Goldfield
Chapter 180: Destiny

Zhu Junxi's cold gaze swept around. The burning impatience within him turned into anger. She didn't really care what Xia Furong tried to do but when she implicated him, she couldn't let him continue, “Miss Xia's words were not true! This little girl runs a business and I buy what she sells. It was a fair deal, so why didn't he take my money? Or does Miss Xia believe that my Zhu Family cannot afford to spend ten taels to buy a watermelon? ”

“No! That's not what I meant. ”Second Young Master Zhu finally noticed him, but the look in his eyes was filled with hatred. Xia Furong was terrified. In front of Young Master Zhu, he had to be more patient. He immediately regretted being angered by the lowly peasant girl and letting Second Young Master Zhu see the downside of —— it was all the fault of that lowly peasant girl!

Xia Furong was the one who was originally guilty but he still blamed his victims. This type of person was truly too ridiculous!

Zhu Junxi carried the watermelon in her hand as she walked out. Xia Furong looked at him as if a magnet was pulling his eyes at him. He stared longingly at the imposing figure for a long time before he reluctantly threw his face away.

Yu Xiaocao felt ashamed for this girl. Is it okay for him to be love drunk in front of older people?

"Furong! Don't let me regret taking you! ” Lady Fang did not hide her disappointment towards Xia Furong and her tone became much more serious.

Xia Furong reluctantly returned his attention and angrily glared at Xiaocao, who was happily watching the show. Anger bubbled in his heart, ‘That's all one of these cunning brats! He stole all my aunt's love and help. In the past, Aunty never could bear to scold me! ”Again, Yu Xiaocao became his scapegoat.

“Come, Furong! Let me introduce you. This is the adopted daughter that your uncle recognizes, so she's also your cousin's sister. You are a little older than her, so you should treat your little sister well. ” Mistress Fang knew that her nephew had a bit of hostility towards Xiaocao, so she deliberately warned Xia Furong.

“Godmother, your nephew is naturally my older sister, so don't worry, we will definitely get along well.” Yu Xiaocao pulled Xia Furong's hand intimately and swayed lightly. “Sir, much to do here! We can climb up the hill to dig up wild vegetables, catch pheasants, and even go down to the beach to collect shells and seafood! Tomorrow I will take you to dig some sandworms ah! Sandworms here are long and plump. They are thicker than my fingers, very long, and soft. When you touch them, they feel slippery, like large earthworms. ”.

This little boy knew that Xia Furong was a pampered girl from a rich family, so he would not like insects. Xiaocao deliberately described the appearance of the sandworm very clearly. As expected, Xia Furong turned pale after hearing his description and forcefully let go of Xiaocao's hand. He even pushed Xiaocao a little and screeched, “Go! You really are a dirty farmer !! ”

Xiaocao staggered at his thrust and his back smashed into the door frame, making an extremely loud noise. Tears flowed from the corner of his eye (Author's note: He didn't pretend, it was very painful.) And she raised her little face. She cried pitifully and innocently, “ Godmother, I feel Old Cousin does not like me. Even so, she cannot just curse at me! We are all human and have parents. I am also the treasure of my parents, so how can I be dirty and low? ”

Lady Fang's patience was almost depleted by her nephew's behavior today. He looked at Xia Furong, who had a look of disdain on her face that he was unwilling to hide. The older woman thought of her nephew's previous sensible and sincere personality .. haha, it seems that it was all an act to get into his good graces ah! Now that his nephew knew that the Fang Family had adopted a daughter, his previous hopes had been dashed. Did he think there was no need to hide his true nature anymore now?

“Xiaocao, come here, let godmother see if you are hurt or not?” Lady Fang pulled Xiaocao's hand and gently touched his back, which was injured.

“Godmother, pain..” Xiaocao feels a bruise on her back now. He did not expect that a young girl, who looked delicate and weak, could have such great strength. Did he provoke the girl too much?

Lady Fang remembered the voice that sounded when her adopted daughter collided with the door frame. He knew that Xiaocao did not pretend and comfort the young girl, “Xiaocao, let's go to the inner courtyard. The Godmother will help you rub a little medicinal oil on your wound and the pain will soon stop. ”

As he spoke, he held Xiaocao's small hand and walked along with his two servants through the store towards the inner courtyard. When he passed Xia Furong, he did not even bother to glance at the other girl.

When Lady Fang was young, she was the legitimate daughter of the main branch, so she grew up on the matriarch's side. Although the relationship of the Xia Family was quite complicated, the matriarch's complex was as peaceful as a heavenly garden. Thus, Lady Fang grew into an open-minded and honest young woman who knew very well what she liked and disliked. If he likes you, he will give his best for you. However, if he doesn't like you, he'll ignore you as if you weren't there.

The page relationship within the Xia Family was not peaceful and there were many plans and disputes. Naturally, Lady Fang was aware of this. He originally believed that his nephew, Xia Furong, was like he was the only pure lotus flower that grew from the dirty and muddy Xia Family. However, he did not expect that his nephew had pretended to fool him. For those people who tried to cover her eyes with wool, Miss Fang would not like them the way she originally liked them.

