The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The silly young master had a lot of fun today, but he was tired after all. After he relaxed, he fell asleep in the arms of the farmhand on the way back.

When they returned to the house, it was still early. Aunt Xue took a net bag of yellow apricots that the young master had picked himself. Madam You instructed Xue He to put the young master back into the house, and called Xiao Cui to get a basin of water and wipe the young master's face.

Sitting by the bed, watching her son sleeping peacefully, Madam You was in a good mood and asked Xue He: "Is Mu'er happy today? Where did you go?"

Xue He stood aside with his head down, hiding some things that were inconvenient to say: "In reply to Madam, the young master flew kites in the fields and picked wild fruits. The yellow apricots are very sweet. The young master was very happy and said he would bring these fruits back for Madam to taste."

Hearing Xue He say this, Mrs. You's heart softened even more. Tears flashed in the corners of her eyes. She reached out and stroked her son's eyebrows, smiling even more lovingly.

"Mu'er is the most well-behaved, mother knows it all"

During the first few years when he took care of Mu'er, he knew nothing and was very dull.

Although the You family was wealthy, the rumors never stopped. During the worst period, she could hear people calling them "fool" with her own ears.

The situation improved after the master collected the land deeds of Taoxi Village and became the boss of tenants in several nearby villages.

Even though they knew that the villagers were just gossiping and the children didn't understand, they just followed suit.

But as a mother, how could she not feel distressed and sad?

This is her son. She often blames herself for having been more careful during her pregnancy and avoided the medicine that the concubine mixed into the food. Mu'er would not have been implicated and suffered mental damage.

Her Mu'er should obviously be a handsome and intelligent nobleman.

But she didn't want her son to stay so stupid, so she patiently educated him, made him sensible, and made him more normal...

In the past, she was always afraid that Mu'er would get bumped into something, and worried that people outside would be reckless and scare Mu'er, so she couldn't help but restrict her son's actions.

Now it seems that she was a little overprotective in the past few years.

Although Mu'er is not very mentally advanced, he is already an adult, and she can't always keep him locked in the yard.

After what happened today, Madam You's mentality has changed a lot. She turned around and looked at the farmhand beside her: "Xue He, you are very good. In the future, watch over the young master in this yard more and remember not to let him get hurt. As for the miscellaneous work in this yard, let others do it."

Madam You's voice was gentle and her words were very clear, that is, she wanted Xue He to serve the young master and protect him at all times.

"Thank you, ma'am. Xue He knows." Although he didn't show it on his face, Xue He couldn't stop being excited in his heart.

"Okay, let's get down."

Mrs. You waved her hand and sent everyone in the room out.

Aunt Xue was very happy to know that her son didn't have to do any heavy work. She walked out of the house, took Xue He and said that his lady treated him well!

In the evening, Mr. You, who had not returned to the old house for a long time, suddenly came back and said that he had invited an old doctor with good medical skills who had just arrived at the Hengyang Medical Clinic to examine the silly young master and regulate his body.

This old doctor originally treated the families of high-ranking officials in Kyoto. He resigned due to old age and returned to Taoyuan County to retire. Mr. You happened to hear about this and wanted to invite him to come and see his son.

However, the old man had difficulty walking and had just returned from Kyoto. He was exhausted from the long journey and could not walk long distances nor endure the bumpy ride, so Mr. You arranged for him to stay at the You Mansion.

I want to bring the silly young master back to the main house tonight. Besides examining him, I also want to let the old lady at home check on her grandson's condition.

Mrs. You had a grudge against the old lady who was nearly seventy years old but still full of energy, and did not want to have too much contact with her. In addition, at the end of this month, she had to go to the main house to check the accounts, so she did not want to spend a few more days with her mother-in-law for nothing, so she did not go with her.

He only told the silly young master to listen to his father, not to lose his temper, and to be polite when meeting the concubines in the main house, and then he let the man go.

