Far away at the inn, Xiao Mo sneezed. He thought to himself: Could it be that someone is scolding him?

Mu Xiangsi, who was focusing all his attention on eating, suddenly jumped in fright, raised his head and glared at him, before swallowing the food in his mouth, "Xiao Mo, how long are you planning to stay here? Don't you have a big courtyard? Go back. "

Every day, the moment she opened her eyes, she would see Xiao Mo swaying in front of her and all she could hear was his voice. She had a feeling that she was being watched.

Xiao Mo frowned, "Your injuries have not healed yet."

He just wanted to take good care of her, so why didn't this woman understand what he was thinking?

"I'm fine, if you really want to stay here …" That works too! Give me the money! You owe me so much money, shouldn't you pay me back a little now? "If I remember correctly, yesterday is the day to return the money. Bring out the money."

She brushed the crumbs from her hands and reached for him.

Don't think that you can avoid paying your debts just because you play some kind of emotional card.

Xiao Mo was a little speechless, he lowered his head and took off the lotus bag on his waist and placed it in her hands.

When the two of them get married, everything from Xiao Kingdom would belong to her, so she could do whatever she wanted with it.

She did not expect that the debt would be asked for so smoothly. She was not used to it either. She took her hand back and opened her purse. There was only a piece of jade in it.

"Only one."

She took it out and examined it closely. It turned out to be a good item, but it was still too little.

She raised her eyes to look at the man and saw that he had an expression that made even her goosebumps drop. She lowered her head to swallow her saliva, then put the jade back into her purse and put it aside.

"Big Brother Xiao, can we discuss something?"

She forced a laugh as she stared at the teacup in front of Xiao Mo, not daring to look at his "weird" gaze.

Those eyes were really too frightening. It would be better to glare at her and let her feel satisfied!

"Speak."

He didn't know what this woman was up to, but it was definitely not a good thing.

She laughed and said, "Can you not look at me like that? You look at me like that all day, I really think you're out of your mind. Your brain is not good to begin with, but what if you become stupid, what about your Xiao Kingdom? "

Xiao Mo's face darkened, he almost spat out blood: Mu Xiangsi, are you a woman?

He had never seen such a slow and serious person!

Could she not feel the depth in his eyes?

"I'm not a woman, are you?"

Mu Xiangsi puffed his chest up, rolled his eyes, picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, looking at Xiao Mo as if he was looking at a fool.

It looked like his brain was broken. Could it be that he was going to make her pay?

With this thought in mind, she immediately tensed up, and looked at him with a little more caution. She silently reached out to grab the purse on her side, and tightly held the pouch on her waist with her other hand.

Xiao Mo would never be able to get a single cent from her!

It wasn't her responsibility to break her head. No one could lie to her!

"You … "Fine, you are a woman."

Seeing that her expression changed really quickly and that the expression in her eyes was strange, Xiao Mo thought back to what he had said and didn't find anything amiss.

Did that question hurt her?

"I, I'm not saying that you're not a woman."

He braced himself and explained as he observed Mu Xiangsi's expression. Seeing that she was still not relaxed, he added, "Why don't I give you a present?"

"A gift? What gift? Gold? Gem? Jade? "Ancient painting?"

Hearing this, Mu Xiangsi's eyes seemed to shine with a gold light, he looked at him with anticipation, his mind had already thought of countless good things, and there was even the image of him sitting on the golden mountain and counting money.

"Follow me back to the courtyard, I'll show you."

Xiao Mo sighed, it seemed that only valuable things could make this lady happy.

Mu Xiangsi's mind was filled with thoughts of money, let alone going back to the courtyard, he could even go up the mountain and cook for them.

Lin City.

Once he got off the carriage, Mu Xiangsi saw the wind, which he hadn't seen for a long time, come out from the courtyard.

In the short span of a few days, he had lost a lot of weight, but his spirit was still quite good.

"Mistress, Princess, you two have returned."

Jifeng's body had just recovered, and hearing that Xiao Mo and Mu Xiangsi were alright, his tense heart finally relaxed.

"Hmm, how have you been these past few days?"

Xiao Mo knew that Gale had been severely injured, and now that he was standing right in front of him, he could be considered lucky.

He reached out and patted Gale on the shoulder, comforting him.

Gale looked at Xiao Mo in shock, feeling extremely flattered.

In the past, Master never cared about the life or death of others. Even for him who accompanied Master in life or death, Master never asked about his injuries.

He looked at Mu Xiangsi gratefully and thought to himself: Princess Xiangsi is too awesome. To be able to see his master like this in his lifetime, he really has no regrets even in death.

On the other hand, Mu Xiangsi was a little scared by his gaze. Gale's brain must be injured too, or else he must have been infected by Xiao Mo.

"Mistress, everything is fine here. It is because of Gale's incompetence that has put Master and the Princess in danger. Please punish them."

Even if his master didn't blame him, he still felt that he had failed in his duty.

Master and Princess had gone missing. He was so useless, he couldn't get out of bed even after getting injured. He could only wait for news.

"No worries, you can leave."

Xiao Mo waved his hand. Originally, Gale had gone to protect Shen Zhu, because of his orders. Furthermore, there were too many assassins, even if Gale had three heads and six arms, it would still be difficult to take care of the two of them.

If he were to blame Gale, wouldn't that be too disrespectful?

"Yes." Jifeng lowered his head and responded, then quickly retreated.

"Even Gale has left, where's my present?"

Mu Xiangsi looked around, he could not wait to receive this "gift".

"Follow me." Xiao Mo strode forward and entered the study room.

Mu Xiangsi followed behind him, looking forward to see what the gift was, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became.

Within the study.

Xiao Mo walked to the cabinet and took out a box from the third drawer. He placed it on the table and indicated for Mu Xiangsi to open it.

"How secretive, you don't have a hand?"

Although she said so, she still reached out to open the box. "This …" How much is this worth?

Inside the box was a hairpin, and on top of it was a lifelike phoenix, pure gold, with a tail full of gems, flashing with brilliant light, and exquisite workmanship.

Based on Mu Xiangsi's experience of travelling to the north and exploring the north, as well as his experience with treasures, he knew that this hairpin was definitely priceless.

She carefully removed the hairpin from the box, afraid that she would accidentally break it.

This man clearly had a lot of treasures, but he still continued to pretend to be poor in front of her. This was too much!

Xiao Mo, you are not a kind person. If you have something good, hurry up and take it out. "How about this, I am a bit more generous than you. Although this is a gift from you, I will use it to repay a portion of your debt. No need to thank me."

Her eyes were fixed on the hairpin in her hand, and she wondered how much of this would be offset.

After a sky-high battle, she decided to cancel out a quarter of it.

Seeing that she liked it so much, Xiao Mo smiled, "You accepted it?"

He asked with a strange expression, his voice trembling slightly.
