Qi Qin’er was confused. No one had ever told her these things…
‘This sister… Seems like a good person.’
“Little Fatty…” Feng Ruqing raised her eyebrows and turned to the little fatty. “Since you’ve brought an extra person, hurry up and get to work. I’m a little tired, don’t bother me if there is nothing important.”
“Oh, alright!”
The little fatty chuckled and grabbed Qi Qin’er, taking a shovel out of his storage bag and placing it in Qi Qin’er’s hand.
Before Qi Qin’er could react, he had already dragged her to the herbs garden.
***
From that day on, the little fatty would always bring Qi Qin’er to the herbs garden to cultivate, and he had even secretly saved some of his ‘payments’ to give to Qi Qin’er.
After all, Feng Ruqing would not exploit her labors. She would still give some ‘payments’ to anyone who came to work with her.
Initially, Qi Qin’er didn’t know what these ‘payments’ were, but after hearing the little fatty say that they were all spirit herbs, she was a bit dumbfounded.
Wu Shang City did have spirit herbs, but these were all very precious.
Even Father would not just give away spirit herbs to anyone but would reserve them for those with stronger talents.
Qi Yu was an exception. Because of his physique, he needed to take the spirit herbs often, but for Qi Qin’er, these spirit herbs were something she had never come across before.
The innocent Qi Qin’er lowered her eyes to hide her feelings. Her voice was choked with sobs. “Sister Feng… Is actually a good person.”
She wanted to give the spirit herbs to Qi Qin’er, but she could not find any excuse to give her a gift. Therefore, she had deliberately asked her to work in her garden and give her the spirit herbs as payment.
She had never met such a nice person in this world…
“This is for you.”
The little fatty slipped the spirit herbs to Qi Qin’er. “Pretty Sister said that you’re a bit slow, so you need these spirit herbs to sharpen your brain.”
“I… Don’t need them…”
Qi Qin’er pursed her lips and tried to reject it.
But the little fatty was a little angry. “I ask you to take it, so just take it. I’m smart. I don’t need these spirit herbs. You’re too stupid, so you must eat more. If you keep making excuses, I won’t play with you again.”
Qi Qin’er panicked. It was hard for her to get so close to Yu’er, so she did not want to be hated by him again.
“I’ll take it… I’ll just take it. Don’t be angry.” Qi Qin’er panicked and took the spirit herbs from the little fatty’s hand.
The little fatty did not notice Qi Qin’er’s panic. His heart was quietly relieved and said, “Let’s go back to the palace. If we’re late, Father will notice us.”
“Alright…”
Qi Qin’er nodded and quickly followed the little fatty. She was still a bit timid, but she at least dared to look up at people now compared to before.

Wu Shang City.
Because it was nearly dusk, there were quite a few people left on the streets. Qi Qin’er seemed afraid and followed the little fatty closely, afraid that this crowd would squeeze her to death.
The little fatty was in a hurry to get back to the palace and did not notice the fear in Qi Qin’er’s eyes.
He did not know why there were more people than usual. The crowd next to him came over, and suddenly someone had pushed Qi Qin’er hard, causing her to fall backward.
“Ahh!”
She was so frightened that her face turned pale, and her heart trembled harder. She quickly tried to reach out to tug at something, but she accidentally pulled at the little fatty’s pants, tearing his pants.
The little fatty shivered as he felt a sudden cold. He looked down and realized that he was already naked…
