On the second day of the Spring Banquet, Jiang Muxia began to pack her luggage and prepare to return to the county.

She looked at Qingyun packing up quickly and couldn't help teasing her, "Why are you in such a hurry? Are you afraid that Aunt Fang will come to visit?"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, good things don't work but bad things do, lady, touch the wood."

Qinghong looked at Qingyun's angry expression and laughed so hard that she bent over.

Jiang Muxia obediently reached out and touched the small table, smiling and shaking her head. It was really interesting that Qingyun, who had always been ignorant and fearless, was frightened into this state by a concubine Fang.

Tang Zhongbai came back at night and told her that the weather was still cold in early spring, and the old man and the old lady were old after all, so his father wanted to wait until the weather was completely warm before letting them set off. He asked him to come and discuss it with her so as not to disappoint her again.

This was the second time the trip was delayed. The first time was because Liu Ying was afraid that her fetus was not yet firmly established, so she waited for three months before leaving.

Tang Zhongbai saw that she was not angry, so he asked her carefully: "Madam, is it okay?"

"Of course." She looked up and smiled.

She understood that her mother wanted them to stay for a while longer to spend more time with the old man and the old lady. As children, how could she not understand?

Tang Zhongbai should be more anxious than her to leave. The official business of the county government has been entrusted to Li Changli for half a year. These days, he receives letters every day and handles official business until midnight.

Tang Zhongbai was eager to return home, and was afraid that he would delay his important work if he could not do it himself.

With family on one side and official duties on the other, Tang Zhongbai is the one with the most difficult situation.

Looking at his blue eyes, her heart ached. Was there a possibility that he could return to the capital to be an official so that he could always be with his family?

But what about the relatives in Suanzao County?

A month later, when they returned to Suanzao County, the weather in April had really started to warm up.

Tang Zhongbai returned to the county and stayed in the yamen day and night to deal with the backlog of official business. Even Jiang Muxia had to go to the yamen in person to see him.

The old man and old lady of the Tang family arrived at Qingfeng Villa and never wanted to leave. Although they lived under the same roof with Chu Ruo, they saw each other every day, and the three of them got along well.

But Chu Ruo couldn't bring herself to call them father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Xu Da's family had moved from the villa to the newly built courtyard next to Yin's house a month ago. Jiang Muxia had already written a letter to inform him of Yin Yusheng's death.

Those who knew about it kept it a secret from Yin’s parents and Yin Haitang, just let them have some hope.

As expected, Liu Qingyuan went out to travel. Before leaving, she bought a yard for her sister next to Tuanyuanju in the north of the city. The mother and daughter took the raw materials from the Li family workshop, made them at home, and returned the finished products. Life was back on track.

Tang Xing's family chose to settle down in the village. His wife was arranged to work in the Li family workshop, and Tang's mother stayed at home to take care of the children. Although life became stable, Tang's mother's health became weaker and weaker.

After taking her pulse, Chu Ruo said that she was too seriously ill and no longer needed treatment. She asked Tang Xing to go home and prepare for her death, as she didn't have much time left.

Tang Xing was sad, but he knew that his stepmother was not only killed because of his thirteenth sister, but also because of his missing biological father. He could only let his stepmother live comfortably in the few days left, hoping that she would see her sister in the underworld and untie the knot in her heart.

As soon as Jiang Muxia arrived home, Liu Xuer couldn't wait to visit her.

Seeing her walking slowly and looking shy, I knew that her wish had been fulfilled.

"Sister Liu is pregnant."

Liu Xuer smiled and nodded, "Thanks to you for recommending me to Dr. Chu. He is truly an expert. The medicine worked immediately after I took it."

"That's great! My child now has a new playmate."

A gentle breeze blew, warm and carrying the tranquil scent of flowers. Looking up at the blue sky, a bird flew by quickly.

She smiled and felt happy. She had friends around her, a loving husband at home, young and healthy parents, and healthy brothers and sisters.

What else do you want in life?

At this time, a person trotted into the yard. Tang Si, sweating profusely, stopped and panted and asked her, "Second Madam, have you seen Tang San?"

"I haven't seen him today."

Tang Si spat angrily, "This brat threw a bunch of work to me and ran to Xigang Village to help Miss Jiang weed the fields. I must bring him back..."

He hurried away muttering to himself, and the people in the yard smiled at each other.

It seems like Tang San's good fortune is about to happen. Tang Si is feeling unhappy because he has lost his place to stay, so he takes it out on others.

Long before Weidong came back, Tang Zhongbai asked him to buy two adjacent courtyards in the south of the city, so that after the two got married, they could live close to each other and support each other.

Tang San already has Jiang Hongxin, but Tang Si doesn't even have a lover he likes, which makes Tang Zhongbai so worried that he keeps sighing.

Jiang Muxia heard from Tang Si that Tang San went straight to Xigang Village as soon as he returned from the capital. Jiang Hongxin avoided him because the military lady saw that the young man was handsome and upright, so she invited him to her home for a meal. He sat at the table and made no noise while eating. She was even more delighted and secretly asked her son to remind him to invite a matchmaker to the house to propose marriage.

Jiang Muxia helped him prepare the gifts and invited an official matchmaker, and Aunt Jun and his wife took it upon themselves to decide for their daughter and arrange the marriage.

Jiang Hongxin never showed up from beginning to end. The next time Tang San saw her was outside Jiang Muxia's room in the evening of the day after the engagement.

One was about to leave, and the other had just entered the yard. When their eyes met, there was shyness in both of them.

Tang San saw that she was holding the wooden box, reached out to take it, and inserted the white jade hairpin into her bun.

He said, “It’s beautiful.”

She said, "Thank you."

The two smiled at each other, and the lovers finally became a couple.

Tang Si hid in the house and watched the two of them through the crack in the door, feeling so envious that his teeth were itching.

Good news came one after another. Jiang Muxia sighed. She had no idea what these people did at home during the time she was away.

When the invitation was handed to her, she was surprised and happy.

The little girl who once ran to the restaurant in the middle of the night to report the news is now about to get married when she reaches the age of 15.

"Lancao, Lancao, you and Brother Jiyi have kept it a secret from me. From now on, I have to call you sister-in-law when I see you, you little girl..."

Although Lancao is young, she is lively and decisive, which complements Li Jiyi's personality, making them a good match.

Later, she learned that they had developed feelings for each other when Lancao was helping out at the restaurant the year before last, but Lancao was too young at the time and did not tell anyone. It was not until Lancao came of age after the Chinese New Year that Li Jiyi told Lu Zhaoxia about their relationship.

Lu Zhaoxia finally understood why her son kept turning down the girls who came to propose marriage. She thought her son was not healthy and secretly gave him a lot of tonics. But she didn't expect that he already had someone in his heart.

Li Jiyi is already over twenty and there is really no time to delay.

Then they invited a matchmaker, asked for the bride price, asked for the bride's name, and after everything was agreed upon, the wedding date was set for April 26th.

And Jiang Muxia's worry was finally put to rest.
