The Rough Hunter's Little Lucky Wife Chapter 337

337 Post

Li Xiangjun looked up at the sky.

Even the air started to become moist.

Fang Tianliu's eyes were locked on her face.

“If you really have something…”

“I didn't.”

Li Xiangjun interrupted him.

“You're thinking too much. There's no misunderstanding between us, and I don't have any difficulties. Why are you still pestering me?”

“I understand,” Fang Tianliu laughed bitterly. “I still have a question. Why are the things you brought here today all famous items from Jiangnan?”

“Although the business of the Hundred Flavors Restaurant has already reached Jiangnan, with your salary, you shouldn't be able to afford these things, right?” Fang Tianliu placed his hands behind his back and took a step closer to Li Xiangjun. “With Manager Li's personality, he doesn't look like someone who would be able to afford such things.”

“How dare you! Are you implying that I took the money from the shop into my own pocket?

“If you feel that there's something fishy about this, you can go to the shop to check the accounts. If there's any problem with the account books, I can compensate you with ten times the amount of silver!

“The shop belongs to Zhao Zhan and his wife. I would never interfere in such things.”

“You don't look like you're in need of money. Miss Li, could you take me to the Li family?

“To tell you the truth, I gave your father a jade pendant before we were engaged. That jade pendant is from the Beauty Pavilion in Jiangnan. It's an heirloom of the Fang family. I'd like to go to the Li family to find Manager Li and get it back.”

“A jade pendant?”

Li Xiangjun was confused.

She had never heard her father mention that Fang Tianliu had given her a jade pendant.

However, the Li family of Wangshan Town had long ceased to exist.

“It's not very convenient for our family to do that right now.” Li Xiangjun's eyes were evasive. “I can, however, promise you that I will go back and ask my father about it. I will send the jade pendant here.”

“You won't be leaving Willow Village soon, will you? I would not want to bother you with such things, Miss Li.” Fang Tianliu was polite and distant. “I'd better go and get it myself. I'll go directly from Wangshan to Huai County and go all the way to Jiangnan to get it.”

“You're going to Jiangnan?”

It was the shock that caused Li Xiangjun's voice to become sharp. “Why do you want to go to Jiangnan for no reason?”

“Miss Li, your words are too overbearing. Why can't I go to Jiangnan for no reason? I'm very envious of the things you bought, so I'd like to take a look as well.”

Fang Tianliu suddenly felt that the Li Xiangjun in front of him was very unfamiliar.

In the past, her eyes were full of sincerity and enthusiasm, and in her everyday life, she was so eager and cheerful as if she did not know fatigue.

But now… He could not read her.

“I want to take back what belongs to me. Is it a difficult task for you, Miss Li?”

The Fang family had sent many things to the Li family.

He had also given Li Xiangjun quite a few things personally.

He didn't want anything else back, except for the jade pendant.

He was the only one left in the Fang family, so he could not give that up.

“It's not a problem. It's yours anyway. I won't take it.” Li Xiangjun wanted to explain herself further. “In fact, I can go back and ask my father now. I'll definitely give it to you tomorrow at the earliest.”

If she dodged the question and wanted to leave but…

Fang Tianliu became even more suspicious. “I'll go to town with you. I won't enter your house. I'll just just wait outside for you to bring the things out.”

The Li family's move to Huai County was not hidden from Yue Jiaojiao.

Li Xiangjun thought of this and told him the truth.

“We have already moved to Huai County. We have already sold our last home in town.

“Don't worry, when we left, we moved everything we could. Your jade pendant must have been precious. According to my father's personality, he wouldn't leave it behind.”

“So were you avoiding me just now because you were afraid that I would find out where you lived in Huai County?”

Li Xiangjun shook her head in denial.

“No, I just…”

“Just what?”

“Forget it. If you want, you can wait for me in the shop. I'll ask my father for the jade pendant and return it to you in one piece.”

Fang Tianliu's eyes were sizing her up.

“Alright, then we can leave now.”

“Aren't you going to tell Jiaojiao?”

Fang Tianliu had already stepped back and gestured for Li Xiangjun to go down the mountain. “Have you forgotten that your carriage is still at the entrance? If we leave, we can't hide it from her. It's getting late, I still want to rush back today. Could you hurry up?”

He was urging her from behind.

Li Xiangjun had no choice but to walk down the mountain along the path they had taken.

“You go in first, I'll drive the horse.”

Fang Tianliu stood beside the carriage and lifted the curtain, signaling for Li Xiangjun to enter first.

Li Xiangjun bent down and got into the cart.

Li Xiangjun took the opportunity to look at Fang Tianliu deeply as he lowered the curtain.

The arrogant young man in the past had become more steady and firm now.

He had grown a lot.

“Are you seated?” Fang Tianliu sat on the shaft of the carriage and warned them through the curtain.

“Yes, let's go.”

Fang Tianliu whipped his horse, and the two of them headed straight for Huai County.

Madam Qin, who was in the kitchen in the front yard, heard the commotion and immediately ran to the backyard. “Why did it seem like Mister Fang and Miss Li left just now? I've already prepared dinner for them.”

“Did they leave together?” Yue Jiaojiao curiously asked.

“It looks like it. He was the one driving the carriage. However, from what I can see, he looked pretty hostile when he was with Miss Li. What do you think? Is it really that difficult to talk about what happened between them?”

“Who knows?”

Madam Qin thought of the things that Li Xiangjun had sent over today. “Miss Li came today, but she hasn't said why she's here. It looks like it's going to rain soon. I'll keep these things in the empty room next door.”

Now that Fang Tianliu and Li Xiangjun had left, Madam Qin did not need to be in such a hurry to make dinner.

She bent down to tidy up the things piled under the pavilion.

Her hands were weak and she only managed to grab the lid of the box.

The box fell to the ground.

The things inside fell to the ground.

Yue Jiaojiao looked at the thing on the ground. “What's this?”

“My lady, don't bend over. Let me do it.”

Madam Qin hurriedly put the lid aside and picked up the things on the ground.

“This… Is this a wedding invitation?”

Madam Qin was shocked. She quickly opened the invitation and handed it to Yue Jiaojiao. “take a look. Who is Xiangjun going to marry?”

Yue Jiaojiao took the invitation and looked at it carefully. “Lin… Lin Qingzhao?”

“Who is this? I've never heard of him before. He has never had any contact with our workshop. I don't think Xiangjun knows him because of business.” Yue Jiaojiao carefully read the contents of the invitation. “Could it be that Manager Li asked a matchmaker to find him?”

“Do you think Mister Fang would be heartbroken if he knew that Miss Li would be married in seven days?”
