Chapter 171 Drunk to the point of not recognizing relatives   He thought that from now on, it would be fine even if he didn't have a concubine. He was just an ordinary man, and he would be tempted by beauty. The Tenth Princess looked very much to his taste, so it would be nice to spend his life with her like this.   The young people present, especially the women, all wanted to talk to Tang Xi, but because of the people around her, they could only look on.   Girls are always prone to some minor illnesses, so they all wanted to ask this little doctor to help take a look and see what medicine to use, but no one dared to step forward.   The Tenth Princess poured a glass of wine, raised it high to Tang Xi, and said in a serious tone: "Ran'er toasts you a glass, thank you for giving Ran'er a good skin!"   When the Tenth Princess said this, everyone suddenly realized it.   It turned out that the Tenth Princess's face was also healed by the little doctor!   Tang Xi also raised her glass and smiled at her, "It is an honor for me to heal the princess's injury."   The two clinked their glasses, smiled at each other, and then raised their glasses and drank at the same time.   "Ahem..."   Tang Xi choked on the spicy food and her face turned red.   "Divine doctor, can't you drink?" The Tenth Princess put down the cup and asked worriedly.   "Are you okay?" Mianmian had just poured the tea when Xie Cheng had already poured it and handed it to Tang Xi.   "Drink your tea slowly." He whispered, "Drink slowly."   "Oh, okay!"   Tang Xi actually felt a little embarrassed. She had a good alcohol tolerance in her previous life, but she forgot that her soul was in a different body. The original owner had never touched alcohol since she was a child. If she drank suddenly at this time, she would naturally feel uncomfortable.   "As the host, Mianmian and I haven't toasted to you yet."   Qin Yang said, pouring wine for himself and his wife, and then raised his glass and said, "Come on, I'll toast to everyone. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to my flower-viewing banquet."   After Qin Yang and Mianmian toasted, it was Lu Huai's turn. After Lu Huai toasted, it was Pei Lun's turn, and then it was Ji Changan and his wife. Finally, Xie Cheng returned a glass. Back and forth, Tang Xi had already drunk several glasses of wine.   Her mind was a little empty, and her eyes were gradually distracted. After a while, several people saw her with her elbows on the table, her palm supporting her chin, squinting her eyes and smiling without saying a word.   At first, no one noticed her abnormality, until the next toast, when they saw that she didn't move for a long time, and then they realized that something was wrong.   "Miss Tang?" Xie Cheng tried to call out.   "Hmm?" Tang Xi slightly opened her eyes, tilted her head and looked at him. After a while, she stared at his face and laughed happily, "Where did you come from, little brother? He's so handsome!"   Xie Cheng: "... You're drunk."   A very sure tone.   "Drunk?" Tang Xi frowned and shook her head in dissatisfaction, "Well~ I'm not drunk, you're drunk, you look, you're all staggering, hehe——"   Ji Changan chuckled, "Miss Tang, this... is too much alcohol, right?"   "Why don't we have someone help her to the guest room to rest first?" Mianmian suggested.   The Tenth Princess stood up and said, "I'll help her."   Qin Yang nodded, "Okay!"   However, as soon as the Tenth Princess stretched out her hand, Tang Xi's eyes suddenly turned cold. The Tenth Princess was startled and staggered back a few steps.   "Who are you?" Tang Xi looked at her vigilantly and asked.   The Tenth Princess was stunned, "The miracle doctor... don't you remember me?"   "The miracle doctor?" Tang Xi shook her head and replied seriously, "I don't know him."   "Then do you know me?" Sun Wei came over and asked.   Tang Xi stared at her for a long time, but still shook his head.   "What about me?" Xie Ling asked.   "You?" Tang Xi tried to open his eyes wide and looked at her, but finally shook his head, "I don't know you."   "Alas..." Sun Wei shrugged, "It seems that Xiao Xi is so drunk that he doesn't recognize his relatives."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 172: A nuisance   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, approached her and asked, "What about me?"   Tang Xi turned around in a daze, and after seeing that it was him, he laughed again, "I recognize you, I dreamed of you."   "Did you dream of me?" Xie Cheng curled his lips slightly, "What did you dream of me doing?"   The others listened attentively.   But Tang Xi suddenly stopped smiling and said coldly, "You, hugged me and jumped off the cliff, and you still dare to laugh!"   This sudden change made Xie Cheng stunned, and the others also showed disappointed expressions.   "But..." Tang Xi giggled a few more times, and directly pinched Xie Cheng's face and said, "Since you are so handsome, I will forgive you."   Xie Cheng was a little amused, but the others couldn't help but laugh.   