Chapter Thirty-Two: Quarrel

  Ye Yun casually grabbed a servant girl who was hastily carrying a tea bowl and running past them. The garden was filled with peasants wearing coarse clothing, and this beautifully dressed servant girl knew that she must have been brought by the people in that burst of laughter.

  The maid had just walked by with her head down, unaware of Ling Feng and Ye Yun. At this moment, she was caught, lifted her head, and was frightened pale, "Master! Madam!"

  "Ah! It's a maid from our household. Ling Feng, do you know her?" Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, if it was someone from the Ling Miao Mountain Villa, then there could only be one answer.

  "Is Ling Wei here?" Ling Feng's voice dropped a few degrees.

  "Yes." The maid replied cautiously with her head down, "Miss and Miss Xueqing are both in."

  "Is this the Magistrate's residence? What are they doing here?"

  "The young lady said that the peaches in the peach garden are all ripe, so she invited Miss Xueqing to come and pick some. The maid's voice got softer and softer, obviously feeling very guilty."

  "Dong Er! You little scamp, it takes you so long to fetch a cup of tea? Did you sneak off somewhere to play?" Ling Wei stormed out of the peach grove, her pink dress perfectly matching the scenery.

  Looking at her elegant attire, she doesn't seem like someone who came to pick peaches, but rather like someone who came for a blind date.

  Ling Wei was followed by a woman of about the same age as her, with a pale purple gauze skirt that set off her enchanting figure perfectly.

  She is Wu Youwei's sister, Wu Xueqing.

  Wu You's parents died early, so his only sister lived with him.

  Wu Xueqing caught sight of Ling Feng at a glance, her eyes lit up, and her face instantly flushed with red.

  Unlike Wu Xueqing's reaction, Ling Wei saw Ling Feng and her originally arrogant momentum was instantly extinguished.

  "Brother..." Ling Wei called out softly, "How did you come here?"

  "This should be a question for you. I've said it before, this isn't a place for you to play around, don't come and disturb the farmers at work."

  "I didn't, I came to help too!" Ling Wei argued with a huff, her eyes glaring fiercely at Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun raised an eyebrow, she was inexplicably offended by this tone.

  "Need help?" The temperature around Ling Feng suddenly dropped a few degrees again. He glanced at the tea tray in Dong Er's hand, which was still the tea set brought from Ling Mu Mountain Villa. "If you want to help, change into your elder sister's clothes and follow Chai Bo and others to work hard!"

  "Ling Feng actually didn't give Wu Xueqing face in front of her, Ling Wei was suddenly furious."

  Ling Feng had always been very fond of her, even if he didn't like her coming to the garden, but it wasn't to the point where he would scold her in front of outsiders.

  It's all that woman's fault! She even stood by and gloated at her misfortune! Ling Wei directed all her resentment towards Ye Yun.

  Hmph! She's not having it easy, and neither should she!

  "Fine! If I can go and live with Chai Bo, then what about her? Is she also here to stroll around Linzi? If she can come and stroll, why can't I?" Ling Wei pointed at Ye Yun with one hand, her anger surging, her gaze fierce as if she wanted to bite her to death.

  Hey! She's always quietly staying by Ling Feng's side, lowering her presence, why did she pull her into the battle for no reason?

  "Yuner is your sister-in-law from now on, I brought her here today to get familiar with the garden. Didn't you just say you were here to help? If so, then hurry up and go." Ling Feng's gaze softened a bit when he looked back at Ye Yun, but it turned stern again when facing Ling Wei.

  When Wu Xueqing heard Ling Feng's words "Yun'er will be your sister-in-law from now on", her face changed slightly.

  "This is unfair!" Ling Wei shouted, "Brother, you're being biased! When Auntie Shiman was around, brother wasn't this biased. Now that there's this woman, brother doesn't want his sister anymore!"

  Upon hearing Shi Man's name, Ling Feng's expression changed slightly, and his eyes darted to Ye Yun. Seeing that she was calm as usual, he couldn't tell whether he felt joy or loss in his heart.

  Wu Xueqing stepped forward in time to hold Ling Wei, softly comforting her: "Don't cry. Who doesn't know that Master Ling can't bear to see you cry? You're making it difficult for Master Ling."

  Ling Wei originally didn't cry, but after Wu Xueqing reminded her, Da Dou's tears fell like a faucet that had been turned on.

  Ye Yun was speechless. What a big deal is this! She hasn't even done anything yet, and her younger sister is already putting on airs to compete with her for the position in "brother's" heart.

  Wu Xueqing originally wanted to leave a good impression on Ling Feng while pulling in Ling Wei, but she thought that her small actions had not escaped Ling Feng's eyes.

  "Ling Wei, you really don't know what's important and what's not as you get older." Ling Feng showed no signs of softening, instead becoming even more severe.

  Ling Wei was taken aback, knowing that she had really touched Ling Feng's bottom line. If it were usual times, as long as she shed a tear, Ling Feng would generally give in to her.

  But at this time, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't bear to show her weakness. Suddenly, tears fell even more fiercely.

  "It looks like picking peaches is quite interesting." Ye Yun smiled and joined the battle, "Why don't we go pick peaches together and enjoy some rural fun?"

  She came into Taoyuan with a happy heart, but didn't expect to leave in such a depressed state.

  Everyone was stunned and couldn't understand why she still had the mood to talk about picking peaches in such a situation.

  "Do you want to go pick peaches?" Ling Feng asked.

  "Really!" Ye Yun looked at Ling Wei, "Aren't you going to help pick peaches? I want to try it too. Since we're here, just strolling back seems a bit pointless."

  Ling Wei's expression changed slightly. They had just about finished arguing and in a little while, they might not even need to go help pick peaches anymore.

  Now Ye Yun pulled it back again.

  She doesn't want to go and help, it's too tiring!

  Ling Feng saw Ye Yun's determined attitude, nodded, "Alright. I'll get Chai Bo to come over and teach you." However, he was still worried that she would feel hot, and reminded her, "If you're feeling hot, don't force yourself."

  "Don't worry! I'm not that fragile." Just kidding! If she had to say, she still has some confidence in her heat resistance. Following Master on the mountain, there's no air conditioning or electric fan, all relying on endurance.

  Ye Yun agreed to help pick peaches together, and Ling Wei had no reason to make a fuss anymore, she could only secretly resent the loss in front of her. In her heart, she couldn't help but feel even more resentful towards Ye Yun.

  Chai Bo arrived soon, bringing several coarse cloth clothes with him.

  "Ma'am, the ladies' clothes are very expensive and can't be scratched by branches. Although this coarse clothing is not good-looking, it won't tear easily, please don't despise it, ma'am and ladies."

  Chai Bo handed over three thick clothes to Ye Yun and Ling Wei, Wu Xueqing.

  "Huh? Me too?" Wu Xueqing hadn't expected to be included herself, and stood there holding her thick clothes in a daze.

  "Miss Wu can go back now if she doesn't want to," Ling Feng said coldly.

  Wu Xueqin gritted her teeth secretly, but didn't want to give a bad impression to Ling Feng at this time. She immediately forced a smile and said: "Of course I'm willing to help with Ling Wei."

  But in her heart, she was secretly miserable. Since Wu Youwei became an official, when had she ever done any hard labor?
