After that, Yun Che stayed in Fengxiang Town. From time to time, Yun Che would find an excuse to meet Li Xiaoxiao, and the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.

As time went by, Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao became closer. One day, when Li Xiaoxiao was weeding the soybean field with Bai Dong in the wasteland, Yun Che arrived with his subordinate Yun Yi. Bai Shi was no longer surprised by this.

He opened the door for Yun Che and invited him in.

"Aunt Bai, is Xiaoxiao home?" Yun Che asked Aunt Bai in a familiar manner.

Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao and his uncle are weeding soybeans in the wasteland in the backyard."

Hearing that Li Xiaoxiao was in the backyard, Yun Che immediately left the main hall and prepared to go to the backyard. Yun Yi, who was following behind him, hurriedly placed the gift he was carrying on the table in the main hall and followed Yun Che out.

Yun Che went to the wasteland with ease and familiarity. Looking at the busy Li Xiaoxiao, his heart couldn't help but move.

He strode over, took the hoe from Li Xiaoxiao, and said with a smile, "Let me help you." Li Xiaoxiao looked at Yun Che in surprise, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Seeing Yun Che snatching Li Xiaoxiao's hoe and starting to work, Yun Yi, as his subordinate, couldn't just stand there and watch his master do it. He squatted down, put the sword in his arms aside, and started pulling out the weeds.

The unfamiliar and awkward movements of the master and servant made Li Xiaoxiao's eyes twitch unconsciously, and even Bai Dong, who was standing by, couldn't help but laugh.

Yun Che didn't care. He just wanted to help Li Xiaoxiao finish the work quickly so that she could go back and rest.

Li Xiaoxiao originally wanted to take the hoe from Yun Che's hand and weed the grass herself so that it would be faster, but Yun Che refused and said that he could do it himself. Li Xiaoxiao just let him do it and squatted down to pull out the grass.

There weren't many weeds in the field, so after a while, they had cleared more than half of them. Li Xiaoxiao saw that it was getting late, "Uncle, you guys can stay busy here first. I'll go back and help Mom cook!"

"Hey, you should go back soon. We'll go back after we're done." Bai Dong responded without turning his head.

Li Xiaoxiao wiped the sweat from her face, said hello to Yun Che and the others, and then went home.

When they got home, Bai was already busy in the kitchen. Thinking that Yun Che and his servant would be having lunch at home, she said, "Mom, you go ahead and prepare some. I'll go to the shrimp farm and ask my uncle to catch some crayfish. We'll make spicy crayfish."

"Hey, go ahead, mom will watch."

Li Xiaoxiao called Li Linlin, who was playing with the little rabbit in the yard, and went to the shrimp farm near the river together.

Li Xiaoxiao and Li Linlin came to the shrimp farm and found Bai Jing. The three of them fished out crayfish together and soon had a good harvest.

When they returned home with the crayfish, they found Yun Che and Yun Yi already waiting in the yard. It turned out that Bai Dong had seen Li Xiaoxiao return and felt bad for Yun Che, a nobleman, helping them with farm work, so he told them to go back first and he would do the rest. Yun Che helped for a while, then, thinking of Li Xiaoxiao, returned first.

Li Xiaoxiao invited Yun Che to help process the crayfish, and Yun Che happily agreed. They chatted and laughed while working, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

Soon, the fragrant spicy crayfish was served on the table. Everyone sat together, enjoying the delicious food in a happy mood.

Li Fang and Li Linlin both looked very happy while eating, especially Li Fang, who said that he had not eaten crayfish since he went to school, and that he was able to eat it this time thanks to Brother Yun Che.

Li Fang's words made Yun Che very happy, and he said that he would bring him a gift next time.

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Li Fang on the side. Her younger brother's way of speaking had changed since he started school. He sounded like a little adult.

After dinner, Yun Che and Li Xiaoxiao took a walk in the courtyard. Yun Che looked at the mountains outside the courtyard and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, thank you for your hospitality today. I'm really happy."

Li Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "You're welcome, Brother Yun Che. You're welcome to come often in the future."

Yun Che looked at Li Xiaoxiao with a firm gaze, "I will, as long as you are willing." Li Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed slightly when she heard this, and a hint of sweetness rose in her heart.

At this time, Yun Yi, who was standing at the door watching the two of them, saw the way his master was looking at Miss Li and thought, "Oh, my master is probably going to be in trouble because of Miss Li. I just don't know if the elders in the family will agree to this marriage. If they don't agree..." Yun Yi couldn't help but worry about his master.

After chatting with Li Xiaoxiao for a while, Yun Che left with Yun Yi.

On the way back, Yun Yi drove the carriage while Yun Che sat inside, watching the scenery passing quickly outside the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Yun Yi was a man who could not keep secrets. After thinking for a moment, he finally expressed his concerns, "Master, do you think our family will accept Miss Li's identity?"

Yun Che was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "No matter what, I will fight for it." His tone was firm, revealing a determination.

Yun Yi sighed inwardly, moved by his master's deep affection. He knew that once Yun Che made a decision, he would go all out.

After returning to the town, Yun Che did not go back to his mansion in the town, but went directly to Xiangmanlou to ask Manager Zhao about the sanitary napkin business.

Shopkeeper Zhao reported to Yun Che on the recent sales of sanitary napkins. Sales continued to climb, and demand outstripped supply. Shopkeeper Zhao handed the account book to Yun Che, who took a quick look. Since the sanitary napkins went on the market, profits had reached over ten thousand taels in just over a month. Yun Che wasn't surprised by this and simply instructed that Li Xiaoxiao's share of the dividends be delivered to her as soon as possible. Shopkeeper Zhao quickly agreed.

After sitting in Xiangmanlou for a while, seeing that nothing happened, Yun Che took Yun Yi back to his house in town. He walked straight into the study and pondered for a long time. He picked up his pen, preparing to write a letter to his grandfather in the capital, confessing his feelings for Li Xiaoxiao.

In Yun Che's heart, as long as his grandfather agreed to this marriage, other people's opinions were not important, including his father. Yun Che understood his sister in the palace. As long as she liked someone, her sister would support him.

Thinking of his sister Yun Wan'er, Yun Che immediately had an idea. His grandfather listened to his sister the most. He just needed to talk to his sister about this matter. If his grandfather did not agree, he could let his sister help him lobby.
