Jiang Ci said coldly: "I am just an ordinary local citizen. The reason why I recognized your identity is that I had the honor to see the totem of the Cui clan. I saw the same pattern on your back."

Cui Xuanzi stared at Jiang Ci silently, trying to tell whether he was lying from his expressionless face.

However, this kid is too morally minded and doesn't show any emotion at all.

"Even if you guessed that I am from the Cui family, how are you sure that I will be the head of the Cui family?"

Jiang Ci walked to the stool next to the bed and sat down.

"I have my own judgment. She saved you. Even if I knew you were a big trouble, I wouldn't kick you out now. The people who are chasing you won't find you here until you recover from your injuries."

Yan Shu walked in with a bowl of porridge. Jiang Ci and Cui Xuanzi looked at her at the same time, and they consciously stopped talking.

"You shouldn't get up. I'll feed you."

Yan Shu gently stirred it a few times with a spoon, and was about to feed Cui Xuanzi the porridge himself when Jiang Ci came over.

"Let me do it."

Cui Xuanzi glared at Jiang Ci: "What? Are you reluctant to let your wife serve an old man like me?"

Yan Shu's mouth twitched slightly and he smiled awkwardly.

"You always misunderstood. He is my brother-in-law. My husband-in-law is no longer alive."

Cui Xuanzi was stunned for a moment, brother-in-law and widowed sister-in-law?

His eyes fell on Jiang Ci in a gossipy manner. This boy was so good that he actually had thoughts about his sister-in-law.

The next second, Jiang Ci's cold eyes shot towards him, and Cui Xuanzi twitched the corners of his lips.

how?Feeling guilty?

Jiang Ci took the bowl and urged Yan Shu: "Sister-in-law, go eat. I will take care of the old man."

Yan Shu felt that Jiang Ci was a man and would be more suitable to serve Mr. Cui.

He nodded, stood up and left the room.

After Cui Xuanzi watched Yan Shu leave, he looked at Jiang Ci with a smile.

"like her?"

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows: "What? Elder Cui is already too free to pry into other people's affairs for fun?"

"That's not true, it's just that the little girl is my savior, so I should care about her. You don't seem to be an honest and responsible master, and you are not suitable for her."

Jiang Ci frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed across his face.

"I will take care of your food and daily life these days. Please bear with me if I don't take good care of you."

He said it politely, but when he looked at those gloomy eyes, the threat was obvious.

Cui Xuanzi snorted in his heart, actually threatening an old man who was too weak to take care of himself?He is indeed a guy with an animal face and a heart.

Jiang Ci served Cui Xuanzi and drank a bowl of porridge, then stood up and left the room.

When he came to the main room, Yan Shu was in a daze with his chin propped up with one hand. When he saw Jiang Ci coming, his eyebrows curled up.

"Did Mr. Cui finish the porridge?"

Jiang Ci responded, walked to the opposite side and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you eat?"

"Waiting for you to eat together, come and try the chive box I made to see how it tastes."

When he heard that Yan Shu was waiting for him to eat together, the corners of Jiang Ci's mouth slightly raised.

He picked up a leek box with chopsticks, took a bite, and praised sincerely: "It's delicious."

Yan Shu smiled with satisfaction: "If it tastes good, eat more."

She also picked up a box of leeks and ate it.

Jiang Ci was very considerate. He ate three leek boxes and a bowl of porridge, and even took the initiative to clear away the bowls and chopsticks after the meal.

Yan Shu selected a few herbs from the herbs drying in the yard, and secretly took out a few rare herbs from the space to cook in the kitchen.

Mr. Cui is old and has been fatally injured. If he does not take good care of his body, he will suffer from serious diseases even after he recovers.

The recipe she prepared is to solve the problem from the root.

After boiling the medicine, she personally carried it into the room.

Cui Xuanzi was resting and woke up quickly when he heard footsteps.

"Yan Yatou, you are here."

"This is the medicine I prepared to nourish your body. You can drink it before going to sleep."

"it is good."

Cui Xuanzi drank a bowl of bitter medicine obediently.

"Yan girl, my surname is Cui. If you don't mind, you can call me Grandpa Cui."

Yan Shu shouted loudly, of course he couldn't miss the opportunity to hug his thigh easily.

Cui Xuanzi smiled happily.

