Chapter 212 Someone Was Arrested
Ye Wan's face turned cold, and her imposing aura startled Shen Pi, making the people around her even more hesitant to move.
"Lord Shen, this..."
"Hurry up and do it! What are you afraid of, a country girl like her?" Shen Pi was furious.
Ask, ask, ask? What a load of rubbish!
With that time, we could pull out all these weeds.
"Lord Shen, I am doing something good for the people. If you disturb the seedlings in this field, I will break whichever hand you use to pull them out. Even if the higher-ups blame me, that's still my word!"
Before meeting King Jing, Ye Wan probably wouldn't have said those words. After meeting him, she was certain that King Jing really wanted the people to have enough to eat.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have given her, a woman, such an important position.
Shen Pi laughed in anger, "Fine, fine, Ye Wan, isn't that right? I'll remember you!"
This woman was truly outrageous.
"You'd better remember that, and take a detour if you see me in the future." Ye Wan's eyes didn't change at all.
Shen Pi snorted coldly and turned to leave with his men.
Jiao Zhang was watching from not far away, holding a hoe.
The fish were watching too.
This was the first time Shen Pi and Ye Wan had faced off, and Ye Wan clearly had the upper hand.
“Madam Ye, Lord Shen comes from a noble family. If you offend him, you’re likely to have a rough time.”
Seeing that Shen Pi had really left, a woman spoke softly.
“This has nothing to do with you. You’re just doing what I say. That’s what you should say when people ask.”
After hearing this, those who were initially worried stopped worrying.
Some people even spoke up for Ye Wan.
"Madam Ye is a very good person; she's considerate of us."
"Madam Ye is indeed very good." Yu'er's throat was a little dry.
He looked at the person not far away, who seemed to be shining in the crowd. Could such a person really have been born into a farming family?
With Ye Niangzi like this, his previous thoughts seemed even more sinister.
Jiao Zhang frowned and lowered his head to hoe the ground, stroke by stroke.
Ye Wan offended Shen Pi, and Shen Pi is the kind of person who never wants to suffer a loss.
That's it, he's just a farmer, he doesn't want to get involved in so many things.
"Mom was so cool just now, she's exactly the kind of noble lady I admire."
During the break, Er Ya looked at Ye Wan with shining eyes.
Ye Wan would occasionally bring her three children with her to teach them by example, mainly because she didn't want them to grow up to be lazy and ignorant of farming.
"A noble lady? You want to be a noble lady in the future?" Ye Wan looked at Er Ya.
Er Ya was a little embarrassed. "Mother, didn't you already know that a long time ago?"
She used to think of herself as a rich young lady who had been separated from her family and living away from home, or a princess who had been lost among the common people.
Since recognizing her mother, she has never thought about it again, but what girl from the slums doesn't dream of being a rich heiress?
"Alright, then let's start learning how to be a noble lady from today onwards." Ye Wan smiled, not trying to discourage Er Ya.
If Lin Anyuan really succeeds in the rebellion, he might be able to get an official position, and then his three daughters would be young ladies too.
Sanya chimed in from the side, "Second sister, are you stupid? What's so great about being a noble lady? You never leave the house, you've never even stepped out of the house. Haven't you read enough of those storybooks yet?"
"Sanya, you..."
Er Ya had only spoken half a sentence when someone came over noisily from the other side.
"Lady Ye! We've caught a madman!"
"This man rode his horse straight into the village, trampling several seedlings to death!"
A dirty-looking man was tied up by his hands; he looked quite young.
"What kind of seedlings were trampled to death?" Ye Wan stood up.
"It's potato sprouts!"
"Madam Ye, lock this man up and make him work. We absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"
"Yes, I don't know where he fled from! Letting him work is a way of taking him in and giving him a way to survive!"
Everyone was talking at once, when the bound man suddenly looked up and stared blankly at Ye Wan.
"Lady Ye?!"
"Lady Ye, I've finally found you! Please save me!"
Ye Wan recognized the voice and paused for a moment before realizing who it was.
"You're an inkstone?!"
Ye Wan looked at the dirty person in front of her in surprise, and upon closer inspection, it really was an inkstone.
How did a clean-cut young boy end up like this?
"Madam Ye, it's me, Yantai. My young master has been poisoned and is on the verge of death. I've come to you to beg for medicine!" Yantai knelt down with a thud.
"How did you get poisoned again?"
Ye Wan frowned. "Come with me. It's not convenient to talk here."
Ye Wan had someone loosen the inkstone and led him to the temporary resting shed to talk. The others tactfully stayed away.
"You've arrived. Who's taking care of your young master?"
Liu Wenshu always carries his inkstone with him, so this time it must be serious.
"It's Greenie, Greenie is a maid of the Liu family. The young master demanded a contract of indenture from her, she..."
Just as Yantai was about to say that she was now the young master's nominal concubine, Ye Wan took out a medicine bottle and then took out a dried Ganoderma lucidum from her purse.
"I have some detoxifying pills here that the doctor prescribed before. I don't know how effective they are, but you can take these back and use them..."
"It won't be used in medicine anymore; give the Ganoderma lucidum directly to your young master."
It's said to be made into medicine, but there might be many twists and turns in the process.
She gave Lin Anyuan ginseng directly and he was fine, so Liu Wenshu should be fine too.
The old lady of the Liu family had been protective of her, and Liu Wenshu was also a very good person; Ye Wan didn't want to see him die.
"Will this work?" Yantai looked at the dried Ganoderma lucidum with some surprise.
Ye Wan said, "Since you've come to me, it proves that you and your young master trust me. Take the medicine back with you."
Hopefully, it's not too late.
"Madam Ye, who is that person? Do you know him?"
No sooner had the inkstone left than someone came to inquire about it.
It wasn't that I was specifically looking for news about him; I was just curious.
"He's an old friend from my hometown, here to buy things for his master," Ye Wan said dismissively.
I hope the inkstone goes back safely.
Not two days after this incident, Ye Wan heard that Lady Lin, who served Prince Jing, had returned.
It was delivered by the most trusted guards of the Prince of Jing. Jizhou City has already been captured, and Lin Anyuan's reputation has spread even more widely in Ganzhou.
Ye Wan was happy for him too.
He also sent some homemade pastries to Mrs. Lin as a way of thanking her for the gift she had given him last time.
Originally, it was thought that it would be returned, but Mrs. Lin accepted it and said she liked it very much.
When Ye Wan went to request an audience, she was refused.
This completely dispelled her idea that Madam Lin was an acquaintance. If she were truly an acquaintance, why would she avoid seeing her?
Just as Shen Pi was about to make a move, he received a warning from Madam Lin.
Of course, Ye Wan was unaware of this.

"Master, I've caught a hapless lad. He's quite strong, and I think he's a good candidate for military service."
"Hurry up and bring that kid up here!"
