Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

She noticed that Zhao Mingyuan and Fu Mingxuan all liked spicy food, so she made another small jar of pickled peppers.

Aunt Zhang made some southern side dishes: pickled turnips and pickled eggplants. This required more effort. After she finished, Xiao Wan tasted it and found it tasted much richer than what she made herself.

Xiao Wan packed them into a small jar slightly larger than the palm of her hand and sealed it for easy carrying on the road.

Looking at the small clay stove at home, Xiao Wan had some new ideas and waited to tell Zhao Mingyuan about them tomorrow night.

Early the next morning, Father Xiao took Tian Shouzhong to work on expanding the house. Xiao Wan and her sister Xiao Zhener took Zhang Liang and Tian Shuang to the town to find Duan Hongyi, and by the way, sent Xiao Zhengping and Tian Qing to school.

Duan Hongyi was delighted to see them coming. Xiao Zhener was still nervous as it was her first time at a big restaurant like Yunkelai. Xiao Wan took her sister's hand and introduced her to Duan Hongyi.

Duan Hongyi greeted Xiao Zhener gently. Although Xiao Zhener was still nervous, she was silently encouraged by her sister holding her hand. Seeing Duan Hongyi's gentle attitude, she became natural and talked to him calmly.

Although it was just a small improvement, Xiao Zhener felt like there was something different in her mood, and some of her emotions gradually dissipated.

Duan Hongyi was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Liang. Xiao Wan explained that this was the guard Zhao Mingyuan found for her family. After hearing this, Duan Hongyi's face gradually darkened.

He didn't pay much attention to Xiao Wan on weekdays, and he also wanted to find a skilled guard to protect her, but he didn't dare to take the risk because he knew that someone was watching him.

Although he usually remained calm, he was also aware of the background of the people around him. If he dealt with one person, there would be another one. If he was too aggressive towards Xiao Wan, he might end up hurting her.

Thinking of this, Duan Hongyi felt even more aggrieved.

This time, Xiao Wan's guard didn't seem to know only some martial arts, but seemed to have internal strength. Moreover, he was hired by Zhao Mingyuan. He used to be in the Second Prince's camp. I'm afraid this guard has a big background.

Duan Hongyi felt that he needed to take the initiative to contact that noble person. If he gave it a try, everything would be possible.

Xiao Wan saw that the maid behind Duan Hongyi had been replaced by a woman with a delicate and gentle face. Xiao Wan smiled and did not ask where the former Hongdou had gone. Instead, the maid looked at Xiao Wan curiously, but did not show any extra expression.

Duan Hongyi noticed Xiao Wan's eyes and smiled at her: "People who are not good to you will no longer stay with me."

Runwei, who was standing behind Duan Hongyi, looked a little uncomfortable after hearing what Duan Hongyi said, but she kept her composure. Seeing that Duan Hongyi was kind to Xiao Wan, she smiled at her kindly when Xiao Wan looked at her, and Xiao Wan nodded in response.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at his daughter's performance with satisfaction. His daughter was excellent in every aspect and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. Although she was proud and arrogant, she had to have someone who could catch her eye.

Xiao Wan felt that Duan Hongyi's words were strange, but she couldn't tell what was strange about them. She shook her head secretly, pretended not to hear, and asked about the store.

Duan Hongyi was a little disappointed. He lowered his eyes to hide his emotions. Then he raised his head and said to Xiao Wan, "This time, Manager Liu found two shops that can be rented or sold. I'll take you to have a look first."

Shopkeeper Liu followed and said, "Boss, why don't I take Miss Xiao and the others with me? You..."

Before Shopkeeper Liu could finish his words, Duan Hongyi gave him a cold look, which made Shopkeeper Liu's heart skip a beat. Runwei, standing behind Duan Hongyi, shook her head implicitly at her father.

Shopkeeper Liu understood what he meant and quickly changed his tone, saying, "Boss, I'll go get the car ready first."

Duan Hongyi nodded and did not pursue the matter any further. Shopkeeper Liu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, he changed his words quickly, otherwise he would have really angered his boss and would have been in big trouble.

However, they were also thinking about their boss, so they spent a long time to find the people sent by the other side to monitor them. Now they were not strong enough to confront them head-on.

Well, I can understand my boss. After all, it’s not pleasant to be controlled by others. But now I can only listen to my boss. After all, I can’t make the decision myself.

My daughter Runwei is a person with her own ideas. She just hopes that she can catch the eye of her master. After all, if she succeeds in doing that, it will be a great achievement. In the future, if my daughter can take care of her brothers, I and my wife will feel relieved.

Manager Liu didn't think any more and hurried to the backyard to call Jiang He to prepare the car.

Runwei felt a little sad as she watched her father leaving, but at the same time she looked at Duan Hongyi with admiration. She was determined to stay with her boss and didn't care about the person over there.

But what does the boss mean to this Miss Xiao? She doesn't look like an ordinary business partner. He actually treats my father coldly for her.

It seemed as if he had some affection for Miss Xiao. If that was true, Runwei would feel a little sympathetic towards Xiao Wan.

She is different from Xiao Wan. She is a servant of the Duan family. Even if she is favored by Duan Hongyi, he will not take her seriously. After all, a servant is easier to control.

Moreover, she had no intention of competing for favor, she just admired Duan Hongyi. Otherwise, although she was a house slave, it would not be so difficult for Manager Liu to ask the master to release her from slavery.

She just wanted to stay with Duan Hongyi.
