Looking at her father’s insistent expression, Su Binglan said, “All right, you can help too, Father. When the hotpot restaurant is on the right track, I will hire someone to help. Then you can rest at home.”

Su Fengmao waved his hand and said, “I can handle it.”

Su Binglan looked at everyone and said, “Hurry up. We can talk as we eat.”

Su Wenwu nodded and said, “There is still so much food. I’m sure we can eat more after taking a short break.” Although his stomach was quite full, he felt he could still eat later.

Baili Jinghua nodded as she also knew she could eat more later.

Su Binglan put a few more things into the pot and ate for a while more. Then she said, “Do you guys want to add some spiciness?”

She planned to make a pot with two sides. One side was for chili oil, and the other was for sesame oil.

“What does spiciness mean?”

Su Binglan looked at Su Wenwu and said, “It’s chili, Third Brother. I’ll put less in later. You’ll know what I mean when you’ve tasted it.”

The Su family enjoyed eating spicy food, but Su Wenwu had yet to try it since he had just returned. He did not know how chili tasted.

Baili Jinghua had tried spicy food before and thought it was unbearably spicy.

However, she grew to like it and would sometimes eat steamed buns with chili.

She told Su Binglan, “If there were chilis in the military camp, the soldiers wouldn’t feel so cold during the winter.” Baili Jinghua would feel hot whenever she ate spicy food, but she liked it.

Su Wenzhe thought of Luo Jin’an when the others talked about chili. He sighed and said, “I can eat chili and spicy food now, thanks to Jin’an.”

He could not handle the spiciness of chilis previously, but Luo Jin’an had put chili sauce on Su Wenzhe’s lamb skewers once, and Su Wenzhe thought it was unbearable. Still, he grew to like chili and felt that spicier dishes were more delicious and exciting.

Everyone thought of Luo Jin’an when Su Wenzhe mentioned him. Then Su Binglan’s smile disappeared as she hoped he would be with the family during the Mooncake Festival’s reunion dinner.

Luo Jin’an had never tried hotpot before, and Su Binglan did not know how he was doing in the capital or when he would return.

Everyone fell silent when Su Wenzhe mentioned Luo Jin’an. Liu Yinyin discretely pinched Su Wenzhe, but he did not understand why his wife did that. He only looked at Liu Yinyin as she glared at him.

‘Right, Brother-in-law isn’t around, and I mentioned him.’ Su Wenzhe finally realized what he had done.

“Ah, right! Let’s, uh, eat some more, shall we?”

Meanwhile, Su Wenwu almost burst into tears when he ate the meat from the chili pot. “Ah! I need water!”

He stood up and paced back and forth in the courtyard as Shen Qiuhua hurriedly poured him some water. However, Su Wenwu still felt hot even after drinking the water.

Su Binglan said, “Third Brother, eat some mooncakes to suppress the spiciness. You’ll feel better.”

Su Wenwu really did feel better after eating the mooncakes. After a while, he looked at the chili, and his eyes became increasingly brighter. “So, that’s what spiciness is? It’s quite satisfying!”

Su Binglan looked at him and laughed. “Do you like the chili, Third Brother?”

“Of course. After a while, my whole body was sweating, and I felt warm inside and out. Su Wenwu continued eating as he liked the spiciness. “It’s truly delicious, Little Sister!”

“Hahaha!” Everyone laughed when they saw Su Wenwu’s expression.

It was a genuine Mooncake Festival reunion dinner as everyone cheerfully ate and chatted. Shortly after, the family admired the moon and ate some mooncakes just before it was time to sleep.

The family did not go to bed until it was very late, but Su Fengmao had already gone to heat up the brick bed in Su Binglan’s house for Su Wenwu and Su Wenxiu to rest.

Su Wenwu and Su Wenxiu slept on the same brick bed, while Su Binglan slept on her own in the inner room. In the past, the two brothers would squeeze in one room in the old house, but they could now sleep on a warm bed.

Su Binglan lay on her bed but could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. The moon during the Mooncake Festival was perfectly circular and exceptionally bright.

Su Binglan could feel the moonlight through the window lattice illuminating the room when she lay on her bed. She looked at the moon and wondered how her husband was doing in the capital.

Su Binglan could not help but think, ‘Would he miss home during the Mooncake Festival?’

Meanwhile, two handsome teenagers were playing chess in King Ding’s mansion in the capital.

King Ding Lan Ruozhu looked at Luo Jin’an and said, “The plague is under control, thanks to the prescription you brought.”

Luo Jin’an moved his chess piece and said lightly, “That’s excellent news. I should return to the village.”

Lan Ruozhu took his turn on the chessboard and asked discreetly, “Do you have someone you care about, Jin’an?”

Luo Jin’an paused and did not say anything.

Lan Ruozhu sighed. “You weren’t like this in the past, but if my sister, Roubing, were here, she would be happy for you. I-It’s been three years, and I thought you were… It’s good to see you, Jin’an.”

Lan Ruozhu was truly happy to see his friend. “Hey, if it weren’t for the plague in the capital, you wouldn’t have come, right?”

Luo Jin’an was silent for a while before saying, “It’s not the right time. You’ll be in danger if you expose yourself too early.”

Lan Ruozhu sighed again. “I’ve put my life and death aside. I might not have survived this long if I hadn’t promised my sister I’d live on.”

“Since you’re still alive, I must live on too. I must avenge my Wei army and allow the surviving members to enjoy the sunlight,” Luo Jin’an said, frowning.

“That’s what my sister wants too, Jin’an. So, I will fight for that position,” Lan Ruozhu was determined when he said that. It was as if a flame was burning in his eyes.

Luo Jin’an looked at Lan Ruozhu and said, “Let the others fight first. We should conserve our strength and let Dingzhou develop. Only by storing our strength can we claim that position. Still, you must protect yourself and avoid danger.” Luo Jin’an knew what Lan Ruozhu was going to do.

Lan Ruozhu said, “Don’t worry. My father left the Shadow Guards to me. My sister even trained some of them. They are powerful and will protect me well. However, can you genuinely live in that place?”

Luo Jin’an said, “That’s the place Princess Lan chose for me, so there won’t be any problems.”

Lan Ruozhu sighed and said, “She said she’ll return.”

“I’ll never forget that, but do you honestly think she can live again?” Luo Jin’an asked thoughtfully.

After all, how could a person come back to life after death?

Lan Ruozhu was a bit skeptical, but he firmly believed his sister’s words. He covered his chest and said, “I’ve always thought she’s still alive. At that time, she chose Tenghe Town for a reason and said there was a slim chance of survival.. Have you seen her or anyone similar to her there?”
