After lunch, Gu Jian got soone to fetch farming tools for Gu Moyan and Tang Zijin: "Today, the two of you must plant a whole field of dicinal seedlings. Now, I’m going to take a nap, and you can head down the mountain by yourselves. When I wake up, I will co and inspect."
Seeing that Gu Jian was serious, Gu Moyan had no choice but to reluctantly take the tools and leave the house.
Tang Zijin noticed this, glanced at Gu Jian, and under Gu Jian’s smiling gaze, she trotted to catch up.
On their way down the mountain, Gu Moyan and Tang Zijin were once again surrounded and observed by a group of young ladies.
"Chubby face, I really underestimated you. Your skill at winning people over is truly impressive!"
Upon reaching the dicinal field, Gu Moyan unceremoniously began to mock Tang Zijin.
Tang Zijin knew why he was angry, but she hadn’t ant to run into the ancestor on purpose. Knowing explanations were futile, she silently took the dicinal hoe and went to the field, leaving Gu Moyan with her back.
Seeing her like this, Gu Moyan was infuriated.
Ignoring him again!!!
Is Chubby Face rebelling?
Gu Moyan took the dicinal seedlings from the dicinal farr’s hand and walked over to Tang Zijin. She dug a hole, and he planted a dicinal seedling.
Most of the dicinal fields in Tang Zijin’s estate were personally tended by her, and Gu Moyan had grown up following Gu Jian, so both of them were well-versed in planting dicinal herbs.
As such, they worked together seamlessly.
Gu Moyan watched Tang Zijin, who was focused on digging holes: "Chubby face, I sternly warn you once—stop deliberately currying favor with the ancestor. Did you hear ?"
Tang Zijin put down the dicinal hoe, frowned, and looked at Gu Moyan: "I didn’t deliberately curry favor with the ancestor."
Gu Moyan didn’t believe her and sneered: "Who are you fooling? If you weren’t trying to curry favor with the ancestor, why would you co to the dicinal field?"
Tang Zijin: "I ca here by chance."
Gu Moyan snorted with laughter: "What a coincidence." Then, he clicked his tongue, "Every other young lady is playing on Taohua Mountain, yet you’re wandering alone down here? Shouldn’t you co up with a better reason before lying?"
Tang Zijin didn’t know how to respond, she couldn’t very well say she didn’t fit in, could she?
Seeing her silent, Gu Moyan’s face showed a cold smile: "What, can’t answer?"
Tang Zijin paused for a mont, continued digging: "Say what you like, anyway, I didn’t deliberately curry favor with the ancestor. Believe it or not."
Gu Moyan grabbed Tang Zijin’s hoe, snorted coldly: "It’s been years since we t, not only have you grown a temper, but you’re also lying without blinking an eye."
Misunderstood like this, Tang Zijin really got angry, imdiately struck back: "It’s been years since we t, and Young Lord’s brain has beco even more obtuse. The ancestor already likes ; do I need to deliberately curry favor?"
Hearing this, Gu Moyan was montarily stunned, then his breathing beca rough from anger.
Well then, Chubby Face’s courage has grown; not only does she dare to retort but also insults his intellect!
If he doesn’t teach her a lesson, she might forget how high the heavens are and how thick the earth is!
Gu Moyan exerted force while gripping the hoe, causing Tang Zijin to stumble towards him.
Tang Zijin’s face directly collided with Gu Moyan’s chest, causing her eyes to redden imdiately. She dropped the hoe, held her nose, and looked at Gu Moyan with a face full of accusation.
The Young Lord is even more wicked than before!
Just monts ago, he spoke to her like that, the more she thought about it, the more aggrieved Tang Zijin felt, tears welling up in her eyes.
Seeing the tears swirling in Tang Zijin’s eyes, Gu Moyan’s eyelids twitched. He said uncomfortably: "I say, Chubby Face, can’t you change this habit of crying at the drop of a hat, making it seem like I’m bullying you."
Tang Zijin held back her tears, rebutted with a sobbing voice: "You were bullying !" With that, she turned to leave the field embanknt, not wanting to stay with him any longer.
Gu Moyan quickly grabbed her arm: "What are you doing? Are you really planning to run to the ancestor and tell on ? To have him punish ?"
Tang Zijin felt deeply hurt seeing how he looked at her like this. She shook off Gu Moyan with all her might, but failing to do so, she pouted angrily: "The Young Lord is not morally upright and thinks everyone is like you. I wouldn’t stoop so low."
Originally, seeing Tang Zijin’s reddened eyes, Gu Moyan intended to let it go, but hearing her words now, he couldn’t help but get angry again. Using his strength, he pulled her directly in front of him.
This ti he was mindful of the force, making sure not to let her bump into him, rely closing the distance between them.
At this mont, they were very close. Tang Zijin’s head was just under Gu Moyan’s chin.
Looking at Gu Moyan, who was just inches away, Tang Zijin panicked and was about to step back. However, Gu Moyan leaned forward, whispered in her ear: "Do you think I don’t know what you’re up to?"
The hot breath sprayed next to her ear, freezing Tang Zijin in place. Her heart raced, her mind went blank, and after a while, she stamred: "I...what am I up to?"
Gu Moyan looked at Tang Zijin with a half-smile: "Don’t you know why my mother invited you young ladies to Taohua Mountain this ti?"
Tang Zijin blinked; she certainly knew. The Princess Consort was matchmaking for the Young Lord.
However, it wasn’t appropriate for her to say it, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
Looking at Tang Zijin’s twinkling almond eyes, Gu Moyan felt a sudden itch in his heart, unconsciously softening his aura, losing the previous sharpness.
"You know I’m not easy to approach, so you deliberately got close to the ancestor, trying to appear before through him."
"You are indeed crafty; as soon as you arrived, you got close to the ancestor. Now you’ve achieved your goal, eating lunch with at the sa table and now out in the fields with ."
"To outsiders, doesn’t it look like I fancy you?"
"Later, when the ancestor arrives and you win him over again, who knows how he’ll try to matchmake us afterward."
"You’ve gone to such great lengths; dare you say you’re not coveting ? What, do you also want to be a Duchess?"
Tang Zijin stared at Gu Moyan blankly. After a mont, she snapped out of it, gritting her teeth and pushing Gu Moyan with all her strength, her face showing humiliation.
The Young Lord sees her so poorly!
Seeing Tang Zijin’s hurt expression, Gu Moyan’s gaze flickered, and he slightly turned his head to the side, his eyes sowhat evasive.
Did he go too far?
Tang Zijin was so infuriated her cheeks were flushed, her breathing uneven, and she gritted her teeth: "Young Lord, you can rest assured. Soone like you, I’m not worthy of you."
With that, she turned and walked toward the field embanknt.
Gu Moyan: "..."
Soone like him, what kind of person is he?
"Chubby Face, clarify what you an, what kind of person am I?" Saying this, he quickly chased after her, and as Tang Zijin raised her leg to step onto the embanknt, he reached out and grabbed her.
Perhaps using too much force, Tang Zijin was directly pulled from the embanknt, falling into the field.
