"Have you found anyone?"

In the mountains.

Zhang Xiucheng's face was gloomy as he questioned his returning subordinates once again.

"Reporting to you, sir, apart from traces of wolf activity, we have found nothing else."

Guan Suyi has been gone for almost two days.

There's one thing I didn't say, and it's likely already in the wolf's belly.

A frail woman in the deep mountains and forests had absolutely no hope of survival.

Zhang Xiucheng gritted his teeth, "If she's not on the mountain, then we'll look for her in the nearby villages at the foot of the mountain. Maybe she's gone there. I want to see her alive or dead. I want to tear those maids around her to pieces."

"Yes!"

Looking at the setting sun, his face was veiled with a gloomy expression.

Guan Suyi, I gave you a chance. If you fall into my hands this time, I will make you wish you were dead.

……

……

Guan Suyi felt like she had slept for a very, very long time, without even having a dream.

Since the Chang family's incident, she hasn't had a single peaceful night's sleep.

When I woke up, I was still in the same small room.

The last rays of the setting sun streamed in through the window, and a bunch of wildflowers sat in a vase by the window, creating a serene and beautiful scene.

Just as she was wondering if she was dreaming.

The next second, I heard a knock on the door.

"Guan Suyi, get up, it'll be dark by the time you get back to sleep."

Qin Niangzi patted the door a few times and came in directly. Guan Suying was sleeping in her room.

Seeing the woman on the bed staring at him, he couldn't help but touch his face.

"Why are you looking at me? Even if you look, I'm still prettier than you."

If she had lived in the countryside exposed to the wind and sun before, it might have affected her beauty. But since recognizing Yunyun as her niece, she felt that her beauty had reached a new level, and the slightly haggard Guan Suyi was no match for her at all.

Guan Suying smiled. "Qin Xiaoyun, you've never told me how you survived?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyun immediately sat down on the chair and crossed her legs.

"I'm so beautiful, it would be such a waste if I died! Besides, I'm the only person in this world who can outshine you, so if I died, wouldn't you be the only one who's beautiful?"

"You have to admit I'm prettier than you. If it weren't for me back then, that shameless bastard Xuanyuan Hongye would definitely have made his eyes on you."

Guan Suying did almost end up in the palace back then, but putting that aside for now, she was genuinely surprised by Qin Xiaoyun's rough sitting posture and his tiptoeing.

"What happened between you and the Emperor?"

"What emperor?"

Lin Shuyun appeared at the door, her eyes gleaming with gossip.

"You must have misheard me. What emperor? I meant pale yellow. When I was young, yellow was the most beautiful color for me." Madam Qin said without changing her expression.

This explanation is rather far-fetched.

Seeing this, Lin Shuyun was no longer curious. "Aunt, beautiful lady, dinner is ready."

Qin Niangzi raised an eyebrow. "Alright, why do you only call her 'Great Beauty'? Aren't I a great beauty too?"

"Beautiful, they're all beautiful, so beautiful I don't know which one to look at, hehe."

Lin Shuyun stared at the two beauties like a lovesick fool; each was beautiful in her own way.

If she looked like that, she'd be so arrogant!

"My beautiful lady, try the nourishing soup I made especially for you. Do you like it?"

The soup in front of Guan Suying was a separate pot, in which she added ginseng from her spatial storage, making it an extremely nourishing tonic.

The beautiful woman has a heart condition, which she can treat with her supernatural abilities, but it's a bit too abrupt and hard to explain. Using the ginseng from her spatial storage should also have some effect.

This time, the annoying Xiu Gu didn't say a word, but no one paid any attention to her either.

Guan Suying drank every last drop of soup, amidst the envious glances of those around her.

Then he said, "Tian'er, Yunyun, to avoid any unforeseen complications, I plan to leave after dinner."

"Where to?" Qin Niangzi was the first to ask.

"I'll go to the county first. I have some questions for Dean Bai." Guan Suying's words were just an excuse.

Zhang Xiucheng wouldn't let her off easily. Afraid of causing trouble for the village, she hid whenever villagers came these past two days.

Lin Shuyun said, "Husband, go and send the beauty to the county. I'll come find you in a few days when the house is finished."

Just as Jiang Changtian was about to speak, Lin Shuyun spoke up before him.

"Listen to me, I'm really worried about the beautiful lady going out alone."

Jiang Changtian's forces of wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and cloud, as well as the golden snake, disappeared. Only Tingni remained, while the others were taken away from Guan Suyi's side.

Seeing that Lin Shuyun's tone was certain and that he wasn't expected to refute her, Jiang Changtian nodded, realizing that there were indeed too many hidden dangers in the village.

Qin Niangzi looked at Guan Suyi and said, "Her appearance is really too eye-catching. Yunyun, make her face look ugly."

"And mine too, I'll make it look uglier too."

Qin Niangzi raised an eyebrow at Guan Suyi, "See? I'm very fair. Don't think I'm deliberately targeting you."

Guan Suyi smiled.

After dinner, Lin Shuyun fiddled with the faces of the two beauties.

Even Xiu Gu, who had always disliked Lin Shuyun, couldn't help but sigh.

"This disguise technique is truly amazing. It completely transforms him into two different people, and there are no traces of a skin mask on his face."

The young general's face must also have been disguised using this magical technique.

If the lady hadn't recognized him first, she would never have dared to recognize the young general when she saw him outside.

This Lin woman is indeed quite capable; after drinking the health-preserving soup she made, the lady's illness seems to have improved a lot.

"Let's hurry and leave while it's dark and no one's around," Lin Shuyun said, arranging for a donkey cart.

Fortunately, Tingni knew how to drive the donkey cart; otherwise, they would have had to walk.

Jiang Changtian was about to speak when Lin Shuyun interrupted him, whispering in his ear, "Husband, wait for me to come and have some meat with you."

Jiang Changtian's ears turned red instantly, and he forgot what he was going to say.

Lin Shuyun chuckled and patted the donkey's rump.

No sooner had Jiang Changtian left than Gu Nanfeng arrived in a hurry.

Seeing that Jiang Changtian was not there, he said directly to Lin Shuyun, "I have some things to take care of. I will take the three children with me for the time being. We can talk about it when we are in the county later."

Gu Chen began to explain, "Madam Lin, my uncle..."

Lin Shuyun pinched his cheek. "Alright, kid, stop explaining. Go to the county with your uncle. I was planning to hire you to watch the house, but now that you've found your relatives, I don't want you to live in this house anymore. Go on."

Gu Chen blushed completely. Jiang Changtian was his older brother, and Lin Niangzi was his sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, it was their sister-in-law who saved them back then.

Gu Nanfeng is here too. Lin Shuyun stretched and said, "Let's go, Aunt, Brother Xiaoqing, Old Man, we should go back to sleep."

"Have the construction workers come again tomorrow. Once the big courtyard is finished, we won't have to worry about not having enough room."

Xiaoqing was about to speak when she saw how carefree she was.

Old Xu muttered, "Alright, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Changtian, Changtian's wife, are you home?"
