Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1075: Chapter 1076: You are clearly harming him!

Gong Juechen hadn’t finished speaking when Meng Zhuqing drew his sword and placed it against Gong Juechen’s neck, with a look that said if you speak another word, I’ll slice your throat and spill your blood right here on the spot.

Gong Juechen immediately shut his mouth obediently. At the same time, he also silently retracted his hand, which was reaching into his bosom to give Meng Zhuqing a pill.

Seeing this, Meng Zhuqing then sheathed his sword back into its scabbard.

An Jing cursed, ”Gong Juechen, can’t you be less disgusting?”

Gong Juechen felt a bit wronged, ”I was just trying to help Zhuzhu...”

”How is this helping him? You’re clearly harming him!” An Jing was annoyed. ”Which girl would want her beloved to use such lowly stuff on her? If he did as you suggested, Wild Goose Jade would rather die than suffer such indignity.”

Gong Juechen felt even more wronged, ”But the girls at Warm Flower Pavilion really like it, they even said the customers make them take one in advance every time. If I hadn’t deliberately kept a bottle on me, the Old Mama at Warm Flower Pavilion would have bought them all by now.”

An Jing was speechless.

”Do you really think I wouldn’t kill you?!” Meng Zhuqing, furious, drew his sword again, looking as though he was about to kill Gong Juechen. To compare his beloved to some shameless girl from a brothel?!

Gong Juechen hastily ran outside, still shouting, ”Isn’t it enough that I’ve stopped talking?”

Meng Zhuqing chased him to the entrance of the main courtyard, and upon seeing Gong Juechen had already fled beyond the yard, he stopped the pursuit, turned around, and walked back, appearing dejected in front of An Jing and Xiao Changyi, a stark contrast to the fierce and murderous aura from just moments ago.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi exchanged glances upon seeing Meng Zhuqing’s low spirits.

Before either of them could speak, An Yiyun, who was playing nearby, ran over, tugging at Meng Zhuqing’s trouser leg to comfort him, ”Uncle Zhuqing, are you upset because Daddy and Mommy scolded you? Yun Er has been scolded too, oh, but I feel better after having some candy. Here, Yun Er will give you one too.”

Saying so, An Yiyun offered Meng Zhuqing a small piece of precious candy that she couldn’t bear to eat herself.

Meng Zhuqing felt his heart nearly melt with warmth.

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh, ”Even Yun Er has noticed you’re unhappy; you really are upset, aren’t you?”

Meng Zhuqing, slightly embarrassed, gave a wry smile and handed back the candy to An Yiyun, ”Uncle doesn’t need it, uncle isn’t upset, you eat it yourself, Yun Er.”

”Uncle Zhuqing, are you really not upset?” An Yiyun seemed worried and was reluctant to take the candy back.

Meng Zhuqing nodded with a smile, ”I’m not upset.”

Only then did An Yiyun cautiously take the candy back, wrapped it up again carefully, and put it back into her pocket, all the while smiling sweetly, ”Mommy and Daddy only give Yun Er a piece of candy every few days, so Yun Er has to save it for when I feel sad and need it.”

Meng Zhuqing was even more touched. A child had offered something she treasured...

”Yun Er, come here, come to mommy,” An Jing called her over, and once An Yiyun was in her arms, she asked with a smile, ”Why would you give Uncle Zhuqing the candy you can’t bear to eat?”

”Uncle Zhuqing was unhappy; Yun Er didn’t want Uncle Zhuqing to be unhappy,” An Yiyun replied cheerfully. ”But Uncle Zhuqing said he isn’t unhappy. He gave the candy back to Yun Er, so now Yun Er can save the candy again.”

Seeing An Yiyun behave so sweetly, An Jingxin’s heart melted, and she couldn’t help but rub her face against An Yiyun’s little cheek, eliciting a giggling laughter from her.
