Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Tao Jiuxi was extremely happy when he heard this!

It turns out that you will suffer first and then enjoy the sweetness!

On the way here, I was thinking about the hard life of living under someone else's roof, but I didn't expect that I could enjoy a peaceful life.

She had suffered a lot in her previous life and didn't want to suffer at all in this life.

I just misunderstood my cousin. He is really a great man.

Look at my cousin’s handsome face again. He looks cool but has a warm heart. What a good man!

good man!

"Jiang Qu, take Miss Tao to the flower hall for dinner first." Shen Zhiyi turned his head slightly and instructed the servant behind him.

"Yes, Master." Jiang Qu accepted the order respectfully, then walked up to Tao Qingwan and made a gesture of invitation. "Please come this way, Miss Tao."

"Qingwan takes her leave." Tao Qingwan bowed and saluted with dignified and proper manners.

She turned around and took Tao Jiuxi's hand, ready to leave.

When Tao Jiuxi heard that he could finally eat, his eyes suddenly lit up with joy. He saluted Shen Zhiyi happily and couldn't wait to leave.

"Wait. Little cousin, did I let you go?" Shen Zhiyi's cold voice came from behind, like a cold wind, making the two sisters stop instantly.

"What?" Upon hearing this, the two sisters looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, not knowing what their cousin meant.

"Miss Tao, please come this way." Jiang Qu urged from the front.

"I've liked her for a long time..." Tao Qingwan looked embarrassed, her eyes full of worry.

"Eldest sister, you go first, I will come later." Tao Jiuxi understood the situation instantly. This meant that her elder sister was to go to dinner and leave her alone.

"But..." Tao Qingwan was still a little hesitant.

"Don't say but, just go." Tao Jiuxi urged. She knew in her heart that since her cousin had already spoken, she must not disobey him.

Under Jiang Qu's urging, Tao Qingwan had no choice but to leave.

As she walked, she thought that her sister was now a person with her own ideas, so she should be fine.

After Tao Qingwan left, Tao Jiuxi immediately put on a flattering smile.

"I wonder if there's anything else you want to know, cousin?"

"Talk away from me, I'm not deaf." Shen Zhiyi frowned slightly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, the smile on his face froze a little, and a trace of dissatisfaction rose in his heart, but he took a few steps back helplessly.

"Okay. When you see me in the future, keep this distance." Shen Zhiyi said lightly.

Tao Jiuxi took a look and saw that the distance was at least five meters. He muttered to himself: He really thought I was willing to get so close to him. It's just that he has a pretty face, so I just don't look at it.

But the distance is so far, wouldn’t you have to shout to speak?

"Why did my cousin leave me alone?"

At this time, Jiang Shun came over holding a rosewood carved tray, on which was neatly folded an ink-colored piece of clothing.

Even though the distance was a bit far, Tao Jiuxi could see that the clothes were finely made and obviously made of top-quality material.

"Jiang Shun, give her the cloak." Shen Zhiyi ordered.

"Cousin, you want to give me a cloak? You are so nice. Although I like red the most, I also like black." Tao Jiuxi was very happy and a bright smile bloomed on his face.

Jiang Shun handed the tray to Tao Jiuxi. He was worried that Tao Jiuxi was too small to carry it, so he moved very gently.

"Hehe, thank you, thank you!" Tao Jiuxi took the tray and nodded and bowed repeatedly, looking very playful and cute.

At this time, Shen Zhiyi spoke.

"My dear cousin, this cape was made by my mother herself, and took her three months to sew it."

"It was made by my aunt. It's so precious, and you actually want to give it to me."

Tao Jiuxi was shocked and felt that this gift was too expensive for her cousin whom she had just met.

Besides, the cloak should be in a light and elegant color, or bright red, which would look better on her as a girl.

She was about to speak and say that she couldn't have it.

"But my cousin used it to wipe her nose and tears yesterday." Shen Zhiyi's tone became colder and colder, like ice.

"No...I didn't wipe it. I wiped it with the back of my hand." Tao Jiuxi raised the hand that was wiping tears, indicating that he did not use the cloak to wipe his nose.

"Did you touch my cloak?"

Uh!!! It turns out it wasn't a gift to me, but a way to settle the score later.

If it's dirty, just wash it, but since she's left alone today, it's definitely not something that can be solved by just washing it.

"Then...then I'll compensate you with one? But..." Tao Jiuxi was a little flustered and his speech became stuttering.

"My little cousin doesn't look like she's rich." Shen Zhiyi raised his chin slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

"Indeed... there are only a few copper coins left." Tao Jiuxi lowered his head helplessly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Then how to compensate?" Shen Zhiyi continued to ask.

"If you don't have money to compensate me, then I'll make one for you?" Tao Jiuxi had an idea. Although she didn't know how to sew, her elder sister did, so she could ask her elder sister to teach her.

"How can you do the same thing as my mother did?" Shen Zhiyi stood up from the rosewood marble-inlaid chair and slowly walked to the table.

"It's different, of course it's different." Tao Jiuxi muttered softly.

