Chapter 314: Dispute at the cotton field

“Okay, then I’ll go!” Xi Que nodded, smiling.

“Go, go, just be careful and don’t step on the seedlings, otherwise I will feel distressed!” Lian Fang Zhou smiled at her.

“Naturally, naturally!” Xi Que hurriedly laughed.

Lian Fang Zhou stood up, saying: “I have something to do, you see—”

Xi Que had long given up on expecting Lian Fang Zhou to flatter her and no longer cared about Lian Fang Zhou’s attitude. She said: “I should go back too! I’m leaving, Miss Lian!”

“Walk slowly!” Lian Fang Zhou nodded, watching her leave.

She was only a maid, she wouldn’t rush to send her out in person.

After Xi Que left, Lian Fang Zhou’s face sank.

In fact, when Xi Que had mentioned the cotton fields, Lian Fang Zhou had become vigilant in her heart but knew that the more vigilant a person was, the harder it was to learn clues, so she answered Xi Que’s questions in a calm tone.

She also knew that her cotton field was so large that even if she disagreed, if Xi Que wanted to see it, she could find somewhere to take a look. Since this was the case, why not speak generously?

After a while, Ah Jian came in and frowned: “For some reason, I felt that Xi Que was different this time. Fang Zhou, what is she planning?”

Lian Fang Zhou shook her head: “I’m not a god, where can I guess? Young Lady Zhao seems to be very interested in our cotton fields!”

Ah Jian knew how much Lian Fang Zhou valued those cotton seedlings, so he said: “It’s natural to be curious, after all you bought so much land and made many big movements! However, its better to be careful and let Qin Feng go back. Let me go as well! How about raising three or four more dogs?”

“Hm, that should be okay…” Lian Fang Zhou agreed that this was necessary. While the cotton seedlings were still small, it was easy to see everything at a glance. However, after the end of summer, the cotton seedlings would grow and flourish. After the cotton field was entirely covered, even if you hid a few people in it, could they be seen? In case someone did pull some tricks, it would really be a big loss!

Lian Fang Zhou started to think about where to buy a dog. When she looked up again, she saw that Ah Jian looked hesitant, as if he wanted to say something. She hurriedly smiled: “Is there anything else to say?”

Ah Jian thought for a while and then shook his head: “No.”

After careful consideration, he didn’t mention that Xi Que had asked him to go and teach their workers. Anyways, he had already refused so there was no need to say any more, save her from thinking about it…

In Shitouping, Xi Que arrived at the cotton fields and heard a dog barking before she even got close. When she jumped, two big, ferocious dogs appeared, sticking their tongues out, shaking their heads, and huffing, scaring her.

They were immediately followed by Wang San, Wang Si, and Wang Wu, who were in charge of guarding the fields. When they saw her, they came closer and looked at her. Wang San said: “Who are you, is something wrong?”

“I am the close maid of Young Lady Zhao from the county town. I just came from Dafang village, visiting your master, Miss Lian. I just wanted to walk around and take a look, Miss Lian knows about this!” She wiggled her waist and gave them a charming smile.

The three of them looked at each other and Wang San said politely: “If that’s the case, miss can look from the side, don’t go in. Unless our Miss sends someone to instruct us, we don’t let anyone in. If they trample the seeds, we can’t afford it!”

“Oh, three big brothers! You’re so serious, I’ll be very careful!” Xi Que cast a wink and smiled.

In fact, she hadn’t originally intended to go in but since Wang San said so, she now wanted to go in!

Wang San and the others were unaffected by her wink and kept insisting.

Xi Que immediately put down her playful expression and gave Wang San a blank glance. The white of her eyes was not fierce but the anger was strong.

“So annoying!” Xi Que twisted her waist and stomped her feet cutely, saying: “I said I will be careful, don’t you believe me!? Hmph, I, Xi Que, am not a foolish person! It’s just walking around, you guys are too stingy!”

“Our Miss has given this order, these subordinates don’t dare to disobey, so please don’t embarrass me in front of our Miss! If miss really wants to go in, go back and ask our Miss to send someone back, we will definitely not dare to stop you again!” Wang San said, still polite.

“I just want to look! As long as you don’t say anything, how would your Miss know? I really don’t know why you’re acting like this.”

Wang San suddenly looked serious: “Miss is wrong! You are also a servant, don’t you know why a servant would not dare to disobey a master’s orders?”

“You—” Xi Que immediately turned red from anger and embarrassment.

Thinking bitterly in her heart: Is there something wrong with this Lian family? How can all of them have such bad tempers? Are all of them blind? I’m such a big beauty standing right in front of them, but they don’t see me at all! Hmph, what’s so good? Everywhere else I go, people flatter me, I have never seen such an elm head!”

“I say, you three big men being so serious with a girl, are you not ashamed?” Zhao San stopped the carriage and came over to greet the three men with a smile.

Wang San was bought later to replace him but Wang Si and Wang Wu remembered him and they couldn’t help but exchange glances when they saw him, making no secret of the contempt in their hearts.

At the beginning, Zhao San had been severely taught but Lian Fang Zhou and they had all seen the reason for it with their own eyes. Seeing him again, they understood what was going on.

Even though it had been so long, they still felt a little disgusted seeing Zhao San and thinking of his shabby appearance back then.

“Why are you here?” Wang Si couldn’t help asking.

Zhao San gave him a friendly smile and said: “After I left here, I entered the Zhao manor. Do you know which Zhao manor? It’s the Zhao family of the richest man in Yuhe county! I drove Miss Xi Que’s carriage.”

After a pause, he added: “I have been to Dafang village several times, didn’t Miss Lian tell you?”

Wang Si and Wang Wu stared at him, quite speechless, thinking: what kind of thing are you that Miss Lian would need to specially tells us?

What does your business have to do with us?

“Yeah!” Without waiting for them to answer, Zhao San laughed with a sneer: “She didn’t care about the feelings between a master and servant and drove me away, wishing I would die miserably outside in her heart! Ha! Now I have entered the Zhao manor, which is a hundred times more powerful than her shabby place and live more glamorously than before. It would be strange if she could feel good in her heart, of course she wouldn’t’ say anything about me!”

In fact, Zhao San had really thought a lot about what had happened after he had first came to the Lian house. However, Lian Fang Zhou didn’t care at all, let alone taking the initiative to tell others.
