Chapter 7 Can you forgive me?

The night was dark, and the torch held by Ji Zhixu, who was walking in front, made a crackling sound from time to time, barely illuminating the difficult mountain road at their feet.

From time to time, a mountain wind blew in the distance, making the branches and leaves on both sides of the road rustle, which frightened the birds out of the forest and flew into the distant sky.

Since Mu Daiyao didn't speak during the entire journey, and Ji Zhixu was also naturally bored, it was even more impossible for him to take the initiative to find a topic to talk to a woman he was not familiar with at all.

However, because she had long been accustomed to the ineffective husband-wife relationship between Ji Zhixu and herself in her previous life, Mu Daiyao did not feel any embarrassment. Instead, she felt that this rare sense of tranquility made her very relaxed.

On the contrary, the system in her mind couldn't bear to see the two of them being respectful to each other, and began to whisper: "Host, you can't be the same as before in this life, you have to give full play to your charm and let Ji Zhixu discover your

good."

"Since you are husband and wife, you must live in harmony and love each other. Only in this way can the children feel the warmth of home and the love of their parents, and they will become good children. This way, you, the host, can also complete your mission."

Before the system could finish describing the various benefits, Mu Daiyao interrupted her words with a casual "Yeah" in her heart.

Um?

Did it hear it correctly? This is the sun rising from the west?

The system was suddenly dumbfounded. It originally thought that it would have to spend more words to persuade its stubborn host, but why did it agree so easily this time?

Mu Daiyao sneered in her heart, she was too stupid in her last life!

She felt that as a stepmother, it was very difficult to gain the trust and love of the children, so no matter what happened, she did not care about the children, let alone file a complaint with Ji Zhixu.

She has also been foolishly adhering to the idea that as long as she sincerely gives love to this family and these stepchildren, she will receive love from them.

In the end, they did give themselves a disastrous outcome.

Mu Daiyao will no longer be so naive in this life. Since she, as the stepmother, cannot teach those little devils a lesson in person, she will leave it to Ji Zhixu, her biological father, to take care of it personally.

Although the system could hear Mu Daiyao's thoughts, it really couldn't find anything wrong with her idea. It could only hesitantly persuade: "Host, your idea is a bit dangerous. After all, it is yours."

You cannot rely on others to do your tasks..."

"Of course I know."

Mu Daiyao shrugged, her eyes fell on the torch held by Ji Zhixu in front of her, and she responded calmly in her heart: "But you didn't say at that time that no one else could help with this task, right? What's more, Ji Zhixu also said

No one else."

"By the way, I'm doing this to satisfy what you just said, to love each other with the children's father!"

When she said the last four words, Mu Daiyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and there was a hint of threat in her tone.

Perhaps because he was deceived by Mu Daiyao's sophistry, the system didn't say anything more. He just murmured in a low voice and then retreated without making any more noise.

Once the voices in her head quieted down, Mu Daiyao began to feel sleepy. She quietly yawned several times behind Ji Zhixu, and just wanted to go back to her room and lie down for a while.

Fortunately, the way down the mountain was not difficult because Yuki was leading the way, and soon the two of them reached the foot of the mountain.

After taking a short rest and resting for a while while burning incense, he walked straight back home.

Until he arrived at the door of his house, Ji Zhixu had already forgotten that there was a inula on the top shelf in his basket.

He habitually walked directly to the yard with the wild boar on his shoulders, trying to pour out all the prey so that he could calculate how much silver he could earn from this trip up the mountain.

"Etc., etc!"

Mu Daiyao, who was still following him in a daze, suddenly became excited and realized this. She quickly stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of Ji Zhixu's clothes. It was estimated that the poor flower would be buried in this pile of blood.

The prey was caught.

Then her trip to this mountain tonight will be in vain, and she will take this risk in vain!

"Is there anything you want?"

When Ji Zhixu was pulled like this, he stopped, turned around and asked with some confusion.

What could she want? She just wanted to get back the Inula flower that could give her a unique recipe!

Mu Daiyao complained angrily in her heart, but her face looked a little embarrassed. She raised her finger and pointed at Ji Zhixu's backpack and said softly.

"Ms. sir, my inula is still in your basket."

Hearing this, Ji Zhixu barely had an impression. He casually grabbed it in his backpack and handed it to Mu Daiyao without looking at it, "Here."

Mu Daiyao quickly took it, and before she could say anything, Ji Zhixu had already taken a big step and turned around to sort out his prey in the yard.

He had to deliver the prey to the big families who had made reservations with him before dawn, and then he had to go to the market to sell the remaining scattered furs, so he didn't have much

Time can be lost.

Mu Daiyao was about to cry when she got the Inula flower in her hand. She looked at her hand and it no longer looked like it had been when it was picked. On the contrary, the juice of the Inula flower was almost squeezed out.

The whole plant is crooked and looks sickly.

This, this is her five taels of silver!

Mu Daiyao felt her chest began to feel tight, and she quickly took a deep breath to prevent herself from fainting due to shortness of breath.

If she hadn't lent her basket to Ji Zhixu to carry the extra prey, the inula flower that had been picked with so much painstaking effort would have been clean and dust-free at the moment.

Now even if you sell it in a drug store, you will probably only get three taels of silver.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with the herbs?"

At this time, Ji Zhixu, who had sorted out his prey, strode back, only to see Mu Daiyao looking down at the herbs in her palm without saying a word, looking a little worried.

He was a little confused, so he stopped in front of her and asked aloud.

"Mr., Inula must have been crushed just now, and I don't know if the drug store owner still accepts it."

Mu Daiyao did not take out her temper on Ji Zhixu, she just puffed her mouth, raised her eyes and said pitifully to Ji Zhixu: "If we don't accept it, the money at home will not be enough. Mr.

It will take many days to go out, how about I try my luck in the mountains tomorrow."

"I will sell the prey tomorrow and I will get the money. As a woman, you should not do such dangerous things again."

Having said this, Ji Zhixu paused, turned his face sideways, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "Not every time you are in danger, I can arrive in time."

"I also want to do more for this family. You are often away from home, and the children study hard. They always need to eat good food to replenish their bodies."

Seeing that showing weakness had an effect on Ji Zhixu, Mu Daiyao rolled her eyes slightly.

Calculating the time, it was almost time for those little devils to be sent back. She thought about it and her voice became softer. She reached out and grabbed Ji Zhixu's sleeves and shook them gently.

"By the way, sir, I actually did something wrong today, please forgive me, please."
