Countryside Romance

The next day.

Lin Jinyan suffered a serious injury to her arm while hunting yesterday. After Muyun discovered this, she spent the whole night blaming Lin Jinyan for being careless. Today, she even didn't allow him to go up the mountain to hunt. She wanted him to follow her to the store to guard her.

After arriving at the store, Mu Yun didn't let Lin Jinyan do any work, she only asked him to sit on the side and watch.

Lin Jinyan had no choice but to carry a chair and act as a guard.

In the afternoon, before it was time for lunch break, Ji Ge rushed to Muyun Shop and saw Lin Jinyan sitting blankly at the door. Lin Jinyan pulled on his sleeve and pulled him away.

Seeing that Ji Ge was his brother-in-law, Lin Jinyan did not stop him and followed him into an alley.

The two of them faced off.

"Have you heard the rumors in the village?"

Lin Jinyan frowned and asked:

"What rumor?"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to be ignorant, Zhingo asked in puzzlement:

"Rumor has it in the village that you were tangled up with a young miss of a rich family with the surname Chen. You pulled and pulled about in the mountain forest and did some things that no one knew about."

Although Ji Ge didn't spend much time with the Lin Clan, he knew that Lin Jinyan was an honest person. However, this rumor had been spreading for more than a day and no one had come out to clarify it. He was suspicious of Lin Jinyan's attitude and so he came out to ask. At this moment, he saw Lin Jinyan furrow her brows, believing his words and telling him the contents of the rumors.

When Lin Jinyan heard this, he explained:

"Yesterday morning, I did meet Chen Mo, but I only spoke a few words with her. She was very entangled with me, and I have expressed my feelings to her many times, and the rumour must have come from her. "

Ji Ge had already completely trusted Lin Jinyan. He nodded and said,

"I wonder if Mu Yun and Aunt know about this matter? "If you do not stop the rumors as soon as possible, I'm afraid it will ruin your Lin Family's reputation."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said:

"This isn't the first time the Lin Clan has received such an incident. If the rumors were to be stopped at every single time, wouldn't that mean that the Lin Clan wouldn't even have the strength to eat anymore? Mu Yun believes in me, and I believe in her as well. We don't care about these trivial rumors, we'll just let it be. If our reactions are intense, others will think that it's true. We just want to cover it up. "

Ji Ge heard this and felt relieved, however, he didn't let out a sigh of relief. From his words, it could be seen that the Lin Family had suffered much more severe and cruel fate than these rumors. Otherwise, Lin Jinyan would not have been so casual about it.

Thinking about how the Chen family of An Village always framed the Lin family, he couldn't help but wonder: Was this surnamed Chen and Lin fated to get entangled?

The two chatted for a while longer before they turned around and returned to the store.

Seeing that they had returned, Mu Yun relaxed halfway and said with a smile,

"What are you two whispering about? How come I didn't know you two were so close? "

The two men looked at each other and saw the disgust in each other's eyes. They knew that it wasn't good to show their disgust in front of Mu Yun, so they nodded rather awkwardly.

Mu Yun knew that they hadn't completely accepted each other. Those words from before were just a joke. Now that she saw their awkward expressions, she couldn't help but find it funny.

She shook her head and turned back to her work, leaving Ziggy and Lin Jinyan staring at each other.

Ji Ge had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he invited Lin Jinyan to drink with him.

Lin Jinyan readily accepted it. After the two of them drank three cups of wine in the restaurant, their relationship had become a lot closer. As they talked, they could not help but have private matters to discuss.

As long as they drank wine together and endured the hardships together, they would be able to give up their brotherhood. They don't have as many misgivings and suspicions as women, and even if someone betrayed them, they would only let out a long sigh and make new friends.

Through Lin Jinyan's mouth, Ji Ge found out more about Mu Yun. While he was grateful that Lin Jinyan trusted him so much, he was also thankful for everything Lin Jinyan had done to Mu Yun. Although Lin Jinyan's words did not make it clear that he had helped her, Ji Ge, who had been beaten in the government, was naturally able to hear about his sacrifice.

