Quick Wear: Another day of being criticized for falling in love at first sight

Chapter 769: The Hunter Lady is the Savior of the Powerful Official 30

Xiao Yunzhou used his fingertips as a pen and drew a mark on the place he had searched for several times before finding it. Then he put his ear to the spot and closed his eyes to feel the gentle breathing.

In this house, for the time being, he only accepted her and him. When she saw more of him, perhaps he could let the servants move in...

But anyone who tries to seduce her, get close to her, or even attract her, regardless of their status or relationship, will become part of the mass grave.

Xiao Yunzhou never denied that he was a bad person. After his family was destroyed and his loved ones died, he was doing good things for the country and the people, but his hands were stained with the blood of the enemies.

He finally got such a treasure that made him dream about it. Anyone who wanted to steal it would be his enemy.

When facing the enemy, it is natural to use thundering methods...

She just wanted to live in the new home he built, and only see his bright and beautiful appearance, without seeing the blood and darkness behind him...

The next day, the morning dew was still condensing on the bluestone slabs, and Xiao Yunzhou was already standing on a bench, brushing tung oil on the window frames.

Miaomiao walked over holding the freshly washed sheets and saw that his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and there were even mottled paint spots on his exposed forearms.

Once upon a time, these hands only held brushes and books, but now they can skillfully use various household tools.

"Be careful, the paint smell might choke you."

Xiao Yunzhou turned around, his nose even stained with tung oil. He smiled gently, and the smile in his eyes was about to flow out.

Miaomiao handed him the wet handkerchief, and her fingertips even touched the newly formed calluses on his palm.

That was the result of grinding it while chopping wood after he was by her side.

The sunlight filtered through the newly painted window frames, casting tiny golden specks in his hair, which suddenly reminded her of Xiao Yunzhou, who had fallen on the shallows and looked like he was about to die.

The change is huge. He used to look like a weak and proud young man, but now he looks a bit more down-to-earth, and even his every move has a bit more calmness.

But they were not the only ones at home today. Xiao Yunzhou went out early in the morning to find someone to deliver books. At this time, two men were knocking on the door with book boxes, and someone was installing a plaque at the door. Everything seemed to be going on while Miaomiao was asleep, and Xiao Yunzhou had already started preparing.

"Ling Mansion? Isn't it a bit..."

Miaomiao felt a little embarrassed.

"My sister's surname is Ling, so this is the Ling Mansion."

Xiao Yunzhou put down the brush and looked at Miaomiao, his tone filled with unquestionable tenderness.

"I am my sister's younger brother, and I belong to her too. Naturally, my sister is in charge of this family."

Xiao Yunzhou turned around, and regardless of whether Miaomiao understood what he meant or not, the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.

In the afternoon, most of the adjustments in the courtyard had been completed, only Xiao Yunzhou was still hammering away in his own room for a while.

Miaomiao didn't know that the place where his fingertips had passed had been thinned a lot, and even had a few unintentional holes. The driller was very skilled, and one more hole would have penetrated the wall.

Now, even that thin layer was tugging at him, crumbling, but the sound could finally reach Xiao Yunzhou's ears more clearly through the wall...

In the afternoon, Miaomiao followed Xiao Yunzhou to the study and saw him put a large layout map of the Ping'an Town shops on the big table in the middle. He had drawn it himself.

These days, he followed her through the streets of Ping'an Town and actually memorized the terrain and the locations of the shops.

Miaomiao felt her scalp tingling when she saw this, but she was more filled with admiration.

"Do you really want to buy a shop?"

She looked at the several shops that Xiao Yunzhou had painted with cinnabar, from the rouge shop to the rice shop. It didn't matter what kind of shop it was, the only thing she cared about was the location.

"I just gave my sister a little tip, worried that she would feel insecure. So, money makes money, so she can earn money even when she has a break.

Of course, my money also belongs to my sister, and no one can take it away."

Xiao Yunzhou didn't even raise his head, and his words were a little hoarse. Miaomiao's ears turned red again when she saw him.

The little prince who I used to think was a tsundere boy has now turned into a cute and adorable little brother.

It’s just that my younger brother is a little older, so I still need to be careful when developing a relationship with him.

"You can go ask around at these shops, or I can go with you. If the price is right, there should be a few that would choose to sell.

If my sister can take over three or more of the stores, her income will be several times higher."

Xiao Yunzhou did not tell Miaomiao that he had asked his secret guards to buy five or six of these shops a long time ago. Therefore, even if others did not sell them, he would sell these shops directly to Miaomiao at the most cost-effective price.

For no other reason than to give her money under some pretext, to give her a purse that can make money.

This way, she would feel more at ease being by his side.

If Xiao Yunzhou was 14 years old in this life and had seen fewer people, he would naturally not have realized that the hardworking girl was just forcing herself to be hardworking.

Now that she has been given a lifestyle where she can have fun and make money, she will slowly become immersed in this comfort zone.

The comfort zone he gave her allowed her to slowly focus her life on him. They owned each other until he became powerful and earned her a royal title, allowing her to stand in a high position.

"You stay home, I'll go talk to these stores myself."

Miaomiao knew that Xiao Yunzhou still needed to prepare for the child examination. Although he was said to have passed this test long ago when he was in his previous identity, the current situation was special and he had to try again, so he naturally needed to work harder.

What Miaomiao didn't know was that Xiao Yunzhou was not reading a book at all, but had already started making plans for the future. He was even trying to win over some very capable people who had not yet come to his side.

Until Miaomiao left, a secret guard followed her carefully not far behind. Knowing that his benefactor was very skilled, Xiao Yunzhou even told Miaomiao in advance that there would be secret guards following her.

The shaking of the arm and the pitiful and aggrieved look were enough to make Miaomiao forget her own insistence in the face of the other's handsome face, and she nodded.

Therefore, now that the secret guard is following her, Miaomiao thinks that the other party is trying to comfort Xiao Yunzhou.

But no one knew how far she had walked or where she had gone. Even the incident of someone seeing her banging her head against the wall on the street was recorded in detail by the secret guards.

Not to mention, there were cases where young men asked for directions with blushing faces.

In the past, Miaomiao wore patched clothes, had a tanned face, and had big, lifeless eyes with distinct black and white. Naturally, not many people would notice her.

But now Miaomiao was wearing an indigo dress, which was obviously the most ordinary outfit. But after Miaomiao came, the black on her face gradually turned from dark to light, like an egg peeling off its shell...

Those big eyes, distinctly black and white, were sparkling and glittering, naturally becoming a treasure visible to everyone...
