Yo yo yo~

There's some gossip going on!

It seems Shen Ziyu is hiding something from her, something she hasn't told her yet.

Sure enough, as children grow up, they start having secrets.

While thinking about how to avoid intruding on Cheng Qingyan's scar and mole, Yun Yue also thought about her niece, who was really disloyal.

He came out supposedly to take an old friend back to her hometown, but he actually learned to keep things from her.

They've really grown quite capable.

Shen Ziyu was somewhat surprised when she heard that Jiang Jiang was with Ruan Banxia. Was Jiang Jiang so attached to Ruan Banxia now?

He could feel Yun Yue's gaze sweeping over from the side, a gaze that held both inquiry and a hint of something ambiguous.

It suddenly made her feel extremely uncomfortable and she wanted to escape.

Yun Yue was the first to feel uneasy. Now that she knew Cheng Qingyan might be the person she was looking for, how could she not be excited and anxious?

She kept laughing it off, not letting herself be completely controlled by the itch that was constantly nagging at her heart, and she admired herself for that.

She wanted to speak up, to ask right now, to roll up Cheng Qingyan's sleeves and take a look.

The idea is good, but Shen Ziyu won't let her do it, and Cheng Qingyan probably won't cooperate either.

Yun Yue was inwardly agonizing, her fingers tracing patterns on the table: "Ayu~ I—"

Shen Ziyu shook his head: "Auntie must be tired from the journey. Brother Cheng, sister-in-law, is there a room for Auntie to rest first?"

Before Yun Yue could finish speaking, everyone present already knew, but they all tacitly refrained from mentioning it again.

Yun Yue didn't continue what she wanted to say, sighed, and gave up.

Cheng Qingyan thought to herself that this lady's expression was exactly the same as when she sometimes wanted to give up.

The face, condition, and height were almost identical to her mother's in this life, which gave her a faint sense of anticipation.

She inexplicably ended up here. Could it be that her mother is also in this time and space?

Too many regrets from her previous life, so she came here to make up for them? Although it sounds far-fetched, she is still looking forward to it.

Ye Lingyu led the group to the guest room, while Shen Ziyu and Cheng Qingyan only followed them to the outside of the room and did not go in.

There are still hundreds of people outside, waiting to be arranged.

It was almost noon, and with so many of them, what to eat, how to eat, and where to stay were all questions.

With Yun Yue entrusted to Ye Lingyu, Cheng Qingyan and Shen Ziyu can rest assured.

Those people outside still need Shen Ziyu or Yun Yue to give instructions and arrange their whereabouts.

Cheng Qingyan walked out side by side with Shen Ziyu. Shen Ziyu slowly asked, "How did she do after I left?"

Cheng Qingyan raised an eyebrow and replied in a less-than-friendly tone, "If you want to know, go and see for yourself, go and ask. Have you forgotten the way you came from here?"

Thinking that Ruan Banxia had fallen seriously ill because of Shen Ziyu, Cheng Qingyan felt somewhat angry.

Although it's true that matters of the heart can be forced, Shen Ziyu kept saying there was no possibility between her and Ruan Banxia while doing some unnecessary things.

She and her wife couldn't stand it anymore. They were clearly in love, but they had to make it look like a tragic separation.

I really don't know what that blockhead is thinking every day!

Her emotions were practically overflowing, yet she still claimed to be a straight woman.

You're kidding me!

Shen Ziyu didn't get an answer from Cheng Qingyan, and she was too embarrassed to actually go directly to Ruan Banxia.

The people outside the courtyard remained where they were.

Shen Ziyu selected some people to stay behind, and let the others drive the extra vehicles to live in the town.

Cheng Qingyan's house still can't have too many people. Putting aside the issue of food and lodging, the main problem is that it's noisy.

It's enough to leave Yun Yue and her personal maid here, and arrange for some people to protect them.

After making arrangements for Yun Yue, Ye Lingyu came to find Cheng Qingyan.

We need to eat lunch, and we need to agree on how many people we'll be cooking for beforehand.

Since she's a guest from afar and also Shen Ziyu's aunt, we must treat her well.

Shen Ziyu and Ye Lingyu helped prepare lunch together, but the main purpose was to ask some questions.

If her aunt didn't speak, she had to lay the groundwork first.

Perhaps it would be better if she said it.

After all, she had known Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu for a long time. She wouldn't say they were close friends, but they were at least good friends.

Cheng Qingyan was tending the fire, and she was steaming a lot of her favorite hairy crabs in the pot. She was steaming a lot today, so she wasn't afraid to eat them.

Ye Lingyu was washing vegetables, and Shen Ziyu was chopping vegetables.

The chopping sound on the cutting board was loud and clear.

While Cheng Qingyan was tending the fire, he was also talking to Jiang Jiang.

Cheng Qingyan: Jiang Jiang, what are you doing?

Jiangjiang: Aunt Hongyu is cooking, time to eat!

Jiangjiang: Father, why did you suddenly come looking for Jiangjiang today? Do you miss Jiangjiang?

Cheng Qingyan: Mm, I miss you. Your mother misses you too.

If Shen Ziyu hadn't suddenly brought Yun Yue over, she definitely would have let Jiang Jiang stay with Ruan Banxia for a few more days.

After all, Qixi Festival is just around the corner, and she wanted to have a romantic time with her wife.

Although I know that Qixi Festival is for praying for skills and has nothing to do with love, it is still a wonderful thing for girls to get together.

Jiangjiang: Father, are you coming to pick me up or will Aunt Ruan take me home?

Cheng Qingyan: Father, let me ask you first, is your Aunt Ruan happy lately?

Jiang Jiang: Aunt Ruan must be happy, she smiles every day.

Cheng Qingyan sighed. Silly child, human laughter often has nothing to do with happiness.

I didn't expect this ginseng spirit to understand human emotions much, after all, although she may be a thousand years old as a ginseng, she is only four years old as a human.

Don't expect a four-year-old child who has grown up surrounded by love to be able to read between genuine and fake smiles; that's beyond their capabilities.

Cheng Qingyan: Does Jiang Jiang want to come back? If so, have your Aunt Ruan send you back.

Jiangjiang: Father, if Jiangjiang still wants to come to Aunt Ruan's house, will you still send Jiangjiang there later?

Cheng Qingyan: Of course, when Jiangjiang misses your Aunt Ruan, your father will send you there again.

Jiangjiang: Yay! Jiangjiang is going to find Aunt Ruan right now and ask her to take me home!

Cheng Qingyan: Don't rush, don't rush, you can come back after you finish eating!

There was no response from Jiang Jiang. Cheng Qingyan called out twice, but still didn't hear a reply from Jiang Jiang.

This kid, I should have waited until after dinner to contact her!

In the kitchen, Shen Ziyu had stopped chopping vegetables and was standing next to the stove, preparing to cook.

Today, Ye Lingyu and Cheng Qingyan were just helping her out.

She's the head chef today; after all, only she knows the guests' tastes.

All that is known so far is that Yun Yue is Shen Ziyu's aunt. Shen Ziyu didn't say much about the specifics, and Cheng Qingyan and the others naturally didn't ask any further questions.

In this feudal society with its clear class distinctions, it's better to know less.

There's a saying that goes, "The less you know, the better."

Putting everything else aside, he should be able to live a longer life.
