Chapter 91 Don't Dare "You shouldn't be busy now, right?" Mo Yi asked again. "Not busy, not busy!" The man said, "Our most urgent thing now is to find a way to sell the store." Mo Yi nodded, "Then come with me to Xie's Mansion." "Xie, Xie's Mansion?" The couple was shocked. The two looked at each other, and the man looked at Mo Yi and said, "But is it the City Lord's Mansion of our Hanshui City?" "What else?" Mo Yi chuckled, "Besides that Xie's Mansion, which other Xie's Mansion is there in Hanshui City?" "This... Can we go in?" Such a magnificent mansion, they felt shocked even standing outside the door. "Why not?" Mo Yi said, "Don't worry, Xie's Mansion doesn't eat people." "Haha, haha..." The man laughed dryly, "Little brother is really a joke." Mo Yi said, "Then let's go now." "Now?" The two looked at each other, and said a little stiffly, "I'm afraid it's not good for us to go in dressed like this?" After all, it's the City Lord's Mansion! Mo Yi put his arm around the man's shoulder and walked out, saying, "It's nothing. Our city lord is very easy to talk to." "City, city lord?" The couple's faces turned pale in an instant. "We are going to see the city lord?" "Yes." Mo Yi nodded. "It's the shop he asked me to find. Who else can I see if not him?" "No!" The man lowered his head and took his shoulder away from Mo Yi's hand. "The city lord is a god-like figure. If we dress like this, aren't we blaspheming him?" Mo Yi: ... I never thought that my master is still a god-like figure in the eyes of ordinary people. The woman said, "Little brother, let us go back and change into decent clothes first!" "...Okay." Mo Yi nodded. "You go, I'll wait for you here." When the two came back again, Mo Yi couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly. Are you sure you didn't buy this at a ready-made clothing store? "I'm sorry, little brother," the man straightened his clothes and said embarrassedly, "It's our first time meeting the city lord, we are a little nervous, so we dressed up a little slowly." "It's okay." Mo Yi said, "Can we go now?" "Sure!" The man said, "Please go first!" Mo Yi finally brought the two to Xie's house, but as soon as they reached the gate, they stopped again. "What's wrong with you two?" Mo Yi was a little helpless. "This... We still feel it's not right!" They never dreamed that one day they would be able to enter the city lord's house, and they were both nervous and looking forward to it. "What's wrong?" Mo Yi said, "Let's go, since we are here, let's go in, at least it's worth the trip." "Little brother, you are right!" The woman said, "Since we are here, let's go in." The man looked at the gate of Xie's house, then looked at Mo Yi, a little hesitant. Not wanting to waste time waiting for him to make a decision, Mo Yi directly pulled the man in, "Hey, hey! Little brother, walk slowly!" When the woman saw them go in, she also hurriedly trotted in. When they arrived at Moyuan Residence, they didn't see Xie Cheng. They asked the maid who was cleaning the house, but she said that Xie Cheng had just left with the prince. The couple's hearts, which had been beating rapidly, slowed down a little, but their expressions and movements were still very restrained. Mo Yi said, "You sit down for a while, I'll go get you some tea." "No, no, that's not necessary!" The two waved their hands at the same time, "We can just stand and wait!" "How can that be?" Mo Yi said, "You are here to discuss business today, and you will have to discuss the price with the Lord... the City Lord." The two shook their heads in fear at the same time, "Don't dare, don't dare!" (End of this chapter)
Chapter 92: High Efficiency When Xie Cheng came back, he was followed by two little tails. One was Lu Huai, and the other was Tang Xi. When they saw the three people, the couple, who had been persuaded by Mo Yi to take a seat, stood up again in an instant, looking at Xie Cheng who was walking towards them with a somewhat bewildered look. "Master!" Mo Yi stepped forward and whispered a few words in Xie Cheng's ear. Tang Xi poked out her round little head from behind Xie Cheng, and when she saw the couple looking at her, she immediately smiled at them with narrowed eyebrows. Xie Cheng stepped forward and said, "Please sit down, both of you." "Fuck, I greet the city lord!" The two stammered and saluted. "No need to be polite." Xie Cheng motioned for the two to take a seat, and then walked to the main seat and took a seat. The two walked to the gorgeous chairs nervously, and when they sat down, they did not dare to relax at all, and their buttocks only slightly touched the seat surface. Lu Huai sat down wisely, looking at the couple curiously. Xie Cheng looked at Tang Xi who was still smiling and said, "Didn't you say you were looking for a shop? I brought the person to you." Mo Yi suddenly realized what was going on. He said why did the master suddenly