After all, he could give reminders about the Wang family's affairs, but he felt that he still lacked the skills to get deeply involved.

He had only walked halfway along the corridor when a figure flashed out and stopped him lightly.

It was Xiaodie. The girl was wearing a light green jacket, looking like a beautiful girl from a small family. She walked a few steps closer, knelt down and bowed, "Sir."

"Why, you don't have to keep your distance from me?"

He just asked casually, but Xiaodie said seriously: "Before, Xiaodie was supposed to be given to the young master of the Fang family as a dowry, so she had to keep her distance from men.

Xiaodie has always been like that to everyone. I don't mean to hate you, I hope you don't misunderstand me."

"Should have? You mean you won't send it now?" Seeing that the girl was very serious, Fang Xiwen couldn't help but want to tease her, so he said with a smile.

"......" Xiaodie pursed her lips and said nothing.

"So you're coming over here now, do you want to get closer to me?"

"No, sir, please respect yourself," Xiaodie bowed her head again, "Xiaodie is willing to serve you with all the other chores, you can leave them all to me, and please punish me if I don't do it well."

This looks like a business-like manner.

After thinking for a while, Fang Xiwen asked again: "If the Master of Fang Mansion was not me, would you be willing to serve him?"

"Of course not—ahem!"

Xiaodie blurted out subconsciously, and quickly covered her mouth, staring at him angrily: "I want to talk to you properly, but you just have this attitude. I don't want to talk to you anymore."

"Haha. Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore." This little look made Fang Xiwen laugh, and he immediately said with a smile: "Stretch out your hand, I'll give you something."

Hearing this, Xiaodie obediently stretched out her hand; with her palm facing up, she looked at the rough calluses and fine scratches on it, and her face felt a little hot again.

'The lady's hands must be much more beautiful than mine,' she thought inexplicably.

"Here."

As something fell, a cool touch came over.

On her open palm was a silver hairpin with a butterfly carved on it that seemed to be dancing, and its wings were decorated with pearls and jade.

Not only is it extremely valuable, it is also very thoughtful... No one has ever given Xiaodie such a gift since she was a child. Looking at the hairpin, her nose felt sore.

Then, Xiaodie looked up, her beautiful eyes hazy: "Where's the lady's share?"

"...You're asking this right away?"

"Yes, you must have bought it for me by chance," seeing his expression, Xiaodie suddenly became happy, holding the hairpin in front of her chest with both hands, bowed her head and said, "Thank you, sir, I like it very much."

Seeing her like this, Fang Xiwen felt a little distressed; this girl was too sensible, and even at a time like this she still considered the "property", making people wonder what to say.

"Please wait a moment, sir. I'll bring the lunch over. I've been waiting for this chicken for the whole morning, it must be delicious..." She took out her apron and put it on, and was about to run to the kitchen, but was stopped by Fang Xiwen:

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait for Ningzhu to come back and eat together."

~~

The two chatted on the steps and waited for a while before a female detective in red clothes and shoes pushed open the gate. She was sweating and looked overworked.

"I'm so tired. Xiwen, hug me~~~"

Wang Ningzhu dragged out her voice like a spoiled child and opened her arms to hug him.

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen dodged to the side and said, "Hey, hey, hey, you're all sweaty, don't come over here. If you want to hug me, go take a shower first."

"You dislike me? How ridiculous! You actually dislike me?" She was angry.

The courtyard was not big, and as the two were chasing and fleeing, Fang Xiwen's physical skills were not outstanding, and he was soon forced into a corner.

The heroic female detective seemed to have finally caught the criminal. She raised her hands and smiled: "You can't escape, right? You finally fell into my hands, hehe..."

Seeing this, Fang Xiwen quickly asked for help from outside the venue: "Xiaodie, please take care of your young lady."

"This is my person, she won't listen to you-" "Miss, please pay attention to etiquette."

Hearing this, Wang Ningzhu almost didn't want to believe his ears.

She suddenly turned around and found Xiaodie looking stern. She said with a straight face, "You always have to take a bath before eating, right? The young master has been waiting here for so long with an empty stomach. Do you want him to wait for you to take your time to wash before you can eat?"

“This, this…”

"No matter how good-tempered you are, you will be unhappy."

So Wang Ningzhu turned his head back and saw Fang Xiwen nodded in agreement. He had no choice but to withdraw and let him go.

Xiaodie, who had taken favors from others, actually bit her master.

After a quick wash, the three of them set up a table in the courtyard and sat down.

There were five or six plates of food, all exquisitely presented. The authentic traditional kiln-cooked chicken was golden all over and exuded an enticing aroma.

There was no rule in the courtyard that one should not talk while eating. Wang Ningzhu had just taken a few bites of rice when he started talking: "Listen to me, there are people causing trouble in both the West and East Quarters today. I'm so busy."

"That's normal. It would be strange if there was no trouble." Fang Xiwen nodded.

"Miss, what is it?"

Seeing that both of them were interested, Wang Ningzhu started talking.

Several days had passed since Dingjun City began to collect people living outside the city; even though a lot of relief money had been distributed, their complaints could not be suppressed.

