The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife Chapter 336

336 Clarification

“Of course,” Madam Qin replied subconsciously.

She was still holding the medicinal herbs that Doctor Sun had given her.

The things scattered around the carriage were piled into a pile. Fang Tianliu could only sigh. “Madam Qin, didn't you have to make chicken soup? You can go to the kitchen first, I'll help you carry the things at the door.”

“There's no need to do that…”

“Don't worry.”

Zhao Zhan and Yue Jiaojiao didn't treat Madam Qin as a servant, so Fang Tianliu naturally didn't want to either.

“She's stronger than ordinary people. The things that she thinks are light may not be as easy in the hands of others. Will you be able to carry that many things? Jiaojiao still needs you to take care of her.”

His last sentence stabbed Madam Qin's heart.

Jiaojiao was now pregnant. She could not have any more accidents and cause more trouble for her lady.

“I suppose I'll have to trouble you… I'll add two more dishes that you like to eat tonight.”

Fang Tianliu smiled.

“Alright.”

Madam Qin carried the medicinal herbs to the back kitchen while Fang Tianliu slowly moved to the side of the carriage.

There were four single-layered boxes and two pieces of cloth wrapped around it. In addition to these, there was also a four-layered food box.

Fang Tianliu stacked the boxes together.

The red seal printed on it was now clear.

Hongyan Pavilion.

Fang Tianliu's brows furrowed. “Isn't this the famous shop that sells rouge and face powder in Jiangnan?”

He then looked at the food box next to him.

Wan Xiangzhai.

It was also a famous pastry shop in Jiangnan.

In the past, when his father was on his way back to Huai County, he would always bring some items back for his wife whenever he passed by Jiangnan.

However, many of the pastries in Wan Xiangzhai were not easy to store.

Therefore, the only things he could bring back were butterfly crisps and sweet moon honey, which had a longer shelf life.

Fang Tianliu's mind was in a mess. He held everything in his arms, then picked up the food boxes with his fingers and carried them to the backyard.

“I've moved the things in. Where should I put them?”

Yue Jiaojiao was not surprised at all. She turned to look at Li Xiangjun and thanked him, “You've worked hard. You can put the things under the pavilion first. Zhao Zhan is resting inside, I'll let him know later.”

Li Xiangjun pretended not to see him. “Is Zhao Zhan not feeling well?”

“He's fine. The both of them actually just got home today. It was supposed to take a month and a half to get back, but they didn't rest on the way and took turns to rush back. They got home in twenty days.”

As Yue Jiaojiao said this, she looked at Fang Tianliu. “You must be exhausted, why don't you rest for a while?”

“I was a little tired at first, but after the bath, I became more refreshed and sobered up,” Fang Tianliu said, unable to hide the fatigue on his face. “Besides, Zhao Zhan has been driving the carriage these two days, I'm still fine.”

His gaze landed uncontrollably on Li Xiangjun. He stood rooted to the ground and had no intention of leaving the backyard.

Yue Jiaojiao looked left and right, then lowered her head and took a sip of water to conceal her feelings.

“You're pretty rude, Miss Li,” Fang Tianliu said coldly. “Don't you know how to thank someone for helping you?”

Li Xiangjun lowered her head and looked at the table. “Thank you.” Her attitude was just as cold as his. Her entire demeanor was exuding a message to not be disturbed.

Fang Tianliu felt a suffocating feeling in his chest, and he wanted to vomit blood, but he couldn't find an outlet to release it.

Li Xiangjun felt as if a hole was going to be burned in her. She raised her voice and said, “By the way, this is the backyard. Zhao Zhan is still resting in his room. As an outsider, you shouldn't be standing around here.”

“Me? An outsider?”

Fang Tianliu pointed at himself.

His chest heaved up and down as he strode forward and grabbed Li Xiangjun's wrist. “It's not appropriate for an outsider like me to stay here. It's also not appropriate for an outsider like you to stay here. Even if Zhao Zhan is still resting, you can't just ignore him, right?”

He was full of vigor.

Li Xiangjun kept struggling. “Don't talk nonsense here. There's no such thing as a maternal daughter.”

“Just!” Fang Tianliu's fingers pressed down on Li Xiangjun's sleeve. “Listen to me!”

Seeing this, Yue Jiaojiao slowly got up and moved away from the pavilion.

“I suddenly remembered that I forgot to take something from the kitchen. I'll go and take a look first.”

The moment she left.

Li Xiangjun's arm swung down forcefully, then she grabbed her wrist and rubbed it. She glared at Fang Tianliu angrily. “What are you doing?”

Although she was strong, she was still a woman.

There was a deep red mark on her wrist due to the struggle just now.

Fang Tianliu's expression changed, and he stood opposite her, reaching out his hand. “Come with me, please. I have something to tell you.”

Li Xiangjun looked at his palm in a daze.

Fang Tianliu used to live a carefree life, and even a man like him was raised to be soft and tender.

Now, there was a centipede-shaped scar that almost ran through his entire palm. His knuckles had become thicker than before, and even the pads of his fingers had become flat and rough.

It was obvious that he had been injured recently.

He had also done a lot of heavy work while traveling.

Li Xiangjun subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at his face.

It was as dark as dirt, but one could still see the wound on his forehead.

The wound was a little red, but fortunately, it wasn't deep. If it heals well, it shouldn't leave a scar.

Her eyes suddenly softened.

Fang Tianliu felt as if his heart had been hit hard, and then a big hand clenched it tightly, making it extremely sore.

“Come with me.”

He hurriedly turned his eyes away and grabbed Li Xiangjun's wrist, dragging her out of the corner door.

Li Xiangjun didn't struggle and was taken out by him.

They were not far from the foot of the mountain after leaving.

Fang Tianliu walked quickly, from the foot of the mountain to the small path that led up.

The forest was getting denser, even the light had become dim.

Li Xiangjun came back to her senses the deeper they went in. She didn't use any strength in her arms, and as long as she didn't move, Fang Tianliu couldn't pull her anymore.

Fang Tianliu tried two more times but failed.

“Alright.” Li Xiangjun scanned her surroundings. “Just say whatever you want to say now that we're here. I'm afraid Jiaojiao will be worried if I'm gone for too long.”

Her tone was light.

Fang Tianliu felt that this was even more heart-wrenching than her anger just now.

“Xiangjun.”

“Mister Fang.” Li Xiangjun took a deep breath and looked up. “You should address me as Miss Li.”

Fang Tianliu's eyes instantly turned red.

Even though he had been busy for the past few months, busy numbing himself from the pain, he endured it.

Even if he thought that he no longer cared about the truth of the past, he still endured everything.

However, he had not heard her reject him up front back then, and there had always been a glimmer of hope in his heart because of that.

“Miss Li.”

Fang Tianliu looked at her stubbornly and tried to open his mouth a few times before he could speak smoothly. “Don't worry, I just did it out of habit. I like to be clear about everything, including you. I brought you here today to ask you the reason for treating me like that.”

The sky instantly darkened.
