Chapter 111 She can do it if she says   so "Axi, it's so late, why are you still standing in the yard?"   When Tang Zheng heard the noise and got up, he saw Tang Xi standing alone, looking at a place motionless.   "It's okay." Tang Xi came back to her senses and smiled slightly, "I just heard a noise and thought there were thieves, so I came out to take a look."   "What caused the noise?" Tang Zheng asked curiously.   Tang Xi replied seriously, "It was two little wild cats, one male and one female. They may have lost their children and came in to look for them."   "Really?" Tang Zheng believed it, "Did they find them?"   Tang Xi nodded, "Found them, look, the family of three just left."   Tang Zheng nodded, "In that case, you should go back and rest early, it's cold at night, be careful of catching a cold."   Tang Xi nodded slightly, "You should rest early too."   After she said that, she retreated into the house and closed the door.   After Tang Zheng also left, the two figures left from the dark.   After leaving the courtyard, Mo Yi laughed and said, "Miss Tang actually treated Chen Luo and Boss Lin as night owls. I wonder what they would think if they heard it!"   Xie Cheng walked forward with his hands behind his back, silent.   "Master, do you think Miss Tang really cured the boy's poison?"   Mo Yi was very curious. After all, Fanghua addiction is not an ordinary poison, and so far, there is only one solution. Ningzhu is dead. What did Tang Xi use to detoxify the boy?   "If she says she can, then she can."   Xie Cheng has only been with Tang Xi for two months, but he has already understood most of her.   Let's not talk about other things, but Tang Xi has not lied about curing diseases so far.   She said she could cure tuberculosis and congenital heart disease, and she really cured them in the end. So, she said she could cure Fanghua addiction, and he firmly believed that she could cure it.   After hearing this, Mo Yi said, "Master seems to trust Miss Tang very much."   Xie Cheng paused slightly, but quickly adjusted himself.   He just said in a calm voice: "I think I trust people who are capable and do what they say."   "That's right!" Mo Yi nodded in agreement, "Miss Tang's medical skills are indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."   In the dark night, Xie Cheng's lips curled up slightly.   The next day, Tang Xi got up at dawn.   "Little doctor got up really early today!"   In the yard, the old woman who got up early to sweep the yard looked at her with a broom and smiled.   "Hello, Mammy, you have worked hard!" Tang Xi smiled sweetly at the old woman, and asked, "Mammy, have you had breakfast?"   Mammy smiled and said, "The masters haven't gotten up yet, how dare we, as servants, eat first?"   Tang Xi felt a little sympathetic when she heard this. In this era of unequal human rights, it is too difficult to have to look at other people's faces when eating!   Seeing that she didn't say anything, the old woman smiled and said, "The little doctor got up early. In our Xie Mansion, except for the city lord, everyone else gets up late."   When Tang Xi heard Xie Cheng, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Does City Lord Xie get up early every day?"   "Yes!" The old woman smiled and said, "The city lord has been like this since he was a child. He gets up at the hour of Mao every day."   Tang Xi chuckled, "He gets up really early!"   After saying goodbye to the old woman, Tang Xi planned to find a secluded place for a morning run.   After thinking about it, she could only think of the bamboo forest in the backyard of Xie Mansion. Usually, there were not many people walking there. The path was very quiet and the scenery was not bad. It would be nice to run and enjoy the beautiful scenery.   Thinking of this, Tang Xi decided to go there for a morning run.   Who knew that as soon as she stepped into the bamboo forest, the sound of a flute floated from the depths of the bamboo forest.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 112 Forbidden   Land The sound of the flute was melodious, but also a little sad.   "Who is playing such a sad song so early in the morning?"   Tang Xi was curious and decided to go over to take a look.   Unexpectedly, before she saw anyone, a cold light had already slashed towards her. If she hadn't dodged in time, she would have been injured by the sword energy.   "Who?"   Tang Xi looked around and asked coldly.   A shadow flashed out quickly, and Mo Yi's face that deserved to be slapped appeared in front of her in an instant.   "It's you?" Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief and said unhappily: "Why are you hiding in the dark?"   