Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Fresh Bamboo Drips _1

Translator: 549690339

Wei Zhan was disturbed by their shouts and hurried in to see what was going on.

Seeing the child very fond of the bamboo maiden mushrooms, he ordered the guard, “Go find these mushrooms and pick them for me.”

The guards couldn’t defy him, so they had to reluctantly enter the bamboo forest to look for the mushrooms

The Yingbao sisters once again chopped bamboo for a while, seeing that it was getting late, they packed up their things and went home.

Wei Zhan followed behind them until they reached the front door of the Jiang Family.

But once these sisters entered the house, they shut the main door, showing no intention of allowing him in.

Wei Zhan had never experienced such a cold reception in his life; while he felt dejected, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He commanded his guard to leave the collected mushrooms at the front door of the Jiang Family. Only then did he leave, clearly upset.

Yingbao who was a door away, listened for Wei Zhan’s departure before she opened the door.

She paused at the doorway for a moment, pondering over the situation, before returning to her room.

Dani too peeked out, and seeing a lot of bamboo maiden mushrooms left outside the door, she exclaimed with joy and quickly grabbed them to show to

Chuchu.

“There are so many, we can’t finish them all, let’s dry them and save them for next time,

” Chuchu suggested.

God knows where the Wei Family’s guards found so many mushrooms, it was like a bountiful harvest.

Dani grinned widely and immediately found a bamboo tray to dry the mushrooms.

At this moment, Yingbao was a bit cell.

She didn’t expect that the Wei Family’s brat turned out to be Wei Qi.

In her previous life, Wei Qi was a frequent visitor to the governor’s mansion, not only was his relationship with Chen Zhao ambiguous, but he also had repeated run-ins with her because of Chen Zhao.

That’s right, at that time Chen Zhao had also entered the governor’s mansion and even became a concubine of the murderous governor.

And she, a humble dancer, was continually targeted by Chen Zhao. Once Zhao had even conspired to make her make a mistake during a dance party, causing her to be almost stabbed to death by the guards.

Luckily, the governor couldn’t bring himself to kill her, a dancer well-versed in the Hu Xuan dance. Instead, he made her stand in the winds and snow with a chunk of ice for two hours.

But she was not one to turn the other cheek. Since Chen Zhao dared to harm her, she was going to fight back.

She planned to escape from the governor’s mansion, so she left a note under the pillow, certain that it would end up in the governor’s hands after she had fled.

Yingbao could imagine, when the governor realises her escape was due to being deceived by Chen Zhao, he would definitely have a severe punishment for

Chen Zhao.

Even if he didn’t flay her, a bout of whipping was certain. Ten strokes would be enough to take half of Chen Zhao’s life.

There were many concubines like Chen Zhao in the governor’s mansion, there weren’t a hundred of them then at least dozens, all young, beautiful and charming.

They were also the lowest of the low, often used by the governor to entertain guests or reward subordinates.

If a concubine made a mistake, it was lethal. They were not even given the chance to be sold, they were simply beaten to death with rods or whips.

That’s why, the Han couple was desperately trying to eliminate her, probably because her escape caused Chen ChangPing and Chen Zhao to be completely rejected by the governor’s mansion.

She didn’t expect that in this life, Wei Qi would run to the Chen Family in Chuanhe Town, and get mixed up with Chen Zhao so early on.

Yingbao couldn’t figure out why the prestigious Wei Family held Chen

Laoshuan in such high esteem. Not only in her past life, but also in this life.

Even if Chen Laoshuan had once saved the patriarch of the Wei Family, it was only right for a servant to protect his master. There was no reason for them to elevate Chen Laoshuan so high, going as far as fulfilling his every request.

Unless Chen Laoshuan has a deep connection with the Wei Family, compelling their patriarch to look after his family.

“Yingbao, it’s time for dinner.” Dani came over to call her.

Jiang Erlang wasn’t home today. Yanru had prepared some shrimp and loach and invited all the girls to eat with her.

