Lin Shuyun hadn't returned yet, and Old Man Xu was sitting in the kitchen feeding the little one.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the two of them looked out at the door.

She has come back?

"I'll go open the door." Old Xu hurriedly got up to open the door.

When it turned out that it wasn't Lin Shuyun outside the door, she immediately slammed the door shut again.

"Who?" Jiang Changtian asked, standing in the courtyard.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the person outside shouted, "Brother, are you home? Open the door for me!"

"What are you doing here? We've already separated the family. If you have nothing to do, go back to your own home!"

The voice was Jiang Shuixian's, and Jiang Changtian's expression was icy.

He felt an inexplicable aversion to the Jiang family.

Jiang Shuixian was furious. She had almost gotten her hand caught in the door just now. She shouted through the door, "I'm here to deliver some kind of invitation to you. If you don't want it, I'll throw it away!"

"Admission card?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Changtian went to open the door.

Sure enough, Jiang Shuixian was dressed in red and green, holding a card in her hand with the four large characters "Mishan Academy" written on it.

"How did you end up with the invitation card?" Jiang Changtian frowned.

Jiang Shuixian noticed that her eldest brother's facial injuries had healed considerably, and he looked better than her second and third brothers.

Such beautiful eyes and brows, yet he looked at her with hostility.

He pursed his lips and muttered to himself, "No wonder Mother sometimes calls my older brother a bastard."

“A young master delivered it yesterday evening. I said I would bring him to see you, but he didn’t come. He just put this down and left. Mother was going to use it to start a fire, but I stopped her.”

That's obviously a lie; no one else knew anything about that name card.

Jiang Changtian reached out, but Jiang Shuixian dodged it immediately.

He raised his chin to look at Jiang Changtian, "This thing is very important to you, isn't it? I've done you a huge favor. Here's the money."

She had inquired and found out that the academy was in the county town. She wanted to go there when she had money.

That young master arrived in a carriage; he was clearly from a wealthy and noble family. If she could marry him…

Jiang Shuixian blushed as soon as she thought about it.

"You still want money? How can you be so shameless?" Old Xu mocked from the side.

"What's it to you, old man!" Jiang Shuixian said angrily. "You can't make me come all this way for nothing. Fine, don't pay me, but give me something else in return."

"You stole my bedding last time, and I haven't settled the score with you yet. Well, you've just delivered this right to my doorstep."

Jiang Changtian looked over upon hearing the sound and saw Lin Shuyun arriving in a carriage.

Her face was delicate and fair in the sunlight. She looked like a frail woman, yet she had a touch of heroic spirit.

It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.

Lin Shuyun nimbly jumped down at the door and snatched the admission card directly from Jiang Shuixian's hand.

"Give it back to me! This is mine, what right do you have to take it!" Jiang Shuixian exclaimed angrily.

"That's really strange. Why should you say it's all yours? Why don't you just say that even God himself is yours!"

As Lin Shuyun spoke, she picked up the broom that was standing behind the door and was about to hit Jiang Shuixian with it.

Jiang Shuixian screamed and hid behind Jiang Changtian.

"Big brother, big brother, help me! This shrew you married is going to kill me!"

Jiang Changtian yanked Jiang Shuixian out from behind him, his voice icy, "Watch your voice. Consider those two quilts from last time as payment. I won't ask you for them back. Go back now, and don't come here again!"

Jiang Shuixian lost her balance and fell to the ground.

With tears welling up in her eyes, she looked at Jiang Changtian and said, "Brother, even though we've separated the family, I'm still your sister. Is this how you treat me?"

"You used to love me the most when I was little, how have you changed so much? Are you still my real brother?"

"I've been so kind to you, and all I've gotten is an ungrateful wretch. You still have the nerve to cry here? Get out of here, or my fists won't be so merciful and will teach you a lesson about what pain really means."

Lin Shuyun clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking.

They didn't hit anyone because Jiang Shuixian delivered the calling card; if they had argued any further, things might have turned out differently.

"You're bullying me! I'm going to tell my parents!"

Jiang Shuixian burst into tears and ran away.

Uncle Xu scoffed, "What kind of people are you all? You're just lucky to have married Yun. Otherwise, Yun would have had a wonderful life if she had married someone else. Why did she have to suffer like this with you?"

Then he called out to Lin Shuyun, who was moving things, "Yun girl, don't rush, I know a few talented young men..."

Jiang Changtian, clutching the name card, interrupted Old Man Xu with a sinister air.

"Uncle Xu, don't forget who asked you to stay."

"What did I say? I didn't say anything," Old Xu said innocently.

"What are you having for dinner, Yun girl?"

"rice!"

During the meal, Lin Shuyun asked to see Jiang Changtian's admission card.

There's a pavilion painted on it, and the calligraphy is also very beautiful.

“This invitation is really beautiful. When my husband goes to study in the county town, let’s go there too.”

Lin Shuyun thought to herself, "Living apart won't do; I won't be able to absorb the energy treasure anymore."

Let's wait until her powers are fully restored before making any decisions.

"The enrollment date is the day after tomorrow, so we have to set off tomorrow!"

The next day, the three of them packed their things and prepared to leave.

Before setting off, I visited the Lin family.

Lin Dahai seemed to have figured things out; his spirits had improved considerably. He turned his head away and remained silent when he saw Lin Shuyun.

Lin Shuyun didn't bother arguing with the stubborn old man and went to talk to Madam Li.

"You're going to the county town already? I was just saying I wanted to propose marriage to your older brother. Who do you think would be a good matchmaker?"

Ms. Li rarely went out; she had a very gentle and graceful demeanor, but was also quite delicate.

They lose their backbone when faced with problems.

“Matchmaker Wang, I promised her before. Why don’t you come with me, Mother? Let’s go to the Lu family first, and then I’ll go to the county town.” Lin Shuyun liked Lu Qiaoqiao quite a bit and wanted her to marry into the family as soon as possible and become her sister-in-law.

"Alright, I'll go pack my things and ask your father if he wants to come along. Let's bring Hongwen too, so it shows we value the girl."

After Li finished speaking, she went to pack her things. Apart from the basic things she needed to bring from home, she would go to town to buy the rest.

The whole family was a bit crowded on the donkey cart, but everyone was quite happy.

Lin Hongwen, in particular, chattered incessantly with Lin Shuyun the whole way.

He was going to study at a private school, how could he not be happy? Moreover, the teacher even specifically praised him for what he had learned from his brother-in-law.

Lin Shuyun patted Lin Hongwen on the shoulder, "Study hard, maybe our family can produce a scholar."

"Of course, when I become successful in the future, I'll buy a big house for my sister to live in."

Lin Shuyun accepted the promise this kid was making.

Upon arriving in town, Li and Lin Dahai first went to buy things to hire a matchmaker.

This time, Lin Shuyun didn't rush to pay, but instead took Lin Hongwen and Jiang Changtian to the bookstore.

Jiang Changtian wanted to buy two books, so Lin Shuyun asked Lin Hongwen to pick out two as well.

She tied the donkey cart herself outside.

Then I saw the woman from yesterday across the street.

"A great beauty?"

Lin Shuyun cried out without stopping, and the woman looked at her.
