Yes, just as Mr. Luo saw, she had been out early with Ye Zi’an and they had gone to the little beach. Ahem, Zi’an had heard from somewhere that the most beautiful sunrises are seen from the beach, so he took Yang Chuxia along.
They only slowly made their way back when the sun was fully up.
Although she had closed her eyes during the sunrise, she was still very tired. Yang Chuxia sighed internally, no matter how brilliant a special agent she had once been, the moment she dropped her training and persistence, she would immediately regress, and gradually, she would only be a little better than an average person.
Look at her now! In the past, she could stay up for two days and nights, but now?
Being awakened by Ms. Wang, Yang Chuxia was extremely unhappy, and when she passed by Zi’an, she shot him a glare, leaving Zi’an feeling quite innocent.
"Your future wife is angry, shouldn’t you go and cajole her?" Mr. Luo teased from the side.
"Pfft, Xiaxia might be angry with anyone, but not with me." Zi’an said with extreme confidence.
"Really, I think she seems quite unhappy?" Mr. Luo deliberately continued, "Despite your tireless efforts to please her, it seems as though she doesn’t appreciate it? Such a petty girl, that’s not good!"
"Listen here, Mr. Luo!" The just vanished Yang Chuxia came back, her hands still holding some water drops as she addressed Mr. Luo, "As a famous scholar, Mr. Luo, isn’t it wrong to stir up trouble like a woman behind us?"
Caught red-handed by Yang Chuxia, Mr. Luo showed no embarrassment.
Instead, he burst into laughter.
After a while, Old Mu also came over, and Yang Chuxia saw Mr. Luo take the initiative to go and talk to him, she had no idea what they were discussing.
Yang Chuxia had confirmed countless times that Old Mu was no ordinary person, but to this day no one had exposed Old Mu’s identity.
"Xiaxia, don’t be curious, we’ll find out sooner or later."
Although there were many people celebrating the festival together today and many things to prepare, the preparations by Ms. Wang proceeded swiftly with the help of the maidservants.
By the time the first sound of firecrackers erupted from a neighboring home, the food at Yang Chuxia’s house had already been prepared.
There was Yang Chuxia’s family, Old Mu, Mr. Luo and others at one table, with a few more tables arranged for the servants in the house.
The lunch was lavish, but it was somewhat inferior compared to the dinner.
And there was no sesame seed pie at lunchtime.
Sesame seed pie was prepared by Ms. Luo after lunch. She ground up the white sesame seeds, mixed them with white sugar, and then encased this sweet mixture in dough before pressing it into a pie shape.
This sesame pie had to be eaten hot to be delicious, the outside soft with a sweet center. Little Yang Xiayun loved it immensely.
Having eaten three pieces in one go, she was still clamoring for more.
In the end, she was reprimanded by Ms. Wang and then finally stopped.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Chuxia planned to arrange for someone to harvest the crops in the field. Many corn, peanuts, beans, and the like were also mature, ready to be harvested.
However, before she could give the order, a major event occurred. And this event was not unrelated to her, to say the least, it was rather unthinkable.
She was originally thinking about how to let that person stay in jail a little longer, knowing that as soon as he got out, he would definitely stir up all kinds of trouble. But before she even had a chance to act, an incident happened. That’s right, just two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Constable Hong arrived in Yangshu Village, bringing with him an incredibly sudden piece of news!
