Bab 401: Chapter 401 - Dividing the Land_1

Wei Ruo had no intention of being overly involved with Chu Lan, hence, she spoke sparingly throughout. She only responded to him when he initiated the conversation, and she was silent when he was silent.

Despite this, Chu Lan did not appear upset, but quietly enjoyed his time with Wei Ruo.

"I find that the days I spent on the farm were actually the most comfortable ones I've had during my time in Taizhou prefecture," Chu Lan commented thoughtfully.

Wei Ruo wanted to retort that during that time he was physically wrecked and his face was horribly disfigured; how could he describe those days as comfortable? She figured he must have lost his senses!

Wei Ruo did not engage in the conversation, focusing instead on stoking the fire in the furnace.

Suddenly, Chu Lan untied a jade pendant from his waist, placed it on the table, then pushed it towards Wei Ruo.

"You should keep this."

"Master Zhu, I've already accepted your medical fee, there's no need for more," Wei Ruo replied.
