"Xiao Yu..." Gu Yunru noticed that something was wrong with her and was about to try to counsel her, but saw a look of resistance on her face.

"Xiaoyu, your cooking skills have improved a lot now. However, I want to hold a peach blossom banquet and invite all the important figures in Qizhou City to come. This will also help spread the reputation of our Huajianlou. What do you think?" Gu Yunru said to her in a negotiating tone, but Xiaoyu still looked absent-minded and seemed not very interested in this matter.

"Boss, why did you think of me? I know my cooking skills very well. They are not as good as you say..." Xiaoyu took a deep breath, put the rag aside, and said, "Boss, thank you for your training these days, but I know my own abilities and am not suitable to stay in Huajianlou. Now that Huajianlou's business is booming, you should hire a more skilled chef."

"Are you serious? But I think no one else is more suitable to stay in Huajianlou than you. Everyone likes the taro cakes you make." Gu Yunru looked at her sincerely, but found that he still looked serious. It seemed that if she didn't remove the thorn in his heart, he would never stay in this place.

That night, when Rong Zhen came to the attic, he held Yaya tightly in his arms and refused to let go. Even though Yaya was crying loudly and had peed all over him, Rong Zhen still held her tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that the child would suddenly fly away.

"It's so late, let the child go to bed quickly and stop tossing him."

Gu Yunru felt heartbroken when she saw this. This child was not a toy, so how could he be treated so torturously by him?

"I want to take a good look at her. Look at how similar her eyebrows and eyes are to me!" Rong Zhen's eyes never left Yaya's face. Gu Yunru shook her head and couldn't help laughing, "She is so young, how can she have eyebrows? Don't be so self-indulgent."

"Really, really, my lady, I'm not lying to you, look, she's smiling at me!" Rong Zhen looked at Yaya and she actually laughed foolishly. Gu Yunru made a simple milk bottle so that she wouldn't have to be served by a wet nurse all the time and could also give the wet nurse a good rest.

"If you like taking care of children so much, I will let you take care of the child for a day tomorrow. I promise you will never want to do that again in the future!" Gu Yunru put the pacifier into Yaya's mouth. Yaya sucked it quickly. She looked so adorable with her chubby face.

"Great, I couldn't ask for more." Rong Zhen looked at Gu Yunru, who looked particularly charming tonight. Just as he was about to kiss her, Yaya in his arms started to make noise again, and Gu Yunru couldn't help but sigh.

The next morning, Shu'er and Ji Heng were preparing to return to the capital, so they came to say goodbye to them. Gu Yunru reluctantly held Shu'er's hand and said, "All good things must come to an end. Since you are going back to the capital, I won't keep you any longer."

"Well, aunt, Qizhou City will become better because of your presence."

"Um……"

After sending the two to the city gate, Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen's arm and sighed helplessly. Rong Zhen could sense her low mood and stroked her back and said, "Don't be too sad. The capital is where they should go."

"That's what the flowers say. I feel that there are fewer people. Next, I want to hold a peach blossom feast and invite all the important people in Qizhou City to participate. It will also promote the popularity of our Huajianlou. What do you think of my idea?" Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen with relish. Rong Zhen pondered for a while and nodded, saying seriously: "I think this is a good idea. I will take Ma Zi and others to the mountains to see if there are any rare species in the next few days."

"Okay, be careful about everything and take care of yourself." Gu Yunru looked at Rong Zhen reluctantly. They were finally together, and he was going to the mountain again.

Rong Zhen packed up his luggage and was about to go up the mountain with a few of his brothers. On the way, he saw a woman in a white gauze dress. The woman turned around and it was Shangguan Yurou.

"You go up first, I'll follow you later." Rong Zhen glanced at the men who were accompanying him. They nodded and passed by with an attitude of watching a good show. Shangguan Yurou took a deep breath, as if she had been waiting here for a long time.

"Rong Zhen, so your name is Rong Zhen." Shangguan Yurou had a light smile on her face. She mustered up a lot of courage to stand in front of him this time, just because she didn't want him to remember what happened that day and feel disgusted with her.

"Why are you here?" Rong Zhen looked around. They were already close to the forest, and it would be more or less dangerous for a woman to be here.

"I came to see you. You've been back at Huajianlou these past two days and haven't returned to your residence. There's also been some coldness between Xiaoyu and I. I really miss the time when the three of us went hunting in the mountains together. At that time, I carried a basket to hunt and you and I hid in the cave to avoid the rain. We were so simple and happy at that time."

Shangguan Yurou watched him speak out his true feelings, while Rong Zhen looked at him with resistance on his face, not knowing what he was going to say.

"I have let bygones be bygones for what happened that day. From now on, we are just strangers passing by. I felt guilty about what happened before, but after that life, we no longer owe each other anything."

Rong Zhen adjusted his attitude and spoke these words to her. His cold words were without any warmth, and every word struck Shangguan Yurou's heart. Shangguan Yurou took a breath, realizing that his attitude was already very strict.

"I understand. Let's say goodbye now." Shangguan Yurou looked at him reluctantly. Even though her heart was already filled with him, she had to learn to get rid of him little by little.

Rong Zhen went up the mountain and took out a crossbow. He could shoot hidden weapons with just one hand. Everything flying in the sky or running on the ground would fall into his sack. He and a few brothers would stay in the mountain for two days to get all the things together before returning to Huajianlou.

Gu Yunru was coaxing Yaya to sleep in the attic. After finally waiting for her to fall asleep, she was ready to breathe a sigh of relief and study the things for making nail polish, when she saw Xiaoyu standing at the door with a whimpering look on his face, as if he had something to say to him.

"Xiao Yu, come in if you have anything to say." Gu Yunru waved at her. Xiao Yu walked up to her with her brows lowered, looking like she was worried about something.
