"Is Grandfather hungry? I've prepared everything and warmed up the wine." said Zhang Hui.

  Zhang Ye wasn't hungry, but could only nod his head, "Alright then, if you're not tired, keep me company for a bit."

  As expected, Zhang Hui was delighted after saying so and started bustling around.

  It was getting late and it was time to rest, but Zhang Hui was still busy running around.

  She prepared a super large wooden bucket and planned to give Zhang Ye a bucket of warm water for bathing.

  He and the beautiful lady, Yan Xiang, were different. Yan Xiang was used to luxury and purity, whereas Zhang Ye's rugged and weathered aura made her catch a cold. Moreover, Zhang Hui liked that pure and refined Zhang Ye.

  So she compulsively boiled a large wooden bucket of water.

  Zhang Hui was busy running in and out, after a while, she even tripped and fell, and got her head bandaged.

  Zhang Ye quietly watched, feeling that these were exactly Zhang Hui's charm. All her charm came from being ordinary and down-to-earth. There was no luxury, no extravagance, and no otherworldly flavor.

  I was forced to take a warm bath, and on top of that, Zhang Hui dragged me over and completely cleaned off those whiskers with a wintry flavor.

  The fatigue of the journey, everything was drowned in Zhang Hui's ordinary warm water.

  I slept soundly tonight.

  The next day didn't want to get up and go find Yan Xiang to report, kept hiding under the quilt and not coming out, wanting to lock in the warmth of last night.

  Zhang Hui was like a little hen, starting from early morning, coming and going several times to "report" at Zhang Ye's door.

  Every time he says: "Dad, it's time to go to work."

  Ke Zhang didn't want to bother with her at night and also didn't want to go bother Yan Jing, so she hid under the covers and wouldn't come out.

  The time for reporting has passed.

  "This is the sixth time she's come, and she's walking outside saying: 'Sir, you really are on strike, aren't you? The city lord's mansion has sent people to urge you several times already, saying there's something waiting for you to discuss. It's not easy to get a job as good as this one, sir should cherish it well.'"

  @#￥。

  Zhang Ye finally managed to get this tireless little busybody out of the room...

  "Alright, you've finally arrived. Do you still have any sense of propriety? Don't think that just because you're powerful, you can disregard other people's feelings entirely."

  When they arrived, a little girl who was walking beside Yan Xiang suddenly jumped out and questioned them.

  Zhang Ye said: "I've worked hard and achieved great things, isn't it reasonable for me to take a day off?"

  "You're a big-headed ghost, look at the good deed you've done. Now Miss is anxious to death." The little maid said, "Miss is very pitiful, since taking over Snow Crystal City, she has been struggling to survive in the cracks, she herself is very hardworking, strict with herself, and enduring humiliation, all for the sake of preserving a bit of independence. And now, what's good about it? Miss's several years of hard work have been ruined by you in one go?"

  "Come on, it can't be that bad, I don't even know what I did?"

  "I'm so worried!" said the little maid, "Don't you know what you're doing? It was Lord Long's idea to send you to Lan Yun Fortress. We won't comment on his motives. But Miss specifically instructed you not to be impulsive and cause trouble. And now look what's happened - you've offended Lan Yun Fortress, and Miss is worried sick about it."

  Zhang Ye turned his head and said, "Lan Yunbao is a whole den of bandits, it's not worth offending them, no need to rush."

  "You... you... You're a blockhead! I'm so fed up with you!" The little girl didn't even know how to explain it.

  "Go away, I'm busy."

  Zhang Ye directly pushed with one hand, and this little kid was pushed around, stumbling in all directions, and then suddenly felt cool.

  "Don't run around, Miss wants to see you." The little maid reminded her sullenly from behind.

  "I know, I know."

  Zhang Ye hastened his pace and arrived at the mountaintop platform in a short while.

  This time Zhang Ye learned his lesson and didn't directly barge in at the entrance of the small courtyard. Instead, he had become a bit more polite and lightly knocked on the door, saying "I'm here."

  "Come in." The voice of Yan Xiang that came out was still very gentle.

  Pushing open the courtyard door, Zhang Ye entered the outer hall and saw Yan Xiang sitting upright in her usual position, examining some daily records that had been sent up from below.

  Her demeanor carried a hint of melancholy, yet she still maintained her usual elegance and serenity.

  She raised her head to glance at Zhang Ye, and Yan Jing asked in a soft voice: "I don't even know what to say to you. You have no discipline or self-control. At the beginning, I said that once the words were spoken, it was like spilled water, no matter how difficult or humiliating it was, I hired you and let you stay. Since you accepted this job, it's equivalent to us reaching an agreement, how can you just throw down your tools and not show up whenever you want?"

  What she said made some sense, so although Zhang Ye was a bully, he also had a bottom line and would still blush when he was in the wrong.

  Lowering his head and muttering something unclear, Zhang Ye also couldn't make it clear what he meant, and thus muddled through.

  The bully was talked down and looked down, Yan Xiang couldn't help but feel a little amused, covering her mouth with her hand to stifle a giggle.

  When Ye lifted her head, Yan Xing quickly recovered her calm and composed demeanor, with a soft and beautiful face.

  Ice beauty is her best description at present.

  "What did you bring me here for?" Zhang Ye didn't hear her next words and couldn't help but ask.

  "What's your attitude? What do you take me for? If I were the lord of the city, I wouldn't even ask you, how dare you ask me? If you treat me as an ordinary person, what are you still doing here? If you rely on force to bully me, then Yan Jing can be killed but not humiliated."

  Yan Xing Road.

  "I was just casually asking, you don't have to think so much about it, do you?" Zhang Ye had a headache.

  Yan Xiang said those words on purpose, and now looking at Zhang Ye's attitude, she secretly found it amusing.

  It was as if Yan Xiang had just met Zhang Ye for the first time, and his strength was so powerful that he would also admit defeat based on reason. This kind of quality, Yan Xiang felt, was still precious.

  "I originally intended to severely punish you. Because you got me into big trouble. It's very difficult for me." Yan Xiang said, "However, since you are thinking of our Snow Crystal City, I have dispelled the idea. I will find a way to take responsibility for these things, but in the future, you cannot be so reckless and impulsive."

  She paused for a moment, and then continued to persuade him: "I attach great importance to promises. Do you remember your original promise? We don't care about the process, only the result. My fields have all been ruined by you. This harvest of herbs will decide whether you stay or leave."

  Zhang thought for a moment and agreed. He had indeed promised her at the beginning. If it didn't work out, he would compensate her for her losses and then resign to take responsibility.

  Thinking of this, Zhang Ye nodded and said: "There is such a thing, I keep my word."

  "This is good." Yan Xiang nodded and said softly, "Sit down and talk."

  Zhang Ye finally sat down obediently in a chair on the side. His subconscious had somewhat surrendered.

  Seems like I've been intimidated by this female city lord who uses both kindness and authority.

  In the past, Zǐ Yī was very much against Little Bird being deceived by women, but for some reason, this time, Zǐ Yī just hid in the Sea of Consciousness to observe, without showing any displeasure or interference.
