Chapter 65: News Arrives

Seeing this scene, Chen Xin shook her head and smiled. Indeed, she didn’t give the wrong gift. The way men here care about their appearance is just like modern women. Chen Xin found it quite cute.

Turning around and sitting down, she held Fang Ziyu’s hand, playing with his fair and delicate hand for a while, then kissed it lightly. “Xiao Yu’er, these are all for you. But I wonder if you like them or not?”

Fang Ziyu’s face turned slightly red from her actions. “I like whatever you give me, Xin.”

Chen Xin chuckled lightly. “I chose the white peony flowers because they resemble you the most.”

“Why white peonies?” Fang Ziyu leaned against Chen Xin’s shoulder and asked.

Chen Xin hugged him and put him on her lap. During this time, she had been busy, and hadn’t had much time to sit quietly with him like this. “The peony flower symbolizes purity, elegance, gracefulness, beauty, and fidelity. It’s just like you.”

Continuing, she said, “In the courtyard, peonies enchant without rivals, while lotuses in the pond lack a touch of sentiment. Only peonies truly represent the nation’s beauty, and when they bloom, they shake the capital. This is how a poet from my hometown describes peonies. It shows that peonies are the king of flowers in people’s hearts.”

Opening the bottle, Chen Xin dripped a small drop on his wrist and behind his ear, whispering softly, “Most importantly, under the peony flowers, even death is romantic.”

Originally, Fang Ziyu was very happy to hear her praise, as what man wouldn’t like to be praised by someone they like? But he didn’t expect peonies to have so many meanings.

However, the last sentence was too explicit and cheesy. With the feeling of her touch still lingering on his ear, Fang Ziyu’s cheeks suddenly turned red, and he leaned softly into her arms. “Xin.”

Seeing this, Chen Xin didn’t tease him anymore. In the end, both of them felt uncomfortable.

“Xiao Yu’er, are you looking forward to going back to Linjia Village later?”

Fang Ziyu nodded. “Yes, I am. Xin said she will give me a unique home.”

Speaking of home, the hearts of both of them were warm. That was their home.

“Bang Bang—”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Chen Xin put down Fang Ziyu and went to open the door. To her surprise, it was Ling Shu, who hadn’t received any news for half a month and looked disheveled. Could it be…

“Xiao Yu’er, I’ll be out for a while.”

After closing the door, Chen Xin walked a few steps towards the end of the alley, with Ling Shu following. She stopped and asked, “Where have you been?”

Ling Shu shook her body with some disdain, glanced around cautiously, and whispered, “Mistress, I went out of Qusi City, and I found a clue about what you ordered.”

Pausing for a moment, she whispered even softer, “It’s on Litang Mountain outside Qusi City, but I don’t know the specific location.”

Chen Xin pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, “Very well. You go to the restaurant and find the Shopkeeper, Xian. Wash up and have dinner first.”

Ling Shu immediately smiled and nodded. “Okay.”

Chen Xin had mentioned Ling Shu to An Xue, Mrs Lu, and Xian Xiaoxiao before. Even if people hadn’t seen him, his name was familiar.

Standing still for a while, Chen Xin felt somewhat surprised by Ling Shu’s words. Although she believed he could do it, she was still amazed when she actually did it. She truly deserved her talent in gathering intelligence.

Then, a sinister smile crossed her lips. Litang Mountain? She was looking forward to it.

After having lunch, Chen Xin and Fang Ziyu set off on the road back to Linjia Village, with Chao Feng as proud as ever.

Seeing Chen Xin casually ask, “Chao Feng, don’t you think it’s time for you to settle down?”

Chao Feng immediately rolled its eyes, proudly shaking its head, meaning clearly that it was not interested in settling down.

It was of noble bloodline, not just any horse could become its partner, otherwise, the running ability of the descendants would be nothing but a name.
