She went out to greet him in person, fearing that something might go wrong with Situ Yuan.

After all, this boy is the eldest princess's apple of her eye, and there can't be any accidents.

Being so serious made Situ Yuan feel a little guilty.

He wanted to get closer to Xie Ying's family and didn't want them to think he was superior. If he wanted to see Xie Ying, he would have someone bring her over, and then he came in person.

I never thought Tu Jiaojiao would be so cautious.

Situ Yuan tried hard to force a smile, trying to make himself seem more approachable. He said crisply, "Aunt Tu, don't be nervous. I just came to see Yingying. You can treat me as a neighbor and treat me casually. There's no need to be so formal."

Tu Jiaojiao smiled widely: "I'm not nervous. I'll take you to see Yingying right away."

But in my heart, I secretly sneered: You are the eldest princess's precious child, how can I not be serious? What if you accidentally bump into something, or someone suddenly wants your life, won't the eldest princess fight me to the death?

She led Situ Yuan to a room where only Xie Ying and two maids were. Xie Rou and Xie Di were not there.

Xie Rou was ten years old, after all, and Situ Yuan was here to play with Xie Ying. Having Xie Rou by her side inevitably made people think too much.

Tu Jiaojiao didn't want the princess to misunderstand anything.

As soon as Situ Yuan entered the room, he saw Xie Ying lazily shaking her feet, and the little maid next to her was singing a little song for her.

He couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, feeling speechless. Even now that she's become a little kid, she hasn't forgotten to enjoy herself. In the apocalypse, she'd let a singer sing for her, but here, she'd let a little maid sing. When she's older, will she even need to support a troupe?

When the little maid saw Situ Yuan coming in, she closed her mouth nervously and looked at Tu Jiaojiao eagerly, not knowing what to do.

Xie Ying glanced at Situ Yuan calmly, feeling a little unhappy about being interrupted while listening to her music, but thinking that Situ Yuan must have something important to ask her, she endured it.

At this time, Tu Jiaojiao said to the two maids, "You can go down."

She didn't want Situ Yuan to get into trouble here, so she simply sent all her servants out.

I asked them to stay here before to protect Xie Ying.

Now that she is here, she naturally doesn't need them to watch her.

The two maids knelt down and bowed, then obediently retreated to the next room to wait.

It's cold now, and the two little maids are only twelve years old. Tu Jiaojiao is afraid that they will catch a cold from the cold wind, so she usually lets them stay in the house.

After sending them away, she noticed that all the people brought by Situ Yuan were guarding outside, so she found an excuse to go into the inner room, leaving the outer room for Xie Ying and Situ Yuan to play.

Anyway, the inside and outside are connected, so if there is any disturbance outside, she can come out immediately.

Seeing her so considerate, Situ Yuan couldn't help but whisper to Xie Ying: "Yingying, your mother is so kind."

Xie Ying glanced at him with disdain: [Nonsense, she's my mother, how could she not be nice?]

Situ Yuan: “…”

He quietly took out the paper he had written in advance and unfolded it in front of Xie Ying.

Xie Ying looked at the words above and was a little surprised. This kid actually heard that her family had bought the Chen family's forest, so he asked someone to buy the nearby land!

What a cunning guy!

Now he even came to tell her!

What? Are you trying to show off to her?

Seeing that she looked a little grumpy, Situ Yuan quickly turned the paper to the second page.

It said: Tell me what's underground? Let's work together and split the profits 50-50.

Xie Ying thought about it and realized that Situ Yuan’s brain could create all kinds of tools, so cooperating with him would definitely be profitable.

So he nodded and wrote: MEI on the palm of his hand.

He pointed at the dark words on the paper again.

Situ Yuan's eyes lit up, and he leaned close to Xie Ying's ear and whispered, "Coal?"

Xie Ying snorted lightly and gave him a teachable look.

After thinking for a while, he wrote on his palm: WAK工J.
