Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

"I..." The woman saw that Xie Xian had no expression on her face, as if she was being stared at by a god or demon in the darkness, making it hard for her to breathe.

The creek suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of gurgling water.

Everyone was captivated by Xie Xian's aura, staring at her blankly, like a rabbit encountering a ferocious beast patrolling its territory, and could only stay where they were and tremble.

Xie Xian curled the corners of her mouth, threw away the laundry pestle in her hand, and said softly: "Are you here to help me wash clothes?" Her voice was deep and unquestionable.

The woman nodded frantically. Her back was already soaked. When she came to her senses, she didn't dare to look up at Xie Xian. She squatted down, grabbed the hammer from someone next to her, and hit her hard, fearing that Xie Xian would be dissatisfied.

At the same time, the manager's voice came from the laundry room, asking Xie Xian to go over there.

Xin Sanniang indicated that she understood. She looked at Xie Xian and wanted to give her some advice, but after what happened just now, she felt that it would be unnecessary to say so.

In the end, she just said, "Madam Xian, be careful on the road!"

Xie Xian glanced at the laundry pestle on the ground, smiled embarrassedly at Xin Sanniang, turned around and followed the person who came.

In the eyes of everyone, Xie Xian's shoulders slumped, and she held up one corner of her skirt, returning to her fragile appearance when she first arrived.

Xin Sanniang twitched her lips. This Madam Xian really didn't consider herself an outsider.

After Xie Xian left, everyone was talking about it: "Wow! That Madam Xian is even more powerful than the mistress of a noble family. I wonder where she came from."

"However, the clothes are in bad condition. The pestle can't have broken by itself!" someone hit the nail on the head.

Everyone was horrified when they thought about it, and secretly decided that this new lady Xian was not someone to be trifled with.

Xin Sanniang glanced at Widow Liu who was washing clothes frantically next to her and shook her head. Putting aside her strength, she had never seen many women with such a strong aura even in Kangjian.

So, did Lady Xian really elope with her husband as the rumors said? But this had nothing to do with her, so she turned around and urged everyone to get back to work.

Xie Xian took her time along the way, taking two steps and resting for a while, looking around, and finally arrived at a room next to the hall.

What caught my eye was the smoother ground, which seemed to have been carefully polished. There was also a rare carved wooden door that fit perfectly with the stone wall.

The entire corridor is three meters wide, with stone platforms carved every few meters, on which are placed pottery bowls, and bean-sized flames swaying with their arrival.

Xie Xian curled her lips, it seemed like she wasn't having a good time these days.

The steward knocked on the door gently. After a while, a steady male voice came: "Come in!"

The room was not big, but it had all the necessary furniture. Xie Xian was surprised. Wow, what a good quality of life!

What caught her eye was a huge pear blossom table, and behind it was a huge bookshelf filled with things. The charcoal basin next to it gave off waves of warmth, which made Xie Xian's face feel much more relaxed.

Sitting behind the desk was a young scholar with an elegant temperament and a goatee, which was a popular scholar style at the time. However, there were obvious wrinkles between his eyebrows and there was no expression on his face.

"Mr. Qu, the person is here!" said the steward, bowing.

"Then ask!" Qu Qing didn't want to waste his energy and didn't even raise his eyes.

If he wasn't really too busy, he wouldn't have agreed to the manager's proposal. If this woman could really read and write, it would be good for her to help.

"This..." The manager glanced at Xie Xian with an evasive look.

"Zhang Xian!" Xie Xian glanced around and finally understood why she was called here. What did she want me to help with?

"Madam Xian, can you read and keep accounts?" the steward continued to ask.

Xie Xian lowered her eyes and said, "I know a little." Well, according to her character, Zhang Xian can be considered a lady from a wealthy family.

The manager wiped the sweat from his head. Somehow, he felt inexplicably nervous in front of Xie Xian.

"That's great," the manager was delighted that he finally had a colleague.

At this moment, under Xie Xian's unscrupulous gaze, Qu Qing finally raised his head. He squinted his eyes and wanted to see the owner of such an unscrupulous gaze.

When he looked over, he saw the brainless woman in the rumors. She was dressed in red and her face was perfunctorily smeared with dust, but his pretty features could still be seen.

At this moment, in Qu Qing's eyes, Xie Xian changed from a brainless woman to a brainless vase.

When Xie Xian saw him looking at her, her eyes quickly changed from scrutiny to shyness, and she lowered her head slightly.

Qu Qing:?

In order to ensure that there was no problem with Xie Xian's identity, face-to-face questioning was necessary, but Xie Xian's expression made him hesitate for a moment, but he decided to put the overall situation first.

No matter what, he would not be afraid of a little girl.

He motioned the steward to go out, walked around Xie Xian, and asked calmly, "How old was Madam Xian when she started studying?" Qu Qing's question was aimless, "How did Master Yu Du know her?"

Xie Xian thought to herself that this guy was an expert at interrogation. His story was made up based on some melodramatic TV series. Who could remember all the details from the last video he watched?

She tried hard to recall what she said in the morning.

"Ah Xian was orphaned at a young age and went to a girls' school in the clan!" She paused, recalling frantically in her mind. Damn, was it Kangjian or Pingcheng? She couldn't remember!

She had expected that someone would give the melon to the owner and he would eat it again. If she went to Du Xin to verify it, she would be in trouble if she couldn't answer it. Oh, NO.

"Du Lang and I fell in love at first sight. Mr. Qu, please don't ask anymore. I won't agree to your request!" Xian, the stubborn little white flower in love.

Qu Qing:.......

He took a deep breath and tried to keep calm. The doctor told him not to get angry. He continued to ask expressionlessly, "So when did you, Yu Dulangjun, arrive in Pingcheng?"

He chose the time issues that were easiest to verify.

Xie Xian's eyebrows curved slightly: "I can't remember the exact date!"

Qu Qing's face was gloomy. This woman answered the question irrelevantly, and just when he was losing his patience.

"But that day three large ships came from Ping City, and the dock was very lively!" Xie Xian seemed to be lost in memories.

Just now in prison, Tu Zhen said that this Du Xin was the friend who accompanied Cui Jing when he was selling fish in Pingcheng that day.

So she felt that she was fine again and talked a lot about selling fish in Pingcheng. Although she was not in the restaurant, she had heard Cui Jing talk about the process.

Qu Qing's expression relaxed a lot. These were indeed consistent with the information he had heard. Although this woman was a little stupid, as long as she could keep accounts, it would be fine.

He called the steward in and told him to take Xie Xian to familiarize herself with the environment first, and then he prepared to continue drawing his picture.

Xie Xian managed to fool him with great difficulty, but she didn't plan to leave just like that. She took two steps forward and approached Qu Qing.

Her expression was sad: "Mr. Qu, I can do these, but can you send some food to Du Lang? I'm worried that he can't eat."

Qu Qing turned his face away expressionlessly. He really didn't want to pay attention to this stupid woman.

Xie Xian lowered her head and her face seemed to be red again. Her eyes quickly swept across the drawings on the table. Her pupils shrank slightly. It turned out to be...
