"You can't say it, you can't say it." The old man smiled and waved them off. "Come on, come on, don't linger around in front of me." Zhang Cui Lan said. "This old man's cultivation is very high, since he said it like that, then it's pretty close."

Zhang Cui Lan's breathing quickened, and although the youth in front of him was handsome and extraordinary, she no longer felt anything towards him. Marrying him would allow her to live a good life without worrying about food and clothing, but she yearned for a better life, a better wealth.

It was obvious that the admiration in the young girl's eyes had completely disappeared, and her greed had completely disappeared. Xi Jiu Er laughed in her heart, she wanted this kind of effect, and pretended to speak: "A while ago I heard that father said he would find the Prime Minister's son as a guest, could it be that the wealth he is talking about is this?"

The young master of the Wind Nation's prime minister, Zhang Cui Lan, knew a bit, but couldn't learn anything about it. She had two sons, the eldest son was a graceful and learned man, and the second son inherited his father's lust. She was a wanderer, and her evaluation of him was far inferior to that of the eldest son.

Zhang Cui Lan's status was very low, so she could barely qualify to be a little Madame. She bit her lips and looked at Xi Jiu Er, not daring to reveal anything, after all, she had said that she liked him, and then thought of going with the Prime Minister, afraid that he would dislike her even more. He decided to hold back, lest he lose to the Madame and lose to them.

How could Xi Jiu Er not see her confusion? Apologizing, she said: "Miss Zhang, I messed up you, and since you are rich, it is probably because the heavens have unwittingly arranged for us to meet. I will help you, count it as my compensation."

Zhang Cui Lan was ecstatic, she bit her lips and looked at Xi Jiu Er, if she was a man, she would have already been moved, it was a pity that Xi Jiu Er was a woman. She softly revealed a rare gentleness as she said, "You've found a good home and I'm happy."

Zhang Cui Lan said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you little Young Master, I will definitely remember your kindness in my heart."

"I've always treated you as my little sister. From now on, we're family." Xi Jiu Er revealed the smile of a big brother, while Zhang Cui Lan bashfully smiled.

It was done.

After returning to his residence, Xi Jiu Er was immediately mentioned by the Madame Song. A person that Xi Jiu Er absolutely did not want to meet: Prince Xian, Mu Qiu Shui.

"This Prince Xian was originally a Windy King. I don't know how he became like that and wanted to go to war. I don't know what he is thinking." Madame Song sighed, "Just like you were back then."

Xi Jiu Er forced a smile, and a strange feeling surfaced in her heart. Prince Xian had saved him many times without sparing her life, how did he get to fight this time? Seeing that her son's expression was not good, the Madame Song secretly thought that she was confused, and quickly changed the topic: "What are you thinking, what are you doing with the Miss Zhang today?"

"mother, why not take her as your adopted daughter?" Xi Jiu Er did not want to continue guessing at Prince Xian's intentions, so she smiled and said so.

Madame Song was startled, her expression lightened: "I'm afraid she doesn't want to."

"mother will definitely be willing to bring this up." If she became the adopted daughter of General Song, her status would be much higher and she would have face in the future. Plus, the Song Family was equivalent to her family and had a backing, so she would never agree unless she was an idiot.

The Madame Song did not understand, and nodded without thinking too much, "That would be for the best." But she was still unwilling in her heart, she did not want this kind of daughter, because since she had become Zhang Cui Lan's adopted daughter, then Zhang Cui Lan's actions and words in the future would have a huge relationship with the Song Family.

Xi Jiu Er returned to the courtyard, and saw that her expression did not look good, so she waited on her without saying a word. stone mother brought over the food box according to Madame Song's orders, and also told Xi Jiu Er to follow her out to take a walk tomorrow. Xi Jiu Er nodded, "I will have to trouble stone mother to tell him that I will be going with him tomorrow morning."

stone mother left with a smile. In any case, she didn't have any excuse to refuse.

Green Treading? The weather gradually turned cold. What could he step out of? The next day, Xi Jiu Er followed Madame Song out. Madame Song was extremely happy today, and he asked Xi Jiu Er if he agreed. Xi Jiu Er smiled lightly: "Perhaps she has seen the truth."

"That's right, she's not young anymore. We can't be so restrained." Madame Song laughed.

A cold wind blew outside, the carriage was especially warm, and after the carriage had walked for around an hour, it stopped. Xi Jiu Er got off the carriage and was dumbfounded, she stared at the signboard in shock: Fourth Marquis's Mansion?

She immediately lost all her vigor and asked dryly: "mother, what are you doing here?"

Madame Song asked back with a smile: "You, this child, truly are a friend of mine, the Fourth Concubine's mother. Today, she came to visit the Fourth Concubine, and invited me to come with her." After pausing for a moment, she saw that Xi Jiu Er did not seem to have recovered from her shock and asked curiously: "Tian'er, what's wrong?"

So there was such a relationship? Xi Jiu Er suddenly felt depressed, and took a step back and said: "mother, I, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do, I, I will be going now."

"Tian, what happened to you?" Madame Song looked at Xi Jiu Er who had a strange expression on her face. She didn't know how Xi Jiu Er, who was fine just a moment ago, could change her mind like this?

Xi Jiu Er took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Looking at the plaque above her head, Xiao Feng and Yan Er's faces kept on spinning in her mind.

"Tian …"

"It's fine, mother. I have a bit of a chance to leave first." Xi Jiu Er regained her composure: "I just remembered that this was something father had arranged for me. She said that it was an urgent matter and that I must take care of it as soon as possible."

Madame Song also knew that his own husband had a lot of things to do in the past few days. When she heard that the situation in the imperial court had changed, and that his son had not done anything of the sort, she was sure to have forgotten.

"Yes."

"Tian'er is gone, mother, be careful." Xi Jiu Er saluted and left in a hurry. Xi Jiu Er was not familiar with this unfamiliar environment, it did not seem bustling here, and there were very few people here. Somehow, before she could even cry out in alarm, her feet slipped and she fell into a huge pit the height of a person.

Xi Jiu Er raised her head to look at the sky. What should she do now? There were not many people here, so she had to think of a way to climb out …

"Ugh!" A man's voice came from the corner, causing Xi Jiu Er's hairs to immediately stand on end. His first thought was that there was actually someone here? What made her even more horrified was that her voice sounded just like a person's voice … She slowly turned her head and saw a Chinese-robed man sitting in a corner of the crater. The man's face was as beautiful as an immortal's.

Xi Jiu Er could not stay calm at first glance, who else could it be other than Feng Qing Cheng? The Xiao Feng who deceived her! He was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed and his cheeks flushed as if he were drunk. Xi Jiu Er did not want to get entangled with him too much, at least not now.

Xi Jiu Er had to crawl out before Yue Yang even opened his eyes. He looked like a frog on the wall when he tried to climb up the cliff.
