Chapter 197 More Valuable Than the Master
Xie Mubai said he didn't want to answer such a stupid question.
Wang Qi doesn't like to interact with women, but he is such a villain that no woman dares to interact with him.
Even if someone who is not afraid of death dares to step forward, he will be scared away by his sharp gaze.
In his twenty-five years of life, only the fearless concubine's daughter of the Marquis of Xiangyang had openly confessed her love to him.
"Okay, I was just kidding." Seeing that the villain was unhappy, Shen Wan smiled and pulled his hand and acted coquettishly, "I'm hungry and want to eat."
"Listen, my stomach is growling."
Xie Mubai frowned slightly.
He knew that he had no bottom line in front of her.
As long as a little woman acts coquettishly, even the biggest thing can be forgiven.
"I haven't touched Yinxia." He thought about it and decided to explain, "I haven't touched other women either."
Seeing him explain so seriously, Shen Wan couldn’t help but laugh: “I believe it!”
"Okay, let's go back to the house, change our clothes and then go eat."
Of course she believed it.
Although this villain is not a good person, he is definitely very innocent.
I remember that in the book, he remained faithful to the little green tea girl until his death.
Shen Wan smiled as she pushed the villain to the second floor.
Yuzhou is Xie Mubai's territory. Even though he is now a fugitive, the post station still treats him as a guest of honor, and even the treatment of other fugitives has been greatly improved.
Except for Zhao's mother and son, everyone else had a very sumptuous meal.
Every time we eat, we have the illusion that we are having a grand banquet at the post station.
Knowing that Shen Wan liked seafood, Xie Mubai specially asked the kitchen to prepare shrimp.
He washed his hands, picked up one and began to peel it.
"My Lord, let me do it!" Yin Xia took one look and quickly stepped forward to take it. "In the past, I was the one who served you. Now that I'm back, these are naturally mine."
As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Wan complacently.
Is this girl provoking me?
Shen Wan frowned slightly.
Like the noble families in the capital, the Duke of Zhenguo rarely eats seafood, so Yinxia's movements in peeling shrimps are really clumsy.
Before she finished peeling a shrimp, her hand was pierced by the shrimp skin.
"You step back." Looking at the drop of blood, Xie Mubai frowned his beautiful eyebrows.
Seeing him frown, Yinxia misunderstood.
She couldn't help but move closer and said with a charming smile, "Thank you for your concern, my lord. I'm fine."
She overthought it.
Xie Mubai was not worried about her hand, but felt sorry for the shrimp.
How can he eat his little woman if she is stained with blood?
His face was gloomy, and his voice was cold and icy: "Yinxia, you were bought by the young lady, and she is the one you should serve."
Yin Xia’s face turned pale, and she glanced at Chen Wan with a guilty look.
"I'm sorry, Madam." She rubbed her hands together uncomfortably and stammered, "I...I'm used to it."
She was used to it, but Shen Wan was not.
If she had known this would happen, she would never have bought this girl to make herself feel upset.
She can't even peel a shrimp. She's not a maid, she's clearly the master!
"Go to the backyard and feed the horses." Shen Wan thought for a moment and said.
Feed the horses?
How could Yinxia do such rough work?
She wanted to speak, but was pushed out by Li: "You are such a fool, you can't even tell who is the master."
"If you want to stay here for a long time, you just need to listen to the young lady."
"As for the prince's words, you can listen to them or not."
"But if you offend the young lady, you will definitely have a hard time in the future."
After hearing this, Yinxia couldn't help but feel a little confused.
She asked in surprise, "Fourth Madam, is it that ugly woman who has the final say in the Xie family now?"
"Who are you calling ugly?" Li couldn't help but laugh. "I'm not exaggerating, but it would be very difficult to find someone prettier than her in the entire Wei Dynasty."
"Go feed the horses first, and then come back to my room for dinner."
"I'm going back first. Erbao still needs someone to take care of him."
Yinxia wanted to say something, but saw that Li had already left.
Looking at the three tall horses in the stable, Yinxia couldn't help but feel troubled.
As soon as she moved forward, the black horse stretched its neck.
Yinxia was startled and quickly took a few steps back.
In desperation, she threw the hay forward randomly.
The horse couldn't get any grass to eat, and neighed in anxiety.
Hearing the sound, everyone hurried to the backyard.
When Shen Wan saw the grass all over the ground, she felt overwhelmed.
No wonder the big man wanted to sell the girl. After all, no one wants to raise a baby.
"Let me do it." Seeing this, Xie Murong started to pick up the scattered grass on the ground.
She not only fed the horses, but also fed Wang Qi's big yellow cow.
Yin Xia was stunned to see that the daughter of a noble family could do such rough work with such nimble hands and feet.
Shen Wan held her forehead slightly and looked at Xie Mubai helplessly.
Xie Mubai also looked innocent.
He wanted to find a maid to serve Shen Wan, but he never expected Yin Xia to be so useless.
"Take your time." Xie Murong touched Huang Niu's head and looked up at Yin Xia. "If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me and I will teach you."
Can Yinxia say that she doesn’t want to learn?
I thought I could live a good life by following Xie Mubai on the road, but I didn't expect that I still have to work.
But now, I have to bow my head because I live under someone else's roof.
Even though she was reluctant, she could only nod.
Seeing that the horses had been fed, Shen Wan and Xie Mubai went back to continue eating.
At this time, Wang Qi walked forward quietly.
Ever since that secret was discovered by Da Niuniang, the uncle and his sister-in-law rarely spoke to each other.
Even though they sat at the same table to eat every day, there was no communication between the two.
It’s not that Wang Qi doesn’t want to, it’s that Da Niuniang doesn’t want to.
"I think you should just give up." Xie Mubai said coldly.
When Wang Qi heard this, he immediately became angry: "Why?"
“If I ask you to give up Shen Wan, would you be willing?”
He is sincere.
He fell in love with his gentle and virtuous sister-in-law at a very early age.
For her, he rejected all marriage proposals and even refused to have any contact with the opposite sex.
"We are different." Xie Mubai was not angry, but just held Shen Wan's hand tightly. "Your Wang family values reputation the most. If you marry your own sister-in-law, what do you think people outside will say?"
He didn't lie.
If he hadn't been concerned about this, Wang Qi would have confessed his feelings to Da Niuniang long ago.
"Let's just let it take its course." Shen Wan thought for a moment and advised, "But I'll go and keep Big Girl company."
"No matter what, I don't want this to affect the big girl, do you understand?"
Of course Wang Qi understood.
He had long regarded the girl as his own daughter, and would never bear to see her suffer any injustice.
Without even thinking, he nodded vigorously.
"You go to bed first tonight. I may be back late." Seeing this, Shen Wan said to Xie Mubai.
Xie Mubai didn't want to stay alone in the empty room, but since things had come to this, he could only nod in agreement.
After dinner, Chen Wan sat with Da Niuniang for a long time and did not leave until midnight.
When he went out, he saw Yinxia walking stealthily towards the second floor.
The prisoners either lived in the backyard or on the first floor, except for Xie Mubai and Shen Wan, whose rooms were on the second floor.
Shen Wan thought about it, hid her figure slightly, and followed without anyone noticing.
The door of the room was ajar. Yinxia looked around and then slipped in quietly.
There was a kerosene lamp lit in the room, which Xie Mubai had left specially for Shen Wan.
He lay on his side on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Yinxia took a deep breath, plucked up her courage and walked forward, reaching out to Xie Mubai's clothes.
