The villa is very ordinary, with a stone wall outside and a large yard of more than 200 to 300 square meters inside. There is a kitchen and dining room in the yard, and further inside is the lobby, and inside the lobby is the backyard for living.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, a thin old man with a goatee and wearing a black brocade robe with a Chinese character pattern came up to him and bowed, "I am here to see the prince and princess."

Xiao Yu said calmly, "Butler Liu, please stand up. How is the farmhouse doing recently?"

Steward Liu replied respectfully, "Your Highness, Yan Qing sent me two thousand taels of silver a few days ago. We have already bought winter clothes for this winter. There is nothing major going on at the farm. The harvest is good this year, so we have enough food."

Xiao Yu nodded, "That's great. Where are Qian Biao and Ji Tangren?"

"Ji Tang is waiting in the hall, Qian Biao is here too." Butler Liu said as he led the way.

Led by Butler Liu, Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue came to the hall of the manor, with Caiyi and Yan Qing following behind.

As soon as she stepped in, Su Lingyue saw Ji Tang wearing a black coarse cloth coat, and Qian Biao, a middle-aged man with a big beard whom she had met before.

Ji Tang stood upright with his head down, seemingly thinking about something.

Qian Biao sat in the chair with his eyes closed.

Ji Tang also grew a beard, and he no longer used the rouge that he had used to cover the scar on his forehead.

There was an obvious scar on his forehead and a face full of blue stubble. If you were not familiar with him, you would definitely not recognize who he was.

"Are you getting used to it here?"

Hearing Xiao Yu's indifferent voice, Ji Tang turned his head and looked towards the door. Qian Biao, who was dozing off, also stood up suddenly.

"Your Majesty, Princess."

The two of them saluted respectfully.

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. It's great here. We don't have to sleep outdoors."

Ji Tang answered, inadvertently seeing behind Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, his eyes froze for a moment.

Su Lingyue turned her head and looked at the colorful clothes behind her.

Her pretty eyes were already filled with tears, and the corners of her mouth moved, but she didn't utter a word.

At this moment, she was trying her best to control her emotions and not let tears fall.

It seems that it is inappropriate to reminisce about the past now.

Su Lingyue turned sideways and said, "Caiyi, go to the kitchen and get a pot of hot tea."

Caiyi, who was staring at Ji Tang infatuatedly, heard Su Lingyue's words and responded quickly, somewhat reluctantly.

Seeing through Caiyi's thoughts, Su Lingyue chuckled, "Jitang, you are familiar with this place, show her the way."

“…Yes, Master!”

Ji Tang was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He nodded quickly and the corners of his mouth gradually rose unconsciously.

"Miss Caiyi, come with me." Ji Tang walked to Caiyi's side, suppressed his emotions, and spoke softly.

Caiyi nodded and followed him out of the hall.

Watching the two of them leave, Su Lingyue felt happy from the bottom of her heart.

They have been separated for more than half a month. Su Lingyue fully understands how torturous it is for two people who like each other.

"Your Highness, if you talk to him right now, Ji Tang probably won't be in the mood to listen, so just let them talk!"

Su Lingyue looked at Xiao Yu and discussed with him in a coquettish tone.

"Okay." Xiao Yu responded with a gentle smile.

After the two of them sat down, Qian Biao and Yan Qing didn't hesitate and sat down opposite them.

After Xiao Yu sat down, he started chatting with Qian Biao, "Who does Ji Tang live with here?"

"I lived in the same room with Lin Chuan and Xiao Wu. Lin Chuan was very interested in Ji Tang's swordsmanship and always wanted to learn from him, so they finally moved in together. Xiao Wu was also old enough to learn swordsmanship, so we arranged for him to live with them."

"That's a good arrangement." Xiao Yu praised, and then said: "Don't let Ji Tang go out for a while. Let him go out to do things when the investigation is relaxed."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Remember to tell him the rules of the village. Once he is familiar with them, you can teach him some necessary concealment skills according to the situation."

"Yes."

Su Lingyue knew that she had no say in these matters, so she didn't say much and just sat quietly listening to their conversation.

They were talking about things that were not very important.

Usually, after Xiao Yu finished talking with Yan Qing and Yun Ting in the study, if there was something important, he would ask Yan Qing and Yun Ting to send a letter by carrier pigeon.

If she can listen to what we talked about today, it would be fine to just send a pigeon.

Su Lingyue felt warm in her heart.

Ever since Ji Tang risked his life to save Su Lingyue and was forced to go to Bicang Mountain, Su Lingyue has often talked about it.

The worry is beyond words.

He brought her and Caiyi here today, most likely to reassure the master and servant.

Xiao Yu is really a very considerate, gentle and competent husband.

Thinking of this, he unconsciously turned his head to look at Xiao Yu beside him.

His facial features are three-dimensional and his face is clearly defined. When he speaks, his voice is calm but carries an inexplicable dignity. There is no exaggerated expression on his face. At most, he would just slightly curl his lips, revealing a sense of coldness.

She is really lucky to meet such a steady, gentle and responsible man.

However, if he could have less responsibility, he might have an easier life.

Thinking of this, Su Lingyue's eyes couldn't help but show a bit of heartache.

"He is good at swordsmanship. If he is willing to teach you, that would be a good thing."

While talking to Qian Biao, Xiao Yu inadvertently saw Su Lingyue frowning slightly.

Xiao Yu didn't understand what was going on. He reached out and held Su Lingyue's hand on her knee and continued talking to Qian Biao and the others.

Su Lingyue suddenly came back to her senses, suppressed her emotions, and smiled at Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked back at her, the corners of his lips raised slightly as he spoke.

Almost half an hour later, Caiyi shyly walked into the hall carrying a cup of hot tea.

Ji Tang, who was standing aside, had a wheat-colored face that turned dark red.

When Xiao Yu saw him coming, he said, "Sit down."

Ji Tang nodded and sat down next to Yan Qing.

After Caiyi served hot tea to Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue, she stood behind them and looked at Ji Tang.

Seeing that Ji Tang was no longer distracted, Su Lingyue also said what was in her heart, "Ji Tang, thank you for the matter at Longhua Temple. You saved me and the prince."

When Ji Tang heard Su Lingyue's words, he stood up and bowed, "This is what I should do. Master saved the lives of my family of three, and I should repay you with my life."

He is a person who knows how to be grateful.

At first, I just wanted him to work hard to treat his mother and brother, but I didn't expect that he would repay me by risking his life.

This kind of bond has surpassed the ordinary master and servant relationship.

He can't see anyone, so what Su Lingyue can do is to make sure he has no worries.

"I have already asked someone to help move your mother and brother to a more secluded place, and I have also sent them some money. They will have no problem living this winter, so you can rest assured and stay here!"

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Ji Tang bowed again.

Su Lingyue couldn't help but chuckle. He was still the same as before.

After talking for a while, it was almost dawn and they were ready to go home.

After Xiao Yu and Su Lingyue got on the carriage, Yan Qing and Ji Tang came out arm in arm, "Brother Ji, I'm still a little uncomfortable with you not being in the mansion. Take care of yourself, and we'll spar next time you come."

Ji Tang nodded, "Okay, you practice well, I'll feel bad if I always beat you."

Yan Qing paused and looked at Ji Tang dimly, "...did you do this on purpose?"

"not me……"

Before Ji Tang finished speaking, Yan Qing interrupted him, "Just wait! Next time we meet, I will impress you!"

Then he got on the carriage.

Caiyi and Ji Tang looked at each other, then turned around and got on the carriage.
