Su Binglan did not know how to react to that. However, Su Wenxian did not wait for her response and said, “Some even say you’re a fairy that descended from the heavens, while others say you’re a gourmet goddess because of the delicious food you make.
“Oh, I heard people saying our water tastes better and asked if we have a deity we pay respects to. Many people visit here to pay their respects, saying there’s an immortal among us.”
He breathed and continued, “Also, there’s a huge locust tree at our village’s entrance, right? Someone even tied a red ribbon and said he wanted to pray to it. ”
After hearing about the tree, Su Binglan remembered it was pretty old. Even several people could not lift it if they tried.
‘Typically, trees of that age can also have spiritual energy,’ Su Binglan thought
about that tree, ‘If more people come to worship it, this area will become livelier and develop better.’
Even so, she was in a hurry to deal with crucial matters. She said, “Those are only rumors. I’m only human, you know? 1 only know a little more because I enjoy reading books and studying food. It’s nothing special.”
Although she had said so, Su Wenxian was still suspicious. He felt Su Binglan was amazing and was proud that she was his younger cousin. Everyone’s attitude toward him immediately changed whenever he called Su Binglan his younger cousin.
After giving Su Wenxian some instructions, she headed to the embroidery shop. However, she saw Tao Dayong the moment she stepped outside the door. He was driving an oxcart to deliver wine jars and bottles.
Now that the wine sales were on the right track, the bottles and jars were in high demand, too. Fortunately, the Taos had hired workers. If not, they could not keep up with production.
Tao Dayong would visit the village every two to three days to deliver goods. Initially, he had arranged for his workers to deliver them, but he took over because he wanted to see Shi Fang at the embroidery shop.
Shi Fang lived quite a distance away from Stone Village and Willow Village, so meeting each other on regular days was inconvenient for the young couple. Therefore, Tao Dayong would visit her whenever he delivered goods to the winery.
The couple typically met during their lunch break and did not use up their working hours.
Su Binglan looked at him and knew he was different from the Tao Dayong she had seen in the past. He was always smiling and looked energetic. He was also very clean and did not look like an average villager.
When he saw Su Binglan, he respectfully greeted her, “Hello, Miss Su!”
Su Binglan nodded as she looked at the wine jars and bottles on the oxcart. She said smilingly, “Those keep looking better every time I see them.”
“It’s all because of your guidance, Miss Su.” Tao Dayong was genuinely grateful to her. He knew he would not have reunited with Shi Fang if it were not for Su binglan.
He did not even know Shi Fang was the girl he had saved as a kid. Shi Fang also had no way of knowing his name back then. Tao Dayongs heart ached when he thought of it.
Fortunately, the young couple had reunited and were engaged. With Shi Fang by his side and his career, Tao Dayong felt his days were fulfilling.
Su Binglan looked at his honest appearance and teased him, “I heard you got engaged to Shi Fang from the embroidery shop.”
Tao Dayong rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, “How did you hear about that. Miss Su?”
“Of course, I’d find out. You’re doing well, Dayong. Shi Fang is a good match for you, so I hope you two live well.” Su Binglan was delighted to see everyone improve. It made her think she had done meaningful things.
“Yes! Thank you, Miss Su.” Tao Dayong nodded thoughtfully.
Su Binglan said, “I’m heading to the embroidery shop to check on things. Why don’t you come with me? I’ll call Shi Fang out so you can meet her.”
Tao Dayong was stunned when he heard Su Binglan’s words. When he returned to his senses, this face had already turned red. “B-But what about these jars and bottles?”
Su Binglan went into the winery to call Su Wenxian and told him to get some workers to collect the goods. Soon after, she brought Tao Dayong to the embroidery shop.
She got him to wait outside while she went in to call Shi Fang over. Shi Fang was working hard when Su Binglan suddenly called her over. However, Shi
Fang was nervous and worried she had done something nxong. “Y-Yes, Miss Su?”
Although Shi Fang was older than Su Binglan by a year, she still felt restrained and nervous when facing Su Binglan. The latter looked at her and said gently, “Don’t be nervous. Go and see who’s outside.”
Shi Fang subconsciously listened to Su Binglan’s instructions. Her eyes lit up, and she could not help but smile when she went out and saw Tao Dayong.
Tao Dayong looked at Shi Fang and smiled. Even though the two did not speak, Su Binglan could sense their feelings for each other. Her mood brightened when she saw the couple like this.
Furthermore, she thought of Luo Jin’an when she saw how lovingly Tao Dayong and Shi Fang gazed at each other. Su Binglan wondered how her husband was doing and felt a little worried.
However, she could not determine his location, nor did she know where he was. It was bizarre. Even so, she had asked Blue Mountain Academy’s Attendant, Lin, to call Mr. Kong back.
Since Su Binglan once lived as Lan Ruobing, she knew Attendant Lin was Mr. Kongs subordinate. When Mr. Kong returned, Su Binglan could find out where Luo Jin’an was.
After discussing business with Ding Wan, Su Binglan rode to the county. It was already evening when she arrived in town. Then she led her horse and stopped before Meng Ce l s door.
She knew her brother was there because she could sense the Shadow Guards’ presence. Since she had trained them personally, she could feel a trace of fluctuation in their aura.
She knew Lan Ruozhu must have brought most of the top-tier Shadow Guards with him. Hence, ordinary people could not meet him so casually.
Lan Ruozhu had already ordered his subordinates to gather as much information as possible about Su Binglan. He also knew she was Wei Jin’an’s wife, even though Wei Jin’an did not tell him.
However, Lan Ruozhu also guessed that Wei Jin’an had hidden that information because his physical condition was too severe back then. If Wei Jin’an had told Lan Ruozhu about Su Binglan and her capabilities, he would have been eager to see her.
Although Wei Jin’an had become Luo Jin’an, they were the same person. After all, he knew people would hunt him down if he did not change his identity.
Meanwhile, Lan Ruozhu always suspected that Su Binglan was his sister. What further reinforced his suspicions was that he had been dreaming about his twin sister for the past few days. He saw her still alive and well before him..
