The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2434 - 13: Leaving

"No, master..." The young servant exclaimed in shock, "I was wrong, could you punish me in another way?"

"Punish you in another way?" Ye Haoyang thought for a moment, rubbing his chin, then said, "All right, then go clean the latrine."

"Ah..." The servant groaned, "Master, I would rather go wash the chamber pot. I’ll go to the kitchen to deliver a message first."

Watching the servant’s flustered and panicked back, Ye Haoyang shook his head and buried himself in his work.

"Miss, it’s quite nice here, why let Old Yu go out to find a house?"

After Ye Haoyang left, Mu Huaen carefully examined the courtyard. Naturally, the house was excellent, but it wasn’t suitable for her.

"I never intended to live here." She followed Ye Haoyang here due to special circumstances; if she hadn’t come, Ye Haoyang definitely wouldn’t have let her leave. So staying in Ye Haoyang’s courtyard was merely a stopgap measure.

"Why?"

"Soon he will be my brother-in-law. What does it look like to live in my brother-in-law’s house?" Moreover, she didn’t want to be too close to Ye Haoyang; she only wanted to watch from a distance, never intending to intrude.

"Now stop talking about it. Old Yu has already found a house, we’ll move in first thing tomorrow morning."

Ye Haoyang arrived at the residence carrying a food box just as he heard this conversation.

He looked inexplicably at the items in his hand, ultimately deciding not to take them inside.

As he reached the porter, he instructed them that if the guests inside wished to leave, they must absolutely not let them go; otherwise, they should pack up and leave themselves.

The porter promised several times not to let anyone leave, and only then did Ye Haoyang leave satisfied.

Early the next morning

Mu Huaen prepared to leave with her people, but the porter had received orders and refused to let them move out.

"Miss, what do we do now?" Zhuaner, leaning toward staying, advised, "Miss, why don’t we just settle down here. It’s safer."

"No way."

Mu Huaen resolutely refused, and after some thought, returned to the room first.

For the next two days, she tried using different excuses to leave, but the porter wouldn’t let her out.

She became anxious; she didn’t want to be trapped here. Initially, she planned to visit the Capital City, then go on a journey.

Why wouldn’t Ye Haoyang let her leave? He was too controlling; this wasn’t acceptable!

Mu Huaen was somewhat stubborn; once she made a decision, she wouldn’t change it.

That night, she had arranged for a ladder in advance, and with her bundle on her back, she and Zhuaner reached the wall’s base.

"Miss, do we really have to do this?"

"Keep your voice down." Mu Huaen glared at the maid, "If you alert others, we won’t be able to leave."

"Yes!"

After speaking, the mistress and maid climbed the ladder and reached the wall top. "Miss, how do we get down?"

"Jump!"

"Ah?" Zhuaner looked at the dark ground, pale with fear, she didn’t dare jump.

But while she hesitated, Mu Huaen had already jumped down, and seeing this, Zhuaner closed her eyes and leaped.

After the two of them disappeared, Ye Haoyang appeared at the same spot.

"Are you really letting them leave like that, master?"

"How could I?"

"Should I immediately send people to pursue them?"

"No need."

"Ah?"

The young servant didn’t understand; if we don’t pursue them, would they come back on their own?

Ye Haoyang didn’t respond to him, disappearing from the spot in a flash.

On the dark street, Zhuaner cautiously suggested, "Miss, why don’t we go back? This place is eerily dark and quite frightening."
