Chapter 31 Admit

"Tell me, what should I do to reveal Yan Miaomiao's true face?" Sun Wei was a little anxious.

Tang Xi said: "Actually, I have a simple suggestion, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."

Sun Wei said: "Tell me quickly!"

"That is..." Tang Xi looked at her and said: "Ask her in private."

The reason why she made such a suggestion is that she felt that Yan Miaomiao was not a bad person.

"Ask her?" Sun Wei frowned, "Will she admit it?"

"I don't know either." Tang Xi said: "I don't think she is a liar. If she denies it after you ask, then make another plan. But if she is silent or agrees, then ask her the reason."

Of course, it doesn't matter whether Yan Miaomiao says the reason or not. After all, it is already very obvious.

"Is this method really feasible?" Sun Wei said, "Even if she admits it, but Changan doesn't listen to me, won't she think I slandered her?"

Tang Xi said, "I have a way."

"What is it?" Sun Wei asked.

Tang Xi whispered a few words in her ear, and Sun Wei hesitated after listening, "Is it feasible?"

Tang Xi smiled and said, "You do yours, and leave the rest to me."

"Okay!" Sun Wei nodded.

As long as she can resolve the misunderstanding between her and Changan, she can do anything.

During dinner, Yan Miaomiao received a letter from Sun Wei, saying that she was asked to go over in advance to help.

Yan Miaomiao frowned slightly, she wanted to refuse, but Sun Wei was the young lady of the Ji Mansion after all, and she was just an outsider no matter how long she lived there.

Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"Miss, are you going?" Her personal maid Lvliu said, "I always feel that something is wrong with this matter."

"You think too much." Yan Miaomiao said indifferently, "What can she do?"

"Go now?" Lvliu asked.

"Yes." Yan Miaomiao stood up and said, "Let's go."

Lvliu looked at her and hesitated to speak, but in the end she just sighed silently and followed her out silently.

When Yan Miaomiao arrived, there were only Sun Wei and Cuizhu.

As soon as she arrived, she heard Sun Wei say, "Cuizhu, take Lvliu to the kitchen to check out the dinner first. I have something to say to my cousin."

"Yes!" Cuizhu nodded.

Lvliu glanced at Yan Miaomiao, and when she saw her nod, she followed Cuizhu and left.

Yan Miaomiao looked at Sun Wei and asked calmly, "I wonder what does my cousin want to tell me?"

Sun Wei looked at her in silence for a long while, and finally said calmly, "You like Chang'an."

Yan Miaomiao suddenly looked up at her, and after a while, she suddenly smiled and said, "That's right."

Sun Wei didn't expect her to admit it so readily, and she was stunned first.

"Did you instruct Su Mei to pour hot tea on me?"

"No." Yan Miaomiao looked at her and said, "Su Mei heard that her aunt said she would take her into her cousin's room, and she saw that her cousin treated you very well. She was afraid that you would steal her limelight in the future, so she had other ideas. Her original intention was to make her cousin think that you were a jealous woman, and then hate you and stay away from you."

Sun Wei frowned, "Then why was Chang'an with you that day?"

"Coincidence." Yan Miaomiao said, "It was my aunt who found my cousin that day. I just ran into him when I went to pay my respects to my aunt."

"Okay." Sun Wei nodded, "Since you didn't do this, what about those girls who gathered behind to discuss how to seduce Chang'an?"

Yan Miaomiao was stunned for a while, and nodded after a long while, "I did ask them to do it."

 Chapter 32 The Truth

  "Heh--" Sun Wei smiled bitterly, "You admit it so readily."

  Yan Miaomiao said in a calm voice: "If I did it, I admit it. If I didn't do it, I won't admit it."

  "What about your original intention?" Sun Wei felt her eyes sore and her voice was choked.

  She didn't care that she was a wicked woman who had been rumored for a year. What made her most uncomfortable was Ji Changan's misunderstanding of her.

  Yan Miaomiao was silent for a moment and said: "Of course it's the same as Su Mei."

  She liked Ji Changan and didn't want to calculate it. However, Su Mei's matter made Ji Changan feel a little uncomfortable with Sun Wei, and she was just adding fuel to the fire.

  She wanted to fight for herself once, and she admitted that she was selfish.

  Sun Wei closed her eyes, calmed down, and then asked again: "Does your mother-in-law know that you did all this?"

  Yan Miaomiao nodded, "Yes."

  "No wonder." Sun Wei smiled with tears in her eyes: "No wonder she is in a hurry to find a husband for you."

  Everyone knew, but she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

  "I like my cousin." Yan Miaomiao said, "I have liked him since I was a child, because, in this world, apart from my aunt, he is the only one who treats me with his heart."

