However, she still nodded, pretending to be serious.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Nie."

Nie Yuan simply waved his hand dismissively and replied:

"You don't need to be so polite with me. Just call me Nie Yuan from now on. I'm not bragging, but in these dozen or so villages around here, no one dares to mess with me, Nie Yuan, and there's no one or nothing that I, Nie Yuan, can't handle."

His arrogant and boastful manner truly disgusted Lan Zhi.

She took the broom from his hand and nodded.

"I understand, go back!"

"I've been working for you all day, I'm all sweaty, can't you at least let me in for a drink of water?"

"My temple is too small to accommodate such a great Buddha as Young Master Nie. Please go back!"

After saying that, she nudged him with a broom, and he took a few steps back, nodding sheepishly.

"Okay, I'll head back now. If you need anything, just call me. I'm usually at Sha Dazhu's house, not far from yours, just the yard in front without a gate. I'll be there whenever you call."

Lan Zhi pushed him all the way to the gate, closed it, locked it, and then went into the courtyard without looking back.

Erlu and the others, who were waiting at the door, pulled him to squat in the corner and immediately whispered and chuckled:

"Brother, you didn't even go inside, did you? Did you work for them for nothing?"

"Exactly, before you went in you said you were going to win her over with your charm, but now look what happened, you got kicked out."

"Hahaha……"

Nie Yuan glared at them and retorted irritably:

“What do you know? I’m playing the long game. Practice makes perfect. She let me into the yard this time, so she’ll definitely let me into the house next time, and then… I’ll be able to get on the kang (heated brick bed)…”

"Wow..."

Before he could finish speaking, a basin of water fell from the sky and landed directly on their heads, instantly soaking them to the bone.

"Who?"

He wiped the water from his face, clutched his head, and cursed. The others looked up and saw Lan Zhi standing on the wall, holding a basin, peering out and asking curiously.

"What are you guys doing squatting in the corner of my house? Look, I've poured this whole basin of urine on you."

Urine?

Nie Yuan hurriedly sniffed his sleeve, then gagged. Seeing this, the others turned and ran towards the river...

Seeing their disheveled appearance, Lan Zhi couldn't help but smile.

"You think your wicked schemes can escape my discerning eyes?"

Xiao Xin, her eyes blinking slightly, offered a disdainful reminder.

"It's Xiaoxin's discerning eye."

She raised her hand and gently stroked Xiaoxin. "Yes, it was Xiaoxin's keen eye. Luckily you reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have known that these bastards were lurking in the corner plotting against me."

Xiao Xin seemed rather smug. After her eyes blinked a few times, it turned into an ordinary necklace.

Lan Zhi arrived at Mo Ning's room, and before she could even get close, he asked anxiously,

Who just came?

"Nie Yuan".

"What is he here for?"

Mo Ning seemed quite resistant upon hearing his name.

"He came to help me clean the yard, but he's already left."

"You're quite popular."

His tone was tinged with jealousy. She squinted as she approached the bedside, raising an eyebrow at him.

"Are you jealous?"

He quickly turned his face to the side.

"I have no right."

"But everyone calls me the daughter-in-law of the Mo family, and the Mo family refers to you, so why don't you have the right?"

"Ah!"

He sneered,

"How could a useless person like me dare to hope for a wife?"

"Do you really want to be bedridden for the rest of your life? If I said I could help you, would you believe me?"

He turned his head inward and sneered again.

"Don't tell the same lie twice. If I hadn't been so trusting back then, things wouldn't have come to this."

It seems he's been fooled so many times that he's unwilling to believe her at all.

How can she possibly convince him?

It seems that we'll have to use some special methods to deal with this man who has a rather eccentric and even stubborn temper.

Thinking of this, she said to him mysteriously:

"Wait here, I'll give you a gift, maybe you'll like it."

Before receiving a response from him, she quickly left the house, went into the yard, and called out directly to Xiaoxin:

"Xiaoxin, Xiaoxin, I need a wheelchair."

Xiao Xin's eyes sparkled, and she replied directly:

"Xiaoxin received it."

The moment she finished speaking, an exquisite wheelchair appeared before her.

She happily went forward, pushed the wheelchair, and went back into the house.

When she pushed her wheelchair up to him, his eyes blinked a few times, and when he was sure he wasn't seeing things, he looked at her with a puzzled expression.

Ever since this woman changed his diaper yesterday, he's felt that she's acting a bit strange.

He had never seen the things she used before, not even when they were in the palace.

Now she's inexplicably come up with this strange chair.

He suddenly looked at her in horror, "What is this? Where did you get it?"

She patted the armrest of her wheelchair and excitedly introduced:

"This is called a wheelchair. Look down here, there are two wheels. You sit on it, and it can take you anywhere you want to go."

"who are you?"

His voice trembled slightly, and his tone became stiff.

She kindly found him a wheelchair, but he doubted her.

She frowned unhappily and replied:

"I am Ling Lanzhi."

Mo Ning shook his head vigorously.

"They all say you're a female ghost..."

"Hahaha……"

She threw her head back and laughed, while Mo Ning questioned her in horror.

"why are you laughing?"

"I laugh at your foolishness. You believed them when they said I was a female ghost? Then let me ask you, has this female ghost ever harmed you?"

Mo Ning thought for a moment, then shook her head guiltily, "No."

"Have I, this female ghost, ever frightened you?"

Mo Ning shook her head again, "No."

"Have I, this female ghost, ever harbored any ill intentions towards you? Have I ever had any designs on you?"

Mo Ning bit her lip guiltily.

"I have nothing to offer that would make anyone want to take advantage of me."

She smiled helplessly.

"Since that's the case, what else do you have to doubt? Everyone in Kangzhuang Village can doubt me, but you are the only exception. If I were a female ghost and had something on my mind about you, why would I bother serving you in bed, feeding you, and taking care of your dilapidated home? Wouldn't it be better for me to find a strong and healthy man?"

Her words ultimately made him feel utterly ashamed.

Yes, everyone else can doubt her, but he can't. She takes such good care of him, what right does he have to doubt her?

"sorry!"

He finally softened his tone.

"I...I shouldn't have doubted you."

She waved her hand dismissively, then pushed the wheelchair aside and turned to him solemnly, saying:

"No need to apologize. You know the reason. I'll tell you one last time: I'm staying to fulfill my promise to Aunt Mo. I also want to try to heal your injuries. If you trust me, cooperate with me completely. It might give you a chance to live. If you don't trust me, I won't force you. You don't need to answer me right away. I'll give you a day to think about it."