Although he was intoxicated, Tang Xi didn't dare to use heavy hands, for fear of damaging that handsome face.   "Since you forgive me, I will let someone take you down to rest, okay?" Xie Cheng whispered tentatively.   Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. This was the first time they had seen Xie Cheng being so gentle.   "Hmm~" Tang Xi shook her head, "No."   "Then I won't go." Xie Cheng was helpless, "Then sit down and be good. We'll go home in a while."   "Home?"   Tang Xi stood up shakily with the help of the table. After looking around, she suddenly frowned, "Where is this?"   "Miss Tang, this is the Qin Mansion." Lu Huai kindly reminded.   "Qin Mansion?" She stumbled around and looked at Xie Cheng and asked, "This is not my home. Where is my home?"   Xie Cheng helped her sit down, "Your home is in Hanshui City."   "Hanshui City?" Tang Xi tilted her head and thought about it. Tang Xiao's appearance flashed in her mind. The originally blank mind finally had a little memory, "Yes, Hanshui City, Xiao is still waiting for me to go back."   She looked up at Xie Cheng and was suddenly stunned, "City Lord Xie, why are you here?"   Xie Cheng:...Hasn't he always been here?   However, I can still recognize him, which proves that I am a little more sober.   "City Lord Xie, let's go home!"   Before Xie Cheng could react, Tang Xi had already grasped his five fingers with both hands, frowned and said, "Let's go home, the capital is not fun at all, and we have to be polite and courteous all the time, it's too cumbersome, I don't like it!"   After saying that, he burped.   Xie Cheng chuckled, "Okay, let's go home, let's go home now!"   Everyone present was dumbfounded. Xie Cheng actually smiled, not with a slight curl of his lips, but with a full smile.   When they came to their senses, Xie Cheng had already helped Tang Xi to stand up, looked at a few people and said, "She is drunk, I will take her back to the Anding Marquis Mansion first, you guys drink slowly."   "Or, I'll take you there!" Qin Yang stood up and suggested.   "No need, you are the host, you can't leave the table."   After Xie Cheng said that, he helped Tang Xi to walk out.   The people who had been looking at this side were confused and shocked when they saw the scene in front of them.   Didn't they say that City Lord Xie was not close to women? What was going on in front of them?   Hanrong and Honglian were so angry that their lungs hurt, their eyes were full of resentment. Of course, one of them hated Tang Xi and the other resented Xie Cheng, while Wang Zhirou stared silently with red eyes.   "You are worthy of being a miracle doctor. You can even make an iceberg laugh!" The Tenth Princess had a look of admiration on her face.   She had known Xie Cheng for so many years, but she had never seen Xie Cheng laugh.   Lu Huai smiled and shook his head, "Sure enough, even heroes can't resist the temptation of beautiful women!"   The others smiled but said nothing.   "What's wrong with her?" Moyi, who was waiting outside the courtyard, was a little dumbfounded when he saw this.   "Hehe, I know you, Moyi." Tang Xi smiled and snorted, "You are a disgusting guy."   Xie Cheng glanced at Moyi, whose face turned pale in an instant, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 173 Token of Love (1)   "She smells of alcohol. Is she drunk?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng replied calmly and ordered, "Go and drive the car. Let's go back to the Anding Marquis' Mansion."   Mo Yi looked at the drunkard who was rubbing his head against his master's arms with disdain, and then walked away.   When the carriage drove into the downtown area, Tang Xi, who had been sitting obediently, suddenly made a fuss and wanted to get off.   Xie Cheng had no choice but to ask Mo Yi to stop the carriage.   As soon as the carriage stopped, Tang Xi had already groped her way out of the carriage. When Xie Cheng saw this, he hurried to follow.   Seeing that she was just walking around silently, Xie Cheng was relieved.   He was really afraid that she would do something irrational in public. Then, when she woke up, she would definitely regret it.   "Hmm?"   Tang Xi stared at a stall selling bamboo flutes in front of her, walked up quickly, and looked at this one and that one curiously.   Seeing a customer coming, the stall owner asked enthusiastically, "Little girl, do you want to buy a flute?"   "Buy!"   Tang Xi pointed at the bamboo flute and laughed.   "Uh..."   After being surprised, the stall owner said with regret, "I didn't expect that she was dressed so well and looked so well-behaved, but she was actually a fool. What a pity."   "Who did you say was a fool?" Tang Xi stepped on the stall and said coldly, "Say it again if you have the guts."   "Ah?" The stall owner was shocked, "So, he's not a fool? Oh, I'm sorry, little girl, I'm short-sighted!"   Tang Xi snorted coldly, untied his purse and rummaged around, and finally took out a few pieces of silver and threw them in front of the stall owner, "Is that enough?"   "Enough, enough!" The stall owner was overjoyed, "Girl, choose whichever you like."   Tang Xi tilted his head and looked carefully, and finally chose a better-looking bamboo flute.   Xie Cheng, who had followed, stepped forward and asked, "Do you want to play the flute?"   "Yes!" Tang Xi nodded, "Play it."   Xie Cheng smiled slightly, "Then play it."   Tang Xi smiled, found a place to sit next to the stall, adjusted the bamboo flute, and then put it to her lips in a very formal manner.   Just as Xie Cheng and the stall owner were looking at her expectantly, a sharp and piercing sound suddenly floated over.   Xie Cheng: ...   The stall owner: ...   Mo Yi who came from behind: ...   "Enough, enough!" Xie Cheng held his forehead and hurried forward to stop him, "We won't play it anymore, aren't we going home?"   Xie Cheng was afraid that if she continued to play, the people nearby would throw eggs at her.   "Not going back!" Tang Xi turned around, and after a while turned back and asked, "Does my playing sound good?"   "It sounds good!" Xie Cheng nodded without hesitation.   She looked at the stall owner again, and the stall owner looked at the silver in his hand and said with a guilty conscience, "It sounds good, it sounds good."   Tang Xi smiled with satisfaction and looked at Mo Yi.   Mo Yi received Xie Cheng's warning look and smiled, "It sounds nice, naturally sharp, and makes people pee."   The stall owner was holding back his smile, and his eyes were filled with moisture.   Tang Xi snorted coldly and stuffed the bamboo flute to Xie Cheng, "Here you go."   Xie Cheng took it and smiled, "Thank you!"   Tang Xi smiled at him, took his arm and walked back, "Let's go home."   "Okay!"   Xie Cheng let her pull him forward, lowered his head to look at the bamboo flute in his hand, turned it twice, and smiled.   "That, buy it!"   Seeing someone selling cloth toys nearby, she let go of Xie Cheng's hand again, walked to the side, picked and chose and bought a dozen or so.   This time, Xie Cheng paid for her.   She only heard her mumbling, "This is for Ah Xiao."   Halfway through the walk, she threw all the cloth toys in her arms to Xie Cheng, and went to buy a pair of puppets.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 174 Token of Love (2)   Xie Cheng handed the cloth toy to Mo Yi and asked him to take it back to the carriage first. He took the bamboo flute and continued to follow the little girl.   Tang Xi kept walking along the way. In the end, except for the pair of puppets in her hand, she didn't buy anything else.   "This is for you, this is mine!"   After returning to the carriage, she gave one of the female puppets to Xie Cheng and waved at him.   Xie Cheng looked at her in confusion, but she smiled and whispered, "Lower your head."   Xie Cheng suddenly realized and lowered his head slightly.   Tang Xi patted his face and smiled, "If you accept my puppet, it will belong to me. From now on, you are not allowed to be indecisive."   "My sister?" Xie Cheng was speechless for a while, and took her hand with a slightly raised corner of his lips, "You said it, I hope this sister won't deny it after she sobers up."   Tang Xi smiled and let him pull her back to the carriage.   Mo Yi gloated at Tang Xi, who was so drunk that she didn't know what was going on.   However, it was a pity that she was lucky enough to have her master be married to her for life without knowing anything.   Tang Xi had forgotten about this matter when she woke up the next day, but she was stunned when she saw the extra things on the table.   She called Zao Ying and Zao Yan and asked where the things came from, but they looked at her in shock.   "Miss Tang, do you really not remember it?" Zao Ying asked.   "Remember what?" Tang Xi was confused. She couldn't remember anything except that she felt a little headache.   Zao Ying said, "You drank too much in Qin's mansion yesterday, and it was City Lord Xie who helped you back."   "Ah?" Tang Xi was stunned and forced a smile, "Are you kidding?"   "We are not kidding," Zao Yan said, "It was still me who opened the door for City Lord Xie."   Tang Xi closed her eyes and held her forehead, "How could this be?"   She covered her head and tried to recall what happened yesterday, but found that except for the part in Qin's mansion, she had almost no impression of the rest.   "Ahem - that... I didn't vomit yesterday, did I?" She asked cautiously.   "I didn't vomit, it's just..."   Halfway through the conversation, both of them blushed.   Seeing their expressions, Tang Xi's eyes widened instantly, "I didn't... force City Lord Xie, did I?"   Zao Ying shook her head, "No, you just pinched City Lord Xie's face to make him listen to you."   "Ah?" Tang Xi shuddered with fear and almost fell off the couch, "I... what else did I say?"   "Nothing else!" Zao Yan said, "You fell asleep afterwards."   "It's okay!" Tang Xi patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.   She glanced at the cloth toy on the table and hesitated, "This... was bought by me?"   