After dinner, Dani, Erni, and Chuchu helped clean up the dishes.

Yanru, on the other hand, used balsam flowers to make a dye, added some alum water, and applied it to each girl’s nails. She also helped them redo their hair, taught them how to do their eyebrows, apply makeup, and how to coordinate their outfits.

Having grown up in a county town, Yanru’s taste in fashion was entirely different from the village girls.

Under Yanru’s guidance, Dani, Erni, and Chuchu felt as if they had stepped into a whole new world, and their horizons broadened.

Thus, Dani, Erni, and Chuchu suddenly became beautiful and learnt to cherish their own appearances while working.

Whenever they went outside to work or chop bamboo, they all wore rain hats and cotton gloves. Dani would even wear a face towel to prevent sunburn on her cheeks.

Yingbao didn’t care much, as she was still young and didn’t care whether her skin was fair or not.

She sat on a stool next to the pile of bamboo and started to burn bamboo to get fresh bamboo juice.

She prepared several clean pottery jars, placed them at the end of the peeled bamboo, and then burned the green bamboo pole with fire. The drips of bamboo juice would then drip down the bamboo into the jars.

After a day of burning bamboo, Yingbao obtained several jars of fresh bamboo juice before she finally stopped.

She brought the pottery jars back, quietly stowed them in her cave, and planned to make some medicinal liquid whenever she had time.

Once the autumn and winter seasons arrived, there would be more people suffering from coughing and wheezing. Her bamboo juice would come in handy then.

During this period, Wei Zhan came to South Slope every day, either bringing bamboo shoots or wild chickens and rabbits.

“Yingbao, this is a wild chicken I hunted,” Wei Zhan showed off a long-tailed wild chicken he held, “I am gifting it to you.”

Yingbao originally didn’t want to deal with this kid, but remembering how she had been humiliated by him and Chen Zhao in her previous life, she squinted and asked, “Why are you giving me things?” Wei Zhan scratched his head, “Just felt like giving.”

“But I don’t know you.” Yingbao replied.

Wei Zhan blinked, seeming a little confused. “I’ve been here for three days and you still don’t know me?”

Yingbao nodded, “Of course I don’t know you. I don’t know your name, I don’t know your parents’ names, and I don’t even know why you came to our humble village.”

“MV name is Wei Zhan, and I’m the seventh in line in mv familv. MV father’s name is Wei Shixian, and my mother’s name is… Wang, ” Wei Zhan earnestly started telling her about his family, “My cousin and I were traveling and thought that the scenery here was nice, so we decided to stay for a while.”

He ended by asking, “Now do you know me?”

Yingbao merely responded with a hum before asking, “Why are you staying with the Chen family? Are they your relatives?”

Weizhan blinked his eyes, “Chen has known my father for some time, it was my older brother’s decision to stay at their house. Otherwise, could I stay at your house?”

“No.” Yingbao felt she wouldn’t get anything useful out of this kid and didn’t really want to speak to him anymore.

Wei Zhan was just happy to speak with the young child and kept circling around her. One moment he was pulling out a stalk of grass and asking her what it was, the next he was plucking some leaves to give her.

Suddenly, Wei Zhan screamed. His whole body jumped up and he shook his hand non-stop.

The guards were startled and rushed over, “Young master, what’s wrong? Were you bitten by a snake?”

Weizhan stood stiffly there, his hand outstretched, his face flushed red, his eyes looking sideways at the ground and repeatedly yelling, “Get it away! Get rid of it fast!”

When Yingbao looked, she couldn’t help but laugh.

A big fat green worm was wriggling on the ground, thicker than an adult’s finger, and had horns on its head.

So the little tyrant was scared of large green worms. Ha, he’s so useless.

The guards breathed a sigh of relief, kicked the green worm far away, and then comforted, “Young master, don’t be afraid, it doesn’t bite.”

But these words didn’t comfort him at all, and in the end Wei Zhan left with a long face following the guards.

Because he felt that he had lost face in front of the young child, he couldn’t stay any longer..
