“Your biggest advantage now is that the Owner of the village likes you. The position of the Owner’s wife is not something that people like us can imagine, but you can take advantage of it. If you can get the Owner of the village to accept you as an Aunt, and you have the affection you have now, life won’t be too difficult even if you get old in the future.”
Jiang Rui followed Ling Yuan naturally not to be his mistress, but Ningxiang’s words were for her own good, so she would not refute her face-to-face. She just said with a smile: “I have remembered what Sister Ningxiang said and will think about it carefully when I get back.”
Ningxiang nodded and joked: “When we met for the first time that day, I thought you were a lucky person. There is no mistress in our village now. When you become an aunt, you will be considered half a wife. You’ll have to take care of me then.”
Jiang Rui smiled and was about to speak when suddenly a sinister voice said: “It’s like what my mother said, you are all despicable people who just want to seduce men all day long.”
The two of them turned their heads together and saw Young Master Gu standing outside the pavilion, looking at them with a malicious look on his face.
Jiang Rui frowned slightly. This kid was still young, but the words he spoke really didn’t seem to come from someone of his age. Besides, he was still a boy, so at least, he had read some books, but he was somehow taught to be like this.
When Ningxiang saw him, her face turned slightly pale. It was obvious that she had been frightened by the torment before. She had been hiding in her courtyard for so long and went out for the first time today. Unexpectedly, she encountered the evil star.
“Gu, Young Master Gu…”
Young Master Gu swaggered in. He used to be a bit mellow, but he had been frightened a while ago and had been ill. He had lost a lot of weight. Now when he looked at people from the corners of his eyes, he looked even meaner. “Hey, you asked her to be your Village Owner’s aunt, do you also want to be an aunt? I’m warning you, stay away from my cousin. My cousin belongs to my sister!”
Ningxiang hurriedly said: “Young Master Gu has misunderstood. Young Master Liu and I have nothing.”
“I don’t believe what you say, bitch.” Young Master Gu looked contemptuous.
Ningxiang’s face turned even paler, but she didn’t dare to say anything.
Jiang Rui’s hands were a little itchy. She had never seen such a naughty boy before, but there were not many people who had a bite like this.
Moreover, she could tell that when outsiders were around, this boy would not be so bad. At most, he was acting like a child, but now he obviously saw that she and Ningxiang were alone, so he didn’t hide his malice anymore.
However, she noticed the two people walking not far away from the corner of her eyes, so she did not refute what Young Master Gu said.
Didn’t he pretend to be good in front of adults? Let’s see how he can keep pretending now.
Just as she was thinking about it, Young Master Gu suddenly slapped Ningxiang in the face.
“You–” Jiang Rui took a step forward and was about to pull the person away, but someone took a step faster.
“Gu Jin, don’t go too far!” It was Liu Xingfeng.
Liu Xingfeng went to find Ling Yuan. After what happened that day, he didn’t dare to come to the door in person. The next day, he asked the servant to give Jiang Rui a parrot. Today, he felt that the matter should be over, so he came to the door with a smile. To his surprise, Ling Yuan was the only one in the courtyard.
He took the person and talked a lot, and then he asked: “Brother Ling, where is Sanniang?”
Ling Yuan kept staring at the chessboard without raising his head, “Go out.”
Liu Xingfeng looked at his face and asked tentatively, “That day… Sanniang didn’t have any trouble with Brother Ling, right?”
Throwing the chess piece back, Ling Yuan finally raised his head and muttered to himself: “Having trouble?”
Thinking that he was talking to himself, Liu Xingfeng said: “Yes, no matter who heard what I said that day, the person would be unhappy. Besides, Brother Ling, you and Sanniang have such a relationship. It’s normal for her to misunderstand, you should have explained it to her, right?”
Ling Yuan didn’t know whether he heard it or not, but he was still immersed in his own thoughts.
He felt that the little cook’s behavior in the past two days could be explained by the word awkwardness. Although she looked obedient and didn’t refuse his request, it made him feel uncomfortable. It turned out that this was an awkward situation.
He looked up at Liu Xingfeng and said, “She made trouble with me.”
Liu Xingfeng opened his mouth: “Sanniang makes trouble? It doesn’t look like it.”
“It’s not that kind of trouble…” Ling Yuan frowned.
He always had a gentle expression on his face. Unless something serious happened, Liu Xingfeng had never seen him look like this. He felt strange, curious, and a little guilty. After all, this was most likely caused by him, so he asked Ling Yuan what happened after he left that day.
