Chapter 49: The Unfathomable Lin Zi

  Su Xiaofan held a plate of dishes and stood behind several people for a long time, completely not understanding what they were talking about.

  However, although he didn't understand what was being said, he could see the look of terror on Xiao Yuanfeng's face at this moment.

  Isn't it just a forest?

  Is it that scary?

  Xiao Yuanfeng turned around and saw Su Xiaofan, he stood up like seeing a lifesaver and walked forward to take the dish from his hand: "Xiaofan, save me."

  "Save your life?" Su Xiaofan blinked, looking at him in confusion. Wasn't he just asked to go live in a certain forest for half a month?

  Why so anxious?

  "Uh, help me beg for mercy from Mo and Uncle Fu, don't make me go to the forest of my master." Xiao Yuanfeng's face was filled with painful expression, thinking of that forest, he recalled the three days of suffering he had experienced inside, now if he had to stay there for half a month, he would definitely die.

  "Hmm, no big deal, it's just a forest... " Su Xiaofan patted his shoulder and sat down.

  "That's no ordinary forest." Xiao Yuanfeng hastily scratched his head and rubbed his temples.

  Xiao Yi Mo glanced at him with the corner of his eye and said coolly, "If you think half a month is too short, why not ask Fu Shu to discuss it with Master, and add another half month?"

  Xiao Yuanfeng glared at him with anger and resentment, then sat back in his own seat with a bitter face: "I appreciate your kindness, half a month is enough."

  "Is that enough? Don't be polite to us, okay?" Xiao Yimiao's lips curled up in a smile, and with her childish face, she lost her original flavor and showed off a few clever and mischievous looks.

  "That's enough, I'm really not being polite." Xiao Yuanfeng squeezed out a few words from between his teeth.

  Su Xiaofan suddenly became very interested in that so-called Lin Zi, and said to Xiao Yuanfeng: "Let's go play together another day."

  As soon as these words came out, all the people in Xiao's family fell silent and looked at Su Xiaofan with consistent surprise.

  Su Xiaofan blinked her eyes repeatedly, wondering if she had just said something strange.

  Xiao Yi Mo's mouth twitched slightly: "That place is not suitable for girls."

  Girls can't go in?

  Su Xiaofan repeatedly pondered this sentence, but couldn't figure out what it meant. However, it made her even more curious about that incredible Lin Zi.

  The room was filled with laughter and conversation.

  Ye's happy eyes narrowed into a line, from the beginning of the banquet to the end, he was always smiling.

  More or less, everyone can understand why Fang Er chose to hold such a grand full moon banquet when he still hasn't paid back the money, and this family has been quiet for so long.

  Since Ziyuan gave birth to Fan'er, her body has not been good. It was also from then on that the conditions in this house have always been very tense. In the blink of an eye, so many years have passed, and Yifu is gone too. This family can be like this lively and bustling, inviting people from the village to come together to celebrate Xuan'er's full moon, all thanks to Fan'er.

  "Daughter, things will get better later." Madam Ji turned her head and smiled at Ye Shi, thinking to herself that she was no different from her, with a mix of emotions in her heart. If she hadn't restrained herself, she might have also burst into tears like the daughter.

  "Uh-huh." Ye wiped away a few tears from the corner of her eyes, today was just too exciting.

  Su Xiaofan smiled sweetly at them, from now on, she would definitely work harder to make this home better.

  Until the banquet ended, some villagers had already left in twos and threes. Zhang Yun Song was still sitting there, entangled in his thoughts. Throughout the meal, although he occasionally heard words of praise from his parents about how delicious the food was, he himself didn't enjoy the taste at all, his mind preoccupied with thinking about Su Xiao Fan's situation.

  Xiao Changfu was also preparing to leave with the crowd, and before he left, he looked at Yun Song with concern and said to Su Xiaofan: "Will he come to make trouble?"

  "The village chief doesn't need to worry, it's nothing." Su Xiaofan smiled and sent away all the people before walking over to Zhang Yuncong and his wife's position and sitting down: "Uncle and aunt, is today's meal to your taste?"

  "Did Fang'er really cook these dishes?" Su Dongcai asked with a hint of doubt, as she usually wouldn't even cook when she came to her own home.

  "Yeah, I guess so." Su Xiaofan smiled and then suppressed the smile at the corner of her lips, looking towards Zhang YunSong.

  "Fan Er really is as the rumors say, becoming more and more likable." Su Dong Cui smiled wryly. When Yun Song first proposed to dissolve his engagement with Fan Er, his father had not agreed. It was only because at that time, he himself truly thought that Fan Er had no outstanding qualities, so after persuading his father for a long time, he finally agreed.

  She herself did not expect that in such a short period of time, why she could change into a completely different person.

  If she had been like this before, how would I have agreed to the idea of Cloud Song breaking off the engagement? Having a daughter-in-law by my side is better than that haughty Chancellor's daughter. After marrying Cloud Song, she hasn't come back home once. Now even though she's near Miao City, there's no mention of her coming back to see the elders at home. This isn't good, and in the future, even if they have children, I won't be able to see them.

  Thinking of this, my heart feels sour and astringent. Although Yun Cong is considered to be bringing honor to the family, only I can understand the taste of it. I don't even dare ask him how he's getting along with that young lady from the Chengxiang household...

  Zhang Yun Song's eyes had been fixed on her since the moment she walked in.

  Su Xiaofan was stared at by his hypocritical gaze, her whole body felt numb, and she felt like goosebumps were about to jump up. She frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it."

  "Little one, I..." Zhang Yun Song was quite entangled. Although today's intention was to come and seal her mouth, for which he had even prepared some silver coins, but at this moment, he couldn't bring himself to take them out. He felt that once they were taken out, he would no longer have any excuse to come to her house again. And the events of that day still lingered vividly in his mind - why was she able to look at him so calmly now?

  She used to like herself so much, but after what she did, she should hate herself. Why can only see disgust in her clear eyes, without a hint of hatred?

  "With our current relationship, it's better for you to call me Miss Su, Lord Zhang, to avoid any gossip." Su Xiaofan glanced at Xiao Yimeng standing in the distance and smiled slightly after seeing the displeasure in his eyes. Indeed, he was still more lovable and pleasing to the eye than that Zhang Yuncong, who was full of hypocrisy from head to toe.

  Zhang Yun Song followed her gaze and then his face slightly sank: "Sorry, it's all my fault."

  Su Xiaofan stood up: "The past is all in the past, I don't want to mention it again, and I think things are pretty good now." After finishing speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and prepared to go with Su Bing and others to collect bowls and chopsticks: "Alright, I won't see you off. Uncle and Aunt can come over to play when they're free. As for you, Zhang, whether you have something going on or not, it's best if you don't come again."

  After finishing speaking, he turned around and left.

  "Yun Song, let's go back." Su Dong Cui gazed at Su Xiao Fan's receding figure with some regret. If Yun Song had married her, it would have been great. It was indeed as people said: only after losing someone do you realize how good they were.

  Xiao Yimò furrowed his brow and watched as the three people left, before relaxing and walking to Su Xiaofan's side to ask: "What is he planning?"

  Su Xiaofan picked up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, turned around: "What idea can there be?"

  "I always feel that his expression is a bit strange, is there something unspoken secret between you two?" Xiao Yimeng narrowed her eyes slightly, if there was no secret, why would she have been so restless and sleepless last night.
