But, it’s absolutely impossible for Lin Chujiu to take the initiative, to deliver something for Xiao Tianyao.
Su Cha and Liu Bai waited for more than half a month, for Lin Chujiu to send something in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. At first, the two of them secretly sympathize with Xiao Tianyao, but later on, they sympathize with themselves.
“w.a.n.gye has become more and more terrible these days. I will no longer dare to enter Xiao w.a.n.gfu if this continues.” Xiao Tianyao’s cold eyes could freeze people, Su Cha could endure the coldness, but… …
It’s too scary. If this continues, Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people will be frozen to death.
“Half a month have pa.s.sed, w.a.n.gfei must have recovered from her injuries. Should we visit her and ask her to come back?” Liu Bai finally realized the benefit of Lin Chujiu’s existence in Xiao w.a.n.gfu. And he actually misses her.
“Ask w.a.n.gfei to come back at this time? Do you have a bit of brain?” Su Cha didn’t feel good and look at Liu Bai: “w.a.n.gye and the emperor are bound to fight soon. It’s not safe for w.a.n.gfei to stay in the capital.”
“Then, what should we do?” Any situation that needs to use brain, Liu Bai will consciously depend on Su Cha.
Su Cha didn’t live up to Liu Bai expectations,, he thinks for a moment, then said: “If we want to get rid of this bad luck, we must start with w.a.n.gfei.”
Heh heh heh… …
Liu Bai impolitely replied: “But, according to Qiuxi’s letter, w.a.n.gfei is very cold and hard to approach. As soon as she heard w.a.n.gye’s name, she will frown immediately and stayed emotionless. Are you sure you want to talk to w.a.n.gfei?”
“I don’t need to talk with w.a.n.gfei. I have another way.” Su Cha’s eyes s.h.i.+ne brightly. People who are familiar with him know it’s meaning. Liu Bai felt cold on his back and had gooseb.u.mps. Then, he took a step away from Su Cha.
Fortunately, Su Cha is not planning to use him.

In Zhuangzi, the people were very busy preparing for the spring planting. Lin Chujiu let Xiu Mei and Xiu Hui go back home, to help their parents. So today, she just was sitting in her room, while reading books.
In the afternoon, Chunxi happily enter the room with light footsteps: “w.a.n.gfei, Brother Zhuzi sent us several hares. They are all very plump. This slave asks the kitchen staff to cook two rabbits. w.a.n.gfei can eat rabbit stew at noon.”
After being treated coldly for several days, Chunxi becomes used with it. Chunxi is a top-notch maidservant. The two little girls become capable under her teachings. But, they are still not smart.
However, Lin Chujiu is quite used to people who are not smart.
“No, you can eat it.” Chunxi quite became honest with her. But, she still doesn’t look at her face. Chunxi is Xiao w.a.n.gfu’s people. She is willing to use her as long as she is obedient.
Chunxi knows that Lin Chujiu is not interested, so she no longer persuades her. She only cheerfully said her thanks. Seeing Lin Chujiu’s face has good reflection, Chunxi boldly said: “w.a.n.gfei, there is quite a number of wild vegetables and wild meat in the kitchen. Should… … we send some back at home?”
Ooohhh…… Young Master Su Cha, I risk my face just to get w.a.n.gye some benefit ah. You should praise me in front of w.a.n.gye for doing a good job!
People in Zhuangzi know that everything Lin Chujiu had sent in the capital, was only received by Guo Gongfu. Lin Family and Xiao w.a.n.gfu didn’t receive any. So this time, when Chunxi mentions it, Lin Chujiu didn’t think much about it. She’s still thinking about Guo Gongfu, so she nodded her head and said: “Pick some good wild vegetables and eggs for my grandmother. As for the others, figure it out yourselves.”
Meng Laofuren is very old, she rarely eats meat. So, she always sent goodies that the old lady could only eat. As for the others, Lin Chujiu really has no concerns.
“Yes, this slave will obey.” Chunxi retired with a happy face. But, after she left, her heart jump up in fright.
She was scared, she was afraid of being discovered by their w.a.n.gfei.
Su Cha’s plan is dangerous, she needs to send goodies to the Xiao w.a.n.gfu. With that, their w.a.n.gye will be happy, but their w.a.n.gfei will not.
She needs to think of a way for their w.a.n.gfei not to realize this.
Chunxi went to the kitchen in a hurry, then she looked at the few rabbits and basket of wild vegetables. After careful a.n.a.lyzing, she told Qiuxi to find a few old women in a low voice. She needs to go to the mountain to dig some more wild vegetables, without disturbing their w.a.n.gfei.
Qiuxi knows Chunxi’s intention, so she hastily proposes: “Do you also want to send the guards to hunt some prey on the mountain?”
“No, if there are too many preys, w.a.n.gye will be suspicious. w.a.n.gye can recognize knife and arrow wound at a glance.” Chunxi looked careless, but she was actually a very cautious person.
Qiuxi nodded and looked for several old women who knew wild vegetables. Then, they went to the mountain altogether. They only rushed back before lunch.
“Right now, wild vegetables are difficult to dig.” Chunxi only digs a small basket of wild vegetables. And it is estimated that it can only be a small dish.
It’s not because Chunxi was being lazy. But because ever since Lin Chujiu arrived, the wild vegetables that were near the vicinity of Zhuangzi have been dug up. The people in Zhuangzi all knew that Lin Chuanji likes receiving wild vegetables. So, the people always dig up when they have free time. And they will send it to Lin Chujiu.
Of course, Lin Chujiu didn’t let those people suffer for nothing. In addition to free consultation and medicine, Lin Chujiu often ask the kitchen staff to give them food.
For farmers, eating with a full stomach is better than any wild vegetables. With food as compensation, the enthusiasm of the people to dig wild vegetables become even higher, so… …
The wild vegetables in the near surrounding met a tragedy.
Fortunately, Lin Chujiu doesn’t like eating the wild vegetable, so the wild vegetables will have time to grow back in the upcoming year.
The wild vegetables that will be sent to Meng Laofuren are not much. But now that they will send some to Xiao Tianyao, it becomes even less. Chunxi sighed and decided to add more bird eggs in the basket.
These bird eggs came from a child in the village, his brother got sick some time ago. The town doctor said that his brother cannot be saved. In his uneasiness, the child begs Lin Chujiu.
Lin Chujiu did not only cured the child’s brother but also didn’t ask for money. Because of that, the child feels so grateful. He went to the mountain and pick up several eggs in the bird’s nest. Then said that it was for Lin Chujiu to eat.
Afterward, Lin Chujiu sent the child’s family a basket of eggs. Saying that it is for the children’s nourishment. The child’s family naturally refused. However, how can Lin Chujiu take back what she offered?
Everything was packed, Chunxi didn’t dare to mess up things. She only sent a basket of wild vegetables and a rabbit in Xiao w.a.n.gfu.
Chunxi didn’t dare to trample Meng Laofuren’s share more. The rest of the rabbit was saved for them to eat.
So to say, their w.a.n.gye is very poor, he seems living poorer than them.
Chunxi felt uneasy. Before she handed the goodies to the delivery man, she added three more sentences: “These things should be sent as soon as possible. It’s best not to get other people’s attention. You should hand them directly to Housekeeper Cao.”
Just by thinking that she’s doing bad things right under their w.a.n.gfei’s nose, Chunxi was very nervous. She knows their w.a.n.gfei is not a completely good person. If their w.a.n.gfei learn about this, she will be miserable… …
