Hearing the children's behavior, Chen Ahfu felt distressed. He asked, "Are they still in the east wing?" Seeing Wang nod, he said, "Let them come to the door and I'll talk to them."

Wang agreed and went to call the children over. There was a sound of footsteps and Dabao's loud voice, "Mother, mother..."

Occasionally, Chu Hanyan could be heard sobbing.

Zeng Xiaoqing opened the bedroom door, but Wang blocked the door and refused to let them in.

"I want my mother..."

"I want my aunt..."

After Dabao and Aunt Chu Han finished shouting, they started crying loudly again.

This was the first time Chu Hanyan had opened her voice loudly in the past few days. Even though she was crying, it made Song's mother, who was following behind her, feel relieved. The whole family was terrified, fearing that her sister would be stimulated and return to the past.

A Lu called "Sister" with tears in his eyes.

Chen Ahfu looked at them sideways. Dabao's face was pointed, and Miss Chu was crying pitifully. She whispered, "Dabao, Jie'er, A'lu, be good, don't cry, I'm almost well. I'll take you out to play after I'm well. Now, go to the east wing, so I don't pass the disease on to you."

Wang and Song forced the children to leave the west wing. When they reached the east wing, they could still hear Dabao and Yan'er crying.

From that night on, Chen Afu would go to the space every night. Not only did he smell the spiritual energy inside, he also had the honor of eating a green bird's nest as big as an eye booger.

When she excitedly raised her index finger to take the tiny dot off the golden swallow's small pointed beak and put it on her tongue, she immediately felt an unprecedented sweet taste spreading on the tip of her tongue, and then her lips and teeth were filled with that taste. She was so happy that she almost cried.

She even didn't care about Jin Yanzi's scolding.

Jin Yanzi rolled her eyes and scolded her, "Stupid, if you feel you are not feeling well, you should go into the space. Drinking that ginger soup is useless. If you die, I don't know where I will be thrown to. I like this place. Outside the space, there is almost nothing more powerful than this place. I don't want to go to the world of immortal cultivation and the world of fantasy. There are too many monsters there..." She kept chattering and scolding.

At this time, the golden swallow was not cute at all. It was more noisy than a sparrow and even uttered dirty words.

Chen Ahfu explained in a good-tempered manner, "I was dizzy at the time, so I couldn't react. Okay, okay, stop scolding me, I get it."

After scolding enough, Jin Yanzi covered her mouth with her wings and chirped, "Mommy, I feel that you and Daddy Chu are closer. What separates you is not a chasm, but a small ditch that you can cross with one foot. It's only been a short time, and Daddy Chu is so good to you. When you were sick, Daddy Chu was so worried. Oh my, even if I didn't see it, I could feel it, and I must be jumping happier than a sparrow. Chirp, he passed my test."

Comparing Chu Lingxuan to a sparrow would make him so angry that he would die if he heard it.

Chen Ahfu rolled his eyes at it and said angrily, "Even Daddy has mentioned it, and you still call him Daddy."

"What is daddy?" Jin Yanzi asked puzzledly.

Chen Afu ignored it and flashed out of the space.

Dabao was not there, and she did not draw the curtains. The bright moonlight from outside shone through the window paper, making the room dim.

She was not a simple little girl, so she could naturally feel Chu Lingxuan's unusual kindness towards her. She was not a little girl who had not experienced the world, so she would foolishly accept the kindness that did not belong to her. The hurt in her previous life was still vivid in her mind, and she did not want to be a Cinderella in this life and try to get close to the unattainable prince.

Chu Lingxuan and the Chu family valued her because of Chu Hanyan. When Chu Hanyan's illness was completely cured and she returned to the aristocratic circle in the capital, she would lose her value.

Even if she was recognized by Chen Shiying, or even registered under the name of Mrs. Chen Jiang, her status could never be worthy of Chu Lingxuan.

Chu Lingxuan was in an awkward situation. The Chu family would definitely prefer him to find a noblewoman with a similar family background who could check and balance Princess Rongzhao and keep his title.

Besides, she didn't want to get involved in the Chu family's family fight. The death of Chu Hanyan's biological mother was not that simple...

It was all Jin Yanzi's fault. Her words were like a small stone hitting the sea of her heart, causing ripples and making her unable to calm down.

Jin Yanzi had said those things before, but she didn't react at all. But now... could it be that she was also moved?

Thinking of this possibility, she forced herself to think about the scene in her previous life when Liu Xudong introduced his fiancée to everyone, the pity in those people's eyes when they looked at her, and the tragic scene when she was driving with tears streaming down her face and was crushed under a truck...

Those scenes flashed before her eyes like a movie, and the slight throbbing she had felt before was completely suppressed... Her mood finally calmed down.

She got up, lit a candle, and took out the letter from the small drawer beside the bunk bed.

This is the letter Luo Mingyuan wrote to her.

Wang said that Luo Yuan came back on the ninth day of the first lunar month and brought back two letters from Luo Mingyuan. One was to Xu, the former shopkeeper of Xile Restaurant, and the other was to Chen Afu. In addition, he brought some gifts for Dabao, Yan'er, Alu, and the two grandsons of Luo's manager.

Chen Shi and his family returned to Dingzhou Prefecture with Chu Lingxuan and Doctor Huang on the 11th after learning that Chen Afu's condition had improved. A shopkeeper, three cooks, and three waiters from the former Xile Restaurant were willing to follow Chen Shi to work at the Xinglong Restaurant in Dingzhou, saying that they would rush to Dingzhou immediately after finishing their family affairs.

In the letter, Luo Mingyuan agreed to share the Nine Flavors Marinated Recipe and the Gold Series Recipe made with "Xikang" that he had bought with Xinglong Restaurant, without Chen Afu having to pay for it. He said that the hot pot business was so good that he didn't want to do other businesses anymore. Then, he wrote a lot of business matters and his recent situation. Finally, he praised Dabao like a flower, saying how much he liked Dabao and that his two children also liked Dabao very much.

The last part is very abrupt. It feels like if Dabao was ten years older, he would let Dabao be his son-in-law. Thinking of Yang Qian, he might have this intention. After all, the ancients liked to arrange marriages for children.

Yang Qian is a lovely child, but Dabao seems to have a better relationship with Yan'er... Chen Afu will not let Dabao be trapped at such a young age. Let Dabao worry about these things in the future.

Perhaps, Yang Mingyuan has another intention when he points to the east and hits the west?

It is possible indeed!

Yang Mingyuan was born into a merchant family. He was doing well in business, looked good, and seemed to have a good temper. But she didn't seem to have any other feelings for him, just a business partner. Besides, he would definitely not come to her house...

Well, just consider him as a backup candidate first.

Chen Afu thought about it for most of the night before he fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next day, Xue Dagui and Chu Xiaoniu were asked to hire people to reclaim the newly purchased five mu of wasteland. Construction of Fuyuan began again, and Luyuan could hear the noisy sound clearly.
