Yu Feng had time to rest only after he dealt with the bandits. He couldn't help but think of Jiang Xueying's extraordinary skills when he first met her. How could an unpopular general's daughter have such skills?
With too many doubts in his mind, Yu Feng immediately sent people to investigate Jiang Xueying's identity. His subordinates quickly found clues and learned about Jiang Xueying's past over the years.
He became suspicious. Jiang Xueying's father was in opposition to him, and he couldn't help feeling disgusted. He held the rice paper in his hand, and his eyes became increasingly cold.
Now that the bandit issue has been resolved and traffic has returned to normal, Jiang Xueying checked the growth of her own vegetables and was talking to Qiao Yunnan about canceling the escort and vegetable delivery. After all, this was a considerable income.
Qiao Yunnan could understand this point. After all, it was forced by the situation at the time. Now that the threat of bandits is gone, this expenditure is no longer necessary.
Yu Feng, who came to see Jiang Xueying specifically, became more suspicious when he heard Jiang Xueying's extraordinary conversation and cautious thinking.
“Ahem!”
The sound at the door made Jiang Xueying and Qiao Yunnan, who were talking, stop. They looked over unconsciously and saw Yu Feng leaning against the door.
"I don't mean to bother you two, but I have something I want to ask Miss Jiang."
Obviously, she was the daughter-in-law of Yexingzhou, but Yu Feng kept calling her Miss Jiang from beginning to end. Jiang Xueying had no idea about these titles and didn't care. However, Qiao Yunnan on the side frowned unconsciously and looked at him again.
Although he was polite verbally, Yu Feng's face was cold and indifferent. If you didn't know, you would think he came to collect a debt.
Jiang Xueying frowned. She could feel his dislike for her when they were in the mountains before. She didn't know why he came to see her this time.
"Okay, then you go ahead and I'll go take care of things first."
Qiao Yunnan turned to look at Jiang Xueying, and only left quickly after seeing the latter nod.
Only when Jiang Xueying and Yu Feng were the only ones left in the yard did she suppress her suspicions.
"I wonder why Lord Yu came to see me? Could it be that he wants to give me some money for my meritorious service in suppressing bandits?"
Looking at the woman whose eyes lit up when she mentioned money, Yu Feng instantly felt annoyed. But when he thought about her conversation with that man just now, he found it a little strange.
"There will definitely be a reward, but I just heard Miss Jiang talking about escorting and delivering food. It seems that Miss Zhou is also very good at business."
"Master Yu, you must be joking. I am just a country woman who only knows how to farm. On weekdays, my family of three can barely make ends meet. Later, thanks to the kindness of my fellow villagers, I was able to start a small business."
Jiang Xueying smiled, with a teasing look in her eyes.
Yu Feng was a little annoyed that he didn't get the information he wanted, and then he continued to ask, "Miss Jiang may be too modest. I just have a question. From what I saw in the mountains that day, Miss Jiang was able to deal with so many men by herself. It seems that her skills are extraordinary. It really surprised me."
As he spoke, his sharp eyes locked on the woman, as if he had already caught her flaw.
"skill?"
Jiang Xueying showed a surprised expression, then smiled shyly, "Master Yu, you are joking. What kind of skills do I have? They are just the result of my daily battles with wild game in the mountains. My family didn't have any income in the past, so when we were pushed to the limit, we could eat anything. I'm really sorry to make you laugh, Master Yu."
"......"
These words really made Yu Feng not know how to respond, just like a heavy punch hitting cotton without any effect.
Even though I knew she was lying, I couldn't refute it.
At this moment, the door of the main room was pushed open, and Ye Xiaoyu walked out rubbing her eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she looked up and saw a tall man standing not far away. She came to her senses instantly and ran towards him with some surprise.
"Uncle Yu, you are here."
Seeing her, Yu Feng's cold facial features softened a little. He bent down and supported the little girl who was unable to stop due to inertia, his eyes full of love.
"Xiaoyu, slow down, be careful not to fall."
After Ye Xiaoyu stood still, he still couldn't calm down. Although they had met each other on the mountain last time, the circumstances at that time were rather special and they couldn't have a good conversation. They hadn't seen each other for many years.
"Uncle Yu, please come in with me. I have a lot of questions to ask you."
As he spoke, Ye Xiaoyu pulled everyone inside, not noticing Jiang Xueying who had a grim look on her face standing beside him.
Yu Feng was also very obedient and forgot to continue asking about Jiang Xueying.
Seeing Ye Xiaoyu completely ignoring her, Jiang Xueying couldn't help feeling sad, but she also knew that the two might have something to talk about, so she didn't go over to disturb them and continued to busy herself with her own things.
After arriving in the inner room, Ye Xiaoyu looked at him expectantly, and after pulling him to sit down, he anxiously asked: "Uncle Yu, why are you here? Do you know where Ye...my father went?"
"This...I don't know. I have been looking for him for a while but couldn't find him, so I took this opportunity to come and see him. I didn't expect that there is still no news about him."
Seeing the visible disappointment on the girl's face, Yu Feng felt a little ashamed, but he really didn't know the whereabouts of Yexingzhou, otherwise he would have told her the truth.
Ye Xiaoyu knew that he would not lie, and she felt even more sad. When Ye Xingzhou left without saying anything, they almost died in the fire. However, it was a blessing in disguise. It was just that Ye Xingzhou had not come back, so they were not worried that it was fake.
"But don't worry, young lady. I will find Xingzhou's whereabouts as soon as possible and inform you. You and... Young Master must protect yourselves!"
"Well, don't worry."
Afterwards, Yu Feng reminded Ye Xiaoyu of many things, mainly because he was worried that she would be bullied by Jiang Xueying. He stopped talking only when he heard the latter repeatedly emphasize that she was fine, but he was still worried in his heart.
When leaving, Yu Feng glanced at Jiang Xueying who was busy in the yard, and the sharpness in his eyes reappeared.
No matter what, his suspicion of this woman never faded. There were always some things fishy about her background and her actions.
"Miss Jiang, I have something else to do so I won't bother you any more. Please take good care of the two children."
"Master Yu, what you said is a little funny. Of course I will treat my own child well."
Jiang Xueying looked back at him and said calmly, "Then Master Yu, take care. I won't see you off."
There was really no problem to be found in her words. Yu Feng pursed his lips and could only turn around and leave. He still had a lot of things to do now, and he could only think of other things later.
