Ji Xiaotang led Xie Huaijin to treat Old Mrs. Ji, and Old Mrs. Ji left two people to have snacks.⊥,

"I haven't come for a while, I've grown taller." Old Mrs. Ji looked at Xie Huaijin kindly. Old Mrs. Ji still liked this young man who looked liked.

"Where is your mother?" Old Mrs. Ji asked Ji Xiaotang again.

"My mother talked with the uncle of the Xie family and asked me to bring Brother Huaijin over." Ji Xiaotang said, picking up a piece of rose cake for Xie Huaijin. She remembered that Xie Huaijin loved this the most.

Xie Huaijin took the rose cake with a smile and started eating it sweetly.

Old Mrs. Ji looked at Ji Xiaotang and Xie Huaijin, and a trace of understanding flashed in her eyes.

After talking in Old Mrs. Ji's room, Ji Xiaotang saw that Old Mrs. Ji showed tiredness on her face, so she took Xie Huaijin to say goodbye.

As spring is getting flowers blooming, old lady Ji is always sleepy during the day.

The two left Mrs. Ji's yard and did not go to find Mrs. Ji Er and Mrs. Xie. Ji Xiaotang took Xie Huaijin to Xiaoqianyuan and followed Mr. Ji San to watch the servants practice martial arts.

Xie Huaijin looked at it with great enthusiasm for a while, then lost interest and just whispered to Ji Xiaotang.

"I heard from my father to my mother before that my uncle has achieved his wish this time and found what he likes to do." When it comes to Master Ji San's martial arts, he inevitably mentioned the injury of Master Ji San's injury. "Xiaotang, you must have been frightened at that time. Thanks to the fact that you fell into the trap."

When the last sentence was said, Xie Huaijin felt a little distorted and quickly glanced at Master Ji San. He lowered his voice and spoke. Master Ji San probably couldn't hear it clearly, but he was always a little guilty.

Master Ji San didn't know if he really didn't hear it or pretended it wasn't. He just stared at the martial arts training ground without any reaction.

Xie Huaijin made a face at Ji Xiaotang.

"...I'm going to see you for a long time. But there's so much work at home, my father won't let me go out. ∮,"

"Uncle Xie is busy with business and I am sick, so of course you are not easy to go out." Ji Xiaotang nodded in understanding.

"My father has been very busy recently." Xie Huaijin said.

"What is Uncle Xie busy with?" Ji Xiaotang asked casually.

Xie Huaijin did not answer immediately, but looked around.

Ji Xiaotang immediately noticed something strange.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xiaotang lowered his voice slightly and asked again.

"A guest came to the house, and my father vacated the main courtyard for the guest to stay, so he would not let my mother and I interfere." Xie Huaijin's voice was soft, "I wouldn't let anyone know."

Even so, Xie Huaijin still told Ji Xiaotang to listen. His father told him not to tell others, but not to tell others. Ji Xiaotang is not someone else.

"What a great person? Official or private matter?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"It should be a business." Xie Huaijin touched his head, not very sure. Compared to the Ji family, the Xie family's population is thinner and rarely interacts with relatives.

"You have seen these people, what do you think?" Ji Xiaotang asked.

"I haven't seen it officially. I saw several men from afar yesterday." Xie Huaijin said, "My mother and I guess it's the imperial envoy sent by the superiors to visit privately."

"It seems like this when you say this." Ji Xiaotang nodded and did not take it very seriously. The imperial court sent inspections to various places almost every year, and it was common to have open investigations and secret investigations.

If there is any obstacle to the Yu Ji family, County Magistrate Xie will inform Mr. Ji Er no matter what.

Ji Xiaotang has nothing to worry about.

However, since it was an undercover investigation, it was a bit strange that County Magistrate Xie could free up the main courtyard.

In the study, County Magistrate Xie was talking to Mr. Ji Er.∏∈,

"Brother Wenmin, where did you hear these words?" Xie Zhixian and Master Ji Er sat opposite each other across the desk. After hearing Master Ji Er's words, they were a little surprised.

"There is no specific source, I just occasionally hear people talk about it. Brother Ziqian, I am afraid that it is not true for others to ask you. Is he doing this illegal?"

"Oh..." Xie Magistrate did not answer immediately. He glanced at Master Ji Er and began to ponder.

"Brother Ziqian, it's okay." Master Ji Er said.

"As far as I know, he often walks in front of the yamen, makes some friends, and helps people fight and hold on. As for taking on lawsuits, there should be no such thing. I can't let it go." County Magistrate Xie pondered for a moment before he said slowly.

Master Ji Er seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"However, Brother Wenmin, you know about the matter in the yamen. Even though we sit in the hall, we may not know everything. If Brother Wenmin is not at ease, I will go back and check it carefully. If this is really the case, I am negligent, and I will tell Brother Wenmin to know."

