Li Sanjiang: "Does Little Yuanhou also have to go?"
Tan Wenbin: "Brother Xiao Yuan is valued by his ntor, he doesn't need to go."
Li Sanjiang: "Oh, that's fine, saves the trouble."
Zhao Yi: "Mr. Li, we've got a juicy job in Jinling, so we have to go out for a while, it's just right to join them on the way there and back."
Li Sanjiang: "Look after each other on the way."
Zhao Yi: "Sure."
After the al, everyone started packing after taking a bath.
Zhou Yunyun and Chen Lin had packed their luggage in the morning and were standing on the dam waiting for them.
Watching them prepare so easily and happily, Chen Lin felt a strong sense of unreality.
In her and her family's eyes, the Lu family could bring great pressure, yet it couldn't even arouse their slightest concern, as if it were just an outing.
When Tan Wenbin ca out, Zhou Yunyun tried to lift the backpack behind him:
"Do you need to bring so many things back to school? It's so heavy."
"That's how we engineers are."
"But I've seen seniors from your major, they seem to just carry a bucket."
"Carrying a backpack looks more spirited."
"Indeed, are your clothes collectively customized? They look really nice."
"Yes, Yunyun, we're leaving now, say goodbye to everyone."
Zhou Yunyun imdiately went to bid farewell to Li Sanjiang, Aunt Liu, and Liu Yui, including Li Zhiyuan, who was reading on the second floor.
Lin Shuyou looked at Chen Lin, who mustered the courage to say goodbye.
Aunt Liu was more enthusiastic towards Chen Lin, after all, her presence these days greatly alleviated the pressure in the kitchen.
Liu Yui's differential treatnt was obvious; she responded to Zhou Yunyun with a smile, but just nodded slightly to Chen Lin while drinking tea.
The old lady valued etiquette, Zhou Yunyun's status was set, only waiting to join the family after Jianghu was over, seen as a family mber, while Chen Lin was only unofficially involved.
If treated the sa, it would be unfair to Zhou Yunyun.
Of course, Zhou Yunyun herself probably didn't notice this, but Chen Lin understood it very well in her heart.
And what supports the establishnt of the rules is not relying on seniority or dignity, but on interest distribution.
Aunt Liu handed a slip to Zhou Yunyun, saying: "It should have been sent from there, but since you're going back to Jinling School now, find a day to go to the shop at the address and pick up those two sets of clothes."
Zhou Yunyun asked puzzledly: "What is this?"
Aunt Liu: "Clothes custom-made for you by the old lady."
Zhou Yunyun: "This isn't appropriate."
The clothes made in a remote shop mustn't be cheap, and Zhou Yunyun had visited many tis before, but the gifts she brought each ti were all for Li Sanjiang.
Tan Wenbin: "Accept it, be good."
Zhou Yunyun nodded, took the slip, and walked to the old lady: "Thank you, old lady."
Liu Yui: "Hmm."
At this mont, Aunt Liu handed another slip to Chen Lin, this ti indicating fabric instead of clothes.
"It's also picked up at a shop."
Chen Lin, who knew the trade, realized the fabric was the sa as used in her father's ceremonial family head attire for rituals, capable of being embroidered with texture to enhance Onmyoji perception.
Although it couldn't match Zhou Yunyun's ready-made clothes, it was equally precious.
In this truly profound noble family, the rewards they dispensed effortlessly, were treasures to smaller clans and sects.
As Zhou Yunyun and Tan Wenbin walked out together, Chen Lin found a chance, jogged over, slowed down near Liu Yui, and finally naturally knelt down:
"Thanks for the grace, old madam."
"Ah You is simple and straightforward, but he's not foolish; you're smart, but can't afford mistakes, understand that, and you can live a peaceful life."
"Thank you for the guidance, old madam, Lin'er will rember it sincerely."
The old lady waved her hand.
Chen Lin: "Old madam, take care, I will pay respects again when possible, serving under your knees."
Finishing her words, Chen Lin got up and walked out to catch up with them.
Aunt Liu ca over with a plate of pastries.
Liu Yui: "It's been so many years since I spoke like this, it indeed feels a bit strange."
Aunt Liu: "It's simple, if you like it, we can bring back the old customs and have morning and evening greetings."
Liu Yui picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Aunt Liu's mouth.
"Your mouth is getting better at teasing, showing no decorum."
"Who to bla, it's your indulging."
"Heh."
"Clearly a hobred, but you raised us like your own daughters and sons, wanting us to revert to respecting ranks again, that's hard."
Liu Yui didn't get angry, instead, she smiled.
Qin Li and Liu Ting as children flashed in her eyes.
At that ti, her ho was empty.
It was their presence that made this house, resemble a ho again.
Aunt Liu took out a stack of na cards, handing them over: "Old madam, you need to decide on these, it's a matter of the Yu Family."
Liu Yui took them, opened and glanced through, then sighed:
"So anxious indeed."
When a whale falls, life is renewed.
Currently, many top forces in Jianghu are eyeing the Yu family like a piece of fat at.
Aunt Liu: "Mistress, we..."
Liu Yui: "We only have a few people in the family, having enough to eat is sufficient, could we consu more from outside?"
Aunt Liu: "Then what do you think?"
Liu Yui: "Let them probe, co at us, or try to divide, we will not participate."
Having said that, the old lady closed her eyes.
Aunt Liu knew, the old lady was feeling sympathy over a shared fate.
From this, one could see the difficulty the old lady endured to support the Dragon King's Court over decades, those plaques, though always shaky, never fell.
Yet for the Yu family, rumors were rife outside, saying that the Dragon King plaque... had changed color.
