"What's she doing here?" Feng Yue stood up abruptly, her face filled with undisguised annoyance. "Why isn't she at home packing her things? What is she doing here?"
Yuan Chenchen smiled and said, "Please invite her in."
Then he looked at Feng Yue: "Yue, you must know yourself and your enemy to win every battle. You have to figure out what she wants to do, or what her intentions are."
Feng Yue sighed and sat down: "I really regret it. I shouldn't have made trouble for myself!"
“You meant well, so it’s no wonder you’re like this,” Yuan Chenchen comforted her. “Besides, everyone else is good, and they can make the city a little safer. Don’t let one person kill the whole boat.”
Feng Yue nodded and said nothing more.
Soon, Qian Shao walked in. The environment in this courtyard was far superior to hers, with exquisite details everywhere, indicating that money was needed to build it up.
When she got to the backyard, she became even more dissatisfied. This yard was so big, yet they made her live in a small house, and she was still their junior sister! It was really too much!
However, when he saw Feng Yue and her group, his expression changed.
"Senior Sister! Brother Luo!"
Qian Shao quickly took two steps and came to Feng Yue's side. When he saw Chen Luo, his eyes lit up and he couldn't stop smiling: "Brother Luo, it's been a long time."
Chen Luo snorted and stopped talking.
Feng Yue frowned almost imperceptibly, then introduced Bai Han, Yuan Chenchen, and the others to her. Qian Shao quickly greeted her, then tentatively asked, "Is this Prime Minister Bai?"
"You know?" Feng Yue asked, somewhat surprised.
Qian Shao smiled and nodded: "On the way here, I heard about the Bai family being dismissed from their posts and the people's dissatisfaction with this matter. Prime Minister Bai and his sons have an excellent reputation among the people. I never expected to meet them."
"I just don't know why he was dismissed from office? Is he still able to go back?" Qian Shao's words silenced everyone.
Yuan Chenchen said calmly, "This is our business, so there's no need for you to worry about it."
Qian Shao smiled and said, "It's nothing. After all, you are my senior sister's friends, so you are my friends too. If there's anything I can help you with, just say so."
Yuan Chenchen glanced at Qian Shao and gave a curt reply.
Qian Shao then looked at Feng Yue and said, "Senior sister, I came to thank you. Thank you for allocating such a nice house to me. But I see that your house is so big, why don't I just move in here to avoid wasting the house? What do you think? After all, we are fellow disciples and grew up together."
Before Feng Yue could speak, Chen Luo said, "No need. The houses allocated to you are your reward for guarding the isolated city. Although our courtyard is large, there are also many people in it."
“I don’t mind! Brother Luo!” Feng Yue quickly said, “It’s okay if there are more people…”
“It’s us who mind you,” Chen Luo said irritably. “We gave you a place to stay, so why are you trying to squeeze in here? This is our whole family. If you offend us, even Yue can’t protect you!”
Qian Shao's face changed, and he looked at Chen Luo with a wronged expression: "Brother Luo, how could you treat me like this... You know me best, how could I have offended you, I..."
"Senior sister, please put in a good word for me..." Qian Shao grabbed Feng Yue's arm.
Feng Yue raised an eyebrow: "Didn't I give you your house? What kind of behavior is this? If you're not satisfied, then leave."
Feng Yue's words startled Qian Shao.
Qian Shao had always thought Feng Yue was easy to talk to and would never refuse anyone, but he had refused her son at the city gate the first time, and now he had refused her too…
"Senior sister, you, how have you changed..."
"Alright," Feng Yue interrupted her, "Let's go!"
Qian Shao glanced at Chen Luo with a wronged expression, his eyes conveying a sense of unspoken words.
Just as she was about to send him a flirtatious glance, Yuan Chenchen stepped forward, blocking their view.
Qian Shao paused slightly, a hint of unease creeping onto his face. He tucked a strand of hair behind his ear and said slowly, "Senior Sister, I'll leave now. Once I've finished tearing it up, I'll cook a feast for you and Brother Luo."
After saying that, he left without waiting for Qian Shao's reply.
Watching Qian Shao's retreating figure, Yuan Chenchen patted Feng Yue's hand: "Your junior sister is quite something!"
On the other side, Chen Lingfeng stood by the sea, staring at the passing ships, and finally saw a familiar figure.
"Ling Feng!"
The chubby boy on the boat waved his hands, shouting, "I'm here! I'm here!"
Chen Lingfeng was stunned when he saw Yang Zhi after three years. How could Yang Zhi have gotten so fat!
Yang Zhi jogged over and hugged Chen Lingfeng tightly: "Good brother! I've finally found you!"
Chen Lingfeng pushed Yang Zhi aside, looked him up and down, and whispered, "Are you poisoned? Why have you gotten so fat?"
Chen Lingfeng was taken aback, then scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "I wasn't poisoned. Huanglian showed me; I just ate a bit too much..."
“You have a lot of these, you’re like the bitter melon you were back then. If this doesn’t work, let Tuantuan take a look at you.”
As he spoke, Chen Lingfeng pulled Yang Zhi and ran towards Bai Tuantuan's courtyard.
"Miss, the Second Prince and the Second Young Master have arrived."
Ruotang hurriedly went inside to call Bai Tuantuan.
Upon receiving the news, Bai Tuantuan came out of her spatial dimension and went straight out: "Sister Ruotang, would you please bring me some snacks?"
In the courtyard, Bai Tuantuan stared at Yang Zhi with wide eyes: "You've been poisoned?"
Yang Zhi was speechless: "What's going on with you two siblings?"
"Come, come, let me take your pulse."
Bai Tuantuan quickly checked his pulse and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming he was alright: "You've gained too much weight in the last three years, you should lose some!"
Yang Zhi shrugged: "My mother always forces me to do this and that. I can only catch my breath when I'm eating, so I've gained weight. Now that I'm out here, I'll lose weight quickly!"
"By the way, do you have any news about Nanxiao?"
"What's wrong with Nanxiao?" Chen Lingfeng asked Yang Zhi with a puzzled look.
“I haven’t received any reply from him these days. Before I came here, I heard my father say that he ordered Nanxiao to lead troops to eliminate the bandits, and it seems that these bandits are not ordinary.”
"Never mind, he'll definitely write to me when he hears something." Yang Zhi waved his hand. "I'm too tired. Let's go, Lingfeng, I'll go to your yard and sleep for a while."
After the two left, Bai Tuantuan used her spiritual energy to sense Ning Nanxiao and found nothing amiss, which put her mind at ease.
"Is Miss worried about Prince Ning?" Ruotang asked with a smile.
Bai Tuantuan looked up at the smile on Ruotang's face and responded softly, "Yeah, I'm just afraid something unexpected might happen again. He seems to be more prone to accidents than others."
"His fate isn't very good, and his birth chart isn't very strong."
"Boom!"
A clap of thunder sounded, and Bai Tuantuan was taken aback: "Thunder on a sunny day?"
Ruo Tang was also taken aback for a moment, then said, "That's normal, Xia Rilei. We don't understand God's mood."
Bai Tuantuan nodded without saying anything, then turned and went back to her room.
Once inside the space, Bai Tuantuan looked at the trading panel, exchanged several kinds of Western medicine for healing, and then asked someone from Fengyue Pavilion to bring them to Ning Nanxiao.
