Ma Qiao's face immediately turned red: "Oh... that... is a friend..."

Zhu Yuan winked and said, "Just friends?"

Before Ma Qiao could answer, he heard a voice calling from the door: "Ma Qiao?"

Everyone turned around and saw that the door curtain of the private room was still there, and there were several young men standing outside the curtain.

Those people were probably from the same village as Ma Qiao. When they saw the Bai family members present, they immediately showed a curious look:

"Ma Qiao, are you inviting your future wife's family to dinner?"

"Hasn't everyone rejected you? Why are you still not giving up?"

"The Bai Jiyue brothers and sisters won the first prize. Even if you ask for marriage again this time, they probably won't look down on you, right?"

These people were rude in their words, mocking and sarcastic, and in just a few words they explained the past grievances between Ma Qiao and Bai Jiyue clearly.

Xie Ping and Zhu Yuan also became gossipy after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, one of them turned around and saw Xie Ping, and suddenly shouted as if he had discovered a new world: "Oh, Xie Ping is here too!"

Xie Ping immediately stood up and nodded to the man.

The man laughed and said, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, the relationships among the people present today are really complicated!"

After that, he called out to Ma Qiao: "Ma Qiao, do you know who Xie Ping is?"

Ma Qiao looked at him in surprise.

I only heard that person say: "It seems you don't know! Xie Ping is Zhang Suya's husband!"

When this person said this, the others all started laughing.

Bai Jiyue took a few steps forward to put down the door curtain: "We are going to eat, if you are done, please leave first."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Bai Jiyue, you are so generous. Zhang Suya stole Ma Qiao from you, and now you can still have dinner with her man. Are you trying to use her own method to get back at her and snatch her man away?"

The man's last words were blocked out by the fallen door curtain, but were still heard clearly by the people in the private room.

Xie Ping looked at Bai Jiyue in surprise: "This..."

Then he suddenly stared at Ma Qiao and asked: "Have you ever had anything to do with my Su Ya?"

Ma Qiao looked at Bai Jiyue awkwardly and stammered, "It's all in the past."

Zhu Yuan was quick-witted and began to sort out the relationship: "From what they said, this means that Ma Qiao was dating Bai Jiyue at first, but Bai Jiyue rejected Ma Qiao's proposal, so Ma Qiao dated Zhang Suya. Then, for some reason, Zhang Suya's relationship with Ma Qiao didn't work out, so Zhang Suya married Brother Xie?"

Bai Jiyue glared at him.

Zhu Yuan seems to be a very perceptive person, why is he so talkative at this time?

Xie Ping's expression became increasingly solemn.

Bai Jiyue thought to himself, Zhang Suya, it wasn’t me who said anything bad about you!

Bai Jiri quickly changed the subject, and Ma Qiao tried his best to cooperate and finally adjusted the atmosphere back to normal.

But the atmosphere of this meal was not as good as before.

After dinner, the Bai family hired a ox cart and went back to the village.

On the way back, Bai Jiyun rubbed his hands and asked: "Brother, sister, please check to see if your cultivation has improved!"

Bai Jiyue smiled and tapped her nose, concentrating on entering her spiritual root space, and found that her level had indeed increased. Her human race's speed, the craftsman race's flying weapon, and the spirit race's animal language all increased by 1 level.

After she told him about her upgrade, Bai Yiri also smiled and said, "My human race's self-healing and craftsman race's archery have each increased by 1 level."

Bai Jiyun clapped his hands in applause, then said listlessly: "I'm the only one who doesn't have it."

Bai Jiyue stroked her head: "You are still young, there is plenty of time to practice."

Bai Jiri suddenly became worried: "My elder sister and I will go to the capital in half a month. I am really worried about leaving mother, younger sister and Mingyuan at home."

After hearing this, Ming Yuan narrowed his eyes. He didn't want to stay at home with Yan Niang and Bai Jiyun.

"Don't we still have Xiao Hei? He will protect us!" Bai Jiyun said.

Bai Jiri still shook his head: "I'm just afraid that some people have bad intentions and really want to use sneaky tactics against you. It's hard to guard against it."

"What should we do then?" Bai Jiyue also scratched his head.

Yan Niang is too weak, and Bai Jiyun’s training is not enough. It would be terrible if they were ambushed by someone.

Not to mention Ming Yuan, a little kid who can be harmed easily!

The carriage suddenly became quiet and no one spoke.

After a while, Bai Jiyue said to Bai Jinri, "How about letting mother and little sister come with us to Beijing?"

Bai Jiri shook his head: "You need a pass to enter Beijing, and my mother and little sister don't have it, so it's impossible."

He suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "How about we go and ask the governor to see if we can let mother and little sister go over and keep the governor's wife company?"

"This is a good idea, but it seems like it will cause too much trouble for others!" Bai Jiyue said.

"There's no other way. I have to do this for my mother's safety."

Now that the matter was settled, Bai Jiyue and his elder brother no longer had to worry and could go back to prepare for their trip to Beijing.

Clothes and other things are secondary, the main thing is weapons.

Bai Jiri is busy making weapons every day. The membrane from the black spider and the black spider's web that he brought back from the Mountain of Beasts have not been used yet.

Bai Jiyue helped him build a room with stones in the open space behind his house, which was specifically used to make his weapons.

After the original craftsman left, Bai Jiri moved all the tools in his blacksmith shop back home, so now they are just moved to that room.

That room has become Bai Jiri's forging room. On weekdays, when Bai Jiyue has nothing to do, he will help Bai Jiri in the forging room.

After helping out for a few days, Bai Jiyue's craftsman skills were upgraded to craftsmanship! It seems that craftsmanship can be upgraded by forging more weapons.

Five days before the day of entering Beijing, Bai Jiyue was helping Bai Jiri pull the bellows in the forging room, and Bai Jiyun ran in excitedly: "I saw Zhang Suya."

Bai Jiyue didn't even raise his head: "What's so strange about seeing her."

"I heard she was divorced!"

Bai Jiyue paused for a moment, then continued to pump the bellows: "It's not surprising to be divorced. Xie Ping is just a real person, not stupid."

After all, when they were at Yuebin Building, Ma Qiao and his fellow villagers said those things. If Xie Ping was not a fool, he would have doubted them in his heart.

Many people knew what happened to Zhang Suya, so it would be easy for Xie Pingzhen to find out.

It was too late for Zhang Suya to be divorced after so many days. I guess Xie Ping must have gone through a period of intense ideological struggle.

Bai Jiyun gloated: "Now everyone in the village knows about Zhang Suya's affair, and they are secretly laughing at her!"

Bai Jiyue glanced at his sister with a half-smile: "Just keep quiet for the next few days and don't talk too much, okay?"

Bai Jiyun pouted: "What's wrong? Are we afraid of Zhang Suya?"

"A gentleman is afraid of a villain. If you can avoid provoking her, don't provoke her. Who knows if she will trip us up in the dark?"
