You Have Another Darling Now? / There’s Another “mian Mian” Now?
The little maid was so scared that she was covered in cold sweat, stammering, “I, I don’t know either. I only heard that that person had eaten many free meals, and caused many restaurants and shops to close down, so they went after him. I didn’t expect him to be found so easily.”
Xue Lingyu coldly snorted, glanced at the entrance of Jiang Shop where many people were gathered, their business booming, and said, “Forget it, let her be proud for a few more days. I will definitely not let her off easily next time.”
No one knows you did this, right?”
If she weren’t under Xie Yu’s watchful eye, she wouldn’t need to go through so much trouble. She could have just had someone beat Jiang Yimian up to vent her anger.
But Xie Yu has been watching her closely recently, preventing her from doing anything. She had to resort to such useless means.
The little maid quickly nodded. “Don’t worry, Miss. That day, I only instructed someone to mention the opening of Jiang Shop to that large man. It was his own decision to go there; it has nothing to do with us.”
That person realized something was wrong, but the government couldn’t trace it back to them.
Xue Lingyu was satisfied. She ignored Jiang Shop and ordered someone to drive the carriage away.
Her mother said that Xie Yu’s illness had improved significantly recently, and he would probably be preparing to return to the capital soon, so she wasn’t allowed to cause trouble.
She should be more careful recently.
At this time, in the backyard of Jiang Shop.
Jiang Yimian looked at the master and servant in front of her and said with a chuckle, “What? You’re not speaking? If you don’t speak, I’ll leave.”
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was about to leave, Song Er became anxious. He stuffed something in his arms to Lu Cijian and said with a smile, “Jiang Girl, this is a congratulatory gift that our Young Master prepared for nearly half a month. You must take a good look.”
Then, he slipped away and ran quickly.
Jiang Yimian raised an eyebrow, looked at the thing covered with red silk in Lu Cijian’s hand, and curiously asked, “What is this? A congratulatory gift for the shop’s opening?”
Lu Cijian softly hummed, lifted the red silk, handed the item over, and said softly, “I don’t know if you’ll like it. If you don’t, you can have Song Er take it back to be modified into something else.”
Jiang Yimian stared at the large bunch of golden wheat stalks in the other’s hand and froze in place.
She thought it was real mature wheat, but on closer inspection, she found that it was a large bunch of wheat stalks made of gold, each grain plump and with long whiskers.
The workmanship was exquisite, and it was incredibly realistic. If she hadn’t been standing so close, she would have thought it was just a bunch of dark-colored wheat.
Her heart skipped a beat. Jiang Yimian took the flowers and chuckled, “You really know how to win a girl’s heart.”
Anyone would love such realistic golden wheat stalks!
Not only is the meaning good, but it’s also exquisitely made. It’s clearly not something an ordinary craftsman could make. It must have taken a lot of effort to make such a large bunch.
Especially since this bunch of wheat stalks symbolizes a bountiful harvest.
If before she had no real feeling for the harvest season, but after living here for almost a year, she felt a natural joy and expectation for this word, “harvest”.
Only with a good harvest can the villagers live well.
And only with a good harvest will people have unconcealable smiles and joy on their faces.
She liked a bountiful harvest.
Lu Cijian breathed a sigh of relief, his slightly curled hand unconsciously relaxed, and his voice softly said, “Jiang Girl likes it is good.”
Jiang Yimian raised her eyebrows, staring at the person in front of her and curiously asked, “We haven’t seen each other for almost half a month, and you’ve even changed the way you address me? Or, do you have another Yimian?”
Lu Cijian was startled. He clearly didn’t expect Jiang Yimian to ask like this, and he froze in place without speaking.
Jiang Yimian suddenly felt that the wheat stalks in her hand were not fragrant anymore. She stuffed them back into Lu Cijian’s arms and said indifferently, “Young Master Lu, since you have another Yimian, don’t try to win other girls’ hearts; your Yimian will be angry.”
For the past half month, she had been worried about whether Lu Cijian had encountered any problems. It turned out that he had been enjoying the comfort of someone else’s company and forgotten about them.
Seeing that Jiang Yimian was about to leave, Lu Cijian grabbed her, his low voice filled with urgency, “There’s no other Yimian.”
Jiang Yimian turned her head with a smile, about to speak, when she met his dark, deep peach blossom eyes.
Lu Cijian’s handsome face was full of seriousness, his thin lips tightly pursed, as if suppressing something. His hand gripping her wrist was unusually strong, seeming nervous.
Jiang Yimian’s “I was just teasing you” suddenly became difficult to say. She quickly lowered her head and casually said, “Oh.”
However, her heart beat faster inexplicably. This feeling wasn’t unfamiliar. She had been attracted to others before, but after getting to know them, she felt it wasn’t suitable, and the feeling faded away.
Later, she was busy with the organization’s mission, and when she had free time, she would only go to accompany the old woman. She wasn’t very enthusiastic about relationships, so when this attraction appeared, she would deliberately ignore it.
She didn’t know if her attraction to Lu Cijian would also disappear quickly.
As she was thinking, Lu Cijian suddenly said, “I found the person who disappeared with your father that year.”
Jiang Yimian instantly came back to her senses, looked around, didn’t see Wang Fengqin’s figure, breathed a sigh of relief, and then exclaimed, “Really? That person really disappeared with Father?”
Lu Cijian nodded. “But that person suffered a great shock and is now mentally unstable, so he can’t tell us much. Would you like to go see him with me?”
Jiang Yimian quickly nodded, ignoring the slight touch in her heart, put away the wheat stalks, and left with Lu Cijian on horseback.
Wang Fengqin thought that the two of them had something to discuss and didn’t pay much attention. She helped out in the shop for a while before going to play with the two children.
Jiang Yimian and Lu Cijian rode their horses at full speed and quickly arrived at a residence.
Lu Cijian led the way, and Jiang Yimian followed closely behind, quickly arriving at the courtyard where Liu Changsong was.
As soon as they entered, they could smell a strong medicinal scent. Inside the room, a man was constantly murmuring.
The voice was loud and soft, and it sounded startling and frightening.
Song Xiaowu stared at the person on the bed, who seemed to have suddenly suffered a shock and was scared and nervous, and felt a headache.
These days, whenever Liu Changsong woke up, he would either hide in the corner of the bed, shaking with fear, or shouting to return to Apricot Flower Village. He was completely crazy, and the doctor had come several times but was helpless, unable to make him clear-headed.
Not to mention finding out about the mine from him. Now he even suspected that the man was talking nonsense.
Just as he was thinking, the person who had been hiding under the bed, trembling, suddenly climbed down from the bed, stood in the room, and shouted loudly, “I, I’m going to kill you. It’s all your fault that we can’t go home. It’s all your fault that Dazhuang’s life or death is unknown. It’s all your fault.”
I’m going to kill you and avenge Dazhuang and the villagers.”
Then, he grabbed the vase on the table and threw it forcefully at Song Xiaowu at the door.
