Qin Luo, who was playing cat's cradle with Wu Hua, was completely unaware of this.

They even shamelessly changed the rules because they couldn't beat Wu Hua!

After saying goodbye to Shui Ying and the others, Qin Yunyuan went back to his room to find Qin Yunning.

Qin Yunning is drawing the specifications for her small stall.

Qin Yunyuan walked over and began to critique his painting.

"This won't do. The foundation area is too small; we can't build more than a few stories up. And these tables and chairs won't do either; they look too cheap and don't match the overall style..."

Qin Yunning looked at Qin Yunyuan, who was talking non-stop, and reached out to touch his forehead.

"Big cousin, you don't have a fever! Why are you talking nonsense? All I want to open is a small noodle stall, not a multi-story one! Don't tease me!"

After saying that, he sat dejectedly by the window, looking at the night sky outside.

It's as if I'm looking at my own pitch-black future again.

Seeing that he was listless, Qin Yunyuan stopped teasing him.

I took out the deed and waved it in front of him.

"You know, my sister is so thoughtful! Luo Luo asked me to give this to you. She just can't stand seeing her fourth cousin envying others!"

Qin Yunning held the contract in her hand in disbelief, looking at it over and over again many times.

His fingers traced the name stamped with the official seal, touching it again and again.

"Did Luo Luo give this to me? How much silver is this? Why didn't she come?"

Seeing him weep, Qin Yunyuan deliberately made a sarcastic remark.

"Luo Luo must know you're prone to crying, that's why she asked me to bring this to you!"

Qin Yun Ning gave him a reproachful look, secretly pleased, but unable to stop him from being defiant.

"No, she's just afraid I won't accept it!"

As he spoke, he wiped away his tears, took out the four hundred taels of silver notes he had been hiding in his chest, and handed them to Qin Yunyuan.

"Big cousin, please give this to Luo Luo for me, I'll pay the rest back slowly..."

Qin Yunyuan stuffed the silver note back into his clothes.

"Luo Luo won't take it. She said the money for the shop should be considered her investment, with you getting 70% and her 30%!"

Qin Yun Ning's tears, which she had just wiped away, welled up again.

Is she still blaming herself?

Qin Yunyuan sighed: "Perhaps!"

That night, the two brothers talked for a long time, from the hard furnishings to the soft furnishings, and from the chef to the cuisine.

Qinling and Doctor You, who live next door, were both woken up by them.

Then he pricked up his ears and listened with great interest!

The two sat down at the table and brewed a pot of tea.

Doctor You gave half of the gems and pearls that Wu Hua had given him to Qin Ling.

"Here, let's split it in half. You can take it to the pawnshop tomorrow and exchange it for silver. Then those two kids will have the shop they were talking about!"

Qinling pushed the things back.

"Keep this safe. Knowing Yunyuan as I do, he won't say anything he doesn't want!"

Dr. You suddenly understood, raised his hand and slapped his forehead.

"Yeah! Yunyuan is a steady guy. So, those two kids struck it rich?"

Qin Ling looked at him with a smile.

"Hehe! It's almost certainly true!"

Dr. You's eyes held both envy and heartache.

"This girl always does good deeds quietly. She secretly arranged everything; I'm afraid it's because..."

Qin Ling gazed in the direction where Qin Luo lived, his heart aching for his granddaughter.

"She's sensitive and probably hasn't come to terms with things after all this time. Oh well! As long as she's happy, let her go if she wants. I'm at ease with Lord Kang by her side!"

The two old men spent half the night feeling melancholy over Qin Luo's impending departure...

Qin Luo shared a room with Liu Zheng that night; Wu Hua was originally supposed to sleep with them.

But it said it was a man and would sleep alone tonight!

Qin Luo agreed with it! Boys should indeed be independent from a young age.

He turned around and sent the boy, who looked three years old but was actually only five months old, back into the space.

After seeing Wu Hua off, she took out the deeds from the cloth bag and handed them to Liu Zheng.

"Auntie, this is for my brother. It's my support for him, this future artist!"

Liu Zheng was amused by her statement, but did not accept it.

"Ever since you mentioned artists, Yunyang has listed himself as one!"

Qin Luo understood that she was deliberately changing the subject, so she simply stuffed the contract into her hand.

"Auntie, please give this to him for me! He can discuss the renovation details with my eldest cousin!"

Liu Zheng gripped her hand tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Are you leaving?

Qin Luo didn't expect her to think that way. Although she was leaving, the date hadn't been set yet!

She took out a tissue and wiped away Liu Zheng's tears.

"Auntie, even if I leave, I'll come back. Just think of it as me going on a study tour! Please don't cry anymore, crying too much will make a woman age faster!"

Liu Zheng paused, holding the tissue, then patted her again.

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Your aunt will be a grandmother in a few years, so why would she care about her appearance!"

"You're nothing like Grandma. My aunt is very young; people would believe she's a newlywed!"

Liu Zheng was amused by her and hugged her tightly.

"Of all these children, you have the sweetest tongue. You'd better come back to see me often in the future, okay?

Qin Luo leaned on her shoulder and nodded gently.

"Yes, Auntie!"

That night, many people in the martial arts school didn't sleep well!

Some were moved to tears and couldn't sleep, some were excited about the future, and others worried about their children's upcoming journeys away.

Mu Feng, far away in the capital, was also having trouble sleeping; he had a constant feeling that Qin Luo would leave.

But right now, Mu Xiuyu only has him and Mu Xiao by his side, so he can't leave at all.

All he could do was send letters to Qin Luo one by one, telling her not to run around.

The outside world is treacherous; danger lurks everywhere!

Whether Qin Luo was afraid or not, he didn't know, but he wrote down all the terrible things he knew in the letter!
