After hearing what was said, the shopkeeper of Zang Yaxuan had a clear idea in his mind. After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and left.

However, he left two food boxes, saying that the young master had asked Zang Yaxuan to prepare new dishes and sent them to the ladies to try.

Du Wenxiu and his companions knew the truth very well, but they saw it through without saying anything. They smiled and sent the shopkeeper away.

He turned around and smiled at Yue Niang without saying a word, and his smile made her feel uneasy.

"This guy really is just a business deal, and he's not here, so why bother to be so... well, thorough."

When she said this, even A'luo couldn't help laughing and bent over, not to mention Du Wenchan, who laughed so hard that her stomach hurt and hid in A'luo's arms, crying "Ouch, ouch" non-stop.

Yue Niang glanced at them and said angrily, "You all seem to be laughing so hard that you can't eat this dish. It's better for me to eat it alone."

Du Wenxiu knew that she had to be moderate in joking, and if she really annoyed her, it would ruin Chi Linghua's good deeds.

He went forward to take the food box, smiling and saying, "Yes, it's just a business transaction. Who knows that our family's cooking skills are good, and maybe he came to learn from us."

After hearing this, Yue Niang relaxed her expression, walked forward and opened the food box, and sure enough, there were some delicious dishes inside.

So he took them to the main room one by one, warmed up a pot of good wine, and came out to see why Xiaohu had not returned yet.

If you don’t come back soon, the food will get cold.

"The child has grown up and has his own thoughts." A Luo sighed and sat down.

"It's such a big deal to bring Lu's family here, but you didn't even discuss it with us."

"What Auntie said is so boring. How can he discuss it with us? Can he even say it?"

Du Wenchan said, "Could he come over here and kowtow to his sister and admit his fault? He should explain in detail why he brought Lu Shi with him? I think he has grown up now if he handles it this way."

"Yeah." Du Wenxiu also nodded slightly.

"He should know that if we let Zang Yaxuan's caravan bring an extra woman, they will definitely inform us."

"When the time comes, we will know from our attitude. It is much better than him saying it out loud. Xiaohu is like this today. I think Yulan will be relieved if she knows it."

"But he brought Lu away so brazenly without considering his sister's situation. He will definitely cause trouble for Sister Yulan." Yue Niang was indignant.

Du Wenxiu smiled faintly: "Everything is determined by fate. It is beyond our control. She has already chosen that path. I just hope she has a good outcome."

"Alas, she is my biological mother after all. No one can do better than Xiaohu." A Luo sighed.

They didn't know that outside the half-open door, Xiaohu, who they had been talking about for a long time, was already in tears.

Just as Du Wenxiu thought, he used this to test their attitudes.

Yes, if I don't take her with me, sooner or later Du Wenxiu and the others will be harmed. Even if I take every precaution, if there is even the slightest mistake, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

If he stayed away from the Lu family, it would put Du Wenxiu and the others in a more dangerous situation, and it was not what a son should do.

Don't talk about compassion. If you even abandon your own mother and just live a good life for yourself -

Even I would curse you as a "beast". From now on, how can I talk about gentlemanly integrity and loyalty? Who will trust me?

He remained silent, secretly shedding tears, and went out for a walk away from their eyes and ears, not returning until it was almost dark.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw A Luo standing at the door of the main room, waving at him: "Xiao Hu is back, come to the table quickly, there are delicious dishes today."

Xiao Hu smiled brightly, waved his little hand at A Luo, and said with a smile: "Aunt and sisters, eat first, I'll go wash my hands and come back."

It was already time to light the lamps. Under the dim light, several people were sitting around the table. Xiaohu washed his hands and came over to sit next to A'luo.

"Tomorrow our little brother Xiaohu will go on a long journey, so today's wine is for his farewell. Now that I am not feeling well, I will use tea instead of wine. I wish little brother Xiaohu a safe journey to the capital!"

Du Wenxiu raised his glass first and said these words.

Xiao Hu's eyes immediately turned red again, and Du Wenchan kept laughing at him: "They say men don't shed tears easily, so please don't shed tears and make us laugh."

"Wan Hu will definitely remember the kindness that my sisters and aunts have shown me, and I will definitely repay them one day!"

Xiaohu picked up the wine glass with a light layer of wine in his hands, raised it up to signal to the few people, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"Oh, kid, don't drink so quickly." Seeing Xiaohu coughing due to choking, A Luo hurriedly got up and poured him some hot tea.

Xiaohu's cough eased a little after he drank the tea.

"From now on, when you go out, don't drink like you do at home. It's harmful to your health, and you'll be easily taken advantage of by bad people. If you get tricked and suffer, it won't be good."

Du Wenxiu said this, and then remembered that Bi Fengyou insisted on taking Xiaohu to the capital, but that was not to do anything good.

"Yeah." Xiaohu nodded, choking a little. Afraid that they would see him and make fun of him, he quickly lowered his head to cover it up.

Yue Niang couldn't help but soften her heart: "Don't be so petty, be open and aboveboard when you go out. We are your backers, you are not like those guys who don't have backers and can be bullied at will."

"When you get to the capital, if you need money, ask Zang Yaxuan's people to bring back a letter. I won't say much, but I will do my best to help you with what we have."

Xiaohu couldn't help it any longer. Did these women who were so sincere to him know what he was doing behind their backs?

The more I thought about it, the heavier my heart felt. I lowered my head and cried non-stop.

Du Wenxiu and the others could not control their emotions and kept wiping away their tears.

After crying for a while, Yue Niang stopped crying first and said with a smile, "Look at how useless we are. Brother Xiaohu has gone to the capital to pursue his career, but we are crying and making a fool of ourselves."

"Sister Yue Niang is really something. It was you who made Xiao Hu cry, but now you say we are useless. You are the one who has to be the good guy and the bad guy."

The tip of Du Wenchan's nose was red and her eyes were still moist, and she began to scold Yue Niang.

"Okay, okay, it's not all my fault. Since it's my fault, I'll drink a glass as punishment. Don't bother with me."

Yue Niang filled her empty glass with wine and said with a smile.

A Luo felt something was strange, so he went forward to grab her wine glass, but she nimbly dodged it.

"Good A'Luo, stop making trouble. It is said that a glass of wine can relieve a thousand sorrows. Now I will try it out. This annoying sorrow can really be relieved by this thing..."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

Then, taking advantage of A'luo's inattention, he filled his own glass again and held the wine jug to avoid A'luo's pursuit.

Du Wenxiu quietly pulled A Luo and shook her head slightly under her worried gaze.

Ever since she left Qiu Yong, she looked as if nothing had happened.

It's just that they were married at a young age, so how can the love between them just disappear?

She was feeling depressed, but she didn't tell anyone about it.

Whenever you wake up from a dream at midnight, do you also cry quietly while hugging the quilt?
