The stay in Nanzhao only lasted a few days, yet it stirred up much trouble. Whether it was Lu Zhao, Shen Qingyao, or Shen Yushu, none of them wanted to stay any longer. After Shen Qingyao recuperated for two or three days, and Kong Lin nodded in assurance that she was fine, everyone decided to set off back to Great Liang.

Due to Shen Qingyao's health, Kong Lin and Tu Lan were asked by Lu Zhao to accompany them on their return to Lingnan. Rebuilding the mountain stronghold after the disaster would take some time anyway, so neither of them objected. As soon as Lu Zhao proposed it, they quickly agreed.

However, Shen Qingyao noticed that her Eldest Brother had been acting unusually of late. Whenever Tu Lan accompanied Kong Lin to check on her condition, he became particularly attentive, speaking more and often glancing towards Tu Lan. While Tu Lan seemed oblivious, Shen Qingyao couldn't help but widen her eyes in disbelief.

Watching Shen Yushu enter her room again, Shen Qingyao turned her head away with a smile. Quietly in her heart, she whispered to the system in her mind, "Look at him, look at him! With that look in his eyes, he must like Tu Lan! Tsk tsk, young men can't hide their feelings! Looks like I'll have a sister-in-law soon!"

She was delighted. Honestly, she really liked Tu Lan.

After the previous incident, the system had crashed for a long time. It was only later that it timidly approached Shen Qingyao again, carefully explaining that they actually didn't know she had transmigrated once before, but her compatibility had pulled her into the storyline.

Although this happening was absurd, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Shen Qingyao was supposed to return to her own body naturally several years later, but now she could prevent Lu Zhao from turning evil, which was a good thing.

Seeing that Shen Qingyao didn't blame it, the system finally relaxed and began days of gossiping and banter with her again. At this moment, the system suddenly exclaimed cautiously, [Is it possible? Tu Lan is a girl from Nanzhao and even came from a bandit's den. Will your parents approve?]

Shen Qingyao was taken aback for a moment and hesitated, "They should approve, right? Aren't my parents the most open-minded in the capital?"

As they spoke, Shen Yushu clumsily approached Tu Lan, who was tidying the medicine box, wanting to help but clumsily knocked over the silver needles that Tu Lan had just put away.

Tu Lan : = =

Shen Yushu : -0-!

Shen Qingyao : ...

Shen Qingyao couldn't bear to look straight at them, turned her head away, wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead, sighed, and said, "Forget it. Instead of worrying about our parents, let's get my straight-man Eldest Brother to successfully pursue her first... right..."

Since Tu Lan didn't poke Shen Yushu with a needle, she was already showing her good temper.

Just as Shen Qingyao and the system were watching the drama, Lu Zhao returned. Seeing that Shen Qingyao looked well, he also smiled, naturally walking over to sit beside her. Lu Zhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Shen Qingyao smiled mysteriously, mimicking his expression by raising her eyebrows, gesturing for him to look at Shen Yushu who was following behind Kong Lin and Tu Lan as they left. She pursed her lips and sighed, saying, "After meeting Tu Lan, my elder brother didn't even bother to say goodbye to me when he left! Tsk! He's forgotten his sister because of the beauty!"

"Ha." Lu Zhao was amused by the phrase 'forgotten his sister because of the beauty' and chuckled, reaching out to rub the little girl's head affectionately, saying gently, "Everything's almost ready. We'll set off for Lingnan tomorrow."
