Chapter 600 New Year

Su Yanyu nodded seriously. “Shifu, don’t worry. I, Su Yanyu, swear to the heavens that I will remember your teachings and won’t let you down. If I break this oath, I will…”

Liu Sanniang interrupted Su Yanyu. “As long as you remember it, it’s enough. You don’t have to swear.”

Su Yanyu was already prepared to take an oath, but being interrupted by Liu Sanniang, he didn’t finish it. However, he understood that this was a serious matter.

After becoming Liu Sanniang’s disciple, he could now stay by Liu Sanniang’s side openly.

She, on the other hand, began to think seriously about how to teach Su Yanyu. He was interested in cultivation, but he couldn’t do it.

Then, she could only teach him something else.

Liu Sanniang thought for a moment and decided to teach Su Yanyu how to refine poison.

Cultivators could refine poison, and so could mortals.

Su Yanyu was excited even though he had to learn from the beginning and take it step by step.

There were hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of types of incense used to attract insects. He had to learn how to make incense first.

Liu Sanniang told him the method and taught him. Su Yanyu followed suit, and so did Liu Yuanyuan and Hu Yu. To them, it was good to have one more ability.

On the 29th of December, Li Guanfeng came to the Liu family and handed Liu Sanniang a box.

He said, “This is what Xiaowu’s grandmother instructed me to give you. She said that if there’s anything left after her funeral, it has to be delivered to you.”

Old Madam Su was dead. After she was cremated, a black thing appeared in the ashes. Since she had instructed so, this thing was sent to Li Guanfeng to be handed over to Liu Sanniang.

She took it. “Thank you.”

Liu Sanniang opened the box and looked at the contents.

Li Guanfeng smiled and did not ask what it was because he did not want to get involved in the matter. When he saw it, he was tempted to take a look, but when he reached out for it, he felt that it was not a good thing.

After Li Guanfeng delivered the thing, he went back.

Liu Sanniang took out the black pill. This was a sin. When Old Madam Su knew that everything she did was evil, she went to find the answer without hesitation.

What did Old Madam Su wish for in the first place?

Liu Sanniang would never know, but it did not matter if she did not know because that sin had already taken shape. It was waiting for the day when it would return to the person who had spread the sin.

On the day of the new year, Su Yanyu looked at Madam Liu and Liu Sanniang making dumplings and felt extremely happy.

Liu Erlang said to Su Yanyu, “Su, when you eat the dumplings later, you have to chew them carefully. My mother puts copper coins in these dumplings. If you eat too quickly, you’ll swallow it.”

Su Yanyu said in confusion, “How? That copper coin is so big and hard to swallow. Who can swallow it?”

Liu Erlang replied with a sigh. “I’ve swallowed it before.”

Su Yanyu looked at Liu Erlang in disbelief, as if he was thinking about how Liu Erlang managed to swallow the copper coin. However, seeing how serious Liu Erlang was, Su Yanyu subconsciously stopped himself from asking the question.

Liu Erlang patted Su Yanyu. “Su, are you going to laugh at me too? Let me tell you, you have to call me Second Uncle now. If you laugh at me, I’ll beat you up!”

Su Yanyu immediately choked on his saliva.

If he became Liu Sanniang’s disciple, wouldn’t Liu Erlang become his second uncle?

Su Yanyu quickly said, “I’m not laughing at you, and I won’t laugh at you either. It must be because the dumplings were too delicious.”

Only then did Liu Erlang pat Su Yanyu in satisfaction. “That’s more like it.”

Madam Liu couldn’t help but smile. “Yanyu and Erlang really hit it off.”

Liu Dalang was a man of few words, but Liu Erlang was lively. Su Yanyu and Liu Erlang always had something to talk about.

As they chatted and laughed, it was time for the new year’s eve dinner.

Madam Liu invited Chu Yan over. Mr. Chu did not seem to have any objections, let alone Madam Li.

When he saw Chu Yan, Su Yanyu immediately went forward and shouted. “Hello, Mr. Chu. I’ll definitely toast you later.”

Chu Yan nodded faintly.

Su Yanyu had a feeling that after becoming Liu Sanniang’s disciple, Chu Yan was more tolerant of him being around Liu Sanniang.

Madam Liu smiled. This year, the house was even more lively than before.

She was extremely happy. The dumplings were ready, and all kinds of dishes were brought to the table one after another.

The wine had been prepared long ago. It was osmanthus wine. When the jar was opened, one could smell the fragrance of osmanthus.

Mr. Liu said, “Yanyu, you’re in for a treat. This is brewed by your shifu’s mother this year.”

Su Yanyu smiled. “Really? Then, I’m really in for a treat.”

Madam Liu was a little embarrassed. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. It’s just ordinary wine. If you like it, drink as much as you want.”

Su Yanyu was a rich young master and had drunk all kinds of good wine.

Madam Liu and the others also knew that Su Yanyu was Marquis Su’s only son. His sister was a favored consort in the palace. After giving birth to a son, her status was even more stable.

Still, Su Yanyu remained polite. After becoming a disciple, he was even more polite. After Madam Liu sat down, Mr. Liu began to pour wine. “First glass of wine for the new year. Everyone, stay safe.”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it in one gulp before starting to eat.

Liu Erlang quickly started eating the dumplings. “I have to find the one with a copper coin.”

Madam Liu teased him. “Then, you have to be careful. Don’t swallow it again.”

Liu Erlang smiled. “I’ll eat very carefully this time.”

The dumplings were already finished, but no one found the copper coin.

The Liu family looked at each other and thought to themselves., “Could it be that it was swallowed by someone again?” The person they suspected was naturally Liu Erlang.

“I didn’t. It wasn’t me. I chewed very slowly this time!”

Liu Erlang quickly defended himself.

If it wasn’t Liu Erlang, then who was it? Mr. Liu couldn’t help but say, “Don’t tell me you forgot to put it in the dumpling.”

Madam Liu refused to admit it. “Impossible.”

Mr. Liu said, “Then, it was probably swallowed by someone accidentally. It’s fine.”

Su Yanyu slowly drank his wine and said, “Madam Liu, your culinary skills are really good. I can even swallow the bones without difficulty. It’s really delicious.”
