After a day, the young man looked much better.

There was a sound of horse hooves and shouts outside the carriage: "Young Master! Young Master!"

Shangguan Haochen sat up upon hearing the voice, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes: "My people are here."

The carriage stopped and Su Yue and others got off.

A group of people in formal attire stood respectfully before Shangguan Haochen. The leader clasped his fists and said, "Sir, I'm sorry for the hardship you've endured."

Shangguan Haochen waved his hand, turned to face Su Yue and his group, and saluted solemnly: "I am Shangguan Haochen, and I will never forget your life-saving grace.

But I have a mission to complete, so I have to leave.

If we meet again someday, I will definitely repay your kindness."

Su Yue responded with a smile: "Mr. Shangguan, you are too polite. Take care on your journey."

Lin Yuxuan and Gu Qingyan also bowed.

Liang Junze nodded: "I hope you can complete the task successfully."

Shangguan Haochen clasped his fists again, then climbed onto his horse, looking back at everyone with a deep glance: "Goodbye!"

Then he led his men away in a cloud of dust.

Su Yue looked at their receding backs and murmured to herself, "I hope everything goes well for him."

The group also set out on the journey to Yangzhou again.

At the gate of Yangzhou City, Su Yue and others looked at the prosperous scene in the city with joy on their faces.

Su Yue opened her arms excitedly and shouted, "We're finally in Yangzhou!"

The crowd shuttled through the bustling streets and soon arrived at the three-courtyard house that had been arranged in advance.

The vermilion gate is magnificent, and the stone lions at the door are majestic.

Su Yue walked forward first and pushed open the door. The yard was filled with the fragrance of flowers and pavilions and towers were scattered around.

She turned around with joy and looked at the people behind her: "This will be our home from now on!"

Lin Yuxuan walked into the yard, looked around, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "This yard is really nice."

Liang Junze also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the environment is quiet and pleasant."

Gu Qingyan was busy directing the servants to carry the luggage and arranging various matters in an orderly manner.

Su Yue ran around the yard happily, like a child: "We can plant some flowers and plants here, and build a swing over there."

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw Su Yue's excitement, and they were full of anticipation for their future life in this new home.

As night falls, lanterns are lit in the yard, making the surroundings warm and bright.

Su Yue smiled mysteriously: "Today I have something good to reward everyone."

After that, she turned and walked into the room, and soon she took out a variety of delicacies from the space.

There are fragrant roast chicken, exquisite pastries, and jars of fine wine.

When everyone saw these delicacies, their eyes widened and they couldn't help swallowing.

Su Yue smiled and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this period. Come and have a taste!"

As he said this, he distributed the food to everyone with his own hands.

Su Yue also prepared food for the servants at home. They accepted the food and thanked her one after another, their faces filled with happy smiles: "Thank you, Madam!"

Lin Yuxuan picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up and he praised it endlessly: "This cake is so delicious!"

Gu Qingyan also tasted the wine and squinted his eyes in satisfaction: "Good wine!"

Liang Junze can only drink fruit juice.

Everyone sat together, enjoying the sumptuous dinner, and laughter echoed in the yard.

Gu Qingyan and Lin Yuxuan drank one glass of wine after another, their faces flushed, and their speech began to lisp.

Gu Qingyan raised his wine glass and pointed at Lin Yuxuan unsteadily: "You guys always love to contradict me!"

Lin Yuxuan was not to be outdone, and slammed the table and shouted back: "Humph, it's obviously you who are unreasonable!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank another glass of wine.

Su Yue looked at them like this, laughing so hard that tears almost came out. She covered her stomach with one hand and pointed at them with the other: "They started it again!"

Liang Junze was also grinning from ear to ear, gently pulling Su Yue's hand: "Let them make trouble, we'll just watch and have fun."

Gu Qingyan heard Su Yue's laughter, turned around, and said drunkenly: "Yuer, don't laugh, I... I'm sober!"