think of buying a shop? It turned out that he was looking for Miss Tang! "Found it?" Tang Xi's clear eyes lit up instantly, "Very efficient." Although I don't know what "efficiency" she means, I think it should be related to speed. "Are you two the owners of the shop?" Tang Xi stepped forward and asked with a smile. "Yes, yes!" Seeing the two of them were about to get up, Tang Xi waved her hand, "No need to get up, just sit down and talk." As she spoke, she sat down next to the couple, then smiled at them and said, "Can you tell me how big the shop is, where it is located, and what price you are going to sell it for?" The woman said, "The shop is not big. We used to sell rouge and powder. It is located in the center of the market. Don't worry, little girl, there is a lot of traffic there. This price..." The woman paused and looked at the man. The man understood and hurriedly said, "When we bought it, we spent 1,200 taels. If you really want to buy it, we can pay less. You can just give 1,000 taels." 1,000 taels? Tang Xi subconsciously touched her purse. Mo Yi said, "I've seen the shop. The location is good. Although the shop is not big, it is not small either. This price is indeed acceptable." "In that case, why do you want to sell it for no reason?" Tang Xi was curious. When the two heard this, they immediately looked sad. The man said, "An elderly person at home is sick, and I want to go back to take care of him. " Tang Xi nodded, "I see, is he seriously ill?" "Oh!" The man sighed, "I heard he is seriously ill." "I see, I want the shop." Tang Xi said, "I wonder if you could give me a detailed introduction to your father's condition?" The couple looked at her in confusion. In this world, you have to ask the reason before selling a shop? "She is a doctor." Mo Yi interrupted. The couple suddenly understood what he said, and the man said with red eyes, "He said he accidentally fell down, and now he doesn't recognize himself and can't speak." "So serious?" Tang Xi was surprised. "Ah!" The man sighed, "The old man is not in good health and can't stand the fall." "Meeting today proves that we are destined to be together." Tang Xi took out a small porcelain bottle of diluted spiritual spring water, handed it to the two of them and said, "Take this back and drip it into the medicine prescribed by the doctor. Boil it together, two or three drops each time, and try to take it." "This..." The couple looked at each other, hesitating whether to take it or not, and thinking in their hearts, can they trust the words of the little girl who has not yet reached the age of marriage? Will putting this in, what will happen to her? (End of this chapter)
Chapter 93 A Bright Future "Trust her." Xie Cheng said. Several people looked at him at the same time, but saw that his expression was indifferent, as if the two words just now did not come out of his mouth. "Since the city lord has said so, then I thank the girl!" The man took it with a smile. The little girl is unreliable, and Xie City Lord will never joke about human life, right? Tang Xi retracted his hand and smiled, then took out his purse and took out ten silver bills from it, "This is the money for the shop, a total of one thousand taels, you count it." "Oh! I believe the girl, I won't count it!" The man smiled and stretched out his hand to take it, but saw that she was reluctant to let go, and couldn't help but pull it twice with a little force. Tang Xi let go with tears in her eyes, and had to maintain a decent smile. She spent most of her belongings in a flash, and her heart ached. She thought of the box of silver from King Anyang, and her heart couldn't help but hurt even more. "I heard that it's the shop owned by the city lord, so we also brought the title deed." The woman took out the title deed and presented it to Tang Xi with both hands, saying, "Please take a look, young lady." "That's it?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Don't we have to go to the government office to register the name?" "Ah?" The couple looked at each other, bewildered. "Are you stupid?" Mo Yi said speechlessly, "Except for the government offices in each county, the rest of the three cities are managed by the city lord. If you want to register the name, you only need the master's seal." "Ah?" Tang Xi was stunned. So, the city lord of the three cities is a fourth-rank official like the prefect? "But, I didn't see a drum for complaining at the gate of Xie's house." In the TV series, aren't there drums outside the government offices? "Miss Tang, haven't you been to Hanshui City yet?" Lu Huai looked at Xie Cheng and laughed, "Ah Cheng, this is your fault." Xie Cheng glanced at him lightly, then looked at Tang Xi and explained in a low voice, "There is a government office in the east of the city." Mo Yi snorted , "Don't you think about it? Who would set up a government office in their own home? Isn't that asking