348 Surprise (2)
Even though the women in this mountain pass were bolder than the women outside, she was still a little embarrassed to ask this question.
South Wind was Eldest Young Master’s subordinate. She couldn’t ask Eldest Young Master such a question, right? She could only ask Young Madam.
Shen Yijia paused and looked up. She blinked. Did Du Huaiyu like South Wind? When did the two of them interact? Why didn’t she know? Every time Du Huaiyu came, South Wind was not around.
After waiting for a while, Shen Yijia did not answer. Du Huaiyu was inexplicably nervous.
The first time she saw South Wind was when Song Jingchen asked South Wind to go to the village to inform the women that they could also join the army.
She even led him around the village. At that time, she felt that South Wind was different from the rough men she had seen since she was young.
Later on, she could always see him walking in and out of the military camp with Eldest Young Master. After paying more attention, a notion sprouted in her heart.
“No.” Shen Yijia’s eyes flashed. She did not think there was anything wrong with Du Huaiyu asking this.
Du Huaiyu was overjoyed and showed it on her face. She started off and asked, “Then does he have someone he likes?”
Shen Yijia thought for a moment. She really did not know about this. She looked behind Du Huaiyu. “South Wind, do you have someone in mind?”
Du Huaiyu’s eyes widened. She turned around in a daze and saw South Wind standing not far behind her.
She blushed.
South Wind, who was about to leave quietly, thought to himself, “Young Madam, do you know that you’ll make people feel awkward by doing that?”
However, he did not dare to not answer Shen Yijia’s question. He could only lower his head. “No.”
After some thought, he added, “I have no plans to get married for the time being.”
Shen Yijia ignored his last sentence and turned to Du Huaiyu. “He said no, which means you still have a chance.”
Du Huaiyu originally felt a little uncomfortable when he heard South Wind’s last sentence. Wasn’t this indirectly rejecting her?
However, Shen Yijia’s words ignited hope in her heart again. She looked at South Wind with sparkling eyes, as if asking if there was any hope for her.
South Wind felt his scalp tingle. What was wrong with all these women these days?
Shen Yijia waved her hand, looking reasonable. “The two of you can talk among yourselves.”
South Wind was silent for a moment before cupping his hands again. “Master asked me to come back and tell Young Madam that he might be busy until late today. He asked Young Madam not to wait for him to come back for dinner and to rest early.”
Shen Yijia’s face fell and she waved her hand. “I know, I know.”
Her beautiful husband had asked her if the army could use the crossbows she created, and she said yes. Ever since then, her beautiful husband had been busy.
She didn’t need to guess what he was busy with.
Shen Yijia was silent for a while. Suddenly, she thought of something and her eyes flashed. She grinned.
After completing the mission given by Song Jingchen, South Wind turned around and left. Du Huaiyu hesitated for a moment before jogging after him. Anyway, he already knew what she was thinking, so there was no need to hide her intentions.
Shen Yijia looked at their backs, threw away the pestle, and secretly followed them.
Unfortunately, when Shen Yijia arrived, only Du Huaiyu was left standing there alone. She could vaguely see South Wind’s back view getting further and further away.
“So soon? Did she succeed or not?” she thought.
She was still wondering if she should go over and ask, but Du Huaiyu discovered her first.
“Thank you, Young Madam.” Du Huaiyu smiled at Shen Yijia, and two dimples appeared on his round face.
Shen Yijia asked, “Did it work?”
Du Huaiyu was depressed. “No.”
She had followed South Wind out just now. Without waiting for her to speak, South Wind spoke first.
“There are many good men in this world. Miss Du, you don’t have to waste your time on me. I have no intention of getting married.”
With that, he left without giving her a chance to speak.
Shen Yijia felt a little regretful and comforted him. “There are plenty of fish in the sea. Don’t be sad. I’ll introduce you to someone better when I have the chance.”
There were nine Mahjong Brothers, and Thirty Thousand had someone in mind. Aside from the two of them, there were still seven others.
Unexpectedly, Du Huaiyu shook her head and said firmly, “I won’t give up.”
Shen Yijia gave her a thumbs up. “Good luck. If you need it, I can get Mo Yuan to prepare two packets of medicine for you.”
After reading so many novels, she naturally wouldn’t be stupid enough to think that the drug was enough.
Du Huaiyu did not expect the woman from the capital to be even bolder than her. She blushed and stammered, “Yes, if there’s a need, I’ll ask Young Madam for help.”
