The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The clothes that had just been hung out to dry were soaked by her tears. Xue He felt a pang in his heart when he heard her sobbing. He whispered to comfort her:

"Master is not stupid, Master knows everything, I understand, I understand everything"

He took the time to look at Shi Ping. He saw that the timid idiot had fainted from the pain.

Xue He picked up the young master horizontally and sat by the pool. While coaxing him, he helped wash the blood off the young master's hands.

After a long period of coaxing, the young master finally stopped crying. He sniffed and leaned on the farmhand's shoulder, but he still couldn't get over the uncomfortable feeling.

Fortunately, the temperature in the area near the water was lower, so the young master could be held safely, and because he was sad, he didn't make much noise.

"Shall we go back?" Xue He asked when he saw the young master's emotions gradually stabilize.

I had been out for too long, the sky was getting darker, the sun was slanting, and the hottest time of the day had passed. I ran into Shi Ping again, and there was no need to stay here any longer.

"Um"

The young master nodded in agreement, but his eyes were red, swollen and swollen like walnut kernels due to crying.

After packing up his things, Xue He carried the young master on his back, carried the fishing net, and walked down the mountain step by step.

As for Shi Ping who was still unconscious?

Who cares what happens to him.

On the way, the young master hugged the farmhand's neck, rested his chin on the farmhand's shoulder, and shook his head slightly as the other person walked, forgetting most of the unpleasantness just now.

The two of them were very close, and although it was a little hot, the young master was too lazy to walk by himself, so he endured the heat between their skins, shook his ankles and leaned comfortably on the farmhand's shoulder.

This incident today made the young master more dependent on the farmhand. Thinking of what Yue Niang said before, which he couldn't understand, the silly young master leaned close to the farmhand's ear and asked doubtfully: "Child, do you have it?"

"..." Xue He was stunned by this incoherent question. The young master's sentences were very short, and it took some time to figure out the young master's meaning, but what did he mean by this question?

"Master, I'm stupid and don't understand." After hesitating for a moment, Xue He didn't figure out what the master was thinking, so he asked directly, showing weakness.

This trick always works. As long as you say you are stupid, the young master will be in a good mood and look up to explain again.

"Stupid! Hold hands, child, mine."

"do you have?"

The young master really despised the farmhand who was even dumber than himself. He frowned and thought for a while to organize his words, then slowly said a few more words.

Xue He understood now. What the young master meant was that if they held hands, they would get pregnant and give birth to a child, and the child would be the young master's bloodline...

Xue He was a little speechless. He was a man and he couldn't give birth to a child after ten months of pregnancy like a woman.

This is obviously a bluff, and it can only fool young masters who don't understand the matters between men and women.

But, these obviously leading words, did the young master read them in a storybook, or?

The more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. Xue He immediately asked, "Master, you can't have a child just by holding hands. Where did you hear that?"

This passage was a bit long. The silly young master tilted his head and tried to understand what the farmhand said. He heard the other party asking again, and then he replied: "Yue Niang"

Then he tilted his head to look at the farmhand's waist and abdomen, and asked persistently: "Really, no?"

really!

When Xue He heard the name Yue Niang, he knew that he was right.

Yue Niang is the young master's maid, and is also rumored to be the young master's child bride.

Xue He suppressed the discomfort in his heart for the moment and thought about it carefully.

If she had no ill intentions, why would she instigate the young master to have such a wrong perception? What does she want to do?

"Master, we are all men, there won't be any."

Xue He felt that something was wrong with Yue Niang, and because of Yue Niang's identity, he became even more wary of her.

He decided to guard the young master's room every night from now on to prevent Yue Niang from doing anything secretly.

"Oh" the silly young master only understood the words "no children". He thought that although they were all his, he liked Xue He's baby better than Yue Niang's baby. When he grew up, he could still play with him. How nice.

Unfortunately, this vision was shattered before it even began.

Feeling a little disappointed, the silly young master responded and said nothing more.

"Cicada, noisy"

"When we get back to the yard, I'll catch all the cicadas on the trees."

"Mom, I won't go back"

"Madam will be back soon, please wait a little longer, Master."

"Eat fish"

"Okay, I'll do it when I get back."

The young master's thoughts always came to an abrupt end and then changed frequently. Xue He couldn't keep up with his speed of change, but he also responded seriously to each sentence.

There was a slight breeze in the afternoon, and it was a little hot, but it was better than nothing.

With the breeze blowing, the young master nodded his head and fell asleep again.

After returning to the yard, Xue He put the young master back on the bed in the room with ease, and went to the kitchen with the fish.

He remembered that his mother had mentioned Yue Niang before, but he didn't think it was meaningful to know about unimportant people at that time, so he didn't listen. But now it's different.

He wanted to find out what Yue Niang was planning.

Aunt Xue was washing vegetables in the kitchen. When she saw her son coming back with three fish, she smiled with joy.

Such plump fish are very popular in the market!

Seeing that Yue Niang was not there, Xue He specifically asked about her whereabouts, and then began to tentatively inquire about Yue Niang's background.

"Why do you care about Yue Niang?" Aunt Xue was a little suspicious when she suddenly heard her son mention Yue Niang, worried that Xue He had taken a fancy to Yue Niang.

This is not allowed. We cannot afford to offend Yue Niang and the others.

"Mother also knows the young master's temper. I want to know how Yue Niang takes care of the young master."

Xue He explained this to dispel Aunt Xue's doubts. He poured a basin of clean water from the wooden barrel to wash the vegetables. Aunt Xue said casually: "Yue Niang, you are really miserable. You are not often at home, so it is normal that you don't know these old stories..."

Aunt Xue spoke eloquently about Yue Niang's life experience and the trivial matters in the village that could cause a fuss among the villagers. The content was complicated and trivial, and Aunt Xue talked about this and that, but fortunately the topic could always be turned back to the You family's mansion.

"Mother, are you saying that Madam once lost a golden hairpin?"

"Yes, it was said to be the lady's dowry, and it was very valuable! Unfortunately, it was lost after returning from the main residence. The government officials were alerted at the time, and everyone in the village knew about it. They mobilized manpower to search for it for a long time, but they still couldn't find it. What a pity, I don't know whether it was lost or stolen by someone with dirty hands..."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

The gold hairpin was such a valuable item, and was part of her dowry, so Mrs. You naturally attached great importance to keeping it close to her body.

The possibility of it being lost is too low, so it must have been stolen. The person who can accurately find the location of the hairpin is naturally someone who has seen and knows where the hairpin is placed, someone around the lady.

Xiao Cui is too young and her joy is obvious on her face. She is also a maid that Madam You brought from the mansion in the county town. She has been raised by the You family since she was a child and relies on the You family for her livelihood, so it is unlikely that she would steal.

Then it can only be... Yue Niang!

In a flash of inspiration, Xue He remembered the day when he accompanied the young master to fly kites and saw Yue Niang and Wang Quezi.

But now that Wang Cuzi is dead, there is no evidence to prove his guilt. There is no evidence that Yue Niang stole the truth, it is just my guess.

But it was not completely without gain. From his mother's description, Xue He could roughly understand Yue Niang's personality.