for trouble?" Tang Xi: ...Okay, she is ignorant. She lowered her head and raised her hand, rubbing her nose with the back of her fingers to ease the embarrassment. After sending the couple away, Tang Xi couldn't wait to grab Mo Yi and let him lead the way to see the shop. This shop is in the center of the south city market, and there is indeed a lot of traffic. "What is the one opposite going to be used for?" Seeing the big shop opposite under construction, Tang Xi was a little curious. "Oh, that one," Mo Yi said, "It seems to be preparing to open a fireworks building." "Fireworks building?" "Yeah." Tang Xi's eyes were as bright as if they were lit up in an instant, "It's done! Hahaha——" Mo Yi: ...Is this guy not sick? "Ahem——" Tang Xi smiled slightly and grinned, "I'm sorry, I can't control myself for a moment." "Vulgar." Mo Yi crossed his arms, gave her a look of disdain, and kept a distance of several meters from her. "What's vulgar?" Tang Xi was unhappy when she heard it, "Don't you love money? Can you marry a wife without money? Can you afford to eat without money? Can you wear good clothes without money? Xie Cheng has spoiled you, don't you know that money is omnipotent?" "Don't talk nonsense." Mo Yi glared at her and said, "I bought all my things with my own money, and the master never gave me more." He earns ten taels a month, and after so many years, his wife should have saved enough. Tang Xi snorted softly, stared at the opposite side with burning eyes again, and the corners of her lips rose unconsciously. Selling beauty cream opposite the fireworks building, just thinking about it makes me feel that there is a bright future, one thousand taels is worth it! Hearing her make a "hissing" sound of sucking saliva, Mo Yi was frightened and trembled all over, and instantly showed a horrified expression. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 94 Prayer In early August, the refugees from Beisang City finally arrived at Hanshui City. Xie Ling left the city early in the morning and had people distribute porridge at the city gate. In addition to Xie Mansion, several other large mansions such as Qu Mansion and Anyang Wang Mansion also distributed porridge here for charity. Tang Xi didn't want to see the Liu family, so she declined Xie Ling's invitation to go out of the city with her on the pretext of having something to do. In addition to the Liu family, there was another relative of the Tang family. She was afraid of meeting them. She didn't know if they were still alive. If they were dead, it would be fine. If they were still alive, being entangled by those people would definitely be a nightmare. I didn't pay much attention when I was in the eastern suburbs of Beisang City, and I forgot to ask Tang Zheng. The second branch of the Tang family only had one son and one daughter, Tang Zheng and Tang Xiaohe. Mrs. Tang died early, and died of illness when Tang Xiaohe was six years old. Both of them were raised by Mr. Tang. Tang Xiaohe married far away in a coastal town and had not returned home for many years. The last time the original owner saw her was when Mr. Tang died, and she never saw her again after that. The original owner had no impression of this aunt. After all, Tang Xiaohe got married when the original owner was two years old, and when Mr. Tang left, the original owner was only four or five years old. He only vaguely remembered that this aunt didn't like Mrs. Mo, the original owner's biological mother, very much. She was always impatient when talking to Mrs. Mo, but she was okay with the original owner. When she came back, she would buy her food and clothes. When Mrs. Mo was still alive, she would always sigh unconsciously, saying that her fate was not right with her sister-in-law. Otherwise, why did Tang Xiaohe roll her eyes every time she saw her, but look at her daughter with pity? Let's not talk about Tang Xiaohe, let's talk about the big house of the Tang family, that is, Tang Xi's uncle's family. Mr. Tang and his wife Luo had passed away three years ago. They originally had two sons, but the younger son died at the age of five, leaving only the eldest son Tang Yong. Tang Yong has one son and two daughters. The eldest son, Tang Zhiyuan, has married and has children. The second daughter, Tang Shujuan, has married. The third daughter, Tang Shufang, is the same age as Tang Xi. Tang Yong's wife, Yang, is a powerful character. In the village, almost everyone near her home has been offended by her. She fights for everything with others. She takes possession of things that are obviously not hers. As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. Yang's two daughters are also powerful characters. From the original owner's memory, it is known that Tang Shujuan has quarreled with her parents-in-law several times since she married into her husband's family. She always runs back to her parents' home to complain