Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After dinner, the two boys were brought out, and Xu Ruolan chatted with her mother and Mrs. Chang in the house.

Liu Xu led Mr. Xu and the others to the study.

In the study, the Xu family's father and son looked serious, even Liu Xu had lost his smile. The Chang family's father and son looked puzzled upon seeing this.

"What happened, little sister?" Chang Yifei asked.

"Godfather, Third Brother, take a look at this first! This is what I prepared to ask Uncle Fu to pass on to you this morning!" Liu Xu took out the morning letter and handed it to Chang Hongxuan.

Originally, this letter was addressed to Chang Yifei, but given the relationship between the two families now, it is better not to hide it.

Moreover, she believed that Chang Yifei would tell Chang Hongxuan after receiving the letter. After all, this was not a trivial matter.

The father and son quickly finished reading it, their eyes filled with shock.

Chang Yifei looked at Liu Xu, not knowing what to say. What kind of luck did this girl have, she could attract a prince just by going shopping.

Liu Xu seemed to understand and shrugged, indicating that she was helpless too.

Chang Hongxuan frowned and looked at the Xu family father and son, "Uncle Xu, Mingzhe, are you planning to help the Ninth Prince?"

"Even if we don't count helping the Ninth Prince, the Xu family is a royalist. The court is in chaos now, and it's still unknown who will win. The Ninth Prince has the imperial edict in his hand, and he is notifying the Marquis to return to the capital to rescue him. It would be fine if the Xu family didn't know about it, but now they have no choice!" Old Master Xu sighed.

"Godfather, we don't want to drag you into this. We just want you to be mentally prepared. If... you can pretend you don't know."

Liu Xu said to Chang Hongxuan sincerely, and then looked at Chang Yifei.

"Third brother, I want brother Huaijin's contact information."

Xu Mingzhe: "Brother Chang, many people saw the Ninth Prince being rescued by Xu'er and the others. If those people chase us, they will find out sooner or later. The Xu and Liu families will definitely be targeted. Rather than waiting to die, we might as well give it a try. I believe in the character of the Marquis. Besides, can a man who can kill his father and his king be a good emperor?"

The Chang family father and son looked at each other, and Chang Hongxuan smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Xu, Mingzhe, I guess the girl didn't tell you that the Chang family has been helping the Mu family army to purchase military rations, right?"

Xu Yiru and his son shook their heads in surprise.

"So, don't say those foreign words. Girl, when you knew that your third brother was helping to buy military rations, he never thought of abandoning the Chang family. Instead, he helped to give advice." Chang Hongxuan looked at his newborn daughter lovingly.

San'er told him about this only when they decided to formally recognize this godparent relationship.

Liu Xu: Can you let it go? Her father is a general of the Mu family army, and the mushrooms and meat that were transported from her home were all paid for and labored by her family, but can those people be trusted?

So, in the end, the three members of the Chang family left the Liu family not long after, and they also took away the New Year gifts that Liu Xu had prepared for them. Although they were not expensive things, they were rare.

Chang Yifei wanted to take some to Zhenxiu Pavilion, but his parents didn't give him the chance. He could only wink at Liu Xu and ask her to send some to the store.

Liu Xu had this intention in mind, so naturally she would not refuse. Chang Shazi looked like he had made a profit, which made her mouth twitch.

Did he forget that she also had a share in the Treasure Pavilion? Moreover, she would also make money from selling these things...

After seeing the Chang family off, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.

They have done everything they can and left the rest to fate.

In the evening, after Ye Miaoyin and her daughter returned home, they heard about the Chang family's visit. Master Ye glanced at his young apprentice, got a positive answer, and nodded slightly.

Han Duoduo was gossiping with Liu Xu about Xiao Yan's uncle and nephew.

"Junior sister, you don't know, Xiao Yanzi's uncle is so annoying. He forbids this and that, and always says that men and women should not touch each other. He also said that I was presumptuous and unruly. If I hadn't gone to see him because he was injured, I would have thrown him out!"

Liu Xu glared at her, "What did you do to Xiao...Brother?"

"I didn't do anything. I just fed him and gave him medicine. He didn't want me to pat his head, so I pinched his face instead!" Han Duoduo said while counting on her fingers.

"Oh, he said I was unbecoming because I saw Xiao Yanzi's face was flushed red, and I asked him if he wanted to go to the toilet! I didn't ask the wrong thing, did I?"

Liu Xu was speechless: "Senior Sister, you are a girl!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Han Duoduo rolled her eyes.

Liu Xu replied, "Is it appropriate for a girl like you to ask a man if he wants to go to the toilet?"

"He is just a little..."

"He's not young anymore, he's just one year younger than you. Some families have already engaged him! Besides, no matter how young he is, he's still a boy."

Liu Xu really thinks that her senior sister is sometimes just a fool!

"Don't meet those two people alone again!"

A cold voice rang in the ears of the two sisters, and they were startled. Ye Miaoyin had walked behind them without knowing when.

The two of them stood up straight and said in unison: "Yes, Master!" "Yes, Mom!"

"Starting tomorrow, Xu'er will start practicing internal strength, and Duoduo will be by her side to guide her. I will go and talk to your Grandpa Meng." Ye Miaoyin left after she finished speaking. Han Duoduo wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.

The two sisters followed back to the main room to eat with different moods.

On the other side, He Lei went to help with the fire, and Yan Yi was also talking about this with Xiao Yan.

"Your Highness, how could you let Miss Han touch your head and face? If she were in the palace, she would have been dragged away long ago."

"Uncle Yan, you also said it was in the palace!" Xiao Yan replied slowly.

It is still unknown whether he can go back now.

"That can't be..."

Yan Yi wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Xiao Yan.

"Uncle Yan! Miss Han... has no ill intentions! On the contrary, she and Miss Liu saved our lives. It was just a touch on the head and face."

"But Your Highness..."

"Okay, Uncle Yan, I know what I'm doing!" Xiao Yan's voice was a little cold.

Yan Yi heard this, glanced at him, and agreed in a low voice.

After lunch, He Lei carried Xiao Yan and the other person to the newly built fire pit. He placed them near the stove, while He Lei slept at the end of the kang.

As night fell, the weather became colder.

He Lei made all the arrangements for the two of them, added some firewood to the stove, and then slowly went back to sleep.
