Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

The two of them strolled leisurely in Yuncheng, and when they walked back, night had already fallen quietly.

Mu'er and Fuya had already been taken back to the boat.

However, when the two of them reached the dock, they saw a figure.

Looking closely, it was the girl Xue Yunmeng had rescued today. She was sitting quietly on a stone on the dock, her figure looking a little lonely in the twilight.

"Why are you here?" Tao Jiuxi walked forward and asked softly.

When the girl saw Tao Jiuxi, she immediately recognized her as the one who paid today. She knelt down with a pleading look in her eyes: "Girl, please take Xiaohe in."

"Take you in?" Tao Jiuxi frowned slightly, thinking to himself that he was not the one who saved the person today, so he should ask Xue Yunmeng how to take care of this girl.

"Today, that benefactor girl saved me. Although she told my father not to sell me again, my father... my father will definitely sell me again when he has no money... Please, girl, take me in. I can do any work, washing clothes, cooking, everything. As long as you are willing to take me in, I am willing to do anything."

Xiao He's face was filled with anxiety, her eyes gleaming with a mixture of fear and anticipation. She knew in her heart that she would rather be a slave in this girl's home than be a concubine to the seventy-year-old Master Li.

She heard that not only was Mr. Li very old, but he also had some creepy special habits. She trembled all over just thinking about it and was unwilling to step into that terrible situation at all costs.

"Ayi?" Tao Jiuxi had just been deceived by Gou Wa's mother, and she was still feeling scared. She was confused about whether she could trust others.

"You only brought Mu'er with you this time. Why don't you leave this little girl behind and let her help you take care of Fu Ya? What do you think?" Shen Zhiyi put forward his idea.

However, in his mind, he had already quickly planned to send someone to thoroughly investigate everything about this little girl. He had to make sure that she had no ill intentions before he could be truly at ease.

"Thank you, sir, thank you, young lady!" Su Xiaohe was so grateful that she kowtowed continuously.

After standing up, she was very smart and immediately took the bag from Shen Zhiyi's hand. Her movements were agile and she seemed very clever.

When they returned to the ship, Xue Yunmeng had not yet returned, so Tao Jiuxi and Shen Zhiyi returned to their respective rooms.

"Miss, you're back just in time. I just made the medicine. Drink it while it's hot." As soon as Mu'er saw Tao Jiuxi come in, a bright smile immediately broke out on her face.

"You can't drink any of it while it's hot, wait until it cools down and then swallow it."

Tao Jiuxi looked at the bowl of medicine on the table. Just by smelling it, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

"Mu'er, take this girl to change clothes. From now on, she will help you take care of Fu Ya." Tao Jiuxi ordered.

"Sister Mu'er, my name is Xiaohe." Xiaohe seemed a little nervous. She tried hard to force a smile, thinking to herself that she must leave a good impression on Mu'er.

"Miss, you are so kind. I have lost a lot of weight by taking care of Fu Ya these days." Mu'er said with gratitude.

Only those who have done it know how hard it is to raise a child; it's not an easy task. Although Fuya is a very well-behaved child, Mu'er is only twelve or thirteen years old. In the process of taking care of Fuya, she often feels a little overwhelmed.

"Any weight you lose is an insult to my finances. Let's start making it up tonight."

"Thank you, girl, hehe."

After saying that, Mu'er led Xiaohe out.

After changing into comfortable clothes, Tao Jiuxi sat quietly beside the bed, gazing at Fu Ya's peaceful sleeping face.

Just then, Shen Zhiyi came over.

His eyes fell on the bowl of medicine on the table, which had not been touched at all. He walked over, picked it up, and walked towards Tao Jiuxi, saying softly, "The medicine is almost cold, drink it quickly."

Tao Jiuxi took the bowl of medicine and just took a small sip when the extremely strong bitter taste instantly spread in her mouth. This bitterness was more bitter than any medicine she had ever drunk before.

"Oh my god, this is too bitter! My mouth, nose and chest are all bitter." Tao Jiuxi couldn't help but scream out.

"Of course medicine isn't bitter. Drink it quickly." Shen Zhiyi advised patiently.

Tao Jiuxi knew that although the medicine was bitter, it was very beneficial for regulating his body.

So she gritted her teeth, made up her mind, and drank all the medicine in the bowl in one breath.