about grievances. Wan brought her daughter to the door to ask for an explanation. It is said that once she almost broke her son-in-law's leg. It is said that the cause was that Tang Shujuan's husband Dong Yi cooked three eggs and gave them to his parents-in-law and son, but not to Tang Shujuan. She felt aggrieved, so she quarreled with Dong Yi. As a result, Dong Yi almost broke a leg because of an egg. Tang Shufang, like Jiang Ya and Liu, enjoyed bullying the original owner's brothers. She would push the original owner into a puddle or pull his hair. Or she would bring food to Tang Xiao and pretend to share it with him, but then she wouldn't give it back, causing Tang Xiao to cry every time. Anyway, they all had the same bad temper. As for Tang Yong and Tang Zhiyuan, they were okay, but they had no status in the family. Even Tang Zhiyuan's wife, Wan, was controlled by the three of them, the mother and daughter of the Yang family. Thinking of the extreme behavior of the mother and daughter of the Yang family, Tang Xi shuddered unconsciously. It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with the little ghosts. She only prayed that she would never meet these people again in her life. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 95 A Good Place "Sister, what are you drawing?" After Old Lady Xie recovered from her illness, Tang Xi moved in with Tang Zheng and Tang Xiao. Originally, she wanted to leave Xie's house directly, but Xie Cheng said that he still needed her help and could not let her leave for the time being, so she could only stay for a while. Tang Xi put down her pen, propped her head on the table with her elbows, and gently pinched Tang Xiao's round face with her other hand and smiled, "Sister is drawing the layout of a shop." "Shop?" Tang Zheng put down the broom and looked over curiously. Tang Xi sat up and said, "I made some money recently, so I bought a shop and wanted to renovate it." "You also bought a shop?" Tang Zheng was surprised and a little stunned at the same time. He really couldn't see through his daughter more and more. "Well." Tang Xi said, "In a while, we will leave Xie's house. When the time comes, I will take you to another place." Xie Cheng said that the manor was good. Even the place praised by Xie Cheng must be really good. "Where?" Tang Xiao asked with his round face tilted. Tang Xi smiled mysteriously, "A good place." "Then, when are we going?" Tang Xiao looked expectant. Tang Xi lightly scratched the tip of his nose and smiled, "Soon!" Tang Zheng looked at his daughter with a bright smile, and his emotions were a bit complicated. It seemed that his daughter had changed since they met again. She was no longer like before, lowering her head every time she saw him, and she didn't dare to call him too loudly, and she always spoke timidly. Now Tang Xi, whether she was talking or smiling, was generous and generous. She even didn't dodge her eyes when talking to him. On the contrary, the person she wanted to hide from was him as a father. If it weren't for that face and her meticulous care for them, he even suspected that the little girl in front of him was not his daughter at all. What on earth made her change so much? Was it because she was abandoned? Or, is this the real Tang Xi? Tang Zheng was puzzled. "By the way," Tang Xi looked at him and said, "I have something to ask you." It seemed that Tang Xi seldom called him dad since they met again. Perhaps, he was still bothered by the past. Tang Zheng sighed in his heart. However, he didn't know that the reason why Tang Xi seldom called him dad was because he was not used to it and it was a bit awkward to call him dad, so he simply didn't call him dad. "Go ahead." Tang Zheng said. "Did you run into your cousin's family when you were in the eastern suburbs of Beisang City?" "Yes." Tang Zheng nodded, "I saw them when I entered the city, but I didn't run into them after I went to the eastern suburbs." Sure enough, they are all still alive! If it was Tang Yong, Tang Zhiyuan, and the Wan family, it would be fine. If they were in trouble, she could support them. After all, the original siblings had received a lot of favors from them in private. When they had no food to eat, Tang Zhiyuan, Tang Yong, and the Wan family would often send food to the siblings. Although they were all small favors, they accumulated and became a great favor. However, she could not praise Yang's mother and daughter. Every time Yang saw them, she would either sneer or roll her eyes, and occasionally make some sarcastic remarks. Before, Tang Zheng had two acres of land close to their home, so Yang took it away. No matter how Tang Yong persuaded her, Yang refused to return it, saying that it was the land of the old Tang family and also theirs. In the end, Tang Yong had no choice but to secretly give Tang Zheng a few taels of silver as compensation. Tang Zheng didn't like farming, so he didn't care too much and took the money and left it at that. