Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

After returning to the courtyard, Yu Xunmei instructed the maid, "Go and find out what my mother said in Yu Shida's room?"

Yu Xunmei was leaning on the beauty couch and dozing off.

Soon, the maid came back to report.

"Miss, Aunt Tao brought Miss here to thank you for saving her life."

"Let her in." Yu Xun opened her beautiful red lips slightly.

Yu Qiutao, who had not yet fully recovered from giving birth, had a plump figure and was holding a sleeping baby in her arms. She walked up to Yu Xunmei, knelt down, and kowtowed three times sincerely.

"Thank you very much, Miss, for saving my life!"

Yu Xunmei half-opened her eyes, her gaze fixed on the baby in the cradle, and raised her hand to gently stroke the baby's tender little face.

When it was just born, this little thing was red, wrinkled and ugly. Now it has grown up and looks like a pink ball, which makes it look quite cute.

"Get up."

"Thank you, miss!"

"I heard from the housekeeper that your mother came to ask for money again today, but was driven away by the servants. If you have anything to say in the future, please let the maid pass it on. Madam has already ordered that your mother is not allowed to enter the Yu family again."

Yu Qiutao lowered her head, feeling extremely embarrassed as if she had been slapped in the face.

"My mother almost harmed me and the young lady in order to be close to my brother. I will leave everything to the eldest lady." She said in fear and trepidation.

"In that case, we won't have any more contact from now on. Just focus on taking good care of the young lady. The Yu family will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes." Yu Qiutou unconsciously hugged the baby in her arms tightly. From now on, she would be her support.

The baby was twisting his body uncomfortably, and whimpered with his mouth open, about to cry. Yu Qiutou was so scared that she was in a panic and tried to coax him softly.

Yu Xunmei glanced at her sideways and waved at her irritably.

"Go back, don't let the child get caught in the wind."

Yu Qiutao respectfully retreated holding the child.

Yu Qiutao remembered clearly what happened on the day of delivery. After waking up, she respected Miss Da even more from the bottom of her heart.

From now on in this Yu Mansion, Yu Xunmei will be my only support!

After the maid came back, she knelt down and whispered something in Yu Xunmei's ear.

"Got it, go down, and remember to wake me up when Shen Shi arrives."

When Yu Xunmei opened her eyes again, it was already dark outside.

"What time is it?"

The maid who heard the noise came in with a lantern, "My dear Miss, it is exactly 3 p.m."

"Why is it so dark outside?"

"It's windy, I'm afraid it's going to rain heavily." The maid lowered her head and said pleasantly.

Yu Xunmei looked out the window. The window was closed and the branches outside the house were swaying in the strong wind.

Her mood suddenly became cheerful, she really liked this kind of weather.

"Please help me wash up. It's time to go to my date with Master Xinming."

After washing and dressing up, Yu Xunmei looked at the beauty in the mirror. Her bright eyes were touching and her smile was full of charm.

He pointed to a cabinet in the room and said to the maid, "Take out the bottle of my treasured wine in the cabinet."

The maid took out a blue and white ceramic pot from the cabinet. "Miss, is this it?"

Yu Xunmei nodded and slowly stood up from the chair.

"Let's go, let's go to keep our appointment with Master Xinming."

As soon as Xinming opened the door, he saw the beautiful Yu Xunmei. He didn't expect her to come for the appointment so early.

"Master Xinming, won't you invite me in to sit down?"

"Miss Yu, please come in quickly." Xin Ming quickly stepped aside to let the master and servant in.

As soon as they sat down, Yu Xunmei signaled the maid to pour the wine.

The maid put down the wine jug, picked up the glass with swift hands and feet and poured a glass of wine.

"Master Xinming, this is a fine wine that has been treasured for many years. Please try it."

Yu Xunmei picked up the wine glass and handed it to Xinming.

Xinming's face was filled with smiles and his eyes were shining. He raised his hand and held Yu Xunmei's hand, slowly bringing it to his mouth, pressing a kiss on her hand, and then picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Yu Xunmei covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, "Master Xinming is very generous."

The maid came forward at the right time to pour wine into Xinming's cup.

Xinming pushed the glass of wine in front of Yu Xunmei and insisted that she drink it.

Yu Xunmei raised her hand to block the wine glass and looked at him with tender eyes, "So this is how Master Xinming feels about me!"

“How come you see?”

"As the saying goes, if the feelings are deep, drink it in one gulp; if the feelings are shallow, just lick it. Just now, Master Xinming only drank one glass and started to act like a spoiled child. It shows that the words of admiration he said on a daily basis were all lies."

After finally getting an appointment with a beautiful woman, Xinming didn't want to spoil the fun, so he laughed and said, "It's my fault. I will drink three cups as punishment."

After he finished speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

Yu Xunmei took the wine pot from the maid and poured wine for him herself.

After the fourth cup, Xinming felt a little dizzy. He supported his head with one hand and shook Yu Xunmei with the other.

"This wine is too strong. I can't drink any more. I'll get drunk if I drink any more. Why haven't the snacks been served yet?"

Yu Xunmei put down the wine jug, took the wine glass from his hand, and leaned her soft and boneless body on his shoulder.

"Don't spoil the fun, please have another drink!"

Xinming suddenly felt an electric current surge in his brain, and he drank two more cups in a daze while listening to Yu Xunmei's gentle voice.

"I'm a little drunk and need to take a break." Xinming said and then lay down on the table without moving.

Yu Xunmei threw the wine glass away, stood up, and kicked the unconscious Xinming to the ground.

Xinming didn't wake up despite such a big movement. He even adjusted himself to a comfortable position, lying on the ground with his legs spread out.

Yu Xunmei slapped him twice in the face, but Xinming said nothing.

Knowing what she was going to do next, the maid quietly took a few steps back with the wine jug, trying to minimize her presence.

Yu Xunmei shook her hurt hand and her eyes fell on the samurai sword hanging on Xinming's waist.

When the knife was unsheathed, the blade was as sharp as ice, emitting a chilling cold air under the candlelight.

She reached out her hand and felt around Xinming's chest for a while, then aimed the knife at him and thrust it in with all her strength.

The severe pain woke Xinming up instantly. Blood gushed out of his mouth, staining the clothes on his chest red. His hand pointed weakly at Yu Xunmei.

"You, you..." He couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"I really don't understand, how can you be so confident that I would like you?"

"You eat and drink at Yu's house, and you are a dog that wags its tail and begs for mercy, and you are worthy of wanting me?"

Seeing the blood, Yu Xunmei's fair face twisted into a horrible picture, and her beautiful eyes were filled with crazy rage, as if she wanted to burn everything.

Yu Xunmei pulled out the knife with great force, and Xinming fell to the ground and died.

Throwing the knife away, Yu Xunmei took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands, which were slightly red from excessive force.

He glanced at the maid who was hiding aside and dared not even breathe.

"Tell the housekeeper to throw it into the mass grave to feed the wild dogs!"

"I'll go right away."

The maid ran out of the door holding the wine jug as if she had been granted amnesty.

After calming down, Yu Xunmei walked out of the house calmly.

Just at this moment, a huge lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a loud thunder and raindrops as big as beans fell, hitting the roof and the flowers, plants and trees in the yard.

Yu Xunmei hummed a little tune while strolling in the corridor and enjoying the scenery of the rainy night.
