"What does she want to do?"
There was some impatience in Shanshui's eyes.
In the past two years, many girls from the neighboring village were hanging around him, but later, they were scared away by him.
Although he had only met Xu Yingying twice, he hated her very much.
In the past, he had no one in his heart and was impatient with other girls, but he didn't think there was anything annoying about them. But now that he has Cheng Yue in his heart, he finds Xu Yingying annoying.
"She said that if she couldn't have it, she would rather destroy it than let others have it."
Cheng Yue smiled.
"Oh! Ayue, don't pay attention to her. I'll get someone to keep an eye on her and won't let her bother you anymore. Don't even think about today happening again."
Shanshui sneered, then spoke solemnly to Cheng Yue.
Just now he wanted to pull Cheng Yue away and not talk to Xu Yingying.
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say. Don't be upset. I know all the little tricks girls use, and I'm not afraid of her. Let's go and watch people rowing dragon boats. Where are these dragon boat racers from? Why haven't I heard of them before?"
Cheng Yue didn't want to talk about other girls in front of Shanshui, so she changed the subject.
"All kinds of businesses in the city can sign up, as long as they can gather enough people. The prizes are provided by the government, and Lord Ji will also give private rewards, so everyone's enthusiasm is very high!"
Shanshui took Cheng Yue's hand and walked towards the shore, explaining as he walked.

At noon, Ji Mingxuan invited a few people to have dinner at Zuixianlou. During the meal, he talked about Xue Hanyu.
Xue Hanyu was willing to live in the Cheng family, but on the condition that the Cheng family accepted her money. She would give fifty taels of silver for food and lodging every month.
She knew that if she didn't insist on giving it to the Cheng family, they would not accept it no matter what.
She can't do anything, let alone go to the fields, she can't even do basic housework. She has never taken care of a child. She is asked to stay in the Cheng family without any money. She may think it's nothing for two or three days, but she will definitely feel embarrassed after a long time.
Ji Mingxuan also told Xue Hanyu what he meant.
Cheng Shun happened to be there, so he agreed and promised to take good care of Xue Hanyu.
At this time, Cheng Shun was not greedy for money. He just felt sorry for the girl. She insisted on doing this. If they insisted on not coming, the girl would definitely not come.
After getting used to living in the city, it would be nice to change places and move to the countryside.
After dinner, Cheng Shun gave Cheng Yue a special task, asking her to visit Xue Hanyu and write down everything in Xue Hanyu's house. While she was not here for a few days, she would decorate the house for her.
Cheng Yue had originally planned to go see her.
After dinner, Shanshui sent Cheng Wen and Cheng Shun back to the village, and Cheng Yue went to Shen's house.
"Hey, you're here to see Hanyu too?"
As soon as he arrived at the door of Shen's house, Cheng Yue saw Cheng Jinxing coming out.
"That's right! Wasn't Aunt Hanyu's maid beaten to death? She's alone now. I saw she'd lost a lot of weight, so I went to buy her some delicious food. I've seen that maid buy snacks for her in those shops before!"
Cheng Jinxing said very calmly.
Cheng Yue was originally surprised, but when he saw Cheng Jinxing was so calm, he didn't think much about it. He patted him on the shoulder, praised him a few words, and let him go to the yamen to work.
In the huge Shen Mansion, apart from the doorman, there is only one coachman and two maids.
The coachman and the maid were both hired by Ji Mingxuan, only the doorman had always been a servant of the Shen family.
