Song Zhili rolled her eyes at He Chengjing and said irritably.

"You have the nerve to ask? I just stepped out and this guy had a long sword to my neck. If this guy wasn't less murderous than the previous one, he might have already slit my throat."

He Chengjing was filled with doubt after hearing this. Logically speaking, there should only be one person chasing him, so how could there be another person? As he spoke, he stepped forward and turned the person on top over.

When he saw his face clearly, he smiled helplessly at Song Zhili.

"Ah Li, I'm really sorry. He's one of my people. He probably came looking for me but didn't see me, and then you suddenly appeared in my house, so he mistook you for a thief."

"Could you take us out with you?"

Song Zhili pulled on his and that person's sleeves, and with a thought, she led them both out of the space. Then, Song Zhili took out the antidote for the sleeping potion and placed it under the person's nose for him to smell.

The man slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw He Chengjing and Song Zhili standing in front of him, his eyes widened in horror.

"Master...Master."

"You two talk, I'll go to the back mountain first."

Seeing that the two of them definitely had something to say, Song Zhili took the initiative to suggest leaving. However, just as she turned to leave, He Chengjing suddenly called her back.

"Ah Li, wait a minute. The back mountain is dangerous. I'll go with you. Qingfeng, we'll talk when I get back."

Qingfeng watched in surprise as He Chengjing and Song Zhili left together.

When did Master become so familiar with that Miss Song? And he even calls her A-Li, but isn't Miss Song called Song Daya? How strange!

And why was Miss Song in the master's room? Wait, wait, no, when he came over just now, he didn't see the master in the room, and Miss Song wasn't there either. So how did the two of them end up in the room?

At this moment, Qingfeng's mind was about to explode; there were too many questions he couldn't understand.

He seemed to hear Miss Song shout something about airplanes. He looked in the direction she was pointing, and soon after, he lost consciousness.

What is an airplane?

He Chengjing and Song Zhili, on the other hand, were naturally unaware of what Qingfeng was thinking.

The two of them went to the depths of the back mountain together, and then Song Zhili brought out the man in black from the space and threw him directly into the ravine.

After doing all this, the two of them went down the mountain together. When they reached the foot of the mountain, Song Zhili told He Chengjing to go back, and she would go home by herself. However, she didn't know what was wrong with He Chengjing again. Instead of going home, he followed her.

"Why don't you go home? What are you doing following me? Don't you have family waiting for you?"

"It's alright, I'll take you home and then come back."

Hearing him say that, Song Zhili didn't say anything more, and the two walked side by side in silence.

Just as she was about to return home, Song Zhili saw Hu Cuicui talking to someone at the door. Upon closer inspection, she saw that the person talking to Hu Cuicui was a woman, and a man was following behind the woman.

As she got closer, Song Zhili saw the woman's appearance clearly; it was Ji Lan!

Why is she here? Could she be looking for Sun Taohua? But if she's looking for Sun Taohua, why doesn't she go to Wu Jianguo's house?

As Song Zhili thought this to herself, she quickened her pace. Just as she approached, Ji Lan turned her head and saw her.

Then she pulled the man behind him forward and introduced him to Song Zhili with a smile: "Hehe, Da Ya is back. This is my son, Sun Jiande."

After Ji Lan finished speaking, Sun Jiande's gaze lingered on Song Zhili, and then he saw He Chengjing standing next to Song Zhili.

She frowned unhappily. "Mother, she is not bad looking, and I don't mind that she has been married before, but look at how shameless she is, getting so close to a man from another family. Mother, if she marries into the family, we must keep a close eye on her."

Upon hearing Sun Jiande's words, Hu Cuicui immediately exploded, grabbing a broom from the side and shouting, "What are you doing here? If you dare to say another bad word about my daughter, I'll smash your mouths!"

As she spoke, Hu Cuicui raised her broom, ready to strike the two of them.

Her actions terrified Ji Lan and Sun Jiande. Sun Taohua, who was inside the house, kept a close eye on the commotion outside. When she saw that Hu Cuicui was about to hit them, she hurriedly ran out of the house and stood in front of them.

"Aunt Hu, please stop hitting them! These are my mother and my brother."

Hu Cuicui had already raised her broom halfway in the air, but upon hearing Sun Taohua's words, she abruptly put the broom down again, and her expression softened slightly.

"Peach Blossom, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but you should tell your brother to speak less in the future. I'll let it slide today because of you, but if I hear him talking about our Daya again, don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Auntie, Daya, I'm sorry, my brother didn't mean it." Sun Taohua bowed to Hu Cuicui and Song Zhili to apologize, then turned to Sun Jiande and said to him in an annoyed tone.

"Brother, what did you say that made Auntie so angry? You'd better come over and apologize right now."

Actually, Sun Jiande's voice was quite loud, and Sun Taohua heard it all in the courtyard. She was just saying it on purpose.

Hearing Sun Taohua's words, Sun Jiande became even more displeased. He was about to rebuke Sun Taohua when Ji Lan stopped him.

"Hehe, Sister Hu, Daya, it was my son's fault. He doesn't know how to speak properly. I apologize to you on his behalf."

Seeing Ji Lan so humbly apologizing to them, Sun Jiande's eyes turned red with anger. He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong. Wasn't what he just said the truth? Why should he apologize?

"Mother, why are you apologizing? Wasn't I telling the truth? Look at her, isn't she just getting so close to this other man?"

Ji Lan glared fiercely at Sun Jiande, who then sheepishly shut his mouth.

"What exactly are you here for? And these things, please take them back; we dare not accept them."

As Hu Cuicui spoke, she pushed back the two chickens, some vegetables, and some grain that they had previously placed at the door.

Seeing her action, Ji Lan immediately became anxious and ran forward to prevent Hu Cuicui from returning the items.

"Sister Hu, these are the betrothal gifts we brought for Daya. Please don't refuse them. Our purpose in coming here is to ask Daya to be my daughter-in-law."

"You know that Da Ya has been married once before. We have come here sincerely to propose marriage, Sister Hu. How much silver do we need to propose to your Da Ya?"

"no!"

"no!"

"no!"