After drinking the medicine, Tao Jiuxi suddenly hugged Shen Zhiyi's neck and kissed him without saying anything.

In an instant, the bitter taste of the medicine spread in Shen Zhiyi's mouth.

"It's so bitter, you should try it too." Tao Jiuxi let go of Shen Zhiyi and muttered.

Shen Zhiyi seemed to be still immersed in the brief intimacy just now. He smacked his lips and murmured, "Very sweet."

"I suspect there's something wrong with my taste buds. Let me try it again." Shen Zhiyi came over with a wicked smile on his face.

"Don't give me that. There's still some in the bowl. If you want to taste it, just sip it twice." Tao Jiuxi smiled coquettishly and handed the medicine bowl to Shen Zhiyi.

At this time, Xue Yunmeng, who had just got on the boat and rushed over to return the money to Tao Jiuxi, stood there in a daze.

As soon as she stepped into the room, she saw Tao Jiuxi drinking medicine with a frown on his brow.

She had specially prescribed the medicine according to the bitterest recipe. Although it was extremely bitter, it had a very good effect on Tao Jiuxi's body.

Seeing Tao Jiuxi frowning while drinking medicine, Xue Yunmeng felt secretly proud.

But this secret joy was short-lived, because what came into view next was the scene of the two people "flirting".

At that moment, Xue Yunmeng seemed to be isolated in a world where only she was hurt.

These two people are so good that they can even stir up feelings in an ambiguous way over something like taking medicine.

Wasn't Shen Zhiyi the cold and ruthless person who never cared about love or affection and kept strangers away?

I haven't seen him for only two years, how come he has become like a different person, looking so mean?

Thinking back, I was attracted by his cool temperament at the beginning, but now he seems like a completely different person. Today he even wore a garland on the street. Xue Yunmeng found it really boring.

"Bang, bang, bang." Xue Yunmeng stood at the door and knocked on it several times with a speechless look on his face.

Shen Zhiyi instantly stopped playing around with Tao Jiuxi and quickly returned to his serious demeanor.

Tao Jiuxi's cheeks also flushed and she hurriedly got out of bed.

"Please come in, Miss Xue." Tao Jiuxi said softly.

"Miss Tao, I'm returning the thirty taels I lent you today."

Xue Yunmeng gently placed a purse on the table, turned around and prepared to leave.

Tao Jiuxi hurried forward and said, "Miss Xue, the girl you rescued today doesn't want to go home. If you have any plans for her, you might as well discuss it with her. If you don't have any plans, I want her to stay on the boat to take care of Fu Ya."

"It's up to you. I don't have any better way to arrange her except letting her go home." After Xue Yunmeng said this, he walked out.

But before she had taken a few steps, Tao Jiuxi stopped her and said, "Ms. Xue, when I was walking down the street today, I happened to see some clothes that would perfectly match your extraordinary temperament. If you don't mind, please accept them."

Today, Xue Yunmeng was so busy hanging out at the home of Mr. Li, who was over seventy years old, that he didn't even have time to buy new clothes.

If I want to buy it now, it's already late and the clothing stores are probably closed.

Although Xue Yunmeng felt a little uncomfortable because of Shen Zhiyi's liking for Tao Jiuxi, after meeting him a few times, she also found that Tao Jiuxi had many good qualities. At least every time Tao Jiuxi spoke, she made people feel very comfortable.

"Thank you very much, Miss Tao. I wonder how much these clothes are worth. I'll give you another twenty taels." Xue Yunmeng said as he quickly took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket.

"Miss Xue, there's no need to be so polite. You can just stay in the room in front of mine. Go change your clothes first, and we'll have dinner together later." Tao Jiuxi said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xue Yunmeng still insisted on putting the silver on the table, then picked up the clothes Tao Jiuxi bought for her, turned around and walked out the door.

Before leaving, she glared fiercely at Shen Zhiyi who was sitting upright in the back.

Shen Zhiyi was absolutely certain that he hadn't seen it wrong. Xue Yunmeng had indeed glared at him, and there seemed to be a hint of contempt in her eyes...

Ah, this...

But he didn't pay much attention.

After Xue Yunmeng left, Shen Zhiyi gently closed the door, muttering, "I'll try this medicine again."
