Chapter 171: Chapter 173: Dig out the Hairpin_1

In the courtyard.

Nan Feng dug out the hairpin she had buried a few days ago.

After bringing it out, she first brushed off the dirt and then cleaned the box carefully with a cloth before taking it back to her room.

The night was deep and quiet.

She placed the hairpin in front of the oil lamp, the hairpin reflected a smooth glow in the light, it was very beautiful.

Then, she put the hairpin back into the drawer of the dressing table, carefully wrapping it with the original silk cloth.

After extinguishing the lamp, Nan Feng returned to bed.

She didn’t know why, but her heart, which had been feeling empty as if there were many gaps through which the cold wind blew in, seemed filled with a warm feeling now.

She scorned Ye Ge a while ago for refusing to reveal the truth and proposing to marry her for her honor.

But now, she found Ye Ge’s selfless confession of such a vile act, made to prevent her disappointment, somehow noble.

She still remembered his firm and low voice that night: "Nan Feng, I will ask your family for your hand in marriage tomorrow!"

That night, she seemed to have responded in an excessively harsh manner.

Nan Feng rolled over, contemplating whether or not she should apologize or thank Ye Ge the next day.

...

The next day.

Nan Feng slowly walked to Uncle Zhou’s house.

When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, she hesitated whether or not to go in.

Actually, she understood that regardless if she apologized or thanked him, Ye Ge would probably not take it to heart, perhaps, he would just nod lightly, answering: "Hmm."

Uncle Zhou’s courtyard was strikingly quiet, seeming like nobody was home.

With that thought, she decided to wait until she inadvertently ran into Ye Ge to express her feelings.

Having thought that far, Nan Feng turned around to leave.

However, as she turned around, she saw a person standing not far away.

"Dongdong?" Nan Feng saw Zhou Dongdong standing in the wind looking attractive and remembered it had been quite a while since they last spoke.

After the New Year, everyone including Aqiu and chubby Ya had come to help her plant the seeds, except for Zhou Dongdong.

Of course, Zhou Dongdong couldn’t come to help Nan Feng, if she did, she would surely be scolded by her parents.

Nan Feng walked over to Zhou Dongdong and greeted her with a smile, "Dongdong, I haven’t seen you in a long time, what have you been up to lately?"

Zhou Dongdong, however, seemed to be giving Nan Feng the cold shoulder as if she bore her a grudge.

Nan Feng pretty much understood that her parents had likely been gossiping behind her back, telling Zhou Dongdong not to associate with her and to keep her distance from her.

Since Zhou Dongdong didn’t want to do with her, Nan Feng decided not to force herself to stay there, to avoid the embarrassment of seeking approval from someone who is ignoring you.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongdong was the one who spoke first, "Was it you who tied my parents to the tree yesterday?"

With Zhou Dongdong asking her like that, Nan Feng understood that their friendship had irrevocably capsized.

Zhou Dongdong only believed what she saw and heard. Asking her to believe Nan Feng over her own parents was an impossible task.

Nan Feng replied, "Why don’t you ask your parents why I tied them up on a tree? I am not a quarrelsome person, but I won’t hold back when people bully me first."

Zhou Dongdong snorted, "Isn’t it all because my parents found out about your affair with Liu Chang? But Ye Ge already came over to our house about this, even smashing our water jars. But you, when will you stop causing trouble?"

Nan Feng was taken aback.
