After time travel, he devoted himself to helping his father with his career.

Mrs. Yan raised her hand and gently touched Mingjia's head, and said comfortingly.

"Our lady's business will not only make a profit for itself, but also provide local people with a livelihood industry for generations!"

"To be honest, our Miss Mingjia is many times better than the Xie family girl!"

Ming Jia was originally very moved, but when she suddenly heard Mrs. Yan comparing her to Xie Zhiqiu, she was so frightened that she immediately shook her head.

"I just want to make money myself, I haven't thought about anything else!"

Mrs. Yan has been with Mingjia for many years, so she naturally understands Mingjia's resistance to the Xie family. Mrs. Yan smiled and did not continue the topic.

Mingjia accepted the birthday gift and returned to the wing room of the main courtyard to rest with Mrs. Yan.

Xiao Qingshan didn't stay in Meng Tongpan's house for long. He came back after asking about some things about the third elder of the Baiyi tribe.

"Jiajia, this third elder is really a scoundrel! His family is a very influential family within the Baiyi tribe!..."

Xiao Qingshan told Mingjia one by one what he had found out. What troubled Mingjia the most was the reason why the third elder wanted to kidnap Yanniang.

"Seeing her beauty, do you want to marry her?"

Ming Jia felt itching with hatred. How could this old bastard have the nerve to say it?

All of Mingjia's recent worries and troubles suddenly seemed to have a point to vent.

"Dad, you can go to Dianmao tomorrow and help me have a word with Yang Zhizhou!"

"what do you want to say?"

"Although I came here to celebrate my birthday, as long as it's not the Chinese New Year, I'm still ten years old. I can barely be considered a child."

"Just say...that I am a child and act recklessly to protect my own shortcomings! I can easily get into trouble, and you, a fellow state magistrate, may not be able to handle it!"

Xiao Qingshan... I still dislike your father because I am incompetent!

After Yang Tingxuan sent Xiao Qingshan away, he sat down again to correct official documents. He planned to finish his work and rest early.

When Yang Tingxuan thought that he could rest for more than ten days, he couldn't help but hum a little tune while correcting the official documents.

Suddenly, Yang Tingxuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly his music stopped and his writing paused.

"Xiaguan's second son has always been a bit naughty, and he is also an extremely protective child."

"No, yesterday you asked me if I was still ten years old if I hadn't celebrated the Chinese New Year!"

"This kid is always bold and bold! I'm really worried that he's young and has no sense of propriety, causing trouble that won't end well!"

Originally, Yang Tingxuan thought that Xiao Qingshan came to apologize for his son for the six dead bodies found in the mountain. Thinking that those people were worthy of death, he even comforted Xiao Qingshan.

At this moment, Yang Tingxuan carefully recalled what Xiao Qingshan said just now, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong!

"Is this threatening me? If we can't handle this matter before the Chinese New Year, this brat plans to do it himself?"

"Ha! What an arrogant boy!"

Yang Tingxuan looked at the official document that was stained by ink drops, and threw the brush aside angrily.

The more Yang Tingxuan thought about it, the angrier he became. At the same time, he couldn't help but think about what Xiao Mingjia wanted to do?

"Somebody come!"

"Go to Xiao's house and ask if his second young master is there. Just say that I want to invite him to tea!"

After Yang Tingxuan thought for a while, he decided to ask Xiao Mingjia directly.

"Hmph! So what if your master is Xie Boyuan? Dianzhou is my territory now!"

After Ming Jia finished chatting with his father yesterday, he sent someone to the house in the back alley to deliver a message. This third elder must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Today, Ming Jia was sitting in the study early in the morning waiting for Yang Tingxuan's people to arrive.

"Master, how are you sure that Yang Zhizhou will send someone to invite you over?"

Shuang'er stood at the door of the study, looked out, and turned back to ask Mingjia puzzledly.

Mingjia looked down at the book in her hand and answered Shuang'er without raising her head.

"My guess is that Mr. Yang wouldn't take the threat of a child to heart at first! But as a child, I am a first-class in causing trouble!"

Mingjia suddenly laughed.

"So! I guess he probably wants to call me over to warn me not to cause trouble!"

"Excuse me, can the second young master of the Xiao family be in the study? My master would like to invite the second young master to tea!"

As soon as Ming Jia finished speaking, the Yang family's young boy's voice came from outside the study door.

Hearing this, Mingjia raised his head and smiled proudly at Shuang'er.

"I got it right!"

"I'll go by myself! Shuang'er, you keep the study. Don't tell my mother about this!"

Mingjia jumped off the chair, straightened her robe, and told Shuang'er.

In the front yard, Yang Tingxuan's study.

Yang Tingxuan looked coldly at the little boy opposite who was drinking tea seriously. He now regretted his decision to call the person directly for questioning.

Now that I am very passive, I really can't do anything to this brat.

"Do you usually get along with your master like this?"

Yang Tingxuan asked Xiang Mingjia coldly, now he had to stir up the topic even if he didn't want to.

Mingjia looked up from the tea bowl and smiled sweetly.

"Uncle Yang, my master doesn't like drinking tea and chatting with me. He said he doesn't want to be pissed off by me!"

Yang Tingxuan...

"Uncle Yang, I have lived in the back house most of the time since I arrived in Dianzhou. I have neither been that dandy young man riding horses in the streets, nor have I been that coquettish scholar in a teahouse or bookstore. I have always been very well-behaved!"

Yang Tingxuan took a deep breath, but without suppressing the anger in his heart, he blurted out his refutation of Ming Jia's words.

"Don't you want to? Don't look at how old you are!"

Ming Jia looked at Yang Tingxuan with wide eyes and asked with some uncertainty: "Uncle Yang, did you accidentally say what was in your heart?"

Yang Tingxuan was suddenly stunned by Ming Jia's question. Yang Tingxuan felt that he had a breath, which was stuck between his chest and throat.

After a while, Yang Tingxuan regained his train of thought.

"I don't care what you want to do, just stop it!"

"Don't scare me with your master! I am willing to give your master face and take care of your father, but that doesn't mean you can be so presumptuous as a child!"

Mingjia looked at Yang Tingxuan's suddenly cold face and knew it was time to talk about business. Mingjia put down the tea cup and sat up straight.

"I just want the third elder to shut up and stop ruining the reputation of Lady Yan and Miss Qumu! I have no intention of sabotaging your control of the tribe!"

When Yang Tingxuan saw that Ming Jia was talking seriously with him, he sat up straight and listened to what Ming Jia said.

"I keep that old man useful, he can't die now!"

Speaking of this, Yang Tingxuan remembered the lies the third elder had said to him before.

"However, when he is no longer useful, I can leave him to you!"

Hearing this, Ming Jia raised his eyebrows: "There's something going on!"

"Uncle Yang, I don't want him to die. If he dies, wouldn't the rumors outside become true!"

Yang Tingxuan's brows that had just relaxed immediately wrinkled again.

"Boy, don't push yourself too far!..."

Seeing that Yang Tingxuan's tone had deteriorated again, Ming Jia quickly waved her hand to interrupt what Yang Tingxuan was about to say.

"I promise to only ruin the reputation of the third elder and never affect your plans!"
