"Mm."
Verdant Green Maiden nodded.
Old Li hobbled past the main hall on his cane. Hearing the conversation between Verdant Green Maiden and Yue Qiu, his face filled with even greater astonishment, and he hurried over unsteadily.
"Lady Verdant Green Maiden, why are you leaving? Did this stinky kid do something wrong? Or was it me?"
His expression was tense.
After all, Verdant Green Maiden's decision had come far too suddenly!
Other than assuming they themselves had done something to offend her, they could not think of any reason she would leave.
"Could it be... because of the wedding expenses?"
"Lady Verdant Green Maiden, don't worry. I'll work hard and pay back all those expenses!"
Yue Qiu hurriedly said.
"..."
The more the two spoke, the further off the mark they got.
"You think I need you to pay me back?"
Verdant Green Maiden shot him a glare.
In truth, over the past few years, Yue Qiu had gradually taken over the household affairs by himself.
He tended the fields, and much of the daily expenses came from the money he earned doing craftsmen's work. He was doing quite well, and Verdant Green Maiden had not used her own money for a long time.
Only for this wedding had she spent a fortune!
But that was not just for Yue Qiu. There was also Liu Cailian's share.
A descendant of an old acquaintance deserved some special favor.
"Then..."
"Then, Lady Verdant Green Maiden, why are you leaving? Are you... going back to Mount Tai?"
Yue Qiu looked at Verdant Green Maiden, his voice trembling slightly.
The young one was off the mark, and so was the old one!
Seeing the way the two looked at her, Verdant Green Maiden sighed helplessly and waved her hand. "Don't worry. I'll come back."
