Su Binglan looked at Lin Zheng and raised her brows. “You know about the art of disguise?”
Lin Zheng thought of his past and felt a little embarrassed. He grinned and explained, “I didn’t enjoy learning boring things like math in the past and liked reading miscellaneous books instead.
“I once robbed a commoner in the past, and he told me some stories before Li Shi, Zhou Shan, and I let him go. The commoner spoke of people who could climb roofs, walk on walls, and change their appearances to blend in.”
A sense of yearning appeared on Lin Zheng’s face as he spoke. Su Binglan noticed his expression and understood something. “Changing one’s appearance is similar to putting on makeup.”
Lin Zheng realized something when he heard that. He said excitedly, “You know how to do that, right, Boss?”
“It’s an insignificant skill in the grand scheme of things.” Makeup was a simple thing for Su Binglan.
Lin Zheng revealed a pitiful expression as he looked at Su Binglan. “You are my boss and my master. You will teach me, right?”
Su Binglan thought there was no problem teaching Lin Zheng these things, but she still wanted to test how Lin Zheng handled certain matters. Only then could she decide whether or not to teach him a new skill.
After all, she would not take in disciples so easily. She said thoughtfully, “That depends on how well you perform when we’re out there.”
After some thought, Lin Zheng said, “I will perform to the best of my abilities and make you proud, Boss!”
The corner of Su Binglan’s mouth twitched when she heard that. She responded, “Pack up and get ready. It’s time for us to set off, but you need to go home and inform your parents about your departure first.”
Lin Zheng said, “I’ve already told them I won’t be back for a while, so they won’t wait around for me.”
Su Binglan had set up a resting place in the shops’ backyard, so Lin Zheng and his two friends could sleep there if they chose not to go home. Lin Zheng often stayed at the shop, and his parents did not ask about it.
Ads by Pubfuture “You should leave them a message, at least,” Su Binglan said.
Lin Zheng responded smilingly, “My parents would have come here if they needed to tell me something. They even told me to work hard for you.”
His parents had secretly gone to the dessert shop and were excited when they saw how well their son was doing. They even rooted for him to work hard for Su Binglan.
Previously, his parents had passed by Binglan’s Desserts and Su’s Tofu during their grand opening and saw Su Binglan saving a little girl. From then on, Lin Zheng’s parents knew Su Binglan was special. @@novelbin@@
Moreover, their son was busy working alongside Su Binglan. Lin Zheng was no longer a hooligan who robbed others and became more sensible. He even brought some delicious food home for his parents from time to time.
That made Lin Zheng’s parents happy as they wished for him to stay alongside Su Binglan forever so they would not have to worry about their son.
After some pondering, Su Binglan said, “Okay, everything should be okay then.”
Shortly after, she left with Lin Zheng. She first went to buy two horses.
Since she decided to go on a long journey, Su Binglan had gone to the bank, taken out a thousand silver taels, and given them to her parents.
When Su Binglan said she was going on a long journey, her parents offered her the thousand silver taels, but she refused to take them.
Still, her parents insisted, and Su Binglan took only two hundred silver taels. However, buying two horses cost a hundred silver taels, and Su Binglan felt distressed.
Despite that, she knew she could always earn more silver and that her second brother’s life was more important than money. Su Binglan wanted to bring Su Wenxiu home safely, no matter what.
Lin Zheng had learned to ride a horse when he was just a child. After all, his family was well off, so it was customary for him to learn how to ride a horse.
His mouth was wide open when he saw his boss’s horse riding skills and how easily she mounted the horse. Lin Zheng widened his eyes in shock.
Ads by Pubfuture ‘S-She grew up in a village, so how does she know how to ride a horse?!’
He was not shocked that Su Binglan knew how to ride a horse, but it was that she was so good at it. Lin Zheng knew how to ride a horse, but it took him a long time to learn.
The person who taught Lin Zheng also showed him what it took to be a great rider, yet Lin Zheng had only learned 50 to 60% of it. Nonetheless, he was stunned when he saw his boss’s riding skills.
Su Binglan rode the horse better than Lin Zheng’s teacher, and Lin Zheng instantly became fascinated with his boss.
Su Binglan rode far away and looked at Lin Zheng leisurely following behind. She turned back and said, “Why are you waiting around? Didn’t you say you know how to ride a horse?”
She took him along because he said he knew how to ride a horse. Lin Zheng collected his thoughts and said, “I-I do.”
Su Binglan said, “Well, hurry up.” She was in a hurry, after all.
“Giddy up.” With that, Lin Zheng tugged the reins and rode his horse forward.
Su Binglan applied pressure to the horse’s belly with her heels and quickly rode off.
…
Meanwhile, Luo Jin’an was playing chess with Mr. Kong at Blue Mountain Academy. Luo Jin’an was discrete, and no one would ever know what he was thinking.
Still, Mr. Kong knew Luo Jin’an was concerned, judging from how Luo Jin’an played. “Are you worried about Miss Su?”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “Well, she is my wife, after all.”
Mr. Kong sighed and said, “Your wife treats you well, so it’s normal for you to worry about her.” He knew Luo Jin’an valued loyalty and friendship, so he continued, “Besides, you’ve already arranged for Luo Ying to protect Miss Su secretly, so she should be fine.
“Still, Luo Ying might blow his cover if he needs to make a move. Some people are still looking for the forces you left behind, Jin’an.”
As soon as Luo Jin’an arrived at the academy in the morning, he called Luo Ying over and told him to protect Su Binglan secretly.
Luo Ying would remain in the shadows while he followed Su Binglan to the capital, so it was highly likely to blow his cover, but Luo Jin’an did not care. Mr. Kong could see how much his master valued Miss Su.
Although his master had a nominal relationship with Miss Su, he still cherished Miss Su very much. However, Mr. Kong knew Miss Su was unique. Even the food she made was delicious.
For her delicacies, Mr. Kong felt it was beneficial to continue teaching at Blue Mountain Academy. That was what Princess Lan had arranged back then anyway.
At that moment, a figure appeared and said, “Master. Miss Su has bought two horses and has set off alongside Lin Zheng. Luo Ying is on their trail to protect them.”
Mr. Kong was stunned. “She knows how to ride a horse?”
Not everyone knew how to do that, and Miss Su was a villager. The village was well-known for its poor conditions, so cows were costly things to own, let alone horses.
Luo Jin’an did not seem surprised and even asked, “How are her riding skills?”
“Miss Su’s riding skills are excellent, even better than the elite cavalrymen from the army.”
Mr. Kong looked incredulous as he thought Miss Su was a true mystery.
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “You must report to me whenever you hear anything from Luo Ying.”
“Yes, sir.”
...
“All right, you may take your leave.”
“Yes, sir!”
…
Mr. Kong could not care less about playing chess anymore. “Is your wife really a country girl? She can’t be a spy, right?”
Luo Jin’an responded straightforwardly, “No.”
Mr. Kong sensed his master’s attitude and said, “You’re right. Even the doctors are amazed by how well you’re doing, considering your poisoning. It’s a miracle how healthy you are. It’s indeed your wife’s work, not a spy’s.”

Ads by Pubfuture 192 Getting Used to Her Existence
At that moment, Luo Jin’an held a chess piece tightly. If one paid close attention, one could see how tightly he clenched his fingers.
Mr. Kong noticed his master’s appearance when he returned to his senses. He knew how worried Luo Jin’an was.
If Luo Jin’an were not affected by the cold poison, Mr. Kong had no doubt his master would ride straight to the capital to protect his wife. However, his master could only rest until he got better.
Luo Jin’an could not use force for the time being as the cold poison had inhibited his true potential.
Now that Su Binglan was around, Luo Jin’an’s health had improved, so Mr. Kong hoped Miss Su would return safely because Luo Jin’an could recover fully.
Su Binglan was a magical person, yet she was a country girl. She could cook good food, practice medicine, and ride a horse. Moreover, she rode a horse better than an expert.
Mr. Kong had never seen the delicacies Su Binglan made and was so picky about his meals that he told people to buy two big bowls of haggis soup for him during his lunch breaks.
He also heard that Su Binglan was so talented in medical skills that she even revived the dead. To be honest, Mr. Kong would be satisfied if Su Binglan were always sincere to Luo Jin’an.
With someone like Su Binglan by Luo Jin’an’s side, Luo Jin’an could recover physically and exact his revenge as long as Su Binglan protected him.
