Transmigrated into a farmer's lucky charm, all the villains in the family panicked.

Chapter 384 Salary? Isn't that paid out at the end of the year?

Yun Shengsheng asked Qi Qingyuan, "What's wrong with those two? Why are they running so fast?"

Qi Qingyuan's eyes flickered slightly: "I don't know."

"Aren't you hungry? Go eat quickly." He then left.

Yun Shengsheng quickly followed, her mind filled with images of a grand feast.

But when Yun Shengsheng arrived at Qi Qingyuan's courtyard, she discovered that this dignified Prince of Nanyang only had one servant named Bajin by his side. There were no other servants, and he was even less important than her, a merchant's daughter.

At least she had Wu Xia and Fu Xing by her side.

Moreover, although Bajin is tall and strong with a broad back and thick waist, he has a simple and honest smile on his face and a bit of stupidity in his eyes.

Yun Shengsheng: "..."

Qi Qingyuan said to Bajin, "Go and cook. Make sure there's meat, vegetables, and soup, enough for three people."

Bajin smiled like a flower and happily went to the kitchen.

Yun Shengsheng waited expectantly, and half an hour later, she finally saw Bajin return carrying a large tray.

She glanced at the tray and her face darkened.

There were indeed vegetables, meat, and soup, but the vegetables were mushy.

The meat was cut into pieces larger than a fist, appearing raw on the outside but still faintly pink inside.

The soup was as cloudy as dishwater.

Yun Shengsheng swallowed hard, then looked at Qi Qingyuan and Bajin.

The two people had already picked up their chopsticks and were eating with great relish.

Yun Shengsheng steeled her heart, thinking that since the other two had eaten, it would be too pretentious for her to be picky.

She picked up a piece of mushy food with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

After chewing a couple of times, her face turned green.

It was mushy, salty, and impossible to chew!

In the end, she didn't have the courage to take a second bite. She put down her chopsticks and stood up abruptly: "Um... I suddenly remembered I have something to do."

"Senior brother, I'm leaving now. Let's have dinner together another day, okay?"

After saying that, he ran away in a flash without waiting for Qi Qingyuan to speak.

She now understood why the Yuan brothers, Yuan Qi and Yuan Chen, had fled in such a panic; it wasn't their fault at all...

Qi Qingyuan watched her back without getting angry. She simply shoveled the unfinished food from her bowl into her own.

Then he pushed all the meat and soup that Yun Shengsheng hadn't touched in front of Ba Jin: "These are for you."

Bajin's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Master! You're the best to me!"

After saying that, he buried his head and continued slurping his food.

Qi Qingyuan looked at his silly grin, sighed silently, shook her head, and continued eating the mushy food in her bowl.

Qi Qingyuan's courtyard and Yan Shijin's courtyard are very close to each other.

Yun Shengsheng ran out and took only a few steps before returning to the entrance of Yan Shijin's courtyard.

Just then, I saw Yan Shijin putting on an outer robe and about to go out.

She asked curiously, "Brother Shi Jin, where are you going?"

Yan Shijin naturally saw her too, especially with her messy hair and clothes; without even thinking, he knew who she had met.

He said with a bit of a laugh, "Dinner's ready. I'm calling you to come eat."

Yun Shengsheng's eyes lit up instantly: "Okay, okay, let's eat!"

"I desperately need to eat!"

Yan Shijin instructed Fuxing, who had followed her out, "Go and fetch some water for your mistress so she can wash up!"

Yun Shengsheng then realized how dirty she was, and said with disgust, "I'd better go take a shower and change!"

Yan Shijin nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

After the meal, Yun Shengsheng pulled Li Xin aside and asked in a low voice, "Eunuch Li, I have a question for you."

"My senior brother is the heir apparent of the Prince of Nanyang. Why does he only have a servant by his side?"

"I remember there were nannies and cooks last year!"

The food couldn't possibly be this bad!

Li Xin had actually wanted to talk about these things with someone for a long time.

But he was a eunuch serving the Crown Prince, so who would dare to chat with him about such trivial matters on ordinary days?

Now that the princess has taken the initiative to talk to him, he's still acting so informally.

Especially since his master didn't object, he was so happy that he lowered his voice and said:

"Your Highness, you may not know this, but the Heir Apparent of Nanyang does indeed have a cook and an old nanny by his side. Those two have been serving him for several years."

"But after the New Year this year, they haven't come back!"

"I found out from Bajin that the two of them were old and their health deteriorated after the New Year, so they were taken back to their own homes to live out their retirement."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is not one to trouble others, so he hasn't filled any vacancies."

He paused, lowering his voice even further: "As for the guard beside the young master, his name is Bajin. Actually, he here..."

He tapped his temple. "A bit silly."

Yun Shengsheng nodded, indicating that she understood: "No wonder, I see that he has a kind of... well, simple temperament in his words and deeds."

Li Xin nodded and continued to mutter under his breath, "That's right."

"I heard that Bajin's martial arts are extremely powerful, the kind of power that comes from innate superhuman strength, and ordinary people can't get close to him."

"But just being good at martial arts isn't enough."

"There are a few arrogant and wicked young masters in the academy who want to bully the young master. Since they can't beat him, they tricked Bajin out to bully him."

"Later, the Crown Prince found out and was furious. From then on, he never allowed Bajin to leave that courtyard again."

Yun Shengsheng's heart softened upon hearing this: "Senior Brother is quite good to Bajin."

Li Xin nodded with emotion: "That's right. I've heard that Ba Jin's mother was His Highness the Crown Prince's wet nurse."

"The two grew up together. That's why the Crown Prince treats Bajin as half a brother."

Yun Shengsheng understood everything now.

No wonder Qi Qingyuan could eat Ba Jin's terrible cooking without batting an eye.

Yun Shengsheng endured ten days of boredom at the academy.

After all, besides being forced to study, her fifth senior brother, Song Yuping, was also in the academy, and every night he would drag her to learn medicine.

On the eleventh day, she got up before dawn and dragged Yan Shijin, who was still asleep, out of bed, insisting that he take her home right away, even skipping breakfast.

Yan Shijin was so annoyed by her that he had no choice but to take her out of the academy.

As soon as she entered the courtyard, a huge black shadow pounced on her.

It was her black leopard, Xuanming.

Xuanming has grown very large now, with jet-black fur and a sleek, powerful body. His large, beautiful grey-blue eyes are particularly striking.

Yun Shengsheng chuckled and hugged Xuan Ming's head as he leaned in: "My darling, you smelled my scent, so you came out to greet me!"

"You're amazing!"

Yun Shengsheng is six years old and weighs only a little over 30 kilograms. She rolled onto Xuanming's back in no time.

"Come on, take me to my mother!"

Xuanming wagged its tail and carried her towards the backyard, its steps light and steady, like a super-fast black horse.

After Yun Shengsheng finished her meal and played with Xuanming for a while, she saw her father return.

Yun Huaikang said with a smile, "Your dad got paid today!"

Yun Shengsheng was taken aback, thinking she had misheard: "Salary? Isn't that paid at the end of the year? But it's almost March now..."
