She rolled up her sleeves, squatted down, and started digging just like Su Wan.
Wei Jingzhuo watched the two people digging in the yard with great enthusiasm, then went out and called over a few more people.
These men were soldiers he had brought with him, and he had settled them in a village near Linyuan Village.
As soon as they entered, they knelt on one knee and said, "Greetings, my lord."
After glancing at the group, Wei Jingzhuo said calmly, "Rise."
His voice was calm, showing no sign of the shock he had felt upon seeing so many potatoes.
After the group stood up, they wondered why their lord had suddenly summoned them.
They are now housed in a destroyed mountain stronghold, and they have no idea why their lord did this.
But since it was their lord's order, they had no choice but to obey.
Wei Jingzhuo pointed to the yard and said, "You guys go and help dig all those things out of the ground."
At first, the group thought their lord had some important task for them, such as reconnaissance, but they never expected that they would be asked to dig.
Despite having countless questions in his mind, he still obediently rolled up his sleeves, picked up a hoe, and went to dig soil in the yard.
"Ah Wan, come here," Wei Jingzhuo beckoned to Su Wan, "I have something to tell you."
Su Wan saw several men appear in the yard at some point, digging away with great effort. Taking a break, she put down her shovel and told Lu Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, you go back first, remember to come over for dinner later."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Wan." After saying that, Lu Zhao ran to the wall in a flash, flipped over and jumped back into her own home.

She entered the house, and Wei Jingzhuo had already brought a basin of water, gesturing to her with his hands. She glanced at her hands; they were covered in mud.
Wei Jingzhuo calmly took her hand, not minding that her hands were dirty, and put them in the basin of water, washing them clean one finger at a time.
She tried to pull her hand away, but Wei Jingzhuo held it firmly, preventing her from escaping.
She had always known that Wei Jingzhuo, though seemingly aloof and noble, was actually quite domineering. Once he made a decision, he rarely changed it and never allowed her to resist.
His fingers had thick calluses, probably from holding weapons, and they tingled and numbed as they brushed against her palm.
Wei Jingzhuo seemed to be using no force, but Su Wan couldn't free her hand.
He wouldn't allow her to run away. He didn't know the reason for Su Wan's sudden change in attitude towards him, but he wouldn't let go!
