Xie Xian stepped into the clean courtyard. The courtyard was not big but well-equipped. A little girl with pigtails looked straight at her with round eyes. In her hand, she held a purple peach with a fragrant scent. Xie Xian took a bite without changing her expression. The juice overflowed and the fragrance lingered in her mouth.

Xie Miao went in to pour tea. Qingdai looked at the two children in the yard, one watching the other eating. She covered her eyes, not knowing why she felt that the lady's character was getting worse and worse. She looked at the basket in her wife's hand, rubbed her hands and quietly left.

After eating, Xie Xian squinted her eyes with satisfaction and asked, "Do you like pears?"

The little girl nodded: "Like word." She didn't quite understand why her aunt asked her if she liked pears when she was holding a wild peach.

After confirming that the girl named Xiao Li'er really liked to eat pears, Xie Xian nodded and generously handed over a mountain peach, "Call me auntie."

Xiao Li'er greedily tugged at the corner of her clothes and called her "Auntie", but did not reach out her hand. She tilted her head and saw that her mother was still in the kitchen and had not come out yet. She did not dare to take it. The mountain peaches of this aunt smelled so good, but her mother said that she could not eat other people's things casually.

Xie Xian stuffed the mountain peach into Xiao Li'er's mouth, "Look, your saliva has made it dirty," and she couldn't eat it.

Xiao Lier nodded in ignorance and took the tea and started eating. When Qing Dai and Xie Miaomiao came out with the tea, Xiao Lier kept calling them "Auntie".

Xie Miaomiao was a little surprised to see Xiao Li'er being so close to Xie Xian, and Qingdai was also a little dazed. Her wife was having fun with the little girl using wild peaches, but how should she deal with the remaining troublesome things?

Several people sat in the courtyard. Xiao Li'er leaned against Xie Miaomiao. She had just eaten too much and seemed to want to fall asleep. Xie Xian wiped her hands with a handkerchief and asked calmly, "Have you decided?"

"It's all up to the lady," she looked at Xie Xian's gentle face. It was hard to imagine that such a weak lady could fight with others to help her. She is really worthy of being the daughter of my second house. She is decisive and heroic. Whenever Xie Miaomiao thinks of her, she feels hot in her heart. Although the lady is a woman, she feels at ease.

Xie Xian waved her hand, took the indenture from Qingdai's hand and looked at it carefully. Well, this was just an ordinary white indenture, and the words on it were unclear, not saying whether it was for a slave or a concubine. "Take Uncle Bo's sign and change it for a red indenture." Qingdai was a little confused.

"Why, madam?" Qingdai still didn't understand and just looked at Xie Xian.

Tu Zhen leaned against the table and sneered, "After the contract is signed, Zhu'er can only be a concubine." Xie Xian smiled and nodded, "Let them be happy." I am a good person.

Everyone: “…”

"Then why use Uncle Bo's brand? Isn't it..." for hotel use? We have our own brand, and we thought that once our own Yu brand is out, the gods and ghosts will be scared away, so why use someone else's?

The girl had a lot of ideas in her mind. Xie Xian chuckled and said, "How can I use my own name for such a thing?" So she felt sorry for Uncle Bo, but she guessed he wouldn't go ashore.

Third girl: .....You will have no friends if you continue like this.

Bai Guanzhong, the county magistrate of Que County, was a son-in-law of the Cui family who had been kidnapped for many years. Because of the relationship between the Xie and Cui families, everyone liked to push the young men to the neighbors to train them, under the pretext of avoiding suspicion. Because the Xia Dynasty was newly established, although some of the noble officials did not care about worldly things, most of them were gentry without real jobs. People like Bai County Magistrate, whose clans were weak, still had to work diligently.

Most of the Que County under his jurisdiction was included in Chenliu, where the Xie clan lived together with other surnames. When judging cases in such a place where noble families and minor surnames lived together, he could neither bring disgrace to the Cui family nor deal with the case carelessly. Today, he was drinking tea with Xie County Magistrate and discussing the refugees. Just as he was talking about whether to visit the Xie clan, he saw the clerk come to report.

Taking the petition in his hand, County Magistrate Bai narrowed his eyes: "?"

The clerk raised his eyes to look at County Magistrate Xie who was sitting next to him with his goat beard in a calm and composed manner, and said, "Also submitted with this petition is a plaque of the third branch of the Xie family." After saying this, he presented a wooden plaque with a gold background and a white Xie jade bottle pattern from the Xie family.

County Magistrate Xie paused stroking his beard, and kept smiling as if he heard nothing.

County Magistrate Bai also took it and looked through it carefully. The Xie family plaque was not common, but no one would dare to say it was fake. The golden plaque shone in the sun, and this color was full of the smell of wealth, which made people's eyes hurt. I thought about visiting the Xie family clan just now, or I might as well go to the third branch of the Xie family. Just looking at the plaque, it seems very confident.

