Su Wanning looked at Mo Lan who was about to catch up, "You stay here."

Mo Lan saw the coldness in Su Wanning's eyes and stopped. He had also heard what was said in the yard just now.

He didn't believe that Zhan Beiwang would do such a thing. There must be other reasons.

But he is not Zhan Beiwang, so there is no way to explain for him. He can only pray silently in his heart for Zhan Beiwang and wish him good luck.

Su Wanning and the other person walked to the beach, left their shoes and socks on the shore, and walked towards the beach on the sand.

The two walked for a while without saying a word.

Seeing Su Wanning stop, the two sat on the beach and looked at the surging sea water.

"how?"

Su Wanning looked at Li Jingyu, "What do you mean?"

"When Xiao Tong said those words, although you didn't show it on your face, your eyes were filled with complicated emotions." Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning, "Are you very sad?"

Su Wanning looked at the rolling waves not far away with an expressionless face.

"Maybe. I have more important things to do in the next while. I don't have time to ask about those things, and there's no need to."

"You are husband and wife, it's better to ask some things clearly."

"Precisely because we are husband and wife, there are some things that cannot be asked clearly." Su Wanning raised a bleak smile.

Li Jingyu opened his mouth but didn't say anything else. Some things cannot be explained clearly. Everyone lies, including him.

After a while, Su Wanning remembered that she hadn't seen Liu Yan'er the two times she met Li Jingyu. She looked at Li Jingyu and said, "Where's Liu Yan'er? I didn't see her the last two times I met you."

Li Jingyu patted the sand on his hands and said, "A woman controlled by a poisonous insect, I will naturally give her whatever she wants."

"So what's she like now..." Su Wanning didn't continue, but she could already imagine the outcome. "Isn't she your woman? You should be able to save her."

"She has no value to me." Li Jingyu looked at Su Wanning as if she were mentally retarded. "Why should I save her?"

"You guys were right in front of us..."

Li Jingyu interrupted Su Wanning before she could finish her words, "Don't forget what the world says about me, and I am just that kind of person."

"You accompanied me for a walk today and asked me all sorts of questions. Could it be that I am also valuable to you now?" Su Wanning pointed at herself and looked at Li Jingyu.

Li Jingyu stood up and looked at Su Wanning with interest, "I'll go back first."

After saying that, he turned around and left without waiting for Su Wanning to respond.

Su Wanning looked at Li Jingyu who was leaving and was about to call out a few times, but as soon as she turned around, she saw Zhan Beiwang coming towards her.

Zhan Beiwang walked over to Su Wanning and sat down beside her. "Why are you here? Have you finished your morning business?"

Zhan Beiwang hummed softly, feeling uncomfortable as he thought about the scene he had just seen. Then he looked at Su Wanning, who looked as if nothing had happened, so he didn't say anything else.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Su Wanning didn't ask any more questions. Feeling that it was about time, she stood up and walked towards the shore.

Everything was almost ready. Mo Lan and the others placed the square table from the village chief's house where they planned to build the house. Various tributes were placed on it, and a piece of paper with the word "auspicious" was placed on the four corners of the land.

Lu Qizheng walked to Su Wanning's side and looked at her, "Miss Su, are you here for the groundbreaking ceremony today?"

Su Wanning saw Lu Qi looking around her, so she turned her head and looked beside her, probably looking for Zhan Beiwang. "Uncle, I can do it."

Lu Qizheng nodded and reminded Su Wanning, "Pregnant women need to stay away."

"I can do it." Su Wanning smiled and took a step forward to prove that she was not pregnant.

Seeing this, Lu Qizhen didn't say much. He took Su Wanning to the altar, picked up the incense, lit it, and put it in the incense burner.

Just as I was about to ask what else to do, I heard an old man in the corner shouting.

"The daughter of the Su family has reached adulthood. Now, we are building a new house. As we break ground, I wish you peace, success, and happiness."

After she finished speaking, Su Wanning looked at the incense burner in front of her. Her eyes, which were originally looking upwards, suddenly turned to the east.

She instantly got goosebumps all over her body.

"Wood direction, auspicious!"

Lu Qizhen handed the shovel tied with red silk to Su Wanning. Su Wanning took it and dug a hoe in the east according to Lu Qizhen's instructions.

"to make!"

There was a burst of cheers all around, and the people around ran to the ground where Su Wanning was preparing to build a house.

Lu Qizhen took a cloth bag filled with things from Mo Lan and handed it to Su Wanning.

After Su Wanning opened it, she saw peanuts and various candies inside. She grabbed a handful and threw them into the air.

"I wish you peace and success."

"Second wish for happiness and prosperity."

"My three wishes are for good fortune."

"The four wishes have yielded fruitful results."

"........"

"........"

Soon the cloth bag in Su Wanning's hand was empty.

"We'll officially start building the house tomorrow." Lu Qizheng walked over to Su Wanning and said, "The village will arrange for someone to look after it. I'll ask Aunt Cuizhi to help you find a place to live later."

Su Wanning nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find Aunt Cuizhi later."

Mo Lan and the other man packed up the things on the homestead and walked to Su Wanning's side. "Mo Ran and I will be here for the time being."

Su Wanning nodded, but they couldn't stay in the inn all the time. They could ask in the village if there were any extra houses for them to stay in.

The crowd quickly dispersed, and Su Wanning asked Mo Lan and the other man to carry the square table to Lu Qing'an.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I ran into Lu Jingtong.

Lu Jingtong was eating the peanuts he had just grabbed. He handed the peanuts to Su Wanning and asked, "Do you want some peanuts?"

Su Wanning took the peanuts, peeled them and put them into her mouth. "Is your aunt home?"

Lu Jingtong shook his head. "Are you looking for him to find a vacant house to live in?"

"Is there?" Su Wanning asked.

"Don't worry, my mother has already found one for you." Lu Jingtong said, glancing to the side and seeing Zhan Beiwang walking towards them, he cursed softly.

Zhan Beiwang walked up to Su Wanning and was about to say something when Lu Jingtong beat him to the punch. "Have you finished shopping for clothes with your concubine? You couldn't find anyone to help with such a big event just now, and now that you're done, you're here again. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were doing it on purpose."

Only then did Zhan Beiwang notice Lu Jingtong standing next to Su Wanning, and he also recognized him as the clerk from the garment shop.

His face showed panic for a moment, and he looked at Su Wanning. Seeing that she looked as if it had nothing to do with her, his heart was hurt.

Li Jingyu in the yard heard Lu Jingtong's voice and called out, "Little boy, pour me a glass of water."