He had completely acknowledged Lin Jinyan as his brother-in-law, and he said with a smile:

"Brother-in-law, let me toast you."

Lin Jinyan was surprised to hear him call her by that name, but she still replied with a smile and drank the wine in her cup.

When Mu Yun was about to close the door, they were already supporting each other as they drunk and spoke good words to each other.

Mu Yun couldn't help but shake her head as she pulled the two drunkards into the carriage.

It was probably because Lin Jinyan hunted a lot and had gotten used to injuries. Her body's self-healing ability was very strong, but after a day and a night, Lin Jinyan's arm was as nimble as it was before she was injured.

Although he repeatedly guaranteed that he wouldn't get hurt, Mu Yun still didn't feel at ease. She only wanted him to hunt some prey in the morning and then go to her shop to rest after selling them at noon.

Lin Jinyan saw that he couldn't beat Mu Yun, so he could only agree.

His heart was very sweet, because Mu Yun cared for him so much.

However, this good mood disappeared when he arrived at Mu Yun's shop at noon.

They saw that there was a commotion at the entrance of the shop, and a group of people pointed at Mu Yun and said that she was in the wrong. In the middle of the crowd, there was a woman who had fallen to the ground. She cried loudly, as if Mu Yun had done something unforgivable to her.

He didn't rush in to protect Mu Yun, but walked to the delivery boy who stood blankly at the entrance and asked him in a low voice what had happened.

When the delivery boy heard the sound, he was first shocked, and then, seeing that it was the boss' husband, he immediately told him the whole story.

So it turned out that the woman sitting on the floor was a maid from an unknown family. In the morning, he went to the store to buy the taste of the brine, but he was very picky. Sometimes he said that the meat was too fat, and sometimes he said that the skin was too thick.

Mu Yun had patiently explained to her all along, explaining the skill and nutritional value of eating the taste of the salt. The maid took a big bag in the end but didn't give any money. She turned around and ran. Mu Yun was stunned for a moment before she stood up to give chase. However, the maid suddenly fell to the ground and broke her knee.

She turned around and scolded Mu Yun, saying that Mu Yun had pushed her away, causing her to be injured in the knee. She had only accidentally forgotten to give money, while Mu Yun had been so vicious and so on. As she cried, she threw the silver taels on Mu Yun's face.

When the surrounding people heard this, they all recalled how they were chased by the merchants for forgetting to pay the money in the past. They all felt the same way and felt that this was all Mu Yun's fault.

When Lin Jinyan heard this, she felt sorry for him. However, she didn't do it impulsively. Instead, she thought of a solution.

After living with Mu Yun for so long, he gradually understood that martial arts could not solve everything.

As for Mu Yun, after being smashed in the face with silver, her face was covered in small wounds. At this moment, she still had to face the criticism of the crowd.

If it was any other girl, they would have cried and explained that they didn't do that. However, Mu Yun was different. She stood on the spot and coldly looked at the crying servant girl.

The maidservant saw that her eyes were sharp and her tears were scared away, but she still remembered her duty and pretended that she was still crying.

Lin Jinyan looked at the ground full of brine, then looked at the silver taels on the ground, and came up with a plan. He first discussed it with the delivery boy, and after confirming that he could deal with him, he quietly walked into the crowd and said,

"Aiya, this girl doesn't seem to have enough money with her."

"Since you brought so much money, you still have to pick out two more hours. To put it nicely, you should be meticulous. If you don't like it, you should pick the bones out of the chicken, right?" the clerk shouted, not waiting for the crowd to stir.

At this time, she couldn't grasp whether or not Mu Yun had pushed the servant girl away. In this kind of situation, no matter what Mu Yun said, the servant girl would reveal everything and make everyone think that she was shirking her responsibilities and despise her even more.

Mu Yun also knew that at this moment, she had to let people know that this girl had evil intentions.

