Tang Sisi watched as Wenxiu and Song Xiaoyue left the city gates. After they disappeared into the distance, she got Xiang'er to call for a carriage and then left for the south side of the street.

Xiang'er sat in the car, looking at Tang Sisi, who was very worried. She pursed her lips and comforted her, "Don't worry miss, young master Dong is a scholar, he knows his place and is refined. He definitely won't mind …"

"We can't let him know!" Before Xiang'er could finish her sentence, Tang Sisi interrupted her. "That scholar loves to be in the limelight. "Look at my big brother …" Tang Sisi didn't finish her sentence before changing the subject. "Alright, let's not tell anyone about what happened today, okay?" Even Master cannot speak of it. "

Even though she said that, Tang Sisi was actually very depressed. She was even more confused. Only she, Xiang'er and Young Master Dong knew that she had left the house today. How could someone have been lying in ambush on that remote path? Who had leaked her?

Could it be …

Tang Sisi cast a doubtful gaze at Xiang'er.

Xiang'er was already in a difficult position. When she saw that her young miss was looking at her with an inquiring gaze, her entire body suddenly trembled. She thought that her young miss was angry at her own delay in agreeing. She kept nodding her head, but then stammered, "But, if old master asks …"

Tang Sisi thought of her father and felt a headache coming on. She sighed heavily and thought for a moment before replying, "If Master asks, you can just say so and I'll go see young master Dong!"

At most, he would be able to keep her grounded for a few days!

"Yes sir!" Xiang'er responded. After a moment of silence, she raised her head again and said, "Miss, do you trust those two women that much? What if they spread it around and ruin your reputation? "

Xiang'er had seen many evil people in the manor, so she didn't dare to trust others. Even though Wenxiu had repeatedly promised that she wouldn't reveal what had happened today, Tang Sisi still didn't believe her.

Tang Sisi didn't reply and slowly closed her eyes. What was to come would eventually come, and even if they kept their word, what about the two who had robbed them? Will they disappear? There was definitely something behind this that she did not know about.

After the two of them parted ways with Tang Sisi and her servant, they walked two miles in a single breath before sitting down in the shade of a tree. Although the sun was not scorching hot, the temperature was still very high. In addition to their stomachs, which were wreaking havoc everywhere, the two of them could no longer walk and needed to rest.

Song Xiaoyue had originally wanted to buy two steamed buns to eat on the way, but she had been delayed by Tang Sisi. In the end, she had forgotten everything. At this moment, he was extremely hungry and felt extremely uncomfortable. He cried out twice and said with a sigh, "With our current speed, I'm afraid we won't be able to make it home for lunch. I'm so hungry."

Wenxiu was hungry as well, but in her previous life, she had undergone training that was more difficult than being hungry. Wenxiu was hungry as well, but in her previous life, she had undergone training that was more difficult than being hungry. She let out a long sigh and teased, "What can we do? Who knows what kind of tricks will appear in the middle of it?" As she spoke, she took out the purse that Tang Sisi had given her.

"Wow, that many?" Song Xiaoyue was very excited when she saw Wen Xiu pour out the silver from her purse. She quickly looked around and asked, "Which family's miss is this? She's so generous?" This is the first time I've seen so much silver! "

Wenxiu didn't know about Tang Sisi's background either. Looking at the silver blotches in her hands, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "A lot?" She only knew of copper coins, and she had learned it from television. As for how to distinguish between the silver and the silver, she did not know. Judging from Song Xiaoyue's expression, the amount of silver should not be small.

Song Xiaoyue kept her eyes on her hand and nodded. "Count them yourself." But can you count? "

Can't she count? What a joke!

This was simply insulting her character!

Wenxiu counted the silver lumps in her hands out loud in front of Song Xiaoyue. There were a total of ten silver lumps. If he could get one silver tael for one silver tael, it would be a full ten silver taels.

What's the purchasing power of ten taels of silver? A young and strong buffalo was only worth seven to eight liang of silver. The silver in her hand was enough to buy a buffalo. Not only that, the villagers of Xitang Village only earned three to four taels of silver each year. Ten taels of silver would be enough for the villagers to struggle for three years.

Tang Sisi was so generous!

However, compared to her chastity, 10 taels of silver was insignificant. But no matter what, since Tang Sisi had this kind of heart, she accepted it. Naturally, she had to keep this a secret for others.

Wenxiu handed half of the silver to Song Xiaoyue and said with a serious expression, "Mistress Yue, we will share in today's matters. We will split the silver with each other." However, you must not speak of this to a third person, even if it's your Yanqing, you must not speak of it, do you understand? "

"But I …"

"Since we accepted the money, we have to keep our promise."

"You know me …" Song Xiaoyue was a bit conflicted. She swallowed her words and finally nodded, "I understand." "But I can't take the silver, it's all your credit."

Wen Xiu shook her head. She put away the silver taels that belonged to her and smiled. "If it weren't for the fact that my life is difficult, I wouldn't accept these silver taels. As the saying goes, a penny makes a hero. I don't think for myself, I think for my child. "Alright, hurry up and collect all the silver coins. You can't ask for more if you want more money on the road."

Song Xiaoyue still felt conflicted. She still wanted to give the silver to Wen Xiu, but Wen Xiu refused. In the end, she had no choice but to accept the silver, "Mistress Yue, I've taken advantage of you again."

"What are you saying? Didn't you and Yan Qing take care of the three of us?" "Let's go back first!"

"En!"

The two of them got up after splitting the money and headed home. By the time the two of them reached the village entrance, it was already the right time to do so.

Wenxiu and Song Xiaoyue split up and jogged home. From afar, they saw Tree and Tong Tong sitting on the doorstep of the courtyard, looking pitifully in the direction of her home. When the two kids saw that Wen Xiu had returned, they smiled and ran towards her happily while shouting "mother!".

Mrs Fang heard the sound and ran out of the kitchen. When she saw Wen Xiu come back, she said unhappily, "It's really hard to serve these two children of yours. They don't eat lunch even if they don't want to. "Alright, alright, let's hurry back and eat. The potatoes are going to be placed on the stove."

As Wenxiu gently rubbed the child's head, she thanked Lady Fang.

Lady Fang coldly snorted and walked over to the round signboard with a twitch of her mouth. She then grabbed a handful of red dates and put them into her bosom before leaving in satisfaction.

Wenxiu did not mind and led the two children into the kitchen.
