Looking at the dark sky outside the window, Aunt Hong frowned, a look of worry on her face.
It’s already dinner time, why hasn’t the young master come back yet?
Really worried, Aunt Hong got up and prepared to go out to look for someone. The next second, she saw An Ci and Fugui walking in from outside.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, when her eyes fell on An Ci, who was covered in mud and the small shovel in her hand, Aunt Hong suddenly stopped.
Even Fugui, who followed her out, was not spared. His pure white fur looked like it had rolled in the mud, and his original color could no longer be seen.
“…”
Did they go mining?
"Auntie Hong, is the meal ready? I'm so hungry." An Ci threw the small shovel in the corner and asked while taking off his coat.
Aunt Hong came back to her senses, the shock still in her eyes, "How did it get so dirty? Did you fall because you ran too fast?"
Seeing that she had misunderstood, An Ci smiled and said, "I didn't fall. I went digging."
Digging the ground?
Aunt Hong thought she had misheard and scratched her ears. "Where did you go?"
"Digging the ground." An Ci took off his dirty coat, rolled it up into a ball, and held it in his hand. "That piece of land near the lake is huge. It would be a waste if I didn't grow something. I plan to grow some vegetables and raise two or three chickens and geese."
Young Master, are you mainly growing vegetables?
She also wants to raise chickens and geese?
Aunt Hong was overwhelmed, looking at An Ci with a mixture of laughter and tears, "Young Master, there are plenty of these things, you can buy them anytime."
"Buying crops is no match for growing your own." An Ci shook his head, his eyes sparkling. "I've already reserved the land. Tomorrow I'll ask Grandpa for a few people to help me plow the land."
Then I can build a grape trellis and a swing, it would be perfect just thinking about it.
Seeing her excited look, Aunt Hong felt her scalp tingling. She couldn't imagine that the luxurious garden would be turned into a farm vegetable garden. Isn't that a waste of resources?
Besides, how could the head of the family agree to let her go farming?
Never mind. Maybe the young master was just in a spur-of-the-moment mood and would forget about it tomorrow after a good night's sleep. Aunt Hong changed the subject and said, "Look at how muddy you are. You should go upstairs and take a shower first."
She walked over, took An Ci's coat with one hand, and led her upstairs with the other.
Fugui followed slowly behind.
When he returned to the room, An Ci was very hungry. He took a piece of biscuit and ate it first. When he turned around to give one to Fugui, he found that the biscuit had disappeared.
"Fugui, Fugui..." She walked inside, eating something, her voice a little unclear.
Perhaps hearing her voice, Fugui ran out from the inner bedroom with something like a sachet in his mouth.
Running up to her, Fugui spat what he had in his mouth at her feet.
"Ahh." It called out, as if signaling her to look.
An Ci looked at the embroidered sachet on the ground and raised her eyebrows slightly. Where did this thing come from in her bedroom?
She stuffed the remaining biscuit into her mouth, bent down to pick up the sachet on the ground and looked at it.
You know what, this sachet is embroidered quite beautifully.
An Ci took the sachet closer and smelled it, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
She narrowed her eyes, looked at the sachet in her hand, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
It's only been a few days, and someone is already trying to take action against her.
"Young Master, it's time to take a bath." After preparing the bath water, Aunt Hong came to find her.
An Xi concealed the deep thought in his eyes, turned around, and still had that innocent smile on his face.
"Auntie Hong, what is this?" She raised the sachet in her hand and asked with feigned curiosity.
Aunt Hong glanced at the sachet in her hand and explained with a smile, "A Xiu heard that you had a high fever and just recovered, so I specially sewed a sachet for you. It contains some medicinal herbs that are good for your health. They say that wearing it for a long time can strengthen your physical fitness. I thought it would be inconvenient for you to wear it on your body, so I hung it on the head of your bed."
An Ci was puzzled, "Who is Ah Xiu?"
Aunt Hong said, "A Xiu is my cousin. She just came to settle down five years ago. She is in charge of taking care of the greenhouse."
An Ci's long eyelashes drooped slightly. Aunt Hong was the person her mother trusted the most. There was no doubt about her loyalty to her mother and her kindness to her.
But it’s hard to say about my cousin Aunt Hong.
There are many kinds of medicinal herbs in this sachet. They seem to be non-toxic, but in fact, a special medicinal herb - Broken Heart Powder - is mixed in.
The herb, Broken Heart Powder, is both good and evil. It's harmless if used properly, but long-term use can turn it into a toxin. Initially, it can cause confusion and weakness, and ultimately, mental decline, hallucinations, and self-harm. It's practically a murder invisibly...
If this thing were to hang at the head of her bed for a long time, it would undoubtedly be a death warrant.
An Ci tightly grasped the sachet. If she had not been good at medicine, she would not have discovered the secret of the sachet. She would have died without knowing how she died.
The fact that he could harm a three-year-old child shows how vicious his mind is.
She has finally been given a chance to live again. If anyone dares to harm her, don't blame her for being inhumane.
She raised her head, a smile on her lips, "Auntie Hong, please take me to meet your cousin tomorrow. I want to thank her in person."
Aunt Hong smiled and said, "What are you thanking me for? It's just a sachet."
An Ci shook his head, "No, Mommy said you have to say thank you if you accept something from someone."
