Peasant Woman's Decreed Life as a Wife

“Here, eat.” Du Heng stretched out his hand and placed a candy in her palm. He smiled meaningfully.

“Should I give you copper coins? But I don’t have any.” Xiang Ling ‘er stared at him from afar.

“No, you just need to take the initiative to help me when you see me in the future.” Du Heng chuckled, not surprised by her answer.

“Hmm? What do you mean?”

“In two days, I’m going to your village with your cousin-in-law and cousin to see the fungus. Remember to take the initiative to greet me,” Du Heng explained patiently. He was afraid that he did not make it clear enough and this girl did not understand him at all.

“Alright.” Xiang Ling’er didn’t think too much about it and nodded. She pointed at Xu Jiao’er in the distance, “What should we do, Miss Xu…”

“She’ll go back after she’s done with her work. Did you put on makeup?” Du Heng asked nonchalantly, pointing at her face.

“Yes, cousin-in-law helped me.” Xiang Ling’er smiled shyly. Her round eyes were full of stars, so bright that they attracted people’s attention.

“Not bad, it’s very suitable.” Du Heng impolitely looked at her face and admired her.

“I think it looks good too. My cousin-in-law’s skills are good. I wanted to introduce it to the Madams, but things went south.” She quickly shut her mouth.

Seeing that this girl did not understand the meaning behind his words, Du Heng smiled. “It’s okay. She won’t be bullied.”

“No, Cousin-in-law was bullied just now.” Xiang Ling ‘er pouted. “She’s such a good person. Why do people bully her? That’s too much.”

“You want to help her?” Du Heng began to dig a hole for a certain innocent little sheep again.

“Yes, yes, I do.” Xiang Ling’er nodded quickly.

“Come to me.”

“Hmm?”

“I’ll help you chase away the bad guys who bullied her.”

“Really? But, I’ll trouble you too much.” Xiang Ling’er felt that it was inappropriate.

“It’s okay. As long as you’re obedient, I’ll have something for you to do.”

“Really? I’m very capable. What do you want me to do?” Xiang Ling ‘er was extremely happy. She felt that her skills could finally be put to good use.

“Do you know how to press acupoints? When the guests leave, massage my shoulders again.”

“Like the servant girl beside you?” Xiang Ling’er did not think that men and women should be guarded against each other.

“Yes, you can massage me in front of Madam Hu and the others.” Du Heng felt that this girl was too easy to deceive. He was happy and worried at the same time.

“I don’t know how to.”

“It’s okay. I’ll get someone to teach you.”

“Good!” Xiang Ling ‘er hoped that she was valuable. She would never let go of an opportunity to learn. “Young Master Du, you’re the best.”

“Just call me Brother Du. I’m your cousin’s good friend, the kind that’s closer to him than anyone else.” Du Heng did not mind using his good friend to get closer to her.

When Xiang Ling’er heard this, she was very relieved. Ye Muyu and Chu Heng were both good people, so Brother Du must be a good person too.

If Ye Muyu knew that the little girl she had just acknowledged had been taken away by a wolf, she would probably cry.

He sent Xiang Ling’er away.

Xie Yu finally broke free from Xu Jiao’er’s entanglement. Seeing him, he quickly walked over and followed Du Heng’s line of sight. “What are you looking at?”

“A little white rabbit.”

“Hmm? Boss has a rabbit at home?” In private, Xie Yu directly addressed Chu Heng as Boss.

“Has Xu Jiao’er been dealt with?” Du Heng asked.

Xie Yu’s entire body instantly trembled. The youth’s face was completely green. “Don’t say anymore. I can’t bear to hear this name.”

“Haha, let’s go and have some tea.”

In the next two hours, the guests left one after another.

Xie Yu and Du Heng were the last to leave.
