Yi Xin as a concubine

In the past, with the help of my grandfather, both sides seemed to be at peace. But now, the grandfather's control is no longer effective, and the power of my side is gradually emerging. An opposing trend will gradually form, and there will be more dangers in the future.

It seems that he let his guard down too much.

"Haha, it's okay. Once the kang is ready, there will be no shortage of firewood."

The woman's slightly excited voice calmed Chu Xingchen's heavy heart, and his frown slowly relaxed.

It was night time, and the two of them walked side by side on the path. Xin Baoer was afraid of the dark, and couldn't see the road clearly, so she walked very slowly. Chu Xingchen was not in a hurry either, and even vaguely hoped that the road was longer.

He, who is usually a man of few words, was racking his brains to find a topic to talk about.

"How did you get here?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Chu Xingchen wanted to slap himself. He was really talking about things that were not relevant.

"Hehe!" Xin Baoer was also stunned by the question and didn't know how to answer for a moment. She couldn't say to the male host, 'I am sick and can't stand the stimulation' or 'Your woman doesn't like me'.

They dealt with it with a few fake smiles, each of them had their own thoughts, and tacitly changed the subject.

"There's no problem with that earthen kang." After a moment of silence, Chu Xingchen suddenly spoke again.

"Really? That's great." Xin Baoer answered absentmindedly. She was thinking that it would be great if she had plastic sheeting so that she could build a greenhouse and eat fresh vegetables in winter.

"By the way, can I spread the method of making this earthen kang?"

Xin Baoer had just come back to her senses from her fantasy of fresh vegetables when she heard Chu Xingchen's slightly hesitant question. She was stunned, and didn't quite understand why he asked her this.

"I know it was you who came up with the idea of ​​the earthen kang. If you disagree, I can pay you so it won't be for nothing."

Chu Xingchen's voice was still gentle, but it was not difficult to hear the tension in his words, like the slight disappointment that came after hopes were dashed.

"No, Second Master, that is the wisdom of our ancestors. I just read a lot of books and picked up other people's wisdom. I dare not claim it as my own. You think too highly of me."

Xin Baoer quickly made her position clear, her expression was a little out of control, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. Her cheap father was rushing to give her money, so how bold must she be to dare to accept his money.

A mouse licking a cat's nose - it's seeking death!

Hearing her say this, Chu Xingchen knew that he probably misunderstood her, but thinking of what he asked her in the morning, he couldn't help but test her again.

"The northern border is bitterly cold, and many former officials were exiled there. The area has also just experienced several wars, and the people are short of food and clothing. I'm afraid they will have a hard time this winter. With this heated kang, perhaps more people can survive."

Xin Baoer looked at the man beside her in surprise. Was this man sharing information with her? Should she take the opportunity to ask more questions? After all, she was a woman in the inner house before and knew very little about the world's affairs. Even if she wanted to help, she didn't know where to start.

"Second Master, do you know what the world is like now? Baoer has been in the house for a long time, and occasionally heard a thing or two, but he only has a half-understanding. Baoer thinks he is well-read and has some calculations in his mind, but he is ignorant of the world and doesn't know where to start."

Chu Xingchen heard this, and a ray of golden light suddenly shot out from his eyes as warm as autumn water, and his heart was also very excited, "She asked this, does it mean that she is willing to accompany me on this journey."

Because he was too excited, Chu Xingchen stopped and remained silent for a long time.

Xin Baoer took a few steps forward, but didn't hear the man's reply. She was suddenly shocked, 'Oh no! Women are not allowed to show up in this era.' She unconsciously clenched her fists and gritted her teeth. Just as she was about to kneel down and apologize, she heard the man chuckle.

"You're asking these questions because you don't intend to leave and have decided to get involved, right?"

Xin Baoer was still rehearsing in her mind how to beg for mercy in order to save her life. When she heard this, she was stunned and asked, "You won't punish me?"

Chu Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He walked closer to Xin Baoer, lowered his eyes and looked at the petite and weak woman in front of him. He couldn't help but raise his hand to rub her loose hair, and asked with a smile: "Why should I punish you?" He was so happy that he didn't even have time to express himself.

"I am considered your concubine. In your opinion, women should stay in the backyard, take care of their husbands and children, and not get involved in your big affairs."

