Chapter 35: Return

Could it be Ah Xin? But Xin has only been away from here in a few days. Fang Ziyu asked uncertainly, “Did Xin send you?”

An Ji felt awkward upon hearing this. She didn’t know what name her master is, so how should she respond? Oh, right, “My Mistress wears a purple robe.”

Fang Ziyu’s heart lifted, “It’s Ah Xin.”

He didn’t expect Xin to secretly send someone to protect him. He felt completely relieved, ignoring the two people lying on the ground. He had no patience for those who attempted to harm him.

It must be said that Fang Ziyu’s mindset was somewhat stronger than that of the men in this female-dominated world.

“Master, you go back first. An Ji will take care of things here.” An Ji thought that such a charming and remarkable man as her Master shouldn’t be defiled by these peasants.

“It’s fine.”

“Village Chief, about this…”

Fang Ziyu didn’t know what to say. This was the first time he, a sheltered man, had encountered such a situation. But he didn’t think it was An Ji’s fault and didn’t intend to blame her for anything.

The Village Chief, looking at the sudden appearance of An Ji, was also surprised. Her aura was very similar, no, her aura was exactly like the guards from a prominent family.

She didn’t expect Miss Chen to have left a guard by Master Fang’s side. Then, wasn’t everything Lai Pilin said before false?! Fortunately, it wasn’t true, or perhaps the entire Linjia Village might been implicated.

Looking at the father-daughter pair lying like dead fish, the Village Chief had no sympathy. “Master Fang, this isn’t your fault. If they die, it’s their own fault. If they’re still alive, it’s up to you how to deal with them. I’ll go find the doctor for them first. Farewell.” With that, she called a few people to carry the two to find the doctor.

As the Village Chief left, the villagers began comforting Fang Ziyu, telling him not to worry too much. After all, someone had dared to provoke the young master, and this was the consequence of kicking the iron plate. If anything happened to them, it was fate.

Fang Ziyu smiled and nodded one by one, realizing that these villagers were really kind.

After everyone left, he asked the person behind him, “How long have you been here? How’s Xin?”

And An Ji, hearing her master ask about her mistress, became excited at the thought of her mistress’s greatness. “Master, it’s been a day. I was rescued by Mistress Xin. The mistress is fine, so don’t worry.”

Hearing this, Fang Ziyu relaxed slightly. Good, that’s good.

“Ziyu?”

Xiao Liang had been waiting in the house for a long time and didn’t see Fang Ziyu. Worried, he came out and saw Fang Ziyu talking to An Ji, but he couldn’t hear what they were saying from a distance.

“Xiao Liang.” He came forward and took his hand, introducing him, “Xiao Liang, this is the guard sent by my fiance. You don’t have to worry these days.” He smiled at him.

After the incident with Lai Pilin, their relationship had changed. They were a little unfamiliar and polite before, but now Fang Ziyu thought having such a friend was fortunate.

Xiao Liang covered his mouth in surprise, but quickly realized that he had lost his composure.

At the same time, he let go of the stone in his heart and happily said to Fang Ziyu, “That’s great, now we don’t have to worry.”

—

Back in the familiar Wuding Town, Chen Xin revealed a smile and continued on her way to Linjia Village.

She didn’t expect that leaving for just over five days would feel like a century had passed.

To her, Xiao Yu’er was both a drug and salvation, immersing herself in it made her more humane and willing to engage with the outside world.

“Chao Feng, what do you think Xiao Yu’er is doing?”

While thinking about Fang Ziyu, Chen Xin asked Chao Feng.

Chao Feng rolled her eyes. Master, how should I answer?

Suddenly, at this moment, Chen Xin added heartlessly, “Oh, right, you’re so spiritual that I almost forgot you can’t talk.”

Chao Feng was driven crazy. When did her master become so good at teasing people? No, teasing horses?

Chao Feng accelerated, thinking it was better to return to her master’s side quickly, without being mocked as a speechless horse.

Watching Chen Xin approaching like a whirlwind on horseback, a villager shouted loudly, “It’s really Miss Chen?”

“It really is.”

“Miss Chen is back! I’ll go tell the Village Chief.”

Everyone only found out that Chen Xin wasn’t in Linjia Village that day, so when they saw her return, they all called out loudly, not knowing what mood they were acting under.
