Transmigrated Leftover Woman in Rural Style

Chu Xun'er snorted and pouted, "It's simple. Just go out and kowtow to me ten times in front of everyone."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Chu Xun'er with a mocking expression, thinking that her daughter's delusions were a bit too severe. Thinking that Li Xiaogang should be back in Xinzhou Village by now, Li Xiaonuan decided not to argue with Chu Xun'er any further.

She said seriously, "I already apologized when I bumped into you. Besides, we were both at fault. So, let's leave it at that. I'm busy and don't have time to waste on your nonsense. I'm out of here."

When they collided, Li Xiaonuan did apologize. And as she said, both parties were at fault. Therefore, Chu Xun'er couldn't refute her. But she had something else to say. So, she said arrogantly, "Let's talk about what happened at Wutong Temple last time."

"That's ancient history. Besides, I did nothing wrong in that matter. Are you having a change of heart and want to apologize and compensate me? I still have the scar on my neck," Li Xiaonuan retorted.

"You...you incomprehensible person. Anyway, you have to apologize to me." Chu Xun'er was a little exasperated.

Li Xiaonuan stood up and said, "Alright, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense. Think it over yourself." With that, she walked out.

Behind her came Chu Xun'er's angry curses and the sound of her smashing things. Li Xiaonuan shrugged helplessly and told Doctor Qi, who had come running at the sound, that it had nothing to do with her. Doctor Qi's face darkened, and he quickly lifted the curtain and went inside.

"Why are you so temperamental, girl? Don't you know where you are? You just start yelling and smashing things. Now that your foot is healed, hurry back and don't come to my clinic again. I don't have that much stuff for you to mess with."

"Uncle Qi, it's all because of that bitch who angered me, why don't you scold her?"

"You have no right to smash my things, no matter who made you angry. Don't you even understand this? How were you raised by your parents? You were so lovable when you were little, how come you've become so unruly now?"

"Uncle Qi, it was Xun'er's fault. Please don't send Xun'er away. Xun'er promises that she will never throw a tantrum again and will never smash your things. Uncle Qi, please let me do it. I've come to find Sister Feifei, and I promise I won't cause any trouble."

"Alright, your sister Feifei is busy, so don't come to see her unless it's absolutely necessary. The Wei family has already found us here, so you should go back with them quickly."

"I understand. Uncle Qi, I'll head back now. I'll come see you again when I have time. Please give my regards to Brother Ji." Upon hearing the name of the Wei family, Chu Xun'er became listless and said weakly.

The Wei residence? Li Xiaonuan, who had been standing outside the curtain, turned around to see who had come. But this turn startled her so much that she fell backward. Imagine turning your head and seeing a magnified face less than an inch from your eyes—that's terrifying.

Fortunately, the man had a conscience and reached out to pull her up, preventing her from having a close encounter with the ground. Once she regained her footing, Li Xiaonuan questioned the man dressed in sky blue.

"How can you be like this? Don't you know you'll scare people?"

The man straightened his hair ribbon, brandished his folding fan, and said with a look of disdain, "If you haven't done anything wrong, why would you be frightened by me? What, caught eavesdropping by me, are you getting angry now?"

Li Xiaonuan disagreed, objecting, "Which eye of yours saw me eavesdropping? I'm just standing here. They're talking loudly, what does it have to do with me? Besides, even if I were standing inside listening, they wouldn't kick me out." Before she could say anything more, she was interrupted.

"Brother Yu, what brings you here? Did you come to pick me up?" Chu Xun'er lifted the curtain and saw Wei Yu, and asked happily.

"Brother Yu, Wei Yu?" Li Xiaonuan wailed, realizing she hadn't recognized him at all. Sigh~ Face blindness is a disease, it needs treatment.

Wei Yu looked at Chu Xun'er with disdain and said, "Look at you, you look so out of place. You should use your brain when you sneak off next time. It's lucky you weren't kidnapped dressed like that. You should thank her, otherwise you might be somewhere right now if she hadn't bumped into you."

Following the direction of the folding fan, Chu Xun'er looked at the dazed Li Xiaonuan and complained, "Brother Yu, this country girl bumped into me and twisted my ankle, and she didn't even apologize to me. Why are you telling me to thank her?"

Wei Yu said impatiently, "Alright, you should go back now. My older brother is waiting for you at your sister-in-law's. I don't know what you're thinking. You've only been here a short time and you've already caused her so much trouble. If you had just endured it for another ten days or so, you could have gone out and played freely. But you had to go and sneak away disguised as a man. Who knows how long your sister-in-law will be grounded because of you. You're such a troublemaker. Anyone who gets involved with you is doomed."

Chu Xun'er was on the verge of tears, and whispered to the nagging Wei Yu, "Brother Yu, it's not like that. I'm just... just too bored. I'm not a troublemaker, please don't bother me. I promise, I'll never cause trouble again, Brother Yu, you have to believe me. I'll be very good and obedient."

That pitiful look made Li Xiaonuan's teeth ache. Sigh~ Men just love that kind of thing. A woman who's delicate, sweet, pretty, and cute—even women can't resist that.

Lost in thought, Li Xiaonuan was struck on the forehead. Touching the spot where she had been hit, she looked at Wei Yu with a puzzled expression. If he didn't provide a reasonable explanation, Li Xiaonuan was certain she would retaliate.

"Don't look at me like that. What were you thinking about so intently? I called you several times, didn't you hear me?"

Okay, it's my own fault. But how could I let the person involved know about my own filthy thoughts?

"You can't just hit me on the head. If you make me stupid, you'll have to pay for it. So, what do you want?"

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, you have to help me get justice. This village girl is so hateful. She did that at Wutong Temple last time, and my sister was so angry with her." Seeing that her coquettishness had not gotten a response and that Wei Yu was only focused on Li Xiaonuan, Chu Xun'er had no choice but to resort to her coquettish tactics again.

Seeing that Chu Xun'er was about to touch him, Wei Yu quickly moved aside. He impatiently called out, "Xiao Si, Xiao Si, hurry up and take your daughter back. Big Brother will punish you if he gets impatient."

Xiao Si responded and brought in two old women, who then dragged Chu Xun'er out without a word. Chu Xun'er called out to Wei Yu several times along the way, but Wei Yu didn't respond. Only after they left did Wei Yu say:

"Starting tomorrow, report to my residence at 9:00 AM every day. I'll have my servant wait for you at the gate. Also, don't cause me any more trouble like this in the future."

Li Xiaonuan asked in confusion, "Did she cause you trouble? Was it that girl from earlier? I think she lives in your house. I didn't deliberately provoke her."

Wei Yu looked at Li Xiaonuan with a disappointed expression, raised his hand and tapped her forehead with his folding fan before saying with dissatisfaction, "I was referring to the matter of Prince Jing. I don't want to be a scribe, let alone a scribe like you, a vulgar and ill-mannered country girl."

Because they were talking about some private matters, Wei Yu was practically whispering in Li Xiaonuan's ear. As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her ear and neck, like a feather gently brushing against her skin, making her feel a little itchy.

Li Xiaonuan touched her ear somewhat awkwardly, leaned back a little, and then replied, "Prince Jing? So Doctor Jing's identity is that powerful. However, this is not trouble I brought upon you; it was Doctor Jing who designated you, so there's nothing I can do about it."

Wei Yu moved closer and warned, "I'm not going to interfere this time. If you encounter similar problems in the future, you'll have to figure out how to solve them yourself. If you involve me again, I'll show you what it means to cause trouble."