"If you hadn't saved my life, my life would have been at stake this time."

Yan Shu put away the medicine bowl and looked at him doubtfully.

"Grandpa Cui, the other party is ruthless and wants your life. Are you being hunted by your enemies?"

Cui Xuanzi sighed: "There are traitors in the family, and I was just confused and believed them."

After finishing speaking, Cui Xuanzi looked at Yan Shu: "I want Mr. Jiang to help write a letter and send it to Baofeng Bank in Nanwei Mansion. Someone will come to pick me up and leave."

We can't cause trouble to these two children because of his relationship, so he should leave as soon as possible after two days of recuperation.

Yan Shu nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll call my uncle over right now."

Jiang Ci was sitting in the main room reading a book when Yan Shu walked straight in.

"Uncle, Mr. Cui wants you to take a pen and write a letter and send it to Baofeng Bank in Nanwei Mansion. He said that someone will come to take him back."

Jiang Ci looked away from the book, thinking deeply.

It would be better if he left earlier, because the person he offended was quite well-established. Although Wei Zhao's people were secretly solving the problem, in the long run, killers would keep coming, which would also disturb their future lives.

Cui Xuanzi would naturally remember this kindness, and it would be better to send him away as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Jiang Ci got up and went back to the room, when Aunt Cao's voice came from outside the door.

"Is Erlang at home?"

Yan Shu hurried to the door and saw a handsome young man standing next to Aunt Cao, with a smile on his face.

"Jiang's family, this little brother asked about Erlang's residence, so I brought him here."

"Thank you Aunt Cao. This is my uncle's friend. I'll just take him in. Aunt Cao, wait a moment."

After saying this, Yan Shu invited Qi Tianyi in and asked him to sit down in the main room first.

She went to the kitchen, picked up two packages of moon cakes, and walked to the door.

"Aunt Cao, this is a mooncake I made myself. Today is the Moon Festival. You can take it back and taste it with your family."

Aunt Cao shook her head and said: "Mooncakes are so expensive, you can keep them for yourselves."

"I still have it at home, and it didn't cost much to make it myself. You have been helping my family over the years, and my uncle and I are very grateful to you."

Aunt Cao had a simple smile on her face: "What are these? They are all from the village. Erlang's father and mother left early, and the eldest man..., hey, we won't talk about this on the festival day."

Yan Shu smiled: "You can accept it."

"Then I'll accept it. Thank you Jiang everyone."

Aunt Cao thanked her and returned home happily carrying two packages of moon cakes.

Yan Shu closed the courtyard door.

Jiang Ci finished writing the letter and walked out of the house when he heard the conversation outside.

Yan Shu said: "Uncle, Brother Qi is here. I met him in the town yesterday. Thinking that you happened to be at home during the Moon Festival today, I invited him to my house as a guest."

Jiang Ci really didn't want to see Qi Tianyi, so he didn't express his feelings in front of Yan Shu.

"Okay, let's celebrate the festival together and make it more lively. If my sister-in-law needs to buy any ingredients, I can drive the donkey cart to the town to buy them later."

Seeing that Jiang Ci was not unhappy, Yan Shu smiled reassuringly and said, "No need, I already bought it in the county yesterday."

Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows, remembering that the basket in the donkey cart was empty last night.

But then she thought of that fairyland place and guessed that she should get the ingredients from there, so she didn't ask any more questions.

"I'll help you while you cook for lunch."

Jiang Ci offered to help, and Yan Shu was naturally not polite.

The two entered the main room together. Qi Tianyi looked at Yan Shu shyly: "Did I come too early?"

Thinking of being able to visit her home today, I was so happy that I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I simply got up and walked over this morning.

It takes an hour and a half to walk from Beihai Village.

"How could it be? We are all very happy that you are here. Brother Qi, don't feel restrained. You are just like at home here. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

Qi Tianyi nodded repeatedly: "I've eaten."

But the next second, there was an untimely buzzing sound in his stomach.

He lowered his head in embarrassment.

Yan Shu pursed his lips and smiled: "I still have a lot of breakfast I made this morning. You sit down first and I will heat it up and bring it to you."

"Don't bother."

"No trouble, just wait."

Yan Shu turned around and left the main room.

Qi Tianyi and Jiang Ci were left staring at each other.