"Don't say any more excuses. But when you came here, you didn't say anything and only picked up the food, the people who were lining up behind you to sell the flavor were all grinded away by your grindstone. The one who is standing in the middle of the crowd right now, you must have been waiting behind her for at least fifteen minutes, do you think she was buying things, or finding fault? "

That person suddenly became the focus of everyone. He was a bit nervous, but his reaction was very quick.

"I waited a quarter of an hour for an extra cup of tea. This girl didn't seem to be a brine seller, and didn't seem to understand what was going on with the brine at all. She even said that the color of the meat was wrong. "Hehe, how can something made from red halogen not be a little red in color?"

At this moment, the direction of the wind had changed.

The servant girl said in a stern voice:

"You're with this woman, they bribed you!"

Mu Yun had also committed this mistake before, so she was very careful when she dealt with her problems. The reason why she delayed for so long was because she was thinking of all sorts of ways to deal with the risks. She just didn't expect Lin Jinyan to help her before she made a decision.

When the person buying the brine heard this, he coldly snorted:

"I believed you, too. "But little girl, you doubt the character of others the moment you say it. It's really hard to believe." The man shook his head and turned away, not intending to participate in the matter any longer. "Who am I? Everyone in this town knows. If you question me like this, I suspect that you have some ulterior motive."

When these words were spoken, everyone looked at the servant girl coldly.

"I... I am not... "I have just arrived at the town and am a servant girl from the Chen residence. It is my fault that I did not recognize you …"

The moment she heard what the man said, she was scared witless. She was just a young maid. If she offended someone of importance, a single beating would be considered light. If there were others involved, she would probably be kicked out.

Although the Chen Clan wasn't as wealthy as they were, they were still extremely well-off. She couldn't bear to part with the Chen Clan's benefits, so she wanted to ask for that person's forgiveness.

However, that person had already walked far away and completely ignored her.

"The Chen Mansion's maidservants …" Mu Yun pondered.

Knowing who the enemy was, she had a way to deal with it. Lin Jinyan naturally told everything he knew about Mu Yun. Although Mu Yun had never seen Chen Mo, from Lin Jinyan's impatient expression, she knew that this woman was more troublesome than Yan Wu.

Besides, this woman was smarter than Yan Wu. She knew how to use Yan Wu, and she also knew that if she wanted to marry into the Lin Family, she would need Lin Jinyan's heart, so she put in a lot of effort on Lin Jinyan.

This incident didn't seem like what she was thinking. She and Yan Wu had conspired together.

"To think that Miss Chen would think of such a method to deal with me, that's really a good plan."

"It's not my young lady's idea, it's that …"

The young maid, who was trapped in a pool of bitterness due to offending others, suddenly heard Mu Yun's disdainful exclamation and subconsciously retorted. Halfway through her words, she realized that she had leaked something. Originally, when she was about to leave, Yan Wu had repeatedly emphasized that the power of Mu Yun's words told her not to argue with her.

In the end, she was careless and fell for it.

The crowd was already booing. Even if this wasn't what Miss Chen thought, the one who came to execute this plan was Miss Chen's servant girl. Who wouldn't know how tricky this plan was?

In their hearts, they were thinking of the gentle and virtuous appearance of the Chen Clan's young miss. They didn't expect that she would secretly plot against others.

No one listened to the young maid's explanation. They all shouted for her to be escorted to the government office.

Ji Ge was just about to visit Mu Yun, but seeing this chaos, he personally captured the person.

Lin Jinyan walked out from the crowd. Mu Yun smiled and held his hand.

"You've truly improved. You're injured, yet you still dare to come and save me." There was no blame in Mu Yun's tone.

He smiled and said:

"You're just playing with words. You're not as sharp tongued as me."

Mu Yun was pinched on her nose as if to prove what he said. She opened her mouth and bit the two fingers and ground them with her canine teeth.

Lin Jinyan felt her soft tongue and her eyes darkened.

She stepped away and winked at him mischievously.

He did not give chase. Instead, he stood on the spot and silently said:

I'll deal with you tonight!
