Han Ye knew that this girl, like so many people these days, suffered from what was called choice paralysis. He was pleased that she liked relying on him, but he also understood perfectly well that he could not interfere with her choices or her life.

She yawned slowly. Sleeping until noon really was bad for one’s spirits. The original owner had kept irregular hours, and her health was only so-so. She decided that she ought to take better care of herself.

“All right, Patriarch. In a little while, shall we go to the City Lord’s Residence and bring Miss Zhong Qing and her brother back?” the Zhong family’s First Elder suggested.

“I didn’t drink coffee today! And besides, what on earth does drinking coffee have to do with losing my mind? Su Su, don’t change the subject!” They had not even finished discussing the house, so how had the conversation suddenly turned to coffee?

When Madam Wang saw Madam Zhou appear, she was petrified. She had never expected Madam Zhou to come out. Madam Zhou had disliked her from the moment she married Su Shi. She had used underhanded means to marry into the Su family, and after marrying Su Shi, she had ordered him about until he was completely at her beck and call. As his mother, Madam Zhou had always found her deeply distasteful.

The grievance had vanished from her face. Now she looked full of melancholy and sorrow, as though the poem had touched the very depths of her heart.

“No, please. Second Brother and the others are all listening in the courtyard downstairs.” If they heard how uninhibited she had sounded last night, she would never be able to face anyone again tomorrow.

Yiyi put on an anguished expression and fussed over Grandpa, bringing him water and food and reminding him to take his medicine and drink more water.

In Guangzhou, Yang Qingqing had thoroughly investigated the life of the eldest young master of the Chu family over the past three years. She knew that six months after divorcing her, he had married another wealthy heiress, and that the couple now had a son.

“Mo Lin, you’re here too. Perfect. I’m sure Hugo has already told you about our club, hasn’t he? Hugo is a member as well,” Rose said seriously.

She raised her foot and brought it down hard on his foot. Tu Cang’s expression changed at once, and the arm he had wrapped around her loosened slightly.

Mu Ying walked in and saw Mu Yao huddled motionless in a corner. She went over and poked her cheek.

Ji Chen was not very pleased when he heard the first part, but the moment Mu Jiao mentioned “our account,” the corners of his mouth rose involuntarily.

Grandma had been sitting in the outer room. When she saw me return, she stood and said, “Have a glass of water before you go to sleep.” Then she walked outside, looking thoroughly displeased.

In an instant, she swam over to the Serpent Spirit Flowers. Seeing the six flowers with white petals and golden centers, she uprooted them and transplanted them into the Chaos Realm before swimming southward again.

It was the third month of spring. The riot of flowers and green willows filling the courtyard could not dispel the gloom in everyone’s hearts, while the floral fragrance mingled with the scent of earth could not overpower the stench of blood drifting over the wall.

Yet Long Xiluo was not there at all. He had always suspected that she was still alive, which was why he had spent these past years searching for her, scouring nearly the entire world.

“Wenhua, please don’t be like this. We used to get along so well. Why are you treating me this way now?” Xia Azhi tried to wrench herself free of the steward’s grip, but she was not as strong as he was and could only watch helplessly as he dragged her out of the door.

Ye Tianyu remained unmoved. As he reached the center of the formation, he stamped on another loose stone and crushed it beneath his foot. The formation in that corner was dispelled as well.

Tian Ye was an exceedingly strange man. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would do all sorts of outrageous and astonishing things. No matter what anyone said, he always seemed to have hundreds of retorts ready.

When Nanny Wang heard that there would be a reward, she immediately brightened and followed after them with eager little steps. As she walked, she was already thinking about how to embellish and praise her bowl of lotus-seed soup.

“You really intend to send both Jinyuan and the Golden Seal to the Marquis’s Estate?” Zhou Jiao stared at Lin Hai in astonishment.

“How can you be so afraid of Meng Siyao?” Cang Juesheng sent the message. If he had asked her that in front of Yue Zhaozhao, she would certainly have heard the teasing note in his voice.

Sun Men leaned forward, looking utterly carefree now. There was no trace left of his earlier embarrassment or anger. “Is anyone else raising the price? Anyone?”

Over the past few days, her cooking had earned the unanimous approval of Chen Feng and the other two. More importantly, she knew how to conduct herself. She lacked none of the unpleasant habits often found in girls her age: she was neither long-winded nor meddlesome, and she never stuck her nose into other people’s affairs.

Meng Siyao was printing documents nearby. The company was operating at full speed, and even someone as uninvolved as her could not sit idle, because everyone had far too much to do. All the miscellaneous errands had been handed over to her.

As the saying goes, a person on the verge of death speaks with unusual sincerity. The words of someone struggling to survive were certainly not wild ravings or baseless fabrications. But what exactly could be wrong with this lotus-seed soup?

Commandery Princess Wen Yi did not seem to care that Lin Hai was nowhere to be seen. She simply kept holding Zhou Jiao’s hand and chatting with her, looking determined to become her closest friend.

At the same time, Qin Changge and the others encountered another awkward problem: only one room remained in the hotel. In other words, he and Yun Yao would have to sleep in the same bed, which was an enormous trial for them both. Yun Yao, in particular, had blushed deeply the moment she entered the room.
