Chapter 85 Transferring Fault
After the wrestling incident, although Xiaodoukou was fortunate enough to survive, the heartbreaking truth was that she and Ye Beichen's unborn child was gone. This devastating news struck Xiaodoukou like a bolt from the blue, leaving her heartbroken and devastated. From then on, she locked herself in her room all day, losing interest in everything around her, and refusing to even step out of her room.
Meanwhile, far away on the other side, Madam Nangong was extremely anxious, knowing full well the gravity of the situation. If Ye Beichen found out, given his temperament, he would certainly not let her youngest daughter off easily. Thinking of this, Madam Nangong became even more anxious, and large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Without delay, Madam Nangong acted swiftly, summoning her eldest daughter, Nangong Xiawu, to discuss a countermeasure. After careful consideration, the mother and daughter devised what they believed to be a flawless plan—to have their younger daughter immediately travel to the capital to find Ye Beichen and shift all blame onto Su Yuning. This way, they could not only preserve their younger daughter's position in Ye Beichen's heart but also sow discord between Ye Beichen and Su Yuning—a double win.
However, they never dreamed that just a short distance away, outside a yurt, the leader of the grassland alliance stood quietly, listening intently to every word they spoke. This mother-in-law, who usually seemed kind and amiable, had now transformed in his eyes into a vicious, treacherous, and wicked woman.
Watching his mother-in-law hastily depart with his two children, the leader of the grassland alliance devised a plan. He pretended to need to go out and sell beef jerky, thus conveniently joining a camel caravan and embarking on his journey to the capital. His true purpose, however, was singular: to stand up for the innocent Su Yuning, clear her name, and expose the truth behind this conspiracy.
In the bustling capital of the Song Dynasty, as spring returned and all things revived, the air was filled with fragrant aromas and vibrant life. Soft sunlight streamed through the streets and alleys, and a gentle breeze brought warmth. In the gardens, a hundred flowers bloomed in vibrant colors, and colorful butterflies danced merrily among the blossoms, as if performing a graceful and exquisite dance.
In this beautiful moment, the village chief's nephew's younger brother—the lively and adorable Xiao Tianshuo—excitedly ran to find Chestnut Girl, inviting her to go out and catch the beautiful butterflies together. However, Chestnut Girl, who was usually cheerful and lively, seemed a little melancholy at this moment. She gently shook her head and refused Xiao Tianshuo's invitation without hesitation.
Seeing Chestnut Girl's appearance, Xiao Tianshuo couldn't help but feel puzzled and worried. He blinked his clear, bright eyes, rested his chin on his hands, and stared at Chestnut Girl with curiosity, asking, "Sister Chestnut, what's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy today? Is something bothering you? Tell me!"
When Little Chestnut heard Xiao Tianshuo's innocent question, she managed a faint smile in response. She gently stroked Xiao Tianshuo's hair and said softly, "How could you children understand the things between adults? So, stop asking and go play by yourself."
But Xiao Tianshuo wasn't about to give up. He tilted his head and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and he said with a grin, "Sister Chestnut, I know! You must have just broken up with your boyfriend, right? There are so many handsome young men in Beijing that you can't even count them all. It's okay, I'll introduce you to an even better one later! Anyway, there are plenty of handsome guys who come to your gym every day!"
Hearing this, Chestnut Girl couldn't help but reach out and gently flick Xiao Tianshuo's nose, scolding him, "You little rascal, you're so young but you know so much! Don't talk nonsense like this anymore, or I won't tutor you anymore!"
"Okay, I know I was wrong, Sister Chestnut, please forgive me." Tian Shuo lowered his head, clutching the hem of his clothes with both hands, obediently apologizing like a child who had done something wrong. Seeing Tian Shuo like this, Chestnut's heart softened immediately. She smiled slightly and said, "Alright, I'll forgive you this time, but don't make the same mistake again next time."
Just then, the chubby girl came over with a bright smile and light steps. She said enthusiastically to Chestnut, "Chestnut, the weather is so nice today, how about we go dig for shepherd's purse? I heard that shepherd's purse is growing very well lately, we can dig up a lot to make shepherd's purse wontons!" Hearing this, Chestnut's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded excitedly, "Great! I love shepherd's purse wontons the most!"
Hearing their conversation, the younger brother immediately raised his hand and shouted, "I want to go too! I want to go dig shepherd's purse!" However, the chubby girl rolled her eyes and replied irritably, "Little brat, go play somewhere else. We two adults are going out to dig shepherd's purse to cook. What are you doing following us?" Rebuked by the chubby girl, the younger brother instantly felt extremely wronged. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he pouted, muttering, "Waaah... My teacher hates me, and now even my sister-in-law hates me. I don't want to stay here anymore. I want to go home and find my mom!" With that, he turned and ran to a corner, sadly wiping away his tears.
Just then, Chestnut Girl rushed forward, her face gentle and concerned, and softly comforted him, "Alright, don't be so sad anymore. We'll take you with us. Didn't you dig for wild vegetables with your mother before? So, how about you be our little guide today? Help us search for edible wild vegetables and mark their locations."
Upon hearing this, Tian Shuo's previously somewhat dejected face instantly brightened, and he nodded without hesitation, replying, "Alright! Leave this to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" His voice was clear and resonant, full of confidence and energy.
Immediately afterwards, the group of friends each prepared baskets, shovels, and other tools, and then set off happily and excitedly towards the countryside. Along the way, they chatted and laughed, as if the whole world had become exceptionally beautiful because of their joy.
