A farmer's daughter who traveled through time: Marrying a sickly man

"Master?" Xia Tian turned around in surprise, his eyes moving back and forth between Mu Feng and Shen Nian.

No wonder!

"Yes, he and Mu Yang are both my bodyguards." Shen Nian looked into Xia Tian's eyes and replied calmly.

"Oh." Xia Tian nodded to show that he understood.

When she heard Mu Feng call Shen Nian "Master", she knew that Shen Nian's identity was extraordinary, just as she had guessed.

But unexpectedly, Mu Yang was not his brother, but a guard.

If someone has bodyguards, then his family must be either rich or noble.

Shen Nian looked at Xia Tian and saw that when he heard that Mu Feng and Mu Yang were guards, he just raised his eyes slightly and was not particularly surprised, and felt a little relieved.

He is a smart man!

Then he turned around and introduced Mu Feng, "This is Xia Tian, Miss Xia, you can just call her sister-in-law."

"Sister-in-law?" Mu Feng was even more surprised.

"Yeah." Shen Nian nodded.

Seeing that Mu Feng seemed hesitant to speak, Xia Tian guessed that the two of them had a lot to talk about, and it would not be convenient for her, an outsider, to be here.

He got up tactfully and prepared to make lunch.

"Brother Shen, you two can sit for a while. I'll go cook first."

"Ah."

Seeing Xia Tian enter the kitchen, Mu Feng was about to speak, but Shen Nian raised his chin slightly and said, "Sit down and talk."

Mu Feng quickly sat down, and Shen Nian took another cup and poured him a glass of water, "Drink some water first."

"Thank you, master." Mu Feng picked up the cup, drank it in one breath, and looked at Shen Nian with burning eyes.

Shen Nian didn't hesitate any longer and briefly explained to him what had happened during this period.

Mu Feng had just arrived home at the same time as Xia Tian, so he didn't have time to ask anything.

Hearing Shen Nian say that Mu Yang died two months ago and that the master had married a peasant girl, he was filled with grief. He stood up, knelt on one knee, and said in a painful voice, "Master, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been late, Mu Yang wouldn't have died, and the master wouldn't have married Miss Xia."

"Get up and talk." Shen Nian's voice was light.

Mu Feng sat down again, "Then Miss Xia..."

"She is very good. You should respect her as you would me in the future."

Mu Feng's heart tightened, and his tone became anxious, "Master, do you really want to live with Miss Xia..."

Shen Nian raised his hand and interrupted him, "Listen to me."

Then, Shen Nian told Mu Feng how she took care of Xia Tian after he came home and how his health gradually recovered.

Only then did he realize that if it weren't for Miss Xia, he might not have been able to see his master.

Mu Feng didn't ask how Xia Tian got the medicine that could help the master detoxify. He only knew that Miss Xia was now the master's savior!

Then he would be his savior from now on!

"Okay, I understand." Mu Feng nodded seriously.

Knowing that the master is no longer in danger, I feel relieved and even more grateful to Xia Tian.

"Master, how are you recovering now? Let me take your pulse."

Shen Nian didn't say anything and stretched out his hand.

For those who practice martial arts, simple pulse diagnosis is no problem.

Mu Feng placed two fingers on Shen Nian's wrist, felt it for a while, and his eyes lit up. His master's internal strength had recovered 30%, and he felt that the internal strength was purer than before.

"Master..." Mu Feng looked at Shen Nian with starry eyes, a look of surprise on his face!

"Yeah!" Shen Nian nodded with a smile on his face. It's just what you thought.

Mu Feng suppressed his excitement and asked, "When will we return to the capital?"

"No rush! Wait until I'm fully recovered."

"Alright." Mu Feng nodded, "Then I will stay and protect you."

"Ah."

It just so happens that summer’s lunch is almost ready.

She looked out the kitchen window and saw that the two of them looked relaxed, so they must have finished their communication.

He stuck his head out and asked in a clear voice, "Brother Shen, the meal is ready. Shall we eat first?"

"Okay." Seeing Shen Nian nodded, Xia Tian began to serve the rice.