Mo Yi looked her up and down, with seven points of shock and three points of doubt in his eyes.   With the speed of his attack just now, it would be impossible for people who were not martial artists to dodge it, but Tang Xi, she actually dodged it easily, which shocked him and made him a little alert.   "The bamboo forest is the forbidden area of Xie Mansion, why are you here?" Mo Yi's tone was a little more serious than usual.   "Forbidden area?" Tang Xi frowned, "No one reminded me."   She only knew that there was a bamboo forest here when she happened to pass by this place when she was visiting the backyard of Xie's mansion. How could she know that this place was a forbidden area?   Besides, there is no sign outside. No one would know that this is a forbidden area when they first arrive, right?   Mo Yi said coldly: "Now that you know, why don't you leave?"   "Just leave, don't you think anyone is worth it."   Tang Xi snorted coldly, turned around and left the bamboo forest.   Mo Yi is here, and the person playing the flute in the bamboo forest is most likely Xie Cheng.   Since she already knew the answer, she no longer had the interest to pursue the answer.   It's just... a bamboo forest. She really couldn't figure out what was forbidden.   When she came here before, there was no one guarding it, so she also went in for a walk. Except for the bamboo forest and a pavilion, there was really nothing special.   Could it be that there is a mystery hidden in it?   "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?"   Tang Xi looked up when she heard the voice, and saw Nanny Jiang supporting Old Lady Xie walking in the yard.   She stepped forward and bowed, then looked at Old Madam Xie and said with a smile, "Your complexion has become even more rosy."   "Thanks to you!" Old Madam Xie smiled kindly, and then asked with concern, "What happened just now? Why do you look depressed?"   "Oh, nothing!" Tang Xi said with a smile, "I was just thinking about something just now, and I was not depressed."   "So that's it!" Old Madam Xie regained her kind smile, "I heard that Acheng went to the backyard today, and when I saw you coming back from the backyard, I thought he made you unhappy."   "How could that be?" Tang Xi laughed and said, "Master Xiecheng is so nice, and treats me very well. How could he bear to scold me?"   "Really?" A gleam of light flashed in Old Madam Xie's eyes, "Acheng is really as good as you said?" "   Of course!" Tang Xi nodded, and said sincerely, "Since I came to the Xie Mansion, Lord Xie has never neglected me in the slightest."   In the entire Xie Mansion, except Moyi, almost everyone was kind to her.   Old Lady Xie laughed out loud, and said with a happy expression: "I didn't expect that my dull grandson would be praised one day."   Dull?   Tang Xi shook her head secretly. Xie Cheng was not very happy. He must be very cunning.   "Ahem--"   A light snort came from behind. The smile on Tang Xi's lips froze instantly. She turned her head mechanically. When she saw the person behind her, she couldn't help but laugh dryly twice, raised her hand and shook it lightly, "City Lord Xie, good morning!"   "Yeah."   Xie Cheng responded lightly, then walked past her and walked towards Old Lady Xie.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 113 Fate   "A toady."   Mo Yi glanced at her with disdain, then went to greet Old Lady Xie with a smile.   "Old Lady is blessed by God, look at your rosy face, it looks like you will live a long life!"   "Look at this child, he is so sweet!"   Old Lady Xie was so happy to be praised that she smiled with her teeth showing but not her eyes.   Tang Xi: ...Who is the toady?   "In the end, Xiaoxi is the best!" Old Lady Xie looked at Tang Xi and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Xiaoxi, I, an old woman, would not live for many days!"   "Don't say that, old lady," Nanny Jiang said with a smile: "If it weren't for your great fortune, how could you have met Miss Tang? All this is destined!"   "So that's the truth!" Old Lady Xie laughed and said: "If we talk about luck, Ah Cheng is the luckiest, otherwise, he wouldn't have found Xiaoxi."   Xie Cheng glanced at Tang Xi, then lowered his eyes and kept silent, but his expression softened a lot.   Tang Xi glanced at Xie Cheng, raised her smiling face and said, "In the final analysis, it all depends on fate. Fate   brings people together even if they are thousands of miles apart. The fact that we met proves that I am destined to be with Old Lady Xie and City Lord Xie."   "Yes, yes, yes!" Old Lady Xie nodded happily, "It must be fate!" It would be best if this fate could be tighter! Old Lady Xie prayed in her heart.   