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 96 Qujing Seeing that she suddenly mentioned Tang Yong's family, Tang Zheng was a little curious, "Did you meet your cousin and his family?" "Today all the refugees from Beisang City have entered Hanshui City." Tang Xi stared at Tang Zheng without blinking when she spoke, but Tang Zheng was calm when he heard it. He asked, "I heard from the people in Xie Mansion that everyone will live in Zhongwang Village. Should we go there too?" "Yeah." Tang Xi nodded slightly. Xie Cheng said that the manor is close to Zhongwang Village, so it should not be far away. She suddenly became a little worried... "When are we leaving Xie Mansion?" Tang Zheng asked again. Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Don't you like it here?" Living here is much more comfortable than the days of fleeing, okay? "I'm not used to it after all, and..." Tang Zheng glanced at Tang Xiao and said, "Ah Xiao can only sit in the yard and be in a daze, which is very boring." Tang Xi also felt that it made sense. There was no child as old as Tang Xiao in the Xie family. He usually squatted under the tree in the yard to pick up fallen leaves, or squatted in the corner to pull weeds. He didn't communicate with others for a long time, which was really not good for the child. She looked at Tang Xiao for a long time, and suddenly asked with a smile: "Ah Xiao, do you want to go to school?" "Yes!" Tang Xiao nodded with bright eyes, "My eldest cousin went to school. My aunt said that people who study have a promising future. She said that my father has no future, and Xiao can't be allowed to study. He will be a failure in the future." Tang Zheng:... Wan Shi really said such a thing. Tang Xi glanced at Tang Zheng, and then smiled at Tang Xiao: "Then sister will let Xiao be a promising person, okay?" Tang Xiao nodded excitedly, "Okay!" Tang Xi smiled, "So good!" "Miss Tang, the master is looking for you!" Mo Yi stood at the door and reported with an unwilling expression. "What does the city lord want me to do?" Mo Yi smiled and nodded to Tang Zheng, then smiled at Tang Xiao, then looked at Tang Xi, suppressed his smile and said: "I don't know, let you go." Tang Xi looked at him suspiciously, and finally had to stand up and said: "Let's go." "Will my sister come back?" Tang Xiao stared at her with a pair of wet eyes, full of expectation. Tang Xi's heart softened, and she smiled softly: "My sister will come back." "Your brother is really cute." Mo Yi said. "That's it!" Tang Xi looked proud, "Don't you see whose brother he is." Mo Yi:... (¬_¬) As soon as the two entered Mo Yuanju, they saw that in addition to Xie Cheng and Lu Huai, there was also a man of the same age as Lu Huai. The man looked ordinary, but his clothes and dress were not like those of an ordinary family. "Miss Tang is here." Lu Huai said with a smile. Xie Cheng nodded slightly at her, and the man next to him suddenly stood up and bowed to Tang Xi and said: "Qu Jing meets the little genius doctor." Last name Qu? Could it be someone from the Qu family? Tang Xi smiled faintly and returned the man's greeting, "Mr. Qu, you are too kind. I don't deserve to be called a genius doctor!" Her medical skills can only serve as an auxiliary to the space at most. The things in the space are the basis for curing diseases. Qu Jing smiled politely and said, "Little genius doctor, don't be too modest. You deserve this title of genius doctor!" Tang Xi sighed slightly in her heart and decided to let him go. Xie Cheng said in a faint voice, "Please sit down first and then talk." "Ah, right!" Qu Jing suddenly realized, "Little genius doctor, please take a seat!" Tang Xi made a gesture of invitation to him, and then found a seat and sat down. "I heard that the city lord is looking for me?" She looked at Xie Cheng and asked with a smile. "Yeah." Xie Cheng took a sip of tea and said in a faint voice, "The Longevity Festival is coming. You should get ready. You will go to Beijing in two days." (End of this chapter)
Chapter 97 The Child of a Distant Relative "Going to Beijing?" Tang Xi asked with a frown, "Can I not go?" "What do you think?" Xie Cheng stared at her and asked calmly. "Ah--" Tang Xi sighed heavily, "Okay, I'll go." It is said that it takes about half a month to get from Hanshui City to Beijing, and it will take six or seven days if you ride fast. Thinking of the long journey, she felt a headache. "How long will it take?" Xie Cheng said, "After the Wanshou Festival, I will naturally come back." "When is the Wanshou Festival?" Tang Xi asked again. Xie Cheng replied, "After the Mid-Autumn Festival." Tang Xi nodded, "I understand. Can we go now?" "Please wait a moment, little doctor!" Qu Jing said, "I came here today and I want to ask you for help with something." "Ask me for help?