"What did Baili Yan say to you?" Yang Chuxia asked again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ziāan instantly clenched his fists, with veins bulging on his hands.
"Whatās going on? Tell the truth!" Yang Chuxia raised her voice slightly, seeing his reaction.
"Xiaxia!" Ye Ziāan grumbled, then grabbed Yang Chuxiaās hand and said, "He wrote in the letter that he wants me to break off the engagement!"
"What did you say?" Yang Chuxia thought to herself that if Baili Yan was here, she might actually risk the punishment of decapitation to beat him up. "Is he full from eating and meddling in our business?"
"I donāt like his domineering attitude in interfering with my life," Ye Ziāan said. "I was living well before I knew about this relationship, and itās unreasonable that things got worse after finding out."
"No wonder youāre so resistant to Mr. Luo. Is it because he sent him? Are you afraid that Mr. Luo will do something more?"
"Mm-hmm."
Ye Ziāan replied with his head down.
"Brother An, donāt worry!" Yang Chuxia held Ye Ziāanās hand tightly, "As long as we donāt want to, no one can separate us. Itās their business how others choose to act. But you did remind me, we need to be careful with Mu Shaoling and that person in the future. We should be cautious with the people around them too. As for Mr. Luo, just study with him. Weāll keep our eyes open for any other matters."
"Mm-hmm!"
Ye Ziāanās mood was obviously low; Yang Chuxia smiled and pinched his face, "No wonder youāre so determined not to go to Capital City."
"I donāt want to go, I donāt want to be apart from Xiaxia!" Ye Ziāan whispered.
"Donāt worry, we will definitely not be separated!"
Yang Chuxia thought to herself that anyone who dared to disrupt her love life would face consequences throughout their lives.
"Miss, Old Uncle Shen is looking for you outside!"
As Yang Chuxia and Ye Ziāan were discussing Baili Yan, the voice of servant girl Xiuāer came from outside.
"What does he want with me?" Yang Chuxia pushed Ye Ziāan and said, "Iāll go out and see!"
"Iāll go with you!"
Old Uncle Shen was already sitting in the front hall, waiting.
"Uncle Bo, do you have any business with me? Are you getting used to living at our place?" Yang Chuxia asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Old Uncle Shen nodded, "But itās not suitable for my daughter and me to live in your house all the time. So, I thought about finding a small piece of land nearby and building a couple of thatched huts for us to live in. During the day, I can sell potatoes in town and return to the village in the evening. People here are honest, so I can trust leaving Miss Qiu at home during the day."
Yang Chuxia thought about Old Uncle Shenās words and couldnāt help but agree. Although she didnāt mind having more people in the house, she worried that her servants would begin gossiping if they stayed too long.
However, she still had to make a show of caring, so she asked, "Did someone in the family say something inappropriate to Uncle Bo? Why do you want to move out?"
Old Uncle Shen waved his hand, "No, no, thatās not it. Your family treats my daughter and me very well. This is our own decision. Itās the right way to handle things." He thought for a moment and added, "But when Iām not home during the day, Iāll have to trouble Xiaxia to keep an eye on my daughter. Her appearance is a curse, and she doesnāt have Xiaxiaās capabilities."