She looked up at Xie Cheng, smiled slightly and said, "Going to the bamboo forest again?"

"Yeah." Xie Cheng replied indifferently.   

When she heard the word "bamboo forest", Tang Xi pricked up her ears and listened.   

"Alas--" Old Lady Xie sighed faintly, with a sad face, "Your parents have been gone for more than ten years, and those who should die are all dead. For those who are alive, don't worry about it anymore." "   

Yes!" Xie Cheng replied indifferently again.   

Old Lady Xie nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, I still need to stretch my old bones. If you young people have anything to say, please go somewhere else and don't disturb me."   

Hearing this, the three of them bowed slightly at the same time.   

When Old Lady Xie walked away, the three of them stood up straight and retracted their gazes.   

Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng and hesitated, "There is something... I want to apologize to you."   

"Huh?" Xie Cheng looked at her with a bit of confusion.   

Tang Xi: "It's... about the bamboo forest."   

Xie Cheng looked at her, and after a long while, he said in a light voice: "If it's because of what happened just now, it's not necessary."   

"Not just now."   

"Not just now?" Xie Cheng's calm starry eyes were stained with a little suspicion.   

"It was just a while ago, I happened to pass by here, and I saw the beautiful scenery, so I went into the bamboo forest for a stroll."   

"What?" Mo Yi was furious, "You actually allowed me to enter the bamboo forest without permission?"   

This little girl really doesn't know how to live or die. Does she know that the last person who entered the bamboo forest has been killed?   

Tang Xi said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "I didn't know that this was a forbidden area in Xie Mansion before."   

If Xie Cheng hadn't treated her well, she would not have mentioned it herself because she felt guilty about doing this.   

Mo Yi glared at her and said, "You are right after doing something wrong?"   

Xie Cheng glanced at Mo Yi with indifferent eyes. Mo Yi felt a chill on his neck and looked around suspiciously.   

But he heard his master said to Tang Xi in a cold voice: "It's good that everything is fine."   It's good that everything is fine?   

Tang Xi was puzzled, what does this mean?   

"Do you know why this is a forbidden area in Xie Mansion?" Mo Yi asked coldly.   

Tang Xi asked curiously: "Why?"   

Mo Yi snorted coldly, "There are many traps in it, which are set up to prevent thieves from sneaking into Xie Mansion. You are lucky that you can walk around safely."   

"Ah?" Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "So, that is not an important place, it is just a forbidden area because of the traps?"   

(End of this chapter)

