Before fleeing famine, marry a playboy!

Just as Xie Shi was still sighing, Li Yuening suddenly changed her tone, "Da Jin has a total of 34 states, and the 9 states in Jiangnan alone contribute one-third of Da Jin's population."

Xie Shi frowned in thought, and even his frown looked incredibly beautiful. Li Yuening thought that those girls in the brothels in Jinling City were really a treat for the eyes.

"Madam, do you mean that His Majesty will increase the number of immigrants from Jiangnan?"

Li Yuening elaborated, "Jiangnan is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and many men and women have learned to read since childhood.

As far as I know, most of the people from Jiangnan made it to the imperial examinations over the years, which means that there were many people from Jiangnan serving as officials in the court.

Many of their family members are still in Jiangnan, serving as their financial supporters.”

Xie Shi's eyes flashed. Isn't it just a purse?

"People are close or distant to each other. If we really have to make sacrifices, I think we would choose the one who is farthest away first. After all, if you lose your wallet, you can get a new one." Li Yuening stopped talking after she finished speaking. She had said enough tonight, enough for Xie Shi to verify, and he would definitely gain something. He would come to find her then.

"It's getting late today. Thank you for your visit, my dear. You should go to bed early." She stood up, bowed and walked out.

Xie Shi smiled bitterly in return. The amount of information was a bit overwhelming and it made it difficult for him to sleep.

Li Yuening walked to the door and dropped another bombshell, "Nanshan is the only way to the northwest. I don't know whether the gathering of those Jianghu people is a good thing or a bad thing."

Xie Shi had received enough shocks and had accepted them calmly. At this moment, he felt that Li Yuening was playing a prank on him.

He chuckled, "Madam, I admire you."

The two walked side by side, and Li Yuening said, "My dear, you are too kind. In your opinion, who can be trusted in the Xie family?"

Xie Shi still did not admit his identity. "If you trust me, I am willing to test the truth for you. As you said, what you hear is not as good as what you see."

"Thank you very much for your help, my dear. However, I am in a hurry and it won't be too late." Li Yuening gave the other party some time. If Xie Shi didn't respond, she would give up and change someone else.

"Xiaosui'er, let's go back." She called softly. It was still a little cold at night. Xiaosui'er's body was covered with dew and her nose was red.

After returning to the inn, Li Yuening glanced at the door of the next room and said, "You seem to be very cold. I'll go find Doctor Feng and get you some medicine."

Otherwise she was afraid that the little girl would get sick.

"It's too late. It's not convenient for Madam Li to go. Qingyi, you go." Xie Shi selfishly didn't want Li Yuening to find another man so late.

Xiao Sui'er sniffed and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, my lord. You are such a good person."

"You're welcome. Help your wife back home. I'll have someone send the medicine over."

After watching the master and servant enter the room, Xie Shi did not go back.

"Xiaosui'er, have you seen my purse?"

Xiao Sui'er looked at Li Yuening's waist and found it was empty, so she started looking around the house.

Upon hearing the noise, Xie Shi wanted to go back to the tea room to look for it, but then he heard Xiao Sui'er say in surprise, "So it's here. It might have fallen into the gap by accident when I was changing clothes."

"It's okay, just pick it up when it falls, it's not important."

The voices gradually died down. Xie Shi held the railing tightly with one hand, his heart in turmoil. For a moment, he felt that Li Yuening had guessed his identity.

The voice from inside the door came again. The woman's voice was playful and lively, unlike the steady voice in front of Xie Shi.

"Xiao Sui'er, hurry up and pour your wife a glass of water. She has talked too much and her mouth can hardly open."

"My lady, the tea is getting cold. I'll go get a hot pot."

"It's okay. The hot stuff has to cool down. I can't wait."

Xiao Sui'er asked curiously, "Madam, aren't you in the tea room? Isn't the water in the tea room enough for you to drink?"

Li Yuening took the tea and drank it all. At the end, she lightly tapped Xiao Sui'er's forehead and said, "You are such a little housekeeper. You ask about everything."

Xiao Sui'er touched the area that didn't hurt and asked, "Madam, do you want more?"

"No more..."

Qingyi came over with the medicine soup and saw her husband standing guard at the door of the lady's house. "My husband, it's getting late. You should rest early."

"Well, come back later, I have something to tell you." After saying this, Xie Shi ran away in a hurry, but the place he went to was not his room.

Qingyi: Where are you going so late?

Xie Shi returned to the tea room he had been in before. The door was open and nothing was cleaned up inside.

The table was simply furnished with a red clay teapot and two teacups, but the two teacups were placed on the side where he was sitting.

From the outside, it was impossible to tell which one was used by Li Yuening, but Xie Shi knew that Li Yuening had never touched it again after he hurriedly drank the tea once.

A heat rushed up to the top of Xie Shi's head. It was so rude. He had been embarrassing himself every time he was with Li Yuening, which must have left a bad impression on her. The heat that Xie Shi had felt gradually dissipated.

There were footsteps in the distance. Xie Shi quickly took the tray and put away the tea set, then threw away a dime and fled in a hurry.

Feiyi waited with her head nodding. The door was pushed open, and the wind caused the candle to sway. "My dear, you are back?"

"Ah."

"My dear, are you in a bad mood?" Feiyi asked cautiously when she saw her husband looking down at a set of tea sets with a strange expression on his face.

Xie Shi didn't say anything, just stared at the thing in his hand. When he came to his senses, the tea set was already in his hand.

"My dear, you still want to drink tea so late? I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep." Feiyi said as she reached out to take it.

"No, I can do it myself. You can pack them in a wooden box. I will take them back to Jinling."

Feiyi looked left and right and saw that this was just a set of the simplest red clay tea sets, which had no collection value.

Seeing that Feiyi didn't ask any further questions, Xie Shi breathed a sigh of relief. This was why he liked to take Qingyi and Feiyi out with him. Most of the time, they would just follow orders without asking reasons.

After Qing Yi came back, Xie Shi called the two of them over and said sternly, "Qing Yi, you must hurry to Yecheng and find out the news about Shengjing from last year to now, focusing on the movements of the major clans."

"Yes."

"Also, find out which prince is going to the northwest and see the reaction from the master's family."

Qingyi remembered them all in her heart.

Xie Shi instructed Feiyi again, "Feiyi, go to Nanshan and find out if the Nanshan Tomb is real. Send a message back and wait for orders."

Feiyi's eyes sparkled, "My dear, are you also interested in that treasure?"

"Fei Yi, your safety is the most important thing this time. Don't take any risks. The martial arts world is not as beautiful and simple as you think. If the news is true, you will be in great danger this time. It is important to save your life."

Seeing that the young man was so serious, the women in blue and red did not dare to be careless and clasped their fists to accept the order.

"Let's set off tomorrow morning."

"But if we all leave, there will be no one to serve you, my dear? Should we send a message to Ziyi to come?"

"No need. It's not like your husband hasn't suffered before."

That night, Xie Shi was tossing and turning with so much on his mind that he couldn't sleep. Li Yuening slept soundly for the first time.

The second day in Jinling.

When Li Yuening was helped downstairs by Xiaosui'er, Xie Shi's servants were no longer there. She guessed that he had sent them to confirm what she said.

After breakfast, we set off, and Yuwen Kan and his close follower Ayu joined us.