Xin Baoer really didn't understand. The men in the Xin family were considered to be the most respectful to their wives in this era, but they only informed them of what happened in the front hall and let them deal with it, but did not allow them to participate. Could it be that the person in front of them was an accident?

"First of all, you are not a concubine. Secondly, I don't think women are useless. After all, brains are the same for both men and women." Chu Xingchen smiled with his eyebrows curved, and his tone was full of intimacy and ease.

"Puchi!" Xin Baoer was amused and thought to herself, 'Okay, as long as you don't mind, I can always live up to your indifference.'

"Are you cold?" Chu Xingchen suddenly changed the subject and asked with concern.

She didn't realize it until Chu Xingchen reminded her, but now that Xin Baoer had noticed that her tattered clothes were leaking air everywhere, she shivered involuntarily.

"It's a bit cold!" Xin Baoer smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry," Chu Xingchen leaned over and picked the man up horizontally, "Hold me tight, I'll take you back."

"Ah!" Xin Baoer screamed, and without thinking, she raised her hands and hugged the man's neck.

Don't think too much, I was just scared.

"Hey, you haven't told me what's going on outside."

I have to say that Xin Baoer still has some professionalism in her. Since she has decided on the path she wants to take, it is natural that the sooner she understands the world, the better.

"No hurry, you need to take a hot bath now, and bandage and apply medicine, otherwise you will get sick."

After saying that, he ignored Xin Baoer who was still trying to struggle, picked her up, and walked back in big strides.

When they returned to the yard, Xin Baoer looked at the man's long legs with envy, "It must be that a tall man has long legs. She ran for such a long time, but she was held by this man and came back in just two quarters of an hour."

Xin Baoer felt that she was jealous.

"Woooo~woooo~"

The crying sound came before the person arrived. Xin Baoer didn't even need to look back to know that it was the girl Lancao who came.

"Hold it back, I'm fine, hurry up and get me some water to take a bath, I'm almost dying of pain."

The crying stopped abruptly, "Oh, okay, I'll go right away."

After saying that, he ran away without looking back, looking like someone who was in a state of panic.

"This girl is still so irritable. Good girl, let mother take a look. Oh! Why are there so many wounds? Girl, you have suffered a lot. If the master and the mistress knew about this, they would be heartbroken." Mother Lin rushed over and took the girl to look at her for a long time. The more she looked, the redder her eyes became, and finally her voice choked with sobs.

Xin Baoer let Mother Lin look at her. She glanced at Wei Yu and the others, indicating that she was fine and asked them not to worry, while she also comforted Mother Lin.

"Mom, I'm fine, I just look scary, I'll clean it up, don't worry!"

"Okay, don't worry. Come on, mom will help you wash up. Then I'll apply some medicine that Doctor Du prescribed. You'll be fine tomorrow."

Mother Lin wiped her tears while helping the girl to the bathroom. She was very careful not to touch the girl's wound. It was obvious that she was heartbroken.

Chu Xingchen watched the people being taken away, nodded to Wei Yu and others, turned around and strode back to the study.

"Tsk tsk, the flower protector, are you willing to come back?"

As soon as he entered the door, Mo Xuan Yifan's teasing voice rang out. Chu Xingchen frowned and glared at him.

"What are you going to do with that girl Bijun?"

Jokes aside, he didn't forget the serious matter and asked.

"Go and warn her. Now is not the time to deal with her. The Xin family has just severed ties with her. If I deal with the lady's maid for her, then all the previous drama will be in vain."

"She is a woman with great ambitions and will not care about those small people."

"I remember that Heqilou has organized intelligence records for nearly ten years. Forget it, let's just get the information from the past five years." Ten years of information is too much, it will tire her out.

"You've seen them all?" Mo Xuan Yifan looked puzzled. Is there something wrong with his cousin? He was busy with all the big and small things happening right now, so how could he have time to read the previous ones?

"Eighth Miss wants to see it." Chu Xingchen answered as a matter of course.

"Why is she, a woman, looking at this?" Mo Xuan Yifan was even more confused.

"Stop talking so much nonsense. Are you going or not? If not, let Wangchuan go." Chu Xingchen ran out of patience and said coldly.

"Go, why don't you go, cousin, you are so fierce~"

Mo Xuan Yifan was in a good mood after kissing his cousin before leaving.
