Li Jing also felt that there was something wrong with this evil slave, but she watched the young master and that guy getting closer and closer, and several times when the young master could not walk, the man carried him on his back.
"Miss, what exactly is that man planning? We've all fallen on hard times. Even if he's planning something, there's nothing left for us to do, right?"
Fang Xiushui was silent. She had asked herself this question countless times. If she knew the reason, she wouldn't be so panicked.
Li Jing was used to the older girl's silence, so she asked while pulling weeds.
After finishing a pair of straw sandals, she suddenly exclaimed and muttered in a low voice.
"Girl, girl, this thief must have set his sights on you. This won't do. How could he set his sights on you? He's so despicable. Woo woo, I will never let him go."
Fang Xiushui...
Li Jing thought she had found the answer, so when Mo Yunwen caught another wild mole that night and roasted it to feed them, she forcibly pulled him aside.
"Tell me, you bad guy, are you planning to take advantage of the young lady? You can't covet a young lady, even if she's down and out."
This round girl with staring eyes is still so loyal even at this time. I have to say that Xiushui is very happy to have such a person around her.
He stuffed the coarse grain buns given by the escort officer into her hands.
"Because of your loyalty, I'll give it to you. Remember, you must always protect your master like this.
Also, from now on, both the young lady and the young master will be under my protection."
Looking at the steamed bun in her hand and then staring at the man's back, Li Jing thought of something else.
She ran back and grabbed Fang Xiushui's arm, gasping for breath.
"Miss, he said... he said that you and the eldest master will be under his protection from now on, and he also said that this steamed bun is a reward for me protecting the master. Miss, do you think... he has a crush on me?
Because of me, he is willing to take care of you. Oh, if that is really the case, I can forgive him..."
Looking at the shy girl with a smile in her eyes while chewing a steamed bun, Fang Xiushui became even more silent.
If she were to say that the black slave fell in love with this silly girl, she would definitely not believe it.
However, there was something very wrong with that person's abnormalities.
She stared into the distance and couldn't help but wonder, what on earth was there about her that was worthy of his plotting against her?
But after racking my brains, I could only think that apart from her, there was really no profit to be made from anything else.
After all, although she was the legitimate daughter of the second house, she had no good things in her hands during the years when her grandfather and Aunt Ru controlled the second house.
Even if it was my mother's stuff, it was also confiscated during this raid. Logically, my mother's dowry shouldn't have been confiscated, but who told the people who raided the house to please the people above them?
So, all the good things in their house were confiscated. Even Concubine Ru, who had been given a letter of release, was escorted to the border...
She hadn't figured out why the black slave was taking care of her, but when she was about to go to bed at night, the man actually stuffed his sleeping bag into her hand.
"This is a sleeping bag. With this you don't have to lie on the ground. If you don't know how to tie it, ask me. I'll knit another one so you can sleep well tonight."
She took it reflexively and looked at the three sleeping bags. Did it include hers, Yanhong's and his father's?
Li Jing and many other exiles were also weaving sleeping bags at this moment.
Their skills are not very good, but they are still trying their best.
Seeing that the girl was pregnant, she finished off the last few strands.
"Girl, I was worried about having to knit overtime tonight, but now it seems I don't have to. My sleeping bag is ready. I see my mother's is almost done too. Hehe, then let's tie it on and go to sleep."
Many people around cast envious glances at her, and some even circled around her and the black slave playfully.
Xiushui felt very pressured by all these stares, but she still went to tie her sleeping bag without changing her expression.
Little Yanhong was very excited and wanted to get in and experience it first.
Seeing that he had gotten rid of the depression of the previous two days and had regained some liveliness, Xiushui also became happy.
He shook his head and didn't care what the thief was planning.
Anyway, even if he wanted to do something during his exile, it would definitely not be possible.
Since someone is offering her a good deed, why shouldn’t she accept it?
When the nanny was still around, she always taught her to be open-minded and to weigh the pros and cons of certain things.
It is not advisable to act stubbornly or be superior to her.
Living safely and protecting the eldest son as he grows up is what she needs to do most.
Over the years, she has been following the teachings of her nanny and has done quite well.
Although Fang Hongmei was showing off in front of her, the truth was that the man hadn't really gained anything. She certainly wouldn't pay attention to trivial matters that didn't hurt her.
The brother and sister helped each other to fasten their sleeping bags. At this time, Li Jing ran over shyly.
"Master, take this coat with you when you go in. In case it gets cold at night, you'll know to wrap yourself up."
"Girl, remember to take your clothes with you later."
"Okay, Jingjing is becoming more careful now."
Li Jing is usually a bit careless, but I didn't expect her to be so considerate today.
Li Jing chuckled. "It wasn't me, it was that bad guy who reminded me. He said it would be cold in the late evening, so it would be best to bring something like this."
Looking at Jingjing's shy smile, Fang Xiushui was startled. Could it be that the man really fell in love with Jingjing?
If that were the case, it would be quite nice. If the black slave changed for the better, then quietly following him would be a good option.
That night, those who slept in mid-air with sleeping bags said that the swaying felt quite nice.
Even if Fang Xiushui came down from the tree the next day, he had to admit that it was much better not to feel wet all over in the morning.
As soon as I packed my sleeping bag and clothes, I smelled a special fragrance.
When I turned around, I found that there were quite a few people watching Mo Yunwen.
Little Yanhong also ran over to take a look, then came back to report to his sister.
"Sister, sister, my brother Yunwen is so amazing, he actually found a lot of crabs by the pond where he was drawing water.
Now he wanted to roast the crabs and make soup. Brother Yunwen said, it's a pity that he didn't have an iron pot. If he had a pot and oil, he could fry the crabs and eat them crispy and fragrant.
Sister, have you ever eaten fried crabs? I’ve only eaten steamed ones.”
Fang Xiushui shook her head. "Sister hasn't eaten it either. She only had steamed crabs a few times when Mom was still alive."
Later, Aunt Ru took charge of the household, and she, the eldest daughter, was told that crabs were cold in nature and could not be eaten.
If my younger brother wasn't a male from the second branch of the Fang family, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had the chance to taste it.
"Oh, I'm thinking about frying crabs now. Brother Yunwen said that he would ask me to serve them when they are ready. Hehe, I believe that crab soup with steamed buns will be delicious too."
As he spoke, the little guy started swallowing his saliva again.
Xiushui thought about it and called Li Jing to find something to eat as soon as possible.
She has to work hard to survive, but she can't take advantage of men.
