古代闺秀被强高H

Her actions infuriated Yu Dong so much that she almost snapped her chopsticks in half. She did not expect that a brat would be this troublesome to deal with, she brought Xian Lei home because she wanted to arrange her as a housewife for Little Bun but after getting to know Xian Lei, she knew that this girl was not as simple as she thought this child was, there was this graceful and elegant aura around this girl which told Yu Dong that the child was not from a simple background.

She was not afraid of trouble but Yu Dong did not wish for her children to be in trouble which was why she changed her mind at once but who would have thought that this brat would end up eyeing her son?

" All right, it\'s new year\'s Eve there is no need for you to get upset is it?" Shen Li interrupted when he saw that his wife was getting angry, he pushed Yu Dong\'s hand which was reaching for a bowl and then turned to look at Xian Lei. " You can go to the town with Auntie Dong tomorrow, Little Lei but make sure to stay next to adults all the time. The situation in the town is chaotic, so don\'t run around okay?"

" Okay," Xian Lei also knew that the reason Yun Xuan was sending her to the town was because he wanted her to meet with her mother. Xian Lei thought of her mother who was on the run and clenched the chopsticks in her hands, clearly her mother was the rightful ruler of the throne and the imperial city but because of her aunt and her jealousy, she had to escape to this small village!

If only she was a few years older then she would have made sure to make her aunt pay for everything that she had done to her mother.

After they were done eating, the rest of the family went to light the firecrackers while Fang Chi on the other hand stayed behind.

As everything was decided, Fang Chi started to work accordingly and went to the backyard where he had planted two Mu of vegetables and started picking them. He did not know why Yu Dong was certain that these vegetables will sell well, after all, even if there was a shortage of vegetables there was no way that officials will throw their money to buy such expensive vegetables. According to the price list that his wife had set, it might be difficult for them to even sell a handful of leeks but he still followed her orders.

" I don\'t know what wife is thinking," Chen Mi sighed as he plucked a tomato and then placed it in the basket. " Even if these vegetables look good and there is a shortage of vegetables, it is not to the point that no one is selling any in the town. Every villager grows a handful of extra vegetables for selling them in the town."

Rarely, villagers would get lucky enough to earn a tael from selling vegetables but their wife actually set the price of half a kg of tomato to be around two taels! This meant that if someone wanted to buy a kg of tomato, they will have to hand her four taels!

" I don\'t know," Fang Chi also had no idea what was going on in Yu Dong\'s mind. He knew that she was not an unscrupulous woman who would sell her vegetables at such a high price to make a profit.

" What are you talking about?" A sweet voice called out to them and it would have been better if that voice was not carrying a hint of snark.

The two of them turned to look at Xiao Hua who was carrying a bowl of dumplings and then heard him say, " Why are you doubting Dong Dong? Can\'t you see the lustre of the tomato? The freshness of the green beans and the garlic? They are so big that you can\'t even hold them in your hand if you were to pick one. With such a quality of vegetables, I believe it\'s a shame to sell them at such a low price."

" We are not saying that this price is not what we deserve, we are discussing whether or not someone will buy such expensive vegetables!" Chen Mi glared at Xiao Hua, he did not like how Xiao Hua acted as if he was the only one who understood Yu Dong.

Xiao Hua harumphed as he pushed a strand of his hair and then said haughtily, " I am not the only one who would be mistaken if you were to say those words to Yu Dong. Even she will feel like you are questioning her, I do understand your worries but with her wits, do you even need to worry about something like this?"

Chen Mi and Fang Chi exchanged a glance with each other as they did a redo of their conversation inside their heads and immediately paled when they realised that they had indeed spoken like they were doubting Yu Dong just now.

" Humph, I see that you seemed to have realised where you went wrong," Xiao Hua placed the bowl of dumpling on the table and then flapped his fan open with a flick of his wrist and then looked at Chen Mi and Fang Chi while covering half of his face with the moon shaped fan. " Be glad that I made sure that Dong Dong was busy and did not hear what you were saying or else, you would have fought on the first day of the new year."

As he finished speaking, Xiao Hua turned around and walked inside the house once again leaving a very dumbfounded Chen Mi behind whose face was purple and pale as he seemed to have realised that he now owed Xiao Hua a big favour. Even so, he was thankful to Xiao Hua but that feeling soon vanished when he entered the house!
