In Meixiang Pavilion, Jiang Muxia added a seat for Ji Di, and everyone drank tea and waited for Tang Zhongbai.

"Miss Ji, please wait a moment. We have an unwritten rule that we have to wait until everyone is present before we can start eating." Jiang Muxia explained with a smile.

Cao Jun'an was sipping peach blossom wine alone. She neither welcomed nor opposed Ji Di's arrival. Jiang Pizi was playing with the cup in his hand and stealing glances at her from time to time.

In contrast, Ji Diru sat there calmly, with a nonchalant look on his face, not showing any helplessness at all.

After a while, Tang Zhongbai came back and sat directly next to Jiang Muxia. He gave Jiang Muxia a look that indicated nothing was happening and picked up his chopsticks to greet everyone, "Let's eat."

There was silence at the dinner table, as if no one was there. Ji Di was quietly eating the food in front of him. A light cough broke the silence.

"I see you guys have dinner together every day. Is there something important you want to discuss? If there's anything I can help with, please let me know."

No one responded, but she didn't feel embarrassed.

Jiang Muxia put down her chopsticks and asked, "I heard that Miss Ji is good at martial arts, how could she be beaten by that kind of scoundrel?" She stared at Ji Di, paying attention to her expression.

"Ah..." Ji Di was very surprised and put the chopsticks in his hand heavily on the table. "Who said that? How can a weak woman like me know any martial arts? Damn the person who spread the gossip. If this kind of reputation spreads out, who will dare to come to the building to find me in the future?"

Her eyes were red, and she picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank it all, seeming to be very angry.

Jiang Muxia's gaze moved to her hands. There were jewelry rings on her slender fingers. Except for the thumb, all the fingers of both hands were adorned with different styles of gemstone, gold and silver rings.

She is really generous.

Jiang Muxia's eyes flashed, it was really an attempt to hide something that made it even more obvious.

She smiled and said, "The ring on Miss Ji's hand is really beautiful. Look at me, I have never been able to find a suitable one. The one on your hand is quite novel in style. I wonder if I can try it on?"

Ji Di's eyes darkened, but he smiled and took off the jade butterfly ring on his right index finger and handed it to her.

The moment she took the ring, she held Ji Di's hand and couldn't help but exclaimed softly, "Oh, Miss Ji wears it all year round, you see her fingers are covered with calluses."

Ji Di pulled it out and said calmly, "Yes, there is a price to pay for loving beauty."

Jiang Muxia looked at the jade butterfly ring carefully and said meaningfully, "If you ask me, you should wear less rings. This kind of thing is different from other jewelry. Wearing it all year round will leave marks. Not only will it look ugly, but if you gain weight, you won't be able to take it off and it will get embedded in your flesh. How painful it will be."

She returned the ring to Ji Di and sighed, "Alas, I am not lucky enough to enjoy it.

Ji Di took a look and saw that it was just as she said. She had no jewelry on her and her face was bare, but it couldn't hide her natural beauty. Her face was like a peach blossom, her eyes were like autumn water, and her gaze was bright when she looked up and talked and laughed. Such a superior appearance, any man who saw her couldn't take his eyes off.

She suddenly had an urge to take out a knife and scratch this annoying pretty face.

She curved her lips and smiled, "Miss Jiang is really good at joking. I can't compare with you. I am a brothel girl. I used to hang out in a theater troupe and learned some tricks used on the stage. But they were just fancy tricks. I didn't expect that they would become an obstacle now. It's really difficult to move around in the brothel."

After saying that, he stood up and bowed to everyone, "Thank you, my dear lady, for inviting me to dinner. I am full and will not disturb you any more."

She twisted her waist and left. The moment she closed the door, Jiang Muxia looked up. The murderous look in Ji Di's eyes made her grip the whip at her waist.

The door slammed shut, separating the two people into two spaces and temporarily isolating the danger.

"Tang Si." Cao Jun'an shouted loudly to the outside.

Tang Si pushed the door open and walked in. "Throw away this set of tableware."

Tang Si was stunned for a moment, then he noticed the cups and bowls of tea placed on an empty seat.

"Okay." He pulled a towel from the wooden rack at the door and put it on his hand. He wrapped the cups and plates in the towel and quickly left the house.

Willow catkins opened the window early to dispel the smell left by Ji Di.

Tang Zhongbai shook his head helplessly. This person always hated someone without hiding it, and dared to put on a bad face in front of others. Today, he was really upset.

……

Ever since Lou Xiaofeng led his men into the Tang residence to demand an explanation but was outmaneuvered, these people have been dormant like snakes in winter, and no trace of them has been found since.

Tang Zhongbai and Hu Yu kept their promise and sent people to send Lou Quan back to his hometown safely. It was a fact that Wu Fan killed people, and his crime was unforgivable. Hu Yu pleaded for him and allowed him to be exiled to the bitter cold land in the north with his parents.

Although life in the North was difficult, he was still alive and able to live with his parents, which was another kind of fulfillment.

A month later, all the thousand acres of fields in Jiang Muxia's Four Seasons Farm had been planted, and the seedlings had already emerged, looking lush and green and growing very well.

It was a sunny and windless day.

She took Qinghong and Caiyun in a carriage to Zhuangzi.

Three days later, Yin Yusheng was going back to Suanzao County, so she prepared a truckload of local specialties for him to take back and share with everyone.

The carriage passed by the peach orchard at a leisurely pace. We saw a middle-aged man in a rough gray cloth and shorts, holding a shovel in his hand, and a young man holding a pair of large scissors following behind him, wandering in the woods.

"My dear, they are destroying our peach trees." Caiyun pulled open the car curtain and pointed at them and yelled, "What are you doing? Have these trees provoked you? You are going to harm them."

Qinghong wanted to cover her mouth, but she pushed him away and glared at him instead.

Jiang Muxia asked Tang Si to stop the carriage and jumped out. Caiyun rushed into the woods first, with her hands on her hips, to argue with them.

Qinghong wanted to stop her, but Jiang Muxia raised her hand and let her go.

The middle-aged man did not share Caiyun's opinion. He looked at the roadside from a distance and saw a girl with an extraordinary temperament standing there. He guessed that she was the new owner of Four Seasons Manor.

He threw the shovel to the ground and bowed to Jiang Muxia from a distance.

Jiang Muxia returned the gift, smiled and stood on the side of the road without saying a word.

"Madam, do you want to pull Caiyun back?"

"Nothing, it's all a misunderstanding." She turned around and told Tang Si, "You go first, we'll walk back."

Jiang Muxia walked with Qinghong on the country road. It was winter and the weather was getting colder. When she spoke, white steam came out of her mouth. There was no one in the fields. She looked at the vast land and felt sad. In the past two years, she had earned nearly 3,000 acres of land through her own efforts. She also had other small businesses and her life was booming. When she met that person one day, she would not let him down.

With a lot of thoughts in her mind, she would return to Suanzao's home with the Tang family's marriage proposal team in mid-November.

After the ceremony, she changed her identity and officially became Tang Zhongbai's wife. The marriage proposal team turned into a wedding welcoming team and set off for the capital.

The capital city, the place she has been thinking about since she was reborn.

Now that her benefactor was where she was, she could finally go to look for her openly.
