The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 483 - 483 483 Something Really Happened

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Something Really Happened Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Something Really Happened Six felt his heart skip a beat and quickly knelt down.

“Leader, how dare I ever entertain such ideas? You’re wise and valiant, a favourite in Master’s eyes. Even if I borrowed a hundred times more courage, I wouldn’t dare to disrespect you,” he stammered.

While uttering these sycophantic words, he mentally berated Ten over and over again.

All of this was Ten’s fault — that good-for-nothing had disrupted his plans. If not for him, the leader would’ve had him on guard duty by now. He would’ve been the first to catch that girl and win her over.

At that point, he would’ve been the first to secure her. He just needed an unwatched moment to get things done with her, and then she would be his forever.

Once she became a trusted aide by the leader’s side, wouldn’t he benefit too?

But look at the situation now, everything was ruined!

“Leader, it seems like Six is planning to make a scene with that girl, and ride on her coattails to advance in the Master’s eyes,” Ten sneered, glancing coldly at Six, trying to tip-off the leader.

Anyone could tell what Six was up to — he had even made untoward remarks in front of him.

Just from that look in his eyes, it was clear he wished the girl was his and his alone!

“You… Ten, stop spouting nonsense. I’ve never thought of things like that. If anyone’s trying to get involved with that girl, it’s you, isn’t it?!” Six, now red in the face, pointed at Ten and began shouting when his intentions were laid bare.

“Enough!”

When the leader saw Six’s reaction, he knew that Ten was right.

“Six, you’ve committed such a grave error. Go stay in the punishment hut, and don’t come out without my orders!”

“What?!”

The words ‘punishment hut’ stunned Six, and he froze on the spot.

It wasn’t until two men in the same uniform dragged him away that he came to his senses. He started pleading and apologizing to the leader, but pleading only caused the leader to hate him even more. It was no use now.

“Ten, I’m assigning you full responsibility for the matter of the girl. Remember, you must keep a close eye on her!” the leader ordered Ten.

“Yes, Leader.”

Ten acknowledged respectfully.

“I’ll send men to keep watch over the Zeng family and the thousands of acres of good farmland, and there will also be men stationed outside the Elder Princess’ Mansion. We shall ensure the girl won’t slip through our fingers this time.”

“Good, you may go now.”

The leader waved him off.

…

In the inn, the waiter delivered a table full of dishes to the room and then withdrew after ensuring everything was alright.

Just as he closed the door, Lin Caisang came out.

“The food is here, and it smells so good.”

She patted her belly and laughingly examined all the dishes, only to find that Ya Molian was the only one present. She knitted her brows.

“Have Zhe Jue and Zhong You not returned? They have been gone for quite a while.”

Zhong You’s home isn’t far from Qianlin County. They should have been back yesterday. Why are they still not back? Could something have happened?

“Let’s eat first. With Zhe Jue there, they should be fine.” Ya Molian guided her to sit, added some dishes to her bowl, and then spoke.

“Let’s hope nothing goes wrong.”

Lin Caisang muttered before starting to eat.

As it turns out, something did happen. She and Ya Molian waited in the inn until dusk when Zhong You returned with Zhe Jue. The expression on Zhong You’s face was one of utter exhaustion.
