The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

After telling all this, Chen Rong beside him had admiration in his eyes and his words were full of respect.

"Sister, this trick of yours is really brilliant! It's simply suppressing my IQ!"

He tightened the knife in his hand, and seemed to be proud of Chen Xi for being able to resolve the potential crisis so skillfully.

"I'm just worried that once they realize they've been fooled, they might get angry and come after you. After all... human hearts are hard to predict." Upon hearing this, Xie Tianyi frowned and looked solemn.

He knew very well that in this world where the strong prey on the weak, any small friction could turn into an unmanageable situation, and Chen Xi's safety was what he cared about most and what he could not afford to lose.

When Chen Rong heard this, he seemed to have just realized what was going on and nodded.

There was unstoppable worry in her words: "Yes, sister, why don't you take me with you..."

Thinking of this, his eyes became more determined, and he secretly vowed that no matter what, he would protect his sister and not let any threats get close.

"Don't worry, just stay home. If even you are not here..."

Chen Xi hesitated to speak. Although he didn't finish what he was going to say, everyone knew what he meant.

Especially Xie Tianyi, he lowered his head silently, with a flash of sadness in his eyes. He knew why Chen Xi said these words, he was the one who dragged them down.

Noticing that the man looked strange, Chen Xi smiled slightly and refused to say anything more.

Facing her brother's worried look, Chen Xi thought for a while and finally spoke slowly. Her voice was gentle but powerful.

"They didn't dare to do anything rash. After all, I never taught them how to identify those precious and subtle herbal knowledge, let alone led them astray in any way. It was their own greed that arose in their hearts. They sneaked in when I wasn't paying attention and ended up digging up ordinary rhizomes that looked like herbs by mistake. How can this mistake be attributed to me?"

Hearing this, the person next to him showed some worry in his expression, and his eyes swept back and forth over Chen Xi, as if he wanted to engrave her figure deeply in his heart.

"That being said, there are always some unreasonable guys in this world. If they get carried away by anger and insist on arguing with you, or even resort to violence, I'm really worried that you will suffer unnecessary harm."

Xie Tianyi looked calm at this moment, as if he was not affected by the previous words.

Seeing this, Chen Xi smiled slightly. That smile was as warm as a spring breeze, soothing the tense atmosphere around them.

"Don't worry, I will be careful and ensure my safety. Today is still early and sunny, it is a good time to pick herbs. I plan to return before the last sunset in the sky sinks. In broad daylight, I don't think they dare to act recklessly."

After saying that, she gently patted the other person's shoulder, and her firmness and confidence seemed to dispel all uneasiness.

Chen Xi's figure immediately merged into the vibrant green, leaving only a trail of footprints.

Her gentle voice of comfort seemed to still echo in the air, giving people infinite strength and hope.

Above the dining table, soft light shines down, giving this small world a layer of warm golden glow.

The atmosphere is quiet and harmonious, the air is filled with the enticing aroma of stewed food, making the taste of home particularly rich.

The two little guys were concentrating on the plate of bright red and fragrant braised pork chops in front of them. Their little hands were tightly grasping the chops, with a focused and enjoyable expression on their faces. Their mouths were full of oil, and occasionally the sauce slipped down the corners of their mouths, adding a bit of childish naivety.

Chen Xi sat at the table, looking at the two little foodies with a smile in his eyes, and endless tenderness surged in his heart.

She picked up the chopsticks and deftly picked up two of the most tender and juicy ribs from the plate. She carefully removed the excess bones and placed them on the plates of Xie Tianyi and his brother Chen Rong respectively. Her movements were full of delicacy and care.

"Sister, these ribs are so delicious! Let's eat them like this next time."

Chen Rong's words were intermittent because his mouth was full of delicious food. His cheeks were puffy and his eyes were shining with satisfaction and joy. He looked so cute that people couldn't help but reach out and rub his head.

Chen Xi looked at him like this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, his eyes flashing with doting light, he said softly but firmly: "Eat first, and talk after you're full. Speak slowly, be careful not to choke."

Perhaps because he realized his own somewhat awkward eating posture, Chen Rong suddenly raised his head and gave his sister and Xie Tianyi beside him a shy but innocent smile.

That smile seemed to melt the ice and snow, making the atmosphere at the dining table more warm and harmonious.

And Xie Tianyi, a usually taciturn but thoughtful man, also showed his tenderness in this warm moment.

He gently picked up a handful of juicy green vegetables with his chopsticks and placed them in Chen Xi's bowl. His movements were so gentle as if he was afraid of disturbing something.

With this subtle movement, he opened his thin lips and said in a low voice that only his family could hear: "You should eat more too. You've been busy all day and have worked hard."

This simple sentence, like the warm sunshine in spring, warmed Chen Xi's heart and made her feel extremely at ease and happy.

This gentle and caring expression, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter, quietly penetrated the thin layer of ice in Chen Xi's heart, causing long-lost ripples in her heart. A warm current slowly surged, warming her long-lonely soul.

During those long and monotonous days in the past, Chen Xi always worked silently and diligently.

Her figure shuttled through every corner of the Chen family's house, but she seemed like air. No one cared about her, and no one was willing to stop and give her a little attention or greetings.

In this family, she seemed to be just a selfless shadow, bearing the burden of life alone. Whether it was physical and mental fatigue or the occasional little joy, she could only hide it deep in her heart, knowing only herself whether it was the cold or the warmth, as if the whole world had forgotten her.

However, as time goes by, Chen Xi finally has a few people around her who truly care about her.

They were like the drizzle in spring, silently nourishing her dry heart and bringing new vitality and color to her world.

She looked at her brother who was sleeping beside her and Xie Tianyi who was not far away, and secretly vowed in her heart to use all her efforts to protect this hard-earned happiness and warmth.

For those who have helped her and treated her with kindness, Chen Xi decided to repay them with double her enthusiasm and hard work, so that this precious emotion can take root and sprout in everyone's heart like a seed, and bloom into a gorgeous flower.
