The female doctor farmed the land, bought a husband and set up a separate household

"come in."

Si Chenan's voice came from the darkness, and Xia Shan immediately slipped into the shack.

"Master, please forgive me. Xia Shan is late." Xia Shan sighed. "When the old lady was being escorted, the officers switched her several times, which delayed her for a long time. But seeing that you are fine, Xia Shan is relieved."

"Is my mother okay?" Si Chenan asked.

"Madam was sent to open up wasteland when she arrived in Quan'an County. Dong Ling is watching over there, so it's fine for now." Xia Shan said, "Jin Jie'er and Chen Ge'er are in some trouble, but with Brother Qingyu here, it should be resolved soon."

Upon learning that his mother and younger brothers and sisters were all fine, Si Chenan finally felt relieved.

"Send a message to them immediately. When I am ready, I will go and pick them up to reunite with them."

Xia Shan was slightly stunned and asked, "Young Master, you're not leaving?"

Si Chenan shook his head.

Xia Shan was very puzzled about his decision.

When the Si family was raided, the young master had already made an agreement with them that once he was freed from the government's control, they would take him away to reunite with his family, and then they would live a free and open life.

But now that the opportunity is right in front of him, he doesn't leave?

Jiang Sining also found it strange. In the original novel, Si Chenan wanted to rebel. How could he rebel while hiding in this small village?

Is it because her appearance changed the plot, or is it because this guy is fascinated by her beauty and talent?

She quickly shook her head in self-mockery.

The original body was indeed born with a good appearance, but it would not make a stranger forget the family hatred, and Si Chenan was not the kind of person who couldn't figure it out.

If you don't understand, don't think about it, just ask directly.

So she walked over with confidence.

"Who?" Hearing the footsteps, Xia Shan immediately became alert and grabbed the hilt of his sword.

Jiang Sining lit a candle at the door of the shack and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

Xia Shan is so confused that he can’t do it anymore.

Why should he be afraid?

It is him who has his face covered with a black cloth and is holding a sword in his hand!

No matter how you look at it, he should be more like a bad guy, right?

Seeing Jiang Si Ning coming in, Si Chenan introduced: "He is the Si family's secret guard, his name is Xia Shan."

Jiang Sining frowned slightly: "This secret guard is too reckless. Shouldn't he find out the situation clearly before coming to see you?"

"Of course I found out..."

"Then you still don't know who I am?"

Xia Shan really didn't understand.

A country girl, not only was she not afraid of him when she saw him, she even spoke to him so aggressively.

So he looked at Si Chenan, hoping that he could explain her identity.

Si Chenan knew that this matter would be revealed sooner or later, so he cleared his throat and said, "Xia Shan, come and meet the young lady."

"what?"

The only eyes exposed on Xia Shan's face suddenly widened, and he was completely confused.

This country girl in front of me is actually the young lady?

But how is this possible!

The young master has only been exiled here for a few days. He suffered such serious injuries and it’s lucky that he’s still alive. How come he’s already married?

With a country girl!

"Young Master, what on earth is going on?"

He blinked as he spoke, meaning that if you are being held hostage, give a signal immediately.

But unfortunately, Si Chenan did not give him any signal, but said: "Young Madam bought me from the government, married me and registered me in Liuyun Village."

In other words, the young master is not getting married, but... marrying into the wife's family?

Things happened so suddenly that Xia Shan’s brain was almost not enough.

But he knew that the young master had been very smart since he was a child. Since he chose to stay, he must have his reasons.

As a retainer, there are some things he doesn't need to know why, he just needs to obey.

So he decisively put down his sword, half-knelt in front of Jiang Sining and saluted: "Subordinate Xia Shan greets the young lady."

Suddenly someone knelt in front of him. Jiang Sining felt very uncomfortable and said, "In our family, there is no need to bow like this."

Xia Shan didn't dare to get up, but turned to look at Si Chenan.

"Listen to the young lady."

Xia Shan's heart skipped a beat.

There's something wrong with the young master!

It was really hard for him to imagine that the young master who was so talented and looked down on the world in the past would actually listen to the words of a country woman. It felt like he had become a different person.

From this perspective, the young master’s position in the family will be very worrying in the future.

We must quickly write to Brother Qingyu and the others to tell them about this.

"Thank you, Madam."

"What do you plan to do with him?" Jiang Sining asked.

"I won't make the arrangements," Si Chenan said, "You are the boss, you make the arrangements."

Xia Shan:......

Jiang Sining: ...This guy is quite cunning. He just becomes a hands-off boss, right?

But having more people in the family is also a good thing.

The concept of male superiority and female inferiority is very serious in this world. There are too many things that women cannot do. Si Chenan is an exile and has no human rights or social status at all.

It is indeed much more convenient to have a retainer like Xia Shan.

And judging from his appearance, he might know a little bit of martial arts, so he can at least protect Jiang Yan and Qianqian.

So she asked, "Have you ever learned martial arts?"

"My lady," Xia Shan said, "I have been practicing martial arts since I was three years old, and I am good at using a broadsword."

"Can you use your inner strength?"

"This..." Xia Shan hesitated for a moment before replying, "I know a little bit, but not much."

Jiang Sining's eyes lit up. Knowing internal energy would be a rare research material!

Then she smiled and said, "Okay, then you can stay. But it's not appropriate for you to show up now. You should hide in the woods and be responsible for protecting the safety of your family. When the time is right, I will arrange a suitable identity for you."

"Yes."

"You can go now."

"Yes."

Xia Shan looked back at Si Chenan, then turned and left.

After he left, Si Chenan said, "I have four secret guards. They are all orphans picked up by my father. They grew up with me and are very loyal to me. It's not easy for you to control them."

Jiang Sining thought to himself, it’s enough for me to control you!

No, no, she didn't want to control anyone, she just wanted to study them.

"I don't care why you choose to stay, and I don't want to know." Jiang Sining said, "But since you want to stay, some things must be made clear first."

"Madam, please speak."

"We are a couple in name only."

"I know." Si Chenan said, "I am very grateful to you for helping me. I dare not have any unreasonable expectations."

"Also, if I help you heal your wounds and detoxify you, you have to give me something in return." Jiang Sining said, "I am somewhat interested in internal energy. You have to teach me martial arts, and when necessary, you need to cooperate with me in research."

"can."

"We don't keep idle people in our family. You need to do your best to work for the family." Jiang Sining said, "If one day you want to leave, just tell me directly. I will never stop you."

"My lady, you are very understanding. I am very grateful to you."

"That's all for now," Jiang Sining said, "If I have anything to add later, I'll tell you."

"Since you have made three rules, may I ask you a question?"

"You can ask, but I can't promise to tell you."

Si Chenan's gaze passed through the flickering candlelight and fell on Jiang Sining's face. He asked very seriously, "May I ask, madam, where did you get the instruments and medicines that you used to treat my injuries that night?"

After a pause, he asked again: "And where did the half chicken tonight come from?"

Jiang Sining: ...

As expected of a villain, he has a very useful brain. After just a few contacts, he was able to notice the clues.

But he definitely couldn't tell anyone about the space. His trust in Si Chenan wasn't at that level yet, and he might not understand even if he told him.

Then let him guess.

"Go to bed early."

After saying that, Jiang Sining turned and left.

Looking at her leaving back, Si Chenan's eyes flickered.

His wife is indeed very different.
