Yes, how could Xi Jin not know Xie Luo's selfishness, but his selfishness is so upright!
Xi Jin knew that he wanted her to get out of the shadow of Shangguan Ba's death as soon as possible and be with him without any distractions.
But even though she knew where Shangguan Ba was buried, she still didn't understand in whose hands he died? If she couldn't figure this out, how could she feel at ease?
Xi Jin shook his head and came out of his low mood.
No matter what, being able to see Shangguan Bao's burial place tomorrow would finally put an end to her worries. At least he was not thrown into a mass grave like other prisoners.
"Jin'er, what are you going to eat tonight? I'm a little hungry." Xie Luo noticed Xi Jin's depression and interrupted her thoughts.
Xi Jin smiled softly: "I made chicken soup at noon and used the chicken soup to cook pimple soup at night, okay?"
"Okay, I'll light the fire."
Xie Luo sat on a small stool next to the stove fire and chatted with Xi Jin: "Speaking of these noodles, Jin'er, have you ever tried the White Jade Noodle Soup from Jingzhong Fu Jing Ji?"
"No." Although Xi Jin was from the capital, she had been locked up in her own yard for the past few years after her aunt passed away.
Except for visiting her aunt in the palace, or attending some banquets held by the noble ladies in the capital, she had never been anywhere. She didn't even know that there was a Fu Jing Ji in the capital!
"It doesn't matter if you haven't eaten before. When we return to Beijing, I will take you to eat."
Xie Luo promised, the firelight reflected his handsome face, and his eyes shone with gentle light.
"Okay." Xi Jin poured the mixed noodles in the basin into the chicken soup, then skillfully added vegetables and mushrooms, and added a little salt.
A pot of delicious gnocchi will be ready in no time!
Xie Luo turned off the fire, looked at the gnocchi rolling in the pot, smelled the fragrance, and couldn't help but swallowed: "Jin'er's skills are really getting better and better."
"Go and wash your hands and get ready to eat." Xi Jin wiped his hands on his apron and took out two blue and white porcelain bowls.
"Be careful, it's hot. I'll serve it." Xie Luo washed his hands and hurried over to serve the bowl.
Xi Jin looked closely at Xie Luo's hand and discovered that there were many red bags on his hand: "What's wrong with your hand?"
"It's nothing. Vice General Liang took us to practice in the forest today. We were bitten by mosquitoes."
"The weather is getting hotter and hotter. I'll ask Ji'er to pick some mugwort for me tomorrow and make a purse for you to hang on so mosquitoes won't bite you."
"That's the best." Xie Luo stared at Xi Jin contentedly and sighed, "Jin'er, it's great to have you by my side."
"You're good too!" Xi Jin responded with a smile, already making a decision in his heart!
…
Early the next morning, Xi Jin got up early and cleaned himself up.
Now she has learned how to steam steamed buns. A bowl of porridge, a few steamed buns, and some pickles will make a delicious breakfast.
Xie Luo went to the mountains to chop firewood early in the morning and had not returned yet. Xi Jin made breakfast and took General Gu's clothes to Lan'er's house.
She was going to pay homage to Shangguan Ba today, so she could only leave the clothes-making work to Lan'er first. If she could make it in time, she would come back in the afternoon and do some more.
After all, he had received such a large deposit, and Miss Ding also said that General Gu was not very willing to change to other clothes, so he had to deliver the goods early no matter what.
Before Xi Jin arrived at Lan'er's house, he saw many people gathered around Lan'er's house. It seemed like something had happened?
Xi Jin quickly pushed through the crowd and walked forward, only to see a man about thirty years old standing in the yard of Lan'er's house, cursing.
This man has a sinister appearance and a very plump figure, making it difficult for anyone to like him at first glance.
"You bitch, you are lucky that I like you, don't be shameless." The man's clothes were messy and there was a scratch on his face.
He waved his hand and directed the two men next to him: "Go and drag that bitch out for me. I'm going to kill her in front of so many people."
"No, no, please, please let my daughter go." Lan'er's mother hugged the man's leg on her knees, "Master Wang, Master Wang, please, please let Lan'er go."
"Get out!" The man kicked Lan'er's mother away.
Lan'er Niang fell to the side, coughing wildly.
When Lan'er saw her in the house, she rushed out, hugged her mother, and cried, "Mom, are you okay?"
"You stinky bitch, you've finally come out." The man called Mr. Wang said with a lewd smile, "Come here, strip her for me."
After hearing this, the two men immediately stepped forward and pulled Lan'er, and began to tear Lan'er's clothes without politeness.
"What are you doing?" Xi Jin quickly stepped forward to stop the two men.
When Mr. Wang saw Xi Jin, the smile on his face became even more exaggerated: "Hey, whose little lady is this? She is so beautiful. Could it be that she has taken a fancy to my power and wants to serve me, right?"
Xi Jin looked at Mr. Wang's shameless face and felt extremely disgusted: "Who are you? Do you still have the king's method?"
"The King's Law?" Mr. Wang burst out laughing, "You, a prisoner, want to talk to me about the King's Law?"
"I might as well tell you that Mr. Feng in the army is my brother-in-law. Why don't you just obey me along with this little lady? Maybe I can exonerate you!"
Lord Wang winked at his men, and two of his men immediately stepped forward to catch Xi Jin.
Before Xi Jin could react, he saw a black figure rushing over and kicked away the two people who came to catch Xi Jin.
"Big beard." When Lan'er saw the big beard, she seemed to have seen a savior, and her eyes lit up.
"Are you a bearded man?" Xi Jin looked at the man in front of him with a clean face and three-dimensional facial features. He couldn't associate it with the bearded man in his impression.
"Hey, Madam-in-law, didn't I just shave? Why don't you recognize me?" As soon as the bearded man spoke, Xi Jin believed that it was the bearded man, and the honest voice was still so familiar.
"Sister-in-law, you are much prettier too, your skin is much whiter." The bearded man looked at Xi Jin and said naively, "As expected, I still thank my brother for taking care of my wife."
"Who are you? You dare to ruin my good deeds." Mr. Wang saw that the two of them were still chatting leisurely, and he suddenly felt humiliated.
Master Wang pulled out the sword from his waist and was about to stab the bearded man.
When Lan'er saw this, she quickly shouted: "Be careful, bearded man."
The bearded man turned sideways to avoid Master Wang's thrusting sword: "Master Wang, are you trying to kill someone?"
"It doesn't matter if you kill someone, you are just despicable criminals. Killing you is like crushing an ant." Lord Wang raised his sword and said arrogantly.
Most of the people surrounding Lan'er's yard were prisoners, and the crowd was furious for a while.
Mr. Wang doesn't care about this: "I will operate on you today and let you prisoners know your identity."
As Master Wang spoke, he raised his sword and stabbed the bearded man...
