“What’s so difficult? They did all the heavy work, i just talked. To be honest, it’s not bad to command so many people to work!” Zhou Shi laughed out loud.
The tone of her words made Lin Xiaoyue laugh too.
“As long as you enjoy it.” Lin Xiaoyue thought of something and continued, “I plan to visit a few manors after this batch of spicy cabbage is done. If you don’t mind, would you like to come with me? Consider it… helping me out.”
Zhou Shi laughed heartily, “sure, whenever you want to go, just let me know!
Master Liang and my cousin will get someone to go with you. With them around, who would dare to disrespect you?”
Lin Xiaoyue playfully held Zhou Shi’s arm and said, “thank you. 1 feel more at ease with you by my side!”
“Flehe, we’re all family, why be polite?” Zhou Shi patted Lin Xiaoyue’s arm with a smile.
While they were talking, there was suddenly a sound at the entrance of the courtyard.
Both of them looked in the direction of the sound and found that it was actually Liang Yu and Manager Liang returning.
Upon seeing the two, Zhou Shi’s expression froze.
“Young Master Liang, Manager Liang, did you forget something?” Lin Xiaoyue glanced at Zhou Shi, pretending not to see Zhou Shi’s expression, and smiled as she asked.
“Ms. Lin.” Manager Liang hurriedly entered the door, arching his hand towards Lin Xiaoyue from a distance, and his gaze kept wandering around, as if looking for someone.
“Ms. Lin, may 1 know where Li Xiao is?” He asked Lin Xiaoyue directly, looking very anxious.
Lin Xiaoyue looked at Liang Yu curiously.
Liang Yu gave a warning look at Manager Liang and then approached her.
“Halfway through, 1 suddenly remembered something and wanted to have a chat with Brother Li. I don’t know if he is at home now?”
He thought that since he handled things properly and accomplished a great feat this time, he could tell him about Li Xiao. But he didn’t expect him to be so anxious.
Manager Liang instantly became alert, standing to the side without saying a word.
At this moment, Zhou Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
Liang Yu and the Manager Liang came back to look for Li Xiao, so there was nothing to worry about.
She was really afraid that Liang Yu and her G.o.dsister had some secret agreement that she accidentally discovered.
On one side was her sister, on the other was the Zhou family. It would be difficult for her if there was something going on.
Fortunately…
Lin Xiaoyue caught a glimpse of Zhou Shi’s reaction and felt like laughing inside.
But she looked at Liang Yu instead. “He and Uncle Fu went to the workshop to check the materials. If you need him, I can go get him for you.” With that, she took a step forward.
“No need, please stay. I will go find Brother Li myself.” Liang Yu once again arched his hand towards Lin Xiaoyue.
Then he left with Manager Liang.
Lin Xiaoyue smiled, stopped in her tracks, and didn’t say anything to stop them.
They were quite impatient to come back so soon.
Zhou Shi saw that Liang Yu and Manager Liang had left, and Lin Xiaoyue was still staring at the entrance. She looked in that direction again.
Just as she was about to say something to Lin Xiaoyue, Lin Xiaoyue looked at her.
“Let’s go check your records for those with the most cabbage in their fields.”
“Oh… alright.” Zhou Shi then left with Lin Xiaoyue.
Meanwhile, Liang Yu took Manager Liang to the workshop and found Li Liao.
“Brother Li, can we have a word?” Liang Yu’s entire demeanor changed when he saw Li Xiao.
He lost the haughty n.o.ble image he had in front of others and showed a humble att.i.tude.
Li Liao just glanced at him lightly and said, “there are still two piles of materials left to be counted. Please wait.”
Manager Liang, who was behind Liang Yu, moved slightly but didn’t have time to speak before he was shot a warning look by Liang Yu.
He hurriedly resumed a respectful posture and didn’t say a word.
He didn’t have any plans. He was just surprised by the att.i.tude of General Nangong. After all, their family’s status was extraordinary, even the Crown Prince wouldn’t treat them with negligence.
Rumors had it that this general was reticent and unsociable, and it seemed to be true.
“Alright, we’ll wait until you’re done,” Liang Yu then took Manager Liang to the side.
Li Xiao, under the bewildered gaze of Zhao Fu, continued counting the materials..
