Chapter 113: Likes Shen Mo?

Jiang Xia fed the vegetables soaked in interspace water to the donkey. She had often fed it when she was in the village, which resulted in it being healthier than most other donkeys.
“My young master, why are you spacing out again? What are you looking at?” Jiang Xia heard Wang Wen’s voice and turned her head to look at him.
“Nothing much. Let’s get going.”
The moment Jiang Xia looked over, Shen Mo quickly turned around and jumped onto the carriage.
His smooth movements earned him an appreciative whistle from Wang Wen.
The donkey cart driven by Xiao Wu led the way, followed by the horse-drawn carriage occupied by Shen Mo and his companions.
Not until the carts started moving did Xiao Wu finally seem to relax and took a long, relieved breath.
“What’s wrong ? Uncle Xiao Wu?” Jiang Xia asked.
Xiao Wu looked at Jiang Xia and asked,” Why is this Young Master Shen with you? He’s even planning to return to the village with us?””
Xiao Wu had been silent since he met Shen Mo, and only now did he voice his confusion.
Jiang Xia laughed and said, “Didn’t I tell Uncle Xiao Wu when you arrived? There might be officials coming for an inspection, to understand our situation.”
Xiao Wu’s eyes widened in surprise, “The person coming for inspection is Young Master Shen?”
He had always heard that Young Master Shen was in the army. How could he care about these matters?
“Well, it seems so! When we went to the Shen family’s house just now, Officer Wang asked if we were free today to go to the fields to take a look. My father wanted to report the situation as soon as possible, so he brought them here.”
Xiao Wu felt as if he was listening to a book from heaven. He had thought that Jiang Chuan and the others were already very impressive to be able to interact with the people in town. He did not expect them to actually talk to the Shen family.
“Uncle Xiao Wu, why are you so quiet? You’re not scared of them, are you?” Jiang Xia asked suspiciously.
Although Jiang Xia asked this question, she felt that it was impossible. Shen Mo came to help them report the situation. He was doing good deeds, so what was there to be afraid of? But Xiao Wu’s reaction was completely different from what she had anticipated.
“How could I not be afraid?! He’s a soldier! I’ve heard that Young Master Shen joined the army at a young age. Many people rumored that he only became famous due to his family’s connections. But after a few battles, no one said that anymore. Young Master Shen earned all his merit in real fight.”
Jiang Xia didn’t know much about Shen Mo. It was only after hearing Xiao Wu’s words that she had a rough impression of him.
Turning her head, she saw Shen Mo talking to a man carrying a bag by his side. The man had a serious expression on his face, occasionally frowning as if he heard something unpleasant.
“Sister, you’re watching him again,” Jiang Gu suddenly blurted, startling Jiang Xia.
“I’m not!” Jiang Xia hastily denied.
“Sister, you’re lying. I clearly saw you looking at him many times today, and you still won’t admit it. Mother says lying is not good, Sister is a bad girl!” An annoyed Jiang Gu insisted when Jiang Xia continued to deny.
Hearing Jiang Gu’s words, both Jiang Chuan and Zhou Lan turned their heads to looked over. Even the short man turned his head.
Jiang Xia wished she could hide in a crack in the ground, ideally taking Jiang Gu with her.
Gently knocking on Jiang Gu’s forehead, Jiang Xia issued a veiled warning, “Xiao Gu, you must be mistaken. I was just looking at Uncle Wang. Don’t say things carelessly, okay?”
Upon hearing her sister’s words, Jiang Gu huffed and turned her head away.
Although Jiang Gu stopped talking, her previous words had already been heard by the others.
At this moment, Zhou Lan was looking at Jiang Xia, her eyes full of gossip. Jiang Chuan furrowed his brow, looking in the direction of Shen Mo, while the short man seemed to understand everything.
He had seen too many girls infatuated with Young Master Shen, so he didn’t find it surprising that Jiang Xia might like Shen Mo.
Jiang Xia clenched her teeth in frustration. Indeed, she had looked at Shen Mo a few more times, but it was just an admiration for his beauty, mixed with curiosity about him as a person. Nothing like they assumed that she was interested in him.
Sighing, Jiang Xia pulled Jiang Gu into her arms and began to pinch her cheeks.
It was all this little girl’s fault. If she hadn’t said those things, none of these things would have happened.
Jiang Xia took out her displeasure on her hands, pinching Jiang Gu’s little face into various expressions.
The more she pinched, the more reluctant she was to let go. Jiang Gu had gained quite a bit of weight under Zhou Lan’s care recently, and her skin had improved a lot, making it feel so good to touch..
