nIt would be a waste not to raise them now that they were caught. Moreover, they were small spotted deers—they were much better than those rabbits and pheasants.

n

nSince she could no longer keep her secret, there was no need to hide it anymore. It was good too. She would not have to be so careful in the future. Entering the space had been inconvenient.

n

nShe picked up the two deer and threw them into the space. After ensuring they lost consciousness, she asked the man.

n

n“Um, when did you discover it?”

n

n“Probably when you put the mushrooms in,” Qian Jiyun replied.

n

nAn Jiuyue was silent.

n

nDoesn’t that mean he knew from the beginning?

n

nI only thought he didn’t know because he never mentioned it. So he tricked me like I was a monkey?

n

nDid he feel a sense of accomplishment watching how carefully and pretentiously I hid my things? How can he not say anything!

n

n“I don’t have other intentions.”

n

nQian Jiyun explained immediately when he saw that she was about to get angry.

n

nHe really did not have any other intentions. He simply felt it was too tiring for her to do all these things secretly. He might as well admit that he knew so that she could do what she needed openly in the future.

n

n“Alright, I understand.”

n

nAn Jiuyue sighed softly. What could she do? She had to live her life as usual.

n

nNow that she could rear the small spotted deer, there would be more animals in her space in the future. She had to reclaim her pasture as soon as possible.

n

nSince Qian Jiyun had already discovered her secret, she had nothing to hide.

n

nAn Jiuyue began to openly stuff the medicinal herbs into her space. She found many herbs in the mountains throughout the day.

n

nShe even found a few wild ginseng.

n

nThere were two large ginsengs. According to Qian Jiyun, they were estimated to be about 500 years old. Wild ginsengs like these were valuable in any era.

n

nAlthough she could not grow the big ones anymore, she was ready to cook them when she got home.

n

nOf course, she planted some of the smaller wild ginsengs in her space. When the wild ginsengs bore seeds next year, she planned to reclaim a piece of land and only grow wild mountain ginseng.

n

nMedicinal herbs were scarce everywhere, so she had to prepare more.

n

n“It’s getting dark. Let’s go back.”

n

nAfter walking in the deep mountains with An Jiuyue for an entire day, Qian Jiyun looked at the sky and said.

n

n“Okay.”

n

nAn Jiuyue nodded.

n

nAlthough there were many things in the deep mountains that she wanted to gather, it was not easy. She decided to come back another day.

n

n“I have to build a fence tonight. Otherwise, it will be difficult to rear the young deer.”

n

nShe muttered to herself, wondering if Qian Yiyun would be able to take care of the five children alone.

n

nOf course, Qian Yiyun did not have to take care of Rong’er and Zheng’er. They could even help her to take care of the three children. They should be able to handle it, right?

n

nLittle did An Jiuyue know that there was another person at the treehouse.

n

n…

n

nQian Yiyun was playing with Lu’er in the treehouse. Rong’er and Zheng’er were taking care of Xing’er and Zhou’er, who were lying on the bed and sleeping obediently.

n

nHowever, someone appeared under the treehouse before the sky turned dark.

n

n“Jiuyue, An Jiuyue! Come down quickly! I’m Aunt Wang. I have something to tell you. Hurry!” Aunt Wang placed her hands on her hips, looking like she was ready to fight An Jiuyue.