The responsibilities on Luo Jin’an’s shoulders were too heavy to bear alone, and even Mr. Kong was worried about him. Recently, Mr. Kong’s master, Luo Jin’an, had hidden many things in his heart as his thoughts were deep and heavy.
Still, Mr. Kong knew his master was good. Luo Jin’an resembled the mountain snow, like a breeze through bamboo. Unlike before, he often smiled, making others feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.
Now, Luo Jin’an had a grim expression and a cold aura. It would be perfect if Su Binglan could also cure his heart. Mr. Kong sighed emotionally and said, “Master, please have lunch at my place today.”
Ads by Pubfuture Luo Jin’an said lightly, “There’s no need. I will take Xuexuan and Xuehao to the shop for lunch.”
Su Binglan had told him to go to the family’s shop for lunch if he needed something to eat. Her family’s dishes were cleaner and more delicious than those made outside.
Looking at Luo Jin’an, Mr. Kong thought Luo Jin’an wanted to be somewhere Su Binglan frequented because it would remind him of his wife. Mr. Kong could understand how his master felt since he had been in a similar situation.
When Luo Jin’an exited Mr. Kong’s study, someone said to him, “Luo Jin’an, someone is here to deliver lunch to you. It seems to be someone your wife had sent. I sent him to your dormitory because I didn’t know where you were.”
It was Li Bin, Luo Jin’an’s classmate. He was the one who led Su Binglan to Luo Jin’an when she came to deliver lunch once.
Li Bin usually studied with Luo Jin’an on weekdays and was the only one who asked him for advice because he knew Luo Jin’an was knowledgeable.
However, a knowledgeable person like Luo Jin’an should be in the first class, and Li Bin wondered how Luo Jin’an ended up in the third class. Still, that did not stop Li Bin from admiring Luo Jin’an.
Li Bin happened to see someone delivering food and asked the person if he was looking for Luo Jin’an. Then he led the person to Luo Jin’an’s dormitory, not expecting to bump into him at Mr. Kong’s study.
Luo Jin’an said softly, “Thank you.” With that, he quickly walked to his dormitory.
Lin, the attendant, overheard the conversation when he entered Mr. Kong’s study. He looked at Mr. Kong and said, “Miss Su dedicates herself to our master. She had already left yet still arranged for someone to deliver food to him.”
Mr. Kong responded, “Miss Su is a dedicated and excellent person. She delivers lunch to our master every day. Even so, the dishes are always different and smell so good.”
The two were relieved that someone like Su Binglan was there for their master.
Luo Jin’an was quick and soon arrived at his dormitory. At this time, Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were playing around in the dormitory.
Ads by Pubfuture Li Shi put the lunch box on a table when he saw Luo Jin’an. He respectfully greeted Luo Jin’an, “Hello, Young Master Luo.”
He called Luo Jin’an “young master” because he was his boss’s husband. Li Shi wanted to be respectful when he saw Luo Jin’an.
Li Shi, Zhou Shan, and Lin Zheng had met Luo Jin’an during the shops’ grand opening. Li Shi always thought his boss and Young Master Luo possessed a unique aura.
Li Shi could feel Young Master Luo’s potent aura whenever he was in front of him. Li Shi felt restrained and dared not speak recklessly. @@novelbin@@
“Why did my wife tell you to send us lunch?” Luo Jin’an asked.
Li Shi answered honestly, “My boss made lunch in the morning and packed them in these boxes. She said you will be on a lunch break at noon and told me to deliver these to you.”
Luo Jin’an looked at Li Shi and asked, “Did she say anything else?”
After carefully thinking, Li Shi said, “Well, she gave us some instructions about the shop, but nothing else other than that.”
“Okay,” Luo Jin’an replied briefly.
Li Shi looked at Luo Jin’an’s expression and could not guess what he was thinking. He only felt the atmosphere in the dormitory becoming heavier.
“If there’s nothing else, I shall return to the shop now, Young Master Luo.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “Carry on.”
Li Shi felt relieved when he heard that. After exiting the dormitory, he heaved a long sigh.
‘As expected of my boss’s husband. He’s genuinely different from others.’
Li Shi felt uncomfortable, and his legs were weak when he talked to Young Master Luo. It turned out that delivering lunch to Young Master Luo was not as easy as Li Shi thought.
Still, he had to keep an eye on the shop for his boss when he returned.
…
Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai were not as interested in eating as they usually were this time. They only looked toward the door pitifully.
Luo Jin’an softly said to them, “Wash your hands, and let’s eat together.”
The two little ones were obedient toward Luo Jin’an. They got down from their chairs and went to the basin to wash their hands.
Although the little ones studied at the academy, Attendant Lin usually took care of them.
Earlier, Luo Jin’an visited Mr. Kong’s study, so Attendant Lin fetched some water and sent it to Luo Jin’an’s dormitory so it would be convenient for Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai to wash their hands.
After the trio washed their hands, Luo Jin’an poured the water out and fetched more water from the tank. Then he removed the dishes from the boxes and neatly arranged them on the table.
Luo Jin’an looked at the sumptuous dishes and stopped moving abruptly.
Su Xuexuan asked, “Uncle Jin’an, when will Aunt Binglan return?”
Su Xuehai was not his typical lively self. “I miss Aunt Binglan.”
The two were used to their aunt delivering lunch at noon.
Luo Jin’an sighed inwardly, ‘As expected, getting used to something has its downside.’
“Your aunt will be back before you know it. You must eat well, or your aunt will worry, okay?”
...
Su Xuexuan and his little brother nodded and started eating, but Luo Jin’an did not eat much.
Su Xuexuan asked, “Uncle Jin’an, why aren’t you eating?”

Su Xuexuan enjoyed eating his aunt’s cooking. However, he ate his lunch bit by bit because he knew his aunt had left. He did not know when Su Binglan would return, after all.
Then he realized his uncle hardly touched his chopsticks. Luo Jin’an never ate that little in the past.
Luo Jin’an looked at the sumptuous food, sighed, and said, “I’m not hungry, but you two should hurry up and eat.”
A child could never understand an adult’s thoughts, no matter how intelligent they were. Su Xuexuan believed it when Luo Jin’an said he was not hungry, so he and his brother continued eating.
…
Su Binglan and Lin Zheng rode their horses at high speed without stopping. Lin Zheng did not know where his boss was going, so he followed behind Su Binglan.
Su Binglan rode so fast that Lin Zheng had trouble following her. Still, he knew he had to keep up with his boss no matter what. He rode his horse at high speed and focused on his boss’s horse, not daring to be careless.
If he lost focus, he would lose sight of his boss. Moreover, he did not know where he was going.
Although Su Binglan was going at breakneck speeds, she knew how far Lin Zheng was behind her. She controlled her speed so Lin Zheng could keep up with her.
Su Binglan did not plan on resting during her journey. That’s why she had made several prior preparations before leaving.
She carried a straw bag and not a backpack similar to Luo Jin’an’s because she did not want to attract unnecessary attention.
She only packed two symbolic clothes in her straw bag, but many other things in her pocket dimension, including silver. It was safer to keep more important things there, anyway.
Su Binglan also made pound cakes, so a few bites would keep them full for a whole day.
Ads by Pubfuture The duo passed by a small road under a mountain forest at night. Su Binglan slowed her horse down and waited for Lin Zheng to ride over. She said, “You must’ve worked hard to follow me, right?”
Lin Zheng shook his head. “No, I felt refreshed instead. I never thought I could ride so fast.”
He did not need to think about anything besides following his boss. However, doing that also trained his horse to run faster while making Lin Zheng more courageous.
He stopped his horse and rested for a while. Feeling delighted because he never thought he could ride so fast.
Su Binglan noticed it all and said, “Yes, riding a horse is fun, isn’t it?”
Lin Zheng did not feel anything when others praised him, but he was thrilled whenever Su Binglan did. After all, she was his boss and master.
“I will practice more, Boss!”
Su Binglan removed the pound cake from her bag and gave a piece to Lin Zheng. She also removed a water canister and said, “Let’s have a quick snack now and rush to the next town to rest.”
“You must’ve made these, huh? Others can’t buy this, so it must be delicious, right, Boss?” Lin Zheng said.
To him, eating his boss’s food was a blessing. He took a bite and thought it looked thick. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside with a hint of sweetness.
