However, he kept silent when he watched her chop the vegetables.
He was afraid that she would accidentally cut her fingers in shock if he told her. He decided to keep it in and bring it up after dinner.
In the end, he agreed and went to check on the three children on the bed.
“Okay, I’ll go check on them.”
Wei Na remarked after Qian Jiyun left, “Master, I think things are not that simple. I don’t think he’s staying here because of his sister.”
Although An Jiuyue did not notice his hesitation to speak, Wei Na observed him very carefully.
It refused to believe that Qian Jiyun had no other motives.
“Has your man taken a fancy to you? Maybe he’s preparing to capture you to be his wife!”
An Jiuyue was silent.
She wanted to chop Wei Na up with the knife in her hand if she could! Capture me to be his wife? You ought to know better!
“Shut up!”
Wei Na gasped. Having read her mind, it hurriedly hid in a corner.
Master wants to chop me up… That’s so cruel! Is it a sin to speak my mind?
…
Crash!
A porcelain bowl slipped out of An Jiuyue’s hands and fell into the wooden basin, shattering with a crash. Water splashed up from the basin.
An Jiuyue reached out to pick up the bowl but accidentally cut her finger with the broken pieces.
“Woah!”
“Jiuyue!”
Qian Jiyun immediately rushed over and pulled her hand out of the wooden basin. He took out a handkerchief from his chest pocket and wiped her hand.
He frowned when he saw the blood on her finger and immediately took out some ointment to apply it to her.
He had wanted to talk to her about this when she was relaxed to prevent frightening her. He did not expect to still hurt her. He really wanted to slap himself in the face.
“Does it hurt?”
“N-no, I’m fine.”
An Jiuyue retracted her hand. Her face was burning, and she turned her head away awkwardly.
Wei Na snorted softly in the space.
See? I knew it! This man is up to no good! He’s really here for Master! But she didn’t believe me earlier. Now we’re screwed, aren’t we?
“Master, he is definitely your man. Really.”
An Jiuyue gritted her teeth and hissed at Wei Na, “I’ll seal you away if you don’t shut up!”
Wei Na hurried back to a corner, shivering a little.
Master wants to seal me away!
She is definitely capable of this. Women are not to be trifled with. Angry women? All the more!
An Jiuyue ignored Wei Na and did not want to bother herself with Qian Jiyun.
However, she recalled what Qian Jiyun had said moments ago and turned around to look at him involuntarily.
“What did you… say just now?”
Did I mishear him? Or did Qian Jiyun say that wrongly?
“Lan Zhengfeng went to Ming Gu County to be a county magistrate.” Qian Jiyun looked at her seriously and spoke again.
An Jiuyue was not too emotional when she heard Lan Zhengfeng’s name. After all, he had nothing to do with her in the first place.
However, she suddenly felt sorry for the Host.
As her father, Lan Zhengfeng refused to allow his daughter to return home after her husband died because he wanted to live a life of luxury. But look at him now.
