206 Sister’s Contribution

Su Fengzhi was stunned when he heard that. He even suspected he had misheard Lin Zheng’s words as he looked at Lin Zheng in a daze.

“W-What did you say, young man?”

Zhu Liang relied on his culinary skills to impress the crown prince and cooked in the imperial kitchen. The sudden loss in his taste meant he could no longer do that.

Lin Zheng said smilingly, “Zhu Liang is mute and has lost his sense of taste. Also, there are no cures for his condition.”

He knew his master was a protective person and that Su Binglan had done that to Zhu Liang to avenge her third uncle. He discovered who Su Binglan was avenging when Su Binglan called Su Fengzhi “uncle.”

Lin Zheng’s master had done something for her family and did not say anything, so Lin Zheng told them for her. Moreover, what happened to Zhu Liang was good, and Lin Zheng wanted everyone to feel happy.

Su Fengzhi knew he had heard correctly when Lin Zheng repeated himself. He did not even turn the lamb skewers and looked at Lin Zheng blankly. “Zhu Liang is mute and has lost his sense of taste?”

Su Wenchi said excitedly, “That means my father won’t have to take revenge. Someone must’ve dealt with Zhu Liang for us since he’s done countless evil deeds. Father, I’m happy that something like that has happened to your enemy.

“It wouldn’t be much of a punishment if he just died. Now he knows how you felt in the past, Father. Still, you could speak, but he can’t.”

Su Wenchi could not be happier as he even danced around. Of course, Su Fengzhi was also excited. He would feel pain whenever he thought of what Zhu Liang did to him in the past.

Su Fengzhi said, “I’m thrilled to hear that. It’s such a good day today. You guys have returned and given me such good news.”

Su Binglan saw how happy her third uncle was and knew he was relieved of his burdens. In the future, her third uncle could earn money and live a good life with his family.

After talking for a while, Su Binglan prepared to return to the village with Su Wenxiu. She wanted to go to Blue Mountain Academy to see Luo Jin’an, but after some thought, she knew she would see him later that night. Instead, she went home to prepare a reunion dinner.



Su Binglan wanted to sell the two horses she had bought but had grown attached to them along her journey, so she brought them home. She could afford to raise the two horses now that her family was well-off.

It would be convenient to ride the horses for errands in the future. Moreover, their new house was almost complete, so there would be space to keep them. The cow and donkey they had could also roam free.

When Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu left, Su Fengzhi returned to his senses. “Did Binglan avenge me?”

Lin Zheng did not follow his master and Su Wenxiu back to the village and continued eating lamb skewers. He heard Su Fengzhi’s words and said, “Third Master Su, my master was indeed the one who avenged you.”

Su Fengzhi heard Lin Zheng calling his niece “master” just now, so he knew who Lin Zheng was talking about. Indeed, Su Binglan had helped avenge him.

Su Fengzhi was touched. “Then why didn’t Binglan say anything?”

Su Wenchi said, “I just know how capable Cousin Binglan is, especially how she avenged you like that. Father, now you won’t feel so burdened anymore.”

Indeed, Su Fengzhi felt lighter. “The weight that was on my shoulders is gone now. The matters in the capital no longer have anything to do with us, and we can now live good lives.”

“Okay, Father.”



It was already late when Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu arrived at the village. Su Wenxiu also learned how to ride a horse on the way home. The brother and sister duo got off their horses and led them home.

Su Wenxiu let out a long sigh and said, “Little Sister, I used to think that our village isn’t in such a good condition, but I feel a warmth now that I’m looking around. I also feel relaxed whenever I see the sunset.”

He could not describe how happy he was.

Su Binglan smiled as she felt relaxed too.

“It’s always better when you’re with your family, Second Brother. You don’t have to worry. You can study medicine by my side and become a doctor in the future.” Su Binglan knew her second brother wanted to study medicine and that he had a solid foundation.

On their journey back to the village, Su Wenxiu also witnessed his sister’s medical skills because she had healed his injuries. Su Binglan’s healing methods were effective.

She rubbed the medicine she had prepared on Su Wenxiu to heal him quickly. Her medicine was better than any other.

Su Wenxiu also knew about Su Binglan healing their third uncle’s condition. Therefore, he did not doubt his sister’s medical skills. Moreover, he had met people and encountered many things on the way back to the village.

He felt that his sister was a truly capable person and that he could learn many things by staying beside her.

At this moment, many villagers had gone home to cook, and only a few came down from the mountain to go home. They were excited when they saw Su Binglan and Su Wenxiu.

“When did you get back, Binglan?”

“I just got home, Aunt Liu.”

“Binglan, you’re such a capable person. You even brought Wenxiu home. Your parents will be thrilled to see him.” Madam Liu greeted Su Binglan smilingly.

Su Wenxiu felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at the villagers. “Hello, Aunt Liu.”

“You have been gone for a long time, and your parents were worried sick. Thank goodness you and your sister are back now.”



The villagers thought it was strange to see horses in the village, so they could not help but ask, “Were you two riding horses just now?”

Su Binglan replied, “Yes, it’ll be more convenient for us to run errands now.”



“Welcome back, Wenxiu and Binglan.”

“Hello, Aunt Li.”

“That big house your family is building looks beautiful with those red bricks. It’s also north of the village, so you guys should take a look.”



The siblings met two or three villagers on their way home and exchanged a few pleasantries. When Su Binglan heard the villagers mentioning her family’s new house, she became curious about how the building process went.

Her uncle had learned how to make bricks, and judging from the villagers’ expressions, they all liked it very much, mainly because Su Zhengde used red bricks.

Compared to gray stone, the red bricks looked better and were more convenient when building walls.

Su Wenxiu said excitedly, “Big Brother also said we hired Uncle Zhengde to build us a big house, but I don’t know what it looks like.”

He never expected so many changes when he returned home from his travels, but he had heard many things from the others and knew it was all thanks to his little sister.

Su Binglan explained, “The new house will have plenty of space, so we will all have our own rooms and courtyards. When you get married, you and your wife will have your own room and courtyard too.”

Su Wenxiu blushed embarrassedly when his sister mentioned marriage. Even his ears turned red.

Su Binglan knew her second brother was sensitive about marriage, so she changed the subject and said, “Look there. That should be our new house.” She pointed toward a big house not too far away as she spoke.
