Although Su Mengyan felt a little guilty about taking advantage of the late queen, it was a way for her to get some peace. Situ Yao did not comment on her actions. When he saw her communicating with the farmers, he did not stop her, nor did he keep asking her questions like before.
However, this person's return did cause some trouble for Su Mengyan.
The farmer's son had a nice name, Ji Jinghua. It was said that a gentleman who passed by gave the name to him when he was born.
When Ji Jinghua came back, he found two more people in the house. He was a little stunned at first, but he soon became familiar with Su Mengyan.
Although Ji Jinghua is the only person in the village who goes to school in town, he is from the countryside after all. Compared with Situ Yao, he looks much more approachable.
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken to girls much, Ji Jinghua was particularly enthusiastic the moment he saw Su Mengyan. Since returning, he had been hanging around Su Mengyan every day and even diligently prepared all of her meals.
This made Situ Yao very angry.
Fortunately, Su Mengyan was a simple person and didn't realize why Ji Jinghua was so close to her. She just thought it was out of kindness. She was polite and distant to Ji Jinghua every day, and occasionally went back to complain to Situ Yao about this man's excessive enthusiasm.
Su Mengyan didn't quite understand. Why was Ji Jinghua so enthusiastic? They didn't have any extra money on them, so what was the point of trying to please them?
Su Mengyan didn't realize that all this was because of her, she just thought it was for Situ Yao.
It is precisely because of this that Situ Yao is very confident in all of Su Mengyan's actions, but he just dislikes him a little.
Because the farmers helped a lot, Su Mengyan would go to the fields to help out in her free time. However, because of their status, they didn't dare let Su Mengyan do any hard work even if she was helping out, so she just sprinkled water on the side.
"Master!"
Situ Yao was resting his eyes in a recliner under the shade of a tree. When he heard Su Mengyan's cry, he looked up and asked calmly, "What are you doing?"
His injuries have almost healed, probably because of Su Mengyan's careful care. So although his broken leg still makes him feel a little uncomfortable, it does not affect his daily life.
But Situ Yao himself had no intention of leaving.
Every day he just sat on a recliner and watched the fun, never mentioning returning to Beijing or Princess Yunfu.
Su Mengyan couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she just stayed with him and rested in the farmer's house.
"Master, look, isn't it adorable?" Su Mengyan was holding a little puppy that had come from nowhere, and she looked at him eagerly and asked, "Can I keep it?"
It would be good even if the farmers can raise it for a period of time.
"No." Situ Yao refused cleanly and said with disgust, "It's so dirty."
Situ Yao is more or less a bit of a germaphobe. Although it is not obvious when he is with Su Mengyan, he is not so tolerant towards outsiders.
"It's not dirty." Su Mengyan looked at the puppy in her arms with a bit of grievance, and said in embarrassment: "It's really not dirty, Master, look at it, it's so cute."
Although it was a small local dog, it was handsome and cute. And most importantly, it was very pleasing to others. She had just fed it twice and the little guy started to act like a spoiled child with her.
I won't leave no matter what.
Su Mengyan's heart softened.
"I said no, and it means no." Situ Yao said with disgust.
Raising Su Mengyan alone is already a lot of trouble, so why would I need a dog? Besides, this dog looks so dirty and ugly, not at all pretty. What's wrong with this woman? Why would she like this kind of thing?
Su Mengyan lowered her eyes aggrievedly, rubbed the puppy's head, and said unwillingly: "I will give it a bath, Master, just keep it."
"If you really like it, I'll keep it for you." Ji Jinghua appeared at the right moment and said to Su Mengyan with a smile, "If you ever want to see it, just come and take a look. This way, it won't affect this gentleman, nor will it affect your enjoyment of it. How do you think?"
Su Mengyan's eyes lit up immediately: "Really?"
Ji Jinghua smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."
After all, he had studied in the town and had seen young masters with maids. Although his parents said that the two were husband and wife, seeing how they had been interacting over the past few days, it was clear that they were just a young master and a maid.
He can still fight for himself.
After saying this, Ji Jinghua was about to take the dog from Su Mengyan's hand, but before the two of them could touch, Situ Yao's voice came over coldly, "Do you really want to keep it?"
The dog that was about to be handed over to Ji Jinghua was taken back to Su Mengyan's arms. She looked at Situ Yao eagerly and nodded, "I want to raise it."
"really?"
"Seriously!" Su Mengyan nodded seriously.
"That's right." Situ Yao nodded slightly and said, "Since you want to raise it, then keep it. But whether I can take it back depends on your performance."
Su Mengyan's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely take good care of it!"
Ji Jinghua lowered his eyes.
From what I've observed over the past few days, Su Mengyan's status should be considered a relatively low-ranking maid, and Situ Yao is clearly a young master who doesn't care about his maid's life or death. He has been ordering Su Mengyan around lately, not treating her as a human being at all.
"Miss Su." Ji Jinghua snorted inwardly, then smiled gently at Su Mengyan and said, "Let me give it a bath for you. What do you want to name it?"
"I haven't decided yet." Su Mengyan didn't have any ulterior motives. She just assumed that Ji Jinghua really wanted to help. She looked at the puppy in front of her with a smile and said, "I think her color is pretty. Why not call her Peanut?"
"It's a simple and nice name." Ji Jinghua smiled.
He looked at Situ Yao with a bit of provocation and a bit of complacency in his expression. Even if he was the eldest son of a wealthy family, what could he do? Didn't Su Mengyan still smile at him?
Later he would find out whose maid Su Mengyan belonged to. At worst he could save some money and redeem Su Mengyan.
It was the first time he met a woman he liked so much.
"Yan Yan." Situ Yao saw his eyes, but he was too lazy to respond. He just looked at Su Mengyan lazily and said, "Come here."
"What's wrong?" Su Mengyan looked confused.
"Help me back." He stood up, looking weak and powerless, but his eyes swept over the dog in front of him and said calmly: "Clean this dog."
How could she help Situ Yao back after giving the dog a bath?