 Chapter 114 Little Vixen   "It's not entirely because of this reason, but..."   Mo Yi said, glancing at Xie Cheng, and seeing his expression suddenly sank, he quickly stopped talking.   "But what?"   Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Tang Xi couldn't help but ask.   "This bamboo forest was planted by my father when he was alive, and my mother loved green bamboo the most when she was alive. The mechanism was set up by me after my father and mother passed away. Preventing thieves was only one of the reasons. The real reason was that I didn't want people to trample on the gift my father gave to my mother."   Mo Yi didn't answer, but Xie Cheng spoke in a calm voice.   The two seemingly indifferent "when he was alive" made Tang Xi's heart twitch inexplicably.   "Then you can put up a wooden sign as a warning," Tang Xi suggested, "A newcomer like me certainly doesn't know that this is a forbidden area."   Seeing her innocent expression, Xie Cheng softened his heart. He turned around and said, "There was one originally, but it might have been blown over by the wind. I don't come here often, so I didn't notice it."   Mo Yi's eyes were almost wide open. When did his master speak so softly?   After being shocked, Mo Yi couldn't help but complain in his heart. Tang Xi, this little foxy girl, is really extraordinary. She even melted the iceberg. Although only a corner of it melted, it was still very powerful.   Tang Xi didn't hear any difference. She ran up and smiled, "Thank you, Lord City, have you arranged the refugees?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng paused, and then said, "Everything has been arranged."   "Aren't you with them? I see that you don't seem to pay much attention to the movements of the refugees." Mo Yi glared at her and said.   Tang Xi curled her lips, "I can't even protect myself, how can I have the leisure to worry about the people?"   After hearing this, Mo Yi sneered, "   So you have the leisure to worry about it now?" "That's right!" Tang Xi glanced at him with a fake smile and said, "I have the leisure to worry about it today. What, do you have any objection?"   Mo Yi snorted coldly, "Aren't you going to detoxify the kid that Boss Lin brought?"   "I have detoxified him, and I have returned the person to Boss Lin."   "Did you return it in person?" Mo Yi asked knowingly.   "I guess so." After all, the person was taken away from her.   Thinking of what happened in the bamboo forest this morning, Mo Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at her with a dark look.   "Is there something wrong?"   Seeing him staring at her without saying a word, Tang Xi couldn't help but frowned.   Mo Yi squinted at her and said, "Are you a spy sent by Chen Luo to confuse the master?"   Tang Xi: "...Why don't you say you are here to assassinate me?"   "Chen Luo is a man of many tricks. Maybe he wants you to confuse my master first, and then he will cooperate with you to defeat the Xie Mansion."   Tang Xi:...She didn't even see what Chen Luo looked like, let alone cooperate with you.   Besides, can she confuse a big shot like Xie Cheng?   "Mo Yi, go to the suburbs and help distribute food to the refugees."   "Ah?" Mo Yi was stunned, "Master, there are enough people there."   Xie Cheng said without turning his head, "More people will help, it will be faster."   Mo Yi:...What did he do wrong?   Tang Xi watched Mo Yi gloating and laughing, and caught up with Xie Cheng again and asked: "Master Xie, are you free today?"   "Yes."   "Then can you take me to see the farm and meet Nanny Qin by the way?"   "Okay."   Xie Cheng responded lightly, stopped and turned back, and said to Mo Yi in a low voice: "Go prepare the carriage."   "Then the matter of distributing food to refugees..." Mo Yi tried.   "Put it aside for now."   Mo Yi: "...Yes!"   The master's mind is changeable, and he can only flatter.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 115: No One Left Alive   On a jungle trail outside Hanshui City, a carriage was slowly moving along the trail.   The surroundings were so quiet that it was a little scary. Apart from the chirping of insects and birds, there was only the sound of the wheels turning.   Tang Xi moved closer to Xie Cheng, hugged herself with both hands and asked in a low voice: "Lord Xie, do you feel a chill?"   "Something's wrong." Xie Cheng's expression was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Pay attention to your surroundings."   "Yes!" Mo Yi   agreed in a low voice, unconsciously raising his guard.   Tang Xi frowned slightly and was about to speak, but there was a sudden movement in the bushes around, followed by a shout, "Surround!"   The carriage stopped suddenly, Tang Xi didn't sit firmly, her body leaned forward, and she was about to fall out. Xie Cheng was quick-witted and pulled her back, "Be careful."   The sound of Mo Yi drawing his sword came in. Tang Xi lifted the curtain and saw Mo Yi standing in front of the carriage with a violent look, surrounded by more than 30 big men holding big swords.   "Boss, there's a little beauty inside!"   When Tang Xi lifted the curtain, the people outside also saw her appearance and immediately became excited.   She frowned slightly and hurriedly lowered the curtain.   "Leave the gold, silver, jewelry and the little beauty behind, and I'll let you go."   In one sentence, their identities and intentions were revealed.   Mo Yi sneered after hearing this, "Do you know whose carriage you are stopping?"   The leading big man sneered, "No matter whose carriage it is, even if it's the emperor's carriage, we have to stop it."   "Huh~ Really?" Mo Yi smiled playfully, "Then try and see if you can stop it."   With a whistle, several men in black suddenly appeared around.   In the carriage, Xie Cheng looked at Tang Xi and whispered, "Don't be afraid."   "Yeah!" Tang Xi smiled and nodded.   The leading man laughed loudly, "Just ten people want to stop us, it's overestimating your ability."   Xie Cheng retracted his gaze from Tang Xi, and said to the black-clothed man outside the carriage in a calm voice: "Don't leave any of them."   These bandits, if left, would only cause trouble.   "Yes!"   The black-clothed men answered in unison, and soon, Tang Xi heard the sound of fighting.   Xie Cheng closed his eyes and sat steadily in the carriage. The fighting outside didn't seem to affect him at all.   "Boss, they... they are... Shadow Guards!"   The bandits' terrified voices came from outside the carriage.   "Shadow Guards? Xie Mansion?" The leading bandit was horrified and said inwardly, "Retreat quickly!"   "Want to leave?"   Mo Yi flew forward and blocked their way.   The bandits retreated a few steps in fear, watching the brothers behind them being killed. The leading bandit's eyes were bloodshot, gritted his teeth, raised his big knife, shouted and ran towards Mo Yi. Mo   Yi stood there motionless with an indifferent look. Seeing that the bandit had already attacked with a knife, he kicked the knife away.   "Beautiful!"   Tang Xi, who had just lifted the curtain and saw this scene, couldn't help but admire.   Xie Cheng frowned slightly, but didn't say anything.   Her shouting attracted the attention of the bandits.   One of the bandits' eyes lit up and he ran towards her with a knife in hand. The other   bandits seemed to understand something, and all of them ran over here. Someone shouted, "Hurry, as long as we hold that woman hostage, the shadow guards won't dare to kill us!"   Tang Xi was stunned, secretly saying that it was a mistake, and hurriedly let down the curtain. Her petite body quickly jumped out of the car window.   Xie Cheng, who was left behind: ...   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 116 Like a loach   "What are you doing out here?"   Mo Yi frowned, not to cause trouble for them.   Looking at the land dyed blood-red, Tang Xi's face turned pale.   "Σ_("∠)Ugh——"   Mo Yi: "...You are so disgusting!"   "Hehe——" Tang Xi wiped the corner of his lips and forced a smile: "Sorry, I couldn't help it for a moment."   "Ah!" Tang Xi looked at the bandits who had climbed onto the carriage and exclaimed, "Is City Lord Xie okay?"   As soon as she finished speaking, the bandits who climbed into the carriage flew out one after another.   ...Well, her worries were unnecessary.   "Hey, are you okay?"   Mo Yi saw that her face was pale and her body was shaking, and he suspected that she would faint at any time.   "No, it's okay, just a little dizzy. "   It was when she saw these dead bodies and smelled the stench that she remembered the time when she was lying in a pile of rotten corpses pretending to be dead.   One of the shadow guards walked to the front of the carriage and reported, "Master, the people have been dealt with."   "Yeah." Xie Cheng replied indifferently, "Clean up the bodies."   "Yes!"   The shadow guard responded, and together with the other shadow guards, moved the bodies blocking the carriage away.   Tang Xi suppressed her nausea and stumbled back to the carriage. After taking a breath, she said to Xie Cheng embarrassedly, "Are you okay?"   Xie Cheng stared at her with a smile, without saying a word.   "Uh... I was in a hurry just now and forgot about you!"   Thinking back now, it was indeed a bit unkind. What if Xie Cheng didn't know martial arts and got injured?   Seeing that he still didn't speak, Tang Xi hurriedly said, "That... I promise that I will never forget you when I escape next time! "   Thinking of how she had just slid out like a loach, Xie Cheng could not help but say, "You are quite skilled."   "Really?" Tang Xi chuckled, "Thank you for the compliment!"   When the carriage started again, Xie Cheng said, "I heard from Moyi that you dodged his sword energy."   Moyi's martial arts was second only to his, and ordinary people were no match for him. He was a little surprised to hear that Tang Xi could dodge Moyi's sword energy.   Tang Xi said, "That's just a coincidence."   "Coincidence?" Xie Cheng looked her up and down for a long while, and then said leisurely, "In that case, your loach-like escape skills just now were also a coincidence?"   "Loach...loach?" Tang Xi was stunned, then embarrassed, "When I was running away just now, I looked like a loach?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "Yes." "   Tang Xi:...   "Actually, my master's martial arts are also good. In addition to teaching me medical skills, he also taught me Qinggong and swordsmanship."   "Your master's medical skills are so great, I think his kung fu should not be bad either." Xie Cheng pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, "How about we have a sparring match some other day?"   "Competition?" Tang Xi shook her head in horror, "No big deal!"   She didn't even know how good Xie Cheng was. If she agreed rashly, what would be the difference between that and committing suicide?   "If you don't want to, then forget it."   From the tone, there seemed to be some regret.   Tang Xi forced a smile, scratched the tip of her nose with her index finger, and decided not to talk anymore.   "These bandits are so rampant that they even dared to rob the Xie Mansion's carriage. They really don't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."   