"Who? Which bastard dares to plot against me?" Xia Jicai struggled in the ice water.

It snowed intermittently for more than three months, the weather was freezing cold, and the ice on the water was more than half an inch thick.

Xia Jicai was thrown heavily, breaking the ice.

The ice knife stabbed his face, and he grimaced in pain.

The icy water made his teeth chatter and he was so angry that he kept cursing.

"Kindness? The mouth that speaks foul language should be sealed." Yan Heng's voice was grim in the carriage.

"Yes, my lord."

Xia Jicai walked to the shore swearing and trembling, and then he climbed onto the shore with his hands. Someone kicked him in the head.

He felt a sharp pain in his head and was kicked into the water again.

"I kicked it, what do you want?" Shanliang stood on the shore, looking down at him with his hands on his hips, squinting his eyes and sneering.

Xia Jicai wiped the water off his face and looked at the person who was speaking with his eyes wide open. He recognized that this was the guard from Yanyuan and trembled with fear. "No, no, no, I dare not."

"Hmph!" Shanliang patted his sleeves, went back to the carriage, and drove away.

Only after the carriage had gone far away did Xia Jicai dare to climb out of the pond and ran home trembling.

He muttered to himself, he had never offended anyone in Yanyuan, so why did the people in Yanyuan beat him?

-

Song Cuixi drove a donkey cart and brought Xia Xiaorou to the gate of Yanyuan's farm.

The main door was closed, but a small door on one side was open.

Someone was talking in the gatehouse next to the small door.

Song Cuixi stretched her neck to look at the doorman and urged Xia Xiaorou in a low voice, "Xia Xiaorou, go up and ask."

Xia Xiaorou had good hearing and heard Ji Qingchen scolding Yan Heng's guards in the gatehouse.

I don’t know what happened, but Ji Qingchen was irritated and the words he spoke to him were very harsh.

Xia Xiaorou glanced at Song Cuixi and said, "Now is not the right time to come. If you go forward to ask for permission, not only will you not be able to enter the village, you may also be scolded."

"You didn't even ask for permission, how do you know you'll be scolded?" Song Cuixi sneered, "Xia Xiaorou, are you making up an excuse because you don't want to help?"

Xia Xiaorou glanced at Song Cuixi calmly, "If you get scolded later, don't blame me."

Song Cuixi dressed up specially today. She thought she was the prettiest girl in the village. She was very confident and wanted to show off. She didn't listen to Xia Xiaorou's advice at all.

"I'll be scolded if I want to, just go up and ask for instructions, why bother with so many things?" she urged again.

Xia Xiaorou glanced at her, got off the donkey cart and came to the gatehouse.

Song Cuixi parked the donkey cart and hurriedly followed.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Yan at the manor today? Xia has something she wants to report to Mr. Yan in person."

The concierge heard Xia Xiaorou's voice, turned around to look at her, and was about to speak.

But Ji Qingchen answered first, "He's dead!"

Xia Xiaorou frowned, "Ji Langjun, is he at the manor?"

"Didn't I tell you? He's dead, maybe eaten by wolves in the ravine. What a heartless guy. I traveled thousands of miles to bring him a message, but he didn't appreciate it. He left me here alone and went out to die. It's too much! He's a complete villain!" Ji Qingchen said angrily.

Not only was he kept at the farm by Yan Heng, but he was also confined by Yan Heng and was not allowed to leave the farm.

He wanted to break out and walk around the village, but the guards stopped him, and he couldn't beat Yan Heng's guards.

Ji Qingchen, who has always been casual, is in a murderous mood at this moment.

When he heard Xia Xiaorou mention Yan Heng, he started to curse her without any mercy.

Xia Xiaorou turned around and looked at Song Cuixi, "Lord Yan is not here, do you still want to go in?"

Song Cuixi hesitated, not knowing whether to break in or leave. She just stood in front of the gatehouse, biting her lip and not saying a word.

Ji Qingchen discovered that another woman came to see Yan Heng. He squinted his eyes, walked outside the gatehouse, and looked at Song Cuixi from head to toe.

"Are you looking for Yan Heng?"

It was the first time that Song Cuixi was stared at by a handsome man. She blushed and said shyly, "...Yes."

"You look so good...hahahaha..." Ji Qingchen suddenly clapped his hands and laughed, waving to the guards at the gatehouse, "Let this young lady in."

The guards in the gatehouse looked at each other and did not dare to agree.

Ji Qingchen put his hands on his hips and sneered, "What? You don't even listen to me? I tell you, you have offended me, and your master will never be able to return to the capital in this lifetime! Humph!"

Everyone in Yanyuan is Yan Heng's confidant.

Even the manager of the manor, Madam Zhu, was brought by Yan Heng from the capital.

