The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

He reached out and unbolted the door, and sure enough, he saw Tang Zhongbai and his two servants, all wet, standing in front of the door.

When Tang Si saw that it was her who opened the door, he opened his mouth wide and asked in confusion: "Miss Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Muxia didn't reply to him, but shouted at the top of her voice: "Go into the house and change your wet clothes."

She retreated back to the study, her heart at ease, and she sat down in front of the couch, waiting for Tang Zhongbai.

She was curious and had many questions to ask him in person.

Her body and mind relaxed, and she felt a little drowsy. She propped her head up with her hands and dozed off against the table.

In a daze, she heard a sigh, and then her body fell into a broad embrace.

She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but the refreshing smell in the embrace made her feel at ease. She rubbed herself unconsciously in the arms and felt safe and comfortable.

A gentle voice called her in her ear, "Muxia, Muxia, wake up. If you don't wake up, I'm going to kiss you!"

Jiang Muxia subconsciously replied with one word, "Yeah."

Tang Zhongbai smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed again, this silly girl.

What she didn't know was that Tang Zhongbai's eyes were filled with sadness as he stared at her. What she didn't know even more was that Tang Zhongbai hated himself for not being able to protect her. The guilt in his heart was like a surging river that was out of control, and he even thought of letting her go.

This was the girl he fell in love with at first sight, and he had gone to great lengths to win her heart. Now letting her go made him feel heartbroken.

Tang Zhongbai put her on the couch, took a blanket and covered her, sat beside her and looked at her peaceful face quietly. Listening to her gentle breathing, he felt his heart was warm for her. He reached out and stroked her cheek, feeling a hint of warmth on his fingertips.

Such a wonderful person had to sacrifice herself for her own ideals, and he was not fair to her.

At this moment, another gust of wind blew, and the windows that should have been locked were blown open somehow.

Strong winds blew rain into the room, and Jiang Muxia, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by the cold raindrops hitting her cheek. She shivered all over and sneezed, waking up completely.

When she opened her eyes, she saw Tang Zhongbai bending over to close the window. The wooden latch under the window seemed to be broken, and after trying for a long time, he still couldn't close the window tightly.

She propped herself up and sat up, rubbing her eyes.

She had never seen Tang Zhongbai so flustered. She got off the bed, walked to the compartment, came back after a while, and handed him a hammer.

"Use this."

Tang Zhongbai took it without looking back, and after two or three "ding ding dang dang" sounds, it was done.

Jiang Muxia looked at him with an uneasy look and wanted to get angry, but then she thought about how he was busy until midnight and didn't know if he had eaten dinner by then.

I couldn't bear to get angry at him at this time, so I suppressed my anger and said in a gentle voice: "Have you eaten?"

Tang Zhongbai lowered his head, closed his eyes, and replied in a muffled voice, "I ate it."

As if against him, his stomach protested promptly.

He blushed a little embarrassedly, "It's too late, I'll take you home."

As he said this, he walked to the front and pretended to take her home.

Jiang Muxia was amused by his behavior and laughed softly behind him, but she did not move.

Tang Zhongbai turned around to look at her in confusion, but when he turned around he met her smiling eyes.

Jiang Muxia took his hand and said with a smile: "Come with me."

Tang Zhongbai didn't think about anything else. He took her hand and followed her out of the house obediently.

After leaving the house, he realized that Jiang Muxia had taken him to the kitchen.

"You've been busy all day and I'm afraid you haven't had a meal. I'll make you a bowl of noodles. It'll be quick." She rolled up her skirt and started working.

He kneaded the dough, cut the meat and vegetables, and told Tang Zhongbai to light the fire.

After the noodles were ready, while they were eating, she told him everything she had heard in the backyard of the county government office.

Tang Zhongbai was silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. I have made a plan. You stay home and don't get involved in this matter."

"It's not that I don't want to get involved, they have set their sights on me, am I just going to sit there and wait for them to cause trouble for me?"

Tang Zhongbai put down his chopsticks and solemnly told her, "Don't worry, Brother Xu and I have already made arrangements. None of the 19 disciples will leave the palace. When the time comes, we will burn them. Brother Xu said that as long as the host with the Gu is burned, the bugs will not come out and infect others. Their plan will naturally fail, and you will not be involved."

"Yes. But these people have vicious minds. I'm afraid they have other tricks up their sleeves and may catch us by surprise. We won't be able to resist." Jiang Muxia picked up the bowl in front of him, filled it up, and placed it in front of him.

Tang Zhongbai did not move, but took her hand with mixed feelings. Jiang Muxia felt his hand was icy cold and felt heartbroken.

He was only 18 years old, but he was already tasked with finding the traitors. The people around him who he should have trusted turned out to be traitors and troublemakers. The only people who helped him were a group of merchants he had just met. You can imagine how much pressure he was under.

Tang Zhongbai's voice was low and slightly hoarse, "I don't care if they have any tricks up their sleeves, as long as I can get you out of here, I can do my job without any hindrance. Mu Xia, do you understand my heart?"

Jiang Muxia wrapped his hand in her own, warmed him with her own temperature, looked into his eyes, and said firmly: "Of course."

Tang Zhongbai pulled his hand back, picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth. After swallowing a mouthful of noodles, he asked her seriously, "Tell me, why are you not at home in the middle of the night and running to the backyard of the county government office?"

Jiang Muxia was a little stunned when she heard him change the subject so quickly. She blurted out "assassination..." As soon as she said the word, she covered her mouth and quickly changed her words, "No, I saw that you didn't come home until very late, so I went to the government office to look for you. The government office was closed, and I thought you were discussing something with Feng Nian in the backyard, so I..."

Tang Zhongbai slammed the table and said angrily, "Nonsense, he is still a local official. If he really dies in your hands, what do you want me to do?"

Jiang Muxia shrank her neck and said nonsensely, "I didn't do anything. I know my limits."

"Your sense of propriety is to risk your life to help me?" Tang Zhongbai's voice softened, "It will only make me feel more guilty towards you. It's my incompetence that I can't protect the one I love."

"What nonsense are you talking about. It is called a unity between husband and wife that can cut through metal. Do you want us to run away when disaster strikes?" Jiang Muxia said dissatisfiedly.

Tang Zhongbai didn't say anything. He just stared at her, not knowing what to do with her.

He thought about persuading Feng Nian to change his mind by using reason and emotion.

However, Feng Nian was too deeply involved and everything became impossible.

"Go back, I'll take you there."