Xia Furong had accompanied her aunt for nearly two years in the Fang Family and naturally understood her aunt's personality. When he saw Lady Fang pass by and ignored him, he immediately panicked. He immediately tried to explain, “Aunt, previously I. was afraid of Young Cousin. You also know that nephews are afraid of insects. At that moment, I did not think clearly and accidentally injured Young Cousin. I want to apologize to her now.. ”.

Even up until now, she had no idea what her biggest mistake was, eh? Argh, she really did not judge properly this time .. Madam Fang paused for a moment but did not even turn her head before she continued forward.

When Xia Furong heard what Xiaocao said, her face turned into another ugly expression, These stupid ‘Sockeys are definitely destined not to meet me in person! Not only did she steal my aunt's love from me, but she also always found a way to secretly slander me in front of Auntie! It won't work, I have to let Aunt see Yu Xiaocao's true colors! ‘

“Auntie, I said the wrong thing when my mindset was not right. However, Younger Cousin only compared me to the shrewd woman in his village, Bibi... ”Xia Furong took out her handkerchief and wiped the corner of her eyes. He lowered his head, as if he was the one being bullied.

Lady Fang lightly sighed, “In a few days, I will ask someone to send you back to the capital. Tanggu City is too small, so you will not get used to living in this place. ”

“Auntie, don't kick me out! I'll get used to staying here, I swear! ” Xia Furong started to panic. Back to the capital? There was no one at home in the General’s Estate, so he knew he wouldn't go back there. Instead, he would be sent back to the Xia Family residence. He was thirteen years old. If she was sent back to the Xia Family, then she would likely be sent to the residence of a high official to become a concubine to give the Xia Family some advantage. After the matriarch died, the Xia Family became even more chaotic and muddy …

When Lady Fang saw her nephew had been taken down, she wished she could change for the better. He softly replied, “If you do not want to go, prepare yourself for future difficulties. You need to remember that I am not here to live comfortably. Instead, I am here to help your uncle so that he can work without worry! ”

I'll remember, auntie! Xia Furong looked very emotional and it was not pretending. He's really scared now.

“Godmother, you didn't tell godfather in advance that you were coming right?” When Yu Xiaocao saw Xia Furong lectured, he hurriedly pulled Madam Fang's hand, swayed slightly, and interrupted.

Lady Fang gently stroked her head and led her into the inner courtyard. He spoke as they walked, “That's right! Originally, I wanted to give you and your godfather a pleasant surprise. How do you know that I didn't tell him before? ”

“Baptist father go to prefecture city today! If he knew you would come today, he would absolutely not be able to leave you here ... ”Yu Xiaocao cheerfully raised his head and looked up. His gaze was open and generous, and there was no sign that he wanted to lick or test the water.

He acted as if he regarded Lady Fang as his closest relative. No matter what he said or did, he knew that his closest relatives would not really be angry at him. Finally, Madam Fang completely understood why she had always felt a bit of separation between her and Xia Furong, there was a reason …

Lady Fang lightly patted Xiaocao's head and pretended to be angry, “You brave little girl! You even dared to tease your godmother !! When your godfather returns, I'll tell him! ”

Yu Xiaocao showed a slightly frightened expression on her face, as if she was a frightened little girl and deliberately used a quivering voice to reply, “Don't do that ah! If godfather finds out that I offended you, godmother, then he will definitely break my leg in two ... godmother, please save me ah ~~~~ ”

Lady Fang felt that her small actions were very cute and could not keep her face straight anymore. He finally laughed out loud. The old woman leaned over and pulled Xiaocao's thin and tender body into her arms. She commented in a voice full of excitement, “You are a strange little girl, how can you be so attractive? It's worth your godfather praising you without end! ”

Xia Furong, who was following from behind, almost tore the handkerchief in her hand. Auntie had never treated him so intimately before. No matter how hard she tried to conform to her aunt's wishes, her aunt always had a little distance from her. Why?! Why would this lowly brat be able to get her aunt's unconditional love at first sight?

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaocao was unable to enjoy the embrace of his godmother. He shouted a few times, “Sick, sick! Godmother, my back hurts! ”

Lady Fang remembered the little girl had injured her back. He quickly carried her like a child and stepped quickly into the room.

Yu Xiaocao's butt was at the curve of her godmother's arm, and she wrapped her arm around the woman's neck. She felt a bit awkward inside, ‘I'm almost ten years old, but she treated me as if I was three years old. If others saw this, it would be a great shame! But, I never expected Godmother, who looked so meek and gentle, to be really strong. Was it because godfather knew martial arts that godmother became strong as well? ‘

“Mistress, let me carry her!” Lady Fang's competent maid, Linglong, hurriedly came to take Yu Xiaocao out of the hands of her master.

“No need, the distance is not far, I can hug her!” Lady Fang did not want to let go of the soft and sweet little girl in his arms. If she had given birth to a daughter, would she also be as beautiful and sweet as this?
