Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Just as Li Xiaonuan was busy promoting the Chili Project and planning the Shangri-La project in both the old and new Zhoucun, Chu Xun'er arrived again. And she came in a rage.

"Li Xiaonuan, tell me what's going on between you and Brother Yu? Why do they all say you're hooking up with Brother Yu? I don't believe Brother Yu would hook up with you, I'm just asking you."

Li Xiaonuan looked completely bewildered and asked, "Wei Yu and I have barely even met a few times. How did we get together? Miss Chu, who told you this? Did you even find out the details?"

Chu Xun'er said angrily, "You haven't even met a few times and people are already spreading rumors about you like this. If you two really met a few more times, would Brother Yu have to marry you? You really have no shame. Sister is right, you're just using your face to deliberately get close to Brother Yu."

Li Xiaonuan retorted to Chu Xun'er in an annoyed tone: "Second Miss Chu, please get one thing straight. It's not that I look like your sister, it's that your sister looks like me. Don't forget, your sister is a month younger than me."

Chu Xun'er hadn't come here to argue about looks. But after being swayed by Li Xiaonuan, she was also confused: "Even if my sister looks like you, that's your honor. Anyway, my sister is prettier than you, and there's no use in being jealous."

Li Xiaonuan was completely speechless; the conversation had gone off-topic like this. Therefore, she steered the conversation back on track: "Second Miss Chu, tell me how I seduced Wei Yu, where I did it, and when?"

Chu Xun'er was confused by Li Xiaonuan's words, and finally stopped giving irrelevant answers: "It was the day before yesterday that you went to the city. I heard that you went to the clinic first, and after you came out of the clinic, you spent a long time arguing with Brother Ji. In the end, you met Brother Yu outside the city. Brother Yu even rode his horse and took you home."

Only then did Li Xiaonuan realize that this matter had become such a big fuss. This didn't make sense! She had been staying home all this time; shouldn't those pointless comments have cooled down by now?

“Your brother Yu was probably just passing by that day, which is why he followed me all the way. I think he was going to talk to Brother Zhao about hunting in the mountains. But for some reason, he left when he got to the village entrance. Look, Brother Zhao’s house is over there,” Li Xiaonuan said, pointing to the Zhao family’s house.

Chu Xun'er thought for a moment before reluctantly nodding and saying, "What you said makes sense. These past few days, Brother Yu has been going into the mountains with that family's young master. Now that Brother Yu's matter has been explained, you should keep your promise from that day and take me into the mountains to hunt rabbits, right?"

Li Xiaonuan was almost stunned by Chu Xun'er's unpredictable personality. How could someone who was so arrogant just moments ago suddenly have such a change of heart? And now, she's even adopting a consultative stance.

“No, I’m grounded and can’t go out. If you want to go into the mountains, why don’t you go home and ask your brother to arrange it? I think your brother dotes on you. If you just beg him a little, he’ll definitely agree,” Li Xiaonuan suggested.

Chu Xun'er pouted, a little disappointed, and said, "My older brother took some people into the mountains the day before yesterday and wouldn't let me go with him. That's why I thought of you and came to find you."

They've gone into the mountains? And after Wei Yu and the others went in. Could it be that Chu Feng's purpose in coming this time wasn't to apologize or take Chu Xun'er back? Then who is his target? Wei Yu? Prince Jing? Or perhaps his brother from the Zhao family?

Unable to sort things out, Li Xiaonuan simply put it aside. When she wrote to Prince Jing and Wei Yu about Chu Feng's apology, both of them told her to leave the apology gifts behind.

Looking back now, Prince Jing and Wei Yu already knew the purpose of Chu Feng's trip, but they simply didn't want to tell her. But that was for the best; as long as it didn't involve her, she didn't have to concern herself with the infighting between those people.

Seeing that Li Xiaonuan was distracted, Chu Xun'er's princess temper flared up again: "Li Xiaonuan, I'm asking you a question. Are you going to take me into the mountains or not?"

Li Xiaonuan was brought back to her senses and quickly said seriously, "Second Miss Chu, it's not good for just the two of us women to go into the mountains; it's very unsafe. Why don't you have a few more of your servants come, and we can all go into the mountains together? I'll also call my friends, is that alright?"

Chu Xun'er thought about it and agreed with Li Xiaonuan. But she had sneaked out today and hadn't brought anyone with her. So, she said generously, "Okay, I'll go back and arrange the people first. You should also invite your friends. We'll go into the mountains promptly at 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Li Xiaonuan quickly nodded in agreement, afraid that the young lady might change her mind again. After seeing Chu Xun'er off, Li Xiaonuan was secretly delighted. She planned to take Chu Xun'er and the others to the surrounding gentle slopes the next day to familiarize themselves with the terrain and conditions there.

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiaonuan really had to thank Chu Xun'er. After all, her arrival gave her an excuse to go out. Moreover, because the visitor was a woman, those people couldn't gossip anymore.

Furthermore, it would also make it easier for her to understand the surrounding area, which would be very helpful for her planning. If Li Xiaonuan missed out on such a win-win situation, she would definitely regret it.

The next day at 9 AM, Chu Xun'er indeed arrived with her entourage. Li Xiaonuan didn't invite anyone else, only asking Jingjing to go with her. Aunt Zhou was worried about the two of them, so she had Jingjing and Minghua accompany them into the mountains. Of course, where there's excitement, the clan chief's granddaughter, Fangfang, was also there.

Therefore, Li Xiaonuan's side consisted of only five women. Fortunately, Chu Xun'er had brought many people. Judging from her appearance, in addition to her three personal maids and servants, she also brought seven or eight guards.

Li Xiaonuan thought, "Finally, we have people to help catch the rabbits. That means our picnic in the mountains today is settled." She tightened the small basket on her back, called to Jingjing and the others to follow, and headed into the mountains.

The path Li Xiaonuan led took her north from Xinzhou Village, entering the mountains from the small hills. There were many small hills and gentle slopes there, making it easier for her to familiarize herself with the terrain.

As soon as she entered the mountain, Chu Xun'er fluttered around like a bird that had been released from its cage.

Looking at her carefree demeanor, Li Xiaonuan felt that she was indeed just simple and spoiled, without any ill intentions. After Chu Xun'er had had her fill of fun, she ordered the guards to hunt rabbits for her.

While reminding everyone to watch their step, Li Xiaonuan also warned them to be wary of venomous snakes. Upon hearing about snakes, Chu Xun'er was so frightened that she quickly ran to Li Xiaonuan's side, stopping her playful antics.

Li Xiaonuan looked at Chu Xun'er's slightly pale face and smiled. So even this arrogant young lady has things she's afraid of.

"What are you laughing at? Don't laugh. Be careful, or I'll have my brother take you as a concubine and make you a servant in our family." Chu Xun'er shouted at Li Xiaonuan in a fit of anger and embarrassment.

Li Xiaonuan didn't care much and laughed even louder: "With your family background, how could I possibly become a concubine? Besides, you would definitely lose face if a clumsy country girl like me were to serve as a servant in your family."
