After the commotion ended, the crowd dispersed.

  Qin Ling’s little sister got a fever. She was at home taking care of her. She gave some opinions about the event that happened just now but didn’t dare to say too much about it.

  If she said too much things, her words would be spreaded and she might suffer.

  This was an era where a person’s speech was restricted too.

  The case was closed really quickly. The murderer was the man living beside Qin Ling. It was said that he had a secret relationship with Liu San’s wife but he later found out that she had relationships with other guys too. When Liu San was not at home, he went to find you and questioned her. THe two of them didn’t have a good conversation and in a fit of anger, the man strangled Liu San’s wife.

  Although the man’s wife kept claiming that he was innocent, the case was closed.

  A life for a life. The man was given the death penalty and he would be executed after Autumn.

  This case got spreaded around all the villages. The man’s wife didn’t manage to prove his innonence and left the village as everyone fingerpointed at her.

  Although the case was closed, the pests were still there.

  At this moment, Father Liu suddenly stood up and organized all the man in the village to lit fires in the night. The locust would fly towards the fire and get burnt. After that, they would bury the corpses.

  This method was a little troublesome but it was a more effective method than before.

  Father Liu did something good for the village and got praised by a lot of people.

  “I didn’t think of this, Xinyue thought of it.” Father Liu smiled and said, “That child loves to read. She saw this method in the books.”


  Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds and then followed Father Liu’s hint and praised Liu Xinyue.

  Ming Shu squatted behind and ate her drumstick. The little kids beside her were really angry. “Sister, you thought of this method too but they didn’t believe you.”


  Qin Ling stood at the side and heard what the little kids said. She rubbed the kid who said this. “It’s okay, stop talking about this.”


  “Sister, why do they believe what Master Liu say?” The little sister of the Qin family pulled Ming Shu’s elbow and shook it.

  Ming Shu couldn’t eat her drumstick properly so she replied, “Because the Liu family is rich. Work hard and earn more money. You can bullly people when you grow up too.”


  “Qingqing, what are you teaching them?” Qin Ling didn’t know if she should laugh or cry.

  “Okay, I wil work hard and earn money. I will buy nice clothes for sister, a big house for my parents, and candied haws for my little sister and brothers!” The little sister of Qin family said with a serious face.

  “You need to work hard and grow up first.” Ming Shu knocked on her head.

  The little sister of Qin family covered her head pitifully. “I am working hard already.”


  After chasing the little kids away, Qin Ling sighed. “When I told them about this, they said that I was a little girl and didn’t believe me……”


  “So Liu Xinyue is smarter than you.”


  She had Father Liu to say this. Father Liu had the right of speech in this village so the villagers would do what he say even if they didn’t believe him.

  If it failed, Father Liu would be the one bearing the consequences. If it succeeded, she would take the credits.

  Father Liu and the villagers dispersed. Qin Ling needed to go to the field so Ming Shu followed her there. She didn’t do any work and just sat on the ridge and watched her.

  Qin Ling was really stressed.

  The villagers pointed at them when they saw this strange scene.

  However, she couldn’t do anything to Ming Shu. She would just do what she want. If she didn’t want to do something, she would not do it even if you kneeled down and begged her.

  “Hey Qingqing, that Lord Cheng is here to look for you again.”


  As Qin Ling got up to take a break, she saw a platoon of people coming towards them in a in formidable array and immediately winked at Ming Shu.

  “Does that Lord Cheng like you? He keeps hanging around you all day.” Qin Ling was really curious.

  Ever since Cheng Gui stayed at the Liu residence, Ming Shu would meet him whenever she went back.

  “Like me? How did you form that conslusion? I am not close with him.” She just felt that this crazy person kept hopping around her for no reason.

  “If he don’t like you, why is he hanging around you?” Qin Ling said, “Qingqing, grab this opportunity. I heard that Lord Cheng comes from a powerfl background.”


  “How can he like me after seeing me for just a few times? Maybe he just like my looks?”


  Can you don’t praise yourself? Although you really look quite pretty…… Qin Ling though about it and felt that it made sense. These young lords from the Capital were all glib-tongued. They were so good at coaxing people!

  Ming Shu followed Qin Ling’s gaze. Cheng Gui was bringing his beautiful servant girls and coming from the direction of the town.

  He might be going back to the Liu residence. When he saw Ming Shu, he changed his direction and walked towards them.

  He took the umbrella from the servant girl behind him and held it over Ming Shu’s head. “Miss Liu, the Sun is so bright. Are you not afraid of getiing tan?”


  Ming Shu smiled and said in a light tone. “I am a natural beauty. I will not get tan.”


  Cheng Gui: “.……” F**k, I can’t carry on this conversation.

  Can you follow the script?

  “A lady should take care of herself.” Cheng Gui said, “Under such a bright Sun, even if you don’t get tan, you will get sunburnt too. You can’t be like this. However, don’t worry, I will hold the umbrella for you next time.

  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Police, there is a crazy person here trying to woo me! Hurry up and catch him!!

  Cheng Gui had already squatted down. He held the umbrella so that it covered her entirely and she didn’t get bask in the Sun.

  “When are you going back?”


  Ming Shu looked at Qin Ling who was tittering. “In a while.”


  Cheng Gui nodded. “Then I wil go back with you.”


  Ming Shu pulled her mouth corners. “Are you very free?”


  Cheng Gui raised his eyebrows. “A rich person is really free.”


  “.……” You are rich. You have the final say. Ming Shu paused for a while and asked, “Why did you come to Yunli Village?”


  He came here for so long but she never saw him doing anything serious.

  The rich and useless Cheng suddenly got serious. “If I say that I came to find you, will you believe?”


  Ming Shu froze foe a second. Then, she said calmly, “Will you believe that gold will fall from the sky?”


  “Yes.” Cheng Gui nodded her head. “If you want to see it, I can make it happen for you.”


  I can do whatever I want because I am rich.

  Are you convinced!

  I don’t believe that I can’t woo an idiot like you!

  Ming Shu chocked. Rich people couldn’t be provoked. I shall run away.

  Ming Shu stood up and walked to the other side of the ridge. Then, she disappeared in front of Cheng Gui.

  Cheng Gui: “.……” Wait, he didn’t say anything wrong right? Why did she run away?!

  Cheng Gui felt stifled as he returned to the Liu residence. He was thinking what went wrong with his strategy when someone called him.

  “Lord Cheng.”


  Liu Xinyue came out from the other side. She had specially dressed up. She closed her lips and gave a standard smile. It was just perfect, elegant and seductive.

  Cheng Gui scanned Liu Xinyue. “Yes?”


  Liu Xinyue’s voice was enticing. “There is a light festival tomorrow. Will you be free? Although this is a small place, there are many things to play and eat. You must not have experience all these yet, right? I can bring you around……”


  “I have a date.” Cheng Gui rejected Liu Xinyue.

  “Oh……” Liu Xinyue was shocked. “Lord Cheng…… who are you dating?”


  “What does that have to do with you?”


  “Nothin……”
