Seeing that her cousin hadno intention of stopping with her questionig, Yesu quickly tugged at her and said, “How do you come up with so many questions? Hurry up and help pick vegetables and stop slacking!”
“I am not slacking!” said Yecao with a pout.
Cheng Xiao Xiao, humored by the two sibling, said, “Okay, one of you on each side, pick all the vegetables!”
“Yes, miss!”
The two replied obediently, Cheng Xiao Xiao responded back to Yecao, “I can explain the mystical well to you now, but you won’t be able to fully understand it just yet. You will figure it out later on. For now, just remember that water from the mystical spring is of a better quality, okay?”
“Oh, okay, miss. I understood!”
Yecao has a more simple and straightforward personality and always spoke her mind. Quite the contrary, Yesu was older and remembering all the lessons from her parents and her grandfather, observe more of the difference in their statuses and was less casual with Cheng Xiao Xiao.
The three of them continued to chitchat as they picked away at the vegetable field. As for little Yecao’s question, Cheng Xiao Xiao answered what she could, anything she couldn’t explain she just muddle through them.

Before she could respond, one of them already started shouting at her, “Xiao Xiao, you get out there. We need to talk!”
Cheng Xiao Xiao stood up slowly and replied lightly when they got closer, “Shi da niang, what seems to be the matter?
“Xiao Xiao, are you looking down on me Shi da niang? Why did you take all the other girls except mine? Have I Shi da niang offended you before? Why did you have to say those threatening words and sent out second daughter home?”
