Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Just a Superficial Phenomenon?

He went hunting in the mountains, hoping to stockpile some food for Feng Yurui while he still resided in Ya Village. After all, he was a person about to leave, and it was common for farm families to prepare cured chickens and ducks, which could be eaten for several months.

"I am Lie Ming."

"So it’s you."

Lin Caisang’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she watched the person emerge from the thicket, apparently also here for a hunt. She hadn’t expected to run into them head-on though.

"Master Lie Ming has also come to hunt? The Zhou family shouldn’t be lacking food, right?" she raised an eyebrow and asked him.

"Whether the Zhou family lacks food I do not know, but as a servant to the mistress, I cannot let my lady suffer," Lie Ming said seriously.

He didn’t believe that Lin Caisang and her company were unaware of his and Feng Yurui’s situation; everything must be within their grasp. As for the Zhou family, the more they suffered, the happier Lin Caisang would be, wouldn’t she?

"That’s also true."

Lin Caisang nodded.

"If that’s the case, then we won’t disturb Master Lie Ming any further. Brother Molian, let’s hunt somewhere else."

She turned to Ya Molian and suggested.

"Let’s go."

Ya Molian naturally complied with her wishes, holding the game in one hand and leading her with the other as they left under Lie Ming’s watchful eye.

Lie Ming chuckled softly as he watched their departing figures.

It seemed that they regarded him and Rui’er as strangers. Yet, were they truly strangers? Hadn’t their stance towards the Zhou family always been aligned?

But perhaps this was for the best. In fact, he didn’t wish for Yurui to have too much contact with Lin Caisang. The cunning of Lin Caisang was not something Yurui could match.

Perhaps once he left, Yurui, if sold out, would even end up counting the silver coins for Lin Caisang.

...

"Sang’er, you don’t want to talk to those two?"

Once it was just the two of them, Ya Molian looked at Lin Caisang and asked.

He had thought, since they all lived in the same village, that Sang’er would at least be more polite to Feng Yurui and Lie Ming. Although he felt there was no need for such niceties, this attitude was quite unlike his Sang’er.

"Don’t you think that this Lie Ming’s schemes are deeper than Feng Yurui’s?" Lin Caisang raised an eyebrow and turned the question back on Ya Molian.

At her words, Ya Molian’s eyebrows twitched slightly.

"You mean..."

He hadn’t noticed that. From his observations over the past few days, Lie Ming seemed to have a relatively soft disposition, even softer than a woman like Feng Yurui.

Could it all be just a facade?

"I am certain Lie Ming is not as simple as he appears to be. Otherwise, how could he have walked away untouched when the affair between Feng Yurui and himself was revealed? Do you really believe the Governor knows nothing?"

Lin Caisang challenged him once more.

Only someone like Yurui, whose heart was entirely devoted to Lie Ming, would fail to notice anything. Of course, her Brother Molian wasn’t unaware, but he presumably thought such an insignificant person was not worth the attention.

She wondered whether it was possible that when the Zhou family broadcasted Feng Yurui’s affair to the public, Lie Ming also had a hand in it.

Hearing her words, Ya Molian’s eyes flashed with intensity, and he began to consider the matter earnestly.

"I will have Jiang Li investigate further. If it’s as you say, then..."

"Then there’s no need to do anything to him. After all, he has nothing to do with us," Lin Caisang said indifferently.