Before he could finish his words, he stumbled and almost fell.

Seeing this, Lin Yuxuan burst into laughter and pointed at Gu Qingyan, mocking him, "You're the only one who's still awake? You can't even stand steadily!"

The two of them were arguing with each other.

The laughter of Su Yue and Liang Junze echoed in the yard, adding more joyful atmosphere to this beautiful night.

As soon as Su Yue stood up, Gu Qingyan suddenly pulled her into his arms.

He hugged Su Yue tightly, looking like a wronged child: "Where are you going? It's my turn today." His eyes were drunken, but full of expectation.

Su Yue was startled by his sudden action, her face flushed, and she pushed him gently: "Gu Qingyan, you've drunk too much, let me go."

Gu Qingyan hugged her tighter, buried his head in Su Yue's neck, and muttered: "I'm not drunk, I won't let go, today is mine."

Liang Junze and Lin Yuxuan, who were standing by, saw this scene and smiled at each other. Lin Yuxuan waved his hand and said, "We'll withdraw first. You guys take your time..."

Having said that, he quickly pulled Liang Junze away.

Su Yue was embarrassed and annoyed, and said coquettishly: "Gu Qingyan, stop making trouble. What will happen if others see us?"

Gu Qingyan raised his head and looked straight at Su Yue, his eyes blurred but full of affection: "I don't care, I just don't want you to leave."

Su Yue sighed helplessly and coaxed softly: "Okay, okay, I'll help you back to the room, stop making trouble."

As he spoke, he struggled to help Gu Qingyan up and walked towards the room.

After entering the room, Su Yue helped Gu Qingyan sit down on the bed and turned to get some hot water.

After a while, she came back with a basin of hot water, wrung out the towel, walked to Gu Qingyan, and gently wiped his face.

Gu Qingyan just stared at Su Yue, his eyes focused and ardent, without moving at all, as if he wanted to engrave her appearance deeply in his heart.

Su Yue felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and scolded him, "What are you looking at? Turn around and wipe your neck."

Gu Qingyan, however, did not obey and continued to stare at her intently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Yuer, you are so beautiful."

Su Yue's face turned even redder, and she quickened her movements: "Stop talking so much, wipe it off quickly and go to bed."

Su Yue looked at Gu Qingyan's coquettish look and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Her eyes curved into crescents, and she reached out and tapped Gu Qingyan's forehead: "You, you are so serious on weekdays, but you become like this after drinking a little."

Gu Qingyan grabbed Su Yue's hand, rubbed it against his cheek, and said softly, "Yuer, don't laugh at me."

Su Yue shook her head helplessly and continued to wipe him: "Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you. I really can't do anything about you."

Gu Qingyan looked at Su Yue, whose eyes were full of smiles. He pulled her hard and asked her to sit on his lap. His breathing was a little unstable. He whispered softly in Su Yue's ear: "Yuer, a good night is worth a thousand gold."

Su Yue's face flushed instantly, and she struggled to get up: "A Yan, don't do this!"

Gu Qingyan hugged Su Yue tightly, not letting her have any chance to break free, slowly lifted her chin, and kissed her affectionately.

Su Yue was startled at first, and then gradually immersed in this passionate kiss.

Time seems to stand still at this moment, and everything around becomes unimportant

The breathing of the two people gradually became rapid, and the warmth between them was transmitted to each other.

The moonlight shines through the window onto the ground, reflecting the intertwined figures of the two people.

Their kiss deepened, as if they wanted to absorb each other into their souls.

It was unknown how long it took for this lingering kiss to end. Su Yue's face flushed, her eyes blurred, while Gu Qingyan gazed at her with deep affection.

The night was still long, and the candlelight in the room flickered gently, illuminating the two people's loving faces. Su Yue breathed slightly and leaned in Gu Qingyan's arms.

The two hugged each other again, their heartbeats intertwined, as if composing a moving melody.

In the tranquility of the night, the sweetness that belongs only to them continues to spread.