With Mu Feng around, I cooked more rice in the summer, fried pork with chili peppers, fried eggs with leeks, and fried meat with tofu, made some cold bamboo shoots, and boiled bone soup. Although they were all home-cooked dishes and there were only four dishes and one soup, the portions were quite generous.

She put the dishes on the tray and was about to take it out when Mu Feng came in.

He smiled and greeted Xia Tian, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'll serve it."

"Okay!" She didn't act pretentiously. It would be better to have someone to help.

Mu Feng brought the dishes, and Xia Tian then brought out the rice bowl. The three of them ate directly under the apricot tree in the yard.

Only after seeing Shen Nian pick up his chopsticks did Mu Feng pick up the bowl and start eating.

He took a bite of the dish and his eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, the food you cook is so delicious." He didn't expect that his sister-in-law, a farm girl, would have such cooking skills. The taste of this dish is really amazing.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Xia Tian said with a smile. She was happy when someone praised her cooking skills.

After all, cooking is about getting recognition!

Xia Tian took a pair of clean chopsticks and picked up a piece of food for Shen Nian. "Brother Shen, eat more too."

"Yeah." Shen Nian's expression was gentle.

She saw Mu Feng finish half a bowl of rice in a few bites, and picked up a dish for him with chopsticks, "You're welcome, eat more."

Mu Feng ate without even looking up, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Xia Tian and Shen Nian both ate one bowl of rice and stopped eating, and the rest all went into Mu Feng's stomach.

Mu Feng was very satisfied with the meal. Ever since he separated from his master, he had to sleep in the open air to lure away the pursuers. It had been a long time since he had such a good meal.

After dinner, Xiatian cleaned up the kitchen and prepared to take out the pig intestines first.

Seeing that there was not much water left in the water tank, he took out the bucket and went to fetch some water.

When Mu Feng saw Xia Tian was going to fetch water, he quickly took over the shoulder pole and said, "Sister-in-law, tell me where the well is and I'll go fetch it."

"You just came today, take a rest first."

"It's okay, I'll go."

Xia Tian couldn't resist him and looked at Shen Nian.

Shen Nian nodded, "Let him go."

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Nian agreed, Xia Tian told him the general location of the sewer well, and Mu Feng went out to fetch water.

Just now when they were having dinner, Shen Nian told her that Mu Feng would stay and live with them in the future. Since they were all family now, it would be okay for him to do some work.

Seeing Mu Feng go out, Shen Nian called Xia Tian, "Come sit for a while, I want to tell you something."

He thought it would be better to make things clear with Xia Tian. She was so smart that she must have guessed that his identity was not as simple as a refugee from famine, so there was no need to hide it any further.

Moreover, after spending some time together, he knew her well and knew that she would never harm him.

Even if I told her my identity, she would not make it public.

He was so mysteriously confident about her.

Shen Nian hadn't realized it yet, but he had unknowingly classified Xia Tian as one of his most trusted people.

"What's the matter? Brother Shen." Xia Tian walked over and sat opposite Shen Nian, looking at Shen Nian with a serious face.

"I think you have guessed it. I didn't end up here because I was fleeing famine." Shen Nian looked into her eyes and said seriously.

"Well, from the first moment I saw Brother Shen, I knew that his aura was definitely not just that of an ordinary person who had fled from famine and hardship."

Xia Tian didn't pretend to be ignorant and spoke frankly about his thoughts.

"Then have you ever thought about what if I'm not a good person?"

"How could that be? Although I don't know Brother Shen's specific identity, he is definitely not a bad person."

"What do you mean?" Shen Nian was curious. How could she be sure that she was not a bad person?

"Whether a person is bad or not can be seen from his eyes. Even if he hides it well, it will reveal itself inadvertently. Although Brother Shen speaks little and often has no expression on his face, he is definitely not a cold-blooded person." Xia Tian said seriously.

Shen Nian was secretly shocked. She didn't expect that a farm girl like her who couldn't read a single word could have such knowledge.

She really doesn't behave like a girl born in a farming family, but rather like she was raised in a wealthy family.

But no matter who she is, as long as she is on his side.

Shen Nian figured it out and smiled, "Do you believe me?"
