Sisters in the Deep Forest Valley: Many Fun Things

I'm not sure, but it felt like they were being called.

So Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan turned their heads in confusion.

Yes, a man was indeed calling out to them from about ten meters away. When the middle-aged man saw them turn around, he and his companion strode towards them.

Yang Huiyun frowned and whispered to them, "Who is that person? Do you know him? Why is he suddenly yelling at you in the street? How rude!"

As the person drew closer, the two sisters' eyes glazed over for a moment. Those clothes, that person… they looked familiar… who was it again…?

ah! I remembered!

The two sisters pulled Yang Huiyun aside and said seriously but quietly, "Shh, sister-in-law, don't say anything yet. Just call out to the people with us."

"Huh?" Yang Huiyun was confused as they pulled her toward the two people.

They went up to him, cupped their hands in greeting, and said, "So it's Lord Zhang."

The other one they didn't recognize. But the one dressed in the same black uniform as the official Zhang Wei, walking side by side, and even slightly ahead, couldn't possibly be of a lower rank than Zhang Wei, could he?

Then, "I have met you, sir."

Zhang Wei's companion frowned slightly, a hint of impatience in his eyes. However, he quickly relaxed and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

"My lord? What lord? Oh no! Did they hear what she just said?!"

Yang Huiyun's heart tightened, and she quickly followed suit with a somewhat awkward bow: "Greetings, Your Excellencies."

My legs were shaking so badly that my palms and back were almost soaked with sweat.

Zhang Wei waved his hand and said, "You two girls are so young, why are you always so reserved in your speech and actions? We are just ordinary servants of the yamen, don't keep calling us 'sir'. And this lady, there's no need to be nervous."

Of course, some people are willing to take this official seriously, and it would be a lie to say they are unhappy!

After all, most of the time, no one really cares about the position of a government official.

People with money and power don't take them seriously.

Some ordinary people were either instinctively afraid because of the words "county government office" and the swords they carried; or they thought that they were just servants who ran errands for the county government office and the county magistrate.

There are very few people who would actually consider someone like them as an "official".

Lin Chunyi didn't explain much, only politely inquiring, "It's been a long time since I've seen Lord Zhang. How have you been?"

She was lucky; she managed to find out Zhang Wei's worries as soon as she asked him.

Zhang Wei frowned, shook his head and sighed, "Not good."

"..." Lin Chunyi's smile froze slightly.

Hey! Uncle, what's wrong with you? Don't you know how to have a conversation?

Shouldn't this be a casual greeting like, "Hey, how have you been lately?"?

Then the other person casually replied, "I'm doing alright, how about you?"

How can someone actually speak such blunt truths under these circumstances?!

Oh no! What do I do now? What should I do next? Is it really appropriate to politely ask them why again?

Ugh! That's so impolite!

Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't hear it...

Fortunately, Zhang Wei realized that his words were inappropriate, so he said again:

"Look at me, why am I telling you this? By the way, I saw you wandering around here from a distance, what are you doing? This is not a place for you!"

Lin Chunyi and Lin Lanshan didn't dare to ask any more questions, fearing that he would reveal something about county government affairs that they shouldn't hear.

The two quickly shook their heads in denial: "We were just passing by, just passing by!"

"That's good. Then you should leave quickly. There's a very troublesome person here..."

"Business is business," another officer interjected expressionlessly.

"Right, right! Ugh, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about the important things!" Zhang Wei glanced at the door of the Paradise Pavilion with a hint of resentment, as if he were looking through the door at someone inside who gave him a headache.

The two sisters were just looking for an excuse to leave, so they bowed slightly and said goodbye: "Then we won't disturb you two gentlemen's work any longer, we'll take our leave now."

He turned around, lifted his foot, and said, "Alright, go ahead."

As the two sisters were about to leave, Zhang Wei remembered what had happened earlier and joked with them, "Be careful on your way back, and don't grab onto anything on the road."

The two sisters were so embarrassed they didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, they had already entered the Paradise Palace and didn't care whether they responded or not.

Lin Chunyi let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Then let's go too."

Although there were few people coming and going from the Pleasure Pavilion at this time, many passersby were already staring at them because they were talking to two government officials in front of a brothel.

Lin Lanshan nodded, but before leaving, she couldn't help but peek inside out of curiosity: Had something happened at the Paradise Pavilion...?

Yang Huiyun's mind was in complete chaos, like a lump of paste being struggled to be stirred!

Not knowing what to say or do, I let the two of them walk away arm in arm, one on each side.

After leaving the Paradise Pavilion for quite a distance, Lin Lanshan waved her hand in front of Yang Huiyun's eyes: "Sister-in-law? Wake up, it's time to come back to your senses."

"Huh?" Yang Huiyun's mind was still racing. How did Xiaoyi and Lanshan get involved with the officials? What did they arrest? When did this happen?

She asked anxiously, "Lanshan, what happened to those two officials just now? You..."

"Sister-in-law, let's talk in the car," Lin Chunyi interrupted her.

They definitely need to explain what happened today properly, otherwise it will be even more difficult to get past Uncle Lin and Aunt Zhang when they get back to the village.

Those two are the hardest to fool!

"Oh, right!" There are so many people around now, it's definitely not convenient to talk.

Yang Huiyun quickly climbed onto the mule cart.

While Lin Lanshan was driving, Lin Chunyi told Yang Huiyun about the robbery they had happened to encounter earlier.

However, she omitted some key details of the incident that were inconvenient to disclose: the robbers were wanted criminals in the county, and they had even robbed them in return, met the county magistrate, and received a reward, etc.

After hearing this, Yang Huiyun took a long time to process it before accepting it.

She remained silent for a long time, finally saying only:

“You two are incredibly bold! You’ve encountered something so serious, and you haven’t mentioned it to us at all! I definitely can’t keep this from Father and Mother. You two should go back and explain it to them yourselves.”

"Sister-in-law, it's been almost a year since this happened, we've long forgotten about it, so let's not talk about it anymore~" Lin Chunyi said, rubbing her hands together ingratiatingly.

Yang Huiyun uttered two words expressionlessly: "No."

Lin Chunyi pouted, then turned her head away and gave a soft hum.

She knew that her sister-in-law, though seemingly carefree, was never ambiguous about serious matters.
