Chapter 601 New Year (Part 2)
After Su Yanyu finished speaking, the Liu family looked at him in unison.
Liu Erlang reacted first. “No way, it can’t be true.”
Madam Liu said, “Yanyu, you must have swallowed the copper coin. This dumpling is made of prawn, fish meat, and pork. There are no bones.”
Su Yanyu was stunned.
Did… did he actually swallow it?
Just sometime back, he found it impossible that Liu Erlang could swallow the copper coin last year.
But now, he swallowed the copper coin himself.
Liu Erlang couldn’t help but laugh. “Hahaha, Su, you’re really interesting.”
At that moment, everyone burst into laughter.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, Mr. Liu was drunk.
Liu Erlang, Liu Dalang, and Su Yanyu were also drunk. They sat by the fire in the courtyard, drinking tea to sober up.
Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan went to the street. It was brightly lit and there were stalls selling all kinds of festive things.
Liu Sanniang’s face was red and her mind was in a mess. She couldn’t help but think that many years later, when she and Chu Yan were old, they would still walk on the street hand in hand.
At that time, they might already have children. They would probably have children. The children would grow up and they might have grandchildren.
As they walked, Chu Yan suddenly pulled Liu Sanniang into a corner. This small place was a blind spot.
Chu Yan hugged Liu Sanniang’s waist and let her lean against his chest.
Liu Sanniang’s mind went blank. In her ears, there was the sound of a beating heart, and she felt her face begin to heat up.
“Sanniang.”
Chu Yan’s voice was low as he called Liu Sanniang’s name.
Liu Sanniang felt a dangerous aura and panicked.
Chu Yan wrapped her in his arms and gently grabbed Liu Sanniang’s waist to raise her up. He forced Liu Sanniang to reach out and hug his neck so that he could kiss her.
Liu Sanniang begged softly. “Chu Yan, let go of me, can you?”
Her soft and low voice seemed to have lit a fire on Chu Yan. He swallowed and gently bit her fair neck. “Sanniang, grow up quickly.”
Chu Yan took a deep breath. This was simply killing him. He put down Liu Sanniang and held her hand.
After sending Liu Sanniang back, Chu Yan asked. “Are you ready? We’re going back to the capital.”
Liu Sanniang was stunned. Two men in black walked out of the darkness and said respectfully to Liu Sanniang, “Miss Liu, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict.”
Liu Sanniang immediately understood what Chu Yan meant.
She smiled and said to Chu Yan, “I’m always ready.”
Chu Yan smiled and turned to leave.
Liu Sanniang’s expression returned to normal. “Come in and talk.”
Looking at the man in black, Mr. Liu and Madam Liu understood that something was up.
After the two men in black entered the room, Liu Sanniang closed the door.
The man in black took out a yellow imperial edict and handed it to Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, His Majesty has instructed me to give you this.”
Liu Sanniang took it and opened it. After reading it calmly, she said, “I understand. Go back and report that I’ll return to the capital soon.”
“Okay.”
The two men in black turned around and left. They were secret guards who came to deliver the imperial edict. When they finished their mission, they had to rush back to the capital to report.
Seeing the two men in black come out, Liu Erlang smiled and asked. “Brothers, do you want a bite of food?”
The two men in black stopped in their tracks. One of them replied. “No, thank you.”
They left quickly.
Su Yanyu said, “They are secret guards. They are probably on a mission and don’t have time to eat.”
This was the first time Liu Erlang saw a secret guard. He said, “They’re indeed skilled. They can even walk without making the slightest sound.”
When Liu Sanniang came out, Madam Liu and Mr. Liu already knew what Liu Sanniang was about to say.
Although Liu Sanniang had been home for more than a month, she still had to go back to the capital. Madam Liu was worried.
Liu Sanniang sat down beside Madam Liu and gently leaned against her, feeling the inexhaustible love for her from Madam Liu.
Su Yanyu took out the gifts. He gave presents to everyone in the Liu family, which had cost him more than a thousand taels.
After accepting the gift, Madam Liu instructed Liu Sanniang. “Sanniang, as his shifu, you have to guide him well.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “Mother, I will.”
Su Yanyu smiled. “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely learn diligently. I’m serious about becoming Miss Liu’s disciple. With me around, she will be safe in the capital.”
Madam Liu nodded. They were far away in Yong County and could not help with anything. They could only take good care of themselves and not let Liu Sanniang worry about them.
That night, no one slept. It was as if they had endless things to say, but none of them really said anything.
Dawn came very quickly. Madam Liu began to pack Liu Sanniang’s luggage. Chu Yan had already driven the carriage over. Madam Liu looked at Chu Yan and was a little puzzled. How did Chu Yan know that her daughter was leaving?
However, she did not think too much about it. Perhaps the two men in black had told him.
Madam Liu watched as Liu Sanniang got into the carriage. She touched General Black’s head and instructed. “General Black, you have to protect Sanniang well. You’re the best. I believe you have the ability.”
General Black rubbed against Madam Liu’s palm, conveying that he understood everything.
Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu each left something behind. With their thing in the Liu family, they could flash back from a thousand miles away if there was any danger.
What Liu Yuanyuan left behind was snake skin. What Hu Yu left behind was a sharp claw. Of course, the Liu family did not know about any of it.