"Then how did you compensate me?"

"Cousin, do you have any good ideas?" Tao Jiuxi looked at Shen Zhiyi eagerly, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

"Otherwise, I'll have to trouble you to wash all my clothes every day. What do you think?"

What? What did my cousin say?

Just now he said that he would let them treat him as their master and thought that he could enjoy a good life. But it turned out that the cousin in front of him only wanted his sister to enjoy a peaceful life.

woo woo woo...

Tao Jiuxi thought, forget it, it’s just washing clothes, it’s not like cleaning the toilet. I used to wash dishes in a restaurant kitchen.

"It's my honor to wash clothes for my cousin." Tao Jiuxi forced a smile and replied.

"Then it's settled. Cousin, you will come to my place to wash clothes every morning." Shen Zhiyi's tone left no room for doubt.

"Yes, cousin." Tao Jiuxi replied helplessly.

"Don't eat until you finish washing."

What? You can’t eat until you wash up?!

Tao Jiuxi widened his eyes, his heart filled with astonishment and dissatisfaction.

Her cousin is a human or a dog!

"besides......"

And? You can't eat until you finish washing. What else?

"Even if you come to do laundry, you are not allowed to trespass into Wenlanju."

Wenlanju is the courtyard where Shen Zhiyi lives.

Tao Jiuxi thought to himself, who would be willing to come to see you? If you don’t have a face like this, if you don’t have nowhere to go, who would care about his Xie Mansion.

Tao Jiuxi was kicked out before he could say anything.

"Master, are you sure you want to take in the two girls from the Tao family?" Jiang Shun frowned, full of confusion.

In his eyes, his master always acted decisively and never did meaningless things. It was really surprising that he decided to take in the girl from the Tao family.

Shen Zhiyi looked quietly at the letter in his hand.

This was just received this morning, and it records in detail what Tao Qingxi and Tao Jiuxi encountered along the way.

As they traveled along the way, Shen Zhiyi had already sent people to secretly protect them, so they were able to arrive in the capital without any danger.

They didn't want to bother with the matter anymore, but unexpectedly, the two sisters found his newly purchased mansion by accident.

The mansion was named after his mother's surname, Xie, which happened to be the same surname as his uncle's family.

The Xie Mansion, where the Tao sisters were originally going to go, has been quite powerful in the court in recent years. In just a few years, Xie Mi, the eldest son of the Xie family, has become a third-rank official.

Having said that, the Xie family has a large number of people, and the second and third branches live in the same house, and many dirty things have been reported. It is an absolute den of tigers and wolves.

"Tao Hongyuan is involved in the same matter as we are investigating. If he hadn't been involved, I don't think the Tao family would have been wiped out."

"It's a pity that Magistrate Tao's reputation for virtue spread far and wide."

"Even if you found this place by accident, just stay here." Shen Zhiyi was rarely nosy, perhaps just because he didn't want the loyal minister to have such a tragic end.

"I understand, but if the two Miss Taos find out they've found the wrong mansion, I wonder how they'll react?"

"They came here on their own. It has nothing to do with me." Shen Zhiyi said expressionlessly.

"That's right. If the master hadn't sent people to secretly protect her along the way, the girl from the Tao family would never have been able to arrive in the capital safely." Jiang Shun sighed softly.

"Send someone to inform Butler Zhao that there is no need to rush back." Shen Zhiyi ordered again.

Butler Zhao is from my mother's family and has been with her for more than twenty years.

If he returns home, he will definitely reveal his flaws.

"How should the affairs of the mansion be handled?"

This mansion had been purchased six months earlier, and all affairs had been managed by Housekeeper Zhao. According to the laws of this dynasty, Shen Zhiyi had not yet separated from his father. Housekeeper Zhao had simply hired a few honest maids and servants from other families to serve them, and to avoid publicizing Shen Zhiyi's identity, he had not informed the servants.

"Just do as you see fit."

"Yes, master." Jiang Shun was naturally not good at housekeeping, but he had to obey the master's orders.

Jiang Shun looked at his master with a frown on his face, and he knew in his heart the importance of this investigation into the epidemic control in Yunzhou.

It was originally thought to be a plague caused by a flood, but during the investigation it was discovered that the matter was far from that simple.

The imperial court allocated a large amount of disaster relief food, medicine and funds to Yunzhou, but only one-tenth of the supplies actually arrived in Yunzhou.

Plague was rampant in Yunzhou, and starving people were everywhere.

It was rumored among the people that this was caused by the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

As the new emperor's most trusted person, Shen Zhiyi naturally took charge of this matter.

However, the matter became more and more complicated as they investigated. First, several officials in charge of disaster relief died suddenly. Later, it was discovered that the plague in Yunzhou was not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

"Jiang Shun, you don't have to keep a low profile when you return to Beijing this time." Shen Zhiyi put down the letter in his hand.

"Yes, master." Jiang Shun responded respectfully.

"Jiang Qu will come with me to the palace today. You go and arrange for someone to keep an eye on that girl."

"My subordinates will do it now."
