"I'll eat it, I'll eat it." Shen Yuhe couldn't stand it anymore, so she picked up the braised pork and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Slow down, slow down, don't choke. If you like it, Second Aunt will make it for you every day." Zhu Yulan, with tears on her face, gently stroked Chen Yuke's hair, and finally a kind smile appeared in her eyes.
Even though they had witnessed how she treated Shen Yuhe before, Mu Hanyan and others couldn't help but feel sad when they saw this tender scene.
It's so touching. Why doesn't this woman go sing? She's such a great actress.
After dealing with Chen Yuhe, Zhu Yulan took the time to apologize to Mu Hanyan and the others. Her sincere and heartfelt acting, coupled with the tears of shame in her eyes, made Mu Hanyan and the others sweat profusely. They even told them that it was just a trivial matter and they didn't need to take it to heart, and they had forgotten it long ago. Only then did they barely avoid Zhu Yulan's tearful attack.
After causing trouble for Mu Hanyan and the others, Zhu Yurong took Shen Yuhe's hand and talked about the old stories of the Gu family. Although her tears were fake, the old stories were real. After a long talk about the bittersweet past, Shen Yuhe shed a few tears.
The originally joyful dinner was filled with sentimentality because of Zhu Yulan's "true feelings". Mu Hanyan and others were so anxious that they waited until the end of the dinner. Finally, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master of the family, I will send Yuhe and several adults to the guest room. You should go to bed early." After the meal, Zhu Yulan took the initiative to say. Until now, she was still holding Shen Yuhe's hand, looking reluctant to leave, and she was even closer to her than her own mother.
"Go ahead." Gu Qingyang said with a snort.
Zhu Yulan was snobbish and sarcastic, but she had a good heart. She'd been managing the household for years, and she hadn't done anything disloyal. He knew that. Regardless of the truth of what he'd just said, it wasn't a bad thing for a family to live in harmony. It was better than glaring at each other all day long.
"Yuhe, Second Aunt comes from a poor family and doesn't have much knowledge. She actually mistook the five-colored soul beads for glass beads. Please don't laugh at Second Aunt." After sending several people to the gate of the yard, Zhu Yulan said with a face full of shame, rubbing her hands.
"How could I laugh at Second Aunt? Actually, I've never seen a relic soul bead before." Shen Yuhe said this, and suddenly understood. She took out a relic soul bead and handed it to Zhu Yulan, saying, "Second Aunt, this relic soul bead is for you. Don't despise it."
"How can I do this? You need it for your cultivation. What will you do if I give it to me? You'd better keep it for yourself." Zhu Yulan's eyes were shining, but she pretended to be embarrassed.
"Yes, Yuhe, what your second aunt said makes sense. She loves you so much, how could she have the nerve to waste your cultivation resources? You should keep them for yourself." Mu Hanyan followed up her words.
After being sensationalized by this woman all night, she missed her relatives in the Holy Court Continent and her friends who were stranded in the void and didn't know whether they were alive or dead. She didn't even have a good meal. This was a good opportunity to take revenge and make her regret it when she returned.
Unfortunately, Mu Hanyan's wish was dashed. She underestimated the woman's shamelessness.
"After all, it's Yuhe's kindness. I don't know how sad she would be if I don't accept it. I will accept it, I will accept it." Before Mu Hanyan could finish her words, Zhu Yulan snatched the colorful soul bead from Chen Yuhe's hand and hid it in her pocket at lightning speed.
"Yuhe, it's getting late. You should all go to bed early. Second aunt will make you something delicious tomorrow. Come over early." Then, as if afraid that Shen Yuhe would go back, he twisted his waist and turned around and ran away.
There was no trace of reluctance or sadness in that bright smile.
After witnessing Zhu Yulan's face-changing magic again, Mu Hanyan and others were stunned.
"Yuhe, your second aunt... is a talented person!" Sikong Qinglan thought for a long time before he came up with a suitable description.
"I thought I was shameless enough, but there are people who are even more shameless than me." Ling Baobao also had a look of emotion on his face.
"I'm sorry to have made a fool of myself as your second aunt..." Shen Yuhe sighed, too ashamed to say anything.
"There are so many things like this happening among wealthy families. Don't think too much about it. In fact, your second aunt is just a little mean. It's not a big mistake. You haven't seen anyone who is truly despicable and shameless yet." Mu Hanyan said indifferently.
The real infighting among aristocratic families is far more terrifying than this. Even those who were part of the former branch of the Mu family in Black Stone City were much more ruthless than Zhu Yulan, so Mu Hanyan really didn't take her seriously.
After returning to the room, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
Mu Hanyan closed the door and took out the recipe for the Phoenix Nirvana Pill. She wanted to use the Phoenix Nirvana Pill to extend Ye Yian's lifespan. Although she could ask Gu Qingyang to do it for her, since someone had even given her the recipe, there was naturally no need to trouble others. She could also take this opportunity to familiarize herself with the alchemy techniques of the Continent of Gods.
It took over an hour to memorize the entire recipe and refining technique. Mu Hanyan tried practicing it, and the technique wasn't too difficult for her. With the aid of the Chaos Skyfire's spiritual power, she knew that refining the elixir wouldn't be difficult. The most troublesome thing was the more than 30 medicinal herbs. While each one was not particularly rare, finding them all was not easy, and they were not cheap. At least Mu Hanyan definitely didn't have enough silver on her.
Anyway, the worship ceremony will not start for two days, so I can take this opportunity to go to the city's Chamber of Commerce auction to sell the relic soul beads and see if I can collect all the necessary herbs. Mu Hanyan thought secretly.
Nothing happened that night. At dawn, Mu Hanyan had breakfast and walked out of Gu's house with Shen Yuhe and others.
Gu Qingyang was arranging for his servants to send out invitations. He was supposed to host a banquet that evening to entertain the heads of various families who had ties to the Gu family and was asking them for help. Mu Hanyan knew that the old man was about to slap someone in the face and vent his anger, so she didn't bother him.
"Yuhe, you should be familiar with Tianyang City, right?" Mu Hanyan asked Chen Yuhe as they walked.
It is not easy to sell a large number of the relic soul beads in her hands, and it is even more difficult to purchase all the more than 30 kinds of medicinal herbs as soon as possible. She knows nothing about Tianyang City, and she can't ask everyone she meets.
"I'm quite familiar with the streets and alleys of Tianyang City, but I don't know much about the Chamber of Commerce and the black market." Chen Yuhe said embarrassedly. Mu Hanyan briefly mentioned today's arrangements during breakfast, but she was only ten years old when she left Tianyang City. How could a little kid like her care about the Chamber of Commerce and the black market?
Mu Hanyan glanced at Wen Gaoren again. Even Chen Yuhe was like this, let alone Sikong Qinglan. She could only rely on Wen Gaoren.
"If it's Lingyu City, it's okay. But I've only been to Tianyang City twice, and I'm not very familiar with it." Wen Gaoren was really looking forward to the opportunity to show off in front of Mu Hanyan, but unfortunately, he had spent most of his life on the art of formations. Apart from the small piece of land of Lingyu City, his understanding of other temple main cities was really limited.
"This is a bit troublesome." Mu Hanyan began to miss the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. In the past, she didn't need to worry about such things. She could just give an order and everything would be done properly. She didn't even have to show up.
"Master Priest, you got up so early. Why don't you rest for a while longer? Where are you going?" Zhu Yulan trotted over and said to Mu Hanyan with a flattering look on her face.
