CHAPTER 110: CHAPTER 110 WANT TO SEE HER EMBARRASSED (1)

After sending their servant back to the house, Li Xing’an asked about the consultation fee again.

Li Yuzhu reached out her hand, showing a small ingot, "Here, five taels."

"Only five taels? Miss Chai is being stingy. Back at the Prince Mansion..."

"What’s the Prince Mansion? How can Miss Chai compare to it? She’s a girl without parents." In the Prince Mansion, even an Imperial Physician’s tip starts at twenty taels.

"That’s true." Li Xing’an shook his head.

"But she said if I accompany her to the Chai Family Mansion in the countryside the day after tomorrow, she’ll give me another five taels." Li Yuzhu added.

Li Xing’an didn’t understand, "What’s that about? Third sister?"

"Miss Chai wants to go home, but she’s worried about fainting again." Li Yuzhu explained Miss Chai’s request to Li Xing’an.

"So demanding!" Li Xing’an snorted lightly.

"For five taels of silver, I’ll make the trip, plus get free food and drink." Li Yuzhu smiled brightly.

"I’ll go with you. You’re young, don’t let anyone bully you."

"Alright then." Such a tagalong third brother!

They returned to the newly built house at the foot of Niu Tou Mountain.

The Great Princess eagerly ran up to them as they came back, "Li Yuzhu, how much consultation fee did Miss Chai give you?"

The Second Princess also looked at her with anticipation.

"Five taels." Li Yuzhu replied.

"What? So little?" The Great Princess widened her eyes, "Third brother, why didn’t you help get more?"

Li Xing’an was displeased, "If you ask, do you think they’d just give it? Wishful thinking!"

"If I went, I’d definitely get more!" The Great Princess snorted lightly.

"The day after tomorrow, Miss Chai wants me to accompany her to the Chai Family’s old house, and she’ll give me another five taels." Li Yuzhu added.

The Great Princess raised her eyebrows, "That’s more like it." She thought of something, "Oh right, tomorrow’s a small market day, shall we go to the market again?"

"There’s nothing we need to buy at home, so no!" Li Yuzhu shook her head.

On the big market day at the beginning of March, they had bought a cart full of goods, plenty to eat and use, why go to the market?

Because of dealing with Miss Chai, the herb gathering was delayed, there weren’t many herbs in the space, and they were cheap ones, not worth much.

Li Yuzhu planned to wait and sell more later.

"Go get some food, there’s no meat or buns at home." The Second Princess’s eyes lit up as she squeezed over and said.

"Second sister, all you think about is eating. You should lose weight!" Li Xing’an pointed at her chin, "It’s already three layers, don’t let it become four."

"No, it’s obviously only two layers." The Second Princess touched her chin with a face full of grievance.

"Where are Father and Big Brother? I have to tell them about going to the Chai Family the day after tomorrow." Li Yuzhu walked down the cart and stepped into the new courtyard gate.

Her foot no longer hurt, but she still didn’t dare to walk too hard.

Li Xing’an quickly ran over to support her, "Take it easy, third sister!"

"Third brother is just Li Yuzhu’s tagalong! Hmph!" The Great Princess rolled her eyes at them and went back to digging herbs.

"That’s because third sister’s foot is injured, big sister." The Second Princess retorted.

The Great Princess walked into the grass, and the Second Princess followed.

After digging two shovels, the Great Princess’s eyes twinkled, "Second sister, Li Yuzhu doesn’t want to go to the countryside, how about we two go tomorrow?"

The Second Princess waved her hand repeatedly, "I can’t bargain with people, I’m afraid to go."

"Useless!" The Great Princess glared at her.

"Big sister, can you bargain?" The Second Princess asked with wide eyes.

"I... I, of course, I can!" The Great Princess tilted her chin.

The Second Princess clapped with a smile, "That’s great, let’s go to the market to sell herbs tomorrow?"

The Great Princess, "..." Was this chubby one setting her up? "No! Just the two of us is no fun."

In the new courtyard, Li Yuzhu told Prince Luling about Miss Chai’s request.

Prince Luling nodded, "Go ahead, let your third brother go with you."

The Second Young Master ran over, "Father, why is it always the third brother going with third sister? This time it’s my turn!"

"Your strength is greater than the third’s, we can’t do without you here!" Prince Luling pointed at Liu the bricklayer, "Old Liu said your wall tamping is the best, if you leave, who will tamp these two walls? They’re about to be finished, don’t slack off!"

Though reprimanded, it seemed like he was also praised?

The Second Young Master proudly shook his sleeves, "See, third brother, my house-building skills are the best, you, huh, are behind me."

"Really? Haha, quite capable, huh?" Li Xing’an scoffed coldly.

"Alright, stop arguing, it’s settled." Prince Luling made his decision.

...

The siblings returned to the mountain.

In front of the cave, the Princess Consort Luling was playing with the children, while the Xue Family was cooking.

The Xue Family seemed to be in a bad mood, chopping cabbage with a clatter.

"Sister-in-law, be careful not to cut your hand chopping like that." Li Yuzhu reminded her.

Xue Family glared at her without good humor.

Li Xing’an parked the small cart and went to look at the chicks with his little nephew Li Jing.

Li Yuzhu washed her hands and went to pick up Guoguo.

She told the Princess Consort Luling about going to the Chai Family the day after tomorrow.

"Third brother will come with me." Li Yuzhu said.

"As long as someone accompanies you, I’m at ease." The Princess Consort Luling nodded.

"I’ll bring you something tasty, Guoguo." Li Yuzhu tapped her little niece’s face.

Guoguo laughed happily, holding onto a lock of her hair tightly.

Li Yuzhu laughed, "Don’t pull, don’t pull, little auntie gets hurt."

Guoguo continued to pull, finally opening her little hand to show Li Yuzhu.

Li Yuzhu was stunned.

Oh my, she pulled off a dry cocklebur.

When did it get caught in her hair?

"It’s prickly, don’t play with it." Li Yuzhu picked it up and threw it away.

Guoguo didn’t cry, instead, she threw herself onto her shoulder, hugging her neck.

Seeing the two of them being so close, Xue Family was so jealous that she rolled her eyes.

She put down the knife and said, "Third sister, are you going to the market tomorrow?"

Another person asking.

Li Yuzhu shook her head, "Not going tomorrow, there’s nothing to buy."

"If you’re not going, I will. Where did you put the herbs we dug up? I’ll take them to sell." Xue Family said again.

She always suspected that Li Yuzhu and her sisters would pocket the herb money, claiming they sold for 800 wen when they actually sold for 1,000 wen.

If so, she’d be losing out?

No way, she had to watch over it herself.

Li Yuzhu blinked, "Sister-in-law, the herbs were only dug up a few days ago, they haven’t dried yet, how do you sell them wet?"

Actually, her space had already automatically dried the herbs, but there weren’t enough of them, not worth the trouble of a market trip.

With that time, they could get more done at home.

Xue Family was taken aback, how did she forget about that?

Disappointed.

Then, Xue Family suddenly thought of something, "Third sister, since you’re going with Miss Chai to a wedding banquet, you’ll need new clothes, where are your new clothes?"

This girl runs around all day, never seen her with needle and thread, most likely the clothes aren’t ready.

Xue Family wanted to see her make a fool of herself.
