Yun Ruoxi: "Things are almost done, let's go back."
Two hours later, the two best friends finally returned to the Xiao family.
When they went there, the two best friends circled the sea for quite some time, and thought that it would only take one hour to get from Taohua Village to the island. However, when they came back, they found that it would take two hours.
Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue walked into the Xiao family's house hand in hand. When the two maids Wenshu and Wenhua saw them, they hurried over.
The clerk smiled and said, "Madam Eldest Young Master, Madam Second Young Master, you are finally back. Did your trip go smoothly?"
Yun Ruoxi chuckled and said, "You've been away for so long, so obviously everything went smoothly. By the way, why is the house so quiet? Where are the others?"
Clerk: "The others have been guarding the village recently, and some are building a wall around the entrance of Taohua Village. Now that there are more and more refugees, the eldest and second young masters have organized the guards and the villagers of Taohua Village to start building the wall."
Yun Ruoxi nodded. "This drought has lasted quite a while. It's really necessary to build a city wall. Otherwise, Taohua Village won't be safe."
Mu Ruxue: "As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the sea, eat by the sea. Now that the drought has occurred, relying on the mountain is definitely not an option. As for relying on the sea, it's not just Taohua Village that can go out to sea, but other villages as well. If Taohua Village is divided, these refugees won't be able to find a way in, so they will probably give up naturally!"
Yun Ruoxi: "If they were refugees fleeing normally and couldn't find the entrance to Taohua Village, they would naturally give up for survival, because other villages have already been captured by refugees. But the seaside belongs to everyone, and anyone who wants to go out to sea can do so. The coastline is so long, and there are many places to go out to sea. They don't necessarily have to defend Taohua Village. But if someone is maliciously guiding them and insists on capturing Taohua Village, then the situation may be different."
Mu Ruxue: "Who on earth has such a deep hatred for Taohua Village that they have to attack it?"
Yun Ruoxi: "I don't know if Taohua Village has any enemies, but our Xiao family does. Don't forget that when Yongzhou was hit by the flood, the people from the second branch of the Xiao family didn't travel with us."
Mu Ruxue's face changed, and she said in surprise, "You mean the Xiao family's second branch is not dead? And there's a chance they can walk out of Yongzhou alive?"
Yun Ruoxi: "There's a saying that goes, 'Misfortunes can last for a thousand years.' The people from the Xiao family's second branch must be like that indestructible cockroach, still alive and well somewhere."
Yun Ruoxi was absolutely right in what she said, because at this moment, the people from the second branch of the Xiao family were indeed on their way to escape, and were already heading towards Qiongzhou.
Mu Ruxue: "It's really haunting. If someone from the Second House shows up, how can we in the First House have so much peace and quiet?"
Yun Ruoxi: "We are now ready to live on the island. Taohua Village is not our only way out, so there is no need to worry. Even if someone from the second house comes, it will only cause us some trouble, but there is a solution."
The two best friends talked as they walked towards their respective embroidery buildings.
The two little girls, Wenshu and Wenhua, followed behind him quietly, without glancing around, with only their own wives in their eyes.
Since they knew that everyone else had gone to the village entrance to help, Yun Ruoxi and Mu Ruxue returned to their respective embroidery buildings to rest.
I have been busy setting up formations on the island these two days and really haven't had much time to get a full night's sleep. This time I came back, I lay on the soft bed and fell asleep in a short while.
Yun Ruoxi slept so soundly that she didn't even notice when Xiao Jingrui came back and slept with him in his arms.
The next morning, Yun Ruoxi woke up on a hard chest, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she met Xiao Jingrui's deep gaze.
"Madam, you ran away so fast! You forced me to go back to being a vegetarian just as I started eating meat. Madam, you are so cruel."
Yun Ruoxi instantly understood what he meant and laughed dryly, "Hehe, isn't this because I have things to do at home, so I thought I should deal with the most important things first."
Xiao Jingrui: "Since Madam said so, can you compensate me for my hurt feelings?"
Yun Ruoxi asked knowingly, "Then what compensation do you want?"
Xiao Jingrui turned over and said with a chuckle, "Let me indulge you for once. Don't stop halfway, okay?"
Yun Ruoxi smiled indulgently, "Okay."
These words were like an invitation, which made Xiao Jingrui unable to hold back any longer and kissed the lips he had been longing for.
It’s said that young guys have good physical strength. After an hour, Yun Ruoxi collapsed on the bed exhausted, not wanting to speak, her whole body limp.
Xiao Jingrui took Yun Ruoxi's hand and played with it seriously.
Yun Ruoxi, who had just woken up, fell asleep again due to exhaustion.
Xiao Jingrui chuckled, kissed Yun Ruoxi's slender back, then stood up and went to the village entrance to help.
Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct the clerk, "Remember to prepare lunch for the eldest young master's wife. Let her sleep for another hour at most, otherwise she will be starving."
The clerk lowered his head and said respectfully, "Yes, Master. I'll take note of it."
When Yun Ruoxi woke up again, she saw the clerk with an ambiguous look in her eyes, "Madam, I'm hungry. Lunch is ready. The young master is really considerate of our madam. He even made special arrangements before leaving. I must make sure that madam has lunch, for fear that she will starve."
It was the first time that Yun Ruoxi was teased by an underage girl. She said angrily, "You little girl, you are teasing me. Let's see if you can still say such shameless words when you find someone you like in the future."
The clerk pouted and stated his position, "I will never marry. I will always serve the eldest young lady."
Yun Ruoxi: "Don't say it so early. Who knows, maybe you will really meet the person you like."
The clerk shook his head seriously. "Although what Madam said makes sense, I have long seen clearly the matter of getting married. When I was working at the pawnbroker, I met a good sister who was also sold to a wealthy family as a maid. I originally thought that I had met my beloved and could live a stable life. Although she was just a servant, it was great to be able to live an ordinary life. But who knew that the good times would not last long, and this servant actually had someone else outside. A servant is like this, let alone those rich and powerful people. So this servant has summed up a lesson, that is, all men are bad. For the sake of my own health and future happiness, it is best not to marry. Just like the eldest young lady's wife said, you must be capable and have a career. Even if you don't get married, you can still live a free and unrestrained life."
