"What did Baili Yan say to you?" Yang Chuxia asked again.
Upon hearing this, Ye Zi’an instantly clenched his fists, with veins bulging on his hands.
"What’s going on? Tell the truth!" Yang Chuxia raised her voice slightly, seeing his reaction.
"Xiaxia!" Ye Zi’an grumbled, then grabbed Yang Chuxia’s hand and said, "He wrote in the letter that he wants me to break off the engagement!"
"What did you say?" Yang Chuxia thought to herself that if Baili Yan was here, she might actually risk the punishment of decapitation to beat him up. "Is he full from eating and meddling in our business?"
"I don’t like his domineering attitude in interfering with my life," Ye Zi’an said. "I was living well before I knew about this relationship, and it’s unreasonable that things got worse after finding out."
"No wonder you’re so resistant to Mr. Luo. Is it because he sent him? Are you afraid that Mr. Luo will do something more?"
Ye Zi’an replied with his head down.
"Brother An, don’t worry!" Yang Chuxia held Ye Zi’an’s hand tightly, "As long as we don’t want to, no one can separate us. It’s their business how others choose to act. But you did remind me, we need to be careful with Mu Shaoling and that person in the future. We should be cautious with the people around them too. As for Mr. Luo, just study with him. We’ll keep our eyes open for any other matters."
Ye Zi’an’s mood was obviously low; Yang Chuxia smiled and pinched his face, "No wonder you’re so determined not to go to Capital City."
"I don’t want to go, I don’t want to be apart from Xiaxia!" Ye Zi’an whispered.
"Don’t worry, we will definitely not be separated!"
Yang Chuxia thought to herself that anyone who dared to disrupt her love life would face consequences throughout their lives.
"Miss, Old Uncle Shen is looking for you outside!"
As Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an were discussing Baili Yan, the voice of servant girl Xiu’er came from outside.
"What does he want with me?" Yang Chuxia pushed Ye Zi’an and said, "I’ll go out and see!"
Old Uncle Shen was already sitting in the front hall, waiting.
"Uncle Bo, do you have any business with me? Are you getting used to living at our place?" Yang Chuxia asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" Old Uncle Shen nodded, "But it’s not suitable for my daughter and me to live in your house all the time. So, I thought about finding a small piece of land nearby and building a couple of thatched huts for us to live in. During the day, I can sell potatoes in town and return to the village in the evening. People here are honest, so I can trust leaving Miss Qiu at home during the day."
Yang Chuxia thought about Old Uncle Shen’s words and couldn’t help but agree. Although she didn’t mind having more people in the house, she worried that her servants would begin gossiping if they stayed too long.
However, she still had to make a show of caring, so she asked, "Did someone in the family say something inappropriate to Uncle Bo? Why do you want to move out?"
Old Uncle Shen waved his hand, "No, no, that’s not it. Your family treats my daughter and me very well. This is our own decision. It’s the right way to handle things." He thought for a moment and added, "But when I’m not home during the day, I’ll have to trouble Xiaxia to keep an eye on my daughter. Her appearance is a curse, and she doesn’t have Xiaxia’s capabilities."
