Xiao Yanxi's expression changed. He took out a dart from his body and threw it towards the distance. There was only a faint groan, and then there was no movement.

Xiao Yanxi wanted to check the situation, but suddenly stopped. Some things are better left in a vague state, otherwise the person behind the scenes would reveal his true intentions and become desperate, which would cause more trouble.

Suddenly, he felt a strong heat in his chest. Xiao Yanxi reached out and fumbled around. After taking out the talisman paper, it turned into a wisp of smoke.

"Sir, are you okay?"

When Jin saw the cold arrow shot at her, she was almost scared to death. When she saw that Xiao Yanxi was fine, she finally came to her senses and hurried forward.

"No problem."

With just these two calm words, Jin's heart finally settled down.

Her eyes were red. "We don't know how many dangers we'll encounter along the way. You must be careful."

It was not easy to get the chance to be close to her son. Although it was a bit hard and tiring, she was very content. If anything happened to Xiao Yanxi, she would definitely not live in disgrace.

Xiao Yanxi nodded and said nothing more.

Xie Fanjin comforted her: "Aunt Jin, don't worry, he won't die."

Jin suddenly remembered something, a gleam in her eyes, and she grabbed Xie Fanjin's hand: "Miss, you and Mr. Xiao are already husband and wife. When we settle down, you can get married, right?"

Jin realized that only Xie Fanjin could save Xiao Yanxi's life, so she had to tie Xie Fanjin and her son together tightly.

Xiao Zhenzhen poked her finger. As for being husband and wife, it doesn’t seem to count, right?

Although the little maid climbed onto Xiao Yanxi's bed, she was kicked off the bed before she even took the last step...

Xiao Zhenzhen finally couldn't help but say, "Well...she's just a maid...at least we have to wait until my third brother gets married before taking a concubine, right?"

On the surface, she got along well with Xie Fanjin, but if Xie Fanjin were to be her third sister-in-law, she would still feel a little disgusted. After all, Xie Fanjin was her third brother's maid.

Xie Fanjin wanted to kick Xiao Zhenzhen into the ravine: "Do you know how to speak? Who said I was his maid? I am not his maid now!"

Xiao Zhenzhen said confidently, "Between a master and a servant, loyalty is paramount. A servant cannot serve two masters. As a servant, you cannot have any other intentions!"

Xie Fanjin grabbed Xiao Yanxi's collar and said, "Tell me, am I your maid?"

If Xiao Yanxi dared to say yes, she would let him be struck to death by lightning!

Xiao Yanxi's expression remained calm: "I don't treat you as my maid."

Just as Xie Fanjin's expression softened a bit, Xiao Yanxi continued, "But you have indeed been enslaved, and the government has registered it."

Xie Fanjin gritted his teeth and said, "Then why don't you return my indenture to me and then go to the government to have my slavery removed from me?"

Xiao Yanxi said seriously, "At first, I didn't even know your name. The Eastern Palace was raided, and the servants and stewards disappeared long ago. I also don't know where your indentureship is."

At this moment, Chen Xinyu's gloating voice suddenly sounded behind him: "So, Xie Fanjin, you can only be your cousin's maid in this life."

Chen Xinyu was very happy in her heart. Because no matter what, Xiao Yanxi would never marry a maid as his wife. No matter how capable Xie Fanjin was, in the end, she could only be a concubine for the rest of her life!

Xie Fanjin gritted his teeth and put a hand on Xiao Yanxi's shoulder: "What's wrong with being a maid? I, a maid, can sleep with him openly. You want to climb into his bed? That's a dream."

Chen Xinyu was so angry that she choked: "You, you are a girl, and you keep talking about sleep all day long. You are shameless and you are not even worthy of being your cousin's maid!"

Xie Fanjin was so angry that she wanted to beat Chen Xinyu, but she felt that it was unfair. If she scolded Chen Xinyu, she would feel that it was lowering her own value.

She was so angry that she was spinning around, and then she heard Jin say, "Miss Chen, if you have any dignity, then stop meddling in other people's affairs. A woman should abide by her duties and not elevate herself by belittling others."

