Ye Qingyu's beautiful eyes were dazzling and filled with joy. Even her voice was very delicate, like an oriole leaving the valley. It was mellow and pleasant to the ears, making it easy to hear the familiarity and joy in her tone.
Xu Jingnan turned his head and looked down at Ye Qingyu. When he met her bright eyes, confusion flashed across his eyes and he nodded expressionlessly.
Seeing that he had answered but did not ask any questions, Ye Qingyu felt a little relieved. Fortunately, Xu Jingnan was very quiet. Otherwise, her plan would have been difficult to handle.
"Brother Xu, are you very familiar with her?" Butler Wang was stunned for a moment. His eyes darted back and forth between Ye Qingyu and Xu Jingnan.
"Of course! Brother Jingnan lives in the same village as us. We've known each other since we were young. Brother Jingnan's two acres of land are next to my family's land. When he came back from the battlefield and didn't know how to farm, my father and second uncle often helped him."
Ye Qingyu said matter-of-factly, not giving him a chance to question her.
"Brother Jingnan, the autumn harvest is coming in half a month, and our fields are together. Why don't we work together?
"My father and second uncle are both good farmers. They have experience and you have strength. It's best to cooperate like this. What do you think?"
"Mhn." Xu Jingnan looked at Ye Qingyu deeply for a while before nodding in agreement.
Seeing him nod, Ye Qingyu finally felt relieved. The smile on her face became brighter.
"Then it's settled."
"Miss Ye, you're so close to Brother Xu. Why didn't you borrow money from him back then and even made your first younger brother sell himself as a long-term laborer?" Butler Wang asked doubtfully.
"Of course, it's because Brother Jingnan wasn't at home. He went hunting in the mountains. We couldn't find him."
As Ye Qingyu spoke, she looked up at Xu Jingnan anxiously. Seeing him look over, she hurriedly winked at him with an apologetic and pleading expression.
Xu Jingnan silently looked away and felt that this woman's eyes were really beautiful. They were sparkling and were a little seductive.
He couldn't stare for too long!
Ye Qingyu waited nervously for a while. She saw that Xu Jingnan had no intention of refuting her at all. Instead, he looked like he would agree to whatever she said.
This immediately made Ye Qingyu bolder. What she said just now were half-truths. Now, in order to convince Butler Wang that they had a close relationship with Xu Jingnan, she made up some nonsense.
"This time, we were able to come over so quickly to ransom our first younger brother because Brother Jingnan gave our family money when he returned. Brother Jingnan, not only did you save me, but you also saved my first younger brother. Thank you so much!"
Ye Qingyu raised her head and looked at Xu Jingnan with her bright eyes. Her eyes were filled with gratitude and sincerity.
Xu Jingnan heard her ridiculous words. She pushed all the things he didn't do on him and even said it seriously. He couldn't help but lower his head to look at her again.
Ye Qingyu met his scrutinizing eyes, and the apology and pleading in her eyes intensified.
Xu Jingnan stared at her for a moment before looking away and not exposing her.
"Aiyo, Miss Ye, why didn't you say earlier that you were close to Brother Xu? Look at the commotion. There was almost a misunderstanding just now!"
Seeing that Xu Jingnan was silent, Butler Wang thought that what Ye Qingyu said must be true.
