Compared to before, Qiao Lian'er's temperament seems to have changed.
No longer always playful and lively, he has become much more composed, as if he is acting mature beyond his years.
Qiao Lian'er was speechless. People said she was calm, but that was because her body was actually 27 years old.
A thirteen-year-old girl actually came to learn this.
She found it funny.
He touched his chin and said, "Well, that's a personal matter, I can't comment."
The more she acted this way, the more Qiao Lian'er believed that her leg condition was genuine.
After all, a girl like her doesn't like people knowing that she has a leg problem.
Although she suffered, every step she took was correct. When that time came, dawn would break, and she could step out of the darkness and welcome a new life.
The entire capital, and indeed the whole world, will praise and admire her; her family will be proud of her.
She has never harmed anyone before; this time she was just trying to steal some credit, which doesn't count as harming anyone.
Let's talk about another village girl. She should just stay here and be content with her fate. Why should she bear those undeserved merits? Those are things that were never meant for her.
Thinking this way, Qiao Lian'er felt even more at ease.
She smiled serenely and said, "I was being presumptuous. We are destined to be together. If I could have more in common with Miss Qiao, I would be very willing."
"You're willing, but I'm not," Qiao Lian'er thought to herself.
All the men of the Qiao family were at the camp, except for Qiao Dayong at home. In such a cruel ancient era, no matter what, a man had to stay at home.
Qiao Zhizhi drove the carriage, taking Feng Shi, Qiao Xi'er, and Ling Yin to Yongguan County.
At home, it took quite a while to unload and arrange the goods from the carriage.
"They've brought back so many things; they're practically emptying the whole house! The Chu family elders' kindness is truly touching," said Grandma Qiao.
Grandma Qiao even worried that such a large load of stuff would make the Chu family even more strapped for cash, as their situation was already not good.
"Next time, please be more reasonable. You can't ask for so much no matter what. The Chu family also needs to make a living."
"Grandma, don't worry, we've helped Grandpa and Grandma's family get their business up and running, so they won't be short of money in the future."
Qiao Lian'er then told everyone about the Chu family's herbal medicine shop.
In less than ten days, the Chu family's business had taken off. The Chu family members were surprised and thought to themselves that only Lian'er could have done such a thing.
"This is great news. Brother Chu can focus on his official duties, and your wife will have no worries," Old Man Qiao said with satisfaction.
Whether it's the Qiao family or the Chu family, their momentum is getting better and better, which makes people happy.
In the evening, everyone enjoyed Yuezhou-style chopped chili fish head and roast duck.
Everything was already prepared; just heat it up and it's ready to eat. A day's journey didn't affect the taste.
If it weren't for the fear of it spoiling in a couple of days, Old Madam Chu would have prepared several more portions.
After finishing her meal and washing away the dust of her journey, Qiao Lian'er took out the letter Pei Shijiu had written to her.
He placed his palm on it while eating sunflower seeds, and there were two plates of snacks.
In the outhouse of the Pei family in the capital.
Pei Shijiu squatted over the latrine, his handsome face flushed red, occasionally punching the wall of the latrine, both angry and helpless.
That's useless. Half an hour has passed and I'm still constipated.
