In fact, she should thank the Ye family for this.
But does the Ye family really have the guts to hit Wang Shuo?
It was already evening when Wang Shuo was brought back by the Liu family servants.
After returning to the Liu family, Wang invited a doctor.
"Madam, your brother is fine; it's just some superficial injuries. He'll recover in a few days," the doctor said respectfully.
Wang nodded. "A reward."
The maid followed the doctor out, leaving only Wang Shi and Wang Shuo inside the room.
"Stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!" Wang Shuo kept screaming in his nightmare.
Wang looked at him with disgust and slapped him across the face.
Wang Shuo suddenly woke up, and as soon as he saw Wang Shi, he threw himself at her, crying, "Sister, sister, save me, save me!"
Wang pulled him away and slapped him across the face again.
"Sister, you actually hit me..." Wang Shuo covered his face in disbelief.
"I'll send you back to Shuzhou right now. Go tell your mother that the Ye family is untouchable, don't you know that?" Wang said coldly.
"The Ye family? That braised food stall actually belongs to the Ye family?" Wang Shuo's eyes widened.
"Fool!" Wang Shi didn't bother to look at him anymore and turned to walk out of the house.
Wang Shuo lowered his hand blankly, his heart turning cold.
That's it, his father will skin him alive.
On the other hand, after selling the two buckets of braised goods, the Ye family took an oxcart back to their home in Qingshui Village.
"Selling so fast today, little sister, should we really not prepare more braised food to sell?" Sun was busy making clothes.
Ye Panjiu shook her head. "If we sell too much, it might not sell as quickly. And it would be too tiring to sell any more."
She didn't want to burden the Ye family.
“What’s tiring? This is much easier than farming,” Sun said with a smile.
It's easy and you earn a lot.
"Is Ye Panjiu here?" A young man's voice came from outside the door.
Old Man Ye, who was closest to the door, prepared to open it.
Ye Panjiu quickly stepped forward. "Father, I'll go take a look."
When the door opened, she smiled at the person outside, "Long time no see."
Yan Yu hurriedly bowed and presented a letter, saying, "This is a letter from the master; please accept it, young lady."
Ye Panjiu raised an eyebrow and accepted the gift. "Thank you for today, and please also thank your elders for what they did at Bailu Academy."
Yan Yu shook her head. "Miss, you should tell the adults face to face."
He has a poor metabolism.
Ye Panjiu didn't say anything. "Alright, how has your husband been lately?"
Yan Yu nodded, then shook her head, seemingly lost in thought.
Ye Panjiu: "..."
Yan Yu frowned and said, "My lord has recently been seriously injured by the gold mine incident, and has to be extremely careful every day, which has made him very tired."
Ye Panjiu didn't believe it at all. "Su Yan told you to say that, right? I received the letter. Please wait a moment while I write a reply."
Yan Yu nodded silently, "I'll be near the shop tomorrow, so you can give it to me then, miss."
After saying that, Yan Yu left.
Ye Panjiu picked up the letter and read it.
As expected of the exceptionally talented Prime Minister Su, look how meticulously he used the sealing wax; he even managed to imprint a heart shape.
The small letter, infused with a fragrance that had been steeped for who knows how long, exuded a rich and intoxicating scent of gardenias.
Ye Panjiu put the letter into her sleeve pocket and went inside.
"Daughter, where's the letter?" Old Man Ye asked curiously.
"That person misread the name and sent it to the wrong person," Ye Panjiu said without batting an eye.
Sun nudged Ye Erniu's arm and said, "Let me tell you, it must be the letter that Ming'er's senior brother sent earlier."
Upon hearing this, Ye Erniu was about to step forward and ask for clarification. He felt that this man had ill intentions, and his younger sister could not marry again.
Sun grabbed him and said, "Where are you going? Stay put. Your little sister hasn't said anything, and you're already meddling!"
Ye Erniu pursed his lips and remained silent.
With a smile on her lips, Ye Panjiu took the letter into her room and closed the door behind her.
Ye Taohua and Ling'er are still at the academy and haven't returned yet.
The letter paper is made of the finest Chengxintang paper, which is tough, smooth, white as jade, and exudes a faint fragrance.
"I hope you are well when I receive this letter. I look at the sun and moon, and hear the wind and embrace the morning. I wish you peace and tranquility."
Su Yan writes excellent running script, with bold and vigorous strokes that flow like dragons and snakes, yet beneath the sharp strokes lies a profound tenderness.
Ye Panjiu raised her hand and carefully traced the ink marks; this letter was indeed written with care.
Su Yan only wrote a small part of the Chengxintang paper, so Ye Panjiu neatly cut off the other half with scissors and started writing.
Before she finished writing on one side, she turned it over and filled the other side with about 70-80% of the writing as well.
After finishing writing, the two sheets of paper were placed side by side. Su Yan's handwriting was not inferior to her slender gold script, which shows how hard she worked.
Instead of continuing to use Su Yan's envelope, she went outside.
"Oh my, little sister's out." Madam Sun smiled and winked at Ye Panjiu.
Ye Panjiu was both amused and exasperated. "Second sister-in-law, could you sew an envelope for me? Just use that piece of moon-white cloth."
Sun put down the clothes she was holding, picked up the pale white cloth without saying a word, and began to prepare to cut it. She then asked with a gossipy look, "Little sister, how big of a letter did you write? How big of an envelope do you need?"
Ye Panjiu held out her hand, "This size is fine."
Sun's scissors moved quickly, and she was muttering to herself, "Looks like I didn't write much. That's why I can't write too much. A man needs to be kept in suspense."
Ye Panjiu sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? He was the one who helped resolve the trouble today. I just wrote a letter to thank him. What manly stuff? I didn't have that thought."
Mrs. Sun clicked her tongue twice, "Poor thing, craning their necks to wait, only to receive a thank you. Sigh."
Ye Panjiu felt that this was completely inexplicable, so she turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law Lotus!" came the call from outside the door from Matchmaker Li.
Ye Panjiu quickly opened the door again, "Grandma Li."
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Lei immediately put down the firewood and rushed out of the kitchen.
Sun's hands flew as she threaded the needle, her eyes already fixed on Matchmaker Li. "Mrs. Li, is there any news about the horoscope?"
Matchmaker Li's eyes narrowed with laughter, "That's right, it's a marriage blessed by the heavens! Lei'er and Jiaojiao will be free from illness and disaster after their marriage! They'll live a harmonious and peaceful life together!"
Ye Lei breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the stool.
Mrs. Sun could hardly bear to look at her son's pathetic state. "That's really great news! Does the Wang family know about it?"
Matchmaker Li lightly flicked her handkerchief, "Butcher Wang was overjoyed, saying that the Heavenly Doctor was truly amazing!"
Mrs. Sun quickly asked the most important question, "Did he say how much the bride price would be?"
Ye Panjiu served Li, the matchmaker, a cup of tea.
Matchmaker Li gave Ye Panjiu an approving look, then picked up her teacup and took a sip.
She's been talking so much, she must be thirsty.
"I asked, and Butcher Wang just said to give whatever you think is fair."
Ye Panjiu paused, realizing this might be the most difficult part.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun raised her eyebrows. "Give it to me based on what? What do you mean by 'based on what'?"
Grandma Ye looked at her loud and boisterous second daughter-in-law and sighed, "Sister Li, tell me, how much is the typical bride price for marrying a girl from town these days?"
