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

Xie Xian looked unhappy when she returned to the garden. She felt that she would never get her money back and felt very bad about the loss.

Qing Dai saw that she looked unhappy and asked softly, "Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

They had been worried for most of the night, and only felt relieved when Xie Xian came back. However, Xie Xian's face looked bad, which made them feel relieved again.

Although my lady is extremely powerful, she is still a girl after all. It is not nice to see her outside so late.

Xie Xian waved her hands and said, "I'm fine." What else could she do? She told Qingdai that she went to ask for money, but not only did she not get any, but she was also taken advantage of. She was very angry.

Lying on the bed, Xie Xian tossed and turned. How could she not see Cui Jing's feelings for her after living two lives? But she could only pretend not to know on weekdays. She hadn't dealt with the matter between her and Xie An yet, and now this new thing added up to a complete mess.

Cui Jing and Xie An were good friends. Cui Jing was also the young master of the Cui family. The wife of a son of a wealthy family was a clan member, and there were requirements for her upbringing and family background. Not everyone could be the wife.

As a modern new century woman, Xie Xian just wants to lie down happily and does not want to be a Ms. So-and-so, a woman without even a name.

Therefore, the two of them were destined to have no future, which was what she tried her best to avoid.

Capricorn's view on love is terrifyingly rational. As a modern person, Xie Xian is selfish and destined not to abandon herself for a man.

Covering myself with the quilt, I reflected on myself. As an adult, I was so weak-willed and had no resistance to beauty. Am I too lax?

She took a deep breath, planning to keep quiet for a few days and then talk it out in person later.

Xie Xian had a good habit of never making things difficult for herself. Once she had made up her mind, there was no point in thinking any more and she would fall asleep the moment she touched the pillow.

In the following days, the weather was not good and it rained for several days in a row. Everyone was too lazy to go out.

Xie Xian was a little bored and called everyone together to play Landlord, but she didn't know that Xie and Cui had an argument because of her.

In the library, raindrops fell from the gray sky and slid down the flying eaves and brackets. The eaves bells in front of the window moved slightly, making crisp tinkling sounds, making the room even quieter.

Zhi Mo and Qi Ya stood at the entrance of the stairs, with their heads lowered, not daring to look inside.

Xie An was still sitting at the low table in front of the window, flipping through the chess manual in his hand, but the chess piece in his hand did not fall.

"Jinnian, Ah Xian saved me again yesterday, and I meant it." Cui Jing, who was standing next to the bookshelf, finally spoke first, breaking the silence.

He looked at the rain outside the window with a smiling face and felt much more confident.

Seeing his expression, Zhi Mo beside the pillar opened his eyes wide, looked at Qi Ya with some uncertainty, and said with his eyes, "What's the expression on your husband's face? What happened that day?"

Qi Ya turned his head away quickly. He wanted to cover his face. I don't know! When he woke up this morning, his master had this expression. He was busy cleaning up the mess from last night and only had some free time now. Is it easy for him?

Zhi Mo glanced between Cui Jing and his husband. Although he didn't know what was going on, he could see with his own eyes that his husband had become even colder.

After flicking the charcoal fire in the copper stove, he dragged Qi Ya down the stairs and walked towards the side hall.

"What happened that night?" Zhi Mo was a little suspicious.

"Hey! It's nothing serious. Someone is trying to do something to my husband," Qi Ya lowered his head. Zhi Mo's eyes were too sharp and he felt a little guilty.

"and then?"

"Then he was rescued by the daughter of Xie family who was passing by!" Qi Ya replied with gritted teeth.

Zhi Mo sneered, "It's really rare! The owner of Guanyuan can still be plotted against in his own garden. It's really a rare sight!"

"Is there anyone walking in the garden late at night?" Qi Ya asked with some guilt.

"But I remember that Guanyuan has long since listed Wushisan as a banned drug. This is what the Taoist priest of Laojun Temple said."

Zhi Mo did not miss the expression on Qi Ya's face, he did not believe it. This Five Stones Powder was said to have come from Laojun Temple. It was originally a medicine for treating colds, but somehow it was developed into a strange way by some idle crazy people.

Someone secretly added other things into it. It was said that after eating it, the skin would become white and the soul could leave the body. Then it was praised by many celebrities and became popular in Kuaiji.

But later it was found that long-term use of Wu Shi San would shorten one's lifespan, so it was listed as a banned drug.

Laojun Temple even expelled a disciple for this matter, and was ridiculed by Xishan Temple for many years. Therefore, nowadays, he takes Wu Shi San secretly in his own garden. If he does it in a high-profile manner, Laojun Temple will definitely come to his door and righteously punish him.

Qi Ya's face turned ugly when he heard him say that, and he said angrily, "Guanyuan doesn't belong entirely to the Cui family, and the master hasn't been here for more than half a year, so people took advantage of it."

The Guan Garden on the mountain was originally a royal garden. The Princess's Mansion provided the land, the Cui family took the lead, and the Chamber of Commerce provided funds for its construction. A ten-year lease was signed.

As Guanyuan became more and more famous, the Princess's Mansion was unwilling to just take dividends, so they reached out to participate. In the past few days, Li Xi had been working hard on Cui Jing just to get the income from Guanyuan.

The Princess's Mansion, the Cui Family, and the Chamber of Commerce have equal shares. The Princess's Mansion only contributed a piece of land, and the Mansion is not allowed to interfere in other operations and management. This was agreed upon and signed in the contract.

But after a few years, seeing that Guanyuan was becoming more and more prosperous and countless nobles and officials came and went there, Princess Li Xi became more and more greedy.

She held a grand banquet in the Guan Garden and blatantly interfered in the competition for the list. She suppressed other acting groups for the sake of her own lover, acted arrogantly and seriously disrupted the order of the Guan Garden.

This caused a lot of complaints from people in the Chamber of Commerce, but most of them chose to swallow their anger.

But openly taking Wu Shi San has touched everyone's bottom line.

"Laojun Temple has clearly stated that the Five Stones Powder is a poison. They will be punished by heaven for their actions." Zhi Mo naturally knew that this matter was quite a big deal, and someone immediately came to inquire about it.

In Kuaiji County, although the eldest princess Li Xi is stupid, unhappy, and likes to make trouble, it does not mean that she can do whatever she wants.

There is Laojun Temple, whose abbot is even respected by Emperor Qi as the Old Heavenly Master. There is also Baihe Academy, where the Bamboo Saint is in charge and his students are all over the world.

As the holy place of Confucianism in the south, the dean, Mr. Shan Gong, has a high prestige, so Li Xi has to pay his respects to him when he sees him.

This is also because there are too many forces in Kuaiji County, and the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are fighting endlessly. As a fiefdom, no matter who it is awarded to, it will be a lot of trouble.

So Emperor Qi waved his hand and let this not-so-smart sister take advantage of the opportunity.

At first she was not convinced, thinking that the students of Baihe Academy were not respectful enough to her and had hurt others.

Later, Emperor Qi issued three consecutive imperial edicts to punish her by confining her to the princess's mansion for three months. Li Xi then became obedient.

"Your master is very capable. It would be fine if he just dealt with the people below him, but why did he drag my lady into this?" Zhi Mo was a little angry.
