Jiang Yang stood helplessly in front of Lin Zhuyu. Su Ying looked at him from a distance and thought that fellow looked so awkward he could almost dig out one whole base camp with his toes!

“Concubine Lin, today’s incident was an accident. Please… please don’t take it to heart.”

Lin Zhuyu lowered her head, looking as if she wanted to jump into a crack in the ground to hide. “I know you didn’t do it on purpose. Don’t bring it up again.” After she finished speaking, she stuffed a package into Jiang Yang’s hands and said, “This is the winter clothing that Mistress asked me to make. Take it.”

With that, she turned and ran away as if she was being chased by a ghost.

Jiang Yang held the package and stood stiffly on the spot, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

“Jiang Yang, what are you doing here?”

Jiang Yang suddenly recovered himself and subconsciously hid the package behind him.

Su Ying felt that his furtive attempt to hide only made his action more conspicuous. “Did Concubine Lin give that to you?”

Jiang Yang’s expression changed at once. “It’s… it’s the winter clothes that Mistress asked her to make.”

“Oh… Winter clothes.”

As Jiang Yang looked at Su Ying, he felt that her expression seemed very thought-provoking no matter how he looked at it. He couldn’t stand the look in her eyes, so he ran away with his package.

“Mother, why is Uncle Jiang’s face so red?”

“Maybe he felt too hot.”

Su Ying carried Ling back to the house. w.a.n.g Su had also returned after giving the older toddler Ji a bath.

Su Ying carried the two little ones to the bed and let them play by themselves. Then, she walked over to Xiao Jin and sat down.

Xiao Jin raised his eyes. After taking a bath, his body had a faint fragrance of soap. Perhaps it was because his hair was let down, but it made him look a little languid and not threatening at all.

In fact, he looked like a docile… pet dog.

Xiao Jin met Su Ying’s gaze and frowned slightly. “What’s wrong?” She had been looking at him with sympathy ever since she came in.

Even when the flesh on his two legs had rotted, she had never shown such an expression on her face.

Su Ying said earnestly, “Xiao Jin, have you ever thought that you might be cheated on one day?”

Xiao Jin was utterly speechless.

Su Ying felt that Xiao Jin’s gaze was like an awl that couldn’t wait to nail her to the coffin.

“You don’t have to be sad. A melon twisted off its stem forcefully before it is ripe does not taste sweet.”

To her surprise, Xiao Jin grabbed her arm and his dark piercing eyes locked onto her eyes. “Even if it’s not sweet, my melon still belongs to me.”

Su Ying’s eyebrows twitched. “What if your melon insists on running away with the melon thief?”

Xiao Jin’s grip on her arm tightened. “Dream on!”

Su Ying wanted to break free from his grasp, but he simply wouldn’t let go. “Let go.”

“Su Ying, you’d better forget about these thoughts that you shouldn’t have.”

Su Ying glared at him. Why was he dragging her into this?

“Don’t worry. I won’t steal your melon.”

Xiao Jin’s brows twitched momentarily, but he gradually calmed down. “Steal my melon? How are you going to steal my melon?”

Xiao Jin didn’t get it immediately. Su Ying simply replied, “I’m too lazy to talk to you. Go to sleep. Go to sleep.”

The two little ones seemed to be playing by themselves, but their tiny ears perked up attentively to listen to their parents’ conversation.

“Big Brother, who wants to steal our melons?”

“I don’t know either, but Mother said that the melon isn’t sweet, so it may not be ripe yet.”

The next morning, Su Ying went to the pit to check on the charcoal after she finished circulating her energy. After making sure that the wood was still burning inside, she covered the pit with dry gra.s.s.

After Xiao Jin saw Su Ying going out alone, he saw Lin Zhuyu diligently moving the remaining pieces of wood left behind by Tian Mu after he made the furniture to the backyard.

However, because the wood blocks were too heavy, she stopped to rest after every few steps.

At this point, Jiang Yang walked over and lifted the pieces of wood without a word.

