I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

After distributing the silver, Su Banxia walked up to Su Mo, who was serving meals to the workers, and said coldly:

"I don't care what your intentions are in returning to the second branch of the family. Our second branch will absolutely not tolerate anyone who betrays us!"

Su Mo paused, her rice spoon still in her hand, then stared at Su Banxia with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Sister, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I told Grandma about our house construction?"

Su Banxia snorted coldly.

"What a coincidence! You just got back and Grandma couldn't wait to cause trouble? And she even knew that I had money to pay the workers today?"

Upon hearing this, Su Mo's eyes immediately reddened, and she threw the rice scoop in her hand into the pot.

"Su Banxia, ​​what exactly do you mean? Does this mean that people who have made mistakes can't repent and reform?!"

As she spoke, Su Mo wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

“Su Banxia, ​​let me tell you, I, Su Mo, said yesterday that once I return to the second branch of the family, I will no longer have any connection with the old Su family. I genuinely want to do something for the second branch. I really didn’t expect that I would be so worthless in your eyes.”

As she spoke, Su Mo gave a cold laugh.

"Ha, now everyone in the second branch has to listen to you. Anyone who doesn't do what you want will be punished by you. Why don't you use the same energy you used to punish Grandma on me? Anyway, in your eyes, I'll always be a traitor!"

Seeing Su Mo's aggrieved expression, Su Banxia said in a deep voice:

“I’m not like your parents or older brother, I’m not that easy to fool. These tricks of yours, pretending to be wronged, are just leftovers from my past.”

Upon hearing this, Su Mo stomped her foot angrily and said:

"Su Banxia, ​​let me tell you, I, Su Mo, am a woman of my word. If I did something, I did it; if I didn't, I didn't. I didn't do this today. Even if you beat me to death, I will not admit it. Believe it or not!"

After saying that, Su Mo ran away crying.

Su Shiyan, who was squatting on the ground eating, saw this and hurried over to inquire.

"Big sister, what's wrong? Why is little sister running away crying?"

Su Banxia watched Su Mo's retreating figure and said in a deep voice:

"Ignore her, eat your food."

After saying that, he took out a food box, filled two portions of food, and hurriedly headed towards the bamboo house on the mountaintop.

When Su Banxia arrived at the bamboo house, she happened to see Wei Kezhi practicing martial arts in the courtyard. Su Banxia, ​​who was worried that Wei Kezhi was hungry, had not paid attention to the scratches on her arms and ankles caused by thorns when she rushed up the mountain. Now, seeing Wei Kezhi practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard with great energy, she could no longer suppress her anger.

Just now, at the foot of Dwarf Mountain, I fought with Granny Liu and also broke off relations with Su Mo, who betrayed the second wife.

Having finally climbed the mountain with great effort, he saw Wei Kezhi, who had been lying in bed unable to move, practicing swordsmanship in a very respectable manner. He immediately felt that all his sincere efforts had been wasted.

It turns out he had already recovered; he just treated her like a free servant, enjoying her daily free time coming up the mountain to clean, cook, and wash dishes for him.

Su Banxia strode into the courtyard and shouted at Wei Kezhi:

"Wei Kezhi, you liar, you're such a good actor. Your leg has been healed for a long time, yet you've been lying to me for so long. All my hard work bringing you food every day has been for nothing. Heh, do you think I'm as easy to fool as an idiot?"

After Su Banxia finished speaking, she threw the food box in her hand to the ground and sneered:

"I'm so ridiculous. I thought you were really paralyzed and bedridden, unable to take care of yourself. I actually came here to be your nanny for so long!"

After saying that, Su Banxia didn't let Wei Kezhi, who looked anxious, speak. She turned around and ran down the mountain.

Upon seeing this, Wei Kezhi quickly dropped his sword and gave chase, shouting as he went:

"No, Banxia, ​​it's not what you think! Wait for me, Su Banxia! Don't run too fast!"

Wei Kezhi limped after her for a long time, until he could no longer see Su Banxia's shadow, then he sat down on the ground and sighed:

"My leg is indeed a bit better, but it's not completely healed. So, I'm not exactly lying to you, am I? Besides, I just wanted to see you a few more times, which is why I tricked you into coming up the mountain to cook for me."

As he spoke, Wei Kezhi punched a ginkgo tree beside him, muttering to himself:

"It's all my fault. I lied to you. I should have told you sooner. Sigh, I was wrong. I was too selfish. Su Banxia, ​​I don't know what's wrong with me. I lose my composure whenever I'm around you..."

Wei Kezhi felt as if his heart was being pierced by needles. When he saw Su Banxia leave, he felt as if he had returned to his childhood and experienced the helplessness and fear of being abandoned in a corner by that person countless times.

Wei Kezhi clenched his fists and stood up, walking dazedly towards the bamboo house. When he returned to the courtyard, he saw the food box that Su Banxia had thrown on the ground, and his eyes immediately reddened.

He squatted down in the courtyard and started eating the food scattered on the ground with his hands. This was a way of eating that he often did when he was bullied by the palace maids when he was a child. He had no choice but to eat like this to fill his stomach and survive.

He remembered his deceased nanny telling him that as long as he lived, there was hope, so he always tried his best to live. Then he met Su Banxia, ​​and he thought his life would change from then on.

But unexpectedly, even Su Banxia has now left him...

Wei Kezhi squatted down and ate all the food Su Banxia had brought. Afterwards, Wei Kezhi sat on the ground in a daze for a moment, looking around the courtyard, where Su Banxia's shadow was everywhere.

"Banxia, ​​I really know I was wrong. I won't lie to you again. Please forgive me..."

Wei Kezhi murmured to himself:

"By the way, Banxia, ​​you like to eat pork, I'll go to the mountain right now to hunt a wild boar for you!"

With that, Wei Kezhi limped to his feet, went to his storeroom to get his bow and arrows and dagger, closed the courtyard gate, and ran into the mountains.

Today he was determined to catch a fat, big wild boar and personally deliver it to Su Banxia. Regardless of whether she would forgive him or not, she would definitely be happy to see the wild boar.

Thinking of Su Banxia's happy expression, Wei Kezhi became even more motivated. Ignoring the pain in his leg, he ran quickly through the woods and soon spotted a large, plump wild boar.

Wei Kezhi found a good position and remained still. When he saw the wild boar grazing with its head down, he quickly took out his bow and arrow and shot it at the boar's head without hesitation.

Wei Kezhi's archery skills were extremely accurate. He quickly shot several arrows in succession, and the wild boar fell to the ground. Wei Kezhi went forward and used his dagger to confirm that the wild boar was completely dead. Only then did he take out a plank and a rope and drag the wild boar down the mountain.
