Chapter 446: Chapter 419, Government Order_1
“Hey, what are you thinking about?”
Daohua noticed Xiao Yeyang staring blankly and waved her hand in front of his eyes.
Xiao Yeyang snapped back to reality and smiled, “What did you say?”
With a sidelong glance, Daohua said, “You seem distracted, what’s on your mind?”
Xiao Yeyang laughed, “I was wondering how to find a gold mine.”
Daohua looked somewhat skeptical but didn’t press on, instead she followed up, “So have you come up with any ideas?”
...
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “Apart from Jing Cao as a clue, we haven’t found much else. I guess we have to send more people to search the area.”
Seeing Daohua frown, he smiled again, “Alright, don’t you worry yourself over it.”
Daohua retorted, “How can I not worry? This directly concerns my noble title. Ah, it’s so bothersome. I can’t reveal the reason, and for sure my grandmother and mother won’t allow me to go out. Then I can’t search for it myself.”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head, “Not to mention the Old Madam and your mother, even I wouldn’t agree to you going out to search. Running around all day is extremely exhausting; how could you, a young lady, endure that?”
Daohua protested, “No pain, no gain. If I just sit around, how can I find the gold mine? If I don’t find it, won’t my title of county princess be for naught?”
Xiao Yeyang reassured her, “Haven’t I told you that I’ve got it covered?”
Daohua scoffed, “I don’t want your help. The credit for this is too great. If you gave it to me, how could I ever repay you?”
Xiao Yeyang’s eyes twinkled as he teasingly looked at Daohua, with a hint of mischief in his brows, “That sounds so familiar, oh!” he said, smacking his own head.
“I remember now, when we were shopping the other day, we came across a girl selling herself to bury her father. A young man gave her some silver, and then the girl said, ‘I have nothing to repay you with but…’ but…,” he made a face as if he couldn’t remember the rest.
“But what?” Xiao Yeyang asked eagerly, his gaze burning into Daohua as if begging her to solve the riddle.
Daohua’s cheeks flushed with annoyance. She quickly glanced at the others in the room, seeing that her master and grandmother were whispering to each other, and her third and fourth brothers were fighting over the tomato salad, none of them paying attention here. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she stretched out her hand and gave Xiao Yeyang’s arm a fierce twist, “That’s what you get for talking nonsense.”
“Ow ow ow! Let go, I was just joking,” Xiao Yeyang grimaced, begging for mercy.
Daohua didn’t let go but gave his arm a full three hundred sixty-degree twist, huffing, “Will you dare to do it again?”
Xiao Yeyang shook his head repeatedly, “I dare not, I dare not, never again.”
Seeing Daohua’s expression soften slightly, she gave another three hundred sixty-degree twist, then finally released her grip.
With a pained expression, Xiao Yeyang rubbed the twisted area, looking at Daohua with a mixture of pain and grievance, “You were too harsh. I’m sure it will bruise.”
Daohua remained impassive, “Against you, harsh measures are necessary. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll…” she threatened as if ready to twist him once more.
Xiao Yeyang quickly dodged with a fearful look on his face.
“Big sister, what are you two doing?”
Yan Wenkai suddenly spoke up, catching Daohua off guard. She looked up and realized their master, grandmother, and her two brothers were all watching her and Xiao Yeyang, prompting her to quickly retract her hand in slight embarrassment. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
