"Dong'er, are there only two of you at home?" Nangong Xi asked curiously.

"There are also eldest brother and second brother, but eldest brother is a guard in the city lord's mansion and second brother is studying in the school. They only come back at night." Dong'er said with a smile.

"What about your father?" Nangong Xi looked at Dong'er.

"My father was seduced by a bad woman, who drove us out. My mother supported the family alone. So, Sister Nangong, I have lost my father a long time ago." A trace of sadness flashed across Dong'er's eyes.

"Auntie Zhou is so amazing. She supports a family by herself." Nangong Xi exclaimed when she heard this.

"Sister Nangong also thinks my mother is awesome, right? After we were kicked out, my mother changed our surname to Zhou after hers." Dong'er's eyes lit up when she heard Nangong Xi praising her mother.

"It's really amazing." Nangong Xi nodded.

After all, most women of this era regard their husbands as their gods, and few have the courage that Aunt Zhou has.

"Dong'er, do we buy things with gold coins here?" Nangong Xi didn't know how long she would stay in this place of exile, so she had to confirm the currency here first.

"No." Dong'er shook her head.

"What is that used for?" Nangong Xi was stunned when she heard that. She thought to herself, it seems like I have to make some money first.

"It uses copper coins and silver coins." Dong'er replied.

Nangong Xi: ...

This child's family is probably too poor and he doesn't know that there are gold coins besides copper coins and silver coins.

Since the currency in circulation is the same, I can rest assured.

"Dong'er, in addition to copper coins and silver coins, there are also more valuable gold coins." Nangong Xi said to Dong'er with a smile.

"Are there any gold coins left? I only know about gold hairpins. My father bought a gold hairpin for that bad woman before. Although my mother didn't say anything, I know she was very sad." Dong'er said.

Nangong Xi fell silent after hearing this.

It seems that Auntie Zhou met a terrible scumbag this year.

Nangong Xi couldn't help but imagine in her mind a tragic drama in which the original wife built a family business with the scumbag and then was ruthlessly abandoned.

"So at that time I was thinking that when I grow up, I must work hard to make money and buy my mother a gold cross, and it must be a very beautiful one." Dong'er smiled after she finished speaking, revealing two cute dimples.

Nangong Xi also smiled slightly when he heard this.

There are a lot of precious jewellery in his space, and the gold hairpin is just the most inconspicuous one.

But she knew that she couldn't give it away. After all, she understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.

"Dong'er is such a filial and good child." Nangong Xi touched Dong'er's little head and praised.

"Big brother said the same thing." Dong'er smiled happily.

"What are you talking about so happily? Come and have dinner." Aunt Zhou prepared the meal and called them over.

"It smells so good." Nangong Xi praised the simple yet heartwarming dishes on the table.

"Xi'er, these are just simple meals. I hope you don't mind." Aunt Zhou handed the chopsticks to Nangong Xi.

"Auntie Zhou, do you have any misunderstanding about your cooking skills? This dish looks delicious and fragrant." After saying this, Nangong Xi picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Aunt Zhou smiled when she saw this. She didn't expect that Nangong Xi, a child from a wealthy family, would be so easy-going.

boom!

When Nangong Xi was eating happily, the door of the yard was kicked open by someone.

A group of people who looked like servants rushed in.

"Mom, they are here again. My eldest brother hasn't come back yet. What should I do?" Seeing this, Dong'er shrank back behind Aunt Zhou in fear.

Nangong Xi looked at the group of servants, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes.

"Don't be afraid, Dong'er. I'm here." Nangong Xi patted Dong'er's little head soothingly.

"Sister Nangong, be careful, those people are bad." Dong'er quickly grabbed Nangong Xi's arm.

"What do you want to do?" Aunt Zhou stood in front of Nangong Xi and the others and asked coldly.

"Madam, we still call you Madam, please don't be ungrateful." said the leading servant.

"Don't you know how to appreciate my kindness? I have nothing to do with the You family anymore. I am not worthy of being called Madam." Aunt Zhou said in a very cold tone.

"Madam, we are starting to pick up Miss Dong'er this time." The leading servant looked at Dong'er.

"Impossible! Get out of here." Aunt Zhou immediately got angry when she heard that.

"Madam, you have to think clearly. Although Miss Dong'er will be Miss Shanshan's maid when she goes back, she will still have a life of luxury. Isn't it better than living a hard life with you here?" The words spoken by the leading servant made Aunt Zhou tremble with anger.

At this moment, she only hoped that her eldest son could come back earlier today.

"No, I don't want to be You Shan's maid." Dong'er exclaimed.

"Miss Dong'er, I'm afraid this is not up to you." The leading servant was very arrogant.

"Mom, I don't want it." Dong'er was trembling with fear.

"Come here, take Miss Dong'er away." The leading servant gave the order directly.

"You dare?" Aunt Zhou hugged Dong'er tightly.

Just as the servants surrounded them, Nangong Xi blew a strong wind and the servants fell to the ground in pieces.

"Sister Nangong is so awesome." Dong'er cheered upon seeing this.

Aunt Zhou stared at the scene in front of her in a daze.

She originally thought that Nangong Xi was just a weak woman who had lost her way and lost her memory, but she didn't expect that she was actually a cultivator.

"You... who are you? How dare you hurt us?" The leading servant pointed at Nangong Xi with fear on his face.

Nangong Xi said nothing, and a strong wind blew past, and all the servants fell to the ground and wailed.

"Get out! If I see you here again, I will kill you. Go back and tell the people from the You family that if they dare to go after Dong'er again, I will wipe out the entire You family." Nangong Xi said coldly.

The servants were so frightened that they scrambled to crawl out of the yard.

The strong wind from Nangong Xi just now broke their left legs directly, so they could only crawl back.

"Auntie Zhou, Dong'er, it's okay." After the servants climbed out of the yard, Nangong Xi looked at Auntie Zhou and Dong'er with a smile.

"Sister Nangong, you are so awesome, even better than my brother." Dong'er looked at Nangong Xi with admiration.

"Xier, I didn't expect you to be a noble practitioner." Aunt Zhou exclaimed.

"Are there very few practitioners here?" Nangong Xi asked puzzledly.

"This is a country of exile, so there are naturally very few practitioners." Aunt Zhou nodded.

"Dong'er, do you want to practice?" Nangong Xi looked at Dong'er beside him.

"I think that Dong'er can protect mother and brother after practicing." Dong'er nodded heavily when he heard it.

"But if you want to practice, you need to endure some pain. Are you willing, Dong'er?" Nangong Xi continued to ask.

"Yes, Dong'er is willing." Dong'er nodded without hesitation.

"Xier, are you really willing to teach Donger how to practice?" Aunt Zhou at the side was filled with ecstasy.

"As long as Dong'er is willing." Nangong Xi nodded.

thump!

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou knelt down towards Nangong Xi.
