Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune-Chapter 113

112, Confession (3 more)

Xie Zhinuan thought so, humming a tune while making a fire in the kitchen, fetching water to rinse the crabs, and stewing them in the kitchen.

Meanwhile

Yuanbao dared not face Li Hengyi, hesitating at the door for a long time.

Only after dawdling did she walk up to Li Hengyi, “Master!”

“Hmm?” Li Hengyi responded indifferently.

Without lifting his eyes, his voice carried a tinge of coldness as he looked at the random book in his hands.

“Master, the fools have exposed themselves, and Miss Xie sent them all back!” Yuanbao whispered softly.

“…”

Li Hengyi furrowed his brows.

If he was indifferent at first, by now, Li Hengyi was no longer calm.

Just because he wanted to add a dish to the meal, and thought to make her come to him, he had angered her into refusing the cooking task, and even dragged the fools’ identities into the open.

“Not only that, but she also found out about our scheme to deal with Yuanji and the Yuan Family sending her to the county magistrate!” After Yuanbao finished speaking, her head hung even lower.

“…”

Li Hengyi put away the book and couldn’t help but ask, “She knows everything?”

“She knows everything!”

“…”

Li Hengyi was silent for a moment before he said, “Have someone move my belongings to another courtyard!”

What was his status? It made no sense for him to quibble with a weak woman. Since she didn’t take him seriously, he couldn’t shamelessly approach her.

He didn’t believe she wouldn’t come to him eventually.

“…” Yuanbao, surprised, hesitated before replying, “Yes!”

Li Hengyi’s move was swift, and before dusk, he had moved all his belongings into the new courtyard.

The new courtyard was farther from the village, more tranquil, but the scent of Leng Zhuxiang was no longer there.

“…”

Li Hengyi stood by the window, feeling a twinge of pain in his chest, his brows slightly furrowed.

Yuanbao hid in the distance, secretly blaming herself for not making things clear.

She quickly went to the storeroom to find a box of Bird’s Nest and a piece of Ginseng to take to Xie Zhinuan’s house.

As she reached the door, Routuan sat at the entrance, looking coldly at her with dog eyes, while Dahuang gnashed its teeth.

“Miss Xie!” Yuanbao called out softly.

Hearing this, Xie Zhinuan poked her head out of the kitchen, “…” Watching Yuanbao, after hesitating for a moment, said, “Wait for me a second!”

She turned around to check the water in the pot and took out some firewood.

Only then did she leave the kitchen and called Yuanbao to sit under the outside canopy.

“Miss Xie!” Yuanbao pushed the items towards Xie Zhinuan, “Miss Xie, please listen to my explanation, can you?”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan looked at Yuanbao and then at the Bird’s Nest and Ginseng, lightly smiling, “Speak!”

“Miss Xie, as I’ve told you before, my master’s status is extraordinary, nothing can be taken lightly. We prepare for any eventuality, and placing people at your side was a reluctant necessity. Besides, look at these past days, haven’t the fools been dedicated? They’ve never told me about your affairs, neither have I sought to ask. We’ve been living together peacefully, haven’t we?”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan remained silent.

“Today’s incident is my fault, I didn’t convey the message clearly, causing you displeasure. I apologize sincerely once again. Would you please forgive this small person’s mistake and let this pass? I, Yuanbao, owe you a favor. In the future, as long as it’s within my power, I will surely do something for you. Is that acceptable?”

“…” Xie Zhinuan remained silent.

Seeing this, Yuanbao felt increasingly distressed and worried, “Miss Xie, if you have any demands, please voice them. If you find the monthly salary too little, name your price!”

“…”

Xie Zhinuan pushed the Bird’s Nest and Ginseng back, “I will consider it. It’s not because I value your master’s status, but because I cannot bear to part with the fools. Take these back, let me have two days of peace, and then I will give you an answer!”
