Chapter 239: A Promiscuous Woman ( 1 )

At noon, Yao Zhi and Ling Shi’er finally entered Yang Village. Since it’s lunchtime, many villagers were having their meals inside their houses, and not many noticed her coming back with a man.

Arriving at her house, she said, "Shi’er, this is my home."

Ling Shi’er nodded and helped her down from the donkey. While Yao Zhi unlocked the gate, Wang Wuniang just returned from visiting her husband.

The moment she saw an unknown man following Yao Zhi into the house, her eyes widened in shock, and countless dog-blood drama scripts were spinning in her mind.

As the wife of a soldier, she understood the loneliness of being far from her husband. But even so, this was not the reason for a married woman to bring back a man while the husband was not at home.

Thinking about her husband’s good relationship with Fu Chen’an, she quickly went home to inform her mother-in-law.

While Yao Zhi didn’t notice anything, Ling Shi’er saw Wang Wuniang and frowned. After he led Xiao Lu into the yard, he said, "Master, there was a woman looking at us just now. Her expressions are strange."

Hearing this, Yao Zhi turned and saw Wang Wuniang’s back. Recalling the situation of the original soul when she just crossed over, she couldn’t help but let out a long sigh.

"It seems that it won’t be long before someone comes asking about your identity."

Just after she finished her words, Ye Ying and Bai Xue pounced on her.

Ling Shi’er was startled and drew his longsword. But before he could point his sword at the wolves, Yao Zhi stopped him.

"Don’t hurt them. These are my pets. The black one is called Ye Ying, and the white one is called Bai Xue. They are still young, so it’s normal for them to be playful."

Although she said so, Ling Shi’er still stared at the wolves warily. Only after he saw that the wolves had no intention of hurting his Master did he sheath his sword and stand on the side.

Yao Zhi gave her wolf cubs hugs and kisses for a while before she patted their heads and said, "Okay, let’s stop playing. I’m going to prepare your food."

Hearing this, both Ye Ying and Bai Xue finally let go of their Master. While they walked to the backyard, Yao Zhi explained her family situation to Ling Shi’er.

"I’m married, and my husband serves as a Squad Leader in the White Tiger Army. He rarely comes back, so you can stay with ease. It’s just that we need to build a room for you."

Ling Shi’er observed the house and said, "Master, I can stay in the woodshed for now."

Yao Zhi wanted to reject his idea since the woodshed was located near the latrine, and the smell was so bad. What’s more, the room was filled with firewood and rarely used things. It’s not a place for someone to stay.

But it was also impossible for her to share a room with a man besides her husband.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "After lunch, you will come with me to visit the Village Chief. We have to inform him about your identity and ask the villagers to help build a room for you."

At first, Ling Shi’er thought that his Master was a wealthy person since she was able to spend more than 11,000 taels of silver to buy him and his brothers. But after he saw his Master’s house, he suddenly felt that his Master was not that wealthy.

She must be a very kind person who was willing to spend so much money to save their lives. Right now, she might not have enough money to survive the winter. How could he let her spend more to build a room for him?

Reaching this conclusion, Ling Shi’er cupped his fists and said, "Master, I’m a martial artist. I can handle staying in the woodshed. There is no need for you to waste money building a room for me."

Yao Zhi was taken aback by his words. She looked at his solemn expression and asked, "Shi’er, are you doubting your Master’s ability?"

"This slave didn’t dare."

Frowning at his words, Yao Zhi said, "I told you before that I never treat you as a slave. So, don’t call yourself a slave anymore."

"Understood."

"Alright, you don’t have to worry about money. I might look poor, but I have enough money to support you and your brothers," Yao Zhi waved her hand.

Ling Shi’er wanted to persuade her, but when he met her gaze, he swallowed his words and nodded.

Seeing that he finally had no objection, Yao Zhi said, "It has been a few days since I watered my vegetable gardens. Put Xiao Lu in the shed and help me water the gardens."

Ling Shi’er bowed and went to do his task. After sending him away, Yao Zhi filled five buckets with her system’s river water and added a drop of spiritual spring water to it.

Afterward, she went to the kitchen and prepared food for her pets and lunch for herself and Ling Shi’er.

At the same time, Wang Wuniang was telling her mother-in-law about what she saw.

Sitting facing her daughter-in-law, Wang Shen frowned and rebuked her, "Wuniang, I have told you so many times before, don’t spread baseless rumors."

"Mother, I didn’t. I saw it with my own eyes. Yao Shi brought back a man. Judging from their interactions, they must have a close relationship. That man followed her everywhere."

Wang Shen shook her head and said, "That might be her relative."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law still wanted to argue, she added, "Alright, before we know the truth, you are not allowed to spread this matter."

Wang Wuniang was dissatisfied with her mother-in-law’s reaction. But no matter how unhappy she was, she could only nod and say, "Mother, I will listen to you."

"You must be tired. Go back to your room and have a rest," Wang Shen waved her hand.

"Yes, Mother."

After sending her daughter-in-law away, Wang Shen went to the front yard and looked at Yao Zhi’s house.