Chen Xinyu was so angry that her face turned red and she wanted to scold Jin for being a nobody, but when she thought about it carefully, she realized that Jin was Xiao Yanxi's biological mother after all.

Even if Xiao Yanxi did not recognize Jin as her mother, she could not be so ignorant of etiquette.

Seeing that Chen Xinyu was choked and speechless, Xie Fanjin gave Jin a thumbs up.

Jin smiled and lowered her voice to Xie Fanjin, "I see you haven't had your period for a long time. Are you pregnant..."

Xie Fanjin's face changed, and he quickly interrupted: "That's enough, this is impossible."

Jin didn't say anything more. She looked at Xiao Yanxi with a complicated look, and Xiao Yanxi's eyes became deep.

Soon, Bingyi and Qian Yuanqi came back, followed by two people, a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, and a man about forty years old.

The two of them knelt on the ground when they saw Xiao Yanxi: "Thank you for saving my life, sir. If you don't mind, my father and I are willing to stay by your side and serve you."

Xiao Yanxi looked at Bingyi, who immediately said, "I told them they didn't need to thank me, but they insisted on coming with us to see you."

Xiao Yanxi's expression remained calm: "You're welcome. We just did a little favor and don't need any reward. You should find another way out."

After Xiao Yanxi finished speaking, Jin handed over some dry food: "You should find another way to make a living. Take these dry food with you on the road."

The woman hesitated for a moment, took Jin's dry food and handed it to the man behind her, then glanced at Xiao Yanxi.

She pulled out a purse from her pocket and said, "Thank you very much for rescuing me, sir. I don't have anything valuable on me except this purse. Consider it a thank you gift to you. After today's separation, I'm afraid we may never see each other again."

A purse is usually a token of love between a man and a woman, and the woman's feelings are clearly expressed.

The woman was quite pretty, and she looked at Xiao Yanxi with affection and a look of reluctance.

Xie Fanjin crossed his arms over his chest. Even if he was a hero who saved the beauty and the beauty pledged herself to him, it should be to Bingyi or Qian Yuanqi. What did it have to do with Xiao Yanxi?

Jin was a little worried. She had always felt that the girl had ulterior motives, so she gave her some dry food and let her go. She didn't expect that the girl would actually retreat in order to advance.

As soon as I saw Xie Fanjin's expression, I felt that Xie Fanjin definitely didn't like this girl and must be jealous.

If his son really accepts this girl, Xie Fanjin will definitely be angry. How can Xie Fanjin be devoted to his son in the future?

If his son encounters danger again in the future, Xie Fanjin will not ignore him, right?

Jin mustered up her courage and was about to persuade Xiao Yanxi.

Then Xiao Yanxi said to the girl in a calm tone, "No need."

Xiao Yanxi refused the girl's purse, turned around and left without even looking at the father and daughter.

After the group walked away, the man asked the woman in confusion: "Didn't you say you wanted to stay with him before? Why did you change your mind?"

The woman smiled and said, "We can't be impatient. The more we insist, the more suspicious he will become."

"Master, I think there's something fishy about those two people." Bingyi pushed the cart and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xiao Yanxi said coldly: "Since you have seen it, why did you bring them here?"

Bingyi opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

He just suspected it, but couldn't be sure.

Xie Fanjin turned around and glanced at the two figures in the distance.

The place where they were trapped was not nearby. They ran all the way here just to say thank you and did not insist on staying with Xiao Yanxi. It seemed normal to outsiders, but if you think about it carefully, you will know the problem.

Bingyi would not take the initiative to mention Xiao Yanxi to them, so how did they know that Xiao Yanxi was the master?

When it got dark, everyone was looking for a place to stay.

Suddenly, a sedan chair came hurriedly from the distance, then it stopped and a person came out from inside.

"Brother Cheng Gang, long time no see!"

Cheng Gang saw the person coming and hurriedly bowed: "Master Ren, long time no see, what are you doing..."