After leaving the jungle, Moyi couldn't help muttering.   "I just heard those bandits shouting shadow guards. What do shadow guards do? "Tang Xi was very curious.   Those shadow guards were really skilled. In just a short while, more than 30 people died at their hands. No wonder those bandits were so afraid of them.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 117 Shadow Guards   Mo Yi explained, "The Shadow Guards are the strongest secret guards in Hanshui City. They are carefully selected from all the elite secret guards. There are a total of one hundred of them. One can defeat a hundred. They are one of the main forces of Hanshui City."   "So strong!" Tang Xi exclaimed.   "Of course!" Mo Yi was proud, "Those are people who crawled out of the blood pool. How can they not be strong? However, compared with the city lord, they are still far behind."   "That's right! Our city lord Xie is naturally unmatched."   After Tang Xi finished speaking, she smiled at Xie Cheng with a thick face.   Xie Cheng looked at her and pondered, "You are a person..."   "What's wrong with me?" Tang Xi blinked?   Xie Cheng slightly curled his lips and said in a light voice, "In addition to medical skills, this skill of flattering is also unique." "   Haha, haha... Thank you for the compliment, city lord."   Who made her powerless and still living under someone else's roof? There is no way, everything is for survival.   Seeing her like this, Xie Cheng felt funny in his heart.   "Master, which manor is it?"   When they reached a crossroads, Mo Yi stopped the carriage and asked.   Xie Cheng said, "The manor that Nanny Qin is in charge of."   Hearing this, Mo Yi hurriedly drove to the small road to the east.   "It's too dangerous here. What if I go out one day and I run into robbers again?" Tang Xi was a little worried.   "By the way, we have been driving this road for more than ten years and have never encountered a bandit. How come you ran into those bandits as soon as you came today?" Mo Yi expressed his doubt.   "What do you mean?" Tang Xi was unhappy to hear this, "Do you think that I invited those bandits?"   "That's hard to say," Mo Yi snorted coldly, "Those bandits didn't come early or late, but waited for you to come. Who knows if you arranged it early in the morning."   Tang Xi: ...From this, even she felt that she was suspicious.   She was silent for a moment and argued, "I stayed in Xie's house for so many days and hardly went out of the door. Who could I contact?" There were   so many spies in Xie's house. How could they not know that she wanted to contact someone?   Mo Yi said, "Didn't Chen Luo and Boss Lin come to your place last night? Who knows, the news was passed at that time."   "So you knew what happened last night?" Tang Xi curled her lips, "Then why didn't you come out to stop them? Do you know that... I was almost poisoned to death?" "   Poisoned to death?" Xie Cheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Did they poison you?"   "It's not poison, just a drug or something. Fortunately, I have a strong resistance, otherwise I would have fainted long ago."   "You didn't say you were poisoned on purpose to clear your suspicion?" Mo Yi expressed his disbelief.   Tang Xi snorted, "Whatever you think, it's not me anyway."   "If you say it's not, then it's not?" Mo Yi still refused to give up.   "If you continue to slander me like this, believe it or not, I will let Miss Ping'er ignore you?"   Moyi was shocked, "You dare?"   Tang Xi snorted coldly, "Let's see if I dare."   Moyi knew that ever since Tang Xi cured Xu, Ping'er had been obedient to her. She would run to her whenever she had something to do, either giving her free-range eggs or local specialties, and she was very enthusiastic.   He snorted coldly and stopped talking.   Seeing that he finally quieted down, Tang Xi couldn't help but chuckle softly.   Sure enough, to hit the snake at its most vulnerable part, Moyi cared about Miss Ping'er who gave him the comb, besides Xie Cheng.   Seeing her happy smile, Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled slightly.   The carriage soon stopped outside the gate of a manor. Tang Xi jumped off the carriage first, followed by Xie Cheng.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 118 Nanny Qin   A woman came hurriedly to open the door. When she saw Xie Cheng, she bowed and said in a gentle voice, "The city lord is here!"   Xie Cheng nodded slightly and whispered to Tang Xi, "This is Nanny Qin."   Tang Xi was surprised. She thought that the one who was called a nanny must be at least forty or fifty years old, but the woman in front of her looked no more than thirty.   Nanny Qin smiled and said, "It's cold outside. If you have anything to say, come in first!"   Xie Cheng nodded and led Tang Xi to walk forward first, while Mo Yi followed behind in a carriage.   Tang Xi looked at his farm while walking, and he was very satisfied. There   were fruits and vegetables planted on both sides of the path. Unlike the scenery outside that was infected by autumn, the farm was dotted with greenery and looked very lively.   Passing by the vegetable field, there was a house. It might be because the people had been dismissed, so the yard was a little empty.   Xie Cheng led Tang Xi into the main house, and when they sat down, he said in a low voice: "This is the main house, you and your family will live here."   Tang Xi looked around the house and found that everything inside, from the tables and chairs to the window paper, was almost brand new. It was obvious that they were all carefully decorated.   