Chapter 243: Confession ( 1 )
While he couldnât defend her, Wang Shen had no worries about it. She spat on the ground and said, "Itâs indeed true that when someone has a dirty mind, everything she sees is dirty."
"You called Yao Girl a promiscuous woman, but who didnât know that you, a widow, are the most promiscuous in the entire prefecture? Yao Girl did nothing wrong. If you can stay here, why canât she?"

The Village Chief nodded at Wang Shenâs words and added, "Everyone, donât forget that we still have to depend on Yao Girl to earn money after spring plowing."
When they heard this, the villagers remembered the money they earned from working for Yao Zhi. Reaching this point, no one cared about the barbarian anymore. Earning money was the most important thing for them.
"Widow Yang, you should worry about yourself. If you continue with your old ways, you might end up in jail one day."
"You should be thankful that your surname is Yang. Otherwise, you would have been chased away a long time ago."
With the villagers attacking her, Widow Yang couldnât win the argument. In the end, she left in anger.
The Village Chief calmed everyone down and let them go home. Now that everyone knew about Ling Shiâer, those with bad intentions toward Yao Zhi had to think twice before they did something.
After she returned from the Village Chiefâs house, Yao Zhi told Ling Shiâer to walk around the wasteland so he could familiarize himself with the situation.
When she was alone, Yao Zhi took out the ceramic jars containing the apricot wine from her systemâs farmland. She opened the lid and checked the wine.
It had been more than 50 days since she brewed the apricot wine.
Usually, it would need at least 3 months of fermentation and 6 months for the best taste. But since she added spiritual spring water to it and stored it on the systemâs farmland, the wine was ready for consumption now.
Yao Zhi transferred the wine into wine jars and sealed them completely before storing them in her systemâs storage. There were a total of 300 jars, each containing 2 liters of apricot wine.
Not long after she was done, Ling Shiâer returned. Seeing him come back, Yao Zhi said, "Shiâer, help me watch the house. Iâm going to visit my husband."
When he heard this, Ling Shiâer nodded and said, "Master, I will go prepare the cart."
Although his task was to protect his Masterâs safety, he had never met his Masterâs husband. He didnât want to cause misunderstanding between the couple. So, he would follow his Masterâs arrangement.
"Thank you," Yao Zhi nodded.
While Ling Shiâer prepared the cart, she went to the kitchen and packed some food for her husband. When she walked to the front yard, the donkey cart was ready.
Before leaving, she reminded him, "Shiâer, I already prepared lunch for you in the kitchen. Donât forget to eat your meal."
"Yes, Master."
After giving some instructions, Yao Zhi finally drove her donkey cart and left. It had been a while since her husband returned to the barracks, and she worried that the water she had prepared for him had finished.
Today, she not only wanted to restock her husbandâs water and food, but she also wanted to inform him about Ling Shiâer. It was okay for everyone to misunderstand her relationship with Ling Shiâer, but not her husband.
Even if she couldnât tell him everything about her secret, some things still had to be explained.
Half an hour later, she arrived at the military barracks. Since it had been a while, the guards were taken aback when they saw her.
After she parked her donkey cart, Yao Zhi took out a waterskin and two bowls from her bamboo basket. When she walked over, she smiled and greeted the guards. "Greetings, sir."
The guards returned her greeting before one of them asked, "Sister-in-law, are you here to look for your husband?"
Yao Zhi nodded and asked, "Can you please help me inform him?"
The guard nodded and said, "I already asked my brother to inform Squad Leader Fu. He should arrive soon."
Hearing this, Yao Zhi smiled. She handed the bowls to them and said, "The weather has become colder lately. It must be hard to do your duty. I brought some brown sugar ginger tea. Please have some to warm yourselves."
The guards were indeed feeling cold. Even with the newly distributed armor and winter clothes, the materials were not warm enough. A lot of soldiers with old injuries were suffering from the pain.
They took a sip of the brown sugar ginger tea and felt warmth spreading inside their bodies. Seeing that they had finished the drink in just a few gulps, Yao Zhi poured another bowl for them.
When they finished the second bowl, Fu Chenâan arrived. Unlike before, he didnât carry any bamboo baskets. Besides some daily necessities, all of his belongings had been stored in the spatial bag given by his wife.
Seeing his wife waiting for him, a smile appeared on his face. He hastened his pace and called out to her, "Wife."
Hearing her husbandâs voice, Yao Zhi raised her head and broke into a bright smile. She waved her hand at him and called out, "Husband!"
Noticing her excitement to see him, Fu Chenâanâs mood improved greatly. The moment he stood in front of her, he pulled her into his embrace.
Since he joined the cavalry, he didnât have to do the patrolling duty. Therefore, he was not wearing his armor at this moment. His outer robe was the clothes issued by the army, but his inner clothes were winter clothes prepared by his wife.
Fearing the rough materials would cause his wifeâs skin to redden, he let her go after holding her for a while. He looked at her for a moment before he said, "Wife, I miss you."
Yao Zhi was taken aback by his words. She never thought her husband would be able to utter these kinds of words. But although it was unexpected, she was still happy to hear it.
