Having established her own household, she was extremely independent and even managed to persuade Mrs. Wen to rent her the tofu shop. After dealing with Mrs. Wen daily, her temper naturally became like Mrs. Wen’s.

Mrs. Wang didn’t want her beloved youngest son to bring home a daughter-in-law who was hard to manage. “In short, forget about this matter. In the future, I will find you a good wife who will definitely be better than that girl Ning, alright?”

“Mother, I’m still young, why are you talking about this so early?” Zhuang Wencheng was upset that Mrs. Wang kept criticizing Zhuang Qingning and disagreed with their relationship.

“How old are you? You’re fourteen this year and when you’re sixteen, it’s time for marriage. I’m just telling you the truth. You’re already so old, don’t you feel shy?”

Mrs. Wang simply thought Zhuang Wencheng was just being shy, so she decided to tease him.

Zhuang Wencheng was not in the mood for jokes, frowning he said, “Mom, I’m still small. Let’s talk about this later.”

“Come on, let’s eat, I’ve been busy all morning and I’m very hungry now.”

“Okay, let’s eat. I specifically asked your eldest sister-in-law to make dumplings with green onion and pork filling for you when she was cooking lunch. You rarely come home, you should eat well.” Mrs. Wang called her eldest daughter-in-law in the kitchen to cook dumplings as soon as she heard her son was hungry.

She then went into the house to call the others to come for lunch.

For a moment, Zhuang Wencheng was alone in the courtyard, sitting at a table and bench, waiting to eat dumplings. But all he could think about was what Mrs. Wang said earlier.

Mrs. Wang did not like Zhuang Qingning and would certainly not want him to marry her in the future. What should he do?

Zhuang Wencheng sighed deeply as he pondered.

The small courtyard was exceptionally lively.

There were a lot of visitors today, all of them coming with congratulatory wishes and gifts. Zhou Xueming greeted and entertained them, keeping himself very busy.

An impressively high-class carriage parked in front of the small courtyard. A man in his thirties, who behaved like a steward, stepped out of the carriage.

After standing steady on the ground, he extended his hand to carefully assist the other person in the carriage to get down.

This person was an eight or nine-year-old boy. Although he was young, his appearance was quite handsome – especially his eyes, which were sparkling with radiant light. His noble clothes highlighted his extraordinary status. The boy had a distinct aura of grandeur, suggesting that he came from a powerful and wealthy family.

The people in the small courtyard kept quiet as soon as they saw such a distinguished person at the gate. Even when they looked, they dared only steal glances, fearing to be discovered by the boy.

Upon seeing the visitors, Zhou Xueming quickly apologized to his other guests, “I have to excuse myself for a moment to receive an important guest.”

Before others could respond, he hurried to the gate and greeted the steward. “Mr. Ning.”

“Mr. Zhou.” Ning Feng replied with a bow.

Then Zhou Xueming half-squatted and spoke to the boy in a low voice. “Third Young Master, why are you here?” He was extremely respectful, but also showed the affection typical of an older person.
