Chapter 376: You Can Only Know a Person’s Face But Not Their Heart

Ye Mingxuan heard the tone of Gu Xiaoxi's voice and guessed that they really had a quarrel.

It’s good to quarrel. Without this powerful Gu Xiaoxi, the second brother would not get involved in many things after all. He has waited for this opportunity with great difficulty and cannot give up.

"In that case, I won't keep you here. Knowing you're not interested in other things, I've picked out some medicinal herbs for you, as well as some famous pastries and snacks here. You can't refuse them." He said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you very much." Gu Xiaoxi agreed readily.

Ye Mingxuan and Ye Lan stayed for dinner, and after lunch, they left early.

Gu Xiaoxi sent them outside the manor, and after the carriage left, she turned around and returned to the manor.

After these days, the construction of Zhuangzi has basically been completed, and the workers who stayed behind are mainly working to make furniture.

Once the furniture is finished, we can finish work.

Diguo heard that Miss Xiaoxi would leave the next day, so he gathered several of his men together in the afternoon, told them what he needed to do, and wrote down the important things and gave them to one of them named Dajiang.

"Remember, you have to guard this place well. Miss Xiaoxi will have to come back after she finishes her work in her hometown." Diguo instructed them.

"Yes!" Everyone agreed.

After Diguo and others finished speaking, they asked their two capable assistants, Dajiang and Daqu, to stay and talk.

Gu Xiaoxi sat nearby and listened, then looked back at Dajiang and Daqu.

These two people are Diguo's subordinates. If she takes Diguo away, will these two subordinates become homeless?

"Dajiang, Daqu, where do you plan to go after finishing your work here?" she asked.

The two men lowered their heads, and Di Guo replied, "They all work for a living, and they are both orphans. They came here from the border town with me.

I usually take them with me when I have something to do, and after we leave, I plan to entrust him to Yingliu."

“No need to pay Yingliu, just stay here and look after the farm for me.

The village has grown and will need people in the future. It’s better to use two people who know each other well than to find others!” Gu Xiaoxi simply did a favor.

Hearing what Gu Xiaoxi said, Di Guo looked at the two of them and said, "Hurry up, thank Miss Xiaoxi!"

"Thank you, Miss Xiaoxi, thank you, Miss Xiaoxi!" The two people who originally had sad faces were overjoyed.

Gu Xiaoxi also thought that there were only two girls here, and it would be less tiring to have two more men.

"Okay, it's decided. Take them to meet He Yu and the others to discuss things, so as to avoid any problems in the future." After she said that, she stood up and went to see Gu Yao.

Gu Yao was young, and he absorbed the spiritual spring water well. Not only could he gradually see some flesh on his face, but the skin on his face was almost completely healed.

Just in case, just wait another seven or eight days before taking it out.

In the evening, Ye Lixuan changed his appearance and came to Gu Xiaoxi's manor.

Gu Xiaoxi told Ye Lixuan what happened during the day.

Ye Lixuan smiled coldly after hearing this: "I really can't understand why the third brother is so impatient?

Moreover, he seemed to be eager for us to quarrel. It is really hard to judge a person by his appearance!"

"What's so confusing? He kept a low profile before because he wasn't fully grown yet.

It's different now. He has money and connections, so it's time for him to step forward." Gu Xiaoxi was able to understand the situation.

After saying that, she wondered if she should move to another place when she returned.

"You don't have to move. That place is far away, and he generally won't have any ideas. Besides, you said you have just settled down there. Your family will be tired if you keep moving." Ye Lixuan saw what Gu Xiaoxi was thinking.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded: "I'll see what happens when the time comes!"

"Okay, be careful on your way. When you get to your destination, send me a talisman. With this, it's just like sending a message, which is quite convenient." Ye Lixuan practices whenever he has time. This is also the skill that Gu Xiaoxi taught him.

"Yes, thanks to this thing, it's easy to find someone no matter how far away they are." After saying this, Gu Xiaoxi handed Ye Lixuan a book.

Ye Lixuan took it and flipped through a few pages. They were all filled with different talismans.

"Memorize it after reading it, and then burn it. If this thing falls into the hands of others, it will serve them." Gu Xiaoxi reminded Ye Lixuan.

"Okay!" Ye Lixuan agreed.

After dinner, the two drank wine and ate skewers on the rooftop, chatting leisurely about the future.

Time passed quickly, and as the day was about to dawn, Ye Lixuan hugged Gu Xiaoxi reluctantly: "You must take good care of yourself!"

"Just don't lose your life." Gu Xiaoxi said only one sentence and then let go of his hand.

"Master, Ma Weiwei and Chen Qinian and their carriages have arrived at the door." Diguo came in and reported.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at Ye Lixuan and jumped off the roof. She looked back at Ye Lixuan, said goodbye to Gu Mi and Gu Yao, and walked out.

Ma Weiwei and Chen Qinian finally saw Sister Xiaoxi coming out, followed by the servant who had gone home to report the news.

"This is Diguo. He will be my butler from now on." Gu Xiaoxi introduced him and asked Diguo to go to Ying San's carriage.

Ying San was very happy to see that Miss Xiaoxi could bring the earthen pot. This kid has suffered a lot over the years.

"Let's set off once everyone is here. The journey is long and we can't waste time." Gu Xiaoxi asked.

"Everyone is here. Young Master Zhong is in the carriage at the back." Ma Weiwei pointed to the carriage at the back.

Gu Xiaoxi looked over and saw that the person driving the carriage was a servant of the Zhong family.

When the Zhong family servants saw Gu Xiaoxi coming over, they waved politely, but the smiles on their faces were a little unnatural.

Gu Xiaoxi was a little sleepy and didn't pay much attention. After saying hello, she got on the carriage.

Ma Weiwei saw through what was going on, but she didn't dare to say it. If she ruined Zhong Manman's good fortune, she would probably have a hard time.

The carriage moved forward, and after about half an hour, several carriages appeared in front of them.

"Master, I'm here to see you off!" Young Master Ye came because he felt that even if he couldn't learn skills from Gu Xiaoxi, he didn't want to offend this person.

"You are thoughtful." Gu Xiaoxi smiled.

"I'm sorry, Master, I really want to learn skills from you, but..." Young Master Ye said.

Gu Xiaoxi patted Master Ye's shoulder and said, "Just make your choice."

When Young Master Ye heard this, his heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his master had seen through his thoughts.

"Take care!" Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and turned to get on the carriage.

Ying San drove the carriage forward, and the speed was very fast.

In the blink of an eye, the carriage disappeared in front of Young Master Ye. His face was a little gloomy, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

"Master, there are so many powerful people in the city, and she is not missing one more." Butler Ye whispered comfortingly.

"As long as we don't become enemies, it's fine. This woman is too powerful. It seems like she can see through everything." Young Master Ye was really worried that one day he would definitely not be a match for this woman.
