Tian Shenhua thought highly of this young man. He saw his demeanor and the fact that he could manage so many people meant he was definitely capable.
The newcomer, waving a folding fan, bowed slightly to Tian Shenhua: "Sir, you flatter me. I am but a lowly errand boy; I do not deserve such praise." The truly capable one is none other than Young Master Xiao Liuchen, who follows behind your daughter.
However, judging from Xiao Liuchen's expression, he knew that Xiao Liuchen had no intention of revealing his identity, so I decided not to cause any trouble and risk my master disliking me.
"My surname is Xiao, and my given name is Xiao Seventeen."
Tian Shenhua readily agreed: "So it's the Seventeenth Young Master, you and Junmeng..."
Xiao Liuchen only said that the visitor was the son of an old friend of his father's, but he had lost his memories of the past. Those he could remember were likely acquaintances. He knew this man was unusual when Falcon Dream was taken in, and didn't want to have too much involvement with him. But his own daughter…
Tian Shenhua still wanted to ask more questions, fearing that something might happen to Xiao Liuchen and he wouldn't be able to get home. Tian Shenhua felt that this dangerous individual of unknown origin was best kept as far away from her daughter as possible, so she decided to just make do with him as a male concubine.
Xiao Shiqi had already heard Xiao Liuchen mention this, so he didn't give himself away in front of Tian Shenhua: "Our two families share the same surname, and we've had some business dealings since our ancestors' generation. In the past two years, my family has gradually handed over their assets to us, so we've been seeing each other more often. A few days ago, he was supposed to come here to talk to me about something, but I didn't expect that he would disappear without a trace after the letter was sent. I didn't know what had happened to him, and I was getting worried when he came to contact me."
Tian Shenhua continued, "It's really worrying that something like this happened. You have no idea how badly he was injured when we found him. He was covered in blood, and lying on the roadside late at night was quite frightening."
Xiao Shiqi's eyelids twitched. He knew his master was missing and in bad shape, but hearing what Tian Shenhua said still made him very anxious.
Fortunately, their master is alright now, otherwise they, the servants, would have been in deep trouble.
Xiao Shiqi closed his folding fan and bowed deeply to Tian Shenhua: "He and I are as close as brothers. If anything were to happen to him, I would never have peace of mind for the rest of my life. I will never forget your life-saving grace. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
Tian Shenhua waved his hands repeatedly: "It was just a small favor, it's not that serious."
"Human life is at stake, so this favor is naturally immense."
"It's already very kind of you to give us a ride this time; consider it an offset." Tian Shenhua felt a little embarrassed, as this was the first time she had ever troubled someone like this. "We've already packed and are wondering when we'll set off?"
Xiao Shiqi glanced at Xiao Liuchen and nodded: "Now that you're all packed, let's put the things on the rack and go! All the goods I brought this time are tea leaves. I heard that it's going to rain in a few days, and these things will lose their flavor if they get wet."
He had already figured it out; Tian Shenhua was a rather stubborn person, and she wouldn't agree to anything further. But the capital was both so big and so small; once they got there, they would inevitably run into each other again, so repaying her debt of gratitude wasn't something to rush into.
Xiao Shiqi winked at Xiao Liuchen discreetly: Master, did I do a good job with what you asked me to do?
Xiao Liuchen coughed lightly twice, his fist clenched to his lips, signaling Xiao Shiqi to tone it down; if they were discovered, their secret would be exposed.
