, who wanted to marry you. You refused and ran back home. In a fit of rage, he came all the way from Bianjing, even if it meant slaughtering our entire family, just to bring you back bound?"

Yun Ling was truly amused by Yun Ruoxia's bizarre imagination, but she was good at keeping things to herself; whether she wanted to say it or not, she wouldn't.

Unable to deal with Yun Ling, Yun Ruoxia shifted her focus to Gangzi, who was behind Yun Ling.

"Hey, Gangzi, what exactly is your boss hiding? Is it good or bad?"

Gangzi always bends his fingers inwards, and since Yunling wouldn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't either. Besides, he didn't know why his boss was suddenly being mysterious, so he smiled and said:

"Second Aunt, my eldest sister is really good, but she's also really tight-lipped. I've tried to probe her countless times along the way, but she hasn't uttered a single word. I've been holding it in all the way, and it's been even harder for me than for you right now."

Since Gangzi said so, Yun Ruoxia glanced at Tang Ling and guessed that this person was even less aware of the situation, so she temporarily put aside her thoughts.

Zhang was different from the others. She only asked Yunling if she was hungry after her long journey, and then gave Yunling, Gangzi and Tangling a salted egg yolk rice dumpling each before going to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Anyway, good things are shared and bad things are shared, it's that simple. Besides, when Yunling comes back, a big meal is inevitable.