Yue Niang was not feeling well and stayed indoors claiming to be sick. Madam You naturally could not be so inconsiderate as to ask someone to follow and serve her, but the young master could not be without someone by his side. Although the people in the main house were not strangers to the young master, they were not his close friends after all.

Although Xue He has taken good care of Mu'er during this period, he is not a servant with a bond and is also a stranger. Therefore, it is not appropriate for him to go to the mansion during ordinary days such as the New Year holidays.

After thinking it over, Mrs. You asked Xiao Cui, who was beside her, to go with them.

"Mom, there's no one to protect us." Before leaving, the silly young master stuck his head out of the small window of the carriage and looked at Madam You, with a hint of reluctance on his face, which was not good at expressing complex emotions.

"Don't worry, Mu'er, mother is fine." Mrs. You raised her hand and stroked her son's head.

"However, Mu'er's worries are not without reason. The corn in the fields has grown taller recently, but farm work cannot be avoided. Madam, there is indeed a shortage of manpower in your yard."

After the wheat was harvested, Mr. You needed to place the stockpiled grain and also look after the mill. He was busy for a long time. Now, looking at this old house in the country, he found that there were fewer people than before.

A woman holding silver and money in her hand, it would be bad if there were not enough people in the house.

The previous batch of security guards probably reached the end of their work period, so they took their money and left.

Master You touched the ring on his hand, looked at the few remaining workers in the house, and said, "When I'm done with this busy period and have some free time, I'll go select a few guards and send them over."

"Okay," Mrs. You responded with a smile, coaxing her son to put his head back from the window.

[You're leaving just like that? Without Xue He with you?] Tiandao looked at Xue He who was left behind, and the other party's face was not very good.

[Leave him alone for a few days] You’ve teased him enough these days, so take a break for a while.

Supporting his side face, You Mu lowered the carriage curtain.

The horse pulled the carriage forward. Xue He stood at the back, watching the carriage go away, his eyebrows lowered and his eyes hidden under his eyelashes.

With Mr. You and Mrs. You present, he, a farmhand, had no right to interrupt.

Yue Niang stayed in her room. Although it was noisy outside, she heard the voice of Master You and knew that it was Master You who came back to look after the silly young master, so she was not surprised.

It was not until she heard frequent noises outside the yard that she realized something was wrong and went out to see what was happening. Only then did she see the ruts of two carriages going away and the dust raised by the horses' hooves.

"Hey, Yue Niang has woken up and is feeling better. How about I make you some brown sugar water mixed with ginger juice to warm your body!" Aunt Xue, who was collecting the dried vegetables, happened to run into Yue Niang who had sneaked out, but she didn't think much about it and asked with concern.

Aunt Xue was thinking about the difficulties of her daughter's life, so she wanted to make some soup for Yue Niang.

"Aunt, that carriage just now..." Yue Niang did not answer, but asked instead.

"The master has returned and wants to take the young master to his house for medical treatment!" Aunt Xue was a very honest person and answered whatever was asked.

"Then why didn't you tell me!" Yue Niang was a little unwilling to hear that the silly young master went to the county town without her. She just asked, met Aunt Xue's puzzled look, and then made up for it:

"I mean... how can the young master be alone without someone around him?"

"Don't worry, Xiao Cui has gone with you. If you are not feeling well, you should take a good rest for two days. Madam has exempted you from the work. A girl cannot bear to work hard when she is weak."

As she spoke, Aunt Xue raised her hand to check Yue Niang's temperature and found it a little cold, so she pulled Yue Niang into the house.

Now the carriages were carrying people away, and no matter how reluctant Yue Niang was, she couldn't run after the carriages.

She wasn't as sad as she looked, she just wanted to find an excuse to be lazy, so she missed the opportunity to go to the county town!

She was still "weak and in pain", so she naturally couldn't shake off Aunt Xue's hand, so she had to be pulled into the house.
