"What about the ones that Lord Xun took away?"

"We have no right to ask." Qin Xiaofeng's mood suddenly changed. "Even Magistrate Wang can't ask. The matter of Luocheng County has been settled. It's Jiangjin County's turn to get busy."

"Really..." Ding Xirui raised his head and took a sip of water.

"However, you have been commended, and County Magistrate Wang has already reported it to the state government." Qin Xiaofeng smiled slightly, "Maybe there will be news in a few days."

Choking on a mouthful of water, Ding Xirui started coughing violently.

"What's wrong?" An Yumo brought the wontons, put them on the table, and patted her back.

"Don't worry."

Ding Xirui took another sip of water to moisten his throat: "Brother, what did Magistrate Wang report?"

"You report whatever you do."

"Brother, will you really reward people based on their merits? Will you commend the Lin family, the Gu family, the An family, or ourselves?"

"Does it make any difference?"

There is a huge difference. Ding Xirui shook her head. Probably she would not commend them individually. She looked up at An Yumo and found that she was very calm.

"Why are you looking at me? I will accept the commendation now. My mother couldn't stop me, and she won't be able to stop me in the future." An Yumo curled the corners of his mouth.

Hey, this idea is good. Ding Xirui picked up the spoon and scooped up a wonton.

"You haven't told me what the difference is yet?"

"Think for yourself."

"Don't eat wontons..."

"I paid for it."

Ding Xirui snatched the bowl and continued eating.

Helping the government destroy the bandit's den and arrest the bandit leader was a great achievement. In May, the commendation came. Mr. An and his wife taught their daughter well, the Gu family couple was loyal and brave, and the Lin family couple was kind-hearted as doctors. As expected, my guess was correct. An Yumo hung his head and understood the difference that Ding Xirui said.

No matter what, the commendation certificate has been issued, and it still needs to be presented respectfully. Mrs. An was speechless. She was more angry than proud! What dangerous thing did that damn girl Yumo do? She actually kept it from her!

"Mother, I just helped the people in the government office save a few women by accident." Of course she had to hide the fact of arresting "Lord Ning" and the fake wedding. She still didn't accept it. Why didn't they commend her, An Yumo's bravery, and insisted that it was because of her parents' good teaching.

"You're about to get married, so stop messing around."

At the end of May, An Yumo and Qin Xiaofeng got married. The sound of suona could be heard from far away. The bridal sedan set out from the An family yard. The red dress stretched for miles. Qin Xiaofeng rode a horse, looking radiant. The martial arts school brothers escorted them. If they were not all wearing red silk, one would have thought they were going to rob someone just by looking at their irrepressible aggressiveness.

An Yumo in the sedan had tears in her eyes. She felt strange. She had disliked her mother's nagging some time ago, but why was she so reluctant to let her go today? She wanted to lift the curtain to take another look, but her hands were shaking.

"I'm getting married... From now on, I'll be the daughter-in-law of the Qin family..." She closed her eyes, as if she could see her father and mother waving goodbye to her.

The night seemed particularly long. When she woke up, she heard someone breathing beside her. She screamed and pushed the other person hard. Qin Xiaofeng was half asleep. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the ground. He turned his head to look at the bed. His wife was stunned and blushing.

"Sorry..." An Yumo grabbed the quilt.

"It's okay." Qin Xiaofeng stood up and brushed off the dirt. "You must be used to it... me too..." He scratched his head.

"Would you like a drink of water?"

"Hmm." She nodded.

After drinking the water and putting down the cup, I felt uncomfortable all over the room.

"Can I go to bed?" Qin Xiaofeng continued to scratch his head.

"Okay..." An Yumo moved to the side of the bed.

He lay down, covered himself with the quilt, and dared not move.

"Senior brother..."

"You won't keep yelling like that."

"……sleep."

Qin Xiaofeng was the third child. His two elder brothers had already married and built new courtyards and opened doors a few years ago. Qin Xiaofeng had just married and although he had his own courtyard, he still lived with the old couple of the Qin family and his younger sister. An Yumo was a new bride, and she served her parents-in-law with a humble attitude. After more than ten days, she felt very depressed.

"Miss, please bear with it for a few more days."

"They are in good health. Apart from arranging meals and cleaning the courtyard, there is basically nothing for me to do. My mother-in-law didn't ask me to take care of anything else. The academy, the restaurant, and the dental clinic are all waiting for me."

