"Don't I know your future husband too? Alright, Holmes Ling, why are you so nervous? You're not even married yet, and you're already thinking about your sister-in-law. Aren't you tired?"
Yunling rolled her eyes at Xie Sinan and simply said:
"If you hadn't had ulterior motives before, would you have aroused my suspicion? Tell me, what exactly happened?"
"What do you mean, what happened? It's all your fault. I really didn't expect that people from the same place like us could be so uncoordinated."
Xie Sinan spoke of the past with resentment, and he also glared at Yun Ling before continuing:
"I thought you had been to Bianjing and knew it well, so you would have fled there during the siege. Therefore, as soon as I sensed something was wrong, I hurried towards the two towns below. But instead of running into you, I met the Lu family."
"It's good that we ran into the Lu family. I thought that given your relationship with Lu Yinghuai, he would surely take you with him when he escaped. But he just said that he didn't need to wait for you and that you would go to Yuecheng. Damn it, if it weren't for the lack of technology here, I would have really thought that he had spoken to you on the phone."
"I'm at my wit's end. I've already come all the way to the next two towns, and I don't know how to get to Yuecheng. Besides, if I try to sneak back to your house, you'll probably all be gone by then. Wouldn't I be stuck in the middle?"
"Fortunately, your future husband is a good person. He let me board the ship and go to Bianjing with him, saying that he would take me to find you later. But after escaping this calamity, another one came. That Lu Jiamin is like a ghost, pestering me to make a mille-feuille cake."
"She was so persistent that I couldn't resist her, so I went to Bianjing to find some materials and made it. I didn't expect it to be so well received by the Lu family."
When Xie Sinan mentioned this, his eyes were full of pride. After Yun Ling asked, "And then?" he crossed his arms, looking smug.
"I was thinking that if I opened a dessert shop like this in Bianjing, it would definitely be very popular with the people of Bianjing. Then I could make a fortune and truly settle down in this dynasty."
"I'll be coming with the Lu family this time, firstly to meet you, and secondly to show off my skills at your wedding banquet and see how the market for these desserts is."
Yun Ling smiled faintly and asked:
"What about all those websites of yours? Aren't you planning to continue operating them?"
Xie Sinan immediately shook his head and waved his hand, saying:
"I can't do it for now, and I can't do it either. Sigh, the situation is so turbulent right now, just like this time. Once things get chaotic, who will know what kind of internet you have? But running a dessert shop is different. I can escape anytime, and people will remember the desserts you make."
"That makes sense."
"Hey, are you still going to make those sanitary napkins and underwear?"
Yunling immediately shook her head and waved her hand, saying:
"I gave it to my second aunt."
Shessnan leaned back sharply, looking utterly incredulous.
"Are you serious? Your sanitary napkins and underwear don't exist in this era. You were so powerful before, and now you're just giving them away. Wouldn't that be a waste of your efforts? Good heavens, why don't I transmigrate into your brother? That way I can get good things without any effort."
Yunling was amused by these words and teased:
"There are many ways to make money in this world. For example, you can open a dessert shop and sell mille-feuille cakes. Can't you make money that way?"
"Hey, Yunling, don't ruin our friendship. Seriously though, you're not just thinking about marrying Lu Yinghuai and living a life of leisure, are you? That's not like the Yunling I know."
Yunling tilted her chin toward the herb garden and said:
"I'm tired. Right now, all I want to do is grow some herbs and raise bees."
"Planting medicinal herbs?"
Xie Sinan had noticed this medicinal herb garden earlier; it clearly stood out from its surroundings, but he hadn't expected it to be planted by Yun Ling, and so elegantly at that.
What is this tree?
"Oh, it's licorice."
Yunling responded without even thinking.
Xie Sinan's reaction was quite strong. He even used his fingers to pry open his eyelids, brought the licorice up close for a closer look, and then, somewhat incredulously, said:
"Isn't this licorice grown in Inner Mongolia and Ningxia? How come it's here too? The environment here doesn't have the temperature and rain control technology of later generations, so it's not suitable for the growth of licorice."
"Your licorice plant looks better than any I've seen in my later life. Do you have some kind of special ability, the ability to grow flowers and plants?"
Yunling's heart immediately jumped. She tried her best to control her expression, not wanting the person in front of her to see through her act, and smiled slightly:
"Don't think that just because I come from the apocalypse I have superpowers. We can all travel from the future, and strange things like this can happen, so why can't licorice appear in Yuecheng?"
"I guess I'm what my grandma calls someone with a water or wood element in their destiny. She said that people like me can grow any kind of plant well. I've been like this since I was a child, otherwise how could I make money by growing mushrooms?"
Xie Sinan wasn't surprised that mushroom farming could make money. After all, there were plenty of mushrooms in the area, and as long as you mastered the techniques, it wouldn't be a bad thing to be able to farm them.
However, he really didn't understand the licorice and the other medicinal herbs in the herb garden. But as he said before, if Yunling really had supernatural abilities, she would have made a name for herself long ago. Why would she need to stay on this mountain?
It seems they were just unfortunate transmigrators, without any special advantages, and had to rely on their own hands to make their way in the world. Yunling, being a woman, could marry a rich man and be done with it, while he had to struggle to earn money. It was truly pathetic.
What are you talking about?
Lu Yinghuai's appearance broke the dull atmosphere, and Yunling breathed a sigh of relief. She could not tell anyone about her supposed supernatural abilities except herself. Firstly, it would prevent jealousy and conflict, and secondly, it would prevent others from finding fault with her and ordering her to do things.
In this world, she has family ties and romantic love, but all of these are human beings. As long as they are human beings, they have emotions and desires. She can give her heart, but she cannot give up her life.
Xie Sinan turned to look at Lu Yinghuai not far away, clearly displeased. He let out a snort and said:
"Are you kidding me? We've only been out for a short while, and we haven't even kissed yet, and you're already out here. Do you have to be such a spoilsport? Don't you have any sense of propriety? You're supposed to be in business."
"What, you know that Lingniang and I kissed?"
Lu Yinghuai immediately retorted.
"Who asked you?"
Xie Sinan felt goosebumps rise all over his body. He glanced back at Yun Ling, then crossed his arms and left. He didn't want to provoke these lovers; they were terrifying.
