Tang Xian raised an eyebrow. Of course, he knew that vegetables fertilized today wouldn't be eaten. Ordinary people would wait for a week or two, and even those who were more particular would wait at least half a month...

Of course, before fertilizing, it is common practice to pick the vegetables that are about to mature so that they won't spoil in a few days.

But seeing Tang Yang's expression of acceptance of his fate, he knew that he definitely didn't understand any of this.

"Speaking of which, what are we having for dinner today?" Tang Xian was genuinely quite hungry.

"Eggplant, potato, cucumber, just eat whatever you have." Fu Jiujiu looked at the two people and asked if they had any objections.

No, of course not.

With Tang Xian present, Fu Jiujiu found an excuse to slip back to her room and hurried to check if Ji-Ji had sent any messages. Unfortunately, there was nothing!

What's up with the message?

Were you kidnapped?

So that's why Tang Xian came here himself?

Fujiu asked Jiji what was going on, only to find out it had all been a big misunderstanding. Jiji just missed her and flew back especially to see her.

"Fu Jiujiu nearly jumped out of her skin. "You scared me to death," she exclaimed.

She just really thought something important had been scooped, and she didn't know if it would ruin Tang Xian's plans.

It's ok, it's ok.

"Chirp Chirp, what are you doing?" Tang Yang stared in the direction where Fu Chirp Chirp had gone and asked.

"That's just how children are. They haven't settled into their personalities yet, one minute they're this way, the next they're that." Tang Xian said.

Tang Yang smiled faintly, “I remember when Lao Qi was your age, you sat very steadily.”

"Is that so? Fifth Brother truly cares for me a lot. He even remembers things like this."

Of course, remember that time you left the palace, you were about the same age as Chi-Chi, weren't you? Before you left, I remember you coughed for a long time and sat there for ages.

Tang Xian's eyes flickered, "Fifth brother, you mean the time I almost got killed by bandits?"

"Well said, Lao Qi, you're truly lucky. You had a serious illness, countless renowned doctors said your life was hanging by a thread, but you miraculously survived and even recovered. That incident was also quite severe, I heard it was dreadful, yet you managed to escape unscathed."

"Fifth Brother, I never knew you knew so much about my affairs. You seem to know everything."

Tang Xian raised his head. The wind blew the treetops, and a leaf floated down gently. He reached out and held it in his palm. "Perhaps my mother's spirit is watching over me," he said.

When asked about his mother, Tang Yang's face darkened, and he stopped talking about it. "Where is Jiujiu?"

"Here I am!" Fu Chi-Chi ran over, "Both royal princes, Mother said dinner is ready, she called you to go eat."

"So fast?" Tang Yang was a little surprised.

Fujujiao wants to say that an ordinary farm family pot cooks everything together, vegetables and rice, potatoes, eggplants, beans, corn, whatever they have, isn't it fast enough?

Although it wasn't a particularly fancy meal, Tang Yang had to admit that it was the most heartwarming meal he'd ever had.

At night, with Athos and Namo gone next door, Fu-Chiu flew onto the rooftop and felt much freer.

“I knew you’d come back to me.”

Tang Xian looked at the increasingly larger little milk dumpling, her heart was a bit complicated. On one hand, she hoped that she would always be so cute, and she could find her without any scruples. On the other hand, she also hoped that she would grow up sooner.

Tang Xian felt that probably many parents faced their own children with the same feelings as him.

"Tang Qi gege..."

"Shhh!"

Before Fu Jiujiu could even speak, Tang Xian stopped her. At the same time, she smelled a strange scent in the air.

Her large, round eyes widened even further, and she didn't dare make a sound.

A metallic tang hung heavy in the air, and Fu Jiujiu's unusually acute hearing picked up the clang of steel on steel.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Tang Xian reached for her hand. Whether it was the wind on the roof or she was just caught up in the atmosphere, he felt a little nervous too.

The flesh was tender and a little cool, but the moment it was enveloped by Tang Xian's large hand, the chill became negligible.

Fujujiao feels that Tang Xian is really a very good brother, and he is also very considerate and meticulous.

After about a stick of incense, Fu Jiujiu no longer heard the sound of swords clashing.

"Is it over?" Fu Chi-Chiu asked, the smell of blood heavier than before.

Fu Jiujiu's martial arts weren't very high level, and everyone who came was stronger than her. She didn't even know how many people had come.

Tang Xian took a deep breath, and as one familiar face after another appeared behind him, Fu Jiu knew that the incoming people had been repelled or killed.

Fu Jiu Jiu still saw a beautiful woman in the crowd. Her fair skin looked eerie and alluring against the backdrop of purple gauze, especially the single streak of blood on her left cheek, which added a touch of mystery to her.

"Master!" Fu JiuJiu stood up, and Tang Xian also appropriately let go of her hand, allowing her to dash towards Hua Ning Xue.

Hua Ning Xue wiped the blood from her cheek and confirmed with Lin Wei that she was clean and wouldn't scare the little dumpling before bending down. She touched the child's head, "Aiyo, my strange disciple, you've grown so much! You're even more handsome now. Do you miss your master?"

Fuju jumped and nodded, "Yes."

"Master misses you too, and if you're ever going to miss me, just don't let your master send me to such a faraway place." Hua Ning Xue gave a coquettish smile. "That kind of place would ruin even my soft skin."

"Master, this is simple. I'll give you a box of this skin-softening cream when the time comes. It's made with many flower essential oils that I've spent a lot of effort on."

Hua Ningxue lightly patted Fu Jiujiao's little arm and couldn't help but kiss her face. "Aiyo, my good apprentice, so filial, your master really loves you."

She flaunted herself to the serious men beside her.

"Master, the people have been killed. The survivors also committed suicide by poison."

"Is it... the Fifth Prince's people or Elder Yan's?" Fu Jiujiu didn't forget the important matter.

"It must be Yan Xiang." Tang Xian said.

Then Fu Jiujiu knew what was going on. It must have been aimed at the Qin siblings.

Qin Xiu was injured and was also on the rooftop. She wondered, "Why would a strict person like Yan Xiang come to kill Miss Jiujiu?"

Everyone glanced at her, then avoided the topic.

Qin Xiu didn't think much of it, just thinking that she was momentarily excited and forgot her identity, asking what she shouldn't have.

Fu JiuJiu, since knowing it was Yan Xiang, had already guessed his purpose. She also understood that with this assassination attempt failing, Yan Song definitely wouldn't let things go.

Tang Xian saw her worry, "Don't worry, the experts from Tingfeng Building have already been ambushed around your home. I also found people to secretly protect your brother and sister-in-law at your hometown."

Fu JiuJiu smiled gratefully at Tang Xian. "Then, when shall we settle the accounts?"

She's been waiting for this day, Qin Chuang even more so.

Tang Xian took a deep breath, "I'm having someone look for evidence of Yan Song collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Lord Zhong's will is only his own word, making it difficult to convict him. But if we find letters proving Yan Song's treason, things will be different."

Two updates today, one more to come. Next week will make up for the outstanding chapters.