Lin Zheng did not even need to eat the pound cake to know it would be delicious. He took a sip of water and thought it tasted sweet and delicious.
“Boss, did the cake make this water taste sweet? I took a sip and felt all my fatigue disappear.”
If others heard that, they would think Lin Zheng was just trying to flatter his boss, but he was speaking the truth.
Su Binglan knew it because she used a unique method to make the pound cake. She made it with plenty of spiritual spring water, so the water Lin Zheng drank would taste different.
Ads by Pubfuture Moreover, the spiritual spring water could eliminate fatigue while boosting one’s spirit and increasing stamina. Lin Zheng felt different when he ingested it.
The duo quickly ate, and Su Binglan said, “All right. Let’s continue on our journey.”
“Yes, Boss!” Lin Zheng was energetic after eating and drinking. However, he remembered something and asked, “Oh, where are we going?”
“To the capital, of course.” The path Su Binglan took was to the capital.
Lin Zheng opened his mouth in surprise.
‘We’re going to the capital? That’s so far away, and there’s a war going on there.’
Su Binglan noticed Lin Zheng’s expression and said, “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to go to the capital?”
Lin Zheng shook his head. “That’s not it, Boss. I’ll protect you with my kung fu!”
Su Binglan said smilingly, “Don’t worry. I can guarantee our safety no matter how fierce the war is. I’ll bring you back to the town in one piece. I brought you with me to train you.”
Since Lin Zheng sometimes called her “master,” it was only natural that Su Binglan would focus on training him. @@novelbin@@
Su Binglan’s words moved Lin Zheng. “You’re so good to me, Boss!”
Su Binglan waved her hand and said, “All right, but I’ll be strict.”
Lin Zheng scratched the back of his head and smiled. “I should hope so, Master. Pressure creates diamonds, after all.”
Su Binglan smiled lightly, “Okay, stop being so humble. The journey will be arduous.”
“I’m not afraid of hardships, Master.” Previously, Lin Zheng wanted to call Su Binglan “master,” but he feared she would be unhappy. Hence, he would only call her that sometimes.
Su Binglan said, “All right, let’s set off.”
“Yes, Master!” Lin Zheng was full of enthusiasm.
The duo continued to ride their horses and rested at a nearby inn at night. Then they set off again the following morning.
After traveling for two days, they arrived at the prefectural city in the evening. When the duo entered the prefectural city, Lin Zheng could feel how different it was from Tenghe Town.
He looked at the roads on both sides and sighed with emotion. “This is the prefectural city, so it should be more prosperous. It doesn’t look that way to me. Instead, it’s similar to Tenghe town, except the streets are more spacious and some houses are bigger here.”
Su Binglan narrowed her eyes. “Didn’t mention Dingzhou being a barren state?”
Lin Zheng replied, “That’s not the case. Still, my sister got married and moved to the capital.”
Su Binglan asked, “Are you worried about your sister?”
Lin Zheng shook his head. “My sister is fine. We’re in a hurry to get somewhere. We’re not here to visit relatives.”
Su Binglan sighed approvingly because Lin Zheng knew what was important. “You can visit your sister when our journey is over.”
“Thank you, Master.”
“Of course.”
...
Several people were on the streets during the evening. The duo got down from their horses and led them into the prefectural city.
Lin Zheng said, “Boss, I realized that Dingzhou is indeed barren. We passed by many villages and towns. I noticed how difficult everyone’s lives are.”
Su Binglan said, “We don’t know what the situation will be like when there’s a war. It’s good enough that commoners can eat safely.”
“That’s true.”
At that moment, a group of people passed by on the street. They were soldiers escorting a carriage filled with weapons.

Other people were also on the streets, and someone quietly asked, “Who’s on that carriage?”
“That doesn’t look like an ordinary person.”
A passerby was carrying a basket to buy groceries when he heard someone ask, “Are you people from the prefecture capital?”
“Yes, we just returned from somewhere else.”
Someone kindly explained, “That is our King Ding’s carriage. King Ding had arranged to take over Dingzhou, so he visited the local officials.”
An outsider asked, bewildered, “Wait, shouldn’t the officials visit King Ding instead?”
Someone whispered, “Who knows? We don’t know what the higher-ups are thinking. We only know that King Ding isn’t in good health, yet he musters the strength to visit people constantly. It’s backbreaking work, in my opinion.
“Still, the people from our prefecture capital are grateful to King Ding because he works hard for us. King Ding has issued laws we have yet to understand, but he has reduced taxes and helped his people seek justice. We just hope he’s well.
“Moreover, the price of food has risen since the war, but King Ding came to help so people could afford to feed themselves. He’s only eighteen years old too. If only there were a capable enough doctor around to cure King Ding.”
…
Su Binglan and Lin Zheng stood on the sidelines and quietly listened to the passersby’s discussions.
When the soldiers and carriage passed by, the duo heard coughing sounds inside the carriage.
Ads by Pubfuture “Cough, cough. Hack, ahem!”
It was a continuous cough that sounded fragile. For some reason, Su Binglan felt her heart tighten when she heard the incessant coughs. Her chest felt stuffy as if she could not breathe.
She covered her chest with her hand and thought it was bizarre. Su Binglan wondered why her heart ached so much. Was it because the coughs reminded her of Luo Jin’an?
She had been away for more than two days, after all. Perhaps she missed her husband. Still, Su Binglan did not overthink.
…
At this moment, the person in the carriage coughed even more violently. His trusted subordinate was also in the carriage. He looked at King Ding’s appearance and was concerned.
“Your Highness, are you okay? The doctor said he managed to stabilize your condition. Why are you coughing like this all of a sudden?” The subordinate’s face turned ashen, and he was highly anxious.
King Ding placed his hand on his chest. “I don’t know why, but my heart is hurting terribly. Her heart might have felt the same way when she died. It hurts so badly, and I don’t know what triggered it.”
The subordinate said, “If only the princess were here. She wouldn’t let others treat our prince like that.”
King Ding’s voice was hoarse as he said, “She has protected me for a long time and had grown tired.”
“Your Highness, you must live on for our princess. We will find a capable doctor soon, and they will cure you.”
King Ding waved his hand and coughed. “The princess said I have a chance of surviving here, but I don’t know what that chance is.”
“We will know eventually, Your Highness.”
King Ding closed his eyes tiredly. When he opened them again, for some reason, he felt the need to lift the curtain to look outside.
Ads by Pubfuture Then he saw a person on the street, and his heart jumped. He looked closer and found she was just a young lady. King Ding’s expression dimmed, and he fell into deep thought.
‘She’s already dead, and there’s no longer a trace of her in this world. Why am I still hoping she’s alive? She doesn’t have to worry now that she’s gone. I’m only alive because I promised her I would live on, and I can’t let her efforts go to waste.’ @@novelbin@@
King Ding’s cough was severe, so his subordinate hurriedly said, “Quick, we must return to the mansion immediately!”
…
When the carriage disappeared from his sigh, Lin Zheng returned to his senses. He looked at Su Binglan and said discreetly, “It wasn’t easy for King Ding to live this long.
“I heard his mother had issues with her womb when he was conceived, and King Ding’s body was frail. He even fell into a river when he was a child. That time, the princess was the one who saved him.
“After that, the princess fell ill. Even so, she protected King Ding. However, the princess died three years ago, and the higher-ups began to attack King Ding’s mansion. Still, the king has many capable people around him.
“These people are loyal to King Ding and the princess and have been by the king’s side since the princess died. Ordinary people will not dare attack King Ding because of these people’s protection.”
…
Su Binglan looked at Lin Zheng. “You’re quite knowledgeable, aren’t you?”
“I-It’s just gossip I heard from others,” Lin Zheng stammered.
Su Binglan felt they had gotten distracted for too long, so she said, “All right, let’s get moving.”
“Aren’t we going to rest here for the night?” Lin Zheng asked.
Su Binglan calculated the distance and time. She said, “It’s best if we hurry up. We can take our time when we’re on the way back to Tenghe Town.”
“Okay, Boss.”
Then the duo continued on their journey. After leaving the prefectural city, the duo finally witnessed what a real war looked like. When they passed a village along the way, they discovered that all the villagers were dead.
The villagers’ corpses were lying all over the place in a mess. Even fresh blood flowed from a few of them. Lin Zheng vomited when he saw the scene and smelled the blood.
