645 Sending Off
Su Xiaolu had just turned around when her hand was grabbed. She was stunned.
Zhou Zhi’s hand was a little cold. His hand was so long and his joints were very textured. Zhou Zhi was good-looking. Su Xiaolu felt Zhou Zhi’s hand and felt that even without this skin, he would still be a very beautiful skeleton.
“Xiaolu, this is for you. These are seeds. If you encounter danger, plant them with your water ability. This is better than branches.”
Zhou Zhi handed a sachet to Su Xiaolu. He took Su Xiaolu’s hand and placed the sachet in her palm.
Su Xiaolu took the sachet and nodded subconsciously. “Okay, thank you, Fourth Brother.”
This was a good thing.
Zhou Zhi’s wood mark could even bear seeds?
Su Xiaolu scratched her head in embarrassment. “I didn’t know that you could do this. I don’t think my ability can.”
Zhou Zhi smiled gently and said softly, “Not every ability is the same. The deeper you comprehend these abilities, the more you can use them. Xiaolu, you can try it later.”
“Yes, thank you, Fourth Brother.”
Su Xiaolu felt that Zhou Zhi was really good. He had told her all his insights.
Zhou Zhi took out a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Su Xiaolu. “Here, Xiaolu. Happy New Year.”
Su Xiaolu accepted the flowers. The fragrance of the flowers was clear and especially pleasant. She was in a good mood and the little bad emotions in her heart had been dispersed.
She smiled and said goodbye to Zhou Zhi.
After sending Su Xiaolu off, Zhou Zhi heaved a sigh of relief.
The flowers that had bloomed disappeared one after another, leaving behind only green vines and thorns.
He returned to the table and took out the book. With a sigh, he flipped it open and saw that it was the 370th chapter—
It was the book about the Immortal Supremacy his wife with amnesia that Su Xiaolu had once read. This was the first draft, and there were still edits he had to make. Of course, he could not show it to Su Xiaolu.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the news of Yan Qingyun’s death spread. At the same time, Yan Zhiyuan, Yan Yuran, and Yan Yuanan were banished from the capital.
The reason for this was not widely spread. In fact, many people did not know the real reason.
The Yan family was expelled from the capital as quickly as possible.
Yan Qingyun’s funeral was also done very quickly. He was buried in a hurry, leaving too little time for the Yan family.
They were innocent. When the entire family left the capital, they were searched by the imperial guards several times to ensure that they did not take anything valuable with them.
After leaving the capital, Yan Zhiyuan seemed to have aged ten years. In just two days, he had grown a lot of white hair. He did not even know if he could bring his family back to the Yan family’s ancestral home.
Seeing Madam Zhao from afar, Yan Zhiyuan felt a little ashamed. He moved his lips and wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say. He could not even find a suitable way to address Madam Zhao.
He wasn’t worthy of calling her ‘sister’.
Madam Zhao’s expression was calm as she quietly handed something to Yan Zhiyuan. She said calmly, “Take this. Father has already passed away. I’ll return this to you. It should be what he wants. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”
“Take care.”
Madam Zhao looked at the unfamiliar and uneasy faces not far away and did not say anything else. She turned around and moved aside.
When the family assets were settled, Yan Zhiyuan knew that Madam Zhao would return as much as Yan Qingyun gave her. It had always been like this. There was nothing less and nothing more.
“Thank you.”
Yan Zhiyuan’s voice was hoarse. He did not understand Madam Zhao. Speaking of which, Madam Zhao was the one who should hate Yan Qingyun the most. Yan Qingyun had never had any fatherly love for her.
Madam Zhao’s heart was too soft. Yan Zhiyuan wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and could not say a word. He was not worthy. Even a despicable person like him needed this sum of money.
He and Madam Zhao would never meet again.
Looking at Madam Zhao’s figure, Yan Zhiyuan took two steps forward and shouted, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Su. I’m sorry. I didn’t have manners that day and contradicted you. I apologize to you here.”
Yan Zhiyuan held the things Madam Zhao gave him tightly and knelt down.
Madam Zhao stopped in her tracks and did not turn around. She took a deep breath and walked firmly towards the pavilion. That was where her confidence was. Her support was waiting for her.
Yan Zhiyuan did not delay any further and left quickly with his family.
Su Sanlang patted the back of Madam Zhao’s hand and said gently, “Darling, let’s go home too.”
Madam Zhao nodded and sighed. “Sanlang, am I too spineless?”
Su Sanlang shook his head. “No, that’s different. Although Yan Zhiyuan won’t know if you don’t say it, it’s not ours after all. You’ll feel uneasy if we keep it. If we give it away, we won’t have any burden in the future. After all, we probably won’t see him again in this life. Why bother yourself for nothing? If I were you, I’d return it to him too.”
Madam Zhao gave Yan Zhiyuan 100 taels of silver. It was not much. Madam Zhao found it when she opened a gift from Yan Qingyun. The 100 taels of silver was sandwiched in the gift.
They had also returned the corresponding items. This 100 taels was the extra.
Yan Qingyun had already gone, so it didn’t matter if they returned it or not. However, after much consideration, Su Sanlang still convinced Madam Zhao to give the hundred taels to Yan Zhiyuan. Since Yan Qingyun was no longer around, she would give it to Yan Zhiyuan.
“Sigh…”
Madam Zhao sighed and returned to the city hand in hand with Su Sanlang.
“We have to work hard this year. He Hai said that we have to try our best to make imperial dishes this year. We should try to succeed in one go.”
Su Sanlang cleverly changed the subject.
Madam Zhao smiled. “Didn’t we enter the capital for the imperial dishes back then? Sister-in-law has been waiting for this day for a long time. She even said that when the imperial dishes are announced, she can relax and go see Daniu and Erniu.”
“If we succeed, we should relax. We’re also grandparents now, so we can take the time to help Chong. In another two years, Hua will be a father too. We still have work to do.”
Su Sanlang revealed a gentle smile. He and Madam Zhao were both in good health. Although they did not feel the strange power the children were talking about, as ordinary people, their bodies were outstanding. They could not help the children much, so they would help them in small matters.
Madam Zhao smiled and nodded. “That’s great.”
“Yes.” Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand tightly.
It was great that they had accompanied each other for another year.
On the night of the Lantern Festival, Su Xiaolu entered the palace and gave Su Xiaoling something. Su Xiaoling was pregnant with two children and was in good spirits. The children were also healthy. Hearing Su Xiaolu’s advice, Su Xiaoling chuckled. “Xiaolu, don’t worry. I’ll be fine. I’m the second disciple of Minggu after all. I won’t embarrass our Minggu Sect. Although I’ve never given birth, I know a lot. Sister-in-law Huilan has also taught me a lot. I know what to do.”