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Could it be that someone in the Qu family is sick?" "That's not the case." Qu Jing said, "It's the son of a distant relative of mine. He was poisoned a year ago and had to suppress the disease but couldn't completely cure it. I thought that since you can cure even heart disease, you should be able to cure this poison." "Poisoned?" Tang Xi frowned and said in embarrassment, "But I can only cure diseases, not detoxify." Xie Cheng looked at her and said, "Have you ever heard of Fang Hua Yin?" Tang Xi shook her head, "No!" Qu Jing was a little disappointed after hearing this, "Yes, although you have great medical skills, you are still young. It is normal that you haven't heard of Fang Hua Yin. After all, this poison has been banned by the Poison Gate for nearly twenty years." "If it has been banned, how could it leak out?" Tang Xi was puzzled. "We haven't found the source yet, so we don't know." Qu Jing said, "The city lord knows about poisons. I originally wanted to come here to ask if there is a solution, but I still have to use that method. There is no other way." Tang Xi: ...﹏ Which method is it? Xie Cheng explained to her considerately, "The addiction to youth requires a piece of flesh from the biological mother as a medicine." "Human flesh?" Tang Xi was shocked, and then felt a little horrified, "What kind of poison is so disgusting that it requires human flesh as a medicine?" Qu Jing sighed faintly, "The child's mother died early, and now the poison can only be suppressed." Tang Xi asked, "What will happen if the poison takes effect?" Xie Cheng said, "The whole body will convulse and have difficulty breathing. If it is not suppressed in time, it will die within a day." Qu Jing said angrily, "The child was only two years old when he was poisoned. How could that beast have the heart to do it!" "Two years old? How old is the child now?" Tang Xi asked. "Three years old." A two- year-old has to endure such a poison for a year. How can this child bear it? Tang Xi felt a little pity in her heart. "Who is helping to suppress the poison of that child?" Xie Cheng asked. Qu Jing said, "To be honest, it was Boss Lin who was helping to suppress it." "Lin Yuetong?" Xie Cheng seemed to know something, his eyes were dark and unclear, "Is your distant relative her?" "Hehe~" Qu Jing touched the back of his neck awkwardly, "This, I heard that the little genius doctor cured the old lady and Princess Hanrong's illness, so I took the initiative to bring it up." He has been fond of Lin Yuetong for a long time, and often patronizes Yanhong Tavern. He and Lin Yuetong are old acquaintances, so he has also heard about what happened in Yanhong Tavern recently. He asked Lin Yuetong the other day, and she said that the child was her distant relative, because she was poisoned, so she asked her to take care of it. Lin Yuetong's identity as a disciple of the Poison Sect is basically no secret, so when he heard this, he asked the reason. It happened that his father asked him to go to the palace with Xie Cheng to meet the emperor this year, and he remembered that Xie Cheng was also very good at using poison, so he came to ask Xie Cheng to see if he had a solution. Unfortunately, Xie Cheng's solution to Fang Hua's addiction was no different from what Lin Yuetong said, so he placed his hopes on Tang Xi. (End of this chapter)
Chapter 98: The cold storage was poked Tang Xi pondered for a moment and said, "If you really trust me, you can take me to see it." "No." Xie Cheng objected. He looked at Qu Jing and said, "If you want her to treat it, you can ask Lin Yuetong to send her to your door." Xie Cheng was such a smart man. After all these things, and thinking of Chen Luo who was still in Hanshui City, if he still didn't know whose child it was, he would be really mentally retarded. Qu Jing was happy, "Is it okay?" In this strange era, Tang Xi didn't dare to trust anyone, but compared to other people, she was actually more willing to trust Xie Cheng, so after hearing Xie Cheng's objection, she smiled at Qu Jing and said, "Everything is subject to the orders of City Lord Xie." Qu Jing smiled and said, "I'll go back and ask Boss Lin." Xie Cheng looked at Mo Yi and said, "You go and see Mr. Qu off." "No, no!" Qu Jing waved his hand and said, "It's not like I don't know the way, don't see me off." After that, he strode over the threshold and left happily. After the others walked away, Tang Xi turned around and looked at Xie Cheng curiously, "Who is that Lin Yuetong?" Mo Yi said, "One of the master's admirers." "Oh?" Tang Xi's gossipy soul was instantly ignited, "I'm afraid City Lord Xie's peach blossom debt has spread all over Hanshui City?" "Stop talking." Xie Cheng glanced at Mo Yi coldly, then said to Tang Xi, "This matter is related to other things, it's better to be careful." Mo Yi's expression became serious, "Master, do you suspect that the