  "So?" Sun Wei asked in a hoarse voice.

  Yan Miaomiao looked at her and said, "I once secretly swore that I would not marry anyone other than my cousin in this life. As long as I can be with him, even if I am a concubine, I am willing."

  Outside the door, Lu Huai looked at Ji Changan awkwardly, Tang Xi stood aside without saying a word, and Xie Cheng stood aside with his arms folded across his chest, with a hint of teasing in his starry eyes.

  Ji Changan closed his eyes slightly, then raised his hand to push open the door and walked in.

  The two people in the room seemed to have not expected him to come in, and they were stunned at the same time.

  Sun Wei looked at Tang Xi with confusion in her eyes.

  Tang Xi clearly told her that she would use the excuse of going to Xie Cheng to discuss something, and then pretend to pass by here.

  With Xie Cheng there, even if Yan Miaomiao denied it in the future, there would be witnesses, but she didn't expect that Tang Xi would not only bring Xie Cheng, but also Ji Changan.

  After Yan Miaomiao came back to her senses, she bowed calmly, "Cousin."

  Ji Changan glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Sun Wei and said, "Are you wronged?"

  "Yeah." Sun Wei nodded. After all, she was ignored by her husband for a year. How could she not feel wronged?

  Ji Changan hugged her and whispered, "I'm sorry!"

  It's not that he hadn't thought about investigating, but the maid who was related to this matter didn't know where her mother had sent her. He couldn't find her no matter how hard he tried. Until now, he is still asking people to look for her. But

  he didn't expect that this matter would be related to Yan Miaomiao.

  "It doesn't matter." Sun Wei hugged him and cried and laughed, "As long as you are willing to pay attention to me, I won't blame you."

  Tang Xi shook her head and whispered, "Loving too humbly will lose yourself, which is not good."

  Xie Cheng felt a little funny in his heart, but he still said indifferently on the surface, "You are a little girl, do you know what love is?"

  Tang Xi glanced at him, "Don't look down on people."

  She was only thirteen years old in body, but twenty-three years old inside, four or five years older than him.

  "I'm sorry!" Yan Miaomiao said, "I have promised my aunt that I will get married after the refugee issue is resolved."

  She had also fantasized that one day in the future, Ji Changan would fall in love with her.

  However, she also knew in her heart that Ji Changan didn't love her before, and he would never love her in the future.

  This man is like this. He seems to care about everyone, but in fact, she knows in her heart that the people who can affect his emotions are the ones who are truly in his heart.

  She saw it from the moment Sun Wei married into the Ji Mansion, but she

  just didn't want to accept it. After all, she and he were childhood sweethearts, and Sun Wei was just a gift from heaven. She didn't expect that she, a childhood sweetheart, would eventually lose to Sun Wei, who was a gift from heaven.

  Ji Changan looked at her without saying a word. She bowed to the two of them, then turned around and left without looking back.

  (End of this chapter)

