Madam Lian smiled, and so did Madam Zhao. It was best if they liked each other.
If they liked each other, there would be a good start and they would be able to perfect their future relationship.
As for Su Xiaoling, Su Xiaolu, Madam Zhao, and Madam Lian, they tacitly did not talk about it.
Madam Zhao also felt very comfortable that Madam Lian did not mention it. This was how it was to deal with smart people. There were some things that did not need to be said.
Madam Lian and Madam Zhao chatted very happily. After sending Madam Zhao off, Madam Lian smiled and went to Sun Baoqian’s courtyard. Her daughter was already a big girl. With a good candidate and a good family, it was time to prepare the dowry.!!
As Madam Lian thought about this, she could not stop smiling. Anyone who saw her would know that she was in a good mood.
Sun Baoqian was training her body. These movements were taught by Su Xiaolu. They were very slow, but the entire set would make people sweat. She could achieve the effect of training her body without moving.
Seeing Madam Lian, Sun Baoqian stopped moving and adjusted her breathing.
Madam Lian waited quietly and dismissed the maidservants. After Sun Baoqian adjusted her breathing, Madam Lian said, “Qian, mother wants to tell you something.”
Sun Baoqian’s breathing stabilized. She said, “Mother, what is it?”
Madam Lian’s gaze was gentle. She took a handkerchief and wiped Sun Baoqian’s sweat as she said, “Qian, the Su family has replied to me. She said that Su Hua is interested in you. If you’re willing, the two of you can get married.”
“This… I’ll listen to mother’s arrangements.”
Sun Baoqian blushed and said shyly.
She had always liked Su Hua more. Now that she knew that Su Hua was also interested in her, how could she not be shy?
Sun Baoqian could not help but think that the heavens really favored her.
When she was young, her health was extremely poor. When her body was about to run out of gas, the heavens arranged for her to meet Su Xiaolu.
Now that she had grown up and it was time to talk about marriage, the heavens had arranged for Su Hua to be with her. Fate was what she wanted. Just thinking about it warmed her heart.
Madam Lian looked at Sun Baoqian’s girlish expression and sighed with a gentle smile. “Then I’ll help you make the decision. This marriage is arranged by the heavens. You and Su Hua will definitely live very happily.”
Marriage was naturally the best arranged by the heavens.
Everything went smoothly. The two families were overjoyed. This was fate.
Sun Baoqian lowered her head shyly. She did not know what would happen in the future, but as she imagined the future, she felt anticipation in her heart.
Madam Lian chatted with Sun Baoqian for a while more before getting up to return to the main courtyard.
Just as she left Sun Baoqian’s courtyard, she saw Sun Baoshan pacing back and forth outside. Looking at her son, Madam Lian walked over with a smile.
When Sun Baoshan saw Madam Lian, he called her.
Madam Lian nodded. “Shan, do you have something to say to me?”
Sun Baoshan nodded solemnly. “Yes, I have something to tell you, mother.”
Madam Lian and Sun Baoshan went to Sun Baoshan’s courtyard together. Ever since the siblings got better, they had not stayed in the same courtyard.
The two courtyards were adjacent.
After entering the courtyard and returning to his room, Sun Baoshan said, “Mother, I know you’ve been worried about our marriages recently. What I want to say is that I like Su Xiaolu. Can you help me tell her?”
Sun Baoshan knew that Madam Lian had been worried about this recently. He was worried that Madam Lian was interested in Su Xiaoling. It was fine if Su Xiaoling was two years older than him, but the problem was that he liked Su Xiaolu more.
Although Su Xiaolu was not old enough to talk about marriage, he could wait for her.
He had liked Su Xiaolu since he was young. He liked her as she was energetic, strong, and cute.
If he could marry her, he felt that he would be extremely happy for the rest of his life.
Madam Lian looked at Sun Baoshan’s sincere expression. After a while, she said, “My son, I really didn’t expect you to like Xiaolu.”
Sun Baoshan looked at Madam Lian in embarrassment and said firmly, “Mother, I really like Xiaolu. Her body seems to glow. I feel happy when I see her and want to be with her, but I’m afraid that she won’t like me.”
Sun Baoshan felt a little depressed as he thought about it. His body had recovered, but it was impossible for him to practice martial arts. As for Su Xiaolu, she was skilled in martial arts. She could be free and unrestrained. He felt that she probably liked martial artists who were skilled in martial arts.
Every time he thought about it, he would feel very down.
What kind of person could stand beside her? Sun Baoshan hoped it was him.
Madam Lian sighed and said, “Shan, I actually didn’t know that you’ve been infatuated for a long time. Forget it, even if it can’t work, I’ll help you tell her. I hope you won’t have any regrets.”
“Thank you, mother. I’ll work hard too.”
Sun Baoshan nodded heavily. Of course, he had to work hard. If he couldn’t fight, he would work hard to study.
He had many opportunities to meet Su Xiaolu. They were considered childhood friends. When it was time for Su Xiaolu to talk about marriage in the future, she might like him.
Madam Lian looked at Sun Baoshan’s infatuated expression and felt something. She could not help but pray for Sun Baoshan. If only they were really fated.
Su Xiaolu was agile and charming. Her medical skills were superb. Madam Lian could not ask for more than such a daughter-in-law.
Su Xiaolu was still young, so she was not in a hurry. It was fine as long as she knew Sun Baoshan’s intentions. When Sun Baoqian and Su Hua’s marriage was decided, she would find an opportunity to test Madam Zhao’s intentions later.

When Madam Zhao returned to the shop, she nodded slightly at Su Sanlang. Madam Qian was also helping in the shop and smiled when she saw this.
After the sauerkraut and pickles were sold out, Madam Qian asked, “Brother, Sister-in-law, tell me quickly.”
Madam Zhao smiled and told Madam Qian what had happened.
Madam Qian smiled. “That’s great.”
Thinking of Su Chong, Madam Zhao was a little worried. “Chong actually has someone he likes. I wonder which girl it is.”
Madam Qian was also curious. “I’m also curious about whose daughter she is.”
This was because after thinking about it, she couldn’t think of anyone. Su Chong and Su Hua prioritized their studies. They were either at home or in school every day. Who could it be?
Su Sanlang said, “After we settle Hua’s matter, we’ll ask him properly later. Although our family isn’t rich, we’re not bad. Chong is not bad himself. We’ll ask a matchmaker when the time comes.”
Su Sanlang felt that Su Chong still had a good chance, so he was not worried.
Su Hua’s marriage was settled. It was Su Xiaoling now.
However, there was no hurry. There was no hurry for good things.
After the two families communicated, Madam Lian obtained Su Hua’s eight characters and started to ask the master to match them.
On the 12th of November, Chen Daniu and Chen Erniu came to visit. They and Su Xiaoling were busy chatting in the kitchen, while Su Xiaolu was practicing her sword in the courtyard. When she heard soft voices coming from the kitchen, she took a few more glances.
And so… she concentrated on listening again.
In the kitchen, Chen Erniu said, “Xiaoling, I have good news for you. Recently, Old Master Su and the others have contracted a strange illness and have abscesses on their bodies. Many doctors can’t treat them and say that they’re not sick. The villagers all say that this is retribution.”
