Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Liu Xu thought Mu Lingxuan was angry, so she gave a long explanation, but she didn't even know why she was explaining.

After listening to her, Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but stop and looked at the ostrich-like little girl with some surprise.

Is she... too smart? If Aunt Xu had said this, he wouldn't have been so surprised. But she was only seven years old!

Mu Lingxuan thought back to when he was seven years old, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Looking at the little girl who was still walking forward with her head down, he took a few steps forward and grabbed her.

Liu Xu looked up in a daze, and saw Mu Lingxuan looking at her seriously, so she lowered her head again. She didn't know why she felt a little guilty, as if she was a heartless man.

If Mu Lingxuan knew what she was thinking, he would probably knock her head open to see what it was made of.

However, what he was thinking about at the moment was Liu Xu's previous analysis of the current situation of the Mu family. "Girl, who else have you told this to?"

"what?"

"You are right. The prestige of the Mu family is already high enough. If it is just the merits on the battlefield, then that is the responsibility. If we also offer grain seeds, I am afraid that the emperor will no longer be the one to welcome the Zhenguo Marquisate."

"Just keep it to yourself, and don't tell anyone else about it. Remember?"

If word gets out, the Liu family will be accused of presumptuously speculating on the emperor's intentions and slandering the current emperor, and they will have more than ten heads chopped off.

"Am I that stupid?" Liu Xu couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

But in her heart she gave Mu Lingxuan a thumbs up, thinking he had a clear mind. She thought he would blame her!

Mu Lingxuan looked at her proud look, and for some reason he reached out his hand and rubbed her furry little head.

Liu Xu was stunned. He was touching the dog's head and glared at him angrily.

Mu Lingxuan then realized what he had done. He quickly withdrew his hand, clenched his fist, put it to his mouth and coughed.

But when I saw her looking like a puffer fish, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The two were talking as they walked back, and at this time they had already returned to the backyard door.

Mu Lingxuan's laughter was naturally heard by the people in the backyard. Everyone was a little surprised: It turns out that the young marquis can also laugh like this!

Also hearing it were Ye Miaoyin and her daughter, who possessed inner strength.

Han Duoduo looked at her mother in amazement, "Mom, did you hear that? Junior Brother is laughing?"

"Yeah!" Ye Miaoyin was very calm.

"Oh my God, Ice Face can actually smile? Mom, pinch me!" Han Duoduo looked incredulous.

"Embroider your pattern carefully! Why are you bluffing all day long?" Lin Miaoyin glared at her and continued practicing calligraphy.

Liu Xu got even angrier, "If you laugh again, I won't make you chili dishes at noon!"

She had planned to cook a few dishes for Mu Lingxuan with chili peppers at noon, and then invite everyone to eat hot pot at night. As for why they didn't eat at noon, Liu Xu felt sorry for her father. Liu Donglai took people to hunt, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would not be back at noon.

"Well, I won't laugh anymore!" He was able to control his laughter so naturally.

The two returned to the yard one after the other.

Because the group went to the mountain, Ye Miaoyin and her mother stayed at home today. Liu Xu went to the kitchen to work, and Mu Lingxuan went to visit his master's wife and junior sister to reminisce about the past.

Hearing that Grandpa Meng was Doctor Meng from Liujia Village, Mu Lingxuan sighed that the world was really small. He also regretted that he did not see the old man during his first two visits, otherwise he would have written to tell Ye Miaoyin long ago.

Even today, after Old Man Meng finished giving acupuncture yesterday, he said that he would go to the mountain to collect a medicinal herb that Liu Fulin would use to treat his leg, and would come back to give acupuncture to Liu Laishun.

Mu Lingxuan knew that after the family massacre that year, there were almost no people left in Yunyin Mountain Villa. Even though his father later helped his master to get revenge, the pain in his master's wife's heart was not healed.

Now that I can see Grandpa Meng again, I think I can feel a little more comforted.

Han Duoduo kept stealing glances at Mu Lingxuan, wanting to ask if he was the one laughing just now, but she felt a little timid.

Mu Lingxuan pretended not to see it.

Because there are distinguished guests at home, from today on, the meals for the workers in the cross-yard will be prepared by the new yard, and the two newly hired cooks will also go over to help.

Xu Hean and his son went to the village to chat with the village chief.

As for the other half, Liu Donglai had already led his men deep into Beilinpo.

There was no way out. The prey in the middle area had been almost hunted down by Captain Yao and his men.

Many of these people had been to the deep areas once or twice before, and now that they have been in the military camp for so long, they are even less likely to be afraid.

Liu Donglai was even more so, as he had been to the depths of Beilinpo quite often, so he knew exactly where the water sources were in the forest.

All hunters know that it is easiest to hunt near water sources.

"Mancang, you will take ten people to guard the surrounding area later. Be careful. If you encounter a large cargo, hold it back first."

"Yes, got it!"

"Everyone else, grab your bows and arrows and follow me. Keep quiet!"

Mancang quickly counted the ten people and quietly dispersed around, looking around vigilantly.

Liu Donglai led the others and tiptoed towards the water source, taking every step extremely carefully, for fear of making any noise and scaring away any possible prey.

As they got closer to the water source, their heartbeats accelerated. Suddenly, a hare jumped out from the bushes nearby, but everyone pretended not to see it.

As they continued walking, they seemed to hear the sound of flowing water. Liu Donglai made a gesture, and everyone approached more carefully.

Sure enough, not far ahead, there was a pond with more than a dozen deer drinking water. Everyone's eyes lit up, they had encountered a herd of deer.

Liu Donglai raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to prepare their bows and arrows.

As Liu Donglai shouted "Release", more than a dozen arrows flew out, piercing the air with a slight whistling sound. Several deer were instantly hit by arrows, and the others that were not hit began to flee in panic.

Liu Donglai drew his bow and shot two arrows in a row, hitting one each time.

Just as everyone was preparing to pack up the spoils.

"Roar..." A tiger roar was heard, and Liu Donglai immediately gathered everyone to retreat and climb up the tree.

After a few minutes, there was a noise under the tree. Three wild boars were fleeing frantically in front, and not far away, a yellow spotted tiger was chasing them closely.

Just when it was almost at the water source, the tiger seemed to sense the danger in the air. It sniffed hard and began to retreat.

The moment Liu Donglai saw the tiger, his eyes lit up. If he was alone, he would never dare to do it.

Liu Donglai stared at the tiger thirty meters away, drew his bow and shot an arrow!

"Roar" The tiger's eye was injured, and the pain made it a little irritable, but with a keen sense of danger, it turned around and tried to run away.

Liu Dongzi would never let it go, so he jumped down from the tree and chased after him, and the others quickly followed.

The three wild boars that ran over were dealt with by others when Liu Donglai jumped down from the tree.

"Roar" Another arrow hit the tiger's leg.