“Retch!”
He could not stand to see such a scene. He choked and said sobbingly, “Some of them are just children. Those b*stards won’t even spare children?”
Lin Zheng used to be a gangster, but he was a small fry that never hurt anyone. At most, he wanted to scare others. It was his first time seeing so much blood and so many corpses.
Su Binglan got off her horse and walked. She observed her surroundings and realized all the food was gone, and even the fields were empty.
She said, “Someone must’ve killed the villagers for food. This village is close to the top of the mountain and far from the town, so no one will notice it if someone killed these people.”
Lin Zheng collected his thoughts and said, “Was all this caused by mountain bandits? I heard mountain bandits would burn, kill, and plunder in some places.”
Su Binglan said coldly, “Maybe some people disguised themselves as mountain bandits to plunder the villagers’ food. However, plundering alone doesn’t necessarily mean killing people to silence them.
“They would only kill the villagers to silence them for fear of the people reporting them to the authorities.”
Lin Zheng understood what his boss meant. “Those people are horrible!” He was outraged.
Su Binglan remained cold as she said, “Some people will do anything to achieve their goals. It’s normal. Human lives are like a blade of grass in a chaotic war world. Still, no war is good, and people just want to live their lives.”
Lin Zheng’s heart panicked as he angrily punched the tree beside him. He bruised his hand, but he did not feel any pain. “I don’t want wars to happen too.”
...
Su Binglan said, “That’s easier said than done.”
Lin Zheng asked frowningly, “Master, how influential are generals? Generals can protect their family and country while helping others, right?”
Su Binglan looked at Lin Zheng’s expression and knew he had seen many things along their journey. It was as if he had grown up suddenly.

Su Binglan realized that Lin Zheng was a hot-blooded person. She said softly, “It’s good that you’re asking about these things, but you don’t have to be a general to do great things. Even ordinary people can make a change.”
Lin Zheng’s eyes were bloodshot as he looked at his boss. “Is that true? Will you teach me how?”
Su Binglan replied, “You can do many things if you’re capable. Come on. I’ll bring you somewhere so we can avenge these people.”
Lin Zheng was stunned and did not regain his senses for quite a while. “Master, is the avenging you’re talking about the same thing I understand?”
!!
Su Binglan nodded, “Yes, it’s the literal meaning you understand. Someone killed these innocent people, and we won’t stand for it. We must do something about this.”
She was not one to meddle in other people’s business, but she felt depressed when she saw the state of the village and its villagers. She felt stifled and needed to vent.
If no one stood up and did something about these incidents, the culprits would always think they could get away with such heinous crimes. Perhaps these culprits would target the next village, so Su Binglan wanted to do something about it.
Lin Zheng was very excited when he heard his boss’s words, but after a while, he collected his thoughts and felt something was off. “M-Master, do you know who did this?”
Of course, Su Binglan knew. She could use the compass to figure out who invaded and terrorized the village. She said, “I have a hunch. Let’s take a detour and ask around.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Binglan’s ability to guess amazed Lin Zheng, but he also knew his master was not an ordinary person. If his master said so, then so be it. Lin Zheng would never doubt his master’s words, after all.
Immediately after, Su Binglan led Lin Zheng to a mansion.
“Isn’t this Zou Mansion?” Lin Zheng asked.
Su Binglan responded, “Yes, King Jian might be here. Lord Zou is King Jian’s official. Lord Zou was once a bandit, but he later joined King Jian and became a high-ranking official. Now, King Jian and King Jin are fighting because of the occupation of the fiefdom.
“Fighting in a war requires many things, and food is one of the most vital. King Jian’s grain production is more on the low side, so Lord Zou probably arranged for his subordinates to invade the village to please his king.”
Lin Zheng was shocked when he heard that. “H-How do you know so much, Boss?” He would have suspected Su Binglan had lived here if he was not with his boss the entire time.
Su Binglan pointed at her head and said, “You must learn to think beyond what’s in front of you. We heard many things on the way here; some were more helpful information than the rest.”
The duo had rested at inns or places with many people, and Su Binglan sometimes got off her horse to walk around every town to listen to others gossiping.
Still, some information was more helpful than others. The duo had passed by some towns on the way to Zou Mansion, and Su Binglan would hear people discussing.
Moreover, she could hear more whenever she focused. She remembered every piece of information she had heard. @@novelbin@@
Lin Zheng was shocked when he heard Su Binglan’s explanation. He admired his boss even more. Lin Zheng thought no one could compare to his boss’s ability. He knew he had to listen, think, and see more in the future.
When Su Binglan finished explaining, she said, “Let’s go in.”
Ads by Pubfuture She removed a rope from her straw bag as she spoke. Then she threw it upward, and the hook at the rope’s end latched onto something. Su Binglan tugged the rope to ensure it was secure and quickly climbed it.
From Lin Zheng’s point of view, Su Binglan climbed the rope effortlessly as if she was merely walking on a flat surface. He simply followed suit.
When the duo reached the top, Su Binglan put away the rope. The duo did not need to climb like that, but she wanted to treat it as training. She would think of ways to teach Lin Zheng things whenever possible.
There were soldiers and guards scattered around Zou Mansion. Most knew Lord Zou as Zou Kongtie. He was King Jian’s high-ranking official because he had done many despicable things to please his king.
Although Zou Kongtie did horrible things, he solved several of King Jian’s problems many times. That was why he was such a high-ranking official.
Even if Zou Mansion had patrols, these people were nothing to Su Binglan as she had effortlessly infiltrated the mansion with Lin Zheng.
Lin Zheng followed his boss, feeling increasingly amazed. He thought his master could do anything. Still, he felt excited yet nervous.
Lin Zheng was sweating all over, but he looked at his master and saw how calm and collected she was.
Su Binglan entered Zou Kongtie’s room, her footsteps were light, and the person inside was utterly unaware of her presence.
Lin Zheng dared not breathe loudly, afraid he might accidentally alarm the person.
After entering the room, Su Binglan knocked the person unconscious and whispered to Lin Zheng, “Drag him away.”
Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You Check Out Our Recommendations Curated Just for You DiscoveryFeed Ads by Pubfuture “Huh? You want me to drag him away?”
Su Binglan said, “Yes, drag him out of here.”
Lin Zheng carefully asked, “But won’t someone discover us if I do that?”
Su Binglan waved her hand. “The others aren’t a threat. They won’t discover us.”
Lin Zheng realized how easily he could drag the unconscious person out. Su Binglan led Lin Zheng to a quiet place and told Lin Zheng to wake the person up by splashing cold water on his face.
“A-Ah!” Zou Kongtie woke up in a daze. He saw the two masked people in front of him and shivered. “W-Who are you?” He said in a muffled voice.
Su Binglan said in a disguised voice, “Look around you.”
Zou Kongtie’s eyes darted around and found he was in the wilderness. “M-Mmm!” He was so scared that he tried to scream for help.
However, Su Binglan had told Lin Zheng to stuff Zou Kongtie’s mouth with a sock, so he could not make a sound.
Su Binglan told Lin Zheng to tie Zou Kongtie’s hands together, then to the horses. Then the duo sat on their horses to ride away with Zou Kongtie in tow.
Su Binglan said to Lin Zheng, “Consider this your training.”
The duo towed Zou Kongtie along the way with their horses. He was scared and exhausted from walking, wanting to cry. Moreover, the socks in his mouth were stinky as it had been several days since anyone had washed them.
No one had ever tortured Zou Kongtie like that, even when he was a bandit. He wanted to cry, but he could not make a sound. He could only allow the duo to tow him away.
Zou Kongtie could not make a sound and helplessly followed the horses. The horses would drag him along the ground if he did not walk quickly.
He did not know what the duo wanted with him, and they were in the wilderness. It was not until they reached the village that Su Binglan told Lin Zheng to untie Zou Kongtie from the horses.
Zou Kongtie only had a few breaths left at that moment. He felt like he was going to die. However, when he saw the bloody corpses before him, he started to tremble in fear. He was so scared that he jumped.
Su Binglan pulled the rope around Zou Kongtie’s hands hard, and he fell to the ground. “Tell me how you told your people to kill these villagers.”

Su Binglan removed the stinky socks from Zou Kongtie’s mouth so he could speak. He said sobbingly, “I-I don’t know. I don’t know what happened.”