"Miss, the academy has taken a leave, and the shop has been handed over to someone else to run. You don't have to come in person. Have you forgotten what the madam told you? A new bride must be filial and well-behaved, and must not take the initiative to cause trouble." Xiaoqin said as she wiped the table again.

"Then how long should I wait?" An Yumo leaned on the table, exhausted. Before she got married, they had clearly agreed that she would still be allowed to go out to work after marriage. How did it change? It was better before she got married. She didn't have to stand or sit straight every day, and she didn't have to smile at everyone every day.

"Miss, would you like to go to the kitchen and make something?"

Alas, now the only place I can breathe freely is in the kitchen.

"Let's go."

The weather was getting warmer, and An Yumo made some herbal tea. Perhaps she was absent-minded, so she added a few more lemon slices. She took a sip and found it very sour.

"Annoying!" He grabbed a few more rock candies and put them in, feeling even more depressed.

As night fell, her depression was about to go through the roof.

"Yumo, you should have a good rest for a few days." Qin Xiaofeng patted her hands.

"I've rested enough. I'm almost getting moldy." An Yumo hugged his head.

Qin Xiaofeng sat down. "When my eldest and second brothers got married, our family was not as good as it is now. My two sisters-in-law worked very hard spinning and weaving and raising children every day. My two brothers helped my father run the business, and I was working in the government office, so I couldn't help much..."

"I didn't say I didn't want to be filial... I..." An Yumo felt depressed. You married me because you want me to help you take care of your parents? I can take care of them, but I can't just do this one thing!

"Yumo, that's not what I meant." Qin Xiaofeng hurriedly sat over, "Mom wants you to go to the workshop and take care of some things."

"Why didn't she tell me directly? Did she want to test my character these past ten days?" An Yumo stood up suddenly. "She should have known what kind of person I am before proposing marriage. Xiaohu and Xiaobao have been with me for so long... Don't they know me well enough... If I don't have a good character, they shouldn't have married me..." An Yumo's head suddenly buzzed and his nose felt sore.

"Yumo, Yumo!" Qin Xiaofeng hurriedly hugged her, "You misunderstood. Mother likes you very much and thinks highly of you. She always said that we should move up the wedding date."

"What are you doing now?" An Yumo pushed him away and turned her face away. "I didn't say I wanted to go to the workshop."

"Yumo," Qin Xiaofeng grabbed her arm, "For so many years, mother has been managing the spinning workshop. Although the two sisters-in-law have skills, they are not very literate. Mother has been looking forward to your coming. She must want you to take it easy and get to know the family better first."

"I...my dental clinic hasn't opened yet..." An Yumo muttered.

"It doesn't affect..." Qin Xiaofeng held her in his arms.

Early the next morning, An Yumo served her mother-in-law dinner. As soon as she brought the soup, Mrs. Qin said, "Yumo, come with me to the workshop today." The two sisters-in-law looked at each other, and their expressions were obviously not right.

"Mother...I..."

"Are you alright?"

"Mom, the academy class has been postponed twice. I want to go today."

"The academy," Mrs. Qin stopped eating. "Okay, then follow me to the workshop tomorrow."

An Yumo couldn't ask for more, so she agreed. The two sisters-in-law looked even worse.

It was already June, and the first batch of students at Tingting Girls' College was about to graduate. Before An Yumo entered the courtyard, she heard the bustling sounds.

"What are you doing?" She greeted the two sisters-in-law at the door and walked into the yard.

There was a row of drawing boards next to the wall, and female students were standing in front with pens in their hands. When you got closer, you could see large characters, couplets, articles, and several students were drawing. On the other side, Ding Xirui was teaching two girls swordsmanship.

"Sister An, you're here." Song Hanzhang walked over.

"Han Zhang, what do you want to do?"

"Sister An, Sister Ding said that she wants to hold a... garden party for the graduating students."

"What do you mean?"

“Let the students show what they have learned in the past three months, invite their families to see it, and invite nearby neighbors. My sister and I thought it was very interesting, so we started preparing.”

"When?"

"Three days later. Is Sister An free?" Song Hanzhang looked at her face. She delivered a letter to the Qin Mansion a few days ago, and An Yumo had not been able to come out.

"I will definitely come, so I will prepare tea and snacks for everyone."

"That's great." Song Hanzhang smiled brightly and turned to guide others in writing.

"Hey, long time no see~" Ding Xirui walked over.

An Yumo curled her lips.
