Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Whatever the Su family needed to prepare, they would do it together. Now that everyone had free time, they made noodles as a family.

The whole family busied themselves preparing for the New Year, and it was a happy and harmonious time.

It was New Year when Su Teng Market opened the following day. Early that morning, the villagers woke up to set off firecrackers.

Although, people usually set off fewer fireworks on New Years Eve. They only set off more firecrackers on New Years Day.

Crackle! Crackle, boom!

Everyone felt the spirit of the New Year when they heard the firecrackers. Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai immediately ran out of the house to watch the lively scene.

Liu Yinyin chased after her sons and said, Dont get too close. Its dangerous.

Then she turned to her husband. Come and watch the kids. Dont let them run too far.

Su Wenze was preparing to help with the cooking fire, but he had no choice but to look after Su Xuexuan and Su Xuehai.

Meanwhile, Luo Jinan chopped firewood in the courtyard. Everyone realized his strength since he recovered. Moreover, they discovered he was excellent in martial arts.

Previously, Su Wenwu said he wanted to learn martial arts from his sister, but Luo Jinan offered to teach him instead. Su Wenwu felt unconvinced at that time.

However, when he went to expand the hotpot restaurant in another town, he met Ye Feiran and saved her. He realized how good his martial arts skills were because Luo Jinan was the one who taught him.

So, my brother-in m laws martial arts skills are that good, Su Wenwu thought,

l feel like hes hiding something. No wonder 1 felt Jinans extraordinary aura.

Su Wenwu wondered what his brother-in-laws deal was, and Su Binglan said nothing about it. Only Lin Zheng knew Luo Jinan was Young Marshal Wei.

Early that morning, everyone made breakfast together. Afterward, the family went to the market while Su Binglan continued to rehea.r.s.e The Concubine.

She had visited a few towns over the past two days and saw a few skilled street performers. She told the Shadow Guards to check their background and recruited them for her play. Then she planned to teach them how to act. Usually, Su Binglan would watch the street performers practice whenever she had free time. Then she gave them a break in the afternoon.

Celebrating the New Year was important to everyone. In the past, people would prepare some staple food and fish dishes when celebrating it. However, they had switched to making dumplings for the holidays. Therefore, the Su family also made dumplings.

l went to the market in the morning and saw more people than usual. Everyone was shopping here, Shen Qiuhua said while wrapping the dumplings.

She continued, Many people plan to make dumplings for the celebrations. No one knew what dumplings were in the past and prepared other normal foods.

l visited my parents two days ago, Liu Yinyin said, My family is preparing dumplings for the New Year, too. Dumplings had become a tradition for the celebrations. Right, arent we buying door couplets?

Su Binglan smiled. Theres no need. Well get some red paper and let Jinan write poems on them since he has excellent handwriting.

Luo Jinan became a top scholar at eight, and his calligraphy skills were rare. Therefore, Su Binglan asked him to write couplets.

Shen Qiuhua nodded and said, All right, thats perfect. I feel like Jinan has become much more knowledgeable now.

She no longer thought Luo Jinan was ordinary and suspected he had a secret ident.i.ty. Otherwise, he would not be so knowledgeable and skillful.

Even Su Wenwu said Luo Jinans martial arts skills were unparalleled.

However, Shen Qiuhua knew she should not pry and was satisfied as long as her daughter was happy.

Moreover, the older woman was relieved to see her family on such good terms.

Su Binglan raised her brows when she heard her mothers words. She knew her husband was brilliant. He was also one of the most famous people in Chu Countryeven commoners wors.h.i.+ped him.

Luo Jinan was highly talented and was even better than the crown prince. Therefore, many people were envious of Luo Jinan. Everyone thought the crown prince must hate Luo Jinan for stealing the spotlight, so they joined the war three years ago to kill Wei Jinan.

Those people did not know Wei Jinan was still alive, but Su Binglan would protect him this time.

Yes, Mother. He has learned many things and suffered greatly in the past.

Although he knows many things, l t d like to keep that between us.

Shen Qiuhua noticed her daughters severe tone and said, Dont worry. Your father and I are not big-mouthed. Jinan is with you and is a member of our family.

Her heart ached when she heard that Luo Jinan had suffered in the past. She looked at the scar on his face and thought it had just appeared. She asked, Jinan didnt have any scars on his face before, right?

Mmm, no, 1 only just got it.

Shen Qiuhua asked again, You know medicine, right, Binglan? Cant you remove it?

She wanted her daughter to heal Luo Jinans scar with her medical skills. Although his scar was prominent, Su Binglan could easily treat it.

Su Binglan had previously mentioned healing the scar to Luo Jinan, but he said he wanted to keep it because it would always remind him of his responsibilities.

Su Binglan thought that perhaps the Wei family would get their revenge and be liberated one day. Only then would Luo Jinan let her heal his scar. She said,

l can heal the scar, but not now.

Shen Qiuhua was perceptive and understood the meaning behind her daughters words. All right, if you need me to do anything, just ask.

Su Binglan felt a warmth in her heart and was still considering how to explain things to her mother. However, she did not expect her mother to understand and not pry.

Youre a good mother, Su Binglan said.

Shen Qiuhua looked at her coquettish daughter and felt a sense of sweetness in her heart. The former smiled and said, Well, youre a great daughter.

A few days later, a carriage arrived at Su Teng Village. If one looked carefully, one would notice the carriage was from the Legendary Medicine Valley. Luo Jinan knew it when he saw the carriage entering the village.

He told his wife, Shen Mohen has arrived with Yue Huachen.

Su Binglan widened her eyes. Theyre already here? That was pretty quick.

Luo Jinan nodded. Yes.

Su Binglan stopped what she was doing and went to the door. Then Luo Jinan grabbed her hand and said, l have something to tell you..
