The coachman saw this and had no choice but to answer honestly, "Mr. Dongfang went to Mr. Ye's house."

How could he go against the 'spouse?' For the sake of his salary, he could only tell the truth.

Mr. Ye?

After she heard the coachman's answer, Wang Xiangyun waved at Wang Xiaoliu to ask him to go back to their horse carriage.

"In that case, you will take me to Mr. Ye's house."

After she finished speaking, she didn't care if the coachman agreed. She asked Little Tian to help her get onto Dongfang Ming's carriage straight away.

In response, the coachman didn't dare to say anything. He turned the horse carriage around and continued going straight.

Dongfang Ming walked as if he was flying and was faster than the horse carriage. He reached Liu Duo's yard door very quickly.

Hei Xiaomeng had seen him before and knew he was its master's friend so it didn't bark at him.

"Xiaomeng, you still remember me." Dongfang Ming patted its head as he smiled. Such a smart dog was very likable.

Hei Xiaomeng barked softly as a reply as if it understood what he'd said.

Liu Duo and Ye Ling looked towards the yard door when they heard it.

It just so happened that Dongfang Ming also lifted his head to look towards them. He laughed, "Little Ling, Little Duo, I hope you don't mind me coming here to disturb you guys again."

"Of course we don't mind. Come in quickly," Liu Duo replied with a smile. She didn't find it to be a surprise since he had also come unannounced like this the last time he came.

The two of them only realized when Dongfang Ming was closer that his shoes were completely covered with mud.

It had been raining for the past few days and although it was sunny and cloudless today, the dirt on the road hadn't dried yet.

"Brother Ming, did you walk here and not take your horse carriage?" Ye Ling asked curiously.

He went over to the side to get a slightly thick bamboo scraper as he spoke.

He knew Dongfang Ming wasn't a farmer like them. He wouldn't walk anywhere and would usually take his horse carriage. So why did he walk on the dirt road in their village?

Dongfang Ming came underneath the roof, sat on a stool and laughed, "Yeah. I suddenly wanted to experience using the small village roads so I didn't take a horse carriage here."

"Brother Ming, lift up your leg so I can scrape away the dirt underneath your shoes." Ye Ling walked over with a piece of bamboo scraper, bent over and was about to help him clean the sole of his shoes.

When Liu Duo saw this, she wanted to tell him to let him do it himself since Ling wasn't his servant!

However, before she said it, she heard Dongfang Ming said, "Little Ling, just let me do it myself."

As he spoke he took the bamboo scraper from Ye Ling's hand and scraped the dirt on his shoes' soles himself.

When Liu Duo saw this, her impression of him went up a notch and she felt that Dongfang Ming had quite a good character. He wasn't like those princelings she saw in television shows before who would look down on people who were lower than them in status.

Liu Duo sat at the side, looked at him and asked, "Dongfang, why did you come to our house?"

"I wanted to come and ask your advice on drawing techniques so I came over." Dongfang Ming finished scraping all the dirt and handed the bamboo scraper back to Ye Ling.

When Liu Duo heard him, she joked, "Oh. In that case, you have the gall to come to visit empty-handed?"

"I will make up for it the next time, is that okay Little Duo?" Dongfang Ming laughed. He didn't get embarrassed as he knew Liu Duo was teasing him and didn't really want a gift.

"That's also fine, bring two gifts next time!" Liu Duo smiled brilliantly.

Ye Ling looked at the mischievous Liu Duo with love-filled eyes. It was only their wife who could joke like this. Other people's wives would be too embarrassed to say such things.

When someone came to sell their tomatoes, Liu Duo would go pay them and record down the transaction and then come back underneath the roof to speak with them. She would give Dongfang Ming some instructions while she was there. The three of them would chat and laugh.

After half an hour passed, Hei Xiaomeng barked and interrupted their cheerful atmosphere.
