Lady Should Stay Home

Liu Xiaolan rubbed her tired eyes and yawned. Looking around, it seems that at the very least her little fool still listened to her and woke her up in time.

"Lady, I'll help you wash your face…" Mu Yuchen said, with a wet cloth in his right hand, "A wound shouldn't touch water, so I'll take care of the washing for lady…"

Liu Xiaolan almost wanted to hit his stupid head. So what if the wound shouldn't come in touch with water? She has another hand! Without waiting for him to finish, she snatched the cloth and wiped her own face. "Thank you little fool, but I can do it myself.."

Mu Yuchen had a grievous face, but in the end he had to let it go. He couldn't help it, every time he sees his lady getting angry he would compromise…

Thanks to this fact, Liu Xiaolan somehow managed to convince Mu Yuchen to let her finish the preparations for the chestnuts needed today. After all, what she needs to do today is to fry them and properly season them, so their taste is not impacted.

Who knows what would happen if she left the job to her little fool? Let's not say that he could burn them black, but the amount of seasoning needed is hard to explain to him, and it's all based on taste. How could he add the proper amount of salt by himself?

Although Mu Yuchen wasn't happy with her doing it, he still accepted her explanation in the end. Just what Liu Xiaolan didn't know, was the fact that he was puting much of his focus on the way she prepared them, hoping to learn as much as possible so that the next time he could take over this job from his injured lady.

Once they were done, Liu Xiaolan was about to prepare for their journey to the city. Just then, little fool came towards her and said, "I listened to lady today, so lady should also listen to me."

Seeing her puzzled face, he continued, "Since my lady is injured and just yesterday lost blood, she shouldn't do too much physical activities. It's better if lady stays home and I'll go alone to the city…"

Good thing that Liu Xiaolan wasn't drinking water at the moment, otherwise her little fool would end up with a wet face.

Him? Go alone to the city and sell things? He must be joking, isn't he?

"Little fool, it's not that I don't believe in you, but yesterday was the first time you went to the city to sell things…" Seeing his darkening face, she quickly added, "It's just that it takes experience in this business, and you need more time to learn how things are done…"

Mu Yuchen looked at Liu Xiaolan silently for a moment. "But lady is also new in the business, isn't she? We just started selling yesterday…"

Liu Xiaolan almost cursed herself. It's true that the original soul of this body had no experience in doing business, but how could Liu Xiaolan be lacking in knowledge? Even if yesterday she sold chestnuts for the first time, at least she could be sure to take care of any emergencies if they come out.

What about her little fool? Does he even know how to bargain with people? Not to mention the fact that after spending so much time with him in the recent days, Liu Xiaolan could clearly tell that Mu Yuchen was the introverted type, that didn't really like to communicate with people unless needed.

How is he supposed to do business like that?

Liu Xiaolan put on a small smile on her face and gently said, "Little fool, but I'm just a talented person. I'm good in doing business, while my little fool has good physical strength, don't you? So everyone has different things they are good at…"

The implications here are that you aren't a material for being a merchant!

However, it seems that Mu Yuchen either didn't understand her, or just didn't want to understand what she was trying to convey. No matter how Liu Xiaolan tried to convince him, in the end he forced her to obediently stay back home and recuperate her injuries.

Liu Xiaolan looked at the slowly disappearing back of her little fool in the distance and sighed. Hopefully nothing goes wrong and he can take care of the business today. Even if he doesn't sell anything, it will be good if their reputation is kept in its current form.

Sigh, Liu Xiaolan looked at her hand and cursed in her mind. She should probably think of food available for her in the village that can help her recover faster, otherwise she truly won't be at ease with her little fool's actions…

Perhaps she should later go to Zou's house and ask them if they have some more red meat? She could also thank them for the venison they gave them yesterday…

Meanwhile, Mu Yuchen was already on the road towards Shenyang. When he went to the city yesterday, he had to take care of his lady and be considerate of her physical strength, so his speed was much slower than his normal walking speed.

Today, with Liu Xiaolan staying home, Mu Yuchen practically run all the way to the city without stopping on the road. If Liu Xiaolan knew his speed, she would probably be shocked.

After all, it only took a little over 2 hours for Mu Yuchen to run from the village to the city. Isn't it much faster than taking an ox cart?

Mu Yuchen looked at the gate of Shenyang and muttered to himself, "The faster I finish selling today's portion of chestnuts, the faster I can run back home…"

His expression turned firm and he quickly moved towards Liujia Wood Workshop to prepare his stall. Since his lady has shown to be a little foolish from time to time, he couldn't let her be on her own for too long. What if she hurts herself again?