Su Binglan made it clear she was impatient. She said to Lin Zheng, “Slap him.”
She did not want to waste her breath with this person. Su Binglan would not have gone through so much trouble if she was unsure it was Zou Kongtie who was involved in what had happened in the village.
Lin Zheng was in utter awe of his master. He never thought he could vent his anger like this. Lin Zheng towed Zou Kongtie along the way as he sat on his horse and looked at Zou Kongtie’s pitiful appearance. His heart was full of joy.
Lin Zheng thought his master was right. Killing Zou Kongtie would be too easy, and it would be better to deal with him properly. Lin Zheng wanted to show how valuable he was as he was the best at this.
“I’m the best at slapping people around,” Lin Zheng said with a menacing smile.
Su Binglan said, “Don’t go overboard. We need him to talk.”
“Yes, Master.” Lin Zheng rolled up his sleeves and fiercely slapped Zou Kongtie a few times.
Pow! Smack, slap!
The slaps caused Zou Kongtie to lose a few teeth. Lin Zheng noticed how strong he was and was stunned. “I never knew I was this strong.”
Su Binglan said, “I didn’t tell you to soak in the herbs for nothing, did I?”
Lin Zheng became excited because his strength had increased and his kung fu had improved. No wonder the people at Zou Mansion were so weak compared to him. @@novelbin@@
“Are you going to tell us what you know or not?! Answer the question!”
Ads by Pubfuture Zou Kongtie said sobbingly, “If you’re capable enough, kill me.”
Su Binglan sneered. “You’re not afraid to die, huh?”
Zou Kongtie’s hair stood on end when he looked at the person before him. He could not help but feel fearful, and before he knew it, he felt sharp pains all over his body.
Su Binglan was sticking her needles around his body. She brought a set of acupuncture needles and a few needles she could use as weapons. Of course, she knew where to stick them.
Finally, Zou Kongtie could not bear the pain any longer. Tears and snot flowed from his face as he began to explain, “I-I arranged for my people to kill these villagers because it was a remote area, and they had food stored up.
“King Jian needed food for his soldiers, so I had people disguise themselves as bandits to rob the villagers of their food, but I was worried the villagers would report me, so I told my people to kill them.
“Also, this village is far from everyone else, so I thought no one would know what we did. B-But we had yet to dispose of the bodies. T-There, I’ve told you everything you’ve asked. P-Please don’t kill me!”
Su Binglan said coldly, “Don’t worry. I won’t kill you if you do what I say. Come here and write what you’ve done with your blood on this wooden board. Write that you’ve told your people to disguise themselves as bandits to rob the villagers of their food and that you told them to kill the villagers.”
Zou Kongtie looked at the young person before him and thought of how terrified of death he was. “Y-You won’t kill me if I write that on the wooden board?”
Su Binglan lazily said, “I don’t want to dirty my hands, so I won’t kill you.”
Lin Zheng clenched his fist and said, “I’ll kill you if you don’t do as she says.”
Zou Kongtie was so scared that his hands began to tremble. He hurriedly obeyed the duo’s orders and prepared to write his message in his blood. However, he looked at his hands and could not bear to do it.
Lin Zheng was anxious as he looked at Zou Kongtie. He took out a knife and slit one of Zou Kongtie’s palms. A lot of blood flowed from Zou Kongtie’s palm as his heart pounded, but he dared not think about anything else at that moment.
When Zou Kongtie finished writing his message, Su Binglan told Lin Zheng to beat him again. Then she put away the wooden board and dragged Zou Kongtie to the middle of the street. She quickly made some arrangements and left alongside Lin Zheng.
…
Ads by Pubfuture The following morning, the commoners walked by and saw their hated Lord Zou in the middle of the street with a big wooden sign hanging from his neck.
Zou Kongtie had written the heinous crimes he committed on the wooden board, and some of the commoners who could read turned pale when they saw the contents on the board.
“He and his men killed every villager in Shixia Village?!”
“A-Am I hallucinating? They killed so many people just to steal their food?!”
“These are King Jian’s men, and they killed commoners?”
“They even disguised themselves as bandits.”
“That’s horrible. I-I have a distant relative that lives in Shixia Village.”
…
The commoners were shocked by what Zou Kongtie and his men had done. They even suspected King Jian of arranging these heinous crimes.
Another wooden board was hanging around Zou Kongtie’s neck. There were a few big words on it, reading, “This is what happens to those who disregard human life.”
The scene became chaotic as some ran away in fear while others discussed angrily. Someone hidden in the shadows even shot an arrow at Zou Kongtie and killed him.
More and more people found out about that matter in the morning. The commoners were outraged and marched toward Zou Mansion to confront King Jian.
However, when the commoners arrived, they found that the door to Zou Mansion was wide open, and everyone inside was unconscious.
That was because Su Binglan had drugged the people in the mansion last night. She had prepared the drugs before leaving Zou Mansion. Therefore, one could imagine how chaotic the scene at Zou Mansion was.
As for King Jian, he found out what had happened and thrashed about in his mansion, smashing everything to the ground.
“You’re all trash! Who did this?!” King Jian was furious.
However, this matter had a significant impact as King Jian had no choice but to restrain his subordinates. King Jian could not allow his men to do such things again because he knew he would no longer be king if he lost the people’s trust.
…
Su Binglan and Lin Zheng watched the commotion and left to continue their journey.
Lin Zheng looked at Su Binglan and said, “Master, are we just going to let King Jian be?”
“Do you want to kill King Jian?” Su Binglan could guess what Lin Zheng thought.
Lin Zheng said, “He’s a terrible person too.”
Su Binglan said plainly, “If you kill him, someone similar might take his place, but what we did will scare him. Others will also learn that there are consequences to their actions. For now, the locals are safe. We can only rock the boat, not sink it.”
…
Luo Ying had been in the shadows all along and had witnessed everything. Of course, Su Binglan’s actions always shocked him. His jaw almost hit the ground as he watched her.
He looked at the young lady and thought, ‘Is she really my master’s wife? Is she really from the countryside? It’s great that my master has someone like her by his side.’
...
Luo Ying discretely and quickly sent word back to his master.
…
Luo Jin’an ate less ever since Su Binglan left Su Teng Village. Mr. Kong knew his master was worried about Su Binglan, even though Luo Jin’an did not say anything.
When Luo Ying’s message arrived, Luo Jin’an immediately opened it and read its contents. He could not help but laugh at what he saw.
Mr. Kong was in disbelief when he saw his master smiling. His master had never laughed like that before.
“M-Master? What happened?”
Luo Jin’an passed the information to Mr. Kong and said, “Take a look for yourself.”

Mr. Kong was curious as he had never seen that expression on his master’s face before. Luo Jin’an’s smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and his aura carried a gentleness.
Mr. Kong wondered how long it had been since he saw his master smiling. Therefore, Mr. Kong was curious about the information his master had read.
He took the paper from Luo Jin’an and revealed a surprised expression as he read its contents. Mr. Kong laughed out loud when he finished reading the information.
“Miss Su is truly an extraordinary person to be able to think of such a punishment. I never expected that. I feel thrilled just by reading about what she had done.” Mr. Kong smiled and praised Su Binglan endlessly.
He could vividly imagine what Su Binglan had done. Mr. Kong was excited as he held the information in his hand. “No wonder you laughed just now, Master.”
Mr. Kong felt relieved when he looked at Luo Jin’an. He could rest assured knowing a brilliant and capable young lady was by his master’s side.
However, he did not know what Luo Jin’an and Su Binglan were thinking. Mr. Kong only wanted Su Binglan and his master to be together forever. He enjoyed the way Su Binglan did things.
Luo Jin’an was absent-minded, so he asked, “Did I just laugh?”
It had been long since Luo Jin’an laughed, so he forgot how it felt. Still, Luo Jin’an had to admit that he felt relaxed whenever he was with Su Binglan. He enjoyed living a peaceful life and wanted to forget the past.
However, he would think of the burden on his responsibilities and become indifferent again.
Mr. Kong nodded and said, “Of course, you laughed. Only Miss Su can make you smile like that. It’s just that you’ve never realized it.”
Luo Jin’an said leisurely, “Maybe.”
Mr. Kong said excitedly, “To be honest, I think Miss Su is very straightforward. I’m satisfied with what she did. Zou Kongtie was a bandit and committed various crimes, including burning, killing, and plundering.
