As for what would happen next, they would have to wait for Daoist Longchuan to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, Aunt Zhao’s complexion looked much better now. It was a vast improvement from last night, when she looked like she was on the verge of death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Aunt Zhao was leaning against Lu Yuan, one hand gripping his arm. She looked at him and said softly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve saved your aunt’s life again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m afraid I’ll never be able to repay you in this lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had been a close call yesterday. Just a hair’s breadth more, and that old woman would have hammered the wooden awl into her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for Lu Yuan’s quick reflexes, and his Flintlock Gun,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao would probably be dead by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to put it... it was just completely unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re family, why talk like strangers? There’s nothing to repay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan said with a carefree smile, looking at Zhao Qiao’er leaning against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this carefree attitude of his was what Zhao Qiao’er cherished most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t help but press herself closer to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ve been busy all night. Go get some rest. Don’t watch over your aunt; I’m fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Zhao Qiao’er looked at a servant nearby, about to have a room arranged for Lu Yuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lu Yuan waved his hand and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t be staying. You’re alright now, Auntie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have to get back to my wife and prepare for the feast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We bought a lot of things this time, and some of it is perishable. If we get back too late, it’ll spoil.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Lu Yuan’s words, Zhao Qiao’er sighed to herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Anyone else who had done something like this would be dying to stay by my side, waiting for a reward.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But my dear nephew... the moment he sees I’m okay, he turns right around to leave.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then again...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This is what true family is. When I was in trouble, he stayed here no matter how dangerous it was.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Now that I’m fine, he’s not looking for anything in return and is off to handle his own affairs.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more it was like this, the more reluctant Zhao Qiao’er was to let her sweetheart go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, the thirty-five-year-old beauty snuggled against Lu Yuan like a pouting child and said with a coquettish whine,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t your aunt worth more than a few cartloads of goods?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your aunt is sick~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stay a few more days and keep your aunt company. When I’m better, I’ll buy you everything you need.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, I’ll throw a magnificent feast for you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grandest feast Taiping City has ever seen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er’s behavior left the few attendants by the bed completely dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Good heavens.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With that lovesick look in her eyes and that coquettish pout, is this really the Black Widow of Taiping City?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But you have to admit...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When the madam acts like she’s in heat, she’s overflowing with feminine charm.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’s like a wildcat crying out in the night, making a man’s heart itch with desire.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan felt the bundle of soft flesh pressing against him and felt a little stirred himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside everything else, very few men could resist a mature beauty acting cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lu Yuan pursed his lips and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not how we do feasts in the village. A feast is when family gathers together. That’s what makes it special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s the point of packing the place with strangers just for show? It would just make me feel awkward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan’s words caused much of the lovesick look in Zhao Qiao’er’s eyes to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s right...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So many people serve me, but the only one who treats me like family is Lu Yuan.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wouldn’t trade this one Lu Yuan for anyone else, no matter how many people were offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the old butler walked in and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, we’ve investigated the matter of the Officials outside the mansion last night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They passed out after drinking the tea that Li Ercheng from our staff brought them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’ve checked the tea. It was a Soporific Drug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These Officials aren’t men of the martial world; they have no vigilance against such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fell for it because of a simple Soporific Drug.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the old butler finished speaking, Zhao Qiao’er—who just a moment ago had been leaning against Lu Yuan like a widow in heat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>instantly adopted a grim and sinister expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, another person came in to report,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam, Daoist Longchuan and the Celestial Master from the Provincial City have returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They’ve tied up a strangely dressed woman we’ve never seen before and said there’s a spy in our household...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Yuan decided it was really time to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Zhao could definitely handle the rest on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan wasn’t particularly interested in this business of spies and other messy affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to get involved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Lu Yuan stood up and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, I’m leaving now. I’ll pick up my wife from the inn, and we’ll head straight back to the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the feast is over, I’ll come back to see you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Zhao Qiao’er was extremely reluctant to part with her sweetheart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she had only relied on herself and never thought much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, it was as if she had someone to lean on. Once she had that feeling, she could never let it go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Qiao’er wasn’t that shameless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to go back and prepare his feast, and she had already delayed him by a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that she was fine, it was only natural for him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Qiao’er held Lu Yuan’s hand, unwilling to let go, and asked,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When is the feast? Have you set a date?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan thought for a moment and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll head back today, prepare tomorrow, and hold it the day after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There aren’t many formalities for feasts in the village. We’ll do it as soon as we’re ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his words, Zhao Qiao’er pondered for a moment, nodded, and then said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright. Come back as soon as it’s over. If you don’t want to live with your aunt, I’ll buy you a big mansion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lu Yuan grinned and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s talk about that later. I haven’t thought about moving to the city just yet. Besides, if we really do move...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...I’ll buy it myself. My family has money, as you know, Auntie.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were really to buy a house in the city, Lu Yuan would definitely use his own money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, being indebted to someone would make him feel uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Zhao Qiao’er, who had just been looking reluctant and sickly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>shot up from the soft couch at his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately reached out a delicate hand, grabbed Lu Yuan by the ear, and chided him coquettishly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s that?! What’s that! What are you trying to say?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is your aunt’s money dirty?! Are you saying my money is dirty?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan never expected Zhao Qiao’er to have such a sudden outburst.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his ear being twisted, Lu Yuan quickly begged for mercy,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not, Auntie! What are you talking about?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Zhao Qiao’er, her face a mask of playful anger, retorted,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What am I talking about?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What are *you* talking about!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s wrong with your aunt buying a mansion for you?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You blockhead, you keep saying we’re family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since we’re family, what’s wrong with an aunt buying her dear nephew a mansion?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You stubborn little mule, are you trying to make your aunt feel indebted to you forever?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Heh.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So now it’s my fault for not letting you spend money?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snapping back to his senses, Lu Yuan quickly said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, alright, alright!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I find a mansion I like, I’ll come to you for the money to buy it. Is that better?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after hearing these words did Zhao Qiao’er let go of his ear, satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan, wincing, rubbed his ear and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next time, I’ll just say I’ve taken a fancy to the County Magistrate’s house. If you don’t buy it for me, I’ll throw a tantrum on the floor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Yuan’s words made Zhao Qiao’er, who wasn’t truly angry in the first place, laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then she remembered she was supposed to be angry and had to keep a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She quickly wiped the smile from her face, glared at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Smart-mouth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Be careful or your aunt will give you a beating!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「At noon.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Changliu Village.」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Liyan’s entire family was taking inventory of the things in their home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had truly bought so much that it was impossible to count it all in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as the family was counting,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>someone darted in from the courtyard gate, looked at Su Liyan’s mother, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, stop counting your gold ingots at home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your son-in-law is back!
