"Don't you trust me?" Chuntao looked a little hurt.
Wen Yuan has his own principles. Even if she is like this, he will not be soft-hearted and tell her those things, although it is not something worth hiding.
But if she doesn’t want to say it, she just doesn’t want to say it. This is her own right.
"Do I want to leave here?" When Chuntao asked, she deliberately lowered her voice for fear of being heard by people passing by the house.
Her actions made Wen Yuan increase his trust in her, but she still didn't want to talk about it now, "Why don't you go back first? I will go find you when I feel confused."
Seeing this, Chuntao had no choice but to go back first.
But after she left, another woman found Wen Yuan, the most favored woman around the second master - Lian Xi.
I heard that this woman took the initiative to throw herself into the arms of the second master during a plunder down the mountain.
Wen Yuan had no impression of her and no special liking for her.
But as a guest, she also prepared hot tea to entertain this woman, "I remember that you and I have never had any contact, why did you come to my place suddenly?"
Wen Yuan is a straightforward person, so as soon as the woman walked in the door, she got straight to the point.
"I'm here to remind you not to trust Chuntao."
Hearing this, Wen Yuan frowned, "Why? You must also know that I have a very good relationship with her. What do you mean by coming to me directly like this?"
"I just want to tell you that she has bad intentions." Lian Xi has a good temper, and she is not angry when Wen Yuan talks to her with such an attitude.
But Wen Yuan was very suspicious of her purpose of coming here today, "So...are you going to take me with you both of you?"
"That's not what I meant." Lian Xi suddenly found that he couldn't make sense with Wen Yuan.
She thought about what to say, and finally said her thoughts directly, "You must also know how much attention you have received in the village. Countless eyes are staring at you, and I am no exception."
This was somewhat believable. Wen Yuan relaxed his guard a little and invited her to sit down and have some snacks together. "What do you want to say? There's no need to talk about it. Just say it."
"What I want to say is that we can all see your every move, so even I know that you want to leave the village. Do you think others can't know? Do you think I really don't know?"
Lian Xi ignored the expression on Wen Yuan's face and continued: "I heard the conversation you just had. She asked you if you wanted to leave the mountain village because she wanted to take you down the mountain."
Want to take me down the mountain? This is a good thing. Wen Yuan was thinking this in her heart, but she didn't show it on her expression.
"Do you think she is so kind? Helping you go down the mountain is just because she thinks you have affected her weight in the eyes of the third master, so she said such things."
What is this woman talking about? Wen Yuan's expression gradually turned ugly, "Keep talking, I'm listening."
Although Lian Xi is beautiful, she really has no brains. What she said next made Wen Yuan want to laugh, "I can see these days that you really admire me, so you must not listen to that old woman and leave. Shanzhai, she just wants to trick you into leaving because the third master is also interested in you."
Not to mention the third master, even the second master who lives in her room is very fond of Wen Yuan.
This kind of man who goes around robbing women from good families has no idea what he is sincere and single-minded. He just likes whoever is good-looking.
"How did you know that I admire Mr. Lu?" Wen Yuan couldn't help it anymore. She really wanted to know what was going on in this woman's heart. Why did she think she liked Mr. Lu?
How could I like a person who burned, killed and looted everywhere?
Lian Xi gently pushed Wen Yuan with the hand holding the handkerchief, "Oh, stop pretending, who can't see it? You are so gentle and considerate to our uncle."
Being gentle and considerate is to win over Mr. Lu, not because you like him, because only when his heart is always in her, can you stay safe and sound until someone comes from Dingnan Palace or Wanmoyuan.
"I'm not necessarily nice to him because I like him, but it may also be because I want to protect myself. Do you understand?" She rolled her eyes at Lian Xi, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you, go out, I'm very I’m tired and want to rest.”
Wen Yuan originally thought that the matter was over, but who knew that Master Lu would come to ask her the next day if she wanted to leave her.
"I, when did I say these words again?" Except yesterday when I was confused.
"Didn't you tell them that you didn't really love me, but just to protect yourself?" Mr. Lu looked very disappointed, "I am good enough to you, but you can actually say such a thing , you are really ungrateful."
Wen Yuan immediately understood that it was the woman Lian Xi who pretended to be stupid to trick him yesterday, and turned around and told Mr. Lu.
But she had nothing to defend. Since she could say those words, it meant that she was not worried that Mr. Lu would come to trouble her.
"Yes, that's what I said."
Wen Yuan tried it, but her demonic power still didn't come back, so she chose to continue pretending to be pitiful, "I said it yesterday, because I was brought to the village by you, and I really want to go home, where I have lived since I was a child. The environment is very different and I’m not used to it. Can you understand me?”
She took the initiative and walked to Mr. Lu's side, "I know you are very kind to me, but you can't control my homesickness."
