Transmigrating to Exile, I Prosper by the Sea

Ye Mingzhu transmigrated to become a low-status pearl diver. She had no parents, only a young brother, and was without food, drink, or land.

Fortunately, the heavens granted her a golden fing...

Chapter 196 Beautiful Misunderstanding

Ye Mingzhu had an idea and thought that this was a good opportunity to find out about Aunt Mo and the wet nurse.

Jiang Hongyu didn't want to go. "The last time we went there, I told Wu Jiang to let us know if the sweet potatoes were grown. I guess they haven't grown yet."

Aunt Jiang turned sideways and glared at Jiang Hongyu fiercely: "How will you know if you don't go and take a look? Fangzheng, you have nothing to do at home, why don't you accompany Mingzhu to stay at the manor for a few days."

Jiang Hongyu was a little dazed, not knowing what Aunt Jiang meant. But under Aunt Jiang's glare, he could only say, "I thought about it, and there's nothing to do at home, so why not go and look at the sweet potato."

Aunt Jiang turned around and said, "Mingzhu, why don't you go pack some things and leave today?"

Ye Mingzhu was pushed into the house by Aunt Jiang. She was still a little slow to react. Was it necessary to be so anxious to go and see the sweet potatoes?

When Ye Mingzhu entered the house, Aunt Jiang twisted Jiang Hongyu's arm. He grimaced in pain but didn't dare to cry out. He only whispered, "Mom, dear mom, what are you doing?"

"I think your brain has been eaten by fish. Mingzhu was obviously unhappy when she heard the news that Lin Dongjia was pregnant. I asked you to take her out for a walk, but you can't figure it out."

Aunt Jiang looked at Jiang Hongyu with a look of disappointment.

Jiang Hongyu: "Why didn't I notice Mingzhu was unhappy?"

Aunt Jiang reached out to twist his arm again, but he dodged it: "Mom, I understand. I'll go help Mingzhu pack her things and stay with her for a few more days."

Jiang Hongyu tried to run away, but Aunt Jiang caught him: "Hongyu, women in our Zhou family have to be 18 years old to have children. Although you and Mingzhu got married early, having children too early is not good for Mingzhu's health. Do you want to sleep separately?"

Jiang Hongyu's face flushed: "Mom, who do you think I am? We haven't... well, I know."

Aunt Jiang watched Jiang Hongyu run away, with a look of melancholy on her face: "It really looks like him!"

Jiang Hongyu took a few deep breaths at the door of the house, and the heat on his face subsided. When he entered the house, he almost bumped into Ye Mingzhu. He quickly dodged to the side and spun twice before he could stand.

Ye Mingzhu: Are you spinning in circles?

When Jiang Hongyu saw Ye Mingzhu, he remembered what Aunt Jiang had said just now. His face turned red. He looked away and said, "Ahem, have you packed your things?"

"I've taken clothes for both of us. Is there anything else you need?" Ye Mingzhu handed the bag in her hand to him.

"No need. Zhuangzi is close to the county town. If you need anything, you can just go there and buy it." Jiang Hongyu took the bag and said, "Let's go now."

When the two of them left, Aunt Jiang smiled and said, "Everything is fine at home. You don't have to rush back. I'll watch Yun'an study and practice martial arts. If it's not fun at the farm, go to the county town for a stroll and come back when you feel better."

Ye Mingzhu felt like she was being kicked out and didn't react until she got into the rented carriage.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jiang Hongyu looked at Ye Mingzhu in a daze and felt a little worried.

"Are you okay? I just didn't expect that we could move so quickly. From the time we decided to go to the farm to the time we got on the carriage, it only took a quarter of an hour." Ye Mingzhu added in her heart: This is a trip that can be taken at any time.

"Well, I'm glad you're okay." Jiang Hongyu sat down, thinking about how to comfort Ye Mingzhu.

Ye Mingzhu suddenly rubbed his arm and said, "Brother Yu, do you think Sister Lin will return to the capital?"

"What?" Jiang Hongyu didn't understand.

"The last time Sister Lin went back for a few days, she was pregnant when she came back. Brother-in-law Lin must be in the provincial capital. Sister Lin, a pregnant woman, can't always live alone in a small town. Will Brother-in-law Lin send someone to pick her up?" Ye Mingzhu had many questions in her mind.

For example, why does Sister Lin live alone in the town? Could noble ladies in ancient times always live outside?

"Brother Yu, I'm talking to you." Seeing Jiang Hongyu was stunned and didn't answer the question, Ye Mingzhu waved her hand in front of him: "What's wrong with you? Are you still not fully recovered?"

"No." Jiang Hongyu spoke reflexively. Seeing that Ye Mingzhu was about to continue asking, he quickly shook his head: "I'm not familiar with the Lin family. I don't know the questions you are talking about."

"Oh, I just think that Sister Lin is pregnant. If Brother-in-law Lin is not by her side, she will be in a bad mood." Ye Mingzhu remembered hearing a saying before that pregnant women hope their husbands can be with them. It cannot relieve physical discomfort, but it can make the mind relax a lot.

"You have been lost in thought, are you worried about Mr. Lin?" Jiang Hongyu felt that his mother's judgment must be wrong.

"I'm not worried, I'm just feeling emotional." Ye Mingzhu shook her head. She just didn't expect that Lin Dongjia would get pregnant so soon.

"Okay, let's not talk about Sister Lin anymore. Can we go to the county town for a stroll this time? We didn't have a good time the last time we went there."

Ye Mingzhu quickly changed her mood and looked at Jiang Hongyu with anticipation.

"Of course, we can settle down in the farm first, and then go to the county town." Jiang Hongyu originally came to accompany Ye Mingzhu to play, so he naturally agreed.

"Then let's go to the farm, prepare some food, and send it to Uncle Yan. He has been in the county town for so long, it's a good opportunity for us to go see him." Ye Mingzhu counted on her fingers as she made arrangements.

"We need to check on the sweet potato planting tomorrow and also spend some time with Ruan Linlin. So, can we go to the county town the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Hongyu didn't care and listened to Ye Mingzhu in everything.

The two men set out around the hour of Si. When they arrived at the farm, it was just cooking time, and the entire farm was filled with smoke curling up.

There were only a few children in the village chasing and playing. When they saw the carriage, they immediately stopped and watched from a distance.

Jiang Hongyu and Ye Mingzhu got out of the carriage. Jiang Hongyu gave the copper coins in his hand to the coachman. When he turned around, several children had already run up to them.

"Boss, the boss is here. Go tell Sister Wu Yue and Sister Ruan that the boss is here."

Two children ran towards the farm, and the other children stood not far away, calling out "Dongjia" together.

Ye Mingzhu greeted them, and the children laughed and pushed each other, but no one came to Ye Mingzhu.

"Boss, you're here?" Before Ye Mingzhu reached their main courtyard, Wu Yue walked out.

"Boss, you came at the right time. Aunt Mo has made delicious food." Ruan Linlin also walked out of the house.

"Boss."

"Boss."

Three or four women came out of the house, greeted her, and then turned to Ruan Linlin and said, "Miss Ruan, we'll go back first. We'll come back after dinner."

"Okay, I'll arrange everyone's work in a while." Ruan Linlin nodded with a smile, and the three or four women left with a smile.

Ye Mingzhu was filled with questions. What had happened while she was away?
