"If my cousin can be found, my uncle will be overjoyed and full of energy. If it is confirmed that my cousin is no longer here, my uncle will have to let it go and focus on his official duties."
This was the only thing he, as a junior, could do.
"You all eat, I'll take care of this."
As Wei Chi spoke, he placed a roasted duck leg in Gao Shuying's bowl and another one in Qiao Lian'er's bowl.
He drank two glasses of wine, ate a couple of bites of food, and then left in a hurry.
Seeing that Qiao Lian'er seemed to be quite affected, Gao Shuying smiled and said comfortingly, "Lian'er, this is your first time meeting the Chu family. Although Aunt Chu likes you very much, don't feel pressured. Just come and see them when you have time."
Those were her maternal grandparents. They ruined their future and family fortune for the sake of their lost daughter, and now they have no security left. How could she not be heartbroken?
“Sister Gao, Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu’s love for their daughter is truly touching, and their plight is also heartbreaking,” Qiao Lian’er said.
"There is so much suffering in this world. You are so young, don't think about it." Gao Shuying waved her hand.
"Come on, let your sister eat with you."
There was still quite a bit of food left, so Qiao Lian'er packed it up to take back to Da Meng.
Da Meng hadn't returned to the inn yet. Half an hour later, it was already afternoon, when he finally came back, covered in sweat.
"After asking around for a long time, I finally found a place that sells it. It's three streets away, and the location is just barely acceptable."
"Even so, several other people were still competing with me for the shop. I had to add thirty taels of silver to secure it."
Qiao Lian'er handed the packed dishes to the kitchen staff to heat up.
"Yuezhou City has a large flow of people. It doesn't matter if it's not the best location. It's good as long as we can get it."
"Brother Da Meng, you should try this. This is food I brought back from the biggest and best restaurant. I met Sister Gao and we've already eaten together."
Da Meng was starving, so he sat down and ate heartily, handing the house deed and land deed to Qiao Lian'er as he did so.
“We’ll go home tomorrow,” Qiao Lian’er said.
That was all she could think about; she simply didn't have the energy to care about anything else.
Moreover, she is not 100% sure yet and still needs confirmation from the Qiao family elders.
"Is everything done?" Da Meng asked.
"alright."
"So fast, little sister is amazing." Da Meng said, while also giving her a thumbs up.
For the remaining half day, Qiao Lian'er went on another shopping spree.
Yuezhou is such a big city, with so many new and interesting things to buy. There's never enough time to shop in the morning, but now I can finally go all out and buy whatever I want.
Everyone in the family bought ten outfits, 300 pounds of delicious snacks, a bag full of handicrafts, a beautiful headdress for each woman, and decorative items for each room.
Da Meng noticed that the things carried in the horse's saddlebag seemed to be much less than what Qiao Lian'er had bought, but he wisely refrained from asking.
When I arrived home by fast horse, it was just in time for dinner.
While everyone was in the kitchen, Qiao Lian'er took the items out of her spatial storage and placed them in the living room, piling them up into a small mountain.
"Yuezhou City is really big, dozens of times bigger than our county town." During the meal, Da Meng vividly recounted his trip to everyone.
"If you have the chance, you should definitely go and see it."
Qiao Lian'er, however, was secretly observing the two elders of the Qiao family and Qiao Yunni.