Chapter 33 Understanding   "You, don't blame her!"   Looking at Yan Miaomiao's departing back, Sun Wei said, "You are so good, and you grew up with her, it is normal for her to like you."   Ji Changan smiled gently, "You are generous."   "I am not generous, but I can understand." Sun Wei smiled at him, "If I were her, I would not be willing to see the person I like marry someone else."   "Okay." Ji Changan rubbed her head and said, "Move back to Chang'an Residence tonight."   Sun Wei was overjoyed when she heard this, crying and laughing at the same time, leaving everyone present speechless.   Yan Miaomiao was not present during dinner. When Ji Changjin came, he asked a question, and Sun Wei said that she was not feeling well and went back early. Ji Changjin believed it and did not ask again.   Tang Xi still admired Yan Miaomiao's character, she was daring and responsible, and she was self-aware.   She actually did nothing wrong, but she just loved the wrong person.   After dinner, when returning to Qingwei Courtyard, Sun Wei hugged Tang Xi and laughed for a long time.   Tang Xi looked helpless. She didn't expect that the problem would be solved so smoothly.   She smiled and said, "Now that everything has been solved, I should leave the Ji Mansion."   "You want to leave?" Sun Wei frowned. "Where will you live if you leave?"   Tang Xi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I won't let myself down."   "I still like you to call me Weiwei." Sun Wei smiled and put a purse in her hand. "Here is for you."   Tang Xi took it and opened it. She saw five silver bills on the side, all of which were denominations of one hundred taels. She couldn't help but frowned.   "It was agreed to be one hundred taels. You gave too much." Tang Xi handed the purse back. "I took fifty taels from you before. You only need to give me another fifty taels."   Although she was very short of money, she was still very principled. She would naturally take what she deserved, and she would not take a penny more than what she shouldn't take.   "If I had known you would do this." Sun Wei sighed lightly, "Okay, I'll give you fifty taels. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to Ji's house to find me."   Tang Xi nodded and said sincerely: "Thank you!"   "You're welcome. From now on, we are friends." Sun Wei took her hand, looked at her and smiled: "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know when the misunderstanding between Chang'an and I would be resolved."   "You're welcome." Tang Xi smiled: "After all, it's my duty to take money from others and help them get rid of disasters!"   "It's getting late, you can stay here tonight." Sun Wei said: "It's not too late to make a decision tomorrow morning."   "Okay!" Tang Xi nodded, "You should go over quickly too, Young Master Ji is still waiting for you."   Sun Wei blushed, glanced at her and said angrily: "I know, you should go to rest."   Tang Xi chuckled, then turned and went out. Under the guidance of the little girl, she returned to the villa.   After she came back, she did not fall asleep directly. Instead, she went into the space to read medical books for a while, and practiced acupuncture with a wooden man marked with acupuncture points.   This wooden man was also given to her by the space as a reward after she finished reading the medical books, and it was used for her to practice the Nine Silver Divine Needles.   System: "Warm reminder: When you practice acupuncture to the extreme, you will be rewarded with a set of life-saving magic skills."   "Life-saving magic skills?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "What is the extreme?"   System: "You can accurately determine the location of the corresponding acupuncture points with your eyes closed and insert the needles at the same time. This is the extreme."   Inserting needles with eyes closed? It is not difficult to know where the acupuncture points are. After all, she has almost memorized them these days. However, inserting needles with eyes closed may take some time.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 34 Leaving   The next day, Tang Xi left Ji's house after leaving two letters.   One of the letters was for Sun Wei, and the other was for Xie Cheng. The   letter to Sun Wei mostly contained some words of thanks and farewell, while the one to Xie Cheng left the address of the inn.   She was the vice president of the calligraphy association in college, and had participated in many calligraphy competitions and won many awards, so traditional Chinese characters were almost a piece of cake for her.   Xie Cheng looked at the letter in his hand for a long time without saying anything.   Lu Huai said in amazement: "I didn't expect that this Miss Tang is good-looking and writes so beautifully. If it weren't for Chang'an's testimony, I would have doubted her true identity."   That person also had this handwriting, and no matter how you look at it, it is really impossible to link her with the refugees who escaped from the small village.   "Interesting."   After a long time, Xie Cheng uttered these two words.   Lu Huai was shocked again. So far, Tang Xi is definitely the first person who can make Xie Cheng feel interesting.   "Hey, let me take another look."   He stretched out his hand to take the letter, but Xie Cheng dodged him.   Xie Cheng said nonchalantly, "You'd better not touch my things, otherwise, don't blame me if you get poisoned by accident."   Lu Huai retracted his outstretched hand instantly after hearing this. "Isn't it just a look? You're so stingy."   Xie Cheng glanced at him indifferently, folded the letter in his hand neatly, and then put it in his purse.   