Chapter 104 The Pot Falls from the Sky

"Jiaojiao, what did you bring me here for?" Cheng Yanwen rode his horse, looking at the village at the foot of the mountain and the house halfway up the mountain. He took a few more glances and said, "This shabby village, I wonder who built such a nice house?"

"Brother, you said you would compensate me today." Cheng Fangjiao covered her face and looked at Cheng Yanwen eagerly: "Look at my face!"

Cheng Fangjiao looked at him aggrievedly and said, "For the sake of your family harmony, I didn't tell anyone about your drinking and drinking."

"Jiaojiao, you've been wronged. Today, I'll go wherever you say!" A hint of guilt emerged in Cheng Yanwen's eyes, and he immediately followed behind Cheng Fangjiao, looking as if he would obey her every word today.

"That's more like it." Cheng Fangjiao pulled the reins, her eyes falling on the house halfway up the mountain. If she remembered correctly, Bao Cui had heard that this was the Xiao family's house!

What good is a nice house built in a dilapidated village?

"Jiaojiao, do you know the owner of the house?" Cheng Yanwen seldom came to the mountains. He preferred the warm and soft beauties, listening to little songs. Those girls, half-exposed, were the most alluring!

"I don't know him." Cheng Fangjiao replied casually.

Cheng Yanwen looked at her for a long time and couldn't help but say, "Jiaojiao, I don't have much private money. If you want to buy a house, I can't afford it." He said, this girl would not have nothing to do after eating, so she brought him to this desolate mountain. Could it be that she had taken a fancy to the house?

"..." Cheng Fangjiao was wondering if the information Baocui had heard was inaccurate?

It was clearly said that Xiao Jiuyue would come back from the mountains at noon every day. Unfortunately, no one knows where she is playing the piano, otherwise, I would have come to her house directly.

It’s already the end of the world, why hasn’t anyone come down the mountain yet?

"Jiaojiao, this house looks quite old. It's halfway up the mountain, and there's no hot spring here." Cheng Yanwen tried to persuade her, wanting to dissuade Cheng Fangjiao, and kept saying that this house was not good!

"Who said we were going to buy this house?" Cheng Fangjiao interrupted him. She and Cheng Yanwen grew up together, so how could she not know what he was thinking? She pursed her lips and said, "Brother, even if I really wanted to buy this house, why wouldn't you buy it for me?"

Cheng Fangjiao stared at him, and Cheng Yanwen's eyes flickered slightly: "Buy it, if you want to buy the house, then you must buy it. After all, you are the county magistrate's daughter. When you get married in the future, this dowry of farm and house must not be less. You can't lose face for the Cheng family, right?"

Humph, you just don’t want to spend money!

Cheng Fangjiao snorted in her heart. She knew exactly what Cheng Yanwen was thinking. Wasn't it just that he was reluctant to give up his little private money?

"The scenery over there is nice. I'll go take a look first." Cheng Yanwen felt uneasy when she stared at him. He didn't know what this girl was up to. He found an excuse and walked along the path.

"This dilapidated village is nothing but mountains. I don't know what's so good about it." Cheng Yanwen looked around, completely unaware of why Cheng Fangjiao insisted on dragging him here at this time?

It was cold and gloomy on the sunless path. Cheng Yanwen squeezed his horse's belly and galloped away, intending to reach the sunny side on the other side.

A child ran down the hillside. Cheng Yanwen, who had turned the corner, pulled the reins tightly: "Whoa!"

Seeing the child about to be stepped on by the raised horse hoof, the child's face turned pale with fear. Cheng Yanwen shouted angrily: "Go away!"

The child was terrified.

"Be careful." A red figure rushed out and rolled onto the grass next to him holding the child.

"Don't you have eyes? Why are you running on the road?" Cheng Yanwen finally calmed the horse down, turned around and shouted angrily at the little boy. He looked at the adult next to him and was about to scold him when he realized that the red figure was actually a woman?

She had long hair like a waterfall, with only a jade hairpin pinned in her hair. Her back view made him eager to see the girl's face.

"Jiayuan, are you okay?" Xiao Jiuyue ignored Cheng Yanwen's angry rebuke. She helped Xiao Jiayuan up and only breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was not injured.

"Miss." Lianxin ran over holding the zither.

A pretty maid?

Cheng Yanwen became more interested in Xiao Jiuyue's face. He dismounted and cleared his throat.

Xiao Jiuyue pushed Xiao Jiayuan to Lianxin's side and turned to look at Cheng Yanwen: "Riding a horse on a mountain path like this, are you sure others don't have eyes?"

"..." When Cheng Yanwen saw her face, he was stunned. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on her face, as if it was coated with a layer of golden light. Her sparkling eyes became particularly...attractive because of her anger.

"Miss Xiao, my brother didn't mean to do that. He didn't hurt you, did he?" Cheng Fangjiao came over a little later, the joy in her eyes almost unconcealable. She dismounted, feeling as if God was helping her. She walked over to Cheng Yanwen and said, "Brother, apologize quickly."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry." Cheng Yanwen apologized hastily after realizing it, like a puppet. He was so excited that he seemed to be able to hear his own heartbeat like thunder.

"Miss Xiao, my elder brother really didn't mean it. How about this, I'll take the initiative to treat Miss Xiao to a meal..." Cheng Fangjiao was only halfway through her words when Cheng Yanwen nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, I'll treat Miss Xiao to a meal as an apology."

"Who cares about your food?" Xiao Jiuyue took a step back. In her mind, she couldn't help but think of Tang Tian's words: Cheng Fangjiao is holding a lot of evil in her heart, and I don't know how to deal with Fang Caiwei!

Now, Xiao Jiuyue just wants to say one thing: You can sit at home and the pot will come to you.

Xiao Jiuyue turned around and felt the gazes of the two brothers and sisters. She felt disgusted and walked away.

"My sister doesn't care about your meal." Xiao Jiayuan keenly sensed that his sister was unhappy. He turned around and made a face at the Cheng brothers and sisters. He looked at Xiao Jiuyue sideways and said, "Sister, don't be angry. I'll treat you to a meal."

"Okay." Xiao Jiuyue was originally very angry, but now looking at Xiao Jiayuan's silly look, she couldn't help but smile.

Lianxin followed Xiao Jiuyue with the zither in her arms.

"You're back to your senses." Cheng Fangjiao waved her hand in front of Cheng Yanwen's fixed eyes. Her lips curled slightly as she asked deliberately, "Is she pretty?"

"It looks good." Cheng Yanwen stood on tiptoe. Even though the red figure was almost out of sight, his eyes were still following that direction.

For the first time, Cheng Fangjiao did not feel jealous. She turned her head to look at the Xiao residence, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her lips, "Xiao Jiuyue, you can't escape!"
