"What does it mean to like someone?" Lu Chenghuan asked back.

Song Yu was grinding medicine. Upon hearing this, he paused, thought for a moment, and said, "It's the inner desire that makes one strive for it with all their might."

"As for what I'm learning now, including music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and knitting, I'm also doing my best." Lu Chenghuan said.

Song Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a dream?"

"Dream?" Lu Chenghuan asked.

"It's about what kind of life you want to live in the future, or what kind of person you want to become." Song Yu said.

Lu Chenghuan touched the Tangdou in his arms. The cat's fur was shiny and smooth, and felt very good.

"Support your husband and raise your children, take care of the household chores, and become a good wife and mother like my grandmother." Lu Chenghuan said.

Song Yu's eyes froze slightly, and he didn't refute her words. Instead, he asked, "You're talking about your daily life in the future. Putting aside these daily lives, do you have anything you want?"

Lu Chenghuan lowered his head in thought. After a while, he raised his head, looked around, and then said, "I think I want to be like my father, traveling all over the country and making a lot of money."

Song Yu nodded: "That's a very good goal. We can work towards it."

"Don't you think my idea is unorthodox?" Lu Chenghuan asked.

Song Yu tilted his head slightly, smiled at Lu Chenghuan, and said firmly: "No, everyone's life deserves respect.

Besides, what if you're unconventional? As long as it doesn't bother others, the world is so big, and you're not the only woman who thinks this way.

Maybe you will become the first richest woman in the future, with your own business and caravan, and become the best in the world."

Song Yu was looking into the future with Lu Chenghuan, who was stunned by what he said.

If what she said was already heretical, then what Song Yu said was simply fantasy.

"How, how is it possible?" Lu Chenghuan's voice stuttered because of Song Yu's shocking answer.

Song Yu bent down slightly, looking at her at eye level, and said, "Is it possible? How can you tell if you haven't tried it? But you are a bit harsh on women here. If you really want to go this way, I'm afraid you will have to endure a lot of hardships."

"I suffered a lot." Lu Chenghuan repeated Song Yu's words.

Song Yu nodded: "Yes, but you have the Lu family behind you. They are your resistance and your confidence. You may try to convince them first. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you start, you just need to move towards your goal."

Lu Chenghuan is unfortunate but also lucky. Unfortunately, he lost his mother early, his father was busy, and his brother was away studying.

Although I am taken care of by my grandmother personally, the age gap is still there.

There are some thoughts that I can share with my mother, but not with my grandmother.

But she was also lucky, because she was born in the Lu family. At least she had enough food and clothing and could study, which was better than half of the women in this world.

If she wants to do business, although there will be twists and turns, as long as she overcomes the initial obstacles, the road ahead will be easier than that of an ordinary woman.

Even if she fails, she still has a way out.

Song Yu did not deliberately preach anything, nor did she deny the feudal society's dogma advising women to take care of their husbands and children.

Social forms are caused by social development.

In ancient times when technology and modernization were backward, men were inevitably dominant.

Even in modern times, gender equality is not universal, so each era has its own rules of survival.

As for those who emerge as unexpected figures and are unique, they are just individuals. They are not against this era, they are just taking a path different from the masses.

Three days later, Song Yu's things were almost ready, and she went to Youfang's yard again. In addition to giving her a follow-up consultation, she also got some information from her.

Youfang's former sisters had heard of a person called the Ghost Doctor.

The last time we heard about him was a month ago.

I heard it from a swordsman in the Jiangnan region. He had seen a ghost doctor in Jiangnan, but I don't know whether it is true or not.

"Thank you for finding out the information for me." Song Yu said to Youfang.

Youfang said, "Don't say that, young lady. You treated me and gave me the medicine that allowed me to save my other sisters. I should be grateful to you."

Song Yu asked: "What are your plans next?"

Youfang was silent, as if she had not yet found her future path.

Song Yu asked, "Would you like to weave?"

Youfang looked up at Song Yu with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Song Yu said, "If you're willing, I can introduce you to work in the Lu family's cloth workshop?"

"But my identity." Youfang hesitated.

Song Yu said, "If you mind your status, the Lu family still has property in Pingkang City. You can go there, but you will have to leave your hometown."

Youfang didn't expect that Song Yu considered her so comprehensively.

She suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, you are so kind. I don't know how to repay you."

Song Yu pulled her up and said, "You don't have to repay me. It's just that even if you go to Pingkang City, your identity might be known to others. I just hope that if that day ever comes, you can safely overcome the pain caused by those rumors."

Youfang's tears welled up in her eyes. In all these years, Song Yu was the first person who cared so much about her.

They were just casual acquaintances.

A long, long time later, long enough for Youfang to face those rumors, she still remembered what Song Yu said to her. She was also learning from Song Yu to bring hope to those who were struggling in the quagmire.

"Young Master, the assassin has been found." Chao You walked into the study with a letter.

Lu Shangbai put down the account book and looked up.

Chao You said, "It's someone from Tianyinfang."

"Tianyinfang?" Lu Shangbai asked.

Chao You nodded, handed the letter in his hand to Lu Shangbai, and said, "The Third Young Master's wife is from Tianyinfang."

Lu Shangbai's face turned cold. He opened the envelope, and after he saw the contents clearly, he slammed the letter on the table.

With a gloomy face, he said, "They really are a fight to the death."

"The eldest young master and the others have been so blatant, should we still endure it?" Chao You's face was also full of anger.

Lu Shangbai said, "Endure? Now that we have the evidence, why should we endure?"

"What if they refuse to admit it?" Chao You was also worried.

"Don't admit it? Then produce the evidence." Lu Shangbai made a decision this time.

He could ignore the minor fights in the past, but now his life is at stake. If he doesn't fight back, he will only die.

Song Yuqing counted the things he needed, and Su He helped to pack up.

Lu Chenghuan also came: "Sister Song, are you really leaving?"

Song Yu no longer tried to correct her address for him, and took the time to answer, "Yes, everything is almost ready, it's time to leave."

"Can we not leave?" Lu Chenghuan asked tentatively.

After just a few days of getting along, Lu Chenghuan liked Song Yu from the bottom of her heart. Even if she would not marry her father, she still liked Song Yu.

"We meet again in the mountains and rivers. Let's make an appointment to say goodbye next time." Song Yu touched her head and said.

Lu Chenghuan asked, "Shouldn't it be the next time we meet?"

Song Yu smiled and said, "Looking forward to saying goodbye again means we are destined to meet again."

A meeting with farewell is better than a reunion with just passing by.