Lu Huai watched his series of actions with interest, and found it very interesting.   Xie Cheng said without raising his head, "I have to go out in a while."   "I understand." Lu Huai smiled ambiguously, "You say you dislike the girl's young age, but in fact, you are thinking about her in your heart, right?"   "Put away your wretched smile and improper thoughts."   Xie Cheng stood up and strode out the door.   Lu Huai shouted behind him, "You like to say one thing and mean another."   After Tang Xi left Ji's house, he went directly to the inn to find Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao.   This inn is considered ordinary in Beisang City. Even so, it costs three taels of silver a month.   "Sister!"   "Xiaoxi!" Seeing her come back, Tang Zheng was a little surprised, "Didn't you say you would be back in a while?"   Tang Xi rubbed Tang Xiao's head and whispered, "Things have been done in advance." "   That's good!" Tang Zheng said embarrassedly, "Have you had breakfast?"   Tang Xi nodded, "I ate on the street. Did you eat?"   "We did!" Tang Xiao looked at her and smiled, "We had a big bowl of noodles and meat. It was delicious."   "That's good!" Tang Xi pinched his nose and said, "Xiao, tell me what you want to eat. Sister will buy it for you."   "No need." Tang Xiao shook his head and said, "Dad said that it's not easy for sister to make money. She should spend it frugally."   Tang Xi glanced at Tang Zheng and said after a long while, "I opened another room next door. We will stay here for half a month and then leave."   "Where are you going?" Tang Zheng asked.   Tang Xi said, "Go to Hanshui City."   "Hanshui City?" Tang Zheng frowned, "What are we going there for?"   "Escape." Tang Xi said, "Not only us, all the refugees have to go."   "Why?"   Tang Zheng thought that they were just staying in Beisang City temporarily, and would go back home after the drought was over.   Tang Xi said, "It was an imperial decree issued by the emperor himself, saying that the national master observed the celestial phenomena and there would be no rain or snow in Luobian Town for a few years."   She was not sure whether it was true or not, but as the saying goes, it is better to believe it than not.   After all, she had encountered such an outrageous thing as time travel, and the conclusion drawn by the national master from observing the celestial phenomena was not impossible.   "So that's it!"   Tang Zheng was first enlightened, then regretful when he heard it.   After all, Luobian Town was his hometown, and there would definitely be regrets.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 35 The Truth   When Xie Cheng arrived at the eastern suburbs, Qing Yun was directing people to give porridge to the refugees.   Seeing him approaching, after being surprised, he hurried forward to greet him, "Why are you here, Lord Xie?"   "Come and take a look."   When Xie Cheng arrived, everyone's eyes were focused on him, and the refugees were whispering to each other, guessing his identity.   "Mom, he is the young master Ji, right?"   Jiang Ya's heart was pounding when she saw Xie Cheng's face.   Liu whispered, "I don't know."   "Mother, look at the man next to you, isn't that the driver who sent the dead girl away yesterday?" Jiang Ya stared at Qingyun and said, "Could that dead girl have hooked up with Young Master Ji?"   "It's not impossible." Jiang Ming said, "Tang Xi's current appearance is not inferior to those young ladies."   Jiang Ya glared at him and said to Liu, "Mother, if Tang Xi can do it, I can do it too!"   "Puchi——" Jiang Ming sneered, "Sister, although I don't want to discourage you, but you don't even look at what you look like and what Tang Xi looks like now. Don't say that you will be more beautiful than her if you become white. Before you fled, you were also quite white, but you didn't look that good."   "You——" Jiang Ya gritted her teeth.   Liu glanced at her, and then thought of Tang Xi last night, with a somewhat powerless expression, "Your brother is telling the truth."   Jiang Ya: ... Which side are they on? She was so angry!   She turned her eyes to look at Xie Cheng again, and the more she looked at him, the more dissatisfied she felt.   Why can Tang Xi marry such a handsome and high-ranking nobleman, but she can only queue up here for a bowl of porridge?   "Sister, don't be unconvinced. You should know yourself."   Jiang Ming is like this. He is honest, but he is not. He is a rogue, but he has never done anything rogue.   To put it bluntly, he is a bit straightforward and says what he means. When he was in the Tang family before, when Tang Zheng was not around, he saw Liu bullying Tang Xi and her brother too much, so he would say a few words to her.   However, most of the time, he has an attitude of not caring about it.   For example, when Tang Xi was left behind, he knew that his mother deliberately didn't call Tang Xi. Tang Zheng was holding the sleeping Tang Xiao at the time and didn't care much. Jiang Ming thought that Tang Zheng had acquiesced, so he didn't say much.   The three Lius were at the front of the line. Xie Cheng had sharp ears and eyes, and all the words of this family entered his ears.   He asked Qingyun, "Who are they to Tangxi?"   Qingyun followed his line of sight and saw that it was the three Lius, and then replied, "Stepmother and stepbrother and stepsister."   "Tangxi didn't take them away?" Xie Cheng asked again.   Qingyun looked at him in surprise and continued to reply, "They don't have a good relationship. It seems that they deliberately left the girl behind halfway."   