Country Maiden: Fields and Fortune

The person he kicked flew out and landed on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Dong Mei turned pale with fright, trembling all over.

This was her home, and if trouble arose, her family would be implicated.

She looked at Xie Zhinuan with a pitiful gaze, hoping she would show mercy.

Seeing this, Xie Zhinuan ultimately couldn’t bear it.

People work hard to set up a place for others to rest and make a small living; it really isn’t easy. She then looked at Sun Yiyi, who was about to explode with anger.

She then said to Duobao, "Don’t involve the innocent!"

After giving the order, Xie Zhinuan picked up her basket and left.

Sun Yiyi was furious to the extreme, pointing at Xie Zhinuan, who was walking away, and yelling, "Stop, stop right there!"

But she feared Duobao would kick her away just as easily and burst into tears as she let out a threatening shout, "Just you wait, just you wait!"

"Scram!" Duobao barked furiously.

He had no self-restraint when it came to not hitting women, and in his heart, no matter what kind of person Xie Zhinuan was, he knew his master’s inclinations.

The daughter of the county magistrate... in his eyes, really counted for nothing.

Dong Mei was so scared that her legs were weak and she trembled, unable to walk.

Sun Yiyi was also afraid. Seeing that Duobao didn’t intend to hit her, she turned and ran to find a backer.

As Xie Zhinuan reached the corner, she looked back at Duobao.

Though stubborn and not exactly likable, at that moment, with a solemn air about him, he did appear quite manly.

She couldn’t help but think of Li Hengyi. She had known Li Hengyi for some time and had many interactions with him, yet she never saw him lose his temper. She wondered how he was doing now...

As Xie Zhinuan thought about it, she picked up her basket, returned to her room, and prepared to pack up and leave.

Duobao glanced indifferently at the man rolling on the ground, screaming, and then at Sun Yiyi’s henchmen who had scurried away, followed by a look at Dong Mei, who was trembling with fright, before he strode back to his room.

Sun Yiyi came running back in tears.

Ning Ning was drinking tea and slightly raised her eyebrows upon seeing her, "What happened?"

"Sister-in-law..." Sun Yiyi called out pitifully, "A ruffian... they stole my things!"

"..." Ning Ning glanced at the housekeeper beside her, who immediately went to ascertain the truth.

"Is that so? Who was it?" Ning Ning asked in a mild tone.

"She, she..." Sun Yiyi had no idea who the person was, "She was also resting at the farmstead!"

Clearly, she was lacking confidence.

Sun Yiyi cautiously glanced at Ning Ning.

This sister-in-law was different from everyone around her brother; she wasn’t beautiful, nor was she slender. She appeared to have no temper, but she was definitely not easy to handle.

The main thing was she had a fondness for women.

For a woman, she didn’t like her own brother, yet kept two stunningly beautiful maids to attend to her.

Before long, the housekeeper came back, whispering a few words in Ning Ning’s ear.

Ning Ning’s brow furrowed, her gaze cold and indifferent as she looked at Sun Yiyi, "Look, you don’t even know who she is, or what her background is, and yet you accuse her of stealing from you. Yiyi, after you’ve declared your family name and someone still acts against you, it’s clear they don’t regard the county magistrate’s office at all. You should understand that this person is not someone you can afford to offend. You dare to come to me with such accusations instead of keeping your tail between your legs!"

Ning Ning set down her tea cup heavily on the table, "Come with me to apologize now!"

Sun Yiyi shuddered, "I... I won’t go!"

She was afraid, afraid that man would kick her.

She was the epitome of a bully who feared the strong and picked on the weak.

Ning Ning snorted and had gifts prepared, planning to make the trip personally.

To be in Gaocheng County, to disregard the county magistrate’s office, and to be beautiful, she had already guessed who it was.

The kept woman the King had outside...

Xie Zhinuan!
