Xu Zaohua stood under a locust tree, watching through the leaves as Jingzhe picked apricots for a beautiful girl in luxurious clothes.
Jingzhe was Qinghe Bay's most aloof scholar, and it was her first time seeing Jingzhe climb a tree, first time seeing such a joyful smile on his face.
The girl looked wealthy at first glance, dressed in things she hadn't seen before.
She guessed this girl might be a relative from the Nie Family, Baishuang's in-laws.
Because the Gu Family only had the Nie Family as their wealthy relatives.
Xu Zaohua clutched her hands tightly, Jingzhe was hers, and no one could take him away.
Yan Pozi, with her four sons, was on her way home from the threshing ground, just about to pass through Tong Huaqiong's yard.
From afar, she heard bursts of laughter.
Coming closer, she saw Jingzhe in the tree picking apricots, with Taohua and the pretty girl standing below.
At the threshing ground, Yan Pozi and her four sons had already seen Lu Zhaozhao.