Ads by Pubfuture “Many wanted to take revenge upon him, but he later joined King Jian, so the king protected Zou Kongtie. Then no one dared to touch Zou Kongtie, even though he had done many evil deeds and harmed many people.”
Luo Jin’an said lightly, “This time, Zou Kongtie killed everyone in Shixia Village. It’s a remote village, and no one would have known about his crimes.”
Mr. Kong slammed the table and said, “I’m infuriated! Those were innocent people, and King Jian allowed Zou Kongtie to do that!”
Luo Jin’an’s expression turned cold when he thought about King Jian. “He’s the crown prince’s brother. King Jian’s brother gave him the fief because it’s rich with iron ore, which they can use to forge weapons and tools of war.”
Mr. Kong said, “Exactly. It’s fertile land but low in grain yield. Still, I didn’t expect them to kill innocent people.”
Luo Jin’an seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned colder. “Those people will do anything to achieve their goals.”
Mr. Kong said, “If it weren’t for Miss Su, no one would know about what Zou Kongtie did. Moreover, Miss Su’s method was incredible because she took King Jian’s right-hand man and taught him a lesson he won’t soon forget.
“Now, King Jian will not dare to let his subordinates be so reckless again. Miss Su killed Zou Kongtie and avenged Shixia Village’s people.” @@novelbin@@
However, Mr. Kong was puzzled. “Although, it is bizarre. There are many guards in Zou Mansion and where King Jian is. Yet, Miss Su was able to kidnap Zou Kongtie so easily. I’m very impressed.
“Also, she brought Lin Zheng with her. That kid must be very competent. How is he so strong? I wonder how Miss Su trained Lin Zheng to be so capable. If so, Miss Su must be mighty.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed. He said smilingly, “She has her ways.”
Mr. Kong sighed. “Fortunately, she is your wife, Master.” As if he had thought of something, he continued, “I wonder how King Ding is doing. If he’s in good health, he wouldn’t have to worry about those people now.”
Luo Jin’an and Mr. Kong chatted for a long while. Then Luo Jin’an arranged some things for his subordinates and took the opportunity to go to the shop in the afternoon.
Su Binglan was not there, so Luo Jin’an helped her take care of the shop, even though his wife did not tell him to.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were always busy during the afternoon, while Li Shi and Zhou Shan would take turns helping them. One would look after the dessert shop while the other helped Liu Yinyin and her husband.
Many customers were at the shop at that time.
“Sir, give us some sesame buns and tofu pudding.”
“Okay, please wait a moment. They will be ready soon.”
“Ma’am, can we get a bowl of haggis soup, please? Also, please give me another pancake.”
“Um, can we have more chilies, sir?”
…
One could feel the liveliness in the shops. It was initially a remote area nearby Tenghe Town, but it became a bustling place when Su Binglan opened the shops.
People filled the once deserted streets with chatter. There was also a barbecue stall in a space not far from the tofu shop that Su Fengzhi’s family had set up.
Su Fengzhi taught his family how to make lamb kebabs after learning it from Su Binglan. However, they used firewood to make them at home because it was inconvenient to bring firewood to town.
Su Fengzhi and his family made charcoal at him according to the method Su Binglan taught them. The charcoal was challenging to make, so the family studied it for a few days and wasted plenty of firewood.
After many trials and errors, the family finally succeeded in making charcoal. As for the stalls, tables, chairs, and barbecue tools, Su Fengzhi asked Su Zhengde, his eldest brother, to help him build them.
However, when Su Fengzhi went to his eldest brother’s house to ask for that favor, he saw Su Zhengde excitedly learning how to make bricks and did not have time to make those things for him.
After asking, Su Fengzhi discovered that Su Binglan was the one who taught Su Zhengde about bricks. He became emotional when he thought of his niece being the family’s lucky star. Everyone was worried about Su Binglan when she left.
Nonetheless, Su Zhengde’s three sons made the things Su Fengzhi needed for his stall. Then Su Fengzhi hurriedly set up his stall.
When Su Fengzhi barbecued the lamb skewers, the fragrance drifted far away.
“What’s that fragrant smell? It smells good.”
“Is that the smell of meat?”

Many townsfolk could smell the fragrance of food from the west end of town. Even if they were just passing by, they would still go there to look around.
The fragrance was different from haggis soup and sesame buns. Everyone walked to the tofu shop and asked Su Wenzhe, “Sir, what delicious food did you make this time?”
Someone eating haggis soup at the shop also asked, “You must show us that new dish you made.” @@novelbin@@
Su Wenzhe explained smilingly, “That fragrance is coming from my third uncle’s stall. He and his family make delicious barbecued lamb skewers. If you guys have the time, why not try them? His family is the only ones making lamb skewers, after all.”
Su Wenzhe helped promote Su Fengzhi’s stall, and the customers became curious, “Now that you’ve mentioned it, we must take a look.”
Su’s Tofu and Binglan’s Desserts were near the westernmost end of town. Further west was a large plot of empty land with no houses, just before Su Teng Village.
Su Fengzhi had built a shed and set up his stall to sell barbecued lamb skewers on that empty plot of land. Previously, no one could set up stalls there, as the officials had plans for that area.
However, the officials did not mind it since it was a member of the Su family. They also paid attention to it for fear others would cause trouble for the family. That was all thanks to Su Binglan.
She had only left town for two days. Old Madam Feng and her grandson wanted to personally thank Su Binglan for what she had done, so they went to Hundred Herbs Hospital and asked Doctor Wu if the young lady was around.
Only then did Old Madam Feng know who Su Binglan was. She also learned from Doctor Wu that Su Binglan was not in town at the moment and that Su Binglan wanted her to protect the Su family.
When Old Madam Feng returned home, she told her son, the county magistrate, about Su Binglan’s request.
The county magistrate issued an order and told the county bailiff and the patrol team to take care of the Su family on the west side of town. Therefore the Su family would not have issues doing business, and people would protect them.
Everyone curiously asked Su Wenzhe, “Where is this stall you speak of, sir?”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe patiently explained, “Follow this road toward the west, and my third uncle’s barbecue stall will be in the open space.”
He initially wanted Su Fengzhi to set up his stall next to the tofu shop entrance, but Su Fengzhi was afraid he would interfere with his nephew’s business.
He felt it was inappropriate to set up his stall there, so he insisted on settling on the open space in the west. Still, Su Wenzhe was quite concerned.
However, Su Fengzhi was confident in his lamb skewers and said to Su Wenzhe, “Your sister taught us about the lamb skewers, so the business will undoubtedly become popular.”
Everyone in the Su family knew Su Binglan’s ideas would always work. Therefore, Su Wenzhe failed to persuade his third uncle.
At first, Su Fengzhi and his family were worried about setting up a stall on the west side of town because it was a remote area. Everyone was used to buying things in the east, and all the famous stalls were there.
After Su Fengzhi opened his stall, Su Wenzhe understood business would boom if the food were delicious. Even if it were far away, everyone would go there to buy the lamb skewers.
Moreover, Su Wenzhe had eaten the lamb skewers before and knew they were delicious, so his doubt disappeared instantly.
Many passersby also walked toward the west to see what a barbecue stall was. They wanted to know what kind of delicious food would be there because they could smell the fragrance from afar.
Su Wenzhe and Liu Yinyin were busy when they saw Luo Jin’an nearby. They could not help but feel amazed. Barring Luo Jin’an’s scar, his temperament and appearance would make one feel calm.
No wonder Su Binglan’s predecessor insisted on purchasing Luo Jin’an from the slave farm. Although it was expensive, it was all worth it mainly because the Su family had a stable income now.
Liu Yinyin looked at Luo Jin’an and asked happily, “What brings you here, Brother-in-law?”
Luo Jin’an replied, “I came to see if you guys needed help.”
Su Wenzhe hurriedly said, “You don’t need to do anything, Brother-in-law. I’ve already promised Binglan I will treat you well, so I can’t allow you to tire yourself.”
The couple dared not let Luo Jin’an help them because they feared Su Binglan would get angry if she found out. They spoke to their brother-in-law patiently and softly.
Ads by Pubfuture Su Wenzhe looked at Luo Jin’an and thought his sister was right. Luo Jin’an’s temperament resembled that of an immortal. In Su Binglan’s words, Luo Jin’an was elegant and otherworldly.