After all, on the one hand, there were too many people, the place was small, and the living conditions were not very good; on the other hand, many people were dragged and captured and forced into the city, and a lot of resentment accumulated from the beginning.

"Some people say that it was our Wang family who spread false news and wanted to secretly take away their land, causing such a big fuss. Really, they didn't think about it, if they really wanted to do such a thing, why would they need to go through so much trouble..."

Wang Ningzhu said angrily after taking a vicious bite of the chicken leg.

"After all, the matter of the demon race is of great importance, and it is impossible to speak directly. It is normal for people to be uneasy." This was not beyond Fang Xiwen's expectations. "Yes, how did you solve it in the end?"

"I couldn't think of a solution at the time, but luckily Uncle Luo came to help."

"Uncle Luo?"

"He is a very powerful escort. He recently broke through the barrier of life and death and is becoming very famous. Many escort teams are also stuck in the city and can't leave, just like them.

This move is nothing more than blocking their way out, but Uncle Luo said that the Wang family would not do something without a purpose. Even someone like him who makes a living by escorting is not in a hurry, so why should others be in a hurry? It’s a pity that I was afraid that you would wait too long, so I didn’t have a chance to say a few more words to him. "

Wang Ningzhu dropped the bone and said so.

"Wow, this old Deng...the old escort is here too." Fang Xiwen was a little surprised.

This kind of meeting an old friend in a foreign land... Actually, it's not really a foreign land. The Luo family lives in this area of ​​Guihua Mountain, so it's normal to meet Old Luo. Xiao Qingni also mentioned it before, but he forgot about it because he was busy.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot you knew each other." Wang Ningzhu slapped his head.

"I came to Guihua Mountain for something, and I went with them. By the way, does Lao Luo have a good relationship with your Wang family?"

"It's our Wang family." Wang Ningzhu glared at him. "Of course it's great. Uncle Luo is famous in Dingjun."

According to her, Luo Ting was somewhat similar to Fang Xiwen today when he was young. Both were wandering knights with outstanding swordsmanship and handsome looks.

Not only that, his people were also very good, strong and loyal, and they were very popular in both the black and white worlds. He was a shining star in the underworld of that generation, and was praised by people at that time as the "Green Lotus Wine Immortal."

"However, Uncle Luo is very loyal. Ever since he met my aunt while wandering, the family has settled down. For more than 20 years, the couple has been very loving and has two daughters. They have never had any romantic affairs such as taking concubines..."

Wang Ningzhu spoke in a leisurely tone, but his eyes would glance over here from time to time, with a strong warning tone.

He thought to himself, no wonder he said so much, it turned out that he was here to make trouble... Fang Xiwen smiled awkwardly, "Very good, a perfect couple."

"Humph, I hope you really think it's good," Wang Ningzhu said, sarcastically, "Uncle Luo's eldest daughter is about the same age as us. It is said that she is very beautiful, but unfortunately she seldom comes home. I have never seen her until now."

"...It's very beautiful."

Hearing his strange tone, Wang Ningzhu knocked lightly on his desk and said, "Hey, don't try to take advantage of me."

"Haha." Fang Xiwen didn't know what to say and could only laugh dryly.

Seeing that he seemed to have heard it, Wang Ningzhu was about to nod when Xiaodie realized something was wrong.

She put down her chopsticks, clapped her hands and said, "Sir, look into my eyes."

"doing what?"

"I saw you were dodging just now, and you seemed a little guilty."

"Where."

"Then look into my eyes and say it again." The more Xiaodie said this, the more she was reluctant to let him go, and she immediately looked at him with sharp eyes.

"...Your eyes are too small, I can't see." Fang Xiwen almost whistled.

"Miss, he's lying!"

The meal had not even finished when the table was already noisy.

The master and servant looked at each other and immediately knew what was going on. Wang Ningzhu put down the bowl, sat directly on his lap in a long skirt, and grabbed his collar: "Tell me the truth, do you really have feelings for her daughter?"

"Wait, look up at the sky."

Fang Xiwen hugged the soft and fragrant girl in his arms, then pointed upwards.

But suddenly, the originally bright sky was covered by thick dark clouds, which seemed bottomless.

It was as if a huge cover had fallen down, and the clouds became much lower, making it so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"What's going on?" Wang Ningzhu narrowed her eyes, as if she sensed something.

The two hugged each other for a while, and Fang Xiwen suddenly said, "You're a little heavy."

But the truth is that it feels very good, warm, soft and elastic.

"You dislike me again?!"

"Miss, the young master is trying to change the subject!"

"Xiaodie, you betrayed me!"

~~

at the same time.

Whether the people were living in the East Quarter or the West Quarter, they all looked up at the sky.

The dark clouds were so thick that they were exaggerated, giving off an ominous feeling.

Seeing this, a busybody immediately jumped up and pointed to the sky: "What are you talking about? There will be a drought. Does this look like a drought? The Wang family must be plotting something. Let us out now!"

As soon as these words were spoken, those who wanted to leave the city began to agree. For a while, the commotion was so loud that even the constables from the six surrounding gates were unable to suppress it, and they could only remain in a stalemate.

As the noise went on, everyone seemed to realize something and, despite the repeated provocations from the busybodies, slowly quieted down.
