A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

After chatting for a while, Ye Qingxue and Wen Yanyu said goodbye and left the rouge shop.

Before leaving, Qian Ruofeng secretly called Ye Qingxue away and gave her a whole box of rouge.

"Qingxue, what girl doesn't need rouge? You're so pretty, you'll look even more beautiful with rouge on!"

Ye Qingxue couldn't refuse, so she had no choice but to take it.

At this moment, holding a box of rouge in her hand, Ye Qingxue was still thinking about Meng Dahu as she walked back to the noodle shop.

Wen Yanyu is right. Meng Dahu is so arrogant because he is favored by his parents. To completely solve this problem, we must first make the eldest daughter of the Qian family stop trusting Meng Dahu.

However, this cannot be rushed; we must observe it carefully.

According to the two young ladies of the Qian family, Meng Dahu treats his servants very badly and is a power-hungry and petty fellow.

Throughout his years as a son-in-law, he has always been overshadowed by Miss Qian, and Ye Qingxue doesn't believe he hasn't developed other intentions.

They always manage to find something wrong that Miss Qian can't accept.

Ye Qingxue was lost in her own thoughts and didn't notice that Wen Yanyu was watching her the whole time.

And the box in her hand.

An unreadable emotion flickered in his eyes.

"Brother Ye." Finally, he couldn't help but speak.

Ye Qingxue snapped out of her chaotic thoughts and heard Wen Yanyu calling her. She turned her head and asked, "What's wrong?"

Wen Yanyu hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "Brother Ye, have you fallen for him...?"

"Master Ye!"

Before Wen Yanyu could finish speaking, Ye Qingxue heard a familiar shout coming from ahead.

Turning my head, I saw Xu Guangming.

"Magistrate Xu, what a coincidence, running into you here?"

Xu Guangming greeted Wen Yanyu with a fist and palm salute, then smiled at Ye Qingxue.

“Young Master Ye, this is perfect timing, I was just looking for you.”

"Looking for me?" Ye Qingxue was somewhat surprised.

Xu Guangming glanced at Wen Yanyu, and Ye Qingxue immediately understood, giving Wen Yanyu an apologetic look.

"Brother Wen, please wait here for a moment."

Wen Yanyu wisely stepped aside, indicating that he would not listen to their conversation.

Ye Qingxue and Xu Guangming walked to the side, and Xu Guangming lowered his voice: "Those people from Menghu Village have already set off for the capital to be tried."

"Really? That's wonderful." Ye Qingxue raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised.

Finally, a big problem has been solved, so we don't need to sell men's clothing anymore!

Thinking about this, Ye Qingxue began to get excited.

"Thank you for informing me, Magistrate Xu."

"It's alright, I was just telling you casually. You should change back into your girl's clothes now, right? It's not good to always be dressed as a boy, is it? Girls should be pretty."

Ye Qingxue smiled at Xu Guangming and said, "Magistrate Xu is right."

"Oh, right," Xu Guangming suddenly remembered something, "Since you bought a house in the county, have you considered registering your household registration there?"

Ye Qingxue blinked: "Register household registration?"

Xu Guangming nodded: "Yes, the village is in a remote area. I remember there was no formal population registration there. You can register your household registration directly in our county. It will be convenient to go to other cities in the future when you have a travel permit."

Ye Qingxue exclaimed "Ah!" and nodded.

She really hadn't considered this.

Indeed, her goal is to expand her business, so she certainly can't be confined to these small places. Having a formal identity will make things much easier.

"Then I should indeed get an identity and household registration in the county."

Xu Guangming clapped his hands readily: "Alright, then leave this to me, I'll definitely get it done for you!"

He then waved to Wen Yanyu and ran away in a flash.

Ye Qingxue looked at Xu Guangming's retreating figure and found it somewhat amusing.

Magistrate Xu, who has no heavy responsibilities, is quite lively.

After Xu Guangming ran far away, Ye Qingxue remembered that Wen Yanyu seemed to want to ask her something.

As she continued walking, Ye Qingxue turned her head and asked, "Brother Wen, what did you want to ask me just now?"

Wen Yanyu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes the next second, and then he shook his head.

"Forget it, it's okay."

Ye Qingxue had some doubts, but she didn't think about it for long because she had more important things on her mind.

She wants to change back into women's clothing.

The first thing to do is to be honest with Wen Yanyu about this.

After all, Wen Yanyu was the first serious friend she made in Qingshui County.

Although Ye Qingxue was somewhat worried when she happened to see two arguing on the street that day.

But after so many days, she decided to just be direct and sincerely explain the matter, believing that Wen Yanyu would understand.

There's no time like the present; we'll have to say it sooner or later, so let's just say it now.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingxue looked up at Wen Yanyu: "Brother Wen."

Wen Yanyu did not respond, his gaze fixed ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

Unbeknownst to Ye Qingxue, Wen Yanyu's mind was currently filled with a jumble of thoughts.

He couldn't understand why he couldn't bring himself to ask Ye Qingxue if she liked Qian Ruofeng.

I can't understand why, after having this guess in my mind, my heart feels tight and uncomfortable, as if it's being squeezed by a hand.

They are both male, they are both brothers.

Wen Yanyu couldn't understand this feeling, and dared not try to understand it.

"Brother Wen?" Ye Qingxue gently patted Wen Yanyu's arm.

"Hmm?" Wen Yanyu finally snapped out of his chaotic thoughts and turned to look at Ye Qingxue.

"Brother Wen, what are you thinking about?" Ye Qingxue asked, somewhat puzzled. Wen Yanyu seemed to be lost in thought a lot lately.

Wen Yanyu shook his head: "Nothing, what did Brother Ye want to say?"

Ye Qingxue became a little nervous and didn't ask Wen Yanyu about his strange mood. She coughed a few times.

"Hey Wen, come to my noodle shop later, I'll treat you to noodles, and I also want to talk to you about something."

Wen Yanyu was somewhat puzzled, but her mind was too chaotic to think about your behavior in detail.

"okay."

Along the way, each lost in their own thoughts, they chatted idly until they returned to the noodle shop.

After inviting Wen Yanyu to sit down, Ye Qingxue ran into the kitchen, cupped water in her hands, and washed her face.

The shadows drawn on her face with snail-shell ink were washed away little by little by the flowing water.

Wen Yanyu sat on the stool in the noodle shop for a while before realizing that Ye Qingxue seemed to have been gone for a long time.

Looking around in confusion, Wen Yanyu was greeted by a waiter. He casually ordered some food and then went to look for Ye Qingxue.

Suddenly, a figure resembling Ye Qingxue appeared in their line of sight. Looking up, they discovered it was a woman.

Wen Yanyu looked away and gazed elsewhere.

But the moment his gaze shifted away, a thought struck him, and he quickly turned his gaze back.

The woman was smiling at him, her eyes crinkling.

Even though the eyebrows, eyes, and nose didn't resemble his features at all, Wen Yanyu inexplicably felt her heart race.

The moment the woman sat down and spoke, Wen Yanyu's chest felt like it was about to explode.

"Brother Ye...?"

Ye Qingxue raised her eyes, still speaking in a man's voice, and smiled at him, "Do you still recognize me?"

“Your face…” Wen Yanyu opened his mouth, his voice a little dry.

Ye Qingxue raised her eyebrows and spoke in her own voice: "Brother Ye, I hope you are not frightened."

Wen Yanyu: !!
