As dusk falls, the usually peaceful Fu'an Village suddenly boils!

Regarding the assassination incident on the main road, it only took half a cup of tea to spread throughout the villages ten miles away!

Xu Jiang hurried to the door of Xia's house with a group of people and asked with concern: "What's going on? Are you injured?"

Xia Qianqian shook her head and said with relief: "It doesn't matter, they are just some bandits on the run! They have all been captured by the officers and soldiers of the General's Mansion!"

Xu Jiang was very vigilant and called out to the villagers: "Bandits have been escaping recently, endangering the safety of the villagers. We must take responsibility!

"From now on, two people will stay at the entrance of the village to stand guard every day!"

Xujiang arranged for a group of villagers to quickly defend themselves

In the Xia family, Li Yunniang grabbed Xia Qianqian's hand and asked worriedly: "Qianqian, are those men in black coming for us?"

"How could it be!"

Xia Qianqian denied it!

Li Yunniang is petty and cares about nothing. If she knew that she was the target of assassination, she would probably not be able to sleep from now on!

Xia Qianqian pretended to be calm and replied: "We are riding in the dean's carriage today. It is very likely that they are going towards the dean!"

She tilted her head and speculated seriously: "Maybe they committed the crime randomly, and whoever encounters them will be unlucky!"

Li Yunniang didn't know why, "The bandits always have some motive for robbing, but these people are here to kill us. What's the point of wanting our lives!"

Xia Qianqian pursed her lips, pondered for a while, and then answered: "Maybe Mr. Jiang was arrested and I heard that he was colluding with the bandits! Maybe the bandits wanted to make some noise and distract the government's attention!"

Xia Qianqian's unfounded speculations are just to dispel Li Yunniang's doubts!

At night, the three of them locked the doors and windows and slept in bed uneasily!

Yuan Bao poked his head out from under the quilt and whispered: "Sister, why don't we make some more traps at the base of the wall!"

Xia Qianqian comforted her: "Don't worry, as long as Mr. Mo is here, nothing will happen!"

At Zhuxian Academy, Qingfeng knelt on the ground and reported the assassinations on the avenue today one by one!

Xi Yalan sat at the table, her hands on the table tightly clasped together: "Who dares to touch my people!"

As soon as she took a breath, she lost her usual kind-hearted look, and her expression suddenly became solemn and stern: "I will never let go if we find out who is behind the scenes!"

"Yes" Qingfeng accepted the order and ran away!

Aunt Rong came up from behind and reminded in a low voice: "Madam, Girl Xia is indeed good, but the hard work you have put into her is really overdue. The Marquis wrote a letter the day before yesterday, urging you to return to Beijing as soon as possible. We can no longer delay!"

Xi Yalan sat at the table with a calm expression: "My daughter is so close but I can't recognize her. I will never leave her behind this time!"

Grandma Rong has a bit of embarrassment on her face!

Madam has been very stubborn recently and insists on recognizing Xia Qianqian as her child who has been dead for many years!

Just a butterfly-shaped birthmark between the wrists!

But how did he know that there are countless similarities among all things in this world!

She kept trying to persuade her, but she still couldn't get her to look back!

This time, it was obviously the day to return to Beijing, but I still haven’t returned!

The Marquis sent several letters to urge her, but she remained indifferent!

No matter how much a man loves a woman, he cannot tolerate her cold treatment for more than ten years!

Grandma Rong is very worried.

When the wife reaches this age, regardless of her husband's mood, she will be obsessed with searching for the dead child, which will damage the relationship between the couple!

It's a pity that despite her repeated persuasion, Madam insisted on doing so!

In desperation, Grandma Rong could only sigh at the flowers and plants in a deserted place!

The next day, when Xia Qianqian opened the door, standing outside the door was the dusty Geng Zhong!

His hair was disheveled, there was mud on his face, and the hem of his clothes was wet. He looked a little embarrassed!

Xia Qianqian was shocked: "What are you..."

Geng Zhong reported seriously: "I stayed in front of Yanhu Beach all day and night yesterday, paying attention to the ebb and flow of the tide. After monitoring for a day and night, and asking the old man who has been fishing here for a long time, I finally determined the time of the ebb and flow of the tide.

Make sure!"

With that said, Geng Zhong took out a crumpled piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over: "Miss Xia, take a look!"

Xia Qianqian reached out to take it, spread it out and looked excitedly: "After the low tide, the foreshore is exposed for a total of three hours a day, which is enough for us to dig out bird droppings!"

With a smile on her face, she said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Geng Zhong scratched his hair naively, "This is what I should do!"

Geng Zhong can’t tell when the golden-armored guards will do these jobs!

All he knows is that working for Miss Xia is equivalent to working for His Highness!

While the two were talking, Li Yunniang came to the yard, looked up and saw Geng Zhong, and hurriedly extended her hand to greet him: "Come in and wash up. I made millet porridge, fried eggs, steamed steamed buns, and heated up braised pork.

I’ll give you steamed buns with meat and eggs later, and a bowl of millet porridge!”

"Once your stomach feels comfortable, your whole body will feel warm!"

Geng Zhong never left the house. When he came in, he picked up a basin and went to the well to fetch water. Not only did he wash himself, but he also filled the water tank under the eaves with water.

When she reached the table, Li Yunniang packed some food and put it in a food box, and said, "These meals will be given to Mr. Mo later!"

Geng Zhong took a bite of a meat bun and said vaguely, "I'll take it back later!"

Li Yunniang glanced at him, turned around and gave the food box to Xia Qianqian, "You go now, the food will be cold in a while!"

The Xia family and the Mo family are separated by a wall, and the delivery of food boxes is only a door-to-door distance away. How could the food get cold in such a short time!

After yesterday’s assassination incident, Li Yunniang’s attitude towards Cuttlefish has completely changed 180 degrees!

In the past, he was wary of cuttlefish!

She has become so passionate now that anyone with a discerning eye will know what she is thinking!

Xia Qianqian didn't know whether to laugh or cry for a moment. She took the food box and turned around and entered the Mo house!

She put the box on the table, opened the lid, and took out a plate of steamed buns, a plate of fried eggs, a small bowl of braised pork, and two bowls of millet porridge!

Looking at the young man standing in front of the window, she shouted: "Come and eat, this is my mother's thank you gift for saving your life yesterday!"

Ji Zimo walked to the table, looked at the simple meals on the table, and couldn't help but joke: "You should repay your life-saving grace with your life. You don't want to offset it with this table of food, do you?"

Xia Qianqian didn't expect that he, who had always been extremely serious, would also learn to joke!

What does he mean by this? Does he want her to repay him in kind?

An evil thought suddenly arose in her heart. Xia Qianqian nodded and lowered her eyebrows. Her fingers entwined a strand of hair hanging on the side of her face, with a shy look on her face: "If the young master is willing, I will definitely repay him with my body!"

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and gave him a wink!

Ji Zimo was shocked again!

On weekdays, she can be regarded as an upright person. When faced with the pursuit of an outstanding young master like Hu Tang, she can always respond indifferently!

If it were an ordinary woman, she would have fallen into it without even knowing it under his eager pursuit!

But she is different!

She can always stand from the perspective of an outsider, accurately analyze the pros and cons, see her heart clearly, and then reject him indifferently!
