Tomb raiding: Intercepting Yin Xinyue and building a family of immortals

Sure enough, despite being usually carefree, she intentionally avoided matters of the heart.

Su Chen walked straight to Partridge Whistle and whispered a few words in his ear.

Then, Partridge Whistle nodded and left.

Partridge Whistle did not appear again for the rest of the day.

Hong Guniang got anxious and ran to ask Lao Yangren and Hua Ling, but neither Lao Yangren nor Hua Ling knew where Partridge Whistle had gone.

After much hesitation, the next morning, Hong Guniang hurriedly found Su Chen.

"Chief Su, I'd like to ask where Partridge Whistle has gone?"

The girl in red asked anxiously.

I didn't see Partridge Whistle yesterday, and he didn't come out to practice martial arts this morning either.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Su Chen smiled and said, "I asked him to go out and take care of something."

"What do you need me for?"

"Go down into the tomb!"

“Chief Su, the tomb is so dangerous. Isn’t it a bit too hasty for Partridge Whistle to go down into the tomb alone? Of course, I don’t mean to question you, but I think we should send a few more people.”

Red Girl hurriedly explained.

"It's alright, Partridge Whistle can handle this tomb all by himself."

Su Chen said.

“He shouldn’t go alone. I think we should send a few people to assist him,” Hong Guniang continued stubbornly.

"Red Girl, are you so concerned about Partridge Whistle?"

Su Chen brought the matter up directly.

“Really? Chief Su, you’re overthinking it,” the girl in red retorted stubbornly. “I’m not concerned about him, I just think your approach is a bit inappropriate.”

"I don't care about him at all!"

"What is there about him that I should care about?"

Even at this point, Hong Gu Niang was still stubbornly refusing to admit it.

Su Chen shook his head helplessly, "Then I'll send you to find him? To go into the tomb together?"

"Row!"

The girl in red nodded, but then emphasized, "Let me make this clear first, I'm not going there for him as a person, but to go into the tomb!"

"then you go."

Su Chen waved his hand.

"Where to? That grave?"

"He left a day ago, will I still be able to make it?"

"Please turn your head over there, Mr. Chen, and tell him that I'll be away for a while."

Red Girl asked several questions in one go.

“Let’s go to Changsha City. He should be at the antique shop there,” Su Chen said.

"Antiques business?" The girl in red immediately realized that Su Chen was lying to her. "Team Leader Su, I always thought you were a good person. I never thought you would joke with me like that."

Hong was both angry and annoyed, but mostly embarrassed.

"Ahem... Miss Hong, I'm not making fun of you," Su Chen laughed. "I'm actually here to play matchmaker for Partridge Whistle."

"Partridge Whistle was too embarrassed to speak, and I didn't know your attitude either, so I could only try to probe!"

Now that things have come to this, surely Miss Hong wouldn't refuse, right?

"Is this true?"

Red Girl looked at Su Chen intently.

"Of course, I am the clan leader, how could I joke about something like this?"

Su Chen lies without batting an eye.

Hong Guniang believed it to be true and lowered her head shyly.

At the same time, her heart was pounding.

……

the other side.

Changsha City, antique shop.

There are a lot of things to do lately.

Yesterday, Su Chen whispered in Partridge Whistle's ear, asking him to help out at the antique shop.

So Partridge Whistle immediately came to Changsha City.

There's not much help needed; currently, it mainly involves sending out invitations, booking guesthouses, discussing menus, and setting up the antique shop...

Yin Xinyue also selected several dozen women with good figures and looks from among the refugees, dressed them in fitted cheongsams, and trained them in etiquette so that they could entertain guests at the time.

If the antique shop opens in the future, it will also need some etiquette for serving sweet tea and water to important customers.

None of these things were something Partridge Whistle could do.

Every time he went to see Yin Xinyue, hoping she would arrange something for him to do, Yin Xinyue kept making excuses.

Partridge Whistle couldn't hold back any longer.

He was just an outsider here.

Everyone else is busy, but he's the only one who's really free.

“Mrs. Su, if there’s really nothing else I can help you with, I’ll head back to the village now.”

Partridge Whistle found Yin Xinyue and said hesitantly.

Not only are they unhelpful, they sometimes even get in the way.

Partridge Whistle found it increasingly boring to stay here.

Seeing that Partridge Whistle was getting anxious, Yin Xinyue smiled and said, "Come to the private room with me."

Yin Xinyue led Partridge Whistle to the side room.

Then, she said slowly, "I almost forgot about that."

“I have been entrusted by Miss Hong to act as a matchmaker for her.”

This……

Partridge Whistle subconsciously felt that, given Red Girl's personality, she shouldn't have done it that way.

Before he could speak, Yin Xinyue continued, "Su Chen and I have discussed this matter. You two already have feelings for each other, so it's better to get married sooner rather than later."

"President Chen has been in low spirits lately, so a lively atmosphere might cheer him up."

"Now that you've broken the curse, you have nothing to worry about, right?"

Yin Xinyue adopted the attitude of the matriarch of the household.

"Shouldn't we ask Miss Hong's opinion on this?"

Partridge Whistle didn't think it was a big deal.

Being able to be with Hong Guniang would be an incredible stroke of luck for him.

But what if Hong Guniang doesn't agree?

"Don't worry about that, Su Chen has already made arrangements with Miss Hong," Yin Xinyue said with a smile. "If you agree as well, then we just need to wait for the right day."

"Anyway, what I mean is, the sooner the better."

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle stammered, "Well... alright then!"

"That's right!"

Yin Xinyue said happily, "Marriage is a joyous occasion, and I will definitely help you have a big celebration."

Now that the matter was settled, Yin Xinyue let Partridge Whistle leave.

Anyway, Partridge Whistle has nothing to do here.

……

Partridge Whistle left the antique shop in a daze.

He felt like he'd been set up; how did he end up getting married out of nowhere?

He did indeed have feelings for Hong Guniang.

However, he simply didn't know how to say it.

Now that Chief Su and Madam Su have revealed the truth, it's actually a good thing.

Partridge Whistle is still getting used to it.

Having been alone for so many years, the sudden arrival of a wife feels somewhat unreal.

Back in Sujia Village, Partridge Whistle didn't dare to look for Red Girl. Instead, he hid in his room, afraid of running into her in the courtyard—it would be too embarrassing.

At the same time, the situation was similar for Red Girl.

She also wanted to go out and see Partridge Whistle, but what should she say if she did?

So embarrassing!

I might as well stay in my room and not go out. If I don't know what to say, then let's not meet for now.
