Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 310 Xie Mingan, can you speak?

Sister-in-law Liu was embarrassed to say it, covered her mouth, smiled and waved her hands repeatedly.

“It’s okay, Ning Ning, I’ll go back with my things, thank you.”

Seeing her running fast, the little guy turned to look at Grandma Qin and Chen Ye.

“Grandma, Brother Chen, do you also know what she said?”

Chen Ye answered honestly: "I haven't heard of the old village chief buying a woman back."

“Besides, the old village chief has a good character and will not do anything that violates the law.”

Grandma Qin also nodded: "I'm afraid it's just a matter of speculation. The daughter-in-law of the Liu family complained that she saw a woman at the village chief's house."

“If this kind of thing is misunderstood, it will harm Lao Deng’s family if it spreads, so Ning Ning, let’s leave it alone.”

Shen Ningning said obediently.

 When he was about to leave Xiangyun Village and send Aunt Yun and Uncle Zhong back to the shop.

 The little guy passed by the old village chief’s house.

But I saw that they had closed the door tightly.

Looking into the yard, there was a heavy felt curtain hanging behind the window, and nothing could be seen.

Shen Ningning scratched her face in confusion.

 …

On this day, Xie Mingan and his subordinates finished processing the files and rushed back to the capital from Gyeonggi.

While passing by a jewelry store, my subordinate suddenly said apologetically: "Sir Shaoqing, can you please go back to Dali Temple first?"

 “I want to buy something for my sister.”

Xie Mingan held the reins with a stern look on his face, a bit inhumane.

Before he could speak, a colleague on the side started to tease this subordinate.

“I have long heard that Mr. Lu loves his sister, and today I saw that it is indeed true.”

“It’s just that we can do this shopping after we leave office, so why do we have to rush now? We still have to follow Mr. Shaoqing back to Dali Temple to discuss matters.”

The subordinate named Lu looked embarrassed and hesitant.

 He repeatedly surrendered his hand and apologized to Xie Mingan.

“Because I offended my sister last time, she ignored me for several days.”

"It is said that an angry woman must buy some good things to comfort her, but every time she leaves the Dali Temple, these shops are closed after the age of Xu."

 “So...that’s why I have this unkind invitation.”

 Xie Mingan is strict with himself and even more strict with his subordinates.

 Ever since he came to Dali Temple to take up the post, he has put business matters first.

I often stay away from home all day long, spending all my time processing files and interrogating criminals.

 It’s a shame for these subordinates.

Xie Mingan's cold eyes were calm, and after a moment, he said: "You brother and sister have a good relationship, okay, let's go and see it together."

He got off his horse and walked into the jewelry store under the secretly surprised eyes of the other officials.

How can the inhumane Mr. Xie Shaoqing still have such a reasonable side?

Those officials thought that Mr. Lu would definitely be scolded.

Xie Mingan has never been to a store specializing in women's jewelry since she was a child.

His impression was that when he was a child, he personally cut a wooden hairpin for his mother Shen Yi.

 Later, the wooden hairpin accompanied my mother and was buried in the coffin.

 Xie Mingan walked to Mr. Lu's side.

I saw him pick up a bunch of colorful hairpins inlaid with various gemstones.

Xie Mingan frowned: "The colors are so tacky, why not choose a hosta?"

 He pointed to the stage on the other side.

On it are placed pure and elegant hostas of various colors without any extraneous decorations.

Mr. Lu smiled implicitly: "Sir, you handle cases like a god."

"But when it comes to buying hairpins, you don't want to go to the official. Your sister is eleven or twelve years old."

“She likes sparkling and multi-colored hairpin jewelry the most. Not only this, but also gemstones, pearls and jade. She likes them all.”

 Speaking, Mr. Lu handed the selected hairpin to the clerk in the store.

“I want this. Please help me get a brocade box to put it in.”

Xie Ming'an groaned and reached out, picking up a bunch of colorful butterfly hairpins.

The delicate butterfly is outlined with silver wire, and the dazzling lights on the butterfly wings are actually made up of countless tiny rubies stacked on top of each other.

 This requires excellent craftsmanship.

 Under the butterfly, there is a tassel-like brilliant orb.

 Turn it gently and you can hear a crisp sound.

In such a gloomy snowy day, it must be very eye-catching to have such a unique hairpin.

Mr. Lu saw Xie Mingan looking at the butterfly hairpin in trance.

He understood the idea and said to the waiter: "This hairpin is also wrapped for me. Let's settle the bill together."

 Xie Mingan came to his senses.

  “No need.”

“Master Shaoqing, please don’t be polite to me. Thank you for your advice when you return to Beijing this time.”

Mr. Lu raised his hands and smiled and said, "Besides, I heard that Princess Funing is now your adopted sister."

“I had to be reminded by the princess before to prepare cold-proof equipment, so that my family would not suffer from the cold.”

“Therefore, this hairpin should be regarded as a tribute from the lower official to the princess.”

 Xie Mingan refused with a cold face.

He said: "Shen Ningning is still young, so you don't have to do anything to please her so as not to spoil the child."

Mr. Lu's expression froze and he nodded awkwardly.

　　“That’s what you said.”

 Xie Mingan turned to hand the hairpin to the clerk in the store.

"How much silver is this? Wrap it up in a brocade box for me."

