"Why do I feel like I shouldn't agree to this? The more you do this, the more uneasy I feel!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you!"

Chu Mingxiao looked at Su Qiuyi with a firm gaze, which made her feel that Chu Mingxiao was a trustworthy person.

On second thought, although it would be dangerous to keep Chu Mingxiao, even if he was not kept, their family would still be in potential danger.

It is obvious that there must be people who are jealous of their family by buying large amounts of land in the village and building such luxurious courtyards and houses.

So keeping Chu Mingxiao has both advantages and disadvantages, and it also inadvertently provides a layer of protection for their family.

Su Qiuyi hesitated for a long time, thought about it again and again, and finally thought it through and nodded slightly.

"Good! Deal!"

Without waiting for Chu Mingxiao to speak, she raised her hand again, "I want to add one more!"

Chu Mingxiao listened patiently and had no intention of interrupting her.

Su Qiu hesitated for a long time and said in a low voice, "I guess you are from Beijing?"

She was just guessing, but she felt that people of status could be divided into a few types. Either they were descendants of large families and came out to work for their families.

Either he was an official under the emperor, or she guessed that Chu Mingxiao should be the latter, secretly coming out to suppress the bandits?

She had to guess so because both times she saw him he was dealing with bandits.

Chu Mingxiao nodded, looking inquiringly.

"If you want to stay, please identify yourself and tell me the dangers that exist, so that I can have a way to deal with it and don't have to wait for death in the dark!"

Chu Mingxiao, who had always been good-tempered and agreed to everything, changed his expression when he got here.

"Can't you tell me?"

"I promised you that we are in the same boat. Although I can't help you, you should know what kind of danger you and your family are in! This is fair to us! I am not used to letting others control my life!"

"At present, I only know that your name is Chu Mingxiao, and you are a general or a leader. Anyway, you have soldiers under your command! I don't know anything else! I am worried! Can you understand?"

Chu Mingxiao thought deeply, frowned, and did not reject Su Qiuyi's request immediately.

But a man and a woman in the corner became anxious.

"Lingyu, don't move!" The man held down the woman who was about to stand up, and reminded her in a deep voice, "Young Master has his own plans!"

"But...you forgot that the young master almost...this is their territory! We can't be careless!"

The woman called Lingyu looked anxious.

When she thought of the experiences the young master had told her after he came to her on his own, her hair stood on end.

It was truly a life-and-death experience. If that girl hadn't saved the young man, grass would have grown on his grave by now.

"That girl?" Thinking of this, the woman named Lingyu widened her eyes and looked at the man next to her.

These two people are Chu Mingxiao's most trusted subordinates, a pair of twin brother and sister named Lingze and Lingyu.

They are also the people who know him best. The three of them grew up together, practiced martial arts together, studied together, and established Yuwei Pavilion together. It is because of this that Chu Mingxiao can tell them all about himself.

Now looking at it this way, that girl...

"Brother, could that girl be the one who saved the young master?"

Lingyu turned her head and asked the man next to her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

Lingze hesitantly shook his head, "No way? Young Master said that the guy was very heroic..."

The two of them looked in the direction of Su Qiuyi, but they couldn't see the heroic appearance that their young master described.

Su Qiuyi didn't urge him. Anyway, it would be better if Chu Mingxiao didn't agree. Then she wouldn't have to worry and take the risk of keeping him here.

Chu Mingxiao frowned and thought for a long time, then he exhaled and said softly, "Only you know!"

"Okay!" Su Qiuyi didn't intend to make other people's affairs known to everyone.

As long as she is the only one who knows it, that's enough.

"I'll tell you in the evening!" Chu Mingxiao glanced around and spoke in a low voice.

Su Qiuyi didn't care about it. She just did it at night. She told him the address of Qinghe Town.

Chu Mingxiao glanced at the corner calmly, then stood up and walked out.

When Lingze and Lingyu saw the young master leaving, they immediately followed him.

Su Qiuyi sat in the teahouse for a while, then got up and left.

She left the teahouse but did not go home. Instead, she strolled along the street.

She found that there were quite a few shops for sale here, and if she wanted to open a bookstore, she didn't need a very good location.

As the saying goes, good wine needs no bush. If the things in her bookstore are good and there is enough supply, there is no need to worry about not being able to sell them.

Her headache now is how to explain where the money came from.

Although Chu Mingxiao was left behind, he was her cousin, her cousin from the Xu family, so it would be strange if he had money.

I walked with a frown on my face and didn't realize I had arrived at Caishikou.

Now that we are here, we might as well go in and buy some vegetables. It’s time to cook.

When Su Laosan and his two daughters came back in the evening, Su Qiuyi had already prepared four dishes and a soup for them.

Next to her was Chu Mingxiao, who had negotiated terms with her during the day.

Seeing some movement in the yard, the two of them ran out quickly.

Chu Mingxiao came over as soon as it got dark and explained his identity clearly. The transaction between the two began at this moment.

I had already made it clear what I was going to say to Su Lao San.

Su Qiuyi was slightly shocked when he learned that Chu Mingxiao was the prince of Duke Dingguo of Kyoto.

Although she had guessed a little, she didn't expect this person's status to be so high.

Su Laosan was the first one to look at the open door. When he saw a man coming out, he subconsciously picked up the whip and was about to whip him.

"Uncle Su, it's me, Chu Huai!"

Chu Mingxiao is a martial artist, and his ears and eyes are more sensitive than those of ordinary people. How could he not notice Su Laosan's intention?

He quickly opened his mouth and shouted.

Uncle Su was the one who called him when they were in the cave. Besides, Su Lao San also recognized his voice, so he barely managed to retract the whip.

But his face still looked a little bad.

"Uncle Su, I..."

"What are you doing here again? Didn't you leave?" Su Laosan asked with a stern look on his face, his hands moving non-stop as he unloaded the carriage.

Chu Mingxiao hurried forward to help. Even though Su Laosan looked unhappy, he still diligently helped tie up the horse and feed it water.

Su Qiuyi pulled her two younger sisters into the house.

By the time they entered the house, Su Wenxing had already been attracted by the delicious food on the table, but Su Mingyue asked questions worriedly.

"Sister, why is Mr. Chu here again? How did he find our house?"

Su Qiuyi urged her two sisters to wash their hands and eat, and said nonchalantly, "I met him on the street during the day! He hasn't found his family yet! I took him home! He gave me five taels of food every day! We are in need of money right now, so we should take him away!"

"But sister... looking at dad, it seems like he doesn't like him!" Su Mingyue whispered in Su Qiuyi's ear, pointing outside.

"Alright! Don't worry about it, kid! I have my own plans!"

As expected, when he entered the house, Su Laosan still had a somewhat unfriendly expression on his face, but after being called back into the house by Su Qiuyi and talking to him for a few words, he came out and accepted the fact that Chu Mingxiao lived at home.
