When soldiers come, they block with soldiers; when water comes, they cover with earth. Liu Qingxi could hardly believe that her years of modern life experience would not suffice to deal with this ancient woman, Wang.
With a rough idea forming in her mind, she realized that it would be easy for her to handle the Jiang Clan.
However, despite the cowardice of the Liu Family and the Qin Family, they were a rare source of warmth for her.
Reflecting on her long time in this ancient world, she had lived cautiously, not only fearing being discovered but also feeling terrified of the unfamiliar environment!
"Now it's good; life has finally returned to normal!" she thought silently.
Listening to Liu Qingyan's gentle breathing beside her brought her an inexplicable sense of peace.
The cool moonlight streamed through the window, softly caressing Liu Qingxi's face, casting a curved shadow from her long eyelashes onto her oval face.
The sounds of birds outside gradually changed, and after much contemplation, Liu Qingxi slowly drifted into sleep.
The next morning, she woke up and, as usual, cooked two bowls of porridge to fill their stomachs before starting their day.
"Sister, are we going to town today?"
"Yes, didn't I tell you yesterday? Go get the wild chickens and rabbits; we will sell them in town!"
As she placed the prey into the basket, Liu Qingyan was unable to do much physical work; all of this was handled by Liu Qingxi herself.
Just as they closed the courtyard door and walked out of the village, a horse-drawn carriage approached from a distance.
The siblings stepped aside to make way for the carriage.
Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped in front of them.
A pair of fair and slender hands slowly lifted the curtain, revealing a familiar face with a smile as always: "Qingxi, Qingyan, get in!"
"Yang Yichen, is that you?" Liu Qingxi was quite surprised by the arrival.
"I know you were going to town, and I just happened to be heading home today, so I thought I'd give you a ride!" Yang Yichen said with unwavering eyes.
Anan, who was also in the carriage, rolled his eyes in silence. The young master was telling a serious lie; did he even believe it himself?
He knew very well that the young master didn't like going back to their home in town. It was only because he heard Qingxi was going that he made this last-minute decision!
"Young master, could you not be so fake?" Anan thought silently.
Liu Qingxi, unaware of Yang Yichen's true intentions for this trip, felt happy that they could save an hour of travel time.
After spending some time with Yang Yichen, they had become good friends, so she didn't decline further and got into the carriage directly.
The carriage looked spacious from the outside, and with four people inside, it felt quite comfortable. Yang Yichen took out a bag of snacks from the hidden compartment under the seat: "Yan, eat up!"
Liu Qingyan eagerly stared at the snacks after they were taken out.
As soon as Yang Yichen finished speaking, he couldn't wait to grab them. Like someone who had practiced countless times, he skillfully pulled out a piece of pastry and tossed it into his mouth.
"Yan, slow down when you eat!" Liu Qingxi covered her eyes in disbelief. How could she have such a gluttonous younger brother? Could he not be a bit more restrained?
Liu Qingyan stuffed her mouth full while eating and praised, "Delicious, delicious! Thank you, Yi Chen Brother! You all should eat too!"
Yang Yichen shook his head slightly, "You and your sister enjoy it. I've already eaten!"
In fact, this was specially prepared for the siblings, and the cook in the house had gotten up early to prepare it.
The carriage traveled along the road to Biqi Town, bumping over the uneven ground. Liu Qingxi lost her balance and stumbled!
At that critical moment, Yang Yichen quickly reached out to pull her back, preventing her from falling. "Qingxi, slow down!"
The warm breath brushed against Liu Qingxi's face. The soul of a modern woman in her late twenties felt her heart race inexplicably, and she blushed!
"Ah! How can I be tempted by a minor!" Her heart raced like a thousand deer running amok.
Clearing her throat twice, she awkwardly shifted back until she was pressed against the carriage wall, unable to move further.
"Thank you!"
"Be careful; the road isn't very good and can be bumpy!" His eyes held a smile, and his gentle gaze was intoxicating.
From the first time he saw Liu Qingxi, he felt a sense of familiarity, whether it was her actions or how she ate Cicada Monkey.
Since childhood, he had felt different from others—not due to physical discomfort but because his soul could not connect with theirs.
Until meeting Liu Qingxi and becoming friends, the feeling of a wandering soul suddenly disappeared, and there was a sense of peace at every moment.
In the following time, Liu Qingxi dared not look into Yang Yichen's eyes, turning her head towards the window to gaze at the scenery outside, feeling the gentle breeze of late summer that was no longer hot.
Fortunately, the carriage moved quickly, and after about two quarters of an hour, they arrived in town. Liu Qingxi was the first to get off.
"Yang Yichen, thank you! We’ll be leaving now!" She was eager to leave.
Yang Yichen quickly leaned his head out of the carriage: "Qingxi, when will you go back? I can take you back later!"
"No, that's not necessary. We don't even know when we'll be going back!" In truth, she was afraid of encountering another awkward situation like before.
She then grabbed Liu Qingyan and hurriedly left.
Yang Yichen watched as the girls hurried away, a confident smile spreading across his face: "Qingxi, Qingxi," he repeated the name in his heart.
Until the girls' figures disappeared at the end of the street, his smile suddenly faded: "Let's go back!"
The coachman turned the horse around and drove towards the largest mansion in town.
As soon as they entered the house, a strong scent of cosmetics filled the air; only the Wen Family's courtyard felt like a pure land, with honest and simple maids.
Unexpectedly, just a short while after leaving, Wen Family was pleasantly surprised by their son's return: "Yichan, why are you back?"
"Mother, I came back to take a look. Also, see? I'm feeling much better!"
Wen Family carefully observed him all around, saying, "Not bad, not bad. You really look much better, and your complexion has improved. The countryside is indeed a good place!"
"Mother, how have you been these past few days? What about Father?"
Unexpectedly, Wen Family snorted coldly, "Don't worry about him; whatever he wants to do has nothing to do with me!"
Many years ago, Wen Family had given up on Yang Bingshan. As for how many women came into the backyard, it no longer hurt her heart.
If there is no love, there will be no pain; if there is no hatred, one can remain calm and unperturbed!
Wen Family now felt neither love nor hate; Yang Bingshan was merely her nominal husband. As long as those women did not affect her son's status, she would not interfere.
The mother and son chatted for half an hour, and Yang Yichen's complexion remained good. Wen Family's mood was excellent!
However, someone did not want to let her be happy. Just as Wen Family was asking about the people traveling with them, a cheerful male voice came from outside.
"Yichan is back? How have you been lately?"
The newcomer stood tall with a long beard and wore a dark blue patterned brocade robe, looking like a handsome middle-aged man.
This person was none other than Yang Yichen's father, Yang Bingshan. Just by appearance, he was undoubtedly an upright, capable man with a clear sense of right and wrong. But at that moment, a noisy sound came from outside.
