What can the Cui family say? Of course they are filled with gratitude.
After being exiled for so long, his former close friends were afraid of being implicated and didn't even write to him.
Who would have thought that General Zhou, a complete stranger to them, would secretly help them time and time again.
Although they didn't say anything and didn't even show up, they sent them things from time to time, which made their lives much better during this cold winter.
And to some extent, it also deterred those who were secretly plotting. Cui Wan'er never encountered the situation she experienced on Mid-Autumn Festival again.
What the Cui family didn't know was that it wasn't that the hooligans in Dahe Village didn't dare to do anything, but that the Third Prince's wife, who was far away in the capital, was in a difficult position, busy dealing with the little bitch who had just entered the mansion!
Cui Jingzhong quickly waved his hands and expressed his gratitude to Zhou Chengyu.
But he was very confused. They were both exiled, but why did Ling Jiheng seem to be living much better than his family and had a closer relationship with Zhou Chengyu?
Is this the natural communication ability of merchants?
Cui Jingzhong's thoughts were racing, but his face remained as calm as a mountain.
After interacting with Ling Jiheng, I finally had to admit that this kid in front of me was really not simple.
Ling Jiheng didn't plan to stay any longer. He sat there for no more than a quarter of an hour before saying goodbye to the Cui family.
Cui Jingzhong and Cui Shouqing sent the person to the door and watched Ling Jiheng leave before returning to the house.
The first thing he said was, "Wan'er, are you sure that the servant was the one who saved you earlier?"
Cui Wan'er nodded: "Dad, I'm very sure, and that young man looks very similar to the old man who saved me back then!"
Cui Jingzhong nodded. "It seems they are of high character and don't expect anything in return. Let's not talk about this anymore. Just keep it in mind."
Cui Shouqing and Cui Wan'er nodded and buried their gratitude deep in their hearts.
Cui's mother, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking about something and decided to wait until her son and daughter fell asleep before having a good chat with her husband.
The four of them took inventory of the supplies sent by Zhou Chengyu. Faced with the white rice, Cui Jingzhong was a little panicked.
That Zhou guy, wouldn't he have any plans for his kid? But he's not the Minister of Revenue anymore, so what could Zhou Chengyu have planned?
Looking at his innocent son and daughter, he suppressed the strange thoughts in his mind and decided to observe for a while longer.
On the other side, Jinbao had just driven the ox cart out of Dahe Village when he encountered someone blocking the road.
At first, Jinbao thought they were bandits hiding somewhere, and he was planning to use a knife.
Later I found out that it was a girl, staring at the ox cart pitifully.
"The gentleman in the car, can you please come out and talk? I am Cui Jingzhong's niece..."
Ling Jiheng felt nauseous listening to the pretentious noises outside the car. Without even lifting the curtain, he told Jin Bao to hurry on.
Jin Bao sneered and raised his whip, nearly hitting Cui Yujiao in the face. Only she twisted her ankle in fear and narrowly avoided being disfigured.
Jinbao felt no guilt at all. He drove away in his ox cart without even looking at the person.
Cui Yujiao was left staring at the ox cart going away with a fierce and vicious look in her eyes: "What are you bragging about? It's just a broken ox cart. I don't care about it!"
Cui Yujiao's brother, who was hiding not far away, came out quickly and helped his sister up: "Jiaojiao, are you okay?"
This one sentence made Cui Yujiao break down her defense and shake off Cui Yuanzhi's hand.
She cried, "I have trouble, very troubled. Why did my uncle get into trouble and drag us to this godforsaken place?
Why do so many men like Cui Wan'er? I am obviously prettier, more virtuous and younger than her.
Why won’t they even look at me?!"
"Oh my, auntie, please don't say that. It's okay to just think about it in your heart, but if someone hears you, they will definitely say..."
Cui Yuanzhi glanced at Cui Yujiao's red eyes from crying and swallowed the words "a toad wants to eat swan flesh".
As for exile, he also complained about it, but it was the imperial decree and they dared not disobey it.
Now, I can only try my best not to have anything to do with Cui Shouqing's family, so as to avoid getting hurt by them and not having money to see a doctor.
"Besides, we are just illegitimate children, and we don't have any..."
Cui Yujiao glared at Cui Yuanzhi and swore in her heart that she must live a better life than Cui Wan'er.
In Qingshan Village, Ling Yi drove back in a carriage and almost caused a misunderstanding. It was only because of his timely explanation that the old lady did not faint.
"Oh, you're back! That's good! That's good! Have you eaten yet? I'll ask Taohua to make it for you!"
Ling Yi shook his head: "Old Madam, you don't have to worry. The Second Young Master has taken us to eat in the county."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief: "I've eaten well, I've eaten well." This shows that her little grandson is caring.
He ordered Taohua to make ginger soup: "It's freezing cold, drink some to warm you up and you can sleep well at night.
Qinglu, Qizi, clean up the room for the guest and boil some water. Baozhu, go too; Heng'er will definitely need a bath when he comes back."
Seeing that the old lady had arranged everything in an orderly manner, Chi Xingyue did not say anything.
He put away the playing cards on the table and hid them, so that when Ling Jiheng came back, he wouldn't think that he didn't value him and was only interested in having fun.
The old lady saw her little sneaky action and smiled. She quickly asked someone to go back to the house to clean up and wash up.
Chi Xingyue sensed the old lady's ill intentions and her ears turned red with shame.
But he had to pretend to be ignorant, bowed and left.
Shu Muyun wanted to follow, but was stopped by the old lady.
I thought that the young people would be all excited and tired, and you, an old fool, why would you join in the fun?
Shu Laoguapi Muyun said that he refused to accept this nickname!
Chi Xingyue returned to the house and took a look, but found that there was nothing to clean. The room was warm, and there was a small stove on it, with a teapot sitting on it, boiling spiritual spring water.
On the table stood a tea set, made of fine porcelain, as white as jade. Inside the teapot was a bottle of priceless Longjing tea. As soon as I opened it and sniffed it, an alluring aroma filled my nostrils.
Chi Xingyue made herself a cup of tea and sat quietly at the desk waiting.
Not long after, Erzhu came in, said something to Chi Xingyue, and went to the next room to add water.
Not knowing when Ling Jiheng would come back, he filled the bathtub with hot water.
Think that the temperature will be right after a while, or if there is no time, just add cold water.
Chi Xingyue saw him pouring water into the ear room again and again, and it seemed quite tiring.
Just when I was about to say I'd take a break before continuing, I heard Erzhu mutter, "Master, look how good I am to you, hehe!"
Chi Xingyue: “…” Well, it’s better not to hinder others’ performance!
In comparison, she seems to be quite incompetent as a young wife.
But all the work is done by the servants, so as a young lady, isn't there just something she can do to enjoy herself?
Chi Xingyue rubbed his face, sank his consciousness into the space, and found that the progress bar had actually grown a lot longer.
[Space Soul Binding Progress 20%]
[Level 3 space upgrade progress 85%]
The Nanshan Village Police Station has also undergone a major transformation, with the third floor now unlocked, forming a complete building. What a pleasant surprise!
Chi Xingyue did not try to figure out the underlying principles. If something came to mind, he would just accept it. If nothing came to mind, he would not dwell on it. He would just let everything go as it came.