Lin Zhuyu looked at Jiang Yang’s back profile as he left and pursed her lips. It seemed like she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.

Xiao Jin saw this scene and understood who was the “melon” Su Ying was talking about last night.

After breakfast, Su Ying led Number One and the others out. Cheng Ming had been bitten by a venomous snake and needed to recuperate, so Madam Jiang would be in charge of the fields for the time being. Everyone got busy with their own tasks.

“Jiang Yang.”

Jiang Yang, who was walking past the door, walked into the hall when he heard the voice. “Master, what are your orders?”

“Go and call Lin Zhuyu over. I want to talk to her about something.”

Jiang Yang was a little surprised. Xiao Jin had never taken the initiative to meet Lin Zhuyu ever since she joined their group.

Jiang Yang wanted to ask, but Xiao Jin didn’t need to explain to him the reasons for his actions. Thus, he suppressed his doubts and called out to Lin Zhuyu, who was helping in the kitchen.

“Concubine Lin, Master wants to talk to you about something.”

Lin Zhuyu was also very surprised. She was curious to know why Xiao Jin was looking for her.

Jiang Yang could tell that she was worried and nervous, so he comforted her, “Concubine Lin, don’t worry. It shouldn’t be anything major.”

Lin Zhuyu was a little fl.u.s.tered. The Mistress was not here at this time. What if the Master suspected that she was going to do something to the Mistress…

Lin Zhuyu came to Xiao Jin with an uneasy heart. “Master, you were looking for me?”

Xiao Jin took out a piece of paper from his pocket and placed it on the table. He said calmly, “Take it.”

Lin Zhuyu lowered her head in bewilderment. When she saw the contents of the paper, her eyes widened in shock.

“Letter of divorce… Master, you want to divorce me?”

Xiao Jin’s face didn’t show any reaction. He only murmured a vague acknowledgment.

Lin Zhuyu’s eyes immediately became red-rimmed. She trembled as she took the divorce letter. She turned around and left the hall in a daze.

Jiang Yang, who was standing guard outside the door, was shocked to see her like this. “Concubine Lin, what’s wrong?”

Lin Zhuyu covered her mouth with her hand to stop herself from crying out loud. She shook her head desperately and said as she choked back her tears, “I’m fine.” With that, she ran off.

“Hey…” Jiang Yang saw her running back to her own house but didn’t go after her. He was a man, and it wasn’t good for him to go into a woman’s house.

Jiang Yang glanced at Xiao Jin, who was in the hall. He didn’t know what the two of them had discussed to make Lin Zhuyu suddenly lose control of her emotions.

Today, Su Ying brought Number One and the others to the mountains to catch fish. As it was quite far from home, they ate dry food in the mountains at noon and only returned when it was dark.

When it was time to eat, Su Ying noticed that someone was missing as she sat at the table.

“Where’s Lin Zhuyu?”

Bai Shuang and the others were busy in the kitchen during the day, and when they had time, they would sew winter clothes. They had only heard from Lin Zhuyu that her stomach wasn’t feeling too good, so she had gone back to the house to rest. She hadn’t come out yet.

“I will go and take a look.”

Bai Shuang was about to get up when she saw Lin Zhuyu walking into the hall with a bundle.

Lin Zhuyu’s eyes were red and swollen. She knelt down when she saw Su Ying.

Su Ying’s eyes twitched. “What are you doing?”

Lin Zhuyu’s eyes were red-rimmed as she looked at Su Ying. “I humbly thank you for taking care of me during this period of time, Mistress. Now that I can no longer follow you, I have come to kowtow and thank Mistress for your kindness.”

Su Ying took a pancake and took a bite. She suddenly recalled what she had said to Xiao Jin last night. Could this “melon” really be planning to run away with the melon thief?

“Why are you leaving out of the blue?”

Lin Zhuyu quickly glanced at Xiao Jin, her eyes revealing a vague hint of accusation. “Mistress, Master divorced me. I no longer belong to Mistress… I no longer belong to Master. Boo hoo hoo….”
