Chapter 46 - By no means simple

"No need, since I'm here, I have no intention of leaving."

Mo Xiyan said as she stepped on the grass and entered the courtyard door, "If you don't change your mind, then help me build the house."

"This servant will never change his mind."

Zhang Ye stared at Mo Xiyan, and said sincerely, "If Eldest Miss believes me, then give me another half a month. I'll make a trip back to the Palace."

When he returned, he naturally wanted to settle the matter of his own identity so that he could follow Mo Xiyan without worry.

Of course she understood, so she had no reason to refuse.

"Then go and come back quickly. I hope you can make it back before I prepare everything and start working."

"This servant will return as soon as possible with the fastest speed possible." Zhang Ye patted his chest as he promised his.

"Alright, then I'll wait for your return." Mo Xiyan nodded his head in satisfaction, and turned around to check the situation, "Uncle Mo, can you help me find out who has an empty house in the village? I want to rent one while we are rebuilding the house."

He felt that since Mo Xiyan was not favored by his father, he would not have much free money at the Li Residence. Although the cost of renting a house was not much, it was still better to save some money.

So he directly suggested, "It will take at most half a year to rebuild the house, and it won't be for long. If Big Miss doesn't mind, we can squeeze into my house first, or else A Liu would know about this, and would definitely blame me for not taking good care of you."

"Li Zheng, there's no need to be polite with me. In any case, I'll be living in the village from now on. Unless you don't welcome me, I'll take care of my time at your house."

Mo Xiyan immediately rejected them with a wave of her hand, "Besides, your family has just added tetradecyl to their work, so we will just trouble you guys. Furthermore, I feel that I will have to disturb auntie often in the future, after all this is my first time leaving home, so I am not familiar with many things."

"Since Miss Mo has already said so, then I won't be polite."

Before, he wanted to say that he would have to overcome this difficulty. But now that Mo Xiyan didn't need to, he was actually relieved.

As for the house, he already had a choice in mind, and that was Sang Nu's house.

She was the only one in her family, and her house was only a little smaller than his, so most of the time it was empty.

Furthermore, Sang Nu and Mo Xiyan had already met before, and would most likely not refuse.

"Speaking of which, there's a very suitable one." Just as he was thinking about this, he pointed to a courtyard on the right side of the road. "That is the Sang Nu's house, she is the only one there, and normally no one walks around. Furthermore, in front of your house, they are only four or five meters apart."

Mo Xiyan looked in the direction that Li Zheng was pointing, the courtyard house was indeed more meticulously constructed than the other houses in the village, even the walls were taller than the others.

Of course, these were all external conditions. What she was most satisfied with was the fact that they were close to her home.

Right, in her eyes, this old mansion already belonged to her. It had nothing to do with the Prime Minister anymore.

"It's good, it's good. I wonder if Sang Nu is willing to rent it out to me."

For an old man living alone, his sense of safety was definitely higher than that of an ordinary person. This point could be seen just by looking at the wall that her family had purposely built to protect her family.

If she were to directly go up and ask for the price, she would most likely be rejected by the Sang Nu, right?

After all, she had only met her once, and in a sense they were strangers.

"If Eldest Miss doesn't have any objections, I'll take you guys to ask her now."

Li Zheng had accepted the mission with great effort and happened to fall into Mo Xiyan's hands.

"Then I'll be troubling you, the price is negotiable, as long as Sang Nu is willing to rent it."

As he said till here, Mo Xiyan slightly paused, then continued, "Uncle, don't call me big miss, just call me Xiyan."

Since she was going to stay there for a long time, she was just a villager here. How could she put on airs here?

Li Zheng was slightly surprised, but he quickly regained his composure. "Alright, we'll go now."

Mo Xiyan smiled and nodded, then walked towards Sang Nu's residence.

Because they were so close, they quickly arrived at Sang Nu's doorstep, and just as they were about to knock on the courtyard door …

Sang Nu opened the door very quickly. When she looked up and saw that it was Mo Xiyan and the rest, she immediately smiled.

"Yes, is here. Please come in."

In her eyes, she could be considered to have a good relationship with A Liu, so she was naturally very grateful to her.

The Sang Nu led them into the living room and poured them a cup of tea before sitting down.

"Why did you come here? "You won't come specially to see me, this old woman, will you?"

Li Zheng laughed heartily, "Sang Nu is right, there is indeed something we need to discuss."

He scratched the back of his head, thought for a while and continued, "You know, the yard next to yours was originally owned by Mo Clan member, and now that Xiao Yan has come back, she can't live in that house alone, so she wanted to rent an empty house here for a period of time. Once the house was rebuilt, she would go back, and it wouldn't be long before she went back.

Hearing that, Sang Nu shifted her gaze onto Mo Xiyan. Her brows slightly knitted, showing that she was extremely hesitant.

"It's good to care about her. If A Liu doesn't have her with the tetradecyl, can you at least say a thing or two. There's definitely no problem with her character, she …"

"How is your wife and tetradecyl doing?"

Sang Nu jumped over the issue of renting the house, and directly jumped onto Li Zheng's wife's body, "I heard kudzu burn it again this morning? I had originally wanted to go and take a look after this. "

"It's all thanks to my face, I'm doing really well now." Just as he was talking about his own wife and tetradecyl, the smile on his face couldn't stop.

"On account of Li Zheng and his wife, I agree to this matter."

After Sang Nu heard it, he smiled and nodded his head, then turned to look at Mo Xiyan, "I do not want the money, but I will leave the firewood and the water in the water vat at home to you."

She was an old woman who was weak, and what she said were physical tasks. Even if she wanted the rent, Mo Xiyan would take the initiative to take up these two matters as she knew that she had special abilities and that her physique couldn't be compared to ordinary people.

Furthermore, Sang Nu did not want her rent yet, so she had to take responsibility for this. Furthermore, after she lived here, she had to take a good look and see if she was required to do the other jobs as well.

Just as she was thinking, the Sang Nu suddenly asked, "You came back from a young lady's family. Your father is a dignified prime minister, so why can't he tolerate you? Did you make some mistake to be sent to this backwater? "

Mo Xiyan never thought that she would suddenly ask such a sharp question, and was immediately stunned.

Zhang He had not expected, especially Zhang Ye, who almost jumped up from his seat when he heard Sang Nu's words. If not for Mo Xiyan pulling him over, he might even 'reason' with her.

What she was more concerned about was the background of this Sang Nu in front of her.

From her point of view, the question she was asking now was not something an ordinary peasant woman would ask. Or rather, an ordinary peasant woman would only know a little about the situation and would not appear to be a threat.

But not only did she ask, she was also very serious, and her expression was very serious.

This showed that she wasn't just asking, but was truly concerned about this.

So, could she conclude that this Sang Nu was definitely not as simple as she looked on the surface?
