Chapter 27: Extra Compensation

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Fanxin knew very well that with her ability, she could not do anything to Ye Jiushang. At this stage, she could only be bullied by him. Therefore, she no longer wasted her energy on him. After tossing and turning for an entire night, she got tired and went to sleep.

When she woke up, she felt refreshed and extremely energetic. However, her body was a little weak, so she decided to exercise well and practice tai chi in the yard early in the morning.

Halfway through, Xue Batian’s powerful shout sounded from afar.

“Little Xin’er, Little Xin’er… Haha… Grandpa’s precious baby…”

Xue Fanxin watched as the excited Xue Batian ran towards her. Afraid that he would run too quickly and fall, she hurriedly went forward to support him. “Grandpa, what made you so happy so early in the morning?”

“Little Xin’er, I have good news!” Xue Batian was too excited and could not even speak clearly for a moment. He was smiling so widely that his mouth could not close.

“What good news?”

“At the morning court assembly today, I spoke to the Emperor, hoping that he could give the Xue family army some rations. Initially, I didn’t have much hope, but unexpectedly, the Ninth Imperial Uncle suddenly appeared and spoke up for me. In the end, the Emperor agreed to give us provisions. Haha… The big problem with the Xue family army has finally been solved. How can I not be happy?”

“The Ninth Imperial Uncle?” Xue Fanxin expressed that she had no impression of this person.

Did the Nanling Empire have a Ninth Imperial Uncle?

The current Emperor was already fifty years old. This Ninth Imperial Uncle should be around the same age, right?

“Yes, yes, yes, it’s the Ninth Imperial Uncle. In order to express my gratitude, I invited him to the estate for a meal. The time is set for tomorrow. Coincidentally, you gave me ten thousand taels yesterday. I don’t have to worry about where to get money to entertain the Ninth Imperial Uncle. Haha… Little Xin’er, I won’t talk to you anymore. I have to hurry and set things up.” Xue Batian came and went like a storm. He was excited the entire time, unable to stop.

Xue Fanxin looked at Xue Batian’s departing figure in confusion, unable to react for a long time.

“The Ninth Imperial Uncle?”

“Don’t know him.”

It didn’t matter if she knew him or not. Either way, he was someone from the uncle generation, so it had nothing to do with her. She should continue practicing her tai chi.

Xue Fanxin practiced for the entire morning and was drenched in sweat. She was about to go wash up when Yi Tian suddenly came looking for her, making her very troubled.

Just as Ye Jiushang said, Yi Tian already knew that the person who saved him two years ago was her and not Li Yaoyao. He had started to pester her.

How annoying!

While Xue Fanxin was thinking hard about how to send Yi Tian away, unexpectedly…

“Xin’er, I bought your favorite crusty roasted chicken.” Yi Tian opened the still warm paper bag in his hand, pulled out a drumstick, and handed it to Xue Fanxin.

Xue Fanxin was helpless against delicious food and threw everything to the back of her mind. She took the drumstick and started eating it. “Thank you, thank you! I didn’t expect you to be such a good person, hehe! It’s delicious!”

I’m a nice person… He had only given her a roasted chicken, but she already thought that he was a good person. She was a girl who was so easily satisfied. How could he have been blind back then and not realized how good she was?

Yi Tian looked at Xue Fanxin eating happily and felt even more regretful and guilty. How could a vain and materialistic woman like Li Yaoyao compare to the pure and innocent Xue Fanxin?

Xin’er, I’ll compensate you.. In fact, I’ll double the compensation.
