If you are confident, you can leave Xiao Hao to be looked after by Ru Mo.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Hongyan hesitated for a moment before agreeing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She could not meet Ru Yun alone; she needed to have maidservants by her side for the reputation of the Huo family. Besides, Ru Mo was Liu Zhe’s person; he could take good care of Xiao Hao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhe led the way in front, stopping before the woodshed. He waved his hand, and the monk guarding it chanted “Amitabha” before opening the woodshed door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monk named Ru Yun was sitting dejectedly in front of the pillar, his hands bound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing someone coming, he quickly raised his head and explained, “I have wronged Little Benefactor Huo, it was I who took him out, I must bring her back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You took my brother without permission, and now I must bring you to the authorities,” Huo Hongyan said angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monk Ru Yun was initially stunned, then quickly shook his head, “Lady Benefactor, you are mistaken. This humble monk did not take Little Benefactor Huo without permission; Little Benefactor Huo said he had sent word back to the elders, and later a servant from the Huo family came to report that Madam Hu had approved. Only then did this humble monk take Little Benefactor Huo away.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Earlier when this humble monk took Little Benefactor Huo up the mountain, I had informed the master at the temple. But later I realized the weather was becoming worse, fearing Little Benefactor Huo might encounter trouble, so I let him wait in the cave while I went to Zen Tree alone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I believe your words?” Huo Hongyan sneered coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Master Ru Yun looked helpless, “Lady Benefactor, this humble monk does not lie.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Very well, tell me which servant from the Huo family came to inform you,” Huo Hongyan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This humble monk only knows that the person was referred to as Mama Zhang by Little Benefactor Huo; other than that, I know nothing else.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Hongyan frowned. She couldn’t get anything more out of him and left the woodshed with a heavy heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Huo,” Liu Zhe called out softly, seeing the worry on her face, unable to bear it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?” Huo Hongyan turned and looked at him, confusion in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhe suppressed his emotions and spoke sincerely, “I have something I wish to speak with you about in private.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, let’s discuss it in the room,” she said decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhe was momentarily stunned by her straightforwardness, only reacting after a while. Helplessly smiling, he turned and followed her back to the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Huo, what I need to discuss with you is somewhat confidential. It’s best if no one else knows,” Liu Zhe sighed lightly before speaking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Hongyan was taken aback for a moment and looked at Qing He, “Qing He, wait at the door.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young miss,” Qing He looked at Liu Zhe with vigilance, stomping her foot in anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Hongyan understood her concern but trusted Liu Zhe would never offend her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing He reluctantly left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After she left, Liu Zhe cleared his throat and sat across from Huo Hongyan. They kept a considerate distance from each other, both respecting each other’s personal space. Liu Zhe was clearly mindful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miss Huo, there’s something I need to tell you. My following you today was not incidental; I intended to verify something, and as it turns out, my suspicion is correct.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?” Huo Hongyan looked at Liu Zhe, confusion but no suspicion in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Zhe found her attitude curious, “Miss Huo, do you not worry that I might be a bad person?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are not,” Huo Hongyan replied, only realizing her words could be misunderstood after speaking them, and sure enough, Liu Zhe was momentarily stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>",689,"2026-06-05T23:54:29.014Z",1,"novelbin.me","e434edcab66c86f261feda61dcf07dd19963da429db52958588fcab41d5746d7","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1443","peasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-chapter-1441",2499,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fpeasant-woman-s-decreed-life-as-a-wife-cover.jpg"]