child is related to Dark Night City?" "Dark Night City?" Lu Huai frowned, "Is Lin Yuetong from Dark Night City?" Mo Yi said, "Sir, do you know who Chen Luo's deceased wife is?" "Who?" "Ningzhu, one of the two flowers of the Poison Sect." "Chen Luo has married?" Lu Huai finally reacted. He looked at Xie Cheng and said with a slightly teasing expression, "I thought he only had Ah Cheng in his heart." "Wow!" Tang Xi's eyes brightened, "So, City Lord Xie is popular with both men and women!" Xie Cheng: "...Don't listen to his nonsense. Anyway, you'd better not go out by yourself these days. If you want to go out, let Mo Yi follow you." Mo Yi felt wronged. His master had changed. He had never been a guard for anyone except his master before, but everything changed since Tang Xi came. It was no longer the same as before. "Who is this Chen Luo? What is his relationship with Dark Night City?" Tang Xi was curious. Lu Huai said: "Chen Luo is the Lord of Dark Night City, and also Ah Cheng's childhood sweetheart... Oh, no, they should be childhood sweethearts." Tang Xi was puzzled, "Since the relationship is so good, why should we be on guard? Aren't they all family?" "Family?" Mo Yi snorted coldly, "There is a blood feud between Chen Luo and my master." Tang Xi's first reaction was that it was another melodrama. "So, why did it become like this now? Can anyone explain it?" She didn't like to watch melodramas, but Xie Cheng was one of the protagonists of the story, so she was looking forward to it. The atmosphere suddenly became gloomy, and a low pressure spread around the room. Tang Xi realized belatedly that the atmosphere was not right. She glanced at the three people in confusion, but saw Mo Yi staring at her unhappily, Lu Huai remained silent, and Xie Cheng's expression was gloomy, his deep eyes lacked the indifference of the past, but had a bit more deep coldness. Uh... did she accidentally poke the cold air storage? Tang Xi's neck shrank slightly, and she laughed dryly: "I just... asked." Sure enough, curiosity kills the cat. She shouldn't want to hear the story about Xie Cheng, and the story of brothers loving and killing each other. However, Xie Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and Mo Yi said it was a blood feud. Could it be related to the cause of death of the old city lord and his wife of Hanshui City? (End of this chapter)
Chapter 99 Feeling uncomfortable "Yes, sorry, I just asked casually, not really want to hear it." Who knows, as soon as she said this, Xie Cheng's expression became more gloomy. "Ah, I suddenly remembered that Ling'er wanted to see me for something, so I won't stay any longer." After Lu Huai said this, he gave Tang Xi a look that said "I can't help" and slipped away. In an instant, only Tang Xi and the master and servant were left staring at each other. Xie Cheng felt very uncomfortable because Tang Xi said she didn't want to hear his story. However, even if Tang Xi wanted to hear it, he would not tell her about the grudge between him and Chen Luo. He didn't know why he felt uncomfortable with Tang Xi's words, and he couldn't find the reason, which made him feel worse. When he felt worse, his expression became more gloomy. "Uh... Can I go back?" Tang Xi was uneasy. She hadn't mastered the great skill yet, and she was unsure. ... "Well." After an unknown amount of time, Xie Cheng suddenly spoke. Tang Xi felt relieved and forced a smile, "Then I'll go first. Come back to me if you need anything." It would be best if nothing happened, Tang Xi prayed in his heart. Seeing her hurried steps, she even stumbled when crossing the threshold, but ignored him, as if there was a beast chasing her behind her... Xie Cheng: ... Is he so scary? He turned his head to look at Mo Yi, and suddenly realized, he said that the girls were so happy to see him, how could they be afraid? It must be that Mo Yi's expression was too serious, "Don't make such a serious expression next time." Look at how scared the little girl was, I don't know if she got any skin broken. Mo Yi: ... "Master, do you suspect that the child may be the child of Chen Luo and Ning Zhu?" "Nine out of ten." Chen Luo was very low-key when he got married, and many people didn't even know that he was married, so outsiders didn't know whether he had children or not. However, as a good brother in the past and now an "enemy", Xie Cheng would pay more attention to it. Besides, what else could make Chen Luo feel more important than seeking revenge, except for his own son? It's just that Fanghua addiction... who gave it to a child? Is it because of a grudge against Ningzhu or Chen Luo? "However, who is so vicious that he gave a child Fanghua addiction?" Mo Yi looked a little angry. Xie Cheng said calmly: "This is not our business." "Yes!" Mo Yi responded. At this time, in the backyard of the Yanhong Tavern in the west of the city. "You mean, Xie Cheng asked me to