Looking into Cheng Huiling's bright eyes, Lan Shanqi couldn't help but have a thought.

It seems that being loved is more enjoyable than loving others.

Is this what it feels like to be loved?

It looks pretty good!

He actually started to like this feeling.

Cheng Huiling looked around at the people around her, then shyly hid in Lan Shanqi's arms, her cheeks flushing red.

Looking at Cheng Huiling's adorable expression, Lan Shanqi felt a little sweet.

He said with great affection, "You, come on, hurry up and go inside to change your clothes."

So he picked the person up and carried them horizontally in his arms, heading towards his own courtyard.

The young apprentices were completely dumbfounded. What were they seeing? Was this something they were allowed to see?

Their Valley Master is actually with his uncle, senior uncle, and senior sister.

And they even hugged each other.

The Valley Master even had a very doting look on his face, which was simply too shocking. Was this something they could discuss?

Lan Shanqi finally understood; this liking wasn't so bad after all.

It was already evening on Guan Zhiyue's side. The two of them, carrying the doll, slipped into the space.

Since they're all RVs anyway, once they close the door, who knows if they're actually inside?

At night, the couple takes care of all three children themselves, since they leave them in the space and nothing will happen to them.

The three children who drank the water from the space were all exceptionally precocious and intelligent.

Chang Le, who is over a year old, is currently crawling around on the grass in the space with her two little kids.

Guan Zhiyue and Li Qiji sat on the grass nearby, watching the three little ones grow like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, changing every day, which was very delightful.

"Hey, this is a letter from your second brother. I just received it this afternoon."

Guan Zhiyue reached out and took it, then opened it and exclaimed, "Wow, my older brother is actually marrying my sister-in-law!"

"Oh, really? Whose daughter is she?"

"The second daughter of the Minister of War."

"Is it from Lord Wu's household?" Li Qiji asked.

Guan Zhiyue nodded, and Li Qiji leaned over, glanced at her casually, and then said, "I remember that woman, she seemed to be in poor health."

"Yes, I've heard my second brother mention that woman. I heard she's sickly, but she's alright."

After she comes to our home, I'll try to take good care of her health and make sure she's healthy and active, giving birth to many more children for the Guan family.

Then he saw the Beijing Daily, which reported that Guan Chengzhuo had rescued a woman on his way back from the outskirts of Beijing that day, and that they rode together on one horse.

"It seems this story of fate begins here!"

"However, to be fair, the two of them are quite destined for each other. When my second brother told me about it..."

I hadn't even had a chance to summon that girl to the palace yet, and now the two of them have unexpectedly come together. It's truly fate.

Upon hearing Guan Zhiyue's words, Li Qiji smiled and nodded, "Yes, and your second brother has also developed feelings for He Jiao."

"It seems that everyone on this trip is quite distracted, isn't it?"

Li Qiji said.

Guan Zhiyue reached out and pushed Li Qiji. This guy was talking nonsense again. He was always being inappropriate.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Li Qiji grabbed Guan Zhiyue's hand and placed it against his heart, letting her feel his heartbeat.

He said tenderly, "Yue'er, you're blushing now, but I like the way you look with your face flushed, and I like it even more when you're panting."

Guan Zhiyue rolled her eyes and shoved Li Qiji, "Get out of the way, the children are still here!"

Li Qiji glanced at the three little kids playing happily nearby, a handsome smile curving his lips.

The alluring voice said, "It's alright. Although the grass spreads widely, I'll control the speed, and you control the sound."

The capital city.

Su Xu, dressed in white, was tracking a group of bad guys with his two subordinates.

These bad people used to be his mother's acquaintances, and they're the ones who killed her. Are they trying to kill him now?

He's not someone who can be killed so easily!

He took a day off today specifically to get rid of this person completely, otherwise things would continue like this.

The occasional attacks made him very uncomfortable, as he always felt like someone was watching him from behind.

"Young Master, are you alright?" Xu Qing rushed in from outside and saw that his young master was covered in blood.

Su Xu shook his head. "It's alright. Let's split up and chase them down. We must kill them all."

"yes."

Xu Qing led the guards away, and Su Xu searched the surrounding area alone.

This is an abandoned village. They tracked them down from the Grand Secretary's residence in the capital to this place, intending to wipe them all out.

His family was originally from an official family, and his parents passed away when he was very young.

He survived only because of his father's old subordinates, and his childhood was quite difficult.

Although he lives alone, he still faces many hardships.

"Su Xu, why do you have to keep pushing me like this?"

"Yes, we were indeed wrong back then, causing your father to suffer an injustice."

"Your mother was violated to death, but we had no choice in the matter!"

"If the previous emperor hadn't been so corrupt, we wouldn't have done such a thing!"

"If you have to blame someone, you can only blame that damned emperor. You should kill his son and then ascend the throne yourself."

A man in a black cloak stood there, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, his hands gripping a long sword tightly.

Upon hearing this man's words, Su Xu scoffed coldly, "Third Uncle, you really think you can have it all!"

"Back then, you yourselves harbored wolfish ambitions and wanted to seize power, and you even dragged my father into it."

He suffered this injustice for you, and my mother was also publicly shamed in front of a hundred people because of you.

"Having suffered such humiliation, you actually have the nerve to say I won't let you off the hook?"

"Where do you get the nerve? Are you the ones who won't let me go, or am I the one who won't let you go?"

"It's disgusting that my mother was born into your family!"

"Scum like you are truly a pest of the new world!"

Su Xu didn't want to say anything more. He simply picked up his sword and thrust it towards the man in black.

The man in black sidestepped, drew his sword, and immediately engaged Su Xu in combat.

"Su Xu, I'm trying to reason with you, why won't you listen?"

"What's wrong with you being the emperor yourself?"

Why should you compromise yourself to please someone else?

"Don't you like the Empress? Then if you become the Emperor, you can just marry her, right?" The man in black continued to persuade him.

Su Xu was surprised. How did this person know about his feelings, which he had hidden so well?
