"Alright, I'll take you there. Although the He family's house is a bit dilapidated, Miss He Nian has kept it very clean. If there's anything wrong, just come to me."
With that, the village chief led the people to He Nian's house.
He Nian, who was fetching water to wash the dishes, saw the village chief and two strangers standing at the door. She wiped her wet hands on her clothes and looked at the village chief with a smile, "Grandpa Village Chief, what brings you here?"
"Xiao Nian, come here. This is Miss Mingyue. She wants to stay at your house. Here is the room fee."
The village chief gave He Nian five taels of silver, but He Nian scratched his head shyly and didn't take the money. "Grandpa Village Chief, our family is so poor, it wouldn't be good if we didn't take good care of them."
She knows exactly what money she should and shouldn't take.
This girl has an extraordinary air about her. She has never seen such fine silks and satins before. What will she, a commoner, do if she accidentally offends her?
Moreover, she had just transmigrated and was busy figuring out how to build a relationship with her younger siblings; she had no intention of serving the young lady.
Mingyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll just stay for a few days. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the meals, but I won't bother you with anything else. I heard you have younger siblings, so I just happened to bring a few educational books with me."
He Nian had a sudden thought: her younger siblings were indeed getting on in years. If they could read and write, they could find an easy job in the future.
Moreover, this person did not seem like a spoiled young lady. He Nian withdrew her furtive gaze, and her smile became more sincere than before. "Then I will prepare a room for you. I hope Miss Mingyue will not find it offensive."
Mingyue chuckled, "Of course not."
The village chief nodded secretly. He Nian was a clever girl and would definitely take good care of Mingyue. "Xiao Nian, we'll come over later."
"Okay, Grandpa Village Chief." He Nian didn't see the luggage, so he guessed that they had gone back to fetch it.
Perfect timing! She also reminded her younger siblings not to disturb the important person, as she felt it wouldn't be a loss for her to receive these early learning books after taking care of them for a few days.
The three returned the way they came. The village chief's courtyard was surrounded by people. Dali and Dashan were being held to one side and couldn't move. When they saw the village chief, they shouted excitedly, "Grandpa, they insisted on seeing the carriage. We didn't let them, and they even hit us!"
The village chief's heart sank, and he subconsciously apologized to Mingyue beside him, "Miss Mingyue, the villagers were just being curious, please don't be angry."
The villager who had touched the carriage awkwardly withdrew his hand, and the scene fell silent. The cheers coming from inside the carriage seemed even more abrupt: "My God, this carriage is so comfortable, even more comfortable than the lives of officials!"
"What kind of fruit is this? It's sweet and sour, and you can eat a few without anyone noticing."
Guard Lin's face darkened. He lifted the carriage curtain and stared with disgust at the two uncouth villagers inside. "Get out!"
The two burly men were startled by the sudden noise, but when they saw it was Guard Lin, they resumed their nonchalant attitude. One of them picked his nose and casually rubbed against the expensive carriage, saying, "What are you yelling for?"
He's used to being a scoundrel in the village, and nobody in the village dares to mess with him. If he doesn't enjoy such a nice carriage, he's out of his mind. So what if he breaks it?
He was all alone, penniless, and with nothing to his name, so he didn't believe the other party would dare to kill him in broad daylight.
"you!"
Seeing the other person's disgusting actions, Guard Lin drew his sword from his waist.
"Xiao Lin."
A cold voice interrupted the guard's impulse to draw his sword, and his icy gaze swept over the two trembling men. "My lord."
