Madam Wei rolled her eyes. “Doesn’t he know how old he is now? What a reckless boy! I guess his eyes are growing out of his head. He deserves it.”

Liu Sanniang smiled and looked at Madam Wei. “Mother, should I apply the ointment for Second Brother?”

Madam Wei snorted. “Rub it on your brother. Remember to rub it hard to make him scream.”

Liu Sanniang smiled. She was really lucky to have a mother like Madam Wei. Madam Wei was very protective of her children. She was the only one who could hit and scold her children, but she wouldn’t allow anyone else to treat her children badly.

When Liu Sanniang came out with the ointment, Chu Yan was still there.

Knowing that a tall figure was sitting there, Liu Sanniang felt extremely ill-at-ease.

Some people had a very strong sense of presence even if they didn’t say a word.

Especially when she knew that Chu Yan would be an extraordinary person in the future, Liu Sanniang was even more afraid of him.

Liu Erlang was not sensitive to Sanniang’s mood at all. He stretched out his leg and said, “Sanniang, quick. Rub it for me. It hurts.”

Seeing that Liu Erlang’s ankle was already swollen, Liu Erlang sighed and opened the ointment to apply some on Liu Erlang’s foot.

Liu Erlang shouted in pain. “Sanniang, don’t rub it so hard…”

Chu Yan sat in the courtyard and his gaze landed on Liu Sanniang’s slender and fair hands.

His eyes were extremely dark.

Chu Yan heard footsteps outside and stood up. “I’m going back.”

These words seemed to be directed at Liu Sanniang, but when Liu Sanniang raised her head, she met his dark and deep eyes. She was so frightened that she immediately lowered her head.

She didn’t want Chu Yan to stay for dinner. If he really stayed, she probably wouldn’t be able to eat.

Liu Erlang wanted to get up, but his feet hurt so much that he gasped. “Hey, hey, hey. Don’t go back just yet. Stay for dinner.”

Liu Erlang scratched the back of his head. “You helped me out of the ditch today. You have to at least allow me to treat you to dinner.”

Madam Wei came out of the kitchen and called out to Chu Yan. “Thank you for saving Erlang tonight. Stay for a meal. Don’t hurry back.”

Coincidentally, Liu Dalang and Mr. Liu also came back at that moment. The two of them had just entered the courtyard and were confused when they saw Chu Yan.

Madam Wei told them, “Erlang fell into the ditch on the way back. Chu Yan happened to see him and carried him back. His clothes are all dirty.”

Mr. Liu smiled. “Thank you, Chu Yan. Stay for dinner. You’re not allowed to leave my house without eating.”

Liu Dalang smiled as well. “Father is right.”

Liu Sanniang thought that Chu Yan was an extremely cold person and would definitely not eat at someone else’s house.

However, in the next second, Liu Sanniang was proven wrong.

Chu Yan said calmly, “Then, I’ll stay for dinner.”

Liu Sanniang was in disbelief. Why, why did he stay for dinner?

Madam Wei smiled. “Sanniang, go wash your hands and come to eat.”

Madam Wei glanced at Liu Erlang in disdain and said, “Dalang, take your brother to change his clothes. Look at how dirty he is.”

Madam Wei frowned and looked at Chu Yan. “Chu Yan, you’re tall, half a head taller than my son. If you don’t mind, you can wear Dalang’s clothes first. I’ll wash your dirty clothes and return them to you another day.”

Liu Sanniang immediately thought to herself. ‘Chu Yan will definitely refuse.’

But in the next second.

Chu Yan nodded. “Alright, thank you.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Chu Yan with some resentment. She felt that Chu Yan was doing it on purpose to go against her.

Chu Yan glanced at Liu Sanniang. With just one look, Liu Sanniang freaked out and did not dare to look at him again.

Liu Dalang helped Liu Erlang back to his room along with Chu Yan.

Liu Sanniang went to the well in the backyard to get water and wash her hands. She did not want to eat at all.

In her memory from her previous life, she had never interacted with Chu Yan.

She couldn’t even remember who Chu Yan married in his previous life.

Whoever married a person like Chu Yan would probably feel terrible. Facing such a person all day long, how unlucky would that person be to become his wife?

Little did she know that many years later, she would turn out to be the unlucky person.

After washing her hands, she sat by the well in a daze, wondering if she should go in and eat.

After thinking about it, Liu Sanniang decided not to eat. She wanted to use the excuse that she was not feeling well and could not eat. Later, she would just ask Madam Wei to cook a bowl of noodles for her.

When Liu Sanniang turned around, she was so frightened by the tall figure that her heart skipped a beat.

Chu Yan walked towards her.

Liu Sanniang lowered her eyes and bit her lips, not knowing why she was so afraid of him.

When Chu Yan walked over, Liu Sanniang could even smell his aura. She was so afraid that her legs went weak despite wanting to escape badly.

She took two steps back with difficulty and wanted to run, but Chu Yan blocked her. Liu Sanniang was about to cry and said softly, “Can you make way?”

Chu Yan’s voice was deep. “Are you afraid of me?”

When she saw him, she was like a mouse seeing a cat or a sheep seeing a wolf.

Liu Sanniang was nervous, not knowing what he meant.

She thought to herself. ‘Is that so obvious?’

Liu Sanniang was on the verge of tears. She had never met someone like Chu Yan in her previous life. Her brothers, nephews, and nieces were all very gentle towards her. She had never felt this way before.

The eyes with which he looked at her were as dark as ink. Although the danger hidden in the thick ink was invisible, she could still feel it.

Moreover, Chu Yan would be an almighty general in the future and become a household name. How could she not be afraid? How could her legs not go weak?

She didn’t even reach his shoulder. He could crush her with one hand.

She was so scared that she wanted to cry.

“Chu Yan, have you washed your hands? Dinner is ready now.”

Liu Dalang’s voice and footsteps were heard. While Chu Yan was distracted, Liu Sanniang sneaked away.

Chu Yan squatted down and washed his hands.

Liu Dalang looked at his sister and felt a little strange, but he did not think too much about it.

This was the Liu family. Who would dare to do anything to Sanniang?

Liu Dalang said, “Sanniang, Mother said that these two quails are really delicious. Go and try them. You’ve been sick these past few days, so you need to eat more.”
