The abbot thought for a moment.

"I actually didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when I heard that she was dating a young man that I started to notice it again."

"I know that young man. His parents both work on the farm. They are honest and capable. The young man is also quite honest. I heard that his whole family is very satisfied with Taohua."

"I thought that if he could satisfy such a family, he must be a good person."

Yan Ruyu drank tea and said nothing.

The abbot took two steps forward and asked, "What? What do you think?"

"No," Yan Ruyu asked, "After the boy died, his parents must have been very sad, right?"

"No, I saw them when I came here. They were crying like a tearful person. It was really pitiful. I even attended their funeral."

"The young man who killed him also looked quite hot with you."

"Yes, he often listened to my stories and seemed to be a good person. Who would have thought..." The abbot shook his head and sighed, "Impulse is the devil. Not only did he fail to get married, but he also ruined the family and his life."

"It will be difficult for Taohua to find a husband in the future," the abbot whispered. "People are quite feudal, and they will probably think that she will bring bad luck to her husband."

"This is probably why she doesn't want to go back to the manor."

Yan Ruyu put down the teacup and said, "Okay, let her stay and do something. We'll see what happens next."

The topic was over, and no more was said. Yan Ruyu asked, "Have you seen the new courtyard? Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied, satisfied, it's really nice," the abbot smiled, "It's much more spacious than the previous one, Ruyu, you are still good to me."

"Of course, you've been working hard lately. Have a good rest. I'll ask Beibei and the others to prepare dinner and welcome you tonight."

The abbot rubbed his hands and said, "Oh, I came to talk to you about this. The food at the farm is not bad, but it's still not as good as what you cook."

"You can order whatever you want to eat, three dishes."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came to report from outside.

"Princess, the two Miss Jiangs are here. They said they are hosting a banquet tonight. Please come and have fun, Princess."

"Let them in."

This was the first time that the Jiang sisters visited in such a formal manner.

As soon as they entered the door, they bowed deeply.

Yan Ruyu did not stop them. They would feel at ease only after the gift arrived.

"You came just in time. I was discussing dinner with the abbot and wanted to invite you to come over and have dinner together in the evening."

Jiang Ruhuan said, "In that case, Princess, I must pay for the banquet. I'll just use your precious place to make it lively."

Yan Ruyu did not refuse: "Okay."

Jiang Ruhuan was delighted: "Abbot, I don't know what kind of vegetarian food you like. I will prepare a table for you."

Abbot: “…” I don’t want any vegetarian food. I came back from far away not to eat vegetarian food!

"I'll arrange the food for the abbot," Yan Ruyu continued, trying not to laugh. "I'll ask someone to invite the Cao family and Princess Mingzhao later."

"Follow the princess's arrangements."

When the eldest lady heard about this, she took the female soldiers who were resting today to help. Jiang Ruhuan had already decided to follow Yan Ruyu in the future, and she would inevitably have to deal with the female soldiers. When they met this time, both sides had a very pleasant conversation and felt like fish in water.

When Huo Changhe came back, he saw a happy scene, which washed away all his fatigue from the past few days.

Anyway, there were many people helping, so Huo Changhe took Yan Ruyu and quietly returned to the courtyard when no one was paying attention, and sent the boss and Linlang to the front to help.

It's a rare opportunity for the two of them to have half a day of leisure together.

It was almost dark, and the kitchen and front hall were bustling with activity, with the lights already on.

The guests had arrived long ago, and Mrs. Cao went to the kitchen herself to prepare a few of her signature dishes, just like Jiang Ruhuan.

Yinding and the others looked at Yan Ruyu's yard and pushed each other.

"Beibei, you go."

Beibei swallowed her saliva and said, "Brother Tuotuo, the prince just came back, and I'm afraid he has a lot to say to the princess. At this moment... I don't dare."

"You're such a wimp." Yinding rolled his eyes. "Fengxiao, you..."

Feng Shao covered his stomach and said, "I feel a little..."

"Since your stomach is uncomfortable, you don't have to attend the dinner later."

The Bee Whistleman immediately withdrew: "I'm fine."

“But I don’t dare go.”

Quan Dao met Yin Ding's gaze and shook his head without waiting for him to ask.

Zhao Yan touched the back of his head: "I dare to go..."

Yinding's eyes lit up, and Zhao Yan said, "That's right. I have a problem. When I reply, I like to tell the whole process from beginning to end."

Everyone: "..."

Yinding was so angry that he was fuming: What do you mean? Just report everything they said just now from beginning to end?

Who are you threatening here?

Yinding gave a wink and the other three rushed forward and surrounded Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan quickly smiled and begged for mercy: "No, brothers, I was wrong, I..."

He was halfway through his speech when his expression suddenly changed: "Prince, Princess."

Yinding sneered and flexed his wrists: "You still want to deceive us? I, your brother Tuotuo, am wise and powerful, and I am the messenger of the God of War. How can I be fooled by your dog?"

Zhao Yan pursed his lips and said nothing, just staring.

Yinding disagreed: "The acting is too bad, even if I blink my eyelids it doesn't look like it."

Just as he finished speaking, a voice behind him said with a smile: "Martial God Messenger, you are wise and powerful, what can I do for you here?"

Yinding turned around quickly, his eyes wide open: "Princess."

At the dinner, everyone saw Yinding brushing the sauce on the roasted whole lamb with an expressionless face. His throat rolled slightly, and when he saw others coming to eat, his back teeth were about to break.

Yan Ruyu also drank a few glasses of fruit wine and her face turned slightly red.

Listening to the laughter and looking at the smiling faces, I feel that living like this is pretty good.

As far as I could see, I didn't see Huo Changxu.

She whispered to the eldest lady, "Mother, why can't I see Changxu?"

The eldest lady said, "Don't worry about him. He said that a great scholar was coming today. It was rare to see him. He didn't want to miss the opportunity, so he came back after meeting him."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, Changxu also knows to put his career first, that's good. Ask the kitchen to save some food for later."

The eldest lady was helpless: "You are the only one who is magnanimous. Thinking back to how bad that boy was, I feel so ashamed."

The eldest lady also drank some wine, and couldn't help but think of what happened before, feeling emotional.

"There's no need to talk about the past," Yan Ruyu clinked glasses with the eldest lady, "Now is not a good time, everyone has made mistakes before."

The eldest lady pulled Yan Ruyu and was about to say something private when Yan Ruyu caught a glimpse of one of Song Ping's brothers walking quickly into the yard and whispering something to Song Ping.

Yan Ruyu remembered that he was on duty today.

Song Ping stood in front of the fire, his face half bright and half dark. Yan Ruyu clearly saw the expression on his face tighten.

Could something have happened?

Song Ping waved his hand, asking his brothers to leave. He tilted his head, just in time to meet Yan Ruyu's gaze, and nodded slightly.

Sure enough, something happened.

Yan Ruyu said to the eldest lady, "Mother, please greet the Jiang sisters and introduce Jiang Ruhuan to the women soldiers as closely as possible."
