After wringing out her hair, she ventured into the courtyard and picked a few unknown fruits to eat.
The fruits were sweet and crisp.
With one bite, she seemed to have regained all her strength and her spirits soared.
She lit up and left the small courtyard to take a walk outside.
Outside, the tender green grass was still lush, and the small stream was babbling.
The only difference was that there were tender buds sprouting in many places where Bai Mei had begun to plant early in the morning.
She was once again in awe of the magic of this space.
It was indeed a land for gods and immortals, where life could grow freely against the natural order.
It was really breathtaking.
Observing the seedlings, an idea suddenly sprang to her mind: since the soil and stream water here are full of spiritual energy, why not move some of this soil to her home and plant some cabbage there?
In the depths of winter, having cabbage to eat could be considered quite a luxury.
More importantly, it would be greatly beneficial for the health of her whole family!
Once she had made up her mind, she stepped out of the space.
It was now past noon, and the sun was at its zenith.
The warm sunlight shone on the serene and bare mountain, laying a faint golden layer over the silver-clad mountain.
Cai Wei looked at the daylight and couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret.
She shouldn’t have lingered in the space for that long.
Her mother must be anxiously waiting for her.
When she goes back, she’s bound to get an earful.
Sneaking back to the village, she secretly pulled out her family’s water bucket from the space and pretended to fetch a bit of water from the well.
She planned to add the water from Lingxi river when she was close to home.
As she passed her eldest cousin’s, Mu Caiping’s house, she saw Mu Caiping wearing a peach red jacket, looking out over the top of a wall.
Seeing her, Mu Caiping energetically waved at her, seemingly forgetting about the unpleasantness between their two families.
“Sister, come over here.
I have something to ask you.”
Cai Wei knew she wasn’t a good person and didn’t want to bother with her.
Pretending not to hear, she picked up her pace and walked away.
Mu Caiping called anxiously and hurried after her, “Sister, don’t leave, wait for me.”
Cai Wei stopped and turned around to look at her coldly, “Didn’t our families agree not to have any dealings with each other?
What are you bothering me for?”
Mu Caiping hesitated and said, “Sister, don’t be angry.
I just want to ask you one thing.
If you tell me, I won’t bother you anymore, okay?”
Mu Caiping was used to bossing the second room family around and seldom behaved in such a humble way.
Cai Wei suspiciously raised an eyebrow at her, “What is it?”
Mu Caiping looked around and lowered her voice, “Sister, I want to know, who were those people Zhou Jiujin brought back?”
Jiujin had brought people back?
This news startled Cai Wei, her thoughts involuntarily turned to the person Jiujin was most likely to encounter on the mountain.
She anxiously asked, “Did you see it with your own eyes?
What kind of people are they?”
“Um…” Mu Caiping blushed, holding her handkerchief and softly saying, “It’s a rich young master wearing a white fox fur, with several attendants around him!”
Hearing this, Cai Wei couldn’t help but inwardly sigh, ‘Oh no, that evildoer has entered the village.
He’s such a petty person.
If he were bumped into, what would happen?’
Mu Caiping moved closer, her face covered in cheap powder almost touching hers, her voice as thin as a mosquito’s, “Sister, do you know who the young master in the white fur is?
Who else is in his family?
