Chapter 112 Xiao'er's Sequel
"Have you really thought it through?" Chu Ci didn't expect that after the fifth prince, Xiao'er's performance would be so unexpected.
Xiao'er gritted her teeth and said, "I can't cause you any more trouble."
It seemed that Xiao'er had really made up her mind. Chu Ci did not try to stop her, but simply asked, "So what are your plans for the future?"
"With the potato seeds you gave me, I won't starve to death no matter how difficult it is." Xiao'er paused slightly and said, "But I should continue to open up new land!"
"It will be very hard to open up new land," Chu Ci advised.
Unexpectedly, Xiao'er didn't care at all. She said half-self-deprecatingly and half-jokingly, "Well, my goal is to be a small landlord. Maybe I'll get married again, or even adopt a child, a boy or a girl. Isn't that how you spend your life?"
"Okay, I agree." Xiao'er had said so much, Chu Ci really had no reason to refuse. "But..."
Before Chu Ci finished speaking, Xiao'er said anxiously, "Young Madam, if there is anything you need from me, just tell me. I will do my best."
What a lovely girl!
No wonder Yuanniang was reluctant to let go!
So, Chu Ci didn't hesitate at all: "Before you leave, I want to make a deal with you."
Although Xiao'er was a little dumbfounded, she still followed Chu Ci's words and asked, "What deal? Can I have it?"
"Yes, this is tailor-made for you." Chu Ci said, taking out a pot of chili peppers. "Do you know it?"
"This is the chili pepper you taught the cook to make before." Xiao'er was no stranger to chili peppers because one meal was provided during the "pre-marital training".
Chu Ci nodded and said, "Xiao'er, don't you want to be a landlord? How about helping me grow some peppers? I'll provide you with seeds, and when they mature, I'll buy them at a suitable price. What do you think?"
Xiao'er didn't answer, but her eyes were filled with tears. After a while, she finally asked with a sob, "I always get into trouble, why are you so nice to me?"
Chu Ci wiped Xiao'er's tears with a smile, "Because Xiao'er is a lovely and hardworking girl?"
"Is it just because of this?" Xiao'er was incredulous. "There are many girls like me."
"So, I hope that if Xiao'er meets a similarly lovely girl, you will help them when you are able to." Chu Ci finally stated his purpose.
"I will." After making her promise, Xiao'er really cried this time.
This was the first time Xiaoer cried after the divorce, not because she didn't dare, but because she couldn't. Even though Xiaoer knew her family loved her, the rumors outside did not have no effect on her. Xiaoer was just holding on.
Chu Ci walked over and patted Xiao'er's back gently: "Future landlord's wife, why are you crying? Are you reluctant to leave me and Yuanniang?"
After being interrupted by Chu Ci, Xiao Er immediately burst into laughter and could no longer cry. "I'm just simply happy."
Outside the door, seeing that Chu Ci allowed Xiao'er to leave but handed the chili pepper to Xiao'er, Yuanniang finally breathed a sigh of relief and then knocked on the door lightly.
Thump thump thump——
Chu Ci heard the voice and deliberately said jokingly: "It must be Yuan Niang. How long do you think she has been standing outside?"
Xiao'er's face flushed with shame, and Chu Ci shouted at the door: "Come in——"
When Xiao'er saw Yuanniang come in, she whispered, "I was willful and made Yuanniang worried."
Xiao'er thought Yuanniang would comfort her like before, but unexpectedly, Yuanniang said sternly this time: "Know your own temper, and be more restrained in your daily life. There won't always be someone standing in your way."
"Thank you." At this moment, Xiao'er was sincerely grateful to Yuanniang and Chuci.
Yuanniang did not answer, but bowed to Chu Ci and said, "Ding Yong has woken up. My cousin sent someone to inform you."
Chu Ci: "What's going on?"
Chu Ci thought that now that the gold mine was found, it had nothing to do with him anymore.
Could it be for Niuniu? Thinking of this, Chu Ci immediately turned to Xiaoer and said, "How about this, you go back first, and I'll send you the seeds and planting methods in a few days."
Xiao'er was not a tactless person. She immediately knelt down and saluted, then slowly retreated.
After Xiao'er left, Yuanniang immediately closed the doors and windows, then nervously pulled Chu Ci: "Master, have you noticed that the Fifth Prince is looking at you in a strange way?"
"I know, what's the matter?" Chu Ci didn't know that Yuanniang was thinking in some strange direction, so he admitted it casually.
Hearing Chu Ci's answer, Yuan Niang was almost furious. After a long while, she carefully advised, "Boss, Master Fan treats you very well. If you do this, will it be..."
Chu Ci still didn't understand Yuan Niang's train of thought. "If it weren't for Fan Jingrui and the Fan family, I would have been living a carefree life on my own long ago, okay? Tell me, when did you get bribed by that guy Fan Jingrui?"
Chu Ci was laughing and joking, not looking serious at all.
Yuanniang was almost worried to death! "Boss, even if that's the case, you don't have to..."
Yuanniang hesitated several times before Chu Ci realized something was wrong: "No need? No need what? Yuanniang, did you misunderstand something?"
Chu Ci's eyes were extremely clear, without a trace of impurities. Yuan Niang swallowed back the persuasion that was about to come out of her mouth and changed the subject to: "Does the Fifth Prince have anything else to ask of you?"
"That's not the case, but..." Chu Ci paused at the crucial point. "How about you take a guess?"
Yuan Niang finally couldn't help but explode, reaching out to grab Chu Ci's shoulder. "Boss, do you think I can guess?"
"No, no, no, I'll tell you, isn't that enough? Yuanniang, please spare me!" Chu Ci immediately admitted defeat with a smile, and told her the request he had made before leaving for Shenjia Village, as well as the things that the emperor might have refused.
It's not cheating, is it? But it's no less serious than cheating!
Yuanniang felt like she was destined to worry: "Does Master Fan know about this?"
Chu Ci still ignored Yuanniang's feelings and said, "I know! We have done the work, so it is natural for us to ask for something."
Yuanniang didn't know what to say anymore. She gritted her teeth and said, "My cousin has sent me some news. Why don't you go over and take a look?"
Chu Ci stared at Yuanniang for a long moment, then blurted out, "Yuanniang, I've noticed you're not entirely innocent. Are you in love?"
Yuanniang: Who am I doing this for?
Finally, he couldn't help but pounce on Chu Ci. However, Chu Ci was prepared and rushed to the door in a flash.
Then Chu Ci's voice came from afar: "I'm going back first. I'm sorry to trouble you here, Yuanniang.