Therefore, menial jobs were not suitable for Luo Jin’an. The couple felt something was off when they thought of how their brother-in-law used to work in the fields. Indeed, the couple knew it was more befitting of Luo Jin’an to study at the academy.
Luo Jin’an thought of his wife’s words, and his expression softened. He said, “It’s okay. I won’t tire myself out. Just don’t tell her.”
Still, Su Wenzhe insisted, “That won’t do because everyone else is watching. You’re precious to my sister, and I’ve promised her I wouldn’t let you work. My parents also reminded me several times to take good care of you.”
After some thought, Luo Jin’an said, “Then I’ll go to the backyard and help with the fire.”
Su Wenzhe persisted, “My sister cleaned and prepared the clothes you’re wearing, so I can’t let you dirty them.”
Luo Jin’an helplessly rubbed his temples. ‘Forget it. I’ll go and check on the dessert shop instead.’
Li Shi was watching the dessert shop at that moment. Su Binglan had made plenty of desserts before leaving town, so the shop would have enough to sell for a long time. Everything was going well at the dessert shop.
Li Shi saw Luo Jin’an approaching and respectfully greeted him. He let Luo Jin’an be in charge of the front desk while he helped greet the customers at the door. Everything was going according to plan.
…
Su Fengzhi and his family had set up a stall in an open area. Previously, the open area was full of weeds, so Su Fenzhi and his family cleaned it up to sell their lamb skewers there. They also organized their stall neatly.
Su Fengzhi and his son made lamb skewers while Madam Liu helped greet the customers. When Su Wenlin brought his wife and son back from his father-in-law’s house, he discovered that his father had recovered.
Then he and his family excitedly went to help Su Fengzhi. The whole family prepared in advance since Su Wenlin and his family did not learn how to make lamb skewers.
They all barbecued skewers and talked at the same time.
Su Wenlin realized how energetic his father was and asked, “Father, I’m glad to see you like this.”
Su Fengzhi busied himself as he said, “It’s all thanks to your cousin. I took the medicine she gave me, and my nose completely recovered. My throat is almost better too.”
Su Wenlin sighed and said, “I must properly thank Binglan for all this. It’s just that she’s not around now.”
In the past, the atmosphere in Su Fengzhi’s home was gloomy because of his conditions. However, there was more laughter among his family now.

Madam Liu said, “Our family will remember Binglan’s kindness. Also, Xuerui will become more lively if we bring him with us more often.”
She looked at her grandson, and her heart ached. Su Xuerui was only two years old, yet he was too obedient.
He did not eat delicious foods like lamb skewers in the past, but now, the family could make better food for Su Xuerui.
The family had prepared many lamb skewers, but there have yet to be any customers in sight. Madam Liu took some pastries and broke them into small pieces for her grandson to eat.
!!
Su Binglan had given them those pastries. Previously, she had given them to her third uncle and his family when she went to teach Su Fengzhi how to make lamb skewers.
Su Binglan made the pastries more suitable for children to eat. They were nutritious and could also improve a child’s appetite.
Su Xuerui did not usually eat much, but he enjoyed eating the pastries Su Binglan made when he took a bite. Madam Liu was thrilled when she saw her grandson eating more.
Su Wenchi said, “Big Brother, you have no idea how good Binglan was to us. She taught our father how to make spicy and non-spicy seasonings too.”
Su Wenlin said smilingly, “Are you intentionally making fun of me, Wenchi? I just happened to be away at that time.”
Su Wenchi smirked. “Hmph, it’s your fault for being away for so long.”
Everyone chatted and laughed, and soon, customers started coming. The customers looked at the lamb skewers in Su Fengzhi’s hands and thought they looked very novel. Still, they could all smell how fragrant the barbecued lamb skewers were.
“Sir, are you barbecuing meat?”
“Yes, I’m making lamb skewers. I made them from the sheep I keep myself, so these are as fresh as they come. Are you guys interested in trying some?” Su Fengzhi warmly welcomed the customers.
A few more people came by at that moment. They gathered around to look at what Su Fengzhi was making and thought his cooking method was unique. They had never seen anything like lamb skewers before. @@novelbin@@
Ads by Pubfuture The customers looked closer and discovered that Su Fengzhi used charcoal to barbecue the lamb skewers.
“Sir, are you using charcoal? Isn’t that costly?”
The commoners could not afford charcoal, yet Su Fengzhi and his family used it to barbecue the lamb skewers. Everyone felt their heads ache when they looked at the charcoal. They thought it was a waste.
The weather was getting colder, and the wealthier families would burn charcoal to keep themselves warm. Many looked at the unique lamb skewers and felt pain in their hearts when they saw all the burnt charcoal.
The people of that era were frugal, so they felt uncomfortable seeing others wasting precious supplies like charcoal.
Su Fengzhi chuckled. “We made this charcoal ourselves, so it didn’t cost much. We’re also selling these lamb skewers for one coin each and those for two coins each.”
Anyone could afford those prices, and the customers were always willing to try something new. Moreover, the lamb skewers were fragrant. Since the customers were already there, they might as well try it.
“I’ll have a small lamb skewer, sir.”
“Give me ten lamb skewers, please.”
“I’ll try one too. I’ll buy more if I like these.”
…
Everyone was talking at once, and Su Fengzhi said happily, “The lamb skewers will be ready soon.”
Madam Liu and her daughter-in-law, Lin Tongtong, said in unison, “Someone, take care of Xuerui. I’ll go and help.”
Lin Tongtong said, “Mother-in-law, Xuerui is well-behaved and will sit here quietly. He’ll be okay, so I’ll help too.”
She knew her mother-in-law was a good person. Not only did Madam Liu help take care of Su Xuerui, but she would not allow Lin Tongtong to do any work.
However, Lin Tongtong felt guilty. She was diligent because her parents taught her to work hard and live a good life. Therefore, she could not bear to stay idle while the others worked.
Ads by Pubfuture Lin Tongtong looked at the busy family, looked at her son, and started to feel anxious.
Madam Liu said, “Since four of us can work, you should watch Xuerui. He is more important than anything else. Also, we’re in an unfamiliar environment, so you can rest assured if you took care of Xuerui.”
Initially, the family had suggested that Madam Lin stay home to look after Su Xuerui, but she thought she might be able to help if she followed along.
Madam Liu was delighted with her daughter-in-law because she was diligent, respectful, and discerning. She told Lin Tongtong to keep an eye on Su Xuerui and went to help the others.
The four divided and conquered as they sold their lamb kebabs. One would handle the money, while others would host the customers or barbecue the lamb skewers.
“Sir, do you want the spicy or non-spicy seasoning?”
If it were the past, the customers would not understand the difference between the two seasonings, but most had eaten food from Su Binglan’s shops, so they knew what spicy was.
“I would like to be spicy, please!”
“All right, here you go.”
“I-I can’t handle spicy food, sir. I’ll take the non-spicy seasoning, please.”
“Okay, no problem.”
…
Everyone was amazed when they tried the lamb skewers.
“These are delicious! The meat is sizzling and fragrant. They don’t even taste gamey.”
“Mm, I agree. I never liked eating lamb, but I never thought to cook it like this. It’s unique.”
“The spiciness is just right!”
“Give me another five big lamb skewers with spicy seasoning, please!”
“Okay, they will be ready soon.”
“I’ll have ten more small lamb skewers, sir. I’d like the non-spicy seasoning. Thank you!”
…
By noon, many others had smelled the lamb skewers’ fragrance and ran over. Then Su Wenzhe and the rest also pointed their customers to the barbecue stall.
Su Wenzhe even hired some beggars to publicize his third uncle’s stall. It was just like how Su Binglan did last time.
In addition, everyone knew the Su family owned Binglan’s Desserts, Su’s Tofu, and the lamb skewer stall, so they believed the lamb skewers would be delicious. Just like every other dish the Su family served.
The power of advertising was significant as many traveled from east to west to check out Su Fengzhi’s stall.
...
In a blink of an eye, many surrounded the lamb skewer stall. Su Fengzhi and Su Wenchi could barely keep up with the orders, even if they prepared more lamb skewers in advance.
Madam Liu’s smile grew wider when she saw how many people were around her husband’s stall.
Meanwhile, Su Wenlin helped give the customers their orders. It tested his memory as he needed to remember which customers ordered non-spicy seasonings and which ordered spicy ones. He knew he could not make any mistakes.
