The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyi's expression changed slightly, and a complex expression flashed across his eyes, as if he was wavering between accusation and confusion.

"Qin, what are you talking about? I am grateful for Miss Mo's kindness, but every family has its own rules and every matter has its own principles. How can we forget the basics just because of a temporary help?"

Although his words were light, each one was powerful and revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Qin became even angrier when she heard that. She clenched her hands into fists and pushed Xie Tianyi hard. The force was mixed with the resentment and resentment of years of hard work.

"You! I raised you with all my hard work and effort, and this is how you treat me?"

Her voice trembled slightly and tears glistened in her eyes, filled with disappointment and heartache.

"That's enough," Xie Tianyi took a deep breath, trying to calm down the sudden disturbance. "No matter what the purpose of Miss Mo's visit is, this is the Xie family's ancestral home. It is not right to enter without permission. If you really want to make trouble, I will immediately ask the government to intervene and discuss it clearly."

Chen Xi interrupted at the right time. Her voice was cold and powerful, like a gust of cold wind in spring, which made people feel a chill in their hearts.

"Not everyone can endure the pain of prison. Do you think you can get away with it every time?"

As soon as these words came out, Qin's face turned pale instantly, and her momentum weakened a little. It was obvious that the unbearable experience made her feel frightened.

"Miss Mo, I think we should go back first. We shouldn't stay here for long today."

Qin's voice was filled with helplessness and retreat. Obviously, she didn't want to repeat the same mistake and experience the dark life in prison.

Seeing this, Mo Shiyu felt unwilling, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to force it today.

Xie Tianyi's protection of Chen Xi was beyond her expectations, which made her realize that if she wanted to bring Chen Xi down, she had to find another opportunity and kill him with one strike.

So, under the complicated gazes of the crowd, the mother and daughter left the Xie family compound in disappointment, their backs looking particularly lonely.

As for Chen Xi, after they left, she quietly returned to the house and changed into a neat and tidy men's suit, as if everything that had just happened was just a small ripple in her ordinary life, fleeting and had no effect on her at all.

Xie Tianyi changed his clothes and sat alone on a stone bench in the courtyard. He seemed to be surrounded by an invisible haze. Even the lively Xiaoyang and Xiaochen at home did not dare to approach him easily. They just looked at their young master from afar, their eyes full of confusion and worry.

Seeing this, Chen Xi curled up a gentle smile. Xie Tianyi's look made her feel a little childish and aggrieved.

"Xie Tianyi, how about I perform a magic trick for you?"

She suggested mysteriously, trying to dispel the gloom in his heart.

Hearing this, Xie Tianyi finally raised his head, his eyes flashing with curiosity and anticipation, like a child longing for a surprise.

"A trick? What is a trick?"

There was a childlike innocence in his tone.

Chen Xi smiled gently, and with a flick of his finger, the originally inconspicuous twig in his palm instantly transformed into a gorgeous rose, so beautiful that it was dripping with beauty.

"See, that's the trick."

She smiled, her eyes full of encouragement and warmth.

"Remember, people's words are scary, but don't take them too seriously. Everyone has his or her own measure in his or her heart. As Shakespeare said, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people. We just need to be ourselves and have a clear conscience."

Chen Xi's words were like a gentle spring breeze, gradually calming the waves in Xie Tianyi's heart.

An indescribable warmth surged in Xie Tianyi's heart. He looked at Chen Xi gratefully, his heart full of emotion: "Thank you, Chen Xi, no one has ever understood me like you do."

At this moment, he wanted to hold her in his arms regardless of everything, but reason told him that he should not let a momentary impulse destroy this rare tacit understanding and harmony.

He knew that he had fallen in love with this mysterious and intelligent woman, but more importantly, he hoped that she would feel the same way about him.

He dreamed of spending his life with her, until time turned their black hair into frost and snow.

Seeing Xie Tianyi finally smile, Chen Xi felt relieved, so he entrusted Xiaoyang and Xiaochen to him with confidence, and followed his master to the clinic.

"I'll leave the children to you. I'm going to the clinic with Master today, so they don't have to go to school. You must have scared them with your serious look just now."

She smiled, her words full of trust in Xie Tianyi.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xie Tianyi's face. It turned out that Chen Xi's trick was not only to amuse him, but also to comfort the two children.

He quickly agreed: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them."

Chen Xi smiled and nodded, and left side by side with her master. Mo Hua and Mo Qin, who were dressed as servants, followed closely. The two sisters were not only literate, but their studies in the clinic also gave them a preliminary understanding of pharmacology, and they were full of curiosity and yearning for the unknown world.

At the same time, in the Chen family mansion, Xie Tianyi was vividly telling Xiaoyang and Xiaochen about the interesting stories in the academy. Although the stories were simple, the children listened with gusto, their eyes sparkling with desire for knowledge and longing for the future.

Meanwhile, in the mansion, a discussion about whether to stay or leave was quietly taking place.

"Miss, the gentleman has already gotten up."

The servant reported respectfully, and the "master" he mentioned naturally referred to Xie Tianyi's father.

Mr. Xie was in the servants' side room, struggling to pack his bag. In fact, the so-called bag was just a few dirty clothes that he had changed yesterday.

Seeing this, Qin hurried forward to support him and asked with concern: "Old man, what are you doing?"

"The girl was kind enough to save us. We can't stay here forever. I'm feeling much better now. It's time to go home."

Mr. Xie's tone was firm, and it was obvious that he had made up his mind.

Although Qin was reluctant to leave, after all, the living conditions here were much better than in the village, and she had Miss Mo to rely on, but she did not dare to object directly, and could only dissuade him tactfully: "Your injury has not yet fully recovered, so why not stay a few more days and let the doctor in the mansion check you again."

However, Mr. Xie's attitude was extremely firm: "No, I can't cause you any more trouble."

His insistence forced Mo Shiyu to remain silent for a while. After thinking for a moment, she made a new suggestion: "You have nowhere to go now. Even if Chen Xi doesn't let you stay, don't worry, I have a way. I--"

"Miss Mo, do you really have a solution?"

Qin couldn't wait to ask, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Mo Shiyu nodded heavily, her tone full of confidence: "Don't worry, my father is the county lieutenant. If Chen Xi doesn't respect you, it's illegal. As long as I tell my father, he can handle it."

For Qin, who knew nothing about the law, legal concepts such as the "Seven Grounds for Divorce" were vague, but when she heard Mo Shiyu's confident promise, her heart was suddenly filled with hope.
