Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Yuezheng Xiao was sincerely treating Shao Yunduan as his real friend.

Qiao Xuan made lunch.

She killed a duck and braised it with sauce. Then, she made a pot of sour soup with small miscellaneous fish, steamed mandarin fish, tomato eggs, stir-fried wolfberry, shredded lettuce, and beans

According to the custom, Shao Yunduan ate with Xie Jingrong and Yuezheng Xiao outside, and the others were eating in the kitchen.

Those from the first section of the family were quite calm compared to the last time when they met Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong. Even someone as honest as Shao Dalang came over and greeted them with a forced, embarrassed smile.

Anyway, they were just very happy that the two young masters were from a good family and were willing to visit them at home and befriend his brother.

In the afternoon, Yuezheng Xiao mentioned hunting and he had a long conversation with Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao. Yuezheng Xiao got even more interested after that.

They were here to go hunting in the mountains, so they decided to return the following morning.

They did not show any disdainful look at the Shao Family’s house, but the Shao Family’s house was not large enough to hold four people and one coachman. Since they had a wagon, they could head back to the town quickly.

It was almost four in the afternoon when Yuezheng Xiao and Xie Jingrong went back to the town.

Ms. Niu brought her daughter to their home, claiming that she wanted to have a chit chat with Taotao. But in fact, she was planning on something else.

Ms. Fang had already prepared for it. Before they could enter the yard, she drove them away, and even implicitly warned Shao Meiling. She told her not to behave stupidly like her mother lest she became a laughing stock.

Shao Meiling left with her cheeks burning red. Ms. Niu glared at Ms. Fang and left timidly.

Ms. Fang was speechless. She was telling the truth and was doing it for Shao Meiling’s sake.

Did Ms. Niu think that everyone else was stupid? The village was too small to hold a secret.

Widow Sun for example, talked a lot and she knew about this matter.

It was shameless for Ms. Niu to get Shao Meiling to meet the two young masters, especially under a thinly disguised excuse.

If the marriage worked out well, then all was fine, otherwise who would dare to marry Shao Meiling afterwards?

Ms. Fang knew clearly that this matter would not work!

Therefore, she decided to re-modify the house, especially making the gate tighter and locked properly.

In the evening, Ms. Fang said to the whole family, “Our house is too shabby and old, small too. Qi is getting married in a few years and you will all have children, so it is not big enough to hold you all! We need to build a new house.” It was a major thing to build a new house and everyone got very excited,

talking between themselves.

Qiao Xuan showed concern about it too. She could not help but look at Shao

Yunduan.

They exchanged a look which made Qiao Xuan feel quite embarrassed. She moved her gaze away from him.

Did it mean that she was not leaving Shao Yunduan, ever? She had decided not to leave a long time ago, but she had not said that out loud.

Also, Shao Yunduan had not said anything to have her stay back.

But the way she behaved seemed so obvious to Shao Yunduan, who felt quite delighted.

Eldest Uncle sighed. “We do need to build two more rooms, but do we have any money for that?”

Ms. Fang said, “Two more rooms? We need to demolish the whole house and build a brand new one, to live a cozier life! As for money, we have saved some.”
