Chapter 11: Are You So Petty as to Not Agree to It?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Chen Mengtian thought about it, Jiang Zebei was not to be blamed for misunderstanding her just now. 

If she thought about things from his position, she found his anger understandable. 

But she did not stop walking and headed into the storeroom. 

Coincidentally, when Chen Mengtian arrived at the entrance, Jiang Zebei came out. 

His expression was as foul as before. 

Chen Mengtian still retained her smile. ‘I’m older than you are, so I’ll be considerate to you.’

“You misunderstood me. I’m not asking for silver. I want to go into the mountains with you.”

But her explanation did not make Jiang Zebei’s expression any better. 

He had a disapproving look on his face. “Why would you want to go into the mountains?”


In the face of the disapproving gaze, Chen Mengtian retained an elegant smile. “I want to see whether there are any medicinal herbs in the mountains.”

When Jiang Zebei heard what she said, he was surprised, but he did not seem to be rebuking her for fooling around. 

The moment she saw this, Chen Mengtian put on a pleading smile. “You know that my father was considered a physician in the village. I want to go into the mountains to see whether there are any medicinal herbs I can recognize. If there are, I can pick some to sell or keep at home.”

Jiang Zebei naturally knew that his deceased father-in-law was considered a physician in the village and was even a scholar of the Chen family. 

Why was he only considered a physician?

Because Chen Xiucai could heal anyone with a headache, a cough, or other minor illnesses. 

He had learned his medical skills from his father, but only some of them. 

Apparently, someone from three generations ago in the Chen family was once an imperial doctor in the palace, but committed a crime and was demoted. 

Of course, this was something he learned from the people in Chen Village discussing it. 

At that moment, when Jiang Zebei heard what Chen Mengtian said, the crease between his brows was no longer as tight as before. 

But the disapproval on his face did not fade away. 

The mountains were too dangerous. If they ran into wild beasts and he could not take care of her, the consequences would be dire. 

Chen Mengtian seemed to know what Jiang Zebei was thinking, so she quickly said, “This is the first time I’m asking you for a favor in the past three years. You won’t be so petty as to not agree to it, right?”

She pouted and stared at Jiang Zebei with an aggrieved expression, as if she was going to start crying if he did not agree to it. 

When Chen Mengtian acted this way, Jiang Zebei felt troubled. 

He placed a hand on the door frame of the storeroom and gripped it loosely. Then, he asked, “Why are you suddenly thinking about looking for medicinal herbs? Can you recognize their shape and functions?”

This was not something difficult for Chen Mengtian. Yesterday, she had received knowledge from dozens of books in the dimension regarding medicinal herbs. 


Once she remembered the pain she endured when she received the knowledge from the books, she could not stop her expression from twisting a little. 

The pain was too insane!

Even though she had never given birth before and even if the pain she experienced last night was definitely not a ten out of ten like giving birth, it had to have been at least a five or a six. 

When Jiang Zebei saw Chen Mengtian’s face twist in pain, he thought that she could not describe anything. 

At this moment, he relented.

It was not as if he could not bring her into the mountains. She should be fine as long as they did not go deep into the mountains. 

Even so, he would normally avoid this sort of trouble. 

But what Chen Mengtian said next caused Jiang Zebei to widen his eyes so much that they nearly popped out of his eye sockets.