Nanny Qin came in and said: "The city lord and this girl, please sit for a while, I will go to prepare tea."   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, and when Nanny Qin left, Tang Xi approached Xie Cheng and asked: "We live here, where do Nanny Qin and the others live?"   Xie Cheng walked to the window and pushed it open, and the sunlight poured in instantly.   He stood in front of the window and pointed outside and said: "There."   Tang Xi squinted his eyes, and when he got used to the light, he walked to his side. When he saw a row of adobe houses at the bottom of the slope, he understood.   "What is that for?"   Tang Xi pointed to the straw shed not far away and asked.   Xie Cheng said calmly, "That's where the livestock are raised."   Tang Xi nodded in realization, and continued to look around, and found that there was a fruit tree not far away. It was early autumn, and the tree was full of dense fruits, which looked like pears.   Xie Cheng said, "That is the pear orchard, but... it doesn't belong to you. It was planted by my grandfather when he was young."   It's not that he was reluctant to give it away, but he didn't have the right to give it away.   Tang Xi could understand, and she smiled and said, "It should be, I can't just sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' efforts."   Besides, she didn't lack fruits to eat. There was a large area planted in the space, and she could pick them whenever she wanted. It was much more fragrant than the ones outside, but it was a pity that she couldn't find an excuse to sell them.   "Do you want to see Zhongwang Village?" Xie Cheng asked, looking into the distance.   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Can you see it here?"   "Come with me." Xie Cheng said, and turned to leave the main house.   When Tang Xi saw it, he hurriedly trotted to catch up.   The two walked towards the side yard of the main house, passed a small forest, and saw a two-story attic.   Xie Cheng led Tang Xi all the way up to the second floor of the attic. Looking to the east, Zhongwang Village was clearly visible to the two of them.   Even the people queuing up to receive food at the entrance of the village could be seen clearly.   So it seems that this place is quite close to Zhongwang Village.   "Zhongwang Village, does it mean the destination of everyone's expectations?" Tang Xi asked Xie Cheng.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Yes."   "It looks good. They should be happy here."   It's much better than waiting desperately in Beisang City.   "What about you?"   "What?"   Xie Cheng's sudden question made her a little stunned.   "Between Hanshui City and Beisang City, which one do you think is better?"   Tang Xi said sincerely: "Of course it's Hanshui City."   After all, it is the first of the three cities, so it is naturally much better than the other two cities.   Xie Cheng put his hands behind his back and lowered his eyes, with a smile flashing in his eyes.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 119 Bewildered Again   Tang Xi stood beside Xie Cheng, looking up into the distance, she saw the blue sky, white clouds floating like jade, like a beautiful painting.   Xie Cheng tilted his head slightly, staring at the smile on her lips, his eyes unconsciously softened.   He looked away, looked down at Zhongwang Village and said: "If you hadn't met me, you should have a residence there."   "Speaking of which, didn't you say that we were going to divide the land? Do we have any?" Tang Xi was a little expectant.   "Yes."   Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "How much is each person?"   Xie Cheng said in a low voice: "Half an acre per person, the three of you, one and a half acres of land each."   "Have you divided it?"   "Not yet." Xie Cheng said: "Wait until we come back after the Wanshou Festival to divide it."   "That's great! The city lord must not forget our family then."   Xie Cheng whispered: "No."   Tang Xi smiled after hearing this.   "It's windy up there, let's go down."   The two stood there for a while, and Tang Xi made a suggestion.   Xie Cheng looked her up and down, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "It's so cold, but you are wearing such thin clothes. Can you keep warm?"   "Do you want to hear the truth?" she asked.   Xie Cheng looked at her without saying anything.   "Actually, it's okay underground, but the wind is strong in the attic, and it's really hard to keep out the cold."   Xie Cheng sneered, turned around and said, "Let's go down."   Seeing this, Tang Xi hurriedly followed him downstairs.   When the two returned to the main hall, they saw that the tea was ready on the coffee table, and Mo Yi was standing alone eating a cucumber.   "Where's Nanny Qin?" Tang Xi asked.   Mo Yi replied vaguely, "She went to have snacks."   Seeing Xie Cheng walk to the tea table and sit down, Mo Yi hurriedly threw away the cucumber, wiped his hands, and came over to help pour tea.   Xie Cheng handed the cup of hot tea he had poured to Tang Xi, "Warm yourself up."   Tang Xi was flattered and took it and thanked him, but Mo Yi stared and froze in place.   When has the master ever handed tea to others? Not to mention the same generation, even the older generation has never had it!   It's over, it's over, his master has been bewitched by this little vixen again.   "Huh?"   Seeing that he didn't pour the next cup for a long time, Xie Cheng couldn't help frowning.   The cold questioning voice pulled Mo Yi's stretched thoughts back, and he hurriedly took another empty cup and continued to pour tea.   Xie Cheng took the teacup and took a sip, but his eyes unconsciously fell on Tang Xi's face who blew and drank.   