The two nodded, "City Lord Xie said that you bought it for your younger brother at home."   "Oh!" Tang Xi nodded.   "Oh, right!" Zaoyan took a box from the side, "This is what City Lord Xie asked the servants to give to you this morning."   "For me?" Tang Xi was puzzled. She took it and opened it, but saw a male puppet lying on the side, "Is this mine?"   Why did she buy this thing? And she bought a male puppet? What did she do yesterday?   "City Lord Xie said it's yours and asked you to keep it." Okay   !   Tang Xi smiled at the two of them, got up, washed and had breakfast, took a look at the cloth toys and puppets, and asked Zaoying to find a wooden box to pack up the things.   At noon, Lu Xin suddenly visited, saying that the wife of the Marquis of Anding wanted to see her.   When the two arrived at the courtyard of the Marquis of Anding, Xie Ling and his female relatives were already waiting there.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 175 Liu Yiyue   "Are you feeling better?" Xie Ling asked with a smile.   Tang Xi nodded, "Yeah, much better!"   She didn't know what she did after getting drunk. It seemed that she would have to ask Xie Ling about it later.   The wife of the Marquis of Anding smiled and said, "Miss Tang is here, please take a seat."   Tang Xi bowed slightly and then took a seat next to Lu Xin.   "Are you the little genius doctor?" A lady dressed in noble clothes looked at her and asked with a smile.   Tang Xi nodded slightly to the lady, "I don't dare to be a genius doctor. If you don't mind, you can call me Miss Tang."   The wife of the Marquis of Anding said, "This is Madam Liu, my childhood friend. I came here today because I want to ask Miss Tang for a favor."   Tang Xi nodded slightly, "Please go ahead!"   Upon hearing this, the wife of the Marquis of Anding winked at the nanny behind her. The nanny understood and took all the maids away.   Xie Ling and Lu Xin also stood up and left. When Tang Xi saw this scene, her heart skipped a beat.   A pretty woman, supported by a little maid, came from behind the screen.   "Yiyue greets the wife of Marquis Anding and the little miracle doctor!"   After the greetings, the woman sat down next to Madam Liu and called her mother softly.   Madam Liu looked at the woman and sighed slightly. She said to Tang Xi, "This is my daughter. She has been married for two years, but she still has no pregnancy. Her in-laws are urging her to take a concubine for my son-in-law. If we don't agree, they will divorce her."   After hearing this, Liu Yiyue shed tears silently.   Madam Liu sighed again, "We have only one daughter in the Liu family, and we cannot allow others to bully her. However, if we have no children, it means we have violated the seven grounds for divorce. Even if others want to take a concubine, we are powerless to stop them!   I heard that the little genius doctor now lives in the Anding Marquis Mansion, so I asked my sister to ask the little genius doctor to help my daughter to see what is going on."   "Little genius doctor, please help my girl, please!"   The little maidservant on the side suddenly knelt down, and Tang Xi raised her feet in fear.   She hurriedly got up and helped the maidservant up, "I am just helping, you don't need to be so polite."   After hearing this, the little maidservant burst into laughter, "Thank you, little genius doctor!"   Tang Xi smiled slightly, and Madam Liu was also happy, "It's great that the little genius doctor agreed!"   She also thought that at such a young age and with such medical skills, her temper would be a little worse than ordinary people, but now it seems that she thought too much, the little girl looks much more amiable than she imagined.   "Please sit here!"   The little maid invited her to sit next to the woman.   After Tang Xi sat down, she motioned for the woman to stretch out her hand.   While taking the pulse, everyone unconsciously slowed down their breathing.   Tang Xi frowned slightly, "The girl's body doesn't have any problems."   "How could it be?" Madam Liu frowned, "If there is no problem, why is there no movement in your stomach?"   This is the tragedy of women in this era. When there is a problem, no one thinks that it is the man's problem.   Tang Xi smiled, "Sometimes, this kind of thing is not always the woman's problem."   "This..." Madam Liu was puzzled, "The little doctor is saying that this is not my daughter's problem?"   Tang Xi said: "This girl's body is indeed fine, as for whether other people are okay, I don't know."   Several people in the room looked at each other, and Madam Liu suddenly snorted, "What a good Xu family, blaming my daughter for their own son's problems."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 176 Knowing Only the City Lord   Liu Yiyue said nervously: "Mother, A Jing has never blamed his daughter!"   "How could I not know?" Madam Liu sighed lightly, "If he hadn't treated you well, mother would have decided to divorce you long ago. Why would it drag on until now?"   "Little doctor, can you help my husband!" Liu Yiyue pulled Tang Xi's sleeve and said, "As long as you are willing to help, our Xu family will never treat you unfairly!"   Tang Xi glanced at the wife of the Marquis of Anding, but heard her say, "Miss Tang, for Ling'er's sake, can you do Madam Liu this favor?"   Tang Xi smiled, "Since the wife of the Marquis of Anding said so, how can I refuse?"   Madam Liu and Liu Yiyue were overjoyed after hearing this, and hurriedly stood up to thank her.   Tang Xi did not go to see the patient in person, but wrote a prescription and gave Liu Yiyue a small porcelain bottle of spiritual spring water, and said in a low voice: "Boil a dose of medicine three times a day. When boiling the medicine, drop one or two drops of this into the medicine. In less than half a month, you should be cured."   She did not give many spiritual spring water to others. If you count by drops, there are at most twenty drops here.   "Ah?" Liu Yiyue was a little worried, "Won't the little doctor go with you to take a look?"   Prescribing medicine without even examining the disease, isn't it unreliable? Everyone in the room was a little worried.   "Don't worry, there will be no problem." Tang Xi smiled, "If you still don't hear good news in half a year, you can come to Hanshui City to find me."   The medicines she prescribed were all for that purpose, and with the power of the spiritual spring water, if Xu Jing still had no future, it would not be her fault.   Madam Liu took Liu Yiyue's hand and said, "Yue'er, since the little doctor said so, then you can boil the medicine according to this method."   "Miss, don't you believe me?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "If you don't believe it, you don't have to use it."   "No, no!" Liu Yiyue blushed and waved her hands, "Yiyue didn't mean that, little doctor, don't misunderstand!"   Tang Xi smiled slightly, "In that case, then I will withdraw first."   She was still thinking about what happened last night, and she had to go to Xie Ling to ask.   "Little doctor, wait a minute!"   Madam Liu stopped her, walked up, and stuffed a purse into her hand, "No matter what the result is, I have to thank the little doctor for treating my daughter today."   "Madam, you are polite!" Tang Xi returned the purse and smiled, "You are a close friend of the wife of the Marquis of Anding, so forget about these."   She was now living and eating for free in the Marquis of Anding's mansion, and she really felt a little guilty.   "How can that be?" Madam Liu disagreed, "You have to accept this."   Madam Anding Hou said with a smile, "Miss Tang, just accept it, let her feel at ease."   Tang Xi understood after hearing this. It was human nature that people would always feel uneasy when using free things, especially when they were related to their lives.   "Thank you, Madam Liu!"   Tang Xi accepted the purse, nodded slightly to the others, and then turned and left.   When she came out, she saw Xie Ling sitting alone in a pavilion not far away.   "Why is there only the Crown Prince's Consort? Where is Miss Lu?" Tang Xi was curious.   "She went out for something." Xie Ling smiled slightly, "Sit down."   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Are you waiting for me here on purpose?"   "Just now I saw you looking at me with hesitation, I guess you have questions to ask." Xie Ling motioned her to take a seat, then smiled and said, "I have told Manxiang to watch, no one will come near here, ask if you have anything to ask."   "Uh... yesterday... I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, did I?" After asking, Tang Xi felt a little hot on her face.   Xie Ling shook his head, "No, but my temper is worse than usual."   "Ah?" Tang Xi was stunned, "I didn't curse at anyone? Or, did I hit anyone?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 177 I only know that the truth comes out after drinking   "I was just kidding you!" Xie Ling chuckled, "I didn't do anything, I just didn't recognize people after I got drunk, and I only recognized Ah Cheng."   "Really?" Tang Xi was stunned, "I only recognized the city lord?"   "Yeah." Xie Ling nodded and smiled, "You didn't even recognize Madam Ji."   Tang Xi held his forehead, feeling so embarrassed, "What happened next?" "   Next?" Xie Ling shook his head, "You shouted that you wanted to go home, and Ah Cheng took you away, so I don't know what happened next."   "Is that so?" Tang Xi smiled awkwardly.   It seems that asking Xie Ling won't get anything out of her. I guess she will have to ask Mo Yi about this. If she asks Xie Cheng directly, she will be embarrassed to death, right?   After parting with Xie Ling, Tang Xi went to the outer courtyard and asked a few young servants in the Anding Marquis's Mansion, and only then did she know which direction Xie Cheng lived.   When she arrived at that courtyard, she was told that Xie Cheng and Mo Yi had already left the mansion with Lu Huai.   She could only return to her room in a depressed mood.   