Agriculture Escape: Ultimate Boss Has A Space Pocket!

208 Do You Like Old Master Sheng?

Qingfeng continued to pressure him by asking, “Yes?”

Lin Yue had used all his intelligence from several lifetimes.

Suddenly, he had an idea and said in a panic, “You’ll know if you ask Madam Bai.” With that, he quickly fled, afraid that Qingfeng would stop him and continue asking.

Qingfeng stood where she was and watched him escape, but the smile in her eyes was never discovered by Lin Yue.

!!

When Bai Wutong saw Lin Yue running back, before she could go over and dig up more, Lin Yue shouted at the sky and plunged into the water tank where she kept her goldfish.

“Whoosh—”

The water in the water tank suddenly overflowed. Lin Yue buried his head in it and breathed bubbles.

It was as if he had been provoked.

Bai Wutong sighed. Thinking that his confession had failed, she couldn’t be bothered to ask, lest she hit a nerve and he was provoked again.

After a while, Qingfeng and a few dark guards returned with wooden stakes.

Lin Yue had already composed himself and was secretly paying attention to Qingfeng and Bai Wutong’s conversation.

In the end, after nervously observing for a few days, there was still no actions taken by Qingfeng.

He finally couldn’t help but ask Bai Wutong, “Madam, didn’t Qingfeng ask you anything?”

Bai Wutong was stunned. “About what?”

Hearing the answer, Lin Yue looked utterly disappointed.

As expected, Qingfeng did not take his words to heart. He could not even be bothered to ask Bai Wutong.

Qingfeng happened to walk over. Lin Yue glared at her and left angrily.

Seeing that something was wrong with him, she said to Qingfeng, “He said that you have something to ask me? What is it?”

Qingfeng’s gaze landed on Lin Yue’s angry back and she shook her head. “No need. I already know.”

After that day, she felt that Qingfeng seemed to be more distant from Lin Yue than before. She couldn’t help but guess, “Is it because of the poison?”

Qingfeng had yet to remove the poison within the body, so she did not accept Lin Yue.

Qingfeng had always been open with Bai Wutong. “Yes.”

Bai Wutong sighed. “Gu Zhongxun is concocting an antidote. He’ll be able to concoct it soon.”

Qingfeng looked up at her. “It won’t be that easy unless we can find Wen Renhua.”

However, Wen Renhua was like a loach. Every time the people she sent out heard a little news about him, he would disappear again.

Bai Wutong also wanted to find Wen Renhua. Gu Zhongxun said that most of the blood clots in Chu Tianbao’s brain had been removed, leaving only the parts he didn’t dare to touch.

If she could not find Wen Renhua, she could only wait for Gu Zhongxun’s medical skills to improve before she could perform acupuncture on Chu Tianbao.

“Then are you going to tell Lin Yue that it’s because of the poison?”

Qingfeng’s gaze darkened and she shook her head. “There’s no need for that.”

The poison in their bodies was only temporarily suppressed. They might suddenly die one day.

Respecting Qingfeng’s decision, Bai Wutong looked at Lin Yue pitifully.

He wondered when he would be able to bring the beauty back.

…

Madam Cui’s personal maidservant, Jin Lan, was beautiful, capable, smart, and literate. She was very well-liked by Madam Cui.

Therefore, she was also willing to put in more effort for her marriage.

Madam Cui felt that Lan Jingbai, who was serving her son, was tall and handsome. If Jin Lan married him, she could still serve the future Madam Cui in the future.

However, he naturally had to ask Jin Lan what she thought about it.

If Jin Lan’s heart belonged to someone else and she paired the wrong couple, it would not be a kind intention anymore.

Jin Lan walked in smartly in a light green dress. Madam Cui told her not to busy herself and called her to her side.

“Jin Lan, how many years have you been by my side?”

“Madam, Jin Lan has been chosen to enter the main courtyard since I was 12 years old. It’s already the fifth year and I am 17 years old.”

Madam Cui patted her hand and said gently, “You’re 17 years old already. If you have someone you like, I’ll stand up for you.”

Jin Lan blushed and said reservedly, “Madam, I don’t want to get married. I want to stay by your side and serve you for the rest of my life.”

Madam Cui lifted a strand of hair on her forehead. “Silly child, which woman doesn’t get married? If you don’t have someone you like, how about Jingbai?”

“Jingbai is older, but I watched this child grow up. He’s proper and reliable. If you marry him, you’ll definitely be able to live a good life with him.”

Lan Jingbai and Cui Muzhi were like brothers. His future was definitely limitless. Moreover, his martial arts were powerful, and he was handsome. There were countless maidservants in the entire Cui family who wanted to marry Lan Jingbai.

If Jin Lan could marry Lan Jingbai, many people would definitely be envious of her.

However, when Jin Lan heard that Madam Cui wanted to marry her to Lan Jingbai, there was no surprise on her delicate face. Instead, she said with huge resistance, “Madam, Jin Lan doesn’t want to get married yet. Please fulfill my wish.”

She must have someone she likes if she said this.

Madam Cui and Granny Zeng looked at each other and helped her up from the ground. “Since you’re unwilling, I won’t force you. However, if you have someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you must tell me. Our Jin Lan is gentle and capable. Whoever marries you will be lucky.”

Madam Cui must want her to marry and have children. Jin Lan swallowed what she was about to say and nodded reservedly.

After Jin Lan left, Madam Cui asked Granny Zeng, “Do you know who Jin Lan likes?”

Granny Zeng was not too sure. “I’ll ask Linglan. She’ll definitely know.”

Ling Lan and Jin Lan were both maidservants. However, Ling Lan was two years older than Jin Lan and had already married the butler’s youngest son two years ago.

...

Madam Cui nodded. “This child is so shy. You should go and ask. If the person she likes is a good person, go and test the other party’s intentions.”

Granny Zeng received Madam Cui’s instructions and went to look for Ling Lan.

Ling Lan knew a little, but she was not sure. She said to Granny Zeng, “I just often see Jin Lan being in daze while doing embroidery and looking at the house in the west.”

“The house in the west?” Granny Zeng looked in the direction where Ling Lan. Wasn’t the house in the west Old Master Sheng’s house?

Granny Zeng said in surprise, “Jin Lan likes Old Master Sheng?”

Ling Lan looked around and lowered her voice. “I’m not too sure either. Granny Zeng, you should ask Jin Lan.”

Sheng Huaixuan was a talented man with an extraordinary bearing. Although he was a merchant in the past, he was not someone a servant like Jin Lan could covet.

Ling Lan felt that Jin Lan had no chance, but she could not say this directly.

It was naturally best for Granny Zeng to persuade her.

When Granny Zeng received the news, she immediately rushed to tell Madam Cui.

When Madam Cui heard this, she felt that it was a happy thing.

...

Stinky was already one year old, and Sheng Huaixuan could legitimately be remarried.

If Sheng Huaixuan took a fancy to Jin Lan, her status would naturally not be a problem.

Madam Cui was careful to avoid misunderstandings and asked Granny Zeng to confirm Jin Lan’s thoughts.

Granny Zeng found Jin Lan and went straight to the point. “Girl, do you like Old Master Sheng?”

Jin Lan was stunned. When did she say that she liked Old Master Sheng?

The person she liked was clearly Lin Yue!