Xie Cheng understood instantly after hearing this. Although they had been together for less than two days, he knew her personality to some extent. She was indeed the kind of person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment. Qingyun   looked at him and said, "Didn't Lord Xie bring Brother Moyi with him this time?"   Moyi was Xie Cheng's follower, and he always stayed with Xie Cheng. Qingyun was a little curious when he didn't see him this time.   Xie Cheng said, "Hanshui City has something for him to do."   Qingyun said, "I see that lunch time is almost here. City Lord Xie, do you need me to take you there?"   "I'm riding a horse." He glanced at Qingyun and said calmly, "I'm leaving."   Qingyun heard this and bowed and said, "Farewell, City Lord Xie!"   Xie Cheng turned around with his hands behind his back and strode away.   Seeing him leave, Qingyun instantly breathed a sigh of relief. When this big Buddha came, he felt like his lungs were going to freeze even when he breathed.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 36: Dining Together   After Xie Cheng left the eastern suburbs, he did not return to the Ji Mansion, but strolled along the street where Tang Xi gave him the address of the inn.   Here, Tang Xi was taking Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao to pick out two new clothes for them. As soon as they finished buying new clothes and went out, they ran into Xie Cheng.   "City Lord Xie?"   Tang Xi walked around him, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you here to see me?"   "No." Xie Cheng said calmly, "Just strolling around."   He was indeed strolling around.   "Have you eaten?" Tang Xi asked.   Xie Cheng said truthfully, "Not yet."   "Together?" Tang Xi asked tentatively.   "Yeah."   Tang Xi chuckled, and hurriedly pulled Tang Xiao, who looked curious, to follow.   Tang Zheng hesitated for a moment, and finally followed silently.   This time when he reunited with his daughter, he always felt that his daughter's personality had changed a lot. Now she has her own ideas about everything she does, and she is no longer as submissive as before.   Xie Cheng chose a nearby restaurant and asked someone to prepare a private room.   While serving the dishes, he looked at Tang Xi and said, "Lord Ji wrote to us last night, saying that we may have to leave Beisang City early. Is there anything else you haven't done?"   "I don't have anything else to do." Tang Xi said, "I can leave anytime."   Xie Cheng nodded, "Then you can pack up in two days."   Tang Xi nodded.   Seeing the delicious food served one after another, Tang Xiao couldn't help swallowing his saliva.   Xie Cheng glanced at him, picked up a chicken leg for him and said, "Eat if you want."   After that, he picked up another piece for Tang Xi, "You eat too."   Tang Xi was a little flattered, "Thank you!"   Tang Xiao glanced at Xie Cheng, then looked at Tang Xi, and saw her smiling and nodding, then he picked up his chopsticks.   Fortunately, Lu Huai was not there, otherwise he would definitely exclaim again.   When has Xie Cheng ever picked up food for others? Even Old Lady Xie has never enjoyed such an honor.   Tang Xi looked at Tang Zheng and said, "You should eat quickly too."   "Yeah!"   Tang Zheng nodded, and then he moved his chopsticks.   He would steal a glance at Xie Cheng beside Tang Xi from time to time, and always felt that the man in front of him was not an ordinary person. Even if he sat there without saying a word, his presence was still so strong that people could not ignore him.   He didn't know how his daughter could make friends with such a person, but he knew in his heart that this was no longer his daughter in the past.   After dinner, Xie Cheng separated from them downstairs in the restaurant.   Tang Xi returned to the inn, sent Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao back to the house, and then went back to the house herself.   In order to achieve that "life-saving magic skill", she has been practicing acupuncture with closed eyes recently. Although she has not succeeded yet, she has made some achievements. At least, the error rate is not as high as before.   "Oh, you're back?"   As soon as Xie Cheng walked in, he saw Lu Huai looking at him with a gossipy look on his face.   "Yeah."   He responded lightly and walked to the tea table and sat down.   "Have you had lunch?" Ji Changan picked up the empty cup, poured tea and handed it to him.   Xie Cheng answered the call and said, "I have used it."   Ji Changan smiled, "I heard from Qingyun that you went to the eastern suburbs?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "I went to take a look."   "Ah?" Lu Huai's smile faded, and he frowned and said, "Aren't you going out to look for Miss Tang?"   He thought that Xie Cheng, this thousand-year-old dead tree, was about to sprout.   Xie Cheng glanced at him and drank his tea in silence.   Ji Changan said, "My father said that he may not be able to come back for a while, so I'll trouble you to take care of the refugees."   "I still say that before entering Hanshui City, you are not considered a member of my Hanshui City." Xie Cheng said, "So, no matter what happens on the way, it has nothing to do with Hanshui City."   Ji Changan nodded, "Of course, my Beisang City still has the ability to escort thousands of people."   Xie Cheng sneered, "You'd better pray that you don't run into the one from Dark Night City."   Ji Changan smiled, "I have no grudges against him, so he won't come to make me unhappy."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 37 You'll know only after you try   "That's right." Xie Cheng sneered, "He will only make me unhappy."   Ji Changan smiled gently, "After all, it's the revenge for killing my father, how can it be forgotten with a smile?"   "He doesn't understand." Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and stared at the teacup in his hand, thinking: "Ignorant people really live the happiest."   Ji Changan nodded in agreement, "That's natural, didn't you tell him?"   Xie Cheng didn't refute it after hearing this.   "When are we leaving?" Lu Huai asked Xie Cheng. Xie   Cheng said, "In two days, I will take Tang Xi back to see my grandmother in advance."   "Do you really believe that Miss Tang can cure my grandmother's illness?" Lu Huai raised his eyebrows and asked.   It's not that he doesn't trust Tang Xi, but he just thinks that the little girl is only half a year old and has limited abilities. Even if her medical skills are better than that of Doctor Shen, what does it matter?   The famous doctors that Xie Cheng had found before, all of whom had better medical skills than Doctor Shen, couldn't he cure them anyway?   Xie Cheng said, "I'll know if it works or not after we try."   He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he just felt that the little girl's words were trustworthy.   Since she could make a request, it means she is sure.   Tang Xi has been staying indoors since she came back from the restaurant. It was dinner time, but the door was still closed. Tang Zheng was a little worried.   "Dad, did my sister oversleep?" Tang Xiao raised his eyes, his bright eyes full of doubts.   "How about waiting a little longer?" Tang Zheng said, "Maybe your sister will come out in a while."   Tang Xiao nodded obediently, "Okay, Dad and I will wait for my sister!"   Tang Zheng looked relieved, "Good child!"   He used to work in the town for the livelihood of his family and rarely went back. Every time he went back, he would have a meal and leave again. He didn't care much about the two siblings, just thinking that they were healthy.   Moreover, when he went back, he heard Liu muttering about making new clothes for the two siblings. He didn't think much about it, and even took the initiative to give her money so that she could buy some good fabrics. However,   Tang Xi's attitude towards Liu now seems to be a little wrong.   With Tang Xi's personality, if Liu was really that good to her, she wouldn't be like this.   "Ah Xiao, Dad wants to ask you something." Tang Zheng looked at Tang Xiao and said, "Your mother...how does your Aunt Liu treat you?"   "Aunt Liu?" Tang Xiao's face turned pale and he shook his head repeatedly, "She hits people very hard. If my sister cooks slowly, she won't give us food. She also locks my sister in the woodshed. When I go to tell her, she beats me with willow branches, and my sister blocks it for me every time."   "What?" Tang Zheng was shocked and said in disbelief, "She also beats you?"   "Yeah!" Tang Xiao said with some fear, "If it wasn't for Brother Ming holding her back, she would have beaten my sister with a big stick and said she would break my sister's legs."   Tang Zheng was stunned. The last time Tang Xi was lost, Liu cried and said that she forgot about him in the rush to escape. He asked Jiang Ming to turn around, but halfway he heard people say that there were robbers and many people were dead. He was afraid of implicating his son and Liu and the others, so he could only grit his teeth and tell Jiang Ming not to return.   And along the way, Liu looked heartbroken again, and he really thought that she cared about Tang Xi very much. Now that he thought about it, Liu didn't forget about her at all, it was obvious that she had abandoned her on purpose.   "Dad, what's wrong with you?"   Seeing Tang Zheng's face pale and red, Tang Xiao was a little scared.   "What's wrong?"   Tang Xi just came over, and saw Tang Xiao climbed down from the chair and ran to her, "Sister, Dad doesn't know what's wrong!"   Tang Xi looked at Tang Zheng, but saw that his face was pale and his eyes were red, and his expression looked a little creepy.   "Axi, Dad is sorry for you!"   Tang Xi was startled when Tang Zheng suddenly grabbed her hand.   She pulled her hand back and looked at Tang Zheng with confusion, but saw that he had tears in his eyes and said, "Dad didn't know that she still beat you. Dad even thought she treated you very well. I'm sorry, it's Dad's fault. Dad didn't care about you well!"   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 38 Regret   Tang Xi is a perceptive person. As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was referring to Liu Shi. He was a little surprised.   So, it was not that Tang Zheng ignored the original owner's siblings because of Liu Shi's words, but because he thought Liu Shi treated them well?   "I didn't know she was such a person!" Tang Zheng said dejectedly: "Every time I go back, I see that she is very kind to you, so I think she is such a person."   Tang Xi sneered, "Who doesn't pretend?"   "It's because Dad doesn't know people well. I won't do it again in the future!" Tang Zheng wiped his tears and said: "When we get to Hanshui City, Dad will go out to find a job and will definitely be able to support you."   Tang Xi didn't know what to say. After all, the original owner was gone. Tang Zheng regretted it now, and the original owner couldn't see it.   However, she felt that the original owner was too timid. It was because she didn't dare to speak out that she was controlled by Liu Shi. Moreover, she always thought that Liu Shi bullied her and Tang Xiao because Tang Zheng didn't like them.   Later, she was abandoned by Liu Shi again, and she didn't see Tang Zheng coming back to find her, so she really thought that Tang Zheng didn't like her.   Thinking about it now, there seems to be some misunderstanding.   However, what's the point of talking about it now? The person is gone.   