Zaoying and Zaoyan were a little worried about her, but they didn't dare to ask.   In the past few days, people kept coming to the Anding Marquis's Mansion, all of them came to ask Tang Xi for help to treat some difficult and complicated diseases. Tang Xi was not stingy and prescribed all kinds of medicines. Of course, the rewards were not small.   It was not until the morning of the seventh day, which was the day to leave the capital, that Tang Xi finally saw Xie Cheng.   She heard Xie Cheng say to Xie Ling and Lu Huai: "I originally wanted to wait for Fan'er to come back and leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival, but I have something to do in Hanshui City and can't stay any longer!" Lu Huai   smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, there will be many opportunities to see Fan'er in the future, but it's more important to solve the important things."   Tang Xi lived in the Anding Marquis's Mansion these days, and she also knew who Fan'er was. He was the son of Lu Huai and Xie Ling. He was five years old. It seemed that he went to the valley to study with a master, so he rarely returned to the capital.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, looked at Tang Xi across the two of them, walked up to him and asked, "Have you packed everything?"   Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, I have packed everything!"   "Then let's go."   Tang Xi nodded, and said goodbye to Lu Huai and Xie Ling before climbing onto the carriage.   After Xie Cheng got on the carriage, the carriage slowly drove away from Anding Marquis's Mansion.   Tang Xi originally wanted to say goodbye to Sun Wei and Ji Changan, but Xie Ling said that they had already returned to Beisang City in advance, so she had to give up.   As soon as she left Anding Marquis's Mansion, Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng with an uncertain expression.   "That..."   "Hmm?"   As soon as she opened her mouth, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows.   "A few days ago... I didn't do anything out of the ordinary, did I?"   Xie Cheng pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes!"   "Ah?" Tang Xi's heart skipped a beat, "What did I do?   " Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Want to know?   " Tang Xi nodded repeatedly, "Yeah!"   Xie Cheng curled his lips, "Think about it yourself."   Tang Xi: ...   Sure enough, asking this guy is useless.   Why can't she remember what she did a few days ago?   Tang Xi scratched her head, looking distressed.   Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled silently. He took out a female puppet from somewhere and looked at it carefully, saying, "Although it's a bit rough, since it's a token of love, I will accept it reluctantly."   "Huh?" Tang Xi didn't react for a moment, "Did Lord Xie meet someone he likes?"   "Not really." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice, "It was just that a certain girl forced it on me, and threatened that if I accepted her puppet, I would be hers. I thought, since I'm going to get married in the future, it doesn't matter who I marry, so I might as well go with her."   Tang Xi was surprised, "Which girl is this? She's so domineering."   But why do these words sound a little familiar?   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 178 I like this puppet   She frowned slightly, and a certain picture flashed through her mind intermittently. She seemed to pat someone's face and said with a grin, "If you take my puppet, you will be my person from now on."   Tang Xi screamed in fear, her back pressed against the carriage, staring at the puppet in Xie Cheng's hand in disbelief.   Isn't that... a pair with the puppet that Zaoyan gave her?   Seeing her like this, Xie Cheng sneered and said with a smile: "You remembered? Sister-sister."   "Hehe, hehe--" Tang Xi slowly sat up, looked at Xie Cheng and said: "Well, people who are drunk always like to talk nonsense, you can't trust them."   Xie Cheng's slightly raised lips slightly retracted, and said in a light voice: "I only know that people speak the truth after drinking."   "Not everyone is like this." Tang Xi said awkwardly: "The city lord should not joke about this matter anymore."   Xie Cheng frowned, "Do you think I'm joking?"   "Isn't it?" Tang Xi put away her previous unseriousness and said seriously: "A person as high and mighty as the city lord should be matched with a big figure like the princess. I dare not think too much. If this joke ruins the reputation of the city lord, it will be my fault."   "You to me..."   "What?"   Xie Cheng just opened his mouth, and Tang Xi hurriedly looked up at him.   "Nothing." Xie Cheng smiled slightly and said nothing.   He actually wanted to ask her, is she really not interested in him?   However, it doesn't matter if the little girl refuses to admit it, he just needs to remember it in his heart. Want to escape after being a hooligan? How can it be that easy?   Anyway, the little girl hasn't reached the age of marriage yet, so there is no rush. Everything must be done in a gradual manner.   "Can you give that puppet back to me?" Tang Xi stared at the puppet in his hand and hesitated.   Xie Cheng frowned, "Why? Miss Tang likes to take back things she gave away?"   "No..."   "If it's not, then why do you want me to give it back to you?" Xie Cheng's slender white fingers gently stroked the puppet in his hand, and said in a light voice: "I like this puppet."   "Really?" Tang Xi coughed lightly, "Then I'll give it to you."   For some reason, she always felt a little weird when she saw Xie Cheng stroking the puppet.   ————   The next day after returning to Hanshui City, Tang Xi took Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao to say goodbye to the people in Xie's house.   It's a pity that Xie Cheng was not there. It seemed that he had gone out for something. Only Old Master Xie and Old Lady Xie were in the house.   "Are you leaving now?" The two elders were a little reluctant.   "Why don't we wait for Ah Cheng to come back and have lunch before leaving?" suggested Old Master Xie.   "No need!" Tang Xi shook her head. "I'll leave a letter for him. I'm really sorry to have bothered the Xie Mansion for so long!"   The old lady shook her head and smiled, "Don't feel embarrassed. In the future, you must come back to see us two old people often."   "Yes!" Old Master Xie nodded. "The door of our Xie Mansion will always be open for you. If there is anything you can't solve in the future, go to Ah Cheng. There is nothing he can't solve in Hanshui City."   Tang Xi smiled and nodded, and said a few more words to the two old people before leading them away.   "Sister, where are we going?"   Tang Xiao, who walked out of the door of Xie Mansion, was full of joy.   Tang Xi turned her head to look at the Xie Mansion and sighed softly. She didn't say goodbye to Xie Cheng. She always felt that something was missing.   Forget it. We are all in Hanshui City. Maybe we will meet often in the future. It's not too late to talk about it then.   Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said to Tang Zheng and Tang Zheng: "Let's go, let's go find a carriage first."   Tang Xi didn't know where to find a carriage, so she could only lead the two to Jimin Hall to ask Wu Tong for help.   Wu Tong quickly found a carriage for her.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 179 Who else could it be?   After Tang Xi thanked Wu Tong, she took Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao to the carriage and left the south of the city, heading towards the farm.   The first thing Xie Cheng did when he returned to the mansion was to hear the old lady say that Tang Xi and her family had left the Xie mansion.   He nodded slightly, without much reaction.   He had long guessed that the little girl would leave after she came back this time, but he didn't expect that she would leave so quickly, and she didn't even say hello to him.   He has something to do now, and he doesn't know how he can see the little girl again.   "How is it? Has the person been caught?" asked Old Master Xie.   "No." Xie Cheng shook his head.   Old Master Xie frowned, "This man is really bold. He dared to rob people in Hanshui City."   "I heard that the man is very skilled in martial arts. You have to be careful." Old Lady Xie said worriedly, "I don't know where the thief came from. He is so bold." Aunt Jiang   said with regret, "It's a pity for the girl from the Wang family. She was going to get married in a few days, but she didn't expect to encounter this incident. Now she is gone. I don't know when the murderer can be caught."   "Yes!" Old Lady Xie sighed lightly, "I have seen that child before. Although she is a little spoiled and has a bad temper, it's a pity that she is gone just like that."   A big thing happened in Hanshui City recently. Wang Zhiling, the eldest daughter of the owner of the Wang family rice shop, was about to get married, but she was defiled by the thief while sleeping in the middle of the night. In the end, she hanged herself because she couldn't bear the humiliation.   Boss Wang was extremely sad and reported to the government office, asking the government office to investigate the matter, hoping to catch the rapist and avenge his daughter.   ————   Tang Xi brought Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao into the farm, both of them were curious.   "Sister, where is this?" Tang Xiao hid behind her a little stiffly.   "Girl!"   Su Xiaoguo, who was weeding in the vegetable garden, heard the voice and turned around. When she saw Tang Xi in the lead, she was overjoyed.   Tang Xi smiled at her, "Sister Xiaoguo, why are you still squatting here in such a cold day?"   "I'm pulling some weeds."   Su Xiaoguo looked at Tang Xiao and Tang Zheng and said with a smile, "I guess these two are the master and the young master, right?"   "Yeah!" Tang Xi nodded, "Where's Nanny Qin?"   Su Xiaoguo smiled, "My mother went to cut grass for the pigs."   "Cut grass for the pigs?" Tang Xi puzzled, "Didn't the pigs all go away?"   "Don't you know, young lady?" Su Xiaoguo was surprised, "The day after you came to the farm, someone sent a batch of poultry and livestock here. My mother and I thought you had someone send them."   "No!"   Tang Xi looked confused, "Don't you know who sent them?"   Su Xiaoguo said, "It was the shopkeeper who was originally responsible for delivering things to the Xie Mansion. I thought you bought them and asked him to send them."   Hearing this, Tang Xi knew without thinking who sent them. She smiled slightly, "I think I should know who sent them."   Who else could it be except Xie Cheng?   Su Xiaoguo wrapped her coat and said to Tang Xi, "Miss, please take the master and the young master into the house. It's very cold outside."   "Okay." Tang Xi nodded, "Then I'll take them back first."   After entering the lobby, Tang Zheng was confused: "Who is that girl? Why does she call me and Axiao the master and the young master?"   After Tang Xi put her things away, she explained, "She is the daughter of Nanny Qin, and Nanny Qin is the manager of this manor."   "Manager of this manor?" Tang Zheng was puzzled, "Then why does she call me master?"   "Because, from now on, this manor belongs to our Tang family."   "Ours?" Tang Zheng was shocked, "You not only bought a shop, but also a manor?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 180 Old Friend   Tang Xi patiently explained, "This farm is the reward for my treatment of Old Lady Xie, and the shop was bought with money."   "You are really promising!" Tang Zheng smiled with relief, and then sighed, "It's your mother's fault that she is unlucky, otherwise, she could enjoy the happiness with us."   "Sister, when will we bring grandpa and grandma over?" Tang Xiao asked, holding her hand.   "Soon!" Tang Xi smiled slightly, "Sister has made a lot of money this time in Beijing. After the shop is renovated, sister will buy a piece of land nearby, build a big yard, and then bring grandpa and grandma to live together, and buy a few people to serve you."   Tang Xiao jumped for joy, "Great!"   Tang Xi looked at Tang Zheng and said, "Dad, your room is in the east wing, Xiao's is also in the east wing, and I live in the west wing."   "Do I have a room too?" Tang Xiao asked.   "Yes!" Tang Xi smiled and nodded, "I'll take you to the school when my sister finishes all her work."   Tang Xiao nodded, "Okay!"   "Okay, take your things and I'll take you to the east wing."   It wasn't far, just a hundred steps, but Tang Xi still took them there in person and pointed out the room to them.   At lunch time, Nanny Qin finally came back. After hearing that Tang Xi's family had come, she hurriedly pulled Su Xiaoguo over to greet them.   "Sister Qin?"   The moment Tang Zheng saw Nanny Qin, he was stunned.   "You are... Brother Tang Zheng?" Nanny Qin was shocked. "Why are you here?"   "Is it really you?" Tang Shi was surprised. "I didn't expect to see you in Hanshui City."   "Ah--" Nanny Qin sighed lightly. "Back then, I married Xiaoguo's father. In order to purchase goods, I followed him around the country. Later, when I arrived in Hanshui City, I had Xiaoguo and settled down there. But who knew that the child's father was short-lived. Xiaoguo died of illness not long after he was born." She glanced at   Su Xiaoguo and said helplessly, "I am a woman who is powerless and holding a baby who is only a few months old. I have nowhere to go. I was too ashamed to go back to my mother's family, so I begged on the street for several days. It was the city lord's wife who took pity on us and allowed us to enter the Qin Mansion. Later, I was sent here to be the manager."   Tang Xi sighed secretly. She didn't expect that Nanny Qin and Tang Zheng were from the same village.   Tang Zheng said, "Uncle Qin and Aunt Qin passed away a few years ago."   "Gone?" Nanny Qin's eyes reddened and she smiled bitterly, "I am so ashamed of them. If I hadn't insisted on marrying a rootless peddler, I wouldn't have missed seeing them for the last time."   "As for the rest of the Qin family, it seems that they have..." Tang Zheng stopped talking halfway.   He believed that Nanny Qin could understand.   "It's all fate..." Nanny Qin wiped her tears, shook her head and sighed.   She seemed to remember something, and looked at Tang Xi in shock and said, "The girl is not the daughter of Brother Tang, is she?"   "That's right! She is my eldest daughter, Tang Xi." Tang Zheng said, and then pulled Tang Xiao over and said, "This is my youngest son, Tang Xiao."   "I never thought that Brother Tang's daughter is so amazing!"   Nanny Qin never thought that Tang Xi was Tang Zheng's daughter.   "Looking at the way you are dressed, is the sister-in-law that Brother Tang married a girl from a wealthy family?"   "No!" Tang Zheng shook his head, "Their mother is just from a small village in Lianhua Town, and she is an ordinary person like us."   "Really?" Nanny Qin nodded, "Then... why haven't I seen the sister-in-law?"   Tang Zheng sighed, "She died of illness four years ago."   (End of this chapter)