They knew why Yan Heng came to live in this poor mountain village, and they also knew that although Ji Qingchen was scolded and punished by Yan Heng, Ji Qingchen's identity was still someone Yan Heng dared not underestimate.

Everyone looked at each other, retreated together, and no longer dared to stop Ji Qingchen.

Ji Qingchen raised the corner of his lips, smiled slyly, and made a gesture to Song Cuixi to invite her in, "Madam, please come in?"

Being invited by Ji Qingchen, a handsome and elegant gentleman, Song Cuixi's heart was pounding with excitement. "Ah? Yes, yes, thank you very much, my lord."

Xia Xiaorou, however, curled the corners of her lips sarcastically.

When Song Cuixi was found by Ji Qingchen, she thought she had picked up some candy, but she didn't know that she would die miserably in a moment.

If Yan Heng is a cold-blooded and brutal wolf, then Ji Qingchen is a smiling fox.

Although she was very careful in her previous life, she was still teased by Ji Qingchen twice.

I heard that when Ji Qingchen hates someone, he can make that person's life worse than death.

In order to avoid being implicated, Xia Xiaorou said to Song Cuixi, "I won't go in. You go ahead."

Song Cuixi hoped that Xia Xiaorou would not follow her in. If Xia Xiaorou followed her in, Yan Heng would talk to Xia Xiaorou again. Wouldn't that mean she would have nothing to do?

Isn't her work in vain?

"You wait for me outside." Song Cui raised her eyebrows proudly.

"I'd better go home first. I just caught a cold and I'm vomiting. If I vomit in front of the gate of Yanyuan, Mr. Yan will be angry and punish me, and you will be implicated too." Xia Xiaorou was unwilling to stand outside in the cold waiting for Song Cuixi.

Song Cuixi was also worried that Xia Xiaorou would vomit and be disliked by the people in Yanyuan, so she waved her hand and said, "Then hurry up and hold back if you want to vomit. Don't vomit here, or I'll make you look bad."

"No, I don't want to vomit right now." Xia Xiaorou said.

Song Cuixi entered the farm happily.

Xia Xiaorou curled the corners of her lips slightly, turned around and walked back.

"Stop! You cunning little girl!" Ji Qingchen's voice suddenly shouted from behind Xia Xiaorou.

Xia Xiaorou had to stop and turned back to nod at Ji Qingchen, "Ji Langjun, is there anything else?"

Ji Qingchen crossed his chest with one hand, supported his chin with the other, and squinted at Xia Xiaorou, "Do you have a grudge against that young lady just now?"

"She is my sister-in-law." Xia Xiaorou lowered her eyes.

"You want to kill your sister-in-law?" Ji Qingchen smiled teasingly.

"Where do you come from? Mr. Ji is framing me." Xia Xiaorou flatly denied it.

"I finally understand why Yan Heng asked you to be her dressing maid, haha."

"Why?" Xia Xiaorou raised her eyes.

"You are as cunning and evil-minded as Yan Heng. On the surface, you both look innocent and weak, but in fact, you are more cruel than anyone else when it comes to bullying."

"Mr. Ji, you have misunderstood. I have never harmed anyone." Xia Xiaorou lowered her eyes again.

"Tsk tsk, you still don't admit it." Ji Qingchen smiled.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xia Xiaorou bowed to Ji Qingchen, gathered her cloak, and walked towards the village.

Ji Qingchen watched her back gradually walking away, smiled, flicked his sleeves, and went into the village.

Xia Xiaorou entered the village and saw a carriage approaching. She was so scared that she quickly hid behind a haystack.

Only after the carriage had gone far away did she come out from behind the haystack and return to Song Yanbai's house.

In fact, when she was walking on the road, Yan Heng had already seen her through the gap in the fluttering car curtain.

When Yan Heng was about to stop the car and ask her to get in to talk, he saw her hiding behind the haystack as if avoiding the plague god. This action completely infuriated Yan Heng.

He angrily slammed the curtain and ordered Shanliang to drive the carriage back to the farm quickly.

The gate opened and Yan Heng's carriage entered the manor, but after only a few steps, it was stopped by Ji Qingchen.

"Yan Heng, I have good news for you. Please get out of the car. I want to talk to you in person."

Yan Heng was already angry with Xia Xiaorou, and now that Ji Qingchen unreasonably stopped her car, she became even more furious.

"Ji Qingchen, do you want to be beaten?"

Ji Qingchen ignored his anger and continued to say cheerfully, "Okay, okay, you hypocritical man, I'll say it here. Your changing maid, Madam Xia, just sent her sister-in-law to the farm. By the way, her sister-in-law is dressed like a fairy, a hundred times more beautiful than Madam Xia!"

When Yan Heng heard this, his anger level soared to the maximum.

"Goodness, strip that woman naked and throw her out of the village! Now!" Yan Heng gritted her teeth.