When they arrived in the countryside, they discovered it was a paradise for wild vegetables. It was springtime, the perfect time for shepherd's purse to grow rapidly. Everywhere they looked, shepherd's purse grew lush and verdant. Some had already blossomed with snow-white flowers, swaying gently in the breeze; while many more remained tender and green, yet to bloom.
Seeing this, the two girls were overjoyed. They bent down and carefully dug up the tender green shepherd's purse with their shovels. Tian Shuo, standing nearby, was also busy, picking off all the flowering shepherd's purse flowers. Laughter and cheerful voices echoed across the vibrant field, creating a beautiful and moving spring scene.
"Tian Shuo, what are you doing? Why are you picking those shepherd's purse flowers? Those flowers are so small, they don't look very good, and they don't even have any fragrance. I really don't understand why you're picking them." The chubby girl blinked her big round eyes, tilted her chubby head, and asked her little brother with a face full of doubt.
The little boy, with a bright smile on his face, cheerfully explained, "Sister Fatty, you don't know this! Shepherd's purse flowers are a good medicinal herb. Boiling them in water can really help regulate the spleen and stomach! My mother used to collect a lot of shepherd's purse flowers, dry them, and use them to make tea. I noticed that Sister Chestnut hasn't been eating much lately, so I thought I'd pick some more shepherd's purse flowers to boil in water for her to drink, so she can take better care of herself."
Hearing this, the chubby girl couldn't help but pout and said sourly, "Oh dear, Xiao Tianshuo, you are such a thoughtful child! You always think about your teacher, but why don't you ask your sister-in-law if I want to drink some shepherd's purse flower tea too?" After saying that, she deliberately put on a pitiful look and looked at her little brother.
Upon hearing this, the little boy was taken aback for a moment, then gave an embarrassed smile, scratched the back of his head, and said shyly, "Oh dear, Sister-in-law Fatty, I'm so sorry, I forgot for a moment. If you want to drink shepherd's purse flower tea, I'll pick some more for you later."
"That's a good girl! Pick more flowers!" The chubby girl looked at the person busy picking flowers with a big smile, nodding contentedly. Her face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Time flies, and it was lunchtime in the blink of an eye. At this moment, the village chief's nephew was still engrossed in his busy work and had no time to attend to anything else. So, Fatty, Chestnut, and Little Brother had to work together to prepare lunch.
The chubby girl rolled up her sleeves, revealing her strong arms, and skillfully began kneading and rolling out the dough. Her plump hands deftly manipulated the dough, and in no time, thin, evenly sized wrappers appeared on the work surface. Meanwhile, the chestnut girl carefully selected fresh ingredients, meticulously chopped them into small pieces, and diligently prepared delicious wonton fillings.
Once everything was ready, the three of them sat together, chatting and laughing as they wrapped wontons. The wonton wrappers in their hands were like pure white snowflakes, encasing the fragrant fillings, resembling exquisite little works of art.
The wontons were finally all wrapped, and the younger brother volunteered to take on the task of cooking them. He squatted in front of the stove, carefully adding firewood and starting the fire, his eyes fixed on the wontons bubbling in the pot, afraid of making the slightest mistake.
Meanwhile, the chubby girl deftly prepared the delicious soup ingredients, and the rich aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen. Chestnut Girl wasn't idle either; she picked up bowls of steaming soup and gently poured them into the neatly arranged bowls.
Not long after, the younger brother excitedly shouted, "The wontons are cooked!" The chubby girl quickly used a slotted spoon to scoop the adorable, goldfish-like wontons into bowls. Instantly, bowls of delicious-looking wontons were presented to everyone.
Looking at the tempting food in front of them, the three of them couldn't help but swallow, then smiled at each other and happily enjoyed the sumptuous lunch.
Meanwhile, back at the Ni Chang Pavilion, Ye Beichen was looking at Xiao Doukou standing at the entrance with a puzzled expression. Xiao Doukou was carrying a bag and looked travel-worn. Ye Beichen's eyes widened, and he asked blankly, "Didn't we agree you were staying at Madam Nangong's house? What are you doing here?"
Little Bean blinked her bright, lively eyes and replied coquettishly, "I missed you, so I resolutely said goodbye to my family to come find you. What about you? Have you missed me lately?" As she spoke, she deliberately took a few steps closer, looked up at Ye Beichen's face, and gazed at him with anticipation in her eyes.
Ye Beichen frowned, a hint of helplessness on his face. He sighed and replied, "Yeah, I am a little busy, but I'm currently trying to get back together with Su Yuning, so please, could you please not cause me any more trouble?"
Standing to the side, Little Bean blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of innocence. She said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I won't cause any trouble. As long as I can stay by your side, I promise I'll be a good girl."
Hearing Xiaodoukou's obedient words, Ye Beichen's heart finally settled down a little. He looked at the sky, estimated the time, and then asked, "It's already noon. Have you had lunch yet?"
Little Bean shook her head and answered truthfully, "Not yet." Then, she looked at Ye Beichen expectantly, a slight smile playing on her lips, and asked softly, "Could it be... Brother Ye, are you planning to take me out for lunch?"
However, Ye Beichen seemed a little impatient. He waved his hand and casually replied, "Oh dear, I don't have time to go out to eat with you. How about this, let my guard take you. As for what to eat, it's up to you. Buy whatever you like, just don't worry about saving me money!"
