“Dong Sheng, there are so things here now, you find your brother tonight and stay here together,” Xie Zhinuan said. “After a few days, once I’ve moved over, you can go back ho!”
Dong Sheng nodded repeatedly.
Xie Zhinuan gave a few instructions before she packed up to return ho. Then she thought for a mont and said, “Xiaoyuan, co with . Help bring so things back, and later I’ll send you over!”
“Okay!” Xiaoyuan imdiately followed Xie Zhinuan with cheerful delight.
This was her first ti riding on a mule cart, accompanied by a dog, and she reached out to pat Routuan’s head.
Routuan looked at her for a good while before finally nuzzling her hand and snuggling up beside her.
“…” Xie Zhinuan glanced at Routuan and chuckled.
This dog sure knew how to charm the young girls.
Lucky it was a female, otherwise if it were a male, who knows what troubles it would cause.
No sooner had they left than several n erged from a corner.
“They’ve got a mule cart!”
“Must be quite wealthy…”
Wealthy…
Whose kept woman could she be? But that doesn’t seem right; there’s no one to serve her.
“Let’s watch a bit longer!”
The n discussed, thinking if she was alone, they could make their move.
Such a beautiful girl with silver in hand-if they could confine her and play with her at will…
Excitent stirred within them at the possibility.
Back in Xiaohe Village, Xie Zhinuan began instructing Xiaoyuan to help load things into the mule cart.
Clothing, bedding, and anything else she thought they could use and manage to carry were stuffed into the mule cart until it was full.
“…”
Xiaoyuan was slack-jawed with amazent.
She had never imagined that Xie Zhinuan, all by herself, could have so many belongings.
And there was a residence, which looked so comfortable and the house itself was so large.
“Miss, are you really going to live in town?”
Xie Zhinuan responded affirmatively.
In ancient tis, no matter where, the air was always good, so living in town wasn’t a problem.
She turned to Xiaoyuan, “What’s wrong?”
“Aren’t you afraid of being alone?” Xiaoyuan asked curiously.
“Afraid of what?” Xie Zhinuan laughed.
If she really were alone, she would definitely retreat into her space to sleep at night.
But how could she explain that to Xiaoyuan?
“What if you run into bad people…”
“Bad people?” Xie Zhinuan laughed.
Her laugh was gentle and carefree.
Who exactly would be the bad person, that remained to be seen!
If Xie Zhinuan were to turn nasty, she wouldn’t be a good person either…
“Let’s go!”
After locking the door, she called Routuan onto the mule cart and set off to town with Xiaoyuan.
Upon passing the grand residence across the street, Yuanbao quickly stepped out, “Miss Xie, are you going out?”
“Yes, I’m taking so things to town. I’m planning to move there!” After saying that, Xie Zhinuan smiled faintly at Yuanbao, “I’ll be leaving first!”
She drove the mule cart away.
Yuanbao was left disheveled in the wind.
“…”
In his wildest dreams, Yuanbao had not expected Xie Zhinuan to be so heartless and bold, simply moving to town like that…
He thought about informing Li Hengyi, but hesitated at the entrance of Li Hengyi’s yard.
Even if he did tell, what could it change? Given his master’s temperant, he wouldn’t trouble a young lady.
After pondering, Yuanbao decided to speak with Xie Zhinuan in detail.
Unwilling to leave her unprotected as a lone woman outside, and apprehensive she might suffer a misfortune, he called Shaniu over and instructed her to secretly protect Xie Zhinuan.
Shaniu was initially taken aback, but then nodded eagerly and cheerfully headed toward town.
Despite her tall and strong build, her steps were surprisingly light. By the ti she stealthily reached the shop in town, she’d only been a bit behind Xie Zhinuan and her group.
Xie Zhinuan signaled Xiaoyuan and Dong Sheng to carry everything inside, placing it all in the main room.
Xie Zhinuan asured the bed’s dinsions, planning to order rush mats and bamboo mats once back ho.
“Xiaoyuan, can you tidy up here? I’ll head back first!”
Xiaoyuan was exceedingly glad; eager to take on any task assigned by Xie Zhinuan, she thought of it as a sign that she might be allowed to stay.
