Su Hua's almond-shaped eyes brightened. Dan Feng's martial arts skills seemed to be quite similar to those of Yu Feng and Yu Yu.

In just a few breaths, the carriage arrived and came to a smooth stop in front of Su Hua. The curtain was opened, and a voice said, "Miss, please—"

Su Hua stepped onto the carriage, her feet seemingly touching the wind.

After settling in, she half-lifted the carriage curtain, smiling brightly at the man below, "Zichen, are you planning to ride back on horseback later, or will you come in the carriage with me?"

Upon hearing this, Danfeng couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, only I can wield my thunderous power..."

"Ahem!" Qingdai coughed suddenly, stopping her from speaking, and looked respectfully at Xiao Jinhan, "It's chilly at night, why don't you ride in the carriage with Miss Su? I'll take care of Leiting for you."

"Hmm." Xiao Jinhan nodded expressionlessly.

His feet, however, were quite honest; in one smooth motion, he stepped onto the carriage shaft and entered the carriage.

On the carriage shaft, Danfeng saw the two of them get into the carriage and couldn't help but pull Qingdai aside and whisper in her ear, "No one but Master can ride on Thunder. You let Master get into the carriage, how is Thunder going to get back later?"

"Thunder can only be ridden by its master, but it has legs of its own. Once it sees its master leave, is it going to stand there like a wild horse? Don't just use your brain for eating..."

Su Hua sat by the car window, the two people's hushed conversation seemed to be right next to her ears. She glanced at the person sitting opposite her with a broad and powerful voice and couldn't help but smile.

The two sisters this guy found are quite similar to Yu Feng and Yu Yu in that they're not alike.

Xiao Jinhan glanced helplessly at the girl, then knocked on the carriage door. "Qingdai, remember to bring this chestnut horse back with you, Miss."

"Yes," Qingdai replied repeatedly.

Su Hua looked out the window at the two horses walking side by side and immediately gave the man a thumbs up.

She had originally planned to take the horse back with her, but unexpectedly, he had the same idea.

As the old saying goes, "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal."

Although this horse is slightly inferior to the calligraphy, it is still comparable to the horse they bought for one hundred taels in Tangshan Prefecture today.

Moreover, this is an adult mare, while they bought a stallion today. If the two horses take a liking to each other, they might produce a few foals in the future.

When Xiao Jinhan saw her smiling at him, the fur that had been standing on end instantly calmed down.

She stood up, tidied up the soft pillows and thin blankets behind her, and placed them behind her. "It's very late. Hua'er can sleep for a while. After you wake up, we'll be in Shanghe Village."

"I'm not sleepy right now." Su Hua shook her head, nestled in the center of the soft pillow like a boneless cat, swaying with the carriage, occasionally peeking through a crack in her eyes.

With the car window slightly open, a cool breeze drifted in, creating a gentle, intoxicating atmosphere under the soft, bright moonlight.

About half an hour later.

Xiao Jinhan skillfully reached out and scooped the chick-like person up, letting them lean against his shoulder, his exquisitely sculpted face full of doting affection.

Qingdai, riding her chestnut horse, glanced casually through the window and blushed instantly. She quickly loosened her grip on the reins and fell two steps behind the carriage.

At this moment, she finally understood why her master had rushed to send them here by carrier pigeon.

The sound of horses' hooves went south, the moon gradually sank below the mountain, and a thin mist rose from the ground. When Su Hua opened her eyes again, she had already arrived at the gate of Qingshui County.

She folded her hands behind her head and it took her a while to fully wake up. The man was no longer in front of her, but a familiar and pleasant orchid scent still lingered in her nostrils.

Su Hua caught a glimpse of the person on horseback out of the corner of her eye. She couldn't quite remember when he got out of the carriage. At the city gate, there were only a few people queuing to enter the city. After passing through Qingshui County, the carriage headed towards Shanghe Village.

When we returned to Shanghe Village, it was around dawn.

After finishing their morning work, the villagers were eating their meals in front of their homes. These meals were real rice, not just vegetable porridge to fill their stomachs. Moreover, they included not only fluffy white rice but also fragrant meat.

Now every household grows vegetables. They just need to tend to them in the morning and evening, and then they can wait for the people from Su's Restaurant to come and collect the vegetables. Every day, they earn dozens of copper coins at home, and every household can afford to eat meat every day.

Hearing the clatter of hooves, the villagers' eyes lit up instantly, and when they saw the girl in the carriage, their eyes were filled with smiles.

"Has Hua returned from the county?"

"Have you had breakfast yet? We just made some braised pork at home. Shall I get you a pair of chopsticks?"

"My bayberries are ripe. Hua'er loves sweet and sour ones the most. Uncle will pack some for you to take home and enjoy slowly!"

"My family just made some meat pies, Hua'er, take a few home to try..."

Danfeng and Qingdai, who were both quite used to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed by the sight of those warm eyes outside the car.

All that could be heard was the sound of a car window being rolled up behind her, followed by a girl's loud laughter, "Third Aunt! Sister-in-law Xia Hua! Uncle Li! Aunt Zhou... Good morning everyone, Hua'er thanks you in advance for the vegetables and fruit, we'll eat them next time we visit your homes."

The two turned their heads to look and saw the girl waving her hand and calling out names to greet the villagers.

It looked exactly like an important figure inspecting the countryside.

Upon hearing this, the villagers erupted in laughter and chatter so loudly it could have shaken a hole in the mountain.

Dressed in coarse cloth, Feng's mother stood against the wall, staring at the exquisitely beautiful face inside the carriage, her eyes filled with disbelief.

That day, the elegantly dressed young lady she saw outside the noodle shop was none other than Su Hua, whom she had previously looked down upon the most!
