After Xuanyuan Yan left, Shangguan Qingyue had almost no time to feel sad because she had so much to do.

I originally thought that spring was the most beautiful season in the three villages, but I didn’t expect that autumn has a unique romance where hard work and beautiful scenery coexist.

The mountains were covered with wild chrysanthemums, honeysuckle, and golden hairpins, all in a golden hue. This was the first time that the villagers, let alone the county town, had ever seen such a scene.

The women in the village carried baskets on their backs and wore straw hats, walking in the fields or mountains, picking chrysanthemums and honeysuckle flowers with their fingers flying. This was originally a tiring task, but it was extremely pleasing to outsiders.

The men in the village were so happy to see their wives standing among the flowers and working hard that they felt there was a special kind of beauty in their faces.

Even though he had to carry the heavy basket to the pharmacy non-stop, he did not feel tired and could even hum a few folk tunes from time to time.

He was a little shy at first, but became more and more relaxed as time went on, and even sang folk songs with his wives in the fields.

The ladies and young ladies who came to the village to enjoy the performance were all amazed by the novelty. The talented and romantic men followed suit and composed new lyrics on the spot, imitating the local accent and singing loudly to the girls they liked with red ears.

Gradually, more and more people began to join in, and some bold girls were not willing to lag behind and sang along. The shy ones simply put on veils or hats and hid behind trees to sing along.

For a moment, everywhere was filled with Yue'er's singing and chirping, it was so lively.

Carrying a basket of wild chrysanthemums, Shangguan Qingyue sat on a big rock, quietly resting her chin on one hand and watching the lively scene in fascination. Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side:

"It seems that our girl Xi has just fallen in love. She is so fascinated by the love songs sung by men and women."

Fu Qiuyang waved his folding fan lazily, smiling evilly. Yang Zian frowned when he heard this.

"Brother Fu, be careful with your words. Ruoxi is still a child. What are you talking about?"

Fu Qiuyang immediately rolled his eyes.

"Brother Yang, this girl will be coming of age in two years. She is not a child at all. I haven't seen her for more than a month. I think she has grown up a bit and is beginning to look like a lady from a wealthy family."

Shangguan Qingyue stood up swiftly and brushed off the dust and grass debris stuck to her buttocks. Her movements could be considered quite vulgar.

Fu Qiuyang was shocked. This little girl definitely did it on purpose!

"Two brothers, how come you have time to come here today? Do you want to discuss something with me?"

"I heard that the handsome gentleman left you. I think you must be very sad. We came here to comfort you. Would you like to have a simple meal at your brother Yang's house tomorrow?"

The conversation was full of sourness, and those who didn't know would think that this person was interested in him. Shangguan Qingyue said helplessly:

"No matter how handsome you are, you are unparalleled in handsomeness as Brother Fu. With you in front of me, no beauty in the mortal world can seduce me.

I've said I'd go to Brother Yang's house to warm up the stove. Are you finally free? I wonder what you two have been busy with these days?"

Being teased by a little girl, Fu Qiuyang felt a little embarrassed even though he was thick-skinned. However, he was still very happy to be praised for his handsomeness.

So he replied with a smile:

"Of course he's busy with business. We can talk about it in detail when you get there tomorrow. Anyway, it's a good thing.

Oh, don’t forget to bring your newly made food. There are too many people buying food at the “Restaurant Shop” in the city, and I can’t even get in line.”

He was angry when he talked about this matter. He didn't know where this girl found the shopkeeper from. He was too unkind! He said all the nice things and repeatedly explained that he had a close relationship with this girl, but the girl refused to make concessions.

He said that the rules were set by the boss long ago, and even if the county magistrate came, he couldn't make any special arrangements. Tsk, how could the county magistrate compare with him!

Suddenly thinking of something, he said:

"By the way, why haven't you seen your elder sister? Invite her tomorrow, it will be more fun with more people."

Somehow, he started to act coy, which made Shangguan Qingyue unable to help laughing.

However, he was disappointed in the end. Shangguan Yunxin failed to show up as promised, and neither did Shangguan Qingyue.

Yang Chengping, the youngest son of the Yang family who was engaged to Shangguan Yunxin, came. He was dressed like a peacock and was sitting in the study in the front yard of Qingyue Villa.

Baili Nanqing sat aside, wondering how she could have been so short-sighted to like the man in front of her. Now, no matter how she looked at him, she just couldn't stand him.

She was wearing all kinds of colorful clothes, and even had a flower in her hair! Her face wasn't very pretty, but upon closer inspection, she was wearing makeup...

"I wonder why Young Master Yang has come all the way here?"

Yang Chengping was about to speak when his third sister, who came with him, spoke first. She laughed and said:

"Aunt, you are too polite, you can just call him Chengping.

I've heard that you finally got what you wanted and found your legitimate daughter. Yun Xin came with you but hasn't returned yet. I, your silly brother, have been worried about her so much that I can't sleep or eat.

That’s why I inquired about where you were staying, and thought I’d come over to take a look. It would be great if I could help you out.”

Baili Nanqing looked at the ruddy-faced, slightly plump man opposite her, resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and said:

"Your Yang family is well-informed. You actually found our house here directly."

Baili Nanqing was very unhappy about this matter. She didn't know what magical powers the Yang family had used to find their way directly to her doorstep!

Yang Xiuyun was a little embarrassed and said vaguely:

"There is no such thing as well-informed information. Auntie, you don't know that we only found this place after many twists and turns and asking around."

Yang Chengping immediately nodded in agreement. He had never suffered so much in his life.

"My third sister is right. It's so easy for me to find my aunt's house! Uh, I wonder where sister Yunxin is. Is she okay?"

Yang Xiuyun took out a handkerchief, covered her mouth with her hands and laughed softly.

"Don't blame me, Auntie. My brother must have been waiting anxiously for a long time..."

Baili Nanqing's expression immediately turned cold, and he said calmly:

"Although the two children are engaged, they are not married yet..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a voice coming from outside the door:

"I wonder which distinguished guest is here? My sister and I are late, please don't blame me." Shangguan Qingyue took the hand of Shangguan Yunxin, who had a stern face, and walked into the study.

Yang Chengping stretched his neck anxiously to look at the door, and his fiery eyes made the two sisters clench their hands at the same time. Tsk, this person is so rude!

Baili Nanqing had not originally planned to let the two children go out to meet people. The Yang family's behavior was really unreasonable, and she didn't know what they were up to, so she had to be on guard.

However, Shangguan Qingyue disagreed. She knew that her elder sister was unwilling to marry into the Yang family. As for why she wanted to regret it, it was probably mainly due to a change in her state of mind.

In the past, she thought it didn't matter who she married, because women had to get married when they reached a certain age. Although the youngest son of the Yang family was not very talented, he had a good reputation. But now she was living a fulfilling life and could no longer accept the dull and boring life in a large mansion.

Since she was unwilling, Shangguan Qingyue's idea was to make things clear in person and cancel the engagement immediately after returning to Beijing. However, the moment she saw Yang Xiuyun, she felt that this matter might be a bit troublesome.
