“Haven’t you heard? You’re really behind the times; the whole valley is already talking about it,”
“All the young girls of marriageable age in the village have swollen eyes from crying.”
Gossiping instantly lifted the spirits of the village women, chatting enthusiastically.
“Hahaha, that’s right! Our village’s Cuihua is smitten with Brother Yu and doesn’t even look at the village boys. Since she heard about Brother Yu and Miss Feng’s engagement, she hid at home and cried for several days, not eating and losing weight so quickly.”
“It’s the same in our village. Several girls are acting as if they can’t live without marrying Brother Yu, as if the sky would fall if they couldn’t.”
“I say they deserve it; they should take a good look in the mirror and see their true selves. How dare they dream of Young Master Jinyu?”
“Exactly, Brother Yu is like a celestial being with his extraordinarily handsome appearance. How could he be interested in some vulgar farm girl? They’re truly entertaining delusions.”
“Big brother is quite popular, and has a strong peach blossom affinity.”
Lin Qingluo was in the herb garden, watering the new seedlings with Spiritual Spring water, and inadvertently heard the conversations of the village women, laughing with her eyebrows raised.

Approaching noon, Lady Feng and her daughter returned from Foshou Temple after offering incense. Lin Qingluo personally went to the entrance of the fog-shrouded valley to welcome her future sister-in-law.
“Qingluo, you are finally back!”
Feng Liu’s eyes lit up upon seeing the elegant young girl, feeling extremely delighted.
“If you didn’t return soon, your big brother would’ve gone crazy with worry. He’s constantly fretting, fearing you’d encounter danger at the frontier. He urged me to go to Foshou Temple every few days to pray for your safety.”
“So when big sister goes to the temple to offer incense, it’s for Qingluo’s safety?”
Lin Qingluo’s heart quivered, her eyes flashing with emotion.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
“Absolutely! Your big brother was always craning his neck, anxiously awaiting news from the giant eagle. He was so restless during the day, his brow furrowed constantly, almost tight enough to kill a fly.”
Feng Liu’s humorous speech made her walk with Lin Qingluo towards the bamboo forest with laughter.
Lin Qingluo was amused, and her heart softened: “Qingluo also wanted to come back earlier, but it was hard to leave the people in the terribly cold frontier without doing some actual good.”
“We’ve all heard about it; the Shadow Guard brought news from the frontier.”
Feng Liu gently patted her hand and her eyes overflowed with gentleness: “Your big brother knows about your efforts to help the military and people with their farming, and he is genuinely proud of you.”
If he only knew! She had used magic spells to build a whole new Peach Blossom Land!
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so calm and still had the mood to nag at her.
Lin Qingluo’s eyes twinkled with mischief as she laughed and chatted with Feng Liu.
With Feng Liu’s return, Lin Qingluo no longer had to cook in the kitchen herself.
Dinner was served in the bamboo house; Lin Clan brothers were all present, including Lin Yixuan, who enjoyed a sumptuous feast accompanied by Baoya and Hunao.
After dinner, each brother stayed in their bamboo houses near the newly dug lotus pond.
Lin Qingluo and Lin Yixuan stayed as well, each in their own bamboo house.
The Master was about to return to Capital City, and the thoughtful Divine Beasts had ordered the birds to gather information and protect their master.
In the middle of the night, they returned from outside, relaying the recent events in Capital City to their master.
“Master, there have been some changes in Fengqi’s court recently. The Third Imperial Princess, who gained credit for eradicating the Black Wolf Guard by the garrison battalion, has caught the Empress’s eye and begun helping her with court affairs.”
“This woman has a deep heart; she is very modest and respectful on the surface, never expressing her own opinion in the court and always obeying the Empress, making her very happy. The Empress even praises her modesty, often inviting her into the palace for meals together.”
