We agreed to farm, why do you go to the palace every day?

Yunniang stared at Luo Yu, her eyes revealing an unprecedented firmness, as if at this moment, some kind of power deep in her heart was awakened.

Aunt Lin nodded silently, showing her understanding and agreement. She knew that Luo Yu's words made sense, and she also understood that this was a warning to them not to continue to be submissive and allow themselves to be bullied.

After all, they are not alone - Aunt Lin has her husband and family to support her; but Yunniang is different, she only has young Yaya to rely on. If she is not strong and brave enough, who can really help her?

In this cruel world, the weak can only passively take beatings and suffer all kinds of grievances and hardships.

Therefore, Yunniang must learn to be self-reliant in order to protect herself and Yaya and live a stable life.

But seeing the palm print on Yunniang's face, she still felt distressed and said, "Your face is already swollen. Will it scare Yaya later? How about letting Yaya come to my house tonight?"

Yunniang shook her head, "No, sister-in-law, she should know that. I should teach her to protect herself and not just tolerate it like I did before!"

"It's best if you can think this way!"

It was common for people to talk about this episode in the village, but Luo Yu and his friends never went to the village again.

Lin and her daughter-in-law also stayed at home and did not go out, each of them had their own worries.

However, two days passed slowly, the road was no longer muddy, and everyone gradually forgot about it as they visited their relatives.

Luo Luo and her family also went to their grandmother's house, and Mu Feng sent them to the town in a carriage.

When Yaya saw the wound on Yunniang's face, she felt sorry for her mother. She slept especially close to Yunniang that night and fell into a nightmare, muttering, "Mom, don't hit me, it hurts!"

Yunniang felt distressed after hearing this. She didn't sleep well the whole night and kept an eye on Yaya the whole time.

The Lantern Festival is Luo Yu’s fifteenth birthday and also her coming of age day.

Luo Yu didn't care too much about it. It was just a birthday and she was never enthusiastic about things. She just cooked and fed the chickens as usual.

"Mu Feng, Ah Ci, it's time for dinner!"

Luo Yu stood outside the study, calling out to the two people inside. No one knew what attracted him, as he did not come out all night.

Mu Feng and Luo Ci came to the kitchen. Luo Yu had already served the meal and was sitting at the table waiting for them.

After washing their hands, they sat at the table and started eating.

But at night, after Luo Ci fell asleep, Mu Feng handed her a wooden hairpin, which was much more exquisite than the one that Luo Yu's father gave her.

"Was it made especially for me? How come I didn't know?"

"Like it?"

Mu Feng lowered his head and stared at her, feeling a little uneasy, as if he was afraid that she didn't like it.

Luo Yu looked at him with a smile, "I like it, your craftsmanship is better than my father's!"

Seeing that she really liked it, Mu Feng finally suppressed his inner anxiety, "As long as you like it, I will make it for you in the future. Happy birthday!"

Although Luo Yu was not keen on celebrating birthdays, she was happy to receive gifts.

"Thank you, but how did you know today is my birthday?"

After asking, Luo Yu felt that she might have been overwhelmed by joy. She and Luo Ci were both registered with him, so it was not difficult for him to know her birthday.

She looked up at Mu Feng embarrassedly and could only laugh.

"Let me help you put it on and see."

Mu Feng put the hairpin on her and thought to himself: It really suits her. He will make more beautiful ones for her in the future.

"Let's go to the county in a few days!"

Mu Feng spoke hurriedly, but Luo Yu stared at him blankly, without any reaction for a moment.

"Let's go see how Uncle Cai's hot pot restaurant is going. I'll also go visit Mr. Cai. Maybe there will be festivals like Lantern Festival in the county. Don't you want to go and see it?"

The most important thing is that Luo Yu has reached the age of marriage, and they can go to the government office to register their marriage.

Hearing what Mu Feng said, Luo Yu nodded happily, "Okay, then we'll set off early. The horses will pull the carriage, and the chickens in the backyard will find food in the bamboo forest by themselves. Don't worry, it's better to visit the gentleman earlier."

"Well, I'll arrange it then."

"Well, Ah Ci will definitely be very happy too!"

"Of course, it's getting late, go to bed! And happy birthday!"

"I am very happy Mu Feng."

Mu Feng touched her face and smiled gently. Luo Yu looked at him for a moment, stunned. It was only after he urged her that she hurried back to the house and fell asleep holding Luo Ci.

She couldn't help but complain about Mu Feng in her heart. Why was he so affectionate? She was almost addicted to it.

Two days passed quickly. Mu Feng looked at the sky and knew that the weather would remain unchanged in the next few days, so he drove a carriage and went to the county with his family of three.

Luo Ci, who was sitting in the carriage, asked in confusion, "Sister, where are we going?"

Luo Yu kissed her, then slowly said, "Let's go to the county, find Uncle Cai and the others, and go see the lanterns."

"See the lanterns? Ah Ci hasn't seen them yet!"

"So let's go together this time!"

Mu Feng also reached out and touched her little head, then drove the carriage slowly.

"Mu Feng, do you know the way to the county? I have never been to the county."

Luo Yu asked Mu Feng in a weak tone.

Mu Feng looked back at her and said patiently, "I've been to the county once or twice, so I know the way. Don't worry, I won't lose you."

"Then we will trust you. Just don't sell us out."

“I can’t bear to sell it!”

Along the way, Luo Yu lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery along the road. He felt bored sitting in the carriage, so he came out and sat outside with Mu Feng to drive the carriage and enjoy the fresh air.

Hearing Mu Feng say that there was still a long way to go, she suddenly had an idea and asked Mu Feng to teach her how to drive a carriage. In case he was not around one day, she would have to learn how to do it.

"Our horse is very obedient. Once you harness it and lead it to the road, it will walk obediently. If you want it to go faster, just whip it, turn it around, and tighten the rope."

“Ah” is it that simple?

"Then I'll try, you show me the way."

Mu Feng handed the rope to her without changing positions. He just took Luo Ci from Luo Yu's arms and taught her how to drive the carriage.

After driving for a while, Luo Yu couldn't help but sigh that her horse was really well-behaved, and she also sincerely felt that driving a horse carriage was not difficult.

However, Luo Ci was feeling sleepy while sitting in the carriage. Mu Feng was afraid that the strong wind outside would make Luo Ci catch a cold, so she stopped her from driving the carriage and asked her to carry Luo Ci back to the carriage and let her sleep inside.

"Carry Ah Ci inside. We will be at the county in less than half an hour. Don't let Ah Ci catch a cold."

"Well, I'll give you the rope. I'll take Ah Ci in, and you drive the carriage well."

After Luo Yu finished speaking, he carried Luo Ci into the car, leaving him outside.

We didn't meet anyone along the way. It was only when we reached the county that we began to see people and horse-drawn carriages one after another.

"Luo Yu, we are almost there. Is Ah Ci awake?"
