Chapter 112 Xiao Er's Follow-up
"Have you really thought it through?" Chu Ci didn't expect that after the Fifth Prince, Xiao'er's performance would be so unexpected.
Xiao'er gritted her teeth and said, "I can't cause you any more trouble."
It seemed that Xiao'er had really made up her mind. Chu Ci did not continue to stop her, but just asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
"With the potato seeds you gave me, I won't starve to death no matter how difficult it is." Xiao'er paused for a moment and said, "But I should continue to open up new land!"
"It will be very hard to open up new land," Chu Ci advised.
Unexpectedly, Xiao'er didn't care at all. She said half self-deprecatingly and half jokingly: "Well, my goal is to be a small landlord's wife. Maybe I will marry again, or simply adopt a child, a boy or a girl. Isn't this how people live their lives!"
"Okay, I agree." Xiao'er had said this, and Chu Ci had no reason to refuse. "But..."
Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Xiao'er said anxiously, "Young Madam, if there is anything you need from Xiao'er, just tell me, Xiao'er will never say no."
What a lovely girl!
No wonder Yuanniang was reluctant!
So, Chu Ci didn't hesitate at all: "Before you leave, I want to make a deal with you."
Although Xiao'er was a little dumbfounded, she still followed Chu Ci's words and asked, "What deal? Can I have it?"
"Sure, this is tailor-made for you." Chu Ci said, taking out a pot of chili peppers. "Do you know it?"
"This is the chili you taught the cook to make before." Because one meal was provided during the "pre-marital training", Xiao'er was no stranger to chili.
Chu Ci nodded and said, "Xiao'er, don't you want to be a landlord? How about helping me grow some peppers? I'll provide you with the seeds, and when they are ripe, I'll buy them at a suitable price. What do you think?"
Xiao'er didn't answer, but her eyes were full of tears. After a while, she finally asked with a sob: "I always get into trouble, why are you so nice to me?"
Chu Ci wiped away Xiao'er's tears with a smile, "Because Xiao'er is a lovely and hardworking girl?"
"Is it just because of this reason?" Xiao'er was incredulous. "There are many girls like me."
"So, I hope that if Xiaoer meets a similarly lovely girl, you will help them when you are able to." Chu Ci finally stated his purpose.
"I will." After making her promise, Xiao'er really cried this time.
This was the first time Xiaoer cried after the divorce, not because she didn't dare, but because she couldn't. Even though Xiaoer knew her family loved her, the rumors outside did have an impact, and Xiaoer was just holding on.
Chu Ci walked over and patted Xiao'er's back gently: "Future landlord's wife, why are you crying? Are you reluctant to leave me and Yuanniang?"
After being interrupted by Chu Ci, Xiao Er suddenly burst into laughter and could not cry any more. "I am just simply happy."
Outside the door, seeing that Chu Ci allowed Xiao'er to leave but handed the chili to Xiao'er, Yuanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief and then knocked on the door lightly.
Dengdengdeng-
Chu Ci heard the voice and deliberately said jokingly: "It must be Yuan Niang. How long do you think she has been standing outside?"
Xiao'er blushed with shame, and Chu Ci shouted at the door: "Come in——"
When Xiao Er saw Yuan Niang coming in, she whispered, "I was willful and made Yuan Niang worried."
Xiao'er thought Yuanniang would comfort her like before, but she didn't expect that this time Yuanniang said sternly: "Know your temper, and be more restrained. There won't always be someone standing in your way."
"Thank you." At this moment, Xiao'er was sincerely grateful to Yuanniang and Chuci.
Yuan Niang did not answer, but bowed to Chu Ci and said, "Ding Yong has woken up, and the cousin specially sent someone to inform you."
Chu Ci: "What's going on?"
Chu Ci thought that now that the gold mine was found, it had nothing to do with him anymore.
Could it be for Niuniu? Thinking of this, Chu Ci immediately turned to Xiaoer and said, "How about this, you go back first, and I'll send you the seeds and planting methods in a few days."
Xiao'er was not a tactless person. She immediately knelt down and saluted, then slowly retreated.
After Xiao'er left, Yuanniang immediately closed the doors and windows, and then nervously pulled Chu Ci: "Master, have you noticed that the Fifth Prince looks at you in a strange way?"
"I know, what's the matter?" Chu Ci didn't know that Yuan Niang was thinking in some strange direction, so he admitted it casually.
Hearing Chu Ci's answer, Yuan Niang was almost angry to death. After a long while, she carefully advised: "Boss, Master Fan treats you very well, will you do this..."
Chu Ci still didn't understand Yuan Niang's train of thought. "If it weren't for Fan Jingrui and the Fan family, I would have been free and easy by myself a long time ago, okay? Tell me, when were you bribed by Fan Jingrui?"
Chu Ci was laughing and didn't look serious at all.
Yuanniang was almost worried to death! "Boss, even if that's the case, you don't have to..."
Yuanniang hesitated several times, and Chu Ci finally realized something was wrong: "No need? No need for what? Yuanniang, did you misunderstand something?"
Chu Ci's eyes were extremely clear, without a trace of impurities. He swallowed back Yuan Niang's persuasion and changed his words, "Does the Fifth Prince have anything else to ask of you?"
"That's not the case, but..." Chu Ci paused at the key point. "How about you guess?"
Yuan Niang finally couldn't help but burst out, reaching out to grab Chu Ci's shoulder. "Boss, do you think I can guess?"
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, isn't that enough? Yuanniang, please spare me!" Chu Ci immediately smiled and admitted defeat, and told her the request he made before leaving for Shenjia Village, as well as the things that the emperor might have refused.
It's not cheating, right? But it's no less serious than cheating!
Yuanniang felt that she was destined to worry: "Does Master Fan know about this?"
Chu Ci still didn't care about Yuanniang's feelings and said, "I know! We have done something, isn't it natural for us to ask for something?"
Yuan Niang didn't know what to say anymore. She gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin has sent me news. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
Chu Ci stared at Yuanniang for a long time and said, "Yuanniang, I find that your thoughts are not pure. Are you in love?"
Yuanniang: Who am I doing this for?
Finally, he couldn't help but pounce on Chu Ci. However, Chu Ci was prepared and rushed to the door in a flash.
Then Chu Ci's voice came from afar: "I'm going back first. Thank you for your help here, Yuanniang.