It's not that she suddenly learned to be reserved, but the tea was really hot. Just   as the cup of tea was finished, Nanny Qin happened to bring two plates of snacks and walked in with a smile.   "Please sit down, Nanny Qin."   As soon as Nanny Qin put the snacks down, Xie Cheng spoke in a calm voice.   Nanny Qin waved her hand and refused, "No, no, I'll just stand!"   Xie Cheng said, "After today, you are no longer the Nanny of the Xie Mansion, so there is no need to be so reserved."   Nanny Qin said respectfully, "Even if I am no longer the Nanny of the Xie Mansion, the City Lord is still the City Lord, and etiquette cannot be avoided."   Xie Cheng did not refute her, but introduced Tang Xi to her, "This is Miss Tang."   Nanny Qin looked at Tang Xi, hiding the surprise in her eyes, bowed slightly, and smiled, "I guessed it just now, but I didn't expect it to be Miss Tang."   She thought that the Miss Tang mentioned by the City Lord was a girl who was about the same age as the City Lord, but she didn't expect it to be a little girl who looked like she hadn't even reached the age of marriage.   This little girl looked delicate and tender, and I don't know which family she was from. Why did she buy this farm for no reason?   Moreover, the City Lord seemed to treat her very well. Sitting next to her, even his cold expression seemed to be relieved by three points.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 120 Send Back   "Hello, Aunt Qin!"   In order to show respect, Tang Xi stood up and stretched out her hand. Halfway through, she realized something was wrong and quickly retracted her hand. She gently wiped her skirt with her hand and smiled at Aunt Qin.   She almost forgot that in this era, there is no handshake when greeting.   This smile fell into Aunt Qin's eyes, but it revealed a bit of innocence and stupidity.   Nanny Qin smiled kindly, "Thank you for taking me in. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."   "Actually, I came here today to discuss something with you in detail."   Nanny Qin nodded, "Go ahead, young lady."   Tang Xi said, "My father has not farmed many times in his life. He probably doesn't know what to plant in different seasons, so I still want you to continue to manage this farm. Don't worry, I will not give you any less than the amount of money the Xie family gave you before."   Nanny Qin was overjoyed after hearing this, "Then I will obey your order!"   She originally thought that being able to stay was a great blessing, but she didn't expect that she could still receive monthly wages as before.   "I heard that you have a daughter, why didn't I see her?" Tang Xi asked curiously.   Nanny Qin smiled, "She went to Zhongwang Village early in the morning, saying that she was going to help the prince's wife to make porridge."   Tang Xi nodded suddenly. During this period, Xie Ling went to Zhongwang Village almost every day to make porridge for the villagers.   Nanny Qin looked at the vegetable fields outside the house and said, "After harvesting this season's vegetables, we have to wait until next spring to continue sowing."   "After harvesting, all these will be sent to the Xie Mansion, right?" Tang Xi asked.   "Yes!" Nanny Qin smiled and said, "Although the farm was given to the young lady, the things planted this year still belong to the Xie Mansion."   "No need." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice, "Except for the pear garden, the rest will all belong to Miss Tang."   The Xie Mansion has many farms, and the things in this small farm are just a drop in the bucket for the Xie Mansion.   "Thank you, Lord!" Tang Xi couldn't wait to thank him.   Although she didn't need anything, winter was coming, and without these things as a cover, how could she take out the things in the space?   Mo Yi said, "Those livestock and poultry have been sent to the farm next door. Only some vegetables have not been moved yet. However, they are enough for your family of three to eat for a whole autumn and winter."   "Moved?" Xie Cheng frowned. "Who ordered it?"   Nanny Qin saw it and said nervously, "It was the old servant who took the initiative to ask Lord Mo Yi to send those livestock to the farm next door."   She didn't know that the city lord wanted to leave those things to Miss Tang. If she knew, she would definitely not do so.   Xie Cheng looked at Mo Yi and said indifferently, "As much as was sent over, let someone send as much back."   "No, no," Tang Xi waved her hand and said, "Originally, these things belonged to the Xie Mansion, and it is natural to take them over."   Although she felt a little sorry, the people who raised those livestock and poultry were bought by the Xie Mansion, and the monthly salary was also paid by the Xie Mansion, so they should be returned to the Xie Mansion.   Nanny Qin looked at Tang Xi with an apologetic look on her face, not daring to say more.   "Are you still not going?" Xie Cheng looked at Mo Yi coldly.   Mo Yi was frightened and quickly agreed, "Yes, I will go right away!"   "Don't go, don't go!"   Seeing that Mo Yi was about to leave, Tang Xi hurriedly pulled him back, "It's the same if I buy another one myself. Besides, our family of three still lives in Xie's house. The food and drinks are all from Xie's house. It doesn't matter where we put those things?"   After hearing this, Mo Yi hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Miss Tang is right!"   Qin Ma, who was standing aside, showed a surprised look after hearing Tang Xi's words.   She didn't expect that Tang Xi actually lived in Xie's house.   (End of this chapter)
