This was the first caring words Shu Jiaying said to him. Yu Chenfeng was so moved that he almost burst into tears. He excitedly took Shu Jiaying's hand.
"Yingying, thank you. Having you in my life is enough for me!"

General Zhuang's Mansion
After Zhuang Zhenmeng woke up naturally, she changed into a bright yellow chiffon dress and a light white shawl with small floral prints.
Originally, Zhuang Zhen dreamed of going to the study to find Zhuang Tianming, but the general's mansion was too big, and without anyone to guide her, she was trapped in the mansion's large garden.
This was both infuriating and funny to think about. She couldn't even get out of her own garden. If the servants knew about this embarrassing thing, Zhuang Zhenmeng felt that they would definitely laugh at her in secret, so even if she couldn't find a way out, she didn't shout for help.
Groping slowly, Zhuang Zhenmeng walked to the back of a cluster of green plants. At this time, she heard the voices of two maids talking from behind the plants.
"I heard that the palace is holding a Hundred Flowers Banquet tonight. The daughters of all civil and military officials will have the opportunity to attend this banquet. The eldest daughter heard about this and is so happy that she is still choosing clothes in her room!"
"I envy the young lady such an opportunity. If she is chosen as the first of the hundred flowers, she will not only receive generous rewards, but she may even find her ideal husband at this banquet. If that happens, I think the general will laugh out loud in his dreams. It's a pity that we are just servants. Such a thing will never happen to us."
"That's right, wake up, let's just work hard. If we do a good job, we might even get a reward from the master. That's the most realistic thing."
The two maids were talking as they were about to leave when Zhuang Zhenmeng suddenly jumped out from the greenery. She excitedly pulled one of the maids and asked, "What are you two talking about? What about the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the Palace? Why didn't my father tell me about these things?"
Perhaps because she asked too hastily, Zhuang Zhenmeng's face looked a little ferocious. The maid who was being held was so frightened that she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't know, I don't know anything, Miss... Please let me go, it really hurts when you hold my hand like this!"
The maidservant next to her also chimed in: "Miss, if you have anything to say, let Xiaobai go first. She won't be able to bear it if you hold her like this, Miss..."
Hearing the maid's cry next to her, Zhuang Zhenmeng finally let go of the maid Xiaobai's hand.
Zhuang Zhenmeng asked again, "What did you mean by the Hundred Family Banquet just now?"
In truth, Xiaobai had no idea what was going on, but she was afraid Zhuang Zhenmeng would embarrass her again, so she speculated, "This should be a beauty pageant for all the daughters of officials in Luosuo. If a daughter from any mansion can be chosen as Luosuo's top flower, it will not only represent the highest honor, but also receive a generous bonus. Even if they don't win the title, I think the participating daughters should have the opportunity to meet princes and nobles whom they would never normally meet. If someone strikes a chord with them, perhaps their big plans can finally be resolved."
"I see. Okay, you guys go down!"
After getting what she wanted to know, Zhuang Zhenmeng originally wanted to send the two maids away, but after thinking about it, she called them back.
"Where is my father now? You two take me to find him. I want to see him right away!"