"Then tell me, what does your home look like? What do you want?"
After hearing his words, Wen Yuan really began to recall his room in Dingnan Prince's Mansion, "My home... My room will be hung with lavender curtains, and there will be fragrant fantasy grass all year round... and there will be lightness." The pure white silk quilt...there are so many things that I can’t even name them.”
It was obvious from Master Lu's expression that he didn't understand what Wen Yuan said, "So the reason why you are in a bad mood is because you miss home, right?"
"Yes. And, wouldn't you rather believe those women's words than your pillow?"
Wen Yuan's pitiful eyes were filled with glistening tears. Finally, her eyes couldn't bear it anymore, and big teardrops fell heavily on the back of Master Lu's hand, making a slapping sound.
The man was completely defeated by this tear. He turned around and comforted Wen Yuan. He couldn't remember the reason why he was angry at all. "Okay, don't cry. If you have anything, just tell me. I understand... …I was also wrong about this, actually believing Lian Xi’s words.”
"No, I'm too pretentious..." Wen Yuan understands the benefits of showing weakness appropriately, so she pretends to be coquettish now. In fact, only she knows what she is thinking.
Seeing how weak and helpless she looked, Mr. Lu couldn't bear to say anything. He didn't know where to conjure a basket of cherries for her.
"How can there be cherries? There are no cherries in the current season." Wen Yuan was a little happy. This kind of thing is rare even in the capital, let alone in such a mountain where there is lack of food and clothing.
The man was as happy as a child, "Don't worry about it. Anyway, only you have it and no one else has it."
"Thank you."
"Why do you and I need to say thank you?" After saying this, the man seemed to have remembered something and said: "You can't share this with others. You are always like this. You can't help but give up the good things I bring you. Share it with others, and you end up not eating much yourself.”
Wen Yuan lowered her head and ate the cherries silently, and soon she devoured all the few cherries.
The next day, Wen Yuan took the initiative to find Lian Xi, and the two of them understood each other's thoughts when they looked at each other.
"It looks very similar to pretending to be a fool. Is it because you are a fool?" Wen Yuan's attitude was very bad, which made Lian Xi feel unhappy.
But she couldn't do anything to Wen Yuan, so the two of them could only compete with each other to show off their skills.
"Looking at your arrogant look, I guess you were so coquettish yesterday that I asked my uncle to forgive you."
Although Lian Xi is stupid, she is still very good at analyzing women's thoughts.
Wen Yuan did not deny her statement, and threw the cherries that he spit out yesterday at the other party's face, "Not only did the uncle forgive me, but he also gave me a basket of cherries. I wonder if you have any?" Have you ever eaten it?”
"What? Cherry?" Lian Xi didn't believe what Wen Yuan said, "How can there be cherries in this season? It's impossible."
But when she picked up the cherry pit on the ground and looked at it, she realized how wrong she was.
Not only did the uncle not blame her, he even brought this woman something that did not belong to this season.
Wen Yuan's guess at that time was where he had snatched it from. Finally, after asking, he found out that it was indeed stolen from a wealthy businessman. He heard that it was a cherry from the Western Regions.
"I..." The woman looked at Wen Yuan for a long time and couldn't say a word.
Wen Yuan stared at her with gloating, "What are you talking about? Tell me."
"I..." Lian Xi hesitated for a long time, "I shouldn't have done that...I...don't let me drive me away."
In this village, the boss has the right to drive anyone away, and in such a deep mountain forest, being driven out of the village means facing lynx beasts, and there is a high probability that they will be eaten.
Wen Yuan didn't want to embarrass her. Anyway, he wouldn't live here forever. "Okay, I won't embarrass you. Just take care of yourself. Isn't it good to live a good life here?"
Her last words were meaningful. Lian Xi understood them but didn't take them seriously.
At night, Wen Yuan stood at the highest point of the mountain village and looked out. There seemed to be something in the woods in the distance coming towards us quickly. He quickly reminded the guard in charge, "Look over there, is there something there?" Are you running to the village?"
The little brother was sleeping soundly and was suddenly woken up by Wen Yuan. Not to mention he was very unhappy, "Where are you?"
"It's right there! Can't you see it?!"
Following the direction of Wen Yuan's finger, the man did see shaking leaves, but it was not a big deal. He yawned and continued to sleep, "Maybe it's a bear or something, it's a common thing, sister-in-law, please go back too. , the wind is strong, the uncle is going to hold us accountable for being pregnant."
Even if he said this, Wen Yuan was not at ease. This didn't look like a movement that a slow-moving animal like a bear would make. "Something is wrong. Look, is there someone standing on the branch of the tree?!"
Because Wen Yuan was too far away, he couldn't see clearly, so he could only drag the younger brothers up again to confirm.
