“Come on, Host, don’t resist this. It might turn out to be a great match,” the System coaxed.

“Furthermore, although the Marriage Stone is primarily related to marital destiny, it can greatly assist the host in your path to riches.”

How so?

“Well, the system is not sure at the moment…”

Are you joking with me?

“Ahem, although the System doesn’t know the specific benefits of the Marriage Stone in your path to wealth, one thing is certain. The System was set up with the primary goal of helping the host rise to the peak of life and wealth, so every task it sets and every decision it makes will definitely benefit the host.”

“The Marriage Stone will undoubtedly play a significant role in the future, please believe me, Host.”

Look me in the eyes and say this!

It made some sense…

If you connected all the tasks assigned previously, each one was laying a path to the future. Thus, it was credible for the System to say that everything within its domain was designed to help her get rich.

Fine, let it go this time, but if it happens again, she certainly won’t let it pass so easily.

Zhuang Qingning sulked, huffed, and went back to the shop to help out a bit. After a while, she followed Zhuang Sifu back home.

“Little sister Ning,” Zhuang Sifu suddenly spoke on the way.

“What’s it, Brother Sifu?” Zhuang Qingning was very curious, seeing Zhuang Sifu’s hesitation to speak.

“I don’t mean to pry, I’m just curious, I’m just asking off the top of my head,” said Zhuang Sifu.

Zhuang Sifu sheepishly asked, “What’s exactly the relationship between Aunt Wen and Aunt Han, who lives at her place? They seem to be very close.”

“Aye, I also noticed that Aunt Wen usually has a bad temper. She’s very tough on everyone in our village, yourself included, except Little Sister Ning. No one’s spared, not even Uncle Yutian and Uncle Yucheng. But she treats Aunt Han extremely well, which strikes me as very odd.”

“They don’t appear to be friends.”

“I heard Aunt Wen and Aunt Han chatting, they said earlier they used to live in the same village, grown up together and are close friends. But when their village was hit by a flood, the villagers scattered all around, some went to escape, some went to seek refuge. That’s when Aunt Wen and Aunt Han separated. They had not seen each other for decades until recently when they met again.”

Zhuang Qingning blinked and laughed slyly, “Is everything clear now, Brother Sifu?”

“Yeah, it’s clear.” Zhuang Sifu nodded.

“Brother Sifu, is there anything else you want to ask?”

“For example, about Sister Zhou…”

Zhuang Qingning interrupted and laughed mischievously.

Zhuang Sifu flushed beet red, “Did… did you figure it out?”

“When Brother Sifu asks so blatantly, if I can’t figure it out, I’d be really obtuse!” Zhuang Qingning chuckled, “If Brother Sifu is interested, why not find an opportunity to ask Sister Zhou herself?”

The two were of similar age, and if appearances were anything to go by, they made a good match.

Given Zhou Daya’s current situation, it seemed likely she would wish to settle here in the village, and while building a house would certainly not be easy, finding a suitable husband in the village would be a good alternative.

It would ultimately be up to Zhou Daya to decide.

“No, no, no…” Zhuang Sifu hurriedly waved his hand, his face feeling hot, “Little sister Ning, if you understand, that’s enough, don’t say anything, I won’t ask her either, just let it be.”

“Given the state of my family…”

Zhuang Sifu sighed.

It wasn’t fair to burden others with his circumstances.

Zhuang Qingning pursed her lips.

Zhuang Sifu’s father had been bedridden for many years, and the family only had two acres of barren land, dwelling in an old house that could collapse at any moment. The word “poor” described their situation perfectly.

Zhuang Sifu clearly doesn’t want Zhou Daya to share his hardship, and thought Mrs. Han wouldn’t let her granddaughter jump into such a pit.

That must be one of the troubles encountered on the path of love.

“Alright, I’ll remember not to tell anyone. You can relax, Brother Sifu.” Zhuang Qingning readily agreed.

Marriage destiny is decided by heaven and depends on people’s inclination. Zhuang Qingning felt that it was not her place to get involved.

Seeing this, Zhuang Sifu slightly relaxed and flicked the whip in his hand.

The ox mooed loudly, its hooves pounded the ground stronger, propelling the cart’s speed.

By the time Fan Wenxuan arrived at Qingzhuyuan, it was already evening.

“Sir, you are finally back,” exhaled Ning Feng as he eagerly grabbed Fan Wenxuan’s sleeve, “You were not seen the whole day. I have had people searching everywhere. I was about to report you missing.”

“I was just getting a bit bored in the garden and went out for a stroll,” Fan Wenxuan said cheerfully, dismissing the fact that he had been missing for a whole day as something trivial.”

This Mr. Fan is truly unique.

One whole day without a trace, Ning Feng was extremely worried. If he couldn’t find Wenxuan, he would have contacted Chu Jinnian explaining the situation, so they could investigate if someone was deliberately causing trouble.

However, there was no such reason for Fan Wenxuan. He just wanted to take a walk, just like a playful child, which was quite a headache for him.

However, Fan Wenxuan was always a bit eccentric and unconventional. This was not something too incongruous for him.

“In the future, if you want to go for a stroll, just inform me. I will arrange someone to escort you and take care of you,” suggested Ning Feng.

If he wasn’t planning to do anything dangerous, there would be no problem, even if Chu Jinzhou would go with him.

Such was Chu Jinnian’s specific instructions.

“I understand. I’ll remember it next time,” Fan Wenxuan squinted his eyes,

“You haven’t told Third Young Master about today’s incident, right?”

Ning Feng was slightly amazed, “Not yet…”

“That’s good.”

After all, Chu Jinnian shouldn’t hear about this incident too early, otherwise, it would be way too boring.

“You don’t have to tell the Third Young Master about it. Today, I sneaked out to find something for Jinzhou. If he knew about it, he would nag for a long time, I would get a definite headache,” Fan Wenxuan said with a nonchalant grin on his face, dangling a small grasshopper cage in his hand.

The grasshopper cage, made of bamboo strips, was a thing of beauty.

The grasshopper inside was chirping. Its sounds were not bothersome in the sweltering summer but were, in fact, very pleasing.

So, he had gone out for a whole day just to find this interesting toy for the Third Young Master.