County Magistrate Bai walked behind the desk, unfolded the petition in his hand, and thought to himself that if it wasn't something too difficult, he would approve it. County Magistrate Bai stared at the petition for a long time, from being indifferent at first, to being shocked, then frowning, and finally suddenly realizing. His expression changed constantly, causing County Magistrate Xie to look at him frequently.

Bai Guanzhong read it carefully, flipping through the last few pages from time to time. At first glance, it seemed that there were signatures and seals from different people. There was nothing special about this petition, just a divorce document, but the rhythm of the writing was interesting.

At the beginning, it is clearly stated that this is a divorce application, and the husband and wife state it separately, and the reason for the divorce is also listed in a separate line. It is clear at a glance.

The most interesting thing is that regarding the division of property, it was not like the past where a bunch of people from the clan had to argue for two days. Instead, it was listed in a grid, starting with the date when the woman named Xie Miaomiao married into the family, the amount of dowry she brought, the total price, and a dowry list at the end, with a careful note that it was a copy, and even the signature of who copied the copy.

Start with the time period, write down the market value of the family's assets, from houses to shops, and note the valuation of the real estate agency at the end. List all the details line by line until you get a total amount.

Finally, it was noted that the woman was willing to give up half of the family property and asked for custody of her daughter.

Bai Guanzhong did not have any opinion on the matter itself. He had seen too many such things. If he were to say, he could have gotten more by using Xie's trick, but he only made two simple requests afterwards.

What the county magistrate cares about is that this writing format is truly unique, and the cause-and-effect order from top to bottom is clear and organized. The reader's train of thought follows this method without having to think too much or consider the truth or falsehood, because the additional materials are provided at the back, and there is no need to ask his clerks to make a trip to verify the correctness.

In the end, even the space for his approval was left blank. County Magistrate Bai had a strange feeling. This type of official document was too friendly to his superiors. He didn't have to think at all, and there were only two opinions: approve or reject.

Seeing that he had been reading for almost two cups of tea, the plump and white County Magistrate Xie glanced at him several times. He was waiting for County Magistrate Bai to ask him about the Xie family, but after waiting for a long time, County Magistrate Bai was completely immersed in the paper and did not notice his expression. If he had not been concerned about his superior, he would have leaned over to take a look.

County Magistrate Bai thought for a long time, and the more he looked, the more excited he became. "Seconds...seconds." Just as County Assistant Secretary Xie saw the word "divorce", he heard County Magistrate Bai say this.

County Magistrate Xie: You are so happy just reading a divorce letter, I'm afraid you are seriously ill.

Finally, County Magistrate Bai wrote "approved", and the divorce agreement became official. County Magistrate Xie looked at the boat pattern on the back of the token, glanced at the documents on the table and fell into deep thought. He shook his head and couldn't figure out why the third branch would interfere in this matter, so he squinted his eyes and continued to bask in the sun.

Xie Miaomiao never thought that she would get the documents so quickly. At Xie Xian's request, she entrusted her house and property to the dental firm. She took the deposit from the dental firm and Xiao Lizi and hired a donkey cart to follow Xie Xian's ox cart.

Although delayed for a day on the road, Xie Xian was not in a hurry. After getting off the boat, she knew that her every move was being watched, but she ignored it and continued to travel and enjoy the scenery as usual.

Close to the tribe’s land, only a small portion of the fields have started using the composting method.

It seems that this method of mine is not taken seriously in the Xie family. But that's right. Things like this that take a long time to take effect always take time. However, Xie Xian is not in a hurry. Farmyard manure is nothing. If she wants to gain more say in the Xie family, it is impossible to do it overnight. Even in the modern workplace, she has to accumulate experience, not to mention the ancient times where hierarchy is important.

She came back this time because she hated facing external troubles and because of her age, at this critical moment alone, troubles at home were not as important as her life.

Although she is troubled by the intrigues within the big family, this is the most advantageous option for her at the moment.

She had taught the composting method to others before she set off, but it was not up to her whether the tribe would use it or not.

It is also possible that she will be married off to someone randomly after she returns this time. However, according to Qingdai, the daughter of the second branch of the Xie family will not marry outside the family. In addition, her age as an orphan makes it even better, so she doesn't have to worry about anything.

But before that, Xie Xian just wanted to gain more say, after all, no one likes to have their fate decided by others. She looked at Tu Zhen's back through the plain curtain. If she really met someone she didn't like, it would be good to just leave and follow Xiao Zhenzhen up the mountain.

Stroking the black stone ring on her hand, Xie Xian fell into deep thought. She thought of the Wu Nu people she had met in the Cui family villa. Tsk tsk, they obviously have superb martial arts skills, but they have ended up in such a miserable state. If anyone dares to do this to her, she will kill him.

Stop~~~Xie Xian changed her position and continued lying down, silently reciting a few words "it's none of my business".

The reason I came back this time was to return the black stone ring, and then find a long-term meal ticket to eat and drink well. Being a queen is too tiring. I died of overwork in my last life, so I must lie down in this life.

Thinking about these, Xie Xian slowly fell asleep.
