“Thirteen accepts, Thirteen is convinced both in heart and by mouth,” Shadow Thirteen’s attitude was very sincere.

He knew he had indeed made a big mistake.

Fortunately, the young madam was unharmed, otherwise, no matter how many times he died, it wouldn’t be enough to atone for his sins.

He also understood that Elder Brother Three was doing this for his own good—a beating could at least make the young master less angry.

Otherwise, he feared he might lose even the chance to stay.

Only then did Shadow Three let out a sigh of relief, thankfully Thirteen wasn’t foolish: “We’ve been training since we were little, you should know the rules of the Shadow Sect, but these past two years, with the young master away, you all seem to have slackened…”

“I won’t dare to do it again,” Shadow Thirteen regretfully said.

“Thirteen needs to apply medicine quickly,” Shadow Seven frowned.

Shadow Three nodded, “I hope you truly remember this.”

Shadow Seven quickly sprinkled the golden sore medicine on Thirteen’s wounds, then took out a cloth strip to wrap them up.

Only then did Shadow Three approach Chai Huan: “Chai Huan, do you admit your mistake?”

Afflicted by Xiaolun’s poison, Chai Huan was completely devoid of strength and struggled to lift her eyes when she heard Shadow Three’s question: “What fault do I have?”

Shadow Three frowned.

“The young master is a dragon among men, and originally the madam had set him to marry Miss Gu.

What right does a village girl like Yang Ruxin have to claim the young master for herself?” Chai Huan seemed to have walked into a dead-end from which she couldn’t escape, “Even if she wanted to be by the young master’s side, she could only be an Aunt at most…” She should even rank lower than herself.

Both Shadow Three and Shadow Seven couldn’t help but sigh.

They hadn’t expected Chai Huan to be so obstinate.

There was nothing they could do, but they couldn’t kill her either.

They could only imprison her here and wait for the young master to return and decide her fate.

Meanwhile, Gu Qingheng, the man everyone was concerned about, was actually on his way back.

However, as he passed through a small town called Batou, he coincidentally arrived during the town’s first market day after the new year, bustling with trade.

There he found an old man selling chili peppers.

However, the few pots of chili peppers on display hardly drew any customers, so by the end of the morning, the old man had sold only one pot, earning a mere ten coins, which probably just covered the cost of the pot itself.

Gu Qingheng was then struck with the idea of recruiting the old man.

If he could bring the old man to Xinxin, then she wouldn’t have to worry about failing to grow chili peppers anymore.

The chili-selling old man, surnamed Ge, had lost his son and daughter-in-law in an accident while they were out working two years prior.

Now, it was just him and his ten-year-old grandson fending for themselves.

Seeing Gu Qingheng, a man who looked like a demigod, Ge Old Man originally thought he was a customer interested in ornamental plants, and was very enthusiastic.

But when Gu Qingheng said he wanted to take him along to cultivate red fruits, the old man’s face turned wary, and he flatly refused.

The old man wasn’t worth much, but his grandson was valuable.

“We’re not going anywhere; this is our home…” The old man held his grandson tight, looking at Gu Qingheng warily, “No matter how much you offer, I refuse to go.”

“Old man, we really have no other intentions,” Gu Yao said somewhat helplessly, “We see that you can grow red fruits, and my sister-in-law wants to grow them too, so…”

“Please leave…” The old man waved them off and then, surprisingly, packed up his stall and left with his grandson.

Gu Yao was speechless; did they look like bad people?

“Follow him,” Gu Qingheng insisted without losing heart, and with Gu Yao, he slowly followed the old man.
