Transmigrated into a Farmhouse: The Stepmother Spoils Her Child to the Heavens

"I did something stupid before, and now that it's been exposed, do you think I wouldn't feel weak in the knees?"

Lin Cai carefully helped the person inside: "What kind of stupid thing did you do? Can you tell me about it?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Niang glanced at the girl protecting her. The girls she had brought before were really nothing like this girl.

The girl in front of me is much prettier than those other girls. I didn't notice anything yesterday, but now I think this girl has the ability to make people want to remember her.

"I'm asking you whether I kidnapped you or invited you here. You want to know everything, but do you think you can possibly know all that?"

"I was kidnapped by you, but don't forget that your life is still in my hands, so you have to listen to me."

Lin Cai returned the way she came and led Hua Niang to the same room as before. As soon as they sat down, Hua Niang took out a piece of paper from her bosom.

"Don't you have questions? Open it and take a look; it should answer all your questions."

Lin Cai glanced at Hua Niang suspiciously, picked up the paper on the table, and frowned when she saw the portrait on it.

"Who drew this? Why is it so ugly? Can you even recognize it?"

Hua Niang's expression was somewhat indescribable. Didn't this young lady understand?

Doesn't this old lady think the person in the portrait looks familiar?

"You only care about whether the portrait is beautiful or ugly, haven't you noticed anything else?"

Holding the portrait, Lin Cai shook her head very seriously: "No, is there anything else besides this?"

When she asked this question, her face was serious, and she really didn't seem to realize it at all.

Hua Niang was speechless and had nothing to say. She had thought the girl was quite shrewd, so how could she have become so foolish now?

"...Take a closer look and see if the people in the painting look familiar."

Lin Cai obediently read it again, but this time she frowned, and then her frown became more and more pronounced.

After a while, she pointed to the person in the painting: "Is that me?"

Seeing that she had finally recognized her, Hua Niang almost hugged her excitedly: "Oh my, oh my, this is so hard!"

"You finally recognized yourself!"

Lin Cai turned her head and looked at the portrait again, then immediately denied it: "Sister Hua, can you stop joking with me?"

"How could that ugly thing in the painting be me?"

She may not be a stunning beauty, but she's not ugly either, is she?

How could such an ugly thing be her?

After confirming repeatedly, Hua Niang insisted that the person in the painting was her, so she threw the portrait on the table.

"Just to find me, you drew this ugly thing, and then went all over the streets looking for me, making such a big fuss. May I ask which king is looking for me... ugh..."

Before he could even utter the word "bastard," his mouth was covered, and then he heard Hua Niang whisper, "And my dear aunt, can you please keep your voice down?"

“The person is still in our yard. If you speak so loudly and someone hears us, then you, me, and all the girls here will be doomed.”

"Mmm." You don't need to cover my mouth if you want me to be quiet!

I just want to know who that bastard is; it's not illegal!

"I know, I know, but you have to promise me you'll keep your voice down, okay?"

Lin Cai nodded quickly, and Hua Niang released her.

"You said that person is here right now, does he live here?"

Hua Niang nodded: "They've been staying here for several days now, and we've been searching the whole time. All the people we sent over have been returned."

Lin Cai suddenly thought of someone, but she wasn't sure if it was really him. She wanted to go and see him, but Hua Niang stopped her.

"Go where? Do you think you can just look around wherever you want just because you live here?"

"That man has a lot of men with him, and they're all carrying knives. If you're not afraid, then you can go by yourself!"

She's been making a ruckus since morning, and after finishing her story, Hua Niang lay down on the bed.

She didn't sleep well last night, so she needs to lie down properly now, otherwise her old back will never be able to stay in bed!

Lin Cai heard that the other party was carrying a knife, but she did not give up the idea of ​​going to see. At worst, she could just sneak around and take a look.

On the other side, Gu Zhan also received the news. When he arrived alone, Lin Cai was still sleeping.

Hua Niang was quite alert, but she fell silent before she could even shout. She watched in horror as Gu Zhan approached Lin Cai.

Then she watched as Gu Zhan picked her up. Hua Niang stood there, unable to move or speak, her eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

As Gu Zhan, who was carrying the person, passed by her, he paused for a moment: "Don't touch people you shouldn't grab. This is a lesson for you."

After saying that, the person left, leaving Hua Niang, who was still in the house, completely dumbfounded. What sins had she committed?

Ever since I brought that shrew back, there's been no peace and quiet. Now I'm stuck here, and if no one comes...

Gu Zhan led her out of Yichun Garden. The cold wind along the way woke Lin Cai from her sleep. When her chin was so close to hers, her mind was completely blank.

After realizing what was happening, she moved slightly and felt her body tighten: "Don't move, or you'll fall and I won't be responsible."

Lin Cai froze, her whole body stiff. Could some deity tell her what was going on?

Wasn't she sleeping?

How did I end up in this person's arms?

How did this person get here? When did they find her? When did Yuzu carry her out? How come she doesn't know anything about it?

Even if a person can't move, they can still talk, right?

"Gu Gu Zhan, where are you taking me?"

"Looking back at my hometown village."

"I'm not going back. Find a place to drop me off."

"You must go back."

"Gu Zhan, I told you I'm not going back. Don't think you can save me just because I did..."

“He’s still looking for you. If you want to go to him, I can take you there right now.”

Lin Cai looked at him in disbelief. She had only said she wouldn't go back now, not that she wouldn't go back for the rest of her life. How could he do this?

"No need, just put me down and I'll go myself."

We absolutely cannot back down. If we let him threaten us, things will get really bad later...

Lin Cai wanted to slap her forehead. How could she have thought about the future? In the future, the two of them would have no relationship whatsoever. Even if they did, it would only be as fellow villagers.

"It's too far, let me take you there, it'll be faster that way."

As he walked toward Gujia Village, his words were completely contradictory. Lin Cai could only see his chin and the sky; otherwise, she really wanted to grab some mud and smear it in his face.

He's the one who's lying through his teeth. He said he'd personally deliver it back, so why doesn't he?
