"Oh dear, why do you keep saying things that are hard to understand? Why don't you stay a little longer? Look at my health, I can't see you off any longer. Come visit me often when you have time."
Qiao Zhiyi was too lazy to continue the pretense with Zhang Shi. Seeing her hypocritical and utterly deceitful face made her feel nauseous.
"Madam Duan, please take good care of yourself. Farewell."
Qiao Zhiyi left with An Le. At the gate, Duan Qi saw her off, never daring to look directly into Qiao Zhiyi's eyes. He simply lowered his head, his brows furrowed, and whispered in barely audible, "I'm sorry."
Qiao Zhiyi smiled and said, "We owe each other nothing now. Burn those letters I wrote to you. All your things have been returned to their rightful owners in the backyard. Go and get them yourself."
Duan Qi was stunned. He looked up and saw Qiao Zhiyi turn and leave without a trace of regret. His hand stretched out slightly, then froze in mid-air.
Ah, our fate has run its course.
The Yang family followed Anle back home. An Mancang looked at his youngest daughter, wondering what method she had used to get Yang to agree to abandon the marriage. Anyway, things had changed since she arrived, and Yang's attitude was different.
Meanwhile, Anle was being bombarded with questions from Madam Yang about the deal Anle was in.
Madam Yang warmly took Anle's hand and asked, "Le'er, what kind of business is this one that involves the government?"
This business deal is now related to her daughter's lifelong happiness and her two sons' future, so of course she has to take it seriously.
Anle was happy that Madam Yang had asked about it, saving her the trouble of finding an opportunity to bring it up herself.
“Aunt, you’ve been staying in Baicheng lately, so you’re unaware of what’s been happening in Jincheng. In Jincheng, in Linghe Town where we live, a sacred castle has suddenly appeared.”
The castle is now under government supervision, supposedly for business purposes. They plan to set up shops and businesses there, and naturally, that involves goods and commodities, which are the goods and commodities in my business dealings with them.
And coincidentally, the goods this time were clothes, which immediately reminded me of my cousin Zhiyi's extraordinary embroidery skills. I had often heard my older sisters and the others talking about how amazing Zhiyi's embroidery skills were.
Thinking about it this way, it's a good opportunity to help my cousin Zhiyi out. My older sister and mother are currently at home working on clothes.
Once the clothes are finished, I'll have my cousin Zhiyi embroider the pattern. The pattern has already been drawn, so I'm sure I can get my cousin Zhiyi to start embroidering it when we get back.
Once the embroidery is finished, and this dress becomes famous in someone's castle, Cousin Zhiyi's reputation will naturally spread as well.
"At that time, the government will definitely have to deal with Cousin Zhiyi quite a bit."
Yang was completely bewildered. "Le Wa Zi, what's going on? What castle?"
Baicheng is quite far from Jincheng, so it will take some time for news to spread.
Moreover, since the disaster struck Jincheng, few people have gone there, and news has been scarce. It will probably take some time before the news reaches Baicheng.
Those who know about Jincheng are only those in the surrounding cities, and they hear rumors about it.
So far, no news about the Jincheng Castle has been heard in Baicheng, and naturally, the Yang family is even less aware of it.
Hearing Anle's words, I felt somewhat confused.
Anle explained.
"This castle! It's the royal palace castle in the capital city of the Kingdom of Islael, just like that."
In short, it happened in a rather bizarre way, and the people in Jincheng have made it sound like a myth.
Now that a castle has appeared in Linghe Town, the whole of Jincheng is quite lively. I heard that all the major families and noble clans from the surrounding cities have gone to join in the fun.
"If the commercial street starts doing business there, it will definitely be even more lively." After saying this, he quickly gave Yang a brief explanation of the whole process.
"Oh, right, Auntie, you don't know yet, but all the shops in Linghe Town, Jincheng, where we used to live, have been demolished. We've moved to Hongcheng to stay temporarily."
Now, a castle has sprung up in the area where Linghe Town was demolished and rebuilt, and it was later called Linghe Commercial Street by the government.
The residents of that area have all moved away, but they can move back later. We'll be living near that castle then, and there'll be plenty of excitement to see!
"What? They moved...moved to Hongcheng?" Yang was completely bewildered.
Yang was dumbfounded, but Qiao Qiusheng didn't react much. He had already mentioned these things to An Mancang and Le Wazi back at the inn.
He had already been shocked beforehand.
Yang didn't stay at the inn, so she wasn't with them and had little contact with them, so they didn't talk much. Anle never mentioned this matter to Yang and her daughter.
Because Yang and her daughter were focused solely on the Duan family's marriage at the time, they had no interest in listening to her talk about this or that.
Moreover, Qiao Zhiyi was in poor health and bedridden. Afraid of disturbing her rest, they would only chat for a few minutes and then leave, not daring to stay any longer. So, she had even less of a chance to bring up these matters.
Originally, I planned to tell them about these circumstances after the Duan family's affairs were settled.
Since Yang was still processing these unexpected changes, Anle didn't continue, waiting for her to slowly process and accept these immense surprises and joys.
Whether Yang was happy or not is unclear, but for her, it was happiness.
Now that Cousin Zhiyi's matter has been resolved, the next step is to embroider the clothes. Everything is developing in a positive direction, and everything is proceeding step by step according to her plan.
Once we get back, we'll be able to welcome the grand opening of Linghe Commercial Street.
Qiao Zhiyi was also stunned for a while, but after the initial shock, she reacted much faster than Yang Shi and asked in astonishment.
"Little cousin, so are we no longer staying at the old Paradise Dessert Shop?"
"Yes, we've already moved to the mansion in Hongcheng." She originally wanted to find a place nearby in Jincheng, but when she thought about how she was going to renovate the entire city of Jincheng, and how it would be too inconvenient to keep moving around, she decided to go to the neighboring Hongcheng and asked Yu Rong to find a house.
Then they settled down in the former city lord's mansion in Hongcheng.
