"We're here." Jiang Muxia parked the carriage in front of the Tang family's door.

"Miss Jiang, please come over to my house and have a seat. The light is on in the young master's study. He's been very annoyed by the official duties in the yamen these days. You can go and persuade him." Tang San very rarely brought the two of them together.

She had indeed not seen him for many days and was still thinking about him, so she responded and got out of the car.

Feng Nian left him a mess, and he had to start over almost all the affairs of the yamen.

Except for Li Changli and Zhou Shen, the rest of the people who are useful in the county government are clueless and unusable.

After Jiang Muxia knocked on the door, she pushed it open and walked in without waiting for his response. Tang Zhongbai was holding his forehead and thinking hard about who would be in charge of the management of each department.

"Tang San, Tang Si, and Hu Daxin have been following you for so long. It's time for them to take charge. You can assign them appropriate positions based on their different personalities."

"I mentioned that they just wanted to follow me and didn't want to be officials."

"Are you the county magistrate or are they? If you can't handle the three of them, how can you convince others to trust you?"

Tang Zhongbai stood up from his desk, came to her side, pinched her face, and said with a smile: "You are right, my Pingle Xiangjun. Are you done with your work? You are in the village every day, and I can't see you. Don't you miss me?"

Tang Zhongbai changed his serious and solemn look, sat down next to her, and spoke teasingly, making her roll her eyes in her heart.

Why are all men so - thick-skinned.

She moved aside and said unhappily, "Don't make trouble in the middle of the night. Just sit still."

It would have been better if she hadn't said it, but this remark aroused Tang Zhongbai's rebellious heart.

He hugged her and held her on his lap, and they looked into each other's eyes. Jiang Muxia felt embarrassed and annoyed, and struggled to break free from his arms.

Tang Zhongbai hugged her tighter, and his voice in her ear was a little hoarse.

"Be good, don't move. You came to my house in the middle of the night, did you do this on purpose?"

"Do you think I am willing to come? It was your loyal little guard who begged me to come and see you, otherwise... humph."

Tang Zhongbai hugged her tighter, as if afraid that she would run away.

He put his face close to her chin and said softly, "When you are done with your work, let's get married. I can't wait any longer. Your brother-in-law has decided to get married. We got engaged earlier than him, so shouldn't we get married before him?"

The message Tang Zhongbai conveyed surprised her. Why did he change his attitude after his trip to the capital?

No, who is he going to start a family with, who is he going to marry?

She pushed him away and asked, "Who did he tell you he was going to marry?"

How come she didn't know anything about it? If Haitang knew, wouldn't she be upset? But she was in the restaurant every day, so it was impossible for her not to know that Xu Da was getting married. Why didn't he come to her to cry and complain?

Could it be that she is the one who married Xu Da?

"Is Haitang?" Jiang Muxia was so shocked that her mouth opened wide, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"What? You don't agree." Tang Zhongbai's face fell. He knew that Xu Da had fallen in love with her, and now he was willing to marry Yin Haitang, which made him relieved.

"No. I know that the person he liked before was Feng Siqing. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

Tang Zhongbai's eyes were dark and he thought to himself, this silly girl is really naive.

She lay in bed for a long time unable to fall asleep. Both of them were the most important people to her. Her only worry was that Xu Da would let Haitang down.

With Yin Haitang's personality, she would definitely not be able to accept it, and the consequences were beyond her imagination.

She really wanted to rush to the pub and ask him what he was thinking and what had happened to make him make such a hasty decision.

She got up early, dyed the cloth, and went to the restaurant to find Yin Haitang.

She had just washed her hands and was about to go out when Daqi came running over in a hurry, gasping for breath.

"Hurry up and sit down and calm down." She helped him calm down while pouring him a cup of tea and holding the cup to his mouth. Da Qi took a sip from her hand and finally calmed down.

"Hu Zi is sick. His whole body is hot and he is shivering. We...many of our companions died of this disease. Miss Jiang, I came to you because I had no other choice. You must save him." Da Qi pleaded. He was afraid that after such a big conflict yesterday, she would ignore them.

Suddenly remembering that she had been hit hard by Hu Zi, she hurriedly asked, "How is your injury?"

"I'm fine. Wait a moment, I'll invite my godfather."

Da Qi's face lit up with joy. The people of Suanzao County all knew that the miracle doctor who cured the people suffering from the plague with just one dose of medicine was the adoptive father of Pingle Xiangjun.

Da Qi knew that as long as he took action, Hu Zi would be safe.

Chu Ruo hurriedly followed Da Qi.

With her adoptive father around, she felt much more at ease. She rushed to the restaurant without stopping, but was told that Yin Haitang had gone home yesterday evening.

The two missed each other on the road, and she immediately ran to the second floor of the tavern to find Xu Da.

The door to the second floor was wide open. He was explaining pharmacology to Xiao Suanzao. When he saw her coming, he pointed to a stool and asked her to wait.

She waited for him to finish speaking with great difficulty, and sent Xiao Suanzao away, "Sister has something important to tell your master, can you go down and play with Brother Yangyang for a while?"

After the people walked away, she asked bluntly, "I heard that you are going to marry Haitang, is that true?"

"Yes."

"Why? Do you like her? If not, please don't hurt her. She deserves a loyal man to protect her for life, not to sympathize with her."

Xu Da was very honest and spoke his mind directly. "I have discussed this with Brother Yin and also made it clear to Haitang. Now I just have a crush on her, but after we get married, I will put all my thoughts into my family and will never let her down in this life. Do you understand what I mean?"

The current Xu Da makes her feel a little strange. He used to be meticulous and never compromised. What happened to him now?

Xu Da sighed and said seriously, "I am already 25 years old. My master plans to settle down here. I think it is time for us to start a family. Let him enjoy the happiness of family life. He has had a very hard life."

With Xu Da's assurance, she believed that he was a man of his word and his integrity, and she felt relieved.

"Okay... I respect your choice."

Jiang Muxia went downstairs, and Yin Haitang's wish came true. His sworn brother was an upright man, and the two of them were a match made in heaven.

What else does she have to worry about?

Xu Da opened the window and stared at her figure walking away.

He could not help but feel bitter. The window slowly closed, and no one would ever know that since he discovered that his master had gone from one extreme to another, Chu Ruo's mental state had become worse than before.

The master was punishing himself in another way. He treated his stepsister as his junior sister day by day. When his paranoid mind completely took over him, his stepsister's relatives were in danger.

Therefore, he had no choice but to get married as soon as possible and have a child, trying to divert the master's attention and persuade him to follow him back to Wuquan Villa.

Maybe this is the only way to help her.
