Yue Sheng casually picked up a grass insect and looked at it carefully: "It's amazing that cattail can be woven into such a small thing."
Pu Wenqing said with a smile, "There are so many interesting things in South Vietnam. Let's take our time exploring."
"..." Watching Yue Sheng chatting and laughing with the other man, it was as if he saw them in the past. Once upon a time, they had also enjoyed drinks and chatted like this; once upon a time, they had also agreed to travel the world and admire the beauty of the world. Now, she had someone else by her side, and he had nothing to offer her. Rather than meeting in silence, it would be better to leave and save herself from so much worry.
Yue Sheng didn't know Yan Shaoqing was watching him from a distance, nor did she see his lonely back as he left. After the waiter brought all the dishes, the three of them ate and chatted. As they talked, Yue Sheng still strayed from the topic.
Yue Sheng asked, "By the way, is there any news on the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
Pu Wenqing said, "Young Master Yan was indeed taken to South Vietnam by Yan Chongmao, but when I sneaked into the mansion that day, I heard that Young Master Yan had run away from home. Yan Chongmao doesn't seem to know about this yet."
Yue Sheng frowned slightly, and without saying anything else, he only said: "Let our people pay more attention and help if they can."
Huaping slowly put down her bowl and chopsticks. On the way, after hearing that Yan Shaoqing had suddenly disappeared and reappeared in South Vietnam, Yue Sheng, despite her own discomfort, decided to come to South Vietnam. She said she was going to collect folk songs, but in reality, she couldn't let him go. "Miss, do you want to meet him?"
After hearing this, Yue Sheng sighed slightly after a moment and said, "What's there to see? I look like this..."
Huaping's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Even if the young lady is ill, she is still a sick beauty. Besides, didn't we come all the way to South Vietnam just to see him?"
Yue Sheng was amused by Hua Ping's playful expression and tapped her head pretentiously: "You are the only one who talks too much. Now that things have come to this, I think there is no need to see him anymore. As long as he is safe, I will be at peace."
Everyone in Huayue Tower had seen what was happening between Yue Sheng and Yan Shaoqing, but because of the feud between the Ouyang and Yan families, they hadn't spoken out publicly. Although Pu Wenqing wasn't a member of Huayue Tower, he had also received favors from Yue Sheng. He had learned some things from Huaping while accompanying them on their travels around South Vietnam. "...Master, I'll do my best to help."
"Thank you very much."
Pu Wenqing couldn't bear to accept this thank you from the bottom of his heart: "If it weren't for the help you gave me in the past, I wouldn't be able to gain a foothold in South Vietnam. I will repay you for your kindness."
Yue Sheng smiled and said, "Alright, alright, we're all family, no need to be so polite. I'm tired and want to rest for a while."
Huaping saw that although Yue Sheng didn't eat much at noon today, her appetite was better than before, and she had taken the medicine, so it was time for her to have a good rest. "Then I will take care of the young lady to rest first, and then go out to visit my son later. Mr. Pu, please do as you please."
"Um."
Yan Shaoqing hadn't realized how important he was to Yue Sheng, nor had he imagined that his unhesitating departure today would mark their final farewell in this life...
The appearance of Black Crow and Xihe made Tang Chen's life more colorful. Especially when she discovered that Xihe, despite her aloof demeanor, actually had such a lovely and interesting soul, she felt a sense of mutual appreciation and regret that they had met too late.
After they returned to Qinghe, no one mentioned to Tang Chen what had happened after they pretended to be in love with Ouyang Ming. Qinghe had always been a solitary person when she was away from home, so Tang Chen didn't think much of it, just thinking they had received a new mission.
Ever since Xihe and Tang Chen started dating, the first thing she did every day when she woke up was to greet Uncle Li and ask Hei Ya to find her something delicious. The second priority was to go to Liuxiang Tavern to play with Tang Chen.
In just one month, Tang Chen and Xihe had become close brothers. Black Crow said he felt an extremely strong sense of crisis.
Today, Black Crow could no longer tolerate this. He had to make things clear in front of Tang Chen: "Tang Chen, could you please stop flirting with our Xihe all day? What if she gets led astray by you?"
Tang Chen gnawed on the chicken feet in his hand and clicked his tongue at Black Crow, "What are you talking about? Ask Xihe, did I force her or did she do it willingly? Xihe, tell me yourself, or he'll accuse us of colluding with each other."
"I volunteered," Xihe said, placing the chicken bone in her hand on the table and then fumbling around. Tang Chen saw that she hadn't touched the plate of braised chicken feet she had placed in front of Xihe, so she simply used her greasy hands to gently move the plate. Xihe heard the sound of the plate moving and immediately found the "enemy" position accurately.
Seeing this, Hei Ya lowered his head helplessly, slammed his hands on the table and complained like a nagging woman, "You were bribed by her braised chicken feet. Are chicken feet better than mine?"
Xihe nodded without even thinking: "Yeah!"
Black Crow completely collapsed this time. He slumped down in his chair, tilting his head and looking at Wang Yanzhou, who was quietly reading a book beside him, with a look of despair: "Old Wang, can you please take care of this person in your family?"
Wang Yanzhou said without even looking up: "I think it's pretty good."
With Xihe's arrival, the heavy gloom in Tang Chen's heart gradually dissipated. Wang Yanzhou didn't want to see her face full of sorrow and sleepless nights anymore. As for Xihe's origins, there was no way to find out. But according to Hei Ya, if she was taken away as a child to be a medicine man, it was normal for her to have no background. And according to Chen Xin, her body and blood were indeed good things. Keeping her by Tang Chen's side was really a good thing.
Not only that, Tang Chen also agreed to go back to Qingliang Valley with Xihe at once because of Xihe's request. He is truly a lucky man.
After Wang Yanzhou and everyone agreed on a departure time, Liang Shuyi, who was determined to stay behind to look after the store, naturally chose not to go with them. Tang Chen had originally wanted to ask Ouyang Ming and Qing He to go as well, but Wang Yanzhou said that such matters should be asked in person, so Tang Chen happily went to ask them.
"Aren't Mr. and Huahua going with us?"
Qinghe and Ouyang Ming smiled at each other and said, "No, it's fine here."
Tang Chen nodded slightly. She had taken good care of this courtyard when she lived there. Now that the two of them had gotten used to it, they didn't even want to move out.
