Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Chu Lin returned halfway and brought back a large piece of Soft Fragrant Cake. At the same time, he brought back the ranking of the needlework competition.

Chu Qingxiang was ranked 18th, Chu Qingyu was ranked 130th, Chu Ziluo was ranked 85th, and Liu Jiao was ranked 65th.

This news finally lifted some of the gloom in everyone’s hearts.

After dinner, Madam Zhang and Madam Wang went to clean the dishes.

Liu Cheng decided to look for Wang Chuan and his father again.

Madam Liu did not stop him, knowing that it was useless.

Liu Cheng did not bring anyone else and continued to head to the Wang family’s shop alone.

When he reached the back door, he started knocking on the door. The Chu family saw that Lu Chuan had returned.

The back door creaked open.

Liu Cheng was surprised and stood rooted to the ground.

“Uncle Liu?” When Wang Chuan saw Liu Cheng outside the door, surprise flashed across his eyes. He looked behind him and saw that there was no one there, so he reached out and pulled him in.

“Uncle Liu, are you here to participate in the county government’s female arts competition?”

“I’ve heard this news before. I’m sure Sister Jiao will definitely get good results,” Wang Chuan said as he walked.

Liu Cheng only reacted after a while. He did not hear what he said clearly and

grabbed Wang Chuan’s wrist.

Wang Chuan was shocked, but seeing Liu Cheng’s agitated emotions, he felt a little inexplicable. He had always been a gentle person, so he was not in a hurry. He waited for Liu Cheng’s emotions to stabilize.

“You guys are alright?” Liu Cheng squeezed his wrist happily.

“Uncle Liu?” Wang Chuan looked at him in confusion. What’s wrong? Did something happen?”

“Hahaha, it’s good that you’re fine, it’s good that you’re fine. I told you that you’re lucky. Nothing will happen to you.” Liu Cheng reached out and patted his shoulder. The pent-up anger in his heart was let out. At this moment, he was naturally very happy.

“It’s like this. You told me about your family last time, and I was worried.”

“I came to the county to look for you today, but no one came out after knocking for a long time.”

“I happened to meet my sister and brother-in-law, so I told them about this. Then, Brother Heng sent someone to inquire about your situation. Only then did I know that you left three days ago.”

“I thought that you were…” When Liu Cheng said this, he felt ashamed and glad.

Wang Chuan suddenly understood. Seeing Liu Cheng’s concern for them, the tiredness from the three days of travel disappeared. He quickly explained in a gentle voice, “I’m sorry for making you worry. It’s my fault for not being considerate enough.”

“This long journey was suggested by Father. We were going to look for the uncle we knew before and want him to take over our shop.”

Over here…

Lu Chuan brought back the news of the Wang father and son’s return.

Madam Liu heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she had previously firmly believed that Liu Jiao’s guess might not be credible, she was just afraid. Now, she could finally relax.

Liu Jiao hugged Madam Liu and was extremely happy.

After that, Chu Heng privately instructed Lu Heng to investigate Landlord Wang’s family about this matter.

After that, the sky gradually darkened and he did not delay any longer.

The group of people from the Chu family boarded their own ox cart and mule cart and returned to the village.

After Liu Cheng returned, the Liu family also returned to the village.

Ye Muyu met Old Madam Ye sitting on the ox cart at the city gate.

“Mother, why didn’t you come back after that?” Ye Muyu opened the curtain and called out to Old Woman Ye.

Old Madam Ye heard her voice and jumped down from the ox cart. She put the basket on her back where she was sitting and walked over quickly.. “I can’t be freeloading at your in-laws ‘house, right?”
