After he finished speaking, there was awkward silence all around. The scholar's mother regretted her decision so much. Why did she agree to follow Li Xiulan? This was truly too embarrassing.

"Well, seeing that you are okay, I feel relieved. Aunt Dabao, please stay with Aunt Liu. I'm leaving first."

Li Xiulan was stunned: "Ah, where are you going?"

"My relatives live in the next village, so I'll go to their house."

As she said that, she walked out. Li Xiulan was puzzled: "You have relatives living in the next village? Why haven't you ever told me that?"

The scholar's wife smiled and explained, "Of course you don't know. Cheng'er's aunt lives next door. Cheng'er's father died early, and I rarely interact with her family, so naturally I rarely talk about her. I also wanted to come and see her, so I took the Ye family's carriage."

After the scholar's mother finished speaking, she walked out. Li Xiulan quickly chased after her: "Aren't you going to see my eldest niece?"

"No need to look, no need to look, you can talk to their family about my family's situation, and if you think it's okay, come and talk to me."

Hearing what the scholar's wife said, Li Xiulan was extremely happy: "Okay, then it's settled."

"What did my aunt agree with them?"

Ye Xianchun felt in good spirits today, so he went for a walk in the small garden. But when he returned to the room, he saw Li Xiulan arguing with a woman and talking about herself, so he started to ask.

Seeing Ye Xianchun coming, Li Xiulan immediately smiled and said, "Xianchun, you've come just in time. Come, come, this is the scholar's mother. Her family and I live in the same alley. Her son is already a scholar at the age of fourteen..."

Li Xiulan kept talking nonstop, and Ye Xianchun looked at her with a smile on his face. Meanwhile, the scholar's mother was secretly looking at Ye Xianchun.

The Miss Ye in front of him was absolutely superior in both temperament and appearance. Just as Li Xiulan said, she didn't look like a country girl at all, but more like a rich lady.

She was extremely satisfied at first sight. She thought that her son was a scholar and a good match for the woman in front of her.

Seeing Ye Xianchun looking at her, the scholar's wife smiled at her kindly: "Miss Ye is really pretty."

Ye Xianchun smiled and bowed as a compliment to her in return: "If aunt has nothing else to do, I will go back to my room first."

"Okay, okay, go back, go back."

Watching Ye Xianchun return to his room, Li Xiulan looked at the scholar's mother proudly: "How is my eldest niece?"

"Okay, okay, your niece is naturally good. Thank you for your trouble, Dabao Niang. If this thing succeeds, I will definitely thank you very much."

"Don't worry, I'm just waiting to drink at your wedding."

When Zhang Guifang woke up again, she was already in bed. Seeing her wake up, Yu Xiuying hurried over to sit beside her and asked, "Sister Zhang, how are you? Are you feeling better?"

"Xiuying, I'm sorry to have made you worried."

"What are you talking about? Just stay here and treat this place as your own home."

Zhang Guifang wanted to say something, but Yu Xiuying stopped her: "Sister Zhang, do you still remember what kind of life I lived in Huaishu Village? If you hadn't secretly helped me all those years, I might not be alive today. You helped me like that back then, so let me help you now. Don't say anything, just stay here peacefully, and don't think you are eating and living for free. Shi'an has arranged a job for Zhang Huai, and he won't eat for free."

Zhang Guifang was speechless and could only hold Yu Xiuying's hand tightly.

When she came out of Zhang Guifang's room, Li Xiulan immediately came up to her and said, "Big sister, happy news, great happy news."

Yu Xiuying frowned: "What good news do I have?"

"Sister, do you still remember what you asked me to do before you left last time?"

Yu Xiuying frowned. She didn't remember asking Li Xiulan for help.

Seeing her like this, Li Xiulan reminded herself, "Oh, you forgot, you are telling my eldest niece to find a good family."

"Oh, that's true."

"Oh, the scholar's wife who came with me today, she has a son named Qiancheng, who passed the examination for a scholar at the age of fourteen. Now he is the same age as Xianchun, and he is also handsome. The two of them standing together are definitely a perfect match."

"Then I'll go talk to Ye Xianchun."

"Oh, big sister, you are the mother, you should make the decision, why are you still telling the child that it is up to the parents to decide and the matchmaker to decide."

"But... Xianchun was too resistant last time. If I don't discuss it with her, she might get angry."

"Sister, I'm not saying anything bad about you. Although she is eighteen, she is still a child and a girl. How can she say that she wants to get married? Besides, what girl doesn't want to get married? Is she going to stay at home and be an old maid?"

The word "old maid" made Yu Xiuying's heart tremble. No, absolutely not. Her Xianchun was so outstanding, she would not be an old maid who could not get married.

Li Xiulan continued, "I can't harm her. I'm sure she'll like this scholar Xianchun. If you don't believe me, I have a way."

She beckoned Yu Xiuying to come closer, then whispered in her ear for a while. Yu Xiuying relaxed her brows and said, "Okay, it's settled then."

It was not until after dinner that Ye Shian returned to his room. When he opened the door, he saw Shen Cuo sitting at the table drinking tea. Ye Shian was startled and quickly went into the room and closed the door.

"I think you are really brave. You are not afraid of being seen just sitting here."

"No one will come to your place."

“…Am I not a human?”

"Will you tell anyone then?"

"That's impossible to say."

Ye Shian sat down next to Shen Cuo, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of cold tea.

"I'm leaving."

"Oh, really? That's really great."

"Thank you for taking care of me these days."

"You're welcome. I'll be very grateful as long as you don't bring trouble upon me."

"Can you give me some white pills?"

Ye Shian: ...

This person is so annoying.

Ye Shian stood up and walked to the door, wanting to open it and tell him to get out, but she was afraid of being seen, so she turned around and walked to the window. She pushed the window open with force and made a gesture of invitation: "Get out."

Shen Cuo stood still.

"Let me beg you."

Shen Cuo sat upright, saying he was begging, but he didn't have the slightest intention of begging.

"Shen Cuo, I saved you again and again, not for you to embarrass me."

Shen Cuo's hand stroked the edge of the teacup: "There is a person who is very important to me. She is in poor health and suffers every day. Your white pill can make her less miserable."

Painkillers!

"Is he your closest relative?"

"It's a close relative!"

Ye Shian paused: "That has nothing to do with me. I am not a saint and cannot control the life and death of others."

Shen Cuo seemed to have made a big decision and took out a jade pendant from his body: "This is for you."

"Barter?"

"Give me more if you can."

Ye Shian picked up the jade pendant. This jade pendant was carved with a dragon and a phoenix. It was a real piece of beautiful jade. Ye Shian knew at a glance that this jade was definitely top-grade.

"Is she a woman?"

"Yes."

"No wonder." Who would take out such a priceless jade pendant in exchange for medicine if not his beloved?

"Now that you've spoken, I can't reject your words, right? Just wait."
