Peerless Empress

Chapter 27

All kinds of precious herbs are planted in the compound, the aroma of the medicine is refreshing, and the green and dark willows and vines are hanging down the eaves and falling to the ground.

Di Qing stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and looked around the courtyard. If she guessed correctly, what Gong Lieyang wanted to introduce to her was the woman who was afraid of bugs yesterday...

"She's afraid of bugs..." She looked into the room and murmured softly, her tone seemed to confirm the matter, but it seemed to be asking him.

Hearing her murmur, Gong Lieri raised his eyebrows: "The owner of this house lives with my aunt. From what you say, it seems that I have seen her before?" How did she know the secret that aunt guarded carefully? Afraid of bugs?
"Aunt?" Could his aunt be too young?The woman in the room was at most in her early twenties, could it be that the aunt he was talking about was someone else?

Before he could answer, an angry shout came from the door: "Stinky girl, how dare you be late!"

Di Qing and Gong Lieri looked at Gong Liubing at the same time, only to see her throwing her hands away, and with a bang, the two wooden barrels fell in front of them, pointing to the big vat at the corner of the courtyard and said: "Go to the back mountain to beat two barrels. Bring back the bucket of water! Remember, the bucket must fall into the pond, I don’t want the stream until the water tank is full.” After she finished speaking, she turned and went back to the house.

Looking at the wooden barrel on the ground, Di Qing couldn't help frowning. Is this called a barrel?She looks more like a bamboo basket!There are more than a dozen small holes on the surface of the wooden barrel alone. How can people fetch water?
"It seems that there is no need for me to introduce you. It is at least a few miles from here to the cold water pool on the mountain. Just this bucket... With your ability, I am afraid that it will not be able to fill the big tank in three days." He said. Looking at the two wooden barrels on the ground amusedly, my aunt is still the same, she likes to torture people.

She coldly glanced at him who looked like an outsider watching the show, and her cherry lips pulled slightly: "I remember someone said before that taking care of his fiancée is a matter of course!"

He shook his head, with a charming and elegant smile on his lips: "But I remember someone said that they don't want to have anything to do with me!"

These words really reminded her, she didn't say anything else, picked up the two wooden barrels on the ground, looked at dozens of holes the size of a thumb, and frowned again.

Looking up at Gong Lieyang who was blocking the gate of the courtyard, he said lightly: "Your Excellency Lieyang, please make way!"

Hearing that her tone became cold again, Gong Lieri couldn't help frowning, turned sideways, looked at her leaving back, and muttered to himself: "It's really like a mace!" Difficult to approach.

At the same time as he finished speaking, he saw her footsteps paused.

Uh... did she hear that?
He was at least fifteen feet away from her, and besides, he was just talking to himself... I can't believe that she, who has no holy spirit, can have such sensitive ears.

Maybe it was because he had practiced martial arts in his previous life, Di Qing clearly heard him talking to himself, raised his eyebrows, and pulled his cherry lips lightly, feeling amused by his metaphor, never expecting Gong Lieyang to look at her like this.

In the back mountain, the vegetation is lush, the path is extremely quiet, the stream is gurgling, and on the mountainside, the waterfall pours down like a flood, falling into the deep pool and splashing water.

Standing in front of the deep pool, Di Qing looked at the wooden barrel in her hand, then looked at the water ticket and frowned. Along the way, she couldn't help asking herself, why did she obediently carry the wooden barrel here to fetch water?

"Girl... are you trying to commit suicide..."

A charming voice sounded behind her.
