Chapter 54: The Flavors of Elm Village

Jiang Yuan accepted the money without hesitation, but leaving was out of the question. "Father, I'm staying home tonight. Do you really despise me that much? You wouldn’t forbid me from living here just because you divorced my mother, would you? Has my room ceased to be mine? Because I see all my things are still there, not a single thing missing."

Luo Zhenyong glared at his daughter. "Smooth talker."

But since she refused to leave, he had no choice but to tolerate her presence, though he found her unpleasant.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, everyone in the family had been informed. Except for Qu Qianxi, who was heavily pregnant and unable to fly, everyone else had come, including the old master, anxiously waiting outside.

If that were the case, Lord Jun would leave in the future, but Sister Hongzhu would have to stay here. She would undoubtedly be heartbroken.

He held on firmly and looked at her. "I will have Jingxia tell you that my love for you has reached its limit." Because when a person dies, time also stops.

Although Wang Ren wanted to stay in Beicheng, all the key personnel were in Nancheng, so after a day, he left and returned first.

Under the warm invitation of the three men, the brother and sister stayed overnight at the Qiao residence. The next morning, after breakfast, Qiao Anguo personally saw them off out of the city. The old master decided to send the siblings many gifts, filling two large horse-drawn carts of the Taste Tower merchant caravan.

After some thought, she had a clear plan and assigned Yan Huai to take Wang Ren to rest, while she called Xie Shuning to the kitchen.

Originally, when Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Li lived together, the courtyard felt a bit crowded. However, after Mrs. Sun moved out, it seemed empty and cold.

After the matriarch vented her anger for a while, she began to comfort her. With the cooperation of Nurse Chen, they managed to calm the old lady somewhat.

The servants in the matriarch’s courtyard were all extremely respectful toward her, never treating her like a servant, and even more respectful than some fallen branches of the family. So upon hearing of her arrival, Jin Xiu personally brought her a cup of tea.

Perhaps this was why Su Bei finally let her go—to let her safety become the catalyst for the matter to unfold?

Qiu Ruoyu’s expression was resolute. "You tell the Qiu family on my behalf, I, Qiu Ruoyu, would rather die than agree." With that, she stood up and left directly.

"Second brother, considering you were momentarily confused, the eldest forgives you this time!" Jiang Zhinan laughed and feigned sincerity.

Liu Zhize slightly raised his eyes and looked ahead. It was a young man, whose lips curled into a faint smile, full of light amusement.

Moreover, Luo Shiyin seemed to have vanished from the world recently; there had been no news for several days. Just now, Ye Hao had even called her specifically to invite her to the banquet, but her phone was off.

Then, Wang Hao looked around cautiously. It was his first time here, and although he had seen related videos in a past life, experiencing it firsthand was different.

Lin Hao ignored her advice, still holding the rod tightly, letting the fishing line tug east and west, occasionally guiding its direction.

If he weren’t a disciple of a major sect, Liu Zhize would not have believed it, but the young man refused to say which sect he belonged to.

Even though our Shenghai Sect has the protective formation established by the founding ancestor, which can resist a Supreme’s attack.

The next moment, the attendant struggled and screamed as a pitch-black claw grasped him in its palm, slowly tightening with tremendous force until his eyeballs nearly popped out.

There were even watches, bicycles, radios—the space was truly well-stocked. When she had time, she planned to explore everything.

Her mind was in turmoil. She couldn’t fathom the young master’s heart, nor understand why he, who had always been cold and hateful toward her, suddenly changed his attitude.
