After being jilted, the entire neighboring village was filled with deep regret.

Chapter 138 Couple's Clash
"Mr. Zhu! I find your words increasingly unpleasant to hear. I was just venting a little, why are you taking it so seriously?" Bai Feng was very displeased.

Zhu Shi, with her eyelids drooping, remained calm. "If you think my words are unpleasant, then don't say such things. After all, there should be give and take. This isn't a place for you to vent your anger! My dowry maid, Cuilan, is quite interesting! My elder brother wanted her, but she didn't want to, so instead of begging me, she went to beg you, my husband. What? Does she think I can't make decisions for her? Or does she think I would harm her?"

Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat. Meeting Zhu's suspicious gaze, he guiltily looked away. "How would I know what your maid is thinking? Anyway, I advised her to leave with you. However, Su Chuan's mother doesn't like Cuilan and said some bad things about Cuilan in front of your elder brother. It was your elder brother who didn't want Cuilan. In short, you make the decision about your maid. You don't need to tell me about these trivial matters."

After saying that, Bai Feng got up and was about to walk out when he met a pair of resentful eyes outside the door.

Zhu laughed in exasperation, deliberately raising her voice, "Fine! Since my husband has said so, I'll make the decision myself. Cuilan has shown no respect to my elder brother, and she's just a hindrance to me. It just so happens that Chen Er's wife on the estate has died of illness, so I'll betroth Cuilan to Chen Er and let her go to the estate to be a steward's wife. What do you think, my husband?"

Bai Feng turned around abruptly, meeting Zhu Shi's smiling eyes. His heart was in turmoil. Zhu Shi knew? Was she setting a trap for him? How much did she know? Who betrayed him? Could it be that Su Chuan had tricked him before leaving?
No, that's not right! If Su Chuan really did that, given Zhu's temperament, her reaction would definitely not be like this. So where exactly is the problem?

Bai Feng couldn't understand it, and his mind became increasingly confused.

Cuilan, however, could no longer bear it. She stepped forward and knelt down with a thud, pleading incessantly, "Young Madam, I have suffered enough by Su Chuan's side. I never want to marry again in this life. Please, Young Madam, have mercy!"

Rulan stepped forward and said righteously, "Cuilan, Chen Er is the manager of the estate. He has no parents and only a young child. You are currently injured and have difficulty conceiving. If you marry him, you can become a mother immediately. You won't be afraid of being dominated by your in-laws. Such a good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern."

If it weren't for the fact that our master was considering your relationship, what you just did would have been enough for him to sell you out eight hundred times over!

"Young Madam, I was just in a state of confusion at the time. Besides, it was Young Master who made the promise, so I went to ask Young Master for help. I didn't have any other intentions. Please, Young Madam, investigate this matter thoroughly!" Cuilan cried uncontrollably.

Young Master Bai listened for a while and, seeing that Cuilan hadn't dragged him into it, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Cuilan's appearance on the bed, he couldn't help but feel a little pity and slowly said, "Alright, you are the eldest young mistress's dowry maid. If you don't want to, the eldest young mistress naturally won't force you. Since you don't want to get married, just comb your hair and become a maid in the eldest young mistress's courtyard. From now on, be careful with your words and actions and don't upset the young mistress."

As he spoke, he turned to look at Madam Zhu, "Are you satisfied with how I've handled this?"

Madam Zhu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, “My husband only asked me after he had already dealt with everything. How could I not give him face? I’m just a servant. How could I be worthy of such respect? I’ve caused my husband so much trouble. I should be punished!”

In this way, Cuilan's mother will take charge of all the menial tasks in the courtyard, allowing the other maids to rest.

She wanted to see if Bai Feng would still pamper Cuilan if she really became a maid.

Young Master Bai was unhappy, but he didn't say anything more, so he turned around and left without looking back.

Cuilan was left kneeling alone on the ground, lost in thought.

She didn't know if her decision was right, but she had no choice but to go down this path and cling to the young master.

The undercurrents at Bai Mansion had no effect on the small courtyard in Yong'an Lane.

Since Su Chunsen's family moved in, Su Chunsen has become a professional doorman, while Su Chuan runs errands for Ke Yunyun, handling things like getting medical advice, buying groceries, and so on.

Wan was mainly responsible for cleaning the kitchen and the yard.

Xiao Xi only needs to stay by Ke Yunyun's side and keep her company.

Zhu Yixuan visited twice and saw that Ke Yunyun was genuinely happy and particularly close to the three members of the Su family. The three members of the Su family also took good care of Ke Yunyun, making her complexion rosy. Zhu Yixuan became increasingly satisfied with the three members of the Su family and even rewarded them with a lot of money.

Because Zhu Yixuan had been visiting frequently lately, Su Chunsen and his group hadn't had a chance to go to Dongmen Village to deliver the message, and could only wait and see. Meanwhile, the Su Chunlin family, whom they were concerned about, was entertaining Ke Dasong and his two sons, along with Ye Chunhua and her sister, who had come from the Bingyuan region.

As soon as they entered the village, many villagers followed the flock of sheep, trying to build rapport with Ke Dasong and asking about the price.

Tao was among them, silently counting the sheep. After finishing, he exclaimed, "Why are there more sheep this year than last year? Are they not selling well on the road?"

"No, no!" Ke Dasong explained with a simple smile, "We raised fifty more sheep this year, and sold more than forty on the way. There are only fifty-three left here."

Just then, Su Chunlin's family came to pick someone up. Upon hearing this, he immediately exclaimed, "Brother-in-law! Let me choose first. I've already promised to select two ewes and four rams for Xiaotai. Money is no object."

We also need to prepare two more for my older brother and Yunyun, so our family will need four.

Tao got anxious, "Brother Chunlin, you bought twelve by yourself, we still have to buy more! I want three too, and my sister-in-law wants three too. Let us pick out six sheep first."

"We three brothers want three pairs!" Ye An shouted as he squeezed into the crowd.

The Ye sisters were overjoyed to see him. "Brother, second brother, third brother, what brings you all here?"

Ye An grinned, "Sis, we'll talk when we get home. First, help us pick out three pairs of sheep."

Ye Chunhua told Ke Zhenliang and immediately led out the three pairs of sheep.

Ye An hurriedly said, "How much silver do you want, elder sister? We'll give it to you right now."

Seeing how readily her younger brother paid, Ye Chunhua knew they were doing well, and her smile deepened. She immediately took out a scale and weighed the money on the spot.

Just after the six sheep were sold, Su Chunlin and his group's twelve sheep were weighed as well.

Next came the six that Dow wanted.

Half of them were sold in no time.

Ke Dasong was both happy and annoyed, wishing he had brought out more sheep.

However, this thought only lasted a short while before his attention shifted back to his money bag.

In just half a day, only five or six sheep remained of the sheep they had brought into the village.

Su Chunlin settled the sheep in the sheepfold, marked it, and then invited them inside for tea and a rest.

As soon as Ke Dasong's butt touched the stool, he eagerly asked about Ke Yunyun's condition.

Su Chunlin chuckled, "I knew you'd ask. That's why I went to check on the child for you beforehand!"