"This matter is of great importance, and I have to be careful. I am afraid that Brother Ziqian will recognize him as a member of my Ji family and will not be able to wipe out his face, so I will indulge him."

"I have been with Brother Wenmin for many years and know the best about Brother Wenmin's temper. I will never do this." Xie Zhixian laughed loudly. "Jiang Qingshan is a person who can do things, and he will inevitably offend people. Some gossip comes out. Brother Wenmin is worried, which is also a normal human nature."

Master Ji Er smiled and did not defend himself to County Magistrate Xie.

The one who said Jiang Qingshan was not someone else, but his daughter Ji Xiaotang.

No matter who Jiang Qingshan offended, he would not offend Ji Xiaotang.

County Magistrate Xie said that Jiang Qingshan did not take charge of lawsuits, so there must be no one. As for Ji Xiaotang, it was probably the rumors that this child heard. As County Magistrate Xie said, it was Jiang Qingshan's opponent who was slandering Jiang Qingshan.

Master Ji Er's heart fell to the ground, and he no longer mentioned this matter.

When Ji Xiaotang was crossing the yard, a little girl came to report to her, saying that Master Ji Er ordered someone to hold a banquet in the flower hall behind, and wanted to enjoy the flowers and drink with Lord Xie, and asked Master Ji San and Xie Huaijin to go there.

Of course, Master Ji San couldn't drink alcohol, but he needed to meet Magistrate Xie.

The little girl also told Ji Xiaotang that there was also a table in the house of Mrs. Ji and asked her to go there quickly.

It was already early when Xie Zhixian and his family left Ji Mansion.

"What are you giggling foolishly?" Sitting in the carriage, Mrs. Xie looked at Xie Huaijin with one glance.

Since Xie Huaijin came out of Ji's mansion, the smile on her face has never disappeared. She still sat in the carriage. In Mrs. Xie's eyes, Xie Huaijin's smile now is really stupid.

"Hehe." Mrs. Xie asked twice before Xie Huaijin came to her senses.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but smile and raised her hand to touch her son's head.

"Mom, Xiaotang... Xiaotang treats me very well."

"Didn't you get along well all the time?" Mrs. Xie asked with a smile.

"Well. But Xiaotang treats me very well today." Xie Huaijin looked at Mrs. Xie with eager eyes.

"Why is she particularly nice to you? What did she say to you?" Mrs. Xie asked curiously immediately.

Xie Huaijin thought about it carefully. Ji Xiaotang didn't seem to say anything special to her, nor did he do anything special. But his feeling was different from before.

Ji Xiaotang treats him very...gently today.

Yes, even Ji Xiaotang looked at him with a very gentle look. Xiaotang still wanted to wipe his sweat, but although he didn't really do anything in the end, Xiaotang must be shy.

Actually, it’s not been seen for a long time, but he feels that Ji Xiaotang misses him very much.

"Xiaotang didn't..." Xie Huaijin said honestly, "But, Xiaotang, she is a very gentle and good girl. Mom..."

Xie Huaijin's words are incoherent and his words are not meaningful.

But Mrs. Xie understood it all.

"Mom knows, you stupid boy." Mrs. Xie looked at her son for a while, then smiled and hugged her son, "Mom also likes Xiaotang. When you are two years older, you will propose marriage to your uncle Ji and aunt Ji."

"Mom, you are so good." Xie Huaijin's face was flushed with excitement. Although he had already vaguely known in his heart, this was the first time Mrs. Xie had said it clearly.

"You stupid boy, you must be kind to Xiaotang in the future. But don't hit her, do you know?" Mrs. Xie told Xie Huaijin again.

"Mom, I don't know. I listen to Xiaotang in everything." Xie Huaijin said.

"You have to study hard. Your Uncle Ji is a Jinshi, and Xiaotang has studied a lot of books with your Uncle Ji. If your academic knowledge is not good, your Uncle Ji will not like you. Xiaotang will also look down on you."

"Mom, I will study hard and be with Xiaotang to make Uncle Ji like me."

“That’s right.”

"I have to talk to Madam Cheng when I go back later." After Mrs. Xie encouraged her son, she remembered what Ji Xiaotang had entrusted to her. "Madam Cheng's family should be no longer there. She will definitely like Xiaotang's child. Let Madam Cheng go over and take care of Xiaotang for two years, and come back with her. With her help, Xiaotang will be worry-free in the future, and I will feel at ease."

Mrs. Xie’s happier the more she thought about it.

The reason why she ignored the difficulties and took over this matter was for Ji Xiaotang. Ji Xiaotang would be her member of the Xie family after all.

After seeing off the three members of the Xie family, Ji Xiaotang immediately went to the study to find Master Ji Er.
