Chapter 686 Old Fox vs. Little Fox

Su Nuan turned her head and looked at her, asking seriously, "Who do you think you are? You're meddling in my affairs!"

Bai Tong smiled awkwardly, "Ling Cang and I are getting engaged, and you're close to Ling Yun, so I'll be your sister-in-law."

Su Nuan sneered, "You can be anyone's sister-in-law, but you can't be mine. Don't flatter yourself."

At this moment, the little bit of friendship that Su Nuan had for Bai Tong completely disappeared. If she gave her face again, she was afraid that she would be riding on her head.

Bai Tong's face darkened, and he frowned and said, "You are an orphan now, and you need to rely on the Ling family for your living. If you don't respect me as your sister-in-law, you will never be able to return to the City Lord's Mansion again."

Su Nuan chuckled. What on earth did Bai Tong find out? Didn’t she know her status in the Ling family?

Ling Cang came over and frowned as he asked, "What do you mean by relying on the Ling family?"

Bai Tong immediately took Ling Cang's arm, asserting her sovereignty while showing off. She said proudly, "Brother Cang, the small building in the City Lord's Mansion will be our wedding room."

Ling Cang looked at Su Nuan in astonishment, "Don't you like that little building anymore?"

Su Nuan shrugged and said helplessly, "I like it, but your new wife wants to drive me away."

Ling Cang frowned and raised his hand to push Bai Tong away, "I don't have a new wife, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to drive you away."

Ling Yun snorted coldly, "Every blade of grass and every tree there was taken care of by me. If anyone tries to occupy this place, I will burn it down."

"Of course, I won't wake up the people sleeping inside when I set the fire."

Bai Tong shrank back, she heard the threat in Ling Yun's words.

She also hoped that Ling Cang would say something about Ling Yun to save her face.

However, Ling Cang said calmly: "You decide for yourself, just don't involve the main house."

Ling Yun nodded seriously, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to the main house."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Su Nuan, "Let's get to the manor as soon as possible."

Su Nuan nodded, "Okay."

She wanted to steal a house and then put it directly in the manor so that she wouldn't have to live in the city lord's mansion.

I didn’t think there was anything wrong with it before, but now that Bai Tong has said it, I feel a little uncomfortable.

The manor behind the cliff must be built as soon as possible, otherwise I will have nowhere to go if I have a quarrel in the future.

Ling Yun glanced at Su Nuan and saw a trace of loneliness in her eyes. This trace of loneliness was like boiling oil dripping on his heart, which was both painful and hot.

He comforted her, "Mom and grandma will both stand by you."

Su Nuan smiled slightly. Mrs. Xue and the old lady were both good people, and she didn't want to make things difficult for them.

After all, if there really is a rift between their own daughter-in-law and someone they have no relationship with anymore, they would definitely feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

Su Nuan set her eyes on the wall of the ghost town, but immediately dismissed the idea.

Forget it, let's not cause trouble here. After all, we are too close. If we piss them off, they will go to the north to cause trouble and we won't be able to handle it.

Old man Yin, who was watching the fun from the side, smiled and said, "Girl, the meeting gift has been given, shouldn't you give something to honor your uncle?"

Su Nuan rolled her eyes and asked with a smile, "That depends on what Uncle Yin likes. Tell me, delicious food, fine wine, or fragrant tea?"

She put both bracelets on her wrists and deliberately waved them in front of Bai Tong, with a smug expression on her face that could make people angry to death.

Bai Tong stomped his feet in anger and snorted coldly.

Her eyes flashed, and she grabbed Ling Cang's sleeve and shook it, "Brother Cang, don't you have a family heirloom? It should be passed on to your daughter-in-law, right?"

"Give it to me when you get back, so I can legitimately become the daughter-in-law of the Ling family."

Ling Cang said indifferently: "The Ling family's heirloom has already been given away, there is no share for you."

Bai Tong almost screamed, but she held it back and asked through gritted teeth, "Did you give it to Su Nuan?"

Ling Cang nodded, "Yes."

This straightforward answer made Bai Tong's face turn dark.

Su Nuan thought of the things that Xue and the others had given her, and she smiled and said, "Oh, they did give me a lot of things. Mother and grandmother will have to prepare a dowry for me in the future."

"If I were to marry into the family, they would even prepare the betrothal gifts for me. Now that I think about it, I'm really happy."

Bai Tong gritted his teeth, his eyes almost spitting fire.

She also realized that the situation was not in her favor at the moment, so she could only shut up.

Old Man Yin laughed and said, "Bring up all the good wine and good food. I can't eat the food inside."

It was obvious that this was not his first time in the ghost town and he knew what the food there looked like.

Using the backpack as cover, Su Nuan took out a lotus leaf chicken and a bottle of distilled glutinous rice wine.

"This is the best food and wine in my house. Please have some, old man."

Old Man Yin first took the bottle and pulled out the cork, and a rich aroma of wine immediately spread out.

He snapped the lid back on and asked with surprise, "Did you brew this wine?"

Su Nuan nodded, "Yes, I was afraid it would be cold at night this time, so I brought a small bottle to keep warm."

Old Man Yin looked at Su Nuan eagerly and said, "Do you know what I do?"

Su Nuan looked at the wooden boxes stacked behind him and shook her head, "I don't know."

Old Man Yin asked again, "Do you know about the Yin family in Wuwang City?"

Su Nuan continued to shake her head blankly, "I don't know."

Then she glared at him and said, "Why are you so nagging, old man? If you don't want to drink it, just give it back to me."

Ling Yun and Ling Cang looked at each other. They seemed to know the Yin family of Wuwang City, but they didn't say anything.

Bai Tong exclaimed, "The Yin family of Wuwang City? Isn't that the home of the Wine Immortal?"

After saying that, she looked at Su Nuan with a gloating look, "Your skills are embarrassing in front of others."

Su Nuan tilted her head and asked, "Wine Immortal? Do you have many kinds of wine at home?"

"Sorghum wine, corn wine, millet wine, sweet potato wine, fruit wine... There are so many kinds of fruit wine. How many kinds do you have at home?"

Old Man Yin blushed when asked, and said awkwardly, "My family only has sorghum wine and glutinous rice wine."

Su Nuan said disappointedly, "It's not even as much as mine. I waited in vain."

Old Man Yin's expression was particularly fitting of his surname. He looked at Su Nuan eagerly and asked, "Girl, you already call me uncle. Do you want to invite me to your home?"

Su Nuan glanced at Old Man Yin and said, "I don't even know your name. I don't want to invite a wolf into the house."

How could she not know that this old man's identity was extraordinary? Since he was from the Wine Immortal family, it proved that his family was engaged in winemaking.

If we can cooperate with him, the abundant grain in the north can be sold to him for making wine.

It’s not about pushing the brewing business outward, but large-scale industries are not allowed in the North right now, and wealth needs to be accumulated in the early stages.

After people in the north have enough money, we will develop some factory-like workshops and recruit people to work.

She looked at Old Man Yin with pretended vigilance, which made Old Man Yin laugh and cry.
