Chapter 431: Actually, Life is Still Bearable

"I've had my meal." Tong Sanlang was saying as he pointed to Qiao Xiaomai. "I'm looking for Xiaomai."

"Do you have something to discuss with her?" Qiao Changshun quickly called out to Qiao Dami who was playing under a tree. "Dami, start the fire."

The situation had changed; the retired emperor had left, so had Princes Yang Ye and Yang Wang.

The matter of his daughter's marriage could finally be brought to the table.

Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang left the Qiao home. There were some things that couldn't be discussed in front of Qiao Changshun and Qiao Dami.

Both of them ended up by the small river.

They found a rock to sit on, and Qiao Xiaomai asked, "How are things at your place now?"

With a bitter smile, Tong Sanlang recounted the argument that had just happened at home. After a pause, he asked, "Your father... he doesn't seem to mind it at all."

It was strange. His whole family's property had just been confiscated, but Qiao Changshun's treatment of him had not changed.