take the child to Xie Mansion?" Lin Yuetong was a little unbelievable. "Yes!" Qu Jing nodded, and said with some regret: "Originally, I wanted to invite the little genius doctor, but the city lord didn't agree." "Little genius doctor?" Lin Yuetong frowned, "What little genius doctor?" Qu Jing said: "It's just a little girl with excellent medical skills." "Little girl?" Lin Yuetong pondered: "Is it a little girl with fair skin, thirteen or fourteen years old, who loves to laugh?" "Yes!" Qu Jing was surprised, "So, you have seen the little genius doctor?" "What? She didn't come with some genius doctor, but she is a genius doctor herself?" Lin Yuetong said in a hurry. No wonder Xie Cheng treats her so specially! "What's wrong with you?" Qu Jing was a little worried. "Oh, I'm fine!" Lin Yuetong took a deep breath and returned to her original charming self. "Thank you for telling me, Mr. Qu, but... this doctor is a medical practitioner and may not be very proficient in poison." What a joke. Let Xie Cheng's people detoxify Chen Luo's child. If Chen Luo knew about it, wouldn't he skin her alive? (End of this chapter)
Chapter 100 A Life for a Life "The little doctor is very good." After being rejected by Lin Yuetong, Qu Jing said anxiously: "Do you know about the illness of old lady Xie? And Princess Hanrong's heart disease, even the imperial doctors were helpless, she cured them all." "All cured?" Lin Yuetong was shocked. That little girl looked so young, was her medical skills so amazing? "That's great. I saw Princess Hanrong at Anyang Palace the other day. She is much more energetic than before. And Old Lady Xie is very energetic now. When I went to see her a month ago, she was so skinny that she needed someone to support her when she walked. But when I went to Xie's house just now, I saw her walking in the yard with Old Lady Xie. She has grown back." Afraid that Lin Yuetong would still question Tang Xi's medical skills, Qu Jing continued, "She also cured my grandparents' insomnia." After being shocked, Lin Yuetong couldn't help but sigh, "Where did Xie Cheng dig up this treasure? His medical skills are so amazing?" With such accomplishments at such a young age, it's no wonder that he is favored by Xie Cheng. Lin Yuetong felt sad, but also a little moved. After all, Chen Ning is Ningzhu's child. She and Ningzhu are like sisters, so naturally she doesn't want to see the child suffer. Every time she sees that little body twitching because of pain, she feels very uncomfortable. Seeing that her expression was somewhat relaxed, Qu Jing continued, "The child is still so young, you can't bear to see him suffer pain, right?" Lin Yuetong sighed, "Can you let me think about it?" "Okay!" Afraid that she would change her mind again, Qu Jing said again, "Think it over carefully." Lin Yuetong smiled and nodded, "I'll give you an answer tomorrow morning." Qu Jing said, "You have to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, in a few days, the little doctor will follow City Lord Xie to the capital." "What is Xie Cheng going to do in the capital?" Lin Yuetong was curious. "The Longevity Festival is coming, and there is also the matter of the refugees in Beisang City. He has to go to the capital to report." Lin Yuetong nodded suddenly, "I will make a decision as soon as possible." As soon as Qu Jing left, Lin Yuetong handed the Yanhong Tavern to someone else to take care of it, and she went to find Chen Luo privately. "Do you want to take Chen Ning to the Xie Mansion?" Chen Luo stood up suddenly, his voice was chilling. Lin Yuetong had expected him to be angry, so she was not afraid at all. Instead, she said firmly: "If you want him to continue to endure the pain, you can choose not to go." Chen Luo said angrily: "My child, Chen Luo, will die in pain, and I don't need any charity from Xie Cheng." "Really?" Lin Yuetong sneered, "Can you bear it?" In order to treat Chen Ning's illness, Chen Luo even forgot how to plot against Xie Cheng in the past year. Chen Luo did not speak. As long as it is Xie Cheng's people, it is not allowed! "If the child gets sick one day and I'm not here, who are you going to look for?" Lin Yuetong's expression was gradually filled with anger, "Are you going to watch him die in pain?" Upon hearing this, Chen Luo said coldly, "You can't be away." "Can't?" Lin Yuetong sneered, "Chen Luo, if An Ning wasn't Ningzhu's child, do you think I'd be willing to spend so many years with you?" Chen Luo said coldly, "Xie Cheng is the murderer of my father, and also the enemy of An Ning." He could never forget the scene when Xie Cheng took a dagger and stabbed his father to death in front of him. He asked why Xie Cheng did that, but Xie Cheng did not answer. Instead, he pushed the painful, angry, and crazy him away and walked away. Lin Yuetong said, "Since he is the murderer of my father, he should pay with his life, one life for another."
