The Three Spirit Stones

Chapter 111 Good Best Friends

When Sun Yuechan received Cheng Yu's handwritten letter, she was stunned for a moment.

The letter was sent from Li Taishou of Xiongzhou.

She knew that he was going to find the Red Lotus Saint.

Ah Cai suffers from a serious illness, and Cheng Yu has been trying to save her.

Sun Yuechan and Acai have a very good relationship. Whenever she thinks that this lovely guy will leave her forever one day, she feels very sad.

A few months ago, she was very happy when she learned that there was a way to save Ah Cai, but she never thought that this person was Yelu Yuan.

In the letter, Cheng Yu said that he and Yelu Yuan would set off for Bian Jing immediately after their wedding, and asked Sun Yuechan to arrange a courtyard for her to live in the Marquis' Mansion first, and when he returned home, he would find a piece of land nearby to build a princess' mansion for her.

After reading the letter, Sun Yuechan threw it on the table in anger, thinking angrily, this bastard said before he went to Yanjing that he would consummate his marriage with me when he came back, but he went to consummate his marriage with someone else.

Do you want me to arrange accommodation for her?

Do we still need to find a piece of land to build a princess’ mansion?

I'll arrange a ghost for you!

But even though she thought this way, she was still very rational.

No matter how unhappy she was with Yelu Yuan, she was still a princess of the Liao Kingdom. She had to maintain acceptable etiquette and not give herself up to criticism. Besides, she was able to save Acai, so she had to be treated well just for that reason.

She had a large courtyard called "Tingya Pavilion" to the west of the mansion cleaned up, bought some high-end home furnishings, made more than a dozen new quilts, repaired the old curtains on the doors and windows, placed flowers and trees in the courtyard, and arranged some maids and servants.

The yard suddenly looked clean, tidy and elegant.

Yelu Yuan followed Cheng Yu and rushed back to Bian Jing day and night, leaving other matters to Qin Gu to arrange and handle.

Along the way, Cheng Yu didn't take good care of Yelu Yuan, because she could do everything.

He hunted the game, and she was responsible for chopping wood, preparing the game, and making a fire for the barbecue.

Women in ancient times were virtuous!

A woman of noble birth like Yelu Yuan would consciously take on the responsibility of taking care of her husband once she got married.

For example, after roasting the prey, he would give it to Cheng Yu first, give him a towel to wash his hands and face, help him pack his clothes, etc.

Compared with Cheng Acai who had everything handed to her, she treated Cheng Yu like a boss.

Ten days later, the two finally returned to Bianjing. Madam Cheng and Sun Yuechan had already been waiting in the mansion. Madam Cheng was very happy to see her son back.

This was the first time she had met Yelu Yuan. This princess of the Liao Kingdom was one in a million in terms of both figure and appearance. She was polite and graceful, and standing together with her son, they were a perfect match.

Mrs. Cheng appears to be warm and considerate on the surface, but she is very worried in her heart. What should Yuechan do now that her son has married such an outstanding woman?

I heard that this Liao princess was a very powerful person.

And there's that silly Ah Cai, who has no scheming at all. How is she going to get along with the princess in the future?

Just when Mrs. Cheng was feeling uneasy, the silly Ah Cai came back. Her loud voice could be heard from afar.

"Husband, husband..."

When Cheng Yu heard her voice, he was immediately excited. He walked out quickly and saw the woman he had been thinking about day and night running towards him.

He rushed forward and hugged her in his arms, and the emptiness in his heart these days was immediately filled.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

He kissed Ah Cai's face several times, held her face and rubbed her forehead affectionately, then sighed contentedly and said, "Baby, did you miss me?"

"think,"

"Are you good or not?"

"good,"

"Did you get into trouble?"

"No,"

"Really not?"

"Really not, if you don't believe me, ask Lu Wuchen,"

Ah Cai pointed to the back and said, Cheng Yu looked over and saw Taoist Lu looking at them with a smile.

Cheng Yu let go of Ah Cai, bowed respectfully to Lu Wuchen, and said, "Thank you for your help, Taoist Priest."

His words had multiple meanings. In addition to thanking Lu Wuchen for taking care of Ah Cai during this period, he also thanked him for helping to find the Red Lotus Saint.

"My Lord, please don't be polite,"

Lu Wuchen held his hands up and said, "My Lord, now that you are back, I will retire. I need to be away for a while, so I will say goodbye now."

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "Okay, I will not keep you any longer after troubling you for so long. The Taoist priest has something to do first, so it won't be too late to come back when the time comes."

"Can,"

After saying this, Lu Wuchen was about to say goodbye.

Ah Cai suddenly asked, "Where are you going, Lu Wuchen?"

"The Taoist priest has an appointment with a good friend to go to Mount Zhongnan."

"How long will you be gone? When will you be back?"

"It will take at least a year!"

"so long?"

She screamed out.

"Mt. Zhongnan is quite far away. It's a long way to go. Besides, I haven't seen this friend for a long time. There are many things to discuss when we meet. Besides, I have to go to other places, and a year is not enough time."

After listening to this, Ah Cai looked at Lu Wuchen and suddenly felt like crying.

I finally found a friend. It was Zhao Shouyi before, and now it’s him. We just established a revolutionary friendship, and now he’s leaving again.

She pouted and said, "He is your good friend, but I am your best friend. How could you bear to leave me alone for so long?"

"Hey girl, this was agreed upon a long time ago. How can I go back on my word?"

"Then you can't be gone for that long, four months at most."

"Four months of round trip is not enough,"

"I don't care, you can't be gone that long,"

She got angry and grabbed Lu Wuchen's sleeve. Lu Wuchen cried helplessly,

"Oh, how can you be like this?"

Cheng Yu also advised her, saying, "Caibao, Taoist Lu has something to do and will come back after he finishes it. You can't do this."

"Yes, Ah Cai, we have delayed the Taoist priest's work a lot during this period of time,"

Sun Yuechan and Madam Cheng also came to persuade her, but she was as stubborn as a cowboy and just held on to Lu Wuchen and refused to let go.

Finally, Lu Wuchen agreed to come back in eight months, and she agreed.

This scene made Yelu Yuan frown.

She had been with Ah Cai before and knew that she had a bad temper and a willful personality. Although Ah Cai was a Taoist priest, he was also an outsider.

Men and women should not touch each other, so how could it be improper for her, a lady from a marquis's mansion, to flirt with him in public?

After Lu Wuchen left, Cheng Yu introduced Yelu Yuan to Acai. The two of them greeted each other and they were able to get along peacefully after meeting each other again.

At the family dinner, Ah Cai's joy over her husband's return was dampened by Lu Wuchen's departure, and she looked a little depressed.

Cheng Yu was surprised at her attachment to Lu Wuchen now, but thinking about how Lu Wuchen had been with her every day for the past few months, just like when Zhao Shouyi had just left, she had the same reaction.

Cheng Yu thought that she just had a childish temper and would forget about Lu Wuchen after some time.