Lin Tongtong was also thrilled when she saw more and more customers appearing. More customers meant business was booming, and they could earn more money.
She could not bear to stay idle, but she could neither ignore her son. Therefore, Lin Tongtong thought of a way to tie Su Xuerui to her back so she could help the family.
Carrying Su Xuerui on her back would not affect the family’s workflow. Therefore, Lin Tongtong helped clean up the stall with her son safely tied to her back. She also helped to bring the customers their orders.
They had suffered in the past but could earn money alongside each other now. The family wished to use all their might and worked their hearts out.
The family also wanted to earn as much money as possible, so they motivated themselves to work harder.
Initially, the surrounding area was empty and remote, but it had become lively because of Su Fengzhi’s stall. When noon passed, the family could take a breather as there were fewer customers.
Su Wenlin entertained the customers, so his throat was sore from constantly speaking loudly.
Lin Tongtong did not even drink water before hurriedly bringing some to her husband. Su Wenlin drank a big mouthful of water and panted. “You’ve worked so hard. Is Xuerui okay?”
...
Lin Tongtong said smilingly, “I didn’t work that hard. Besides, I fed Xuerui earlier, so he fell asleep on my back.”

Su Wenlin took his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his wife’s forehead.
Su Fengzhi earned plenty of money cooking in restaurants in his earlier years, so he got to know Lin Tongtong’s father.
Her family was well-off at that time and knew to open a shop. Su Fengzhi and Lin Tongtong’s father talked much about their children, so Lin Tongtong and Su Wenlin got engaged.
Later, Su Fengzhi developed nose and throat issues, so he had no choice but to return to Su Teng Village. The conditions in his home had worsened since then.
Initially, Lin Tongtong and Su Wenlin could have annulled their marriage, but the Lin family was kind. Lin Tongtong’s father decided to let his daughter marry Su Wenlin because he knew Su Wenlin was a good man.
Lin Tongtong had a good temperament and was dutiful to her mother-in-law when she married into the Su family. She was diligent and discerning.
Lin Tongtonh was also considerate of her husband. Although Su Wenlin’s living conditions were subpar last time, his family was harmonious and cared for each other.
Still, Su Wenlin felt he had let his wife down and that she had to suffer alongside him. Now that his father was better, the family could earn a living. They could also make charcoal to earn money, especially when winter would arrive.
Just the thought of that made Su Wenlin feel at ease. At that moment, he looked at his wife, and many emotions arose in his heart. The couple looked at each other emotionally.
Su Wenlin was not good at sweet-talking, so he said, “You’ll get better soon, and I will work hard too. I can’t let you do all the work, can I?”
Lin Tongtong said shyly, “We’re a family, so there’s no need to say such things. We’ll get better and work harder together.”
“Okay.”
Ads by Pubfuture In the afternoon, the family could relax a little. Madam Liu wanted to help watch Su Xuerui and let her daughter-in-law rest, but Lin Tongtong did not let her.
She said, “Mother-in-law, I didn’t do much just now, so I’m not tired. You, on the other hand, have been busy all noon. You should take a break since there might be many more customers tonight. We still have more work to do.” @@novelbin@@
Lin Tongtong was dutiful and insistent, so Madam Liu could not argue. Indeed, Madam Liu was tired, but she was thrilled about it as she had a smile on her face the entire time.
Su Wenlin felt sorry for his wife, so he took Su Xuerui from her and said, “You should take a break, Tongtong.”
Su Fengzhi and his wife felt proud when they saw their son and daughter-in-law caring for each other. Su Wenchi also saw this and was still willing to believe in love.
Everyone rested and would talk to each other when they were not busy. Madam Liu counted the money they had earned, and her smile became more prominent.
Counting money felt very satisfying, after all.
“Three hundred, five hundred… One thousand…” Her voice was soft, but the whole family could hear her.
They no longer felt tired when they heard the numbers going up. The whole family became energetic again, thrilled to hear such high numbers.
“We have earned one thousand six hundred and eighty-two coins for now,” Madam Liu said.
Everyone was delighted to hear that number.
“Mother, did you miscount?” Su Wenchi wanted to pinch himself to see if he was dreaming.
His mother said smilingly, “Yeah, you didn’t count how many lamb skewers you barbecued. You and your father were barbecuing meat for the entire afternoon. I couldn’t have miscounted. Here, watch.”
Su Wenchi chuckled and said, “I’m just in disbelief, that’s all.”
Ads by Pubfuture Su Fengzhi said, “That was only noon, and there’s still dinner time. More people will come by then. More people will come once word of our barbecued lamb skewers gets out.
“Still, we raised our own sheep, so we might not have enough when our business grows famous. Then we’ll have to buy more, which will cost a lot.” Su Fengzhi anticipated these things because he had worked in a restaurant before.
Madam Liu did some mental calculations and said, “It’s good to cut costs. We need to spend money to buy sheep, but we won’t need to do that if we raise them ourselves. It’ll be okay because sheep typically eat grass. Considering how we dealt with sheep before, we know how hard it will be at the end of the year. At this rate, we can earn quite a lot.”
Su Wenlin said smilingly, “We can have a good New Year this year, so we won’t have to worry about being unable to sell sheep.”
He still remembered when his parents could not sleep well, but he was happy now.
After pondering, Su Fengzhi said, “The cost will be higher if we buy sheep in the future. Still, it will be a steady profit. Moreover, the weather is getting colder, and we can sell charcoal. That’s also an excellent way to earn a living.
“After all, charcoal is valuable. We can earn plenty of money if we sell our charcoal cheaper than others.” Su Fengzhi felt excited when he said that.
Su Wenchi said happily, “You’re right, Father. We still have charcoal to sell.”
Madam Liu interjected, “Binglan was the one who taught us how to make charcoal, so we must remember her favor.”
“Mother, how many times are you going to remind us? We’re not ungrateful people and will remember Binglan’s kindness.”
Lin Tongtong added, “Wenlin and I will also treat Binglan well, Mother-in-law.” She knew Madam Liu only said that for her to hear.
Lin Tongtong was not related to the Su family by blood, after all. She was the Su family’s daughter-in-law, and Madam Liu was concerned Lin Tongtong would have other thoughts.
Lin Tongtong understood her mother-in-law’s meaning, so she hurriedly tried to express her stance.
However, Madam Liu reached out to hold Lin Tongtong’s hand. She said, “You are a kind person, and I can rest assured. I also hope you and my son live well. Binglan is our family’s lucky star, and it would be good if both of you remember Binglan’s good deeds.”
Lin Tongtong’s heart was as clear as a mirror. “I understand, Mother-in-law. You’re doing this for our sake.”
…
Everyone rode the oxcart home together when they finished working in the evening. They chatted and laughed on the way home as they all had an excellent and fulfilling day.
When they reached home, Shen Qiuhua and Su Fengmao had already prepared dinner. Afterward, Shen Qiuhua brewed the medicine for her husband to soak his feet.
It was also time for Luo Jin’an to take his medicine as Shen Qiuhua prepared to brew it for him.
“Mother-in-law, you must be tired after such a busy day. I can brew the medicine myself.” Luo Jin’an was too embarrassed to let Shen Qiuhua brew the medicine for him.
Shen Qiuhua insisted, “We’re a family, and I will treat you as my own. Besides, Binglan told us to remind you to drink your medicine. How will I explain myself to her should anything happen to you while she’s gone? She cares a lot for you, and she is my daughter. As her mother, I can see how she feels about you.”
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed as he wondered how his mother-in-law could see such a thing while he could not.
“Well, Binglan is the best,” he said.
Shen Qiuhua’s smile grew wider when she heard that. It was good enough for her that Luo Jin’an knew how good Su Binglan was to him.
Still, she was worried that her son-in-law would hold a grudge against Su Binglan for what she had done to him in the past.
Luo Jin’an returned home to rest after taking his medicine in the evening. He unlocked the door and entered the house. However, he could not get used to seeing how empty it was.
He let out a long sigh and thought, ‘She must be having an arduous journey to the capital.’
Luo Jin’an could not eat or rest well either. He had received news from Luo Ying that his wife had been busy along her way to the capital.
...
…
Su Binglan knew where her second brother was, so she rode straight there. It was already noon when she arrived at the capital.
Su Binglan said to Lin Zheng, “Get ready. We’re going to a camp in the valley.”
