C14 Punishment

Ever since a few days ago, when her daughter had asked for justice in front of everyone and even had the villagers be respectful to her, she had trusted Zhao Yunwan wholeheartedly.

The current Zhao Yunwan already had the style of a wife, and her methods were countless times better than hers!

No matter how urgent the matter was, it was useless. It would be safer to leave it to her.

After that, Zhao Yunwan sent someone to the academy to pass on the message that Zhao Yunchen was taking two days off from work to take a good rest at home.

Since she had already bought a garden in the county, she decided to get a gardener to start redesigning it.

These two days, Ma Chengzhi didn't come back, but there seemed to be rumors outside.

It was not difficult to guess that Zhao Yunchen had been saved by Ma Chengzhi when he fell into the water that day.

When Chun Xiang taught this to Zhao Yunwan, she was so angry that her face turned red.

"Just say that we can't let that brat off so easily!"

"This is good, they've poured all their dirty water onto our 'Xu Family Villa' instead!"

Chun Xiang bit her lips in indignation and rolled up her sleeves again and again. She was waiting for Zhao Yunwan to give the order before she ran off to argue with Ma Chengzhi.

However, Zhao Yunwan calmly looked at the book in her hands. With a slight smile, she said, "Don't worry. What should come will eventually come."

"I have to return what I have promised."

As expected, Ma Chengzhi could no longer sit still. However, it had only been three days, and from time to time, he would 'pass by' around Xu Family Manor.

On this cloudy day, just like Ma Chengzhi's current mood, it was indescribably complicated.

Ma Chengzhi hid in the corner and looked around. After hesitating for a while, he slowly walked forward and walked back and forth.

"I wonder if Zhao Yunwan saw through what happened that day. Why haven't they made any movements even after so many days?"

"Isn't she afraid of being tainted by rumors?"

It wasn't easy to reach this step, how could Ma Chengzhi be willing to give up? It was a pity that he couldn't pull Zhao Yunwan down with him that day!

The light in Ma Chengzhi's eyes gradually dimmed as a trace of maliciousness flashed through his eyes.

"Creak."

The door to the《 Xu Family Manor》 slowly opened, and Mama Zhang walked out while holding her sleeves.

Seeing that Ma Chengzhi was standing behind a pillar under the door, his eyes slightly shifted. With a profound smile, he walked over and bowed towards Ma Chengzhi.

"This old servant pays his respects to Young Master Ma."

Ma Chengzhi was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Greetings, mama."

"I wonder how Yunchen and Young Mistress are doing now?"

Mama Zhang blinked, bowed and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you, Young Master Ma. Young Master and Young Madam are fine now, but it's still inconvenient for you to leave the house. Young Madam ordered me to come and thank you for saving my life that day."

Ma Chengzhi was instantly overjoyed and quickly lowered his head to hide the joy in his eyes.

"There's no need for that. That's something that should be done. After all, Young Madam and I grew up together. How could we possibly sit idly by and do nothing?"

Mama Zhang smiled calmly, "Young Master is too modest. Young Mistress has said to thank Young Master for this. Please accept this gift."

Saying that, he took out two large silver ingots from his sleeve and handed it to Ma Chengzhi.

Ma Chengzhi quickly reached out his hand and refused, "It's just a small matter. How could I dare to accept such a heavy gift?"

"I watched Yunchen grow up, so it's only right for us to save him. Besides, Yunwan and I also …"

Mama Zhang was flabbergasted as she interrupted him, "Young master, don't tell me that you think it's too little?"

Out of the corner of her eyes, Mama Zhang noticed the villagers who were looking in their direction, so she raised her voice.

"That day, when Young Mistress was out with Young Master Chen, if she didn't coincidentally run into Young Master swimming nearby and rushed over to save him, she would have been separated by Yin and Yang already."

"Or could it be that Young Master was angry at the fact that the《 Xu Family Villa》 did not show up in time to express his thanks?"

"Young Mistress has been taking care of Young Master Chen in front of his bed for the past few days, so she was unable to come out to express her gratitude, and neglected her benefactor. It was indeed my 'Xu Family Villa' that lost its manners, so I hope Young Master can forgive me!"

The villagers who were hiding not too far away and watching from behind the rocks all began to whisper to each other when they heard this. Suddenly, the wind changed.

Those who had initially said that Zhao Yunwan was ungrateful all came to a realization and nodded in praise.

After all, after his younger brother suffered this, he was most likely shocked. As an older sister, he was in a mess and it was normal for him to not be able to repay the gratitude.

Ma Chengzhi gritted his teeth, but it wasn't good to show off in front of others, so he could only force a smile and decline again and again.

"This mama is too serious!" This little one doesn't dare! However, Young Mistress and I have always known each other since we were young. It was a simple task to raise our hands, and we really cannot accept such a heavy gift. "

Unexpectedly, Mama Zhang smiled and nodded her head, "That's true, young master has a noble character and a noble character. I don't like him."

"It's just that our Young Mistress abides by the etiquette and knows how to repay the favor. She doesn't dare to disrespect Young Master."

"Fortunately, Young Mistress has long been prepared. She said that if Young Master rejects her offer, Young Master Yang can just do her a favor."

Ma Chengzhi was immediately overjoyed, "Senior, please speak your mind! This little one has to do what I have to do. "

Mama Zhang smiled and took out a roll of paper from her sleeve. She said loudly, "This is the purchase order."

"A few days ago, Young Mistress bought a garden in the county. Right now, she has no time to tidy it up."

"If Young Master does not reject, I shall trouble Young Master to personally purchase these items. Our Xu Family Villa will definitely give you a great gift."

As she said that, Mama Zhang took out another stack of banknotes and handed them over along with the purchase order.

He continued, "This is five hundred taels of silver. You can write down all the items you want to purchase on the list. Young Master can just buy them as you wish."

"It's just some rocks and seeds used for ornamental purposes. It should be very simple for young master, right?"

"In addition, Young Mistress has said that the remaining silver would be used as Young Master's payment. Young Master need not retrieve it."

What!

Ma Chengzhi looked at the bill in his hand in shock. There were only some flowers and stones on the list, there was no need for so much silver!

Could it be … Was this Zhao Yunwan trying to please him?

All of a sudden, Ma Chengzhi was filled with mixed emotions. He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

He originally wanted this, but as he had never seen so much silver before, he hesitated at this moment.

As for the villagers who were eavesdropping on the show, their eyes widened in shock as they gathered in one place and whispered.

On the fields, in the vegetable fields, they were discussing amongst themselves.

Soon, word of this spread like wildfire.

Speaking of which, Ma Chengzhi had saved Young Madame Xu's brother in the river a few days ago. Not only did Young Madame Xu not forget her kindness, she was generous and gave several hundred taels of silver to Ma Chengzhi.

How much silver can it cost to buy some seeds and stones? Wasn't this clearly giving Ma Chengzhi a big advantage?

The villagers were all extremely vexed, and their eyes were filled with jealousy and envy when they looked at Ma Chengzhi.

It had to be known, this amount of money had basically gone into Ma Chengzhi's pocket. It was only a few stones, wouldn't it be the same if he went and picked them up?

If he just bought some seeds, it wouldn't even cost that much silver taels!

He hated himself for not getting such a huge advantage, but Ma Chengzhi, that brat, was actually lucky!

Five hundred silver! Tsk tsk! It was at least enough to feed a middle-class rich family for ten years, let alone a small family like them!

Ma Chengzhi went home nervously. There were five hundred taels of silver hidden inside! He had never seen so much silver in his life!
