Ling Qianyi held Yun Ying's hand, and the two sat beside a stream in the valley, basking in the sun. Ling Qianyi poked his feet into the water, kicking and splashing water.

"I used to laugh at Aunt Zhang who lived next to the private school. She was blind and could not see since she was a child, but she always kept the house clean and tidy. She was also a good cook. Her husband passed the imperial examination and became a minor official."

"I heard that a rich girl from a wealthy family was willing to marry him and support him in his career as an official, but he refused and did not want to be an official. He became a teacher in a private school and had a good relationship with Aunt Zhang."

“Also, when I was in school…”

He talked about this and that, sometimes laughing out loud, sometimes not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and talked about interesting things in the past.

"Yun Ying, do you still remember when my mother was pregnant with her second child, I ran away from home out of jealousy?"

"Now, my sister is almost six months old. She babbles all the time. She's so cute. Let's go see her next time we go home. My parents are also thinking about you."

"Rather than having a daughter, my parents are looking forward to having a grandson."

Yun Ying smiled and smiled, but the smile on her lips gradually froze and disappeared.

She lowered her eyes, pulled out a piece of water grass, held it in her hand, and broke it piece by piece, saying softly:

"Young Marquis, you are a good man."

"You will definitely live a long life..."

"Huh? What did you say just now?" Ling Qianyi turned his head, but the voice was too soft and he couldn't hear clearly.

Yunying just smiled and said nothing more.

When he wanted to ask again, she stood up on tiptoe:

"Empress Tong is here!"

He jumped onto the big rock, "Huh? Why is she still herding a flock of chickens?"

The woman, dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing jewelry, looked like a noble lady, but she was holding a thin bamboo in her hand and herding dozens of chickens, ducks and geese.

"Aunt Tong, what are you doing?"

Retire to the countryside?

Live a simple life with men farming and women weaving?

Princess Tong drove while shouting:

"Alilililili~~ Line up, don't run around, alilili~~"

"These are the local chickens, ducks and geese that Han Ying just bought for me. I bought them and raised them for two months. When they grow wild, they will eat the food that we feed ourselves. It is pure natural, pollution-free and nutritious."

Ling Qianyi: “…”

So patient.

Things that can be solved with money must be done with hands.

"Let me help you drive the chickens away."

"Don't come over here, my chicken is shy!"

As soon as Ling Qianyi approached, the chickens that were eating well saw the stranger and immediately spread their wings and ran around in fear.

“Don’t run!”

“Don’t run around!”

"You're not a phoenix, why are you flying so high!"

I tried to catch it quickly, but I couldn't catch it.

For a while, chicken feathers were flying everywhere...

The whole valley was in an uproar...

night.

Concubine Tong cooks the meals herself. The dishes are simple and not nutritious. In this isolated valley, she feeds the chickens and ducks, pulls weeds, and catches shrimps in the stream. Her time is filled with richness.

"My mother's cooking skills are really good." Qin Ye held the bowl and smiled with his eyes curved.

"This soup made from wild shrimps is good for calcium supplementation. Drink more." Concubine Tong served her a small bowl.

"Give my wife some too." Ling Qianyi raised his hand, "Aunt Tong, don't be partial. From now on, Yunying will call Qin Ye and also Auntie. We are a family whose blood is thicker than water."

He came forward with a clean, empty bowl.

"You are such a chatterbox, kid."

Concubine Tong was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and she scooped him a bowl of soup in a ridiculous manner.

Ling Qianyi chuckled and brought the shrimp soup to Yunying:

"Yun Ying, come here."
