"Yes, you are..."
Xia Zhiliao looked back at the boy and asked.
"Brother, why are you here? Ah, Xia Zhiliao!"
Suddenly a little boy jumped out and walked towards Xia Zhiliao with a smile.
Xia Zhiliao nodded slightly and looked at Mu Zhuoxuan who was walking towards her. The person in front should be the eldest son of the Mu family, Mu Zhuolin.
"Brother, this is Xia Zhi who saved me last time."
Xia Zhiliao smiled, but was still a little puzzled. Why were they here?
Could it be that the relationship between my aunt and Lord Mu Zhanpeng is heating up rapidly?
Mu Zhuoxuan is not as aloof as Mu Zhuolin. Perhaps because he is the youngest in the family, he has a bit of pampered innocence. "Do you still remember me? You saved me on the street last time."
Xia Zhiliao nodded. How could she forget this?
"You still remember me? That's great. I guess I haven't thanked you properly for seeing you today."
Xia Zhiliao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Mu Zhuolin, but she was in charge of everything and had no right to control what others were looking at.
"What brought you here?"
"Aunt Jinxiu's restaurant opens today, so we came here to join in the fun. Of course, we also came to thank you." Mu Zhuoxuan said.
"Are you familiar with my aunt?"
"Of course. After that, I met Aunt Jinxiu twice and asked about your situation. Otherwise, how would I know that I would be able to meet you today?"
Although Su Mingche was silly, he was alert now, "Sister Zhiliao, who is he?"
"He is... the young master of Mr. Mu." Xia Zhiliao said truthfully.
Lord Mu, the only person who can be called Lord in the entire county is the county magistrate.
Su Mingche lost his temper instantly, but he didn't look good to Mu Zhuoxuan either. He even deliberately stepped forward and used his body to block Xia Zhiliao, as if someone was eyeing something of his.
"So, you know my brother's identity." Mu Zhuolin sneered.
Xia Zhiliao is not a three-year-old kid, so how could he not hear the sarcasm behind these words?
"I know, so what?" Xia Zhiliao asked back.
After all, I am his brother's savior, why is he being so sarcastic?
"So you all approached my father and Zhuo Xuan with a purpose."
Xia Zhiliao took a breath of cold air in displeasure. Even if this guy would be an important official in the court in the future, it would not prevent him from having a bump on his head at the moment.
Is this human language?
"Brother, what are you talking about?" Mu Zhuoxuan couldn't listen any longer. "It's so ugly, and she's still so young."
"That's right. What do you mean by having a purpose? I don't allow you to say that about my sister Zhiliao." Su Mingche said.
Mu Zhuolin curled his lips, "Am I wrong? You are young, but you are very capable. First you are my father, then my brother. What do you want to do?"
"I..." Xia Zhiliao wanted to say that she didn't want to do anything, but she did want to have a good relationship with the county magistrate.
"I can't tell you, so I'll help you tell it."
"Brother, you scared her." Mu Zhuoxuan said angrily.
"Zhuo Xuan, don't worry about it." Mu Zhuolin said coldly, "You helped your aunt to get close to us deliberately. Don't you want to be our stepmother?"
"What?" Mu Zhuoxuan frowned, "Brother, what are you talking about?"
Xia Zhiliao was also angry, "Why do you have to be so deliberate? Did we cause him to have a seizure in the street?"
She pinched her waist and looked at the guy in front of her coldly, "You are really enough. If it wasn't for me, he would have died. Do you know that?"
Mu Zhuoxuan nodded continuously, and Su Mingche, who had no idea what was going on, also nodded, "That's right."
"Besides, what does this have to do with my aunt? Are you blind? My aunt is beautiful, and she can marry any man she wants. Why would she rush to be your stepmother? Are you crazy? Why would you want her to be so popular?"
Mu Zhuolin didn't expect the little girl to be so good at swearing, and she didn't even use a single dirty word.
He stood there stupidly.
Mu Zhuoxuan swallowed his saliva, completely admiring Xia Zhiliao. If it wasn't for his own elder brother who was being scolded with a red face, he really wanted to shout "wonderful".
But at this moment he couldn't help but, "Zhi Liao, you are so awesome."
Xia Zhiliao curled his lips, then snorted coldly, "Of course, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm even better than this."
Mu Zhuoxuan shook his head. The little girl in front of him looked cute, but she was actually more interesting.
"Brother, it's not what you said. Aunt Jinxiu is a very nice person and she cooks delicious food. She is not what you said."
"What do you know?" Mu Zhuolin said coldly. In his eyes, his younger brother was still young and could be easily deceived.
"I know everything. I can tell the good guys from the bad guys. Besides, Aunt Jinxiu is not one of those women. She has no interest in Dad. How can Dad be worthy of such a beautiful Aunt Jinxiu?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "That's right, my aunt doesn't care about it."
Mu Zhuoxuan glared at his spineless brother, who was bribed by the aunt and nephew. "Zhuoxuan, we've met the people. Let's go."
“I’m not leaving!” Mu Zhuoxuan shook his head, but he didn’t have the confidence. It was obvious that he was usually very afraid of this elder brother. “It hasn’t even started yet, and I just met Zhiliao. I haven’t even thanked her yet. Brother, if it weren’t for her, I would really be dead. If I die, you won’t have a younger brother.”
"I still have more!" Mu Zhuolin said coldly.
He has several more.
Mu Zhuoxuan was embarrassed, "Then... then the second brother and the third brother are not me."
"You are not feeling well. There are too many people here. Wait a minute..."
"Even if I'm sick, don't we still have cicadas?" Mu Zhuolin begged, "Brother, I still want to eat the delicious food made by Aunt Jinxiu. Try it and you'll know."
Mu Zhuoxuan's pitiful appearance made Xia Zhiliao feel a bit of sympathy. They were both cannon fodders who died young in the novel, so they could sympathize with each other.
"How can you be a big brother like this? My brothers always listen to me and never force me to do anything I don't like."
"I'll teach my brother, it's none of your business." Mu Zhuolin said.
Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes. "It's true that he is your brother, but he is not your follower. He has his own thoughts. He is not a puppet that you can manipulate. He is not a fool. He can distinguish between good and bad people. You can't impose your ideas on him. You are just doing this under the banner of doing good for him, but in fact you are treating him as your appendage."
Xia Zhi finished speaking in one breath, and everyone present was stunned.
Mu Zhuolin stared at Xia Zhiliao in disbelief. He couldn't believe that these were words a country girl of four or five years old could say.
And he remained silent.
