Space Farming: Traveling through Ancient Times to Do Business

"Master Chen, this morning the secret guards of Young Master Feng's family sent a message saying that the boycott of the Jiang family's store was manipulated behind the scenes by Liu Xueqi, a scholar from the county." Butler Chen reported nervously.

"Liu Xueqi?" Xuan Yuchen frowned.

"Okay, I got it. You go down first." Xuan Yuchen ordered in a deep voice.

The secret guard at the side made a killing gesture and asked Xuan Yuchen whether he wanted to get rid of Liu Xueqi.

Xuan Yuchen shook his head, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, "No, I want Xue'er to come in person. Anyone who dares to hurt me will not be able to vent his anger even if he dies a hundred times."

The secret guard was slightly stunned, then nodded and retreated.

......

After sleeping in darkness for a long day, Jiang Xue finally opened her eyes slowly the next morning.

"Xier?" She called softly, her voice revealing a hint of weakness and uncertainty.

Xuan Yuchen had been guarding her for a whole day and night, and had just fallen asleep when he was awakened by a faint call.

"Are you awake?" Xuan Yuchen's voice sounded particularly clear and gentle in the quiet afternoon.

Hearing this familiar voice, Jiang Xue was stunned.

She couldn't believe this was true, but she couldn't ignore the warmth and reassurance the voice brought her.

She blinked hard, trying to adjust to the sudden brightness.

"Achen?" she confirmed softly, her voice full of disbelief and excitement.

"It's me." Xuan Yuchen walked to the bed and sat down, gently holding her hand, "You finally woke up."

Jiang Xue's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She looked at Xuan Yuchen's familiar face, her heart filled with gratitude and happiness.

Jiang Xue propped herself up and gently leaned on his shoulder, saying in a choked voice, "I miss you so much, Achen."

Xuan Yuchen patted her back gently and comforted her: "I miss you too. I'm glad you're okay.

"Are there any discomforts?"

"I'm thirsty." Jiang Xue's voice was a little hoarse.

Xuan Yuchen immediately picked up the water that had been prepared, helped her up, and fed the water to her mouth.

Jiang Xue drank the water in gulps. After two glasses of water, she felt much better.

"What time is it now? How long have I slept?" Jiang Xue asked curiously.

Xuan Yuchen told her the time and briefly recounted what happened before she fainted.

Then he asked, "What happened when you went to town yesterday?"

Jiang Xue was a little hesitant and didn't want to mention that unpleasant experience, but Xuan Yuchen had already guessed it.

"People are surrounding you and throwing things at you!" Xuan Yuchen said directly.

Jiang Xue nodded, a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes: "Actually, I don't know why they beat me. I didn't do anything to let them down..."

Xuan Yuchen patted her back gently and comforted her: "I know you are not that kind of person. But the most important thing now is that we must find out the mastermind and clear your name."

"What are you going to do with those who incite the people behind the scenes?" Xuan Yuchen asked.

Jiang Xue pondered for a while and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. I need to fill my stomach first and then tell you in detail." She touched her stomach and did feel a little hungry.

"Okay, I'll go prepare something to eat for you." Xuan Yuchen stood up and prepared to leave the room.

Just as Xuan Yuchen went out, Xiao Nong appeared.

"Sister Xue, I just upgraded my level, how did you get hurt? This is spiritual spring water, drink it quickly!" Xiao Nong's face was full of worry. He held the jade bottle tightly in his hand and handed it to Sister Xue.

Sister Xue shook her head gently and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine." Her voice was a little weak.

However, the small farmer was not at ease, especially when he saw the scars on Sister Xue's body, his heart was filled with self-blame and guilt.

"Sister Xue..." Xiaonong's eyes gradually became moist.

Sister Xue stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked Xiaonong's cheek.

The young farmer gritted his teeth, took the spiritual spring water from Sister Xue's hand, and carefully fed it to her.

"Thank you, Xiaonong." Sister Xue looked at him gratefully.

"Sister Xue, there's no need to say thank you to each other. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will always be by your side." Xiaonong promised solemnly.

......

"Finish eating first, and I'll take you to get revenge later, okay?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xue couldn't help but be shocked. Even Lord Zhou was afraid of that man, and Achen actually wanted to take her to seek revenge.

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down and said, "It's okay, Achen. We are still weak now and haven't grown up yet. When the time is right, I will go and avenge myself."

"My Xue'er, no one can dare to touch a hair on your head!" Achen's eyes were firm and full of doting.

"Brother Chen~" Jiang Xue called out coquettishly.

"I'm here." Xuan Yuchen was suddenly moved. He couldn't help but lean forward and carefully held Jiang Xue in his arms. He wanted to touch her head, but was worried about touching her wound, so he could only put his hand on her back.

He asked softly, "Will you blame me for not being with you when you needed me the most?" His tone was filled with deep self-blame.

Jiang Xue quickly shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness and understanding.

She never blamed him. As long as he could stay here and not leave her, she would be satisfied.

At this moment, she snuggled in his warm embrace, feeling his care and love, her heart filled with happiness and peace.

......

Afternoon

Xuan Yuchen brought Jiang Xue and several secret guards to the gate of Zhou Mansion, only to see Lord Zhou Yisheng also arrived. His face was covered with sweat, obviously he had rushed here after learning about this.

Zhou Yisheng was about to say something but was stopped by a look from the secret guard.

He realized that the situation might be more serious than he thought, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Master Chen, you don't need to do anything about this matter, just leave it to me."

Xuan Yuchen nodded slightly and didn't say much.

He turned to look at Jiang Xue and asked with concern: "Xue'er, are you thirsty?"

Jiang Xue shook her head to indicate that she was not thirsty.

Seeing this, Zhou Yisheng hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to explain something.

But Xuan Yuchen just glanced at him indifferently, then took Jiang Xue and the secret guards into the Zhou Mansion.

The atmosphere in Zhou's mansion was tense and solemn.

Under the protection of the secret guards, Xuan Yuchen and Jiang Xue arrived at the lobby unhindered.

They saw a table in the middle of the lobby with some evidence and documents on it, which were obviously prepared by Zhou Yisheng to deal with this matter.

Xuan Yuchen signaled the secret guards to guard the door, then pulled Jiang Xue to sit at the table.

He picked up the document on the table and read it carefully. Jiang Xue looked at him nervously, not knowing what would happen next.

After a while, Xuan Yuchen put down the documents and looked up at Jiang Xue.

His eyes were full of confidence, as if he had found a way to solve the problem.

"Xue'er, don't worry." Xuan Yuchen said softly, "I will seek justice for you."

After Jiang Xue heard this, the tension in her heart immediately dissipated.
