When Zhou Quan returned with Chu Yan and Zhong Hui, the atmosphere inside the West Wing was very harmonious.

Li Mai and Yun Chang are playing chess, while Yu Ze and Nan Ling are playing with building blocks with Zhu Zhu.

I never expected that there would be building blocks here in Nanling. They are real wood blocks in various shapes and can be assembled into all sorts of patterns and designs.

Beside them, they had already put together a small wooden house and were still putting together other things.

When he arrived, carrying two paper packages, Li Mai instantly lost interest in playing chess. She reached out to take the package and asked him to give the other package to Nan Ling.

Zhou Quan smiled and handed her one packet, then passed the other packet to Nan Ling, saying, "Sister Ling, this packet was given to you by Xiaomai."

Nanling smiled and said thank you, stood up to take the basket, found two bamboo baskets, poured the roasted chestnuts into them, and placed them on the table. "Everyone eat together. Just put the shells in the other basket."

"My brother-in-law is really good to my sister. I didn't expect you to be able to find a family that sells roasted chestnuts at this time," Nan Ling said with a smile, glancing at Zhou Quan.

Yu Ze, who was standing to the side, was moved. He could also run all over the city to find the things she liked to eat.

If she gives him this chance, he will definitely treat her the same way.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Quan smiled and obediently walked inside to his side.

Li Mai smiled and simply poured the chestnuts from her paper bag into the mixture. "Let's all eat together!"

It's not the season for new chestnuts to ripen, and the dried goods vendors don't sell roasted chestnuts right now. Actually, Zhou Quan roasted these at home himself.

He can now control his spiritual fire to roast a chestnut for wheat without any problem.

One day, Zhou Quan roasted chestnuts for Li Mai, and Li Mai fell in love with them. She could feel a spiritual energy permeating the chestnuts.

Moreover, he was very meticulous; he cracked open each roasted chestnut, making them easy to peel and eat.

Li Mai asked Chu Yan and Zhong Hui if Lu Qian had gone back to sleep obediently.

The two men shook their heads, saying that after Lu Qian returned, he grabbed his parents and cried and complained that Xiao Tao ignored him and that he might not be able to find a wife in the future.

Li Mai and Zhou Quan exchanged a glance, chuckled, and lowered their eyes.

They stopped talking about Lu Qian and instead invited Yun Chang to eat chestnuts with them.

After Yun Chang finished eating, he was amazed at how delicious the food was. Despite his noble status, he had never actually eaten anything like it before.

After they ate for a while, Li Mai and Nan Ling went to play with Zhu Zhu, leaving the men to sit around the table and drink tea.

Yuze thoughtfully brought them over the roasted chestnuts again so they could eat them.

Then, the group chatted while Li Mai and Nan Ling peeled and ate chestnuts and fed Zhu Zhu, while the men drank tea and played chess.

During the conversation, Yuze learned that the young master of the Chu family and the young master of the Zhong family were actually Li Mai's apprentices.

When he first saw them here, he thought they were out sightseeing with the Cloud King, but now he realized they were here to visit their master.

Instantly, he became even more curious about Li Mai. This little girl didn't look very old, and these two young masters were about the same age, so how did she become their master?

However, seeing the respect the two people showed to Li Mai, the kind of respect one would show to an elder, he really didn't dare to ask.

She's not only the adopted sister of the Prince of Yun, but also the master of the young master of the Chu family, and the master of the only son of the eldest princess. This woman is no ordinary person. Now she's also the sister of the woman he likes, and with her formidable internal strength, he can't afford to offend her.

Yes, Yuze himself considered Li Mai's ability to control the tea in his cup as a sign of Li Mai's profound internal strength, enabling her to control objects from a distance.

Yu Ze now finally realized that Li Mai's test of him earlier was actually a sign of leniency.

Zhuzhu had a lot of fun and really liked the building blocks at Nanling's house.

Nanling called these things mortise and tenon blocks. After Limai said they were building blocks, Nanling nodded and followed her words, calling them mortise and tenon building blocks.

Nanling played with them for a while, then told Limai that she would find a box to pack them all up and bring them back to Zhuzhu. Zhuzhu could play with these things from now on.

Zhuzhu was overjoyed to hear this, and gave Nanling a big kiss to express her sincerest gratitude to Aunt Nan.

Nanling excitedly hugged her and kissed her, then quickly let go and turned her head to the side.

Holding Zhuzhu, she couldn't help but think of her own daughter, Juan'er.

Seeing that she was sad, Li Mai quickly changed the subject to distract her.

Yuze, who was drinking tea over there, glanced over here silently.

After dinner, on the way home, there were two wooden boxes. Zhuzhu happily sat on one of the boxes, holding her little darling, and asked her parents to help her move the building blocks to her aunt's room so she could play there.

Originally, when Li Mai and Zhou Quan lived here, they arranged for Zhu Zhu to live with them. However, when they went out to buy goods, Zhu Zhu moved in with Zhou Tao.

After that, Zhou Tao suggested that Zhuzhu should stay with her to avoid having to move around so often, and that Zhuzhu would have to move again when her brother and sister-in-law went out.

Putting everything else aside, Zhuzhu now has several boxes of her own clothes, toys, books, and jewelry, which are quite a hassle to move each time.

That evening, Zhou Tao was inside drawing a pattern of clothes that her sister-in-law had drawn when she suddenly heard Zhuzhu happily calling for her aunt in the yard. She quickly put down her pen and went outside.

Then, she saw Chu Yan and Zhong Hui each carrying a wooden box as they walked towards her house.

Zhuzhu skipped and hopped ahead, carrying Xiaopiaoliang. When she saw her come out, she happily shouted, "Auntie, look! These two boxes are toys that Aunt Nan gave me. They're so much fun! Auntie, you can play with Zhuzhu tonight."

"Okay, what is it?" Zhou Tao asked curiously, then quickly went to open the door for them and let them carry it inside.

After Chu Yan and Zhong Hui helped carry the items inside, they waved to Zhou Tao and went back to rest at Yun Chang's place.

Zhou Lei, who was studying, heard the noise and ran over to ask what was going on.

Zhuzhu had already happily opened the box and urged Zhou Tao to play with her on the tatami mat.

Zhou Lei found it fascinating and stopped reading, joining the two of them in playing.

Half an hour later, a courtyard house was built. Zhu Zhu raised her eyebrows at Xiao Piao Liang and said, "Xiao Piao Liang, tear down the house."

"Awoo!" Little Pretty yelled and jumped up, leaping onto the house they had just built and starting to dismantle it.

With a crash, the house they had built was soon dismantled into a pile of wooden blocks.

Zhou Tao and Zhou Lei exchanged a glance and burst out laughing together.

So this little cutie has this function.