Strangely enough, after Tang Zheng said this, the last bit of depression in her heart also dissipated. Thinking about it, the original owner must have really let it go.   She looked at Tang Zheng, sighed in her heart, and said in a light voice: "Let's eat, Xiao should be hungry."   "Axi, can you, can you forgive Dad?" Tang Zheng looked at her expectantly.   Tang Xi nodded, "I don't blame you."   She didn't know how she said this.   Forget it, just say it for the original owner.   Tang Zheng was happy, looked at her, and then looked at Tang Xiao who looked confused, and smiled and said: "Sit down and eat."   Tang Xi nodded, she carried Tang Xiao to the chair, and then sat down beside her.   "Come on, eat more."   Tang Zheng took the extra chopsticks on the side and kept picking up food for the two siblings. He didn't eat much, just looked at them and smiled foolishly.   Tang Xi put down her chopsticks helplessly, looked at him and said, "We can pick it up by ourselves, you can eat too."   "Oh, okay!" Tang Zheng responded, picked up the bowl and looked at the two siblings with a smile, then lowered his head to eat.   "Sister, is the big brother who looks good but doesn't like to smile today your friend?" Tang Xiao was very curious.   Friend?   Tang Xi smiled lightly, she was not qualified to be friends with the lord of a city now.   She looked at Tang Xiao and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Do you think he looks good too?"   "Good!" Tang Xiao nodded, "Sister is beautiful, big brother is good-looking."   "Really?" Tang Xi smiled happily, "Our Xiao is also good-looking."   Tang Zheng looks good, the original owner's deceased mother is also good-looking, and the daughter and son are naturally not bad, but they live in the countryside, either going to the fields or going up the mountains every day. After being exposed to the sun for a long time and malnourished, they look dark and thin, and their advantages are not visible.   The original owner's body was nurtured by her using the spiritual spring in the space for a month, but Tang Xiao has not recovered yet, and he is still dark, thin and small.   Tang Zheng used to work in the town, and he was not a dark-skinned man. However, he has become darker and thinner since he fled.   Tang Xi patted Tang Xiao's back and said, "Hurry up and eat. After you finish, I'll take you to the night market."   Tang Xiao opened his eyes wide and asked, "Then will Dad go?"   Tang Zheng suddenly looked up at Tang Xi, his eyes a little cautious.   Somehow, seeing Tang Zheng's eyes like that, Tang Xi suddenly felt a little sad.   She nodded and said, "Of course, I didn't buy anything this morning. I'll take you to go shopping later. Just tell me if you want anything."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 39 Visiting the Night Market   No matter how big the disaster was in Luobian Town, no matter how the people in the eastern suburbs lived, the night market in Beisang City was still brightly lit and bustling.   It was too late when we came back last night, and there was basically no one on the street. Seeing such a prosperous scene today, Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao were stunned.   "Sister, this place is really beautiful, and there are so many people."   The child's voice was full of excitement and yearning that could not be concealed.   Compared with Tang Xiao's excitement, Tang Zheng seemed a little restrained, "Hold your sister tightly, don't get lost."   "Yeah!" Tang Xiao nodded, "Xiao will hold sister tightly, and won't get lost."   "Good boy!"   Tang Xi smiled and rubbed his little head, and then led the two into the crowd.   The three of them strolled for a while, and Tang Xi bought two sets of ready-made clothes for Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao, and bought a piece of white cloth for himself, and then continued to stroll.   "What's wrong?"   Seeing that Tang Xiao didn't leave, but stared at the side, Tang Zheng was a little confused.   "Dad, that's called a rattle. I've seen it. Goudan in our village has one. It makes a dangdangdang sound when you shake it. It's so fun."   Tang Xi said with some sadness when he heard it, "Xiao, do you want one? Sister will buy you one."   "No need." Tang Xiao shook her head, "Xiao is six years old and doesn't want to play with this anymore."   Tang Xi smiled, got up and walked over. After a while, he brought back a rattle and handed it to Tang Xiao, saying, "It's just a few cents. Sister can still afford it."   "A few cents can buy several eggs." Tang Xiao said with a serious expression, "Sister, why don't you take it back and return it."   Although he also wanted to have a rattle, his father said that they had no money now and sister's money was all used to pay the rent. If they didn't save money, they would starve to death.   Tang Xi stuffed the rattle into his arms and said with a smile: "Take it. Sister never returns the things she buys. If you don't want it, then Sister can only throw it away."   Hearing that she was going to throw it away, Tang Xiao was so scared that he quickly hugged the rattle tightly, "I want it!"   Tang Xi laughed softly, but Tang Zheng felt extremely sad.   The child didn't even dare to ask for a toy, and now he has to rely on his daughter to support him. It's really useless.   "Xi, why don't you buy it for yourself?"   Tang Zheng saw that she only asked them what they wanted all the way, but she only bought a piece of cloth for herself, and couldn't help asking.   Tang Xi said: "I bought everything you need."   Tang Zheng saw that she didn't even have a decent hairband, and her hair was only tied into a ponytail with white cloth, and he couldn't help frowning.   "Girls should decorate themselves more."   Tang Zheng said, and there happened to be a stall selling headdresses next to him. He walked over and picked out two big red silk flowers. Tang Xi looked terrified.   "That, Dad, no need!" She hurried over and picked up a red hairband, "This, I'll just buy this."   What a joke, just looking at her was terrifying, and asking her to tie it on her head, it was scary to think about it.   Tang Zheng held the two big red silk flowers and said, "Little girl, it would be so beautiful to use this, really don't want it?"   Tang Xi shook her head in horror, "I prefer hairbands."   The silk flowers were as big as her head, and if she put two on, her head would be invisible.   Seeing her refusal, Tang Zheng had to put down the silk flowers and said, "Didn't you like silk flowers very much before? Dad remembers that when your mother was still alive, you cried and asked your mother to buy you one."   Tang Xi laughed dryly, "That was when I was a child, I'm grown up now."   "Does the girl want this?" the vendor asked.   Tang Xi nodded, "Yes, I want this."   The vendor said, "Two cents."   Hearing this, Tang Xi hurriedly paid the money and pulled Tang Xiao away from the stall.   Tang Zheng followed the two closely.   After Tang Xiao was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, the three of them returned to the inn.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 40: The Master is a Sword   It was hot and humid at night, and there were many mosquitoes. Even with a mosquito net, the buzzing sound still gave her a headache.   Tang Xi had no choice but to enter the space. Unlike the outside world, there was no day and night change in the space. It was always daytime. As soon as she entered, she thought it was dawn, and her sleepiness was gone.   She couldn't sleep, so she took out the Nine Silver Needles and continued to practice acupuncture with eyes closed.   After a day of training, she basically didn't make mistakes in the acupuncture points, but she didn't have a good grasp of the weight of the needle.   After practicing for about an hour, the voice of the system suddenly rang in her mind, "Congratulations on successfully completing the task of acupuncture with eyes closed. You will be rewarded with a set of life-saving magic skills and a Thousand Night Sword."   Tang Xi thought it would be a set of martial arts, and then let her learn it herself. Who knew that as soon as the system finished speaking, a warm current was instantly injected into her dantian, and then flowed along the tendons to her limbs. At the same time, a set of swordsmanship emerged in her mind.   In front of her, there was a delicate and elegant long sword floating. The hilt was silver-white with a circling white dragon carved on it, and the blade was glowing with cold white light.   Tang Xi raised her hand and just grasped the hilt of the sword, and the sword seemed to come alive and suddenly let out a dragon roar. She was startled and wanted to let go, but the sword seemed to be stuck to her hand, and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't let go.   Tang Xi was stunned and thought: Could this sword have become a spirit?   Before she could finish her guess, she was already being driven by the sword. At first, she was stumbling and twisting, and finally, she could only relax and let the sword lead her to dance.   It was not until later that Tang Xi realized that the sword was actually teaching her the set of sword techniques that had just emerged in her mind.   Tang Xi muttered, "So, my master is a sword?"   After going through the whole set of sword techniques, the sword stopped and obediently let her hold it in her hand.   The system said, "I wish you to learn the sword techniques as soon as possible and protect your talent."   Talent? Tang Xi raised her eyebrows.   She didn't think she had any talent to protect. Almost everything she had now was given by the space. If there was no space, she would have starved to death in this chaotic era.   Therefore, she wanted to save her life, but she wanted to protect the space, herself, and the relatives left by the original owner.   She turned the long sword in her hand, and practiced it again and again according to the sword technique that emerged in her mind.   System: "Warm reminder: If you practice this set of sword techniques well, the next reward will be the superb light skill."   Superb light skill? Tang Xi's eyes suddenly lit up, "What is superb light skill?"   System: "As light as a swallow, stepping on the snow without leaving a trace, the body is like a phantom, this is the superb light skill."   Hearing this, Tang Xi was instantly full of energy.   This legendary peerless magic skill, she had only seen it on TV in her previous life, and now she was about to have it, how could she not be excited?   So, she practiced swordsmanship all night long out of excitement and enthusiasm. When she came out of the space, it was already daybreak, and she appeared at the dinner table with a pair of panda eyes.   "Hey, Ah Xi, what's wrong with your eyes?" Tang Zheng was startled by her dark circles.   Tang Xi's skin is very fair now, so the dark circles under her eyes are particularly prominent.   She yawned, half-opened her eyes with tears in her eyes and said, "It's okay. There were too many mosquitoes last night and I just couldn't sleep."   Tang Zheng nodded, "There are a lot of mosquitoes, and the mosquito repellent incense doesn't work."   Tang Xi yawned again and asked, "Where's Ah Xiao?"   Tang Zheng said, "He just got up. You eat first. I'll go call Ah Xiao."   (End of this chapter)
