On the road to escape famine, others ate vegetables but I ate meat

Chapter 136 The First Step in Cultivating a Confidant

"Well, then you should go back and rest. You must be tired after such a long journey."

Lan Yue nodded, stood up and left.

Liu looked at Gu Xue and Nan Yu, "You two, those who haven't finished their homework should go back and do it."

"We have finished writing." Gu Xue blinked, "Brother Nanyu and I are going to practice martial arts~"

Nan Yan stood up and said, "I'm going to practice martial arts too. I've been looking at the account books and learning to read the accounts these days, and I've neglected practicing martial arts."

She looked at Nanyu and Gu Xue, "Let's go, we'll go together."

The three of them left together.

Liu looked at Gu Yan and said to the maid and the nanny, "You go down first."

"Yes, Madam Liu."

After everyone left, Liu took a sip of tea and looked at Gu Yan, her mind sinking slightly, "Is it done?"

Gu Yan nodded and took out two documents from his arms, "Mom, from now on, we are free."

Liu picked up the paper on the table and read it carefully several times. Her hands and body were shaking, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She raised her head to stop the tears from flowing down.

She... had waited for so long, and finally was free.

"Mother..." Gu Yan felt extremely guilty as he looked at Liu. "Mother, I didn't get back half of the family property."

"No problem." Liu wiped her tears and looked at Gu Yan, feeling relieved. "It's good that you can help me do these things. I'm not interested in those material things. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so cautious about Gu Qiting before."

When she mentioned this person's name again, she felt calm. The past was gone with the wind, and she was about to start a new life.

Gu Yan had a complicated expression, "Mom, I will try my best to let you live a good life in the future."

Liu chuckled and shook her head, "Silly child, having you and Xue'er is enough for me. Those material possessions are dispensable."

"Mom, I don't want you to live a hard life." Gu Yan said stubbornly.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

In fact, they are living a very good life now.

It’s just that Gu Yan wanted to pass the imperial examination and he thought that when he achieved fame, he could express his feelings to Lan Yue.

In fact, what Gu Yan didn’t know was that no matter how successful he was, Lan Yue would never like him.

It's just that at this moment, he hasn't figured it out yet.
-
Lan Yue returned to the yard, washed up simply, and then lay on the bed thinking about her next plan.

She had to make arrangements for Nan Yan and the others before leaving here.

She knew that a tall tree attracts the wind.

But she could only plan for a few years of comfort for them. When she left, who knew what changes would happen here.

"Ayue."

Lan Yue glanced sideways.

Ye Yanjin's handsome figure appeared beside the bed.

The more I look at this face, the more I like it.

"Is something wrong?"

Ye Yanjin was stunned.

Can't I find you if there's nothing wrong?

He and she are... a couple!
Ye Yanjin felt a little aggrieved, but he didn't say it.

Ye Yanjin: "It's okay, but I just want to see you."

Lan Yue stood up and said, "Go check out the manor in a few days, and go to the human gang to see if there are any suitable people. Choose some who are good at martial arts, as well as secret guards."

Lan Yue said this and looked at Ye Yanjin, "Do you have any candidates that you can recommend to me?"

"Ayue, do you need these people to give to the Gu family?" Ye Yanjin asked, "You have no relationship with them, why are you so kind to them?"

Lan Yue looked at Ye Yanjin and said calmly, "You can't say we are not related, right? After all, we are teammates who have been through ups and downs together."

Ye Yanjin said "oh".

"Do you have any candidates?"

"Yes." Ye Yanjin nodded, "I have trained a lot of people here. I can give you twenty secret guards and ten light guards."

"Okay, it's settled." Lan Yue was very satisfied. "Then let's take a rest today. Let's go out tomorrow to find out where there are farms and fields. I want to buy a few pieces to grow crops."

"Ayue, don't ask, I have them." Ye Yanjin looked at her brightly, "You can come with me to see, I have many farms and fields, you don't have to ask hard, and you don't have to spend money to buy them."

He could finally do something for Ah Yue. Ah Yue was so amazing that he felt like a waste.

Good things should be kept within the family, Lan Yue understands.

"Okay then." Lan Yue yawned slightly, "I'm going to sleep first, you can leave if you're fine."

"I don't want to leave. I'll be on the couch next to you." Ye Yanjin pointed to the couch opposite, "I want to stay with you for a while longer."

That man has been with her for so long, it’s his turn now.

Lan Yue waved her hand, "It's up to you, but you can't disturb my rest."

Ye Yanjin nodded slightly, and after watching her fall asleep, he got up and went to rest on the couch.

Sleep until you wake up naturally.

Lan Yue looked at the time and luckily it was only half past six.

She stood up, made a few movements, then glanced at the couch. There was no sign of Ye Yanjin. She guessed that he had left.

She went straight into the space, washed, changed her clothes, and came out to see Ye Yanjin.

"Ayue, can you become invisible?"

"will not."

Ye Yanjin was surprised, no?

Then why did she suddenly appear just now? And he didn't notice her at all.

Ah Yue's cultivation...

"Ayue, you can practice."

Lan Yue hummed, and did not hide it, "Of course, I am only in the late stage of foundation building. There is little spiritual energy here. If I want to reach the golden elixir stage, I have to go to Guixu Continent."

"Ayue is so amazing!" Ye Yanjin did not ask her how she learned how to practice. There are some secrets that if Ayue doesn't tell him, he won't ask.

"Lan Yue, it's time for dinner. Are you awake?"

Gu Yan's voice came from outside the door.

There was a hint of displeasure in Ye Yanjin's eyes, but he still looked at Lan Yue gently, "Then I'll leave first and come to see you later."

Lan Yue nodded, and waited until Ye Yanjin left before she went to open the door.

"Let's go."

Gu Yan nodded.

He glanced casually into the room, then followed Lan Yue as if nothing had happened.

He seemed to hear someone talking just now...

Gu Yan was a little absent-minded.

"Sister Lan Yue."

As soon as the two little guys saw Lan Yue, they immediately stood up and greeted her.

Lan Yue walked over and sat down.

The meals tonight are very sumptuous.

"Everyone is here, let's have dinner."

Lan Yue first poured herself a bowl of soup and drank a few sips before eating the vegetables.

The two little guys enthusiastically picked up food for her.

Liu glanced at Gu Yan and saw that something was wrong with his expression, but she didn't want to ask him on the spot.

"Son, have a chicken leg. You look so thin." Liu calmly put a chicken leg into Gu Yan's bowl.

Gu Yan came back to his senses and looked at Liu. Liu nodded slightly, "Eat, why are you looking at me?"

Gu Yan nodded, and glanced at Lan Yue next to Nan Yan from the corner of his eye. He lowered his head slightly and ate white rice.

If he heard correctly, there must be a man in Lan Yue's room, but if it was true, so what?
Lan Yue had no interest in him, it was just his wishful thinking.

Gu Yan picked up a piece of carrot with some self-mockery, only to find that his mouth was tasteless.

Gu Yan was alone and sad, while Lan Yue was having a great time.

They are completely two different styles of painting.

As a mother, Liu naturally noticed that something was wrong with her son, but if it was about Lan Yue, she was powerless to do anything and could only hope that her son could get over it.