Mr. Lu looked at him in surprise.

 I thought Xie Mingan was not going to buy it.

　　for several days in a row.

 Xie Mingan didn't even wait for Shen Ningning.

 Finally, on the day Xie Suzhi returned from the palace, Shen Ningning also came to Xie's house to visit him.

 The little guy was in the study, chatting happily with Xie Suzhi.     Like a real father and daughter.

Xie Suzhi's fatigue from being busy with government affairs for the past few days was wiped away the moment he saw Shen Ningning.

 Shen Ningning just came out of the study.

 I met Xie Mingan walking towards me.

The little guy curled his lips silently, and she raised her little head, pretending not to see Xie Mingan, and passed him by.

“Wait a minute.” Xie Mingan called to her.

Shen Ningning looked back, her big eyes looking suspiciously.

"What's up?"

 Xie Mingan put his hands behind his hands, holding the brocade box tightly with his fingertips.

 The long palms were covered with fine threads of sweat.

 I don’t know why, but when facing Shen Ningning, he suddenly felt embarrassed to take out his things.

"Um," Xie Mingan was at a loss for words, "Is father in the study?"

Shen Ningning pouted: "Yes."

 After saying that, she turned and left.

Xie Mingan opened her thin lips slightly and wanted to call her to stop, but Shen Ningning walked quickly.

 After a while, the little figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor.

Xie Suzhi opened the door at this time and asked with a majestic expression: "Ming'an, are you looking for me?"

 Xie Mingan glanced at him, a little irritated: "I don't want to look for him now."

With that said, he also strode away.

 One of the people left behind, Xie Su, froze in place and frowned: "What's wrong with you again?"

 At night, the family finished their meal.

 Mrs. Xie Er excused herself from feeling uncomfortable and left early.

Mr. Xie Erye sighed: "Recently, Wan Jiu has been writing to me every day, crying and complaining that the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. She has been ill several times."

"Brother, I would like to marry her..." Mr. Xie seemed to want to plead, but in the end, he shook his head and sighed.

 “That’s it, it’s nothing.”

Xie Suzhi calmly helped Shen Ningning.

 His tone was calm: "Second brother, I told you last time."

“Zhangjiu is at a critical time for her growth. If her character is bad, your doting will only harm her.”

“Don’t worry, the servants from my hometown in Changzhou have taken good care of her. I never heard from the housekeeper that she was sick. I probably wanted to go back to Beijing, so I lied to you in the letter.”

Mr. Xie was stunned for a moment and looked a little angry.

“My wife must have taught her to be so deceitful, how can this be unreasonable!” He punched the table, very displeased.

Mr. Xie Er is upright and upright himself, but he doesn’t like that Mrs. Xie Er always teaches his children too much.

Shen Ningning picked up her chicken legs and put them into Mr. Xie's bowl.

“Second uncle, if you eat meat, don’t be angry after eating it.”

“The miracle doctor said that only if you feel better can you have a chance to get better.”

 “Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, eat meat.” The little guy’s voice was waxy and endearing.

 Xie Erye and Xie Suzhi laughed at the same time.

 The two looked at Shen Ningning with gentle eyes.

"Ning Ning is so good. My second uncle is not angry anymore. It would be great if I wish Jiu Jiu were half as obedient as you."

 Xie Mingan watched calmly from the side.

 In his memory, since his mother passed away, his father was silent and his second uncle became manic at times due to illness.

 But after Shen Ningning appeared, his father smiled more.

Even my second uncle rarely loses his temper.

 Finish a meal.

Xie Suzhi called Mr. Xie to the study to discuss the war.

 In late spring and late spring, I was going to take Shen Ningning back to the room.

 However, Xie Mingan called the little guy from behind again.

Shen Ningning looked back: "What's the matter?"

 Xie Mingan finally took out the brocade box generously.

 His face was expressionless, concealing the turmoil in his heart.

He said in a calm tone: "It's for you."

 Shen Ningning's big eyes were filled with light.

She shook her head: "I don't want it. What if it's a bad thing and you want to harm me?"

 There was a crack in Xie Ming'an's pretended calm expression.

 “You’re thinking too much!” He opened the box and revealed the shining butterfly hairpin inside.

 Shen Ningning's eyes lit up.

Wow! It's a little butterfly!

The little guy has known about beauty since he was sensible.

 In the past, her family situation was not good, and she was reluctant to wear new clothes.

 Now that I am living a good life, I am even more reluctant to spend money on those beautiful jewelry.

It's all about what Mo Lingwei rewards and what she uses.

 Seeing such a beautiful butterfly hairpin, the little guy's heart was moved.

Unexpectedly, Xie Mingan then said: "This is a meeting gift for you, one for each of the sisters in the house."

"Take yours first. When Zhanjiu comes back, I will give her another one."

Shen Ningning was about to reach out to take the hand, but suddenly stopped.

The little guy's fair and tender face, his expression turned silently cold.

 Wuchun even frowned upon hearing this.

This second young master is really good at handling cases, but he really doesn't know how to deal with people.

 Speaking like this, you are going to make someone angry to death!

I've been a little busy lately. After I caught a cold a while ago (I guess it was Er Yang), my head has been feeling dull and my reaction time has been slow. I feel a bit like a capillary now, and even more sad. Please give me some comfort and support. (Rolling back and forth and whining...)
