Ji Shuisheng nodded and confidently said to the Empress,

“The princess has already recovered after taking the medicine.”

As soon as Saiya could move, she couldn’t help but cry. She fell into the queen’s arms aggrievedly.

“Mother, I’m so scared.”

“It’s alright; it’s alright. Do you still remember what the woman who attacked you looked like?”

The Empress gently patted her daughter’s back to comfort her. Feeling that her body was trembling, the Empress gritted her teeth in hatred. She was determined to grind her bones into ashes if she grabbed that woman.

The Princess wiped her tears away.

“I remember. I would recognize her even if you skinned her.”

“Alright, Mother ordered people to capture all the women in Tacheng.”

“Yes.”

The arrogant Saiya was also holding her breath. Since she dared to freeze her for so long, this witch would kill her if she caught her.

“Thank you for saving me again, Brother Ji.”

Saiya remembered that Ji Shuisheng was still there, so she quickly wiped away the killing intent in her eyes and came over to thank Ji Shuisheng. Her big, wet eyes looked at him shyly. She no longer had the unruly attitude she had in front of others but had the shyness of a young girl.

“You’re welcome. Since the Princess is fine, I will take my leave.”

Ji Shuisheng’s expression was indifferent, and he spoke respectfully to the Empress without looking at the Princess.

“Alright, I’ve delayed you. Someone come and reward him… A hundred fat sheep, skins, and two jars of wine are rewarded.”

The Empress had wanted to reward Ji Shuisheng with gold, but when she thought that her gold had been emptied, she could only change her words and reward him with something else.

Although this reward was not as valuable as gold, Mo City needed it most. Ji Shuisheng gladly accepted it and cupped his fists to thank the Empress for her reward.

“Mother, please invite Mr. Ji to stay for dinner!”

Seeing that Ji Shuisheng was about to leave, Saiya gently shook the Empress’s arm, speaking to Mother in a coy tone.

The Empress’ expression was indifferent.

“Mother still has important matters to attend to today, so it’s inconvenient for Teacher Ji to stay.”

Saiya pouted unhappily. The Empress, who had always doted on her, was not in the mood to coax her. Since her daughter’s health was no longer a problem, she had to focus on investigating the theft of the palace.

Saiya still wanted to say something, but she was so frightened by the empress’ unusually stern gaze that she did not dare to say anything. She could only look at Ji Shuisheng aggrievedly, her eyes revealing a deep reluctance to part.

The Empress turned around and glanced at Ji Shuisheng. Although this person had an imposing appearance and was well-versed in literature and martial arts, he was still a Central Plainsman. The daughters of the royal family were all used to stabilize the political power and marry. Now that the Tartan Kingdom was significantly weakened, the tribes that could still be suppressed in the past were all restless. She decided to give up on her daughter.

“Leave!”

The Empress ordered people to send Ji Shuisheng away. Saiya wanted to follow him but was stopped by her nanny. Saiya could only watch Ji Shuisheng leave.

Ji Shuisheng hurried back to Mo City with a cart of good leather and two jars of fine wine pulled by a hundred fat sheep. When the soldiers guarding the city saw that Ji Shuisheng had rushed back with so many fat sheep, they instantly became excited and hurriedly opened the city gates to welcome him.

Ji Shuisheng received a warm welcome like a victorious general. When he returned to the government office, Ji Shuisheng called Qiu Yongkang over and asked him to invite Old Master Qiu and the respected elders of the village.

According to Old Master Qiu and the elders in the village, the weather was getting colder and colder. They decided that the villagers of Peach Blossom Cove would stay in Mo City for the winter. Since Tartan was in chaos, they had no time to take care of Mo City for the time being.

If they could live and work in peace and contentment, no one would want to go to Jingshi Dao anymore.

After all, they were all afraid of the days of fleeing from famine. After finally settling down, no one wanted to leave their home again.

Since they would stay in Mo City, they could not always eat in such a big pot. It was too heavy a burden. Therefore, they divided these fat sheep into a few for each family to raise and breed. Each family would be given some food and live independently!

Ji Shuisheng wanted to discuss this matter with Old Master Qiu and the others. He had already brought everyone to a safe place. It could be considered that he had completed his foster father’s request. From now on, each family would live according to their abilities.

Qiu Yongkang agreed and left. Ji Xiaoying and the other girls were overjoyed when they saw their big brother rushing back with so many fat sheep.

“Brother, you’re capable. So many sheep. That’s great.”

Ji Xiaoying circled her big brother in admiration, grinning from ear to ear.

Ji Shuisheng saw his sister’s eager eyes light up and smile as she looked at the sheep. The little girl was easily satisfied, so he smiled and said to his sister happily,

“Chase the sheep to the backyard.”

“Alright.”

Ji Xiaoying agreed very readily. She was a happy shepherding girl. Jiang Yuyan and Li Shuang’er helped to herd the sheep in the backyard. The girls were more comfortable than during the New Year.

“Not bad.”

Su Qing’s beautiful eyes smiled and teased Ji Shuisheng- two digestive pills for many things. The next time she met the Princess, she would have to hit her acupoints. She would be the white face and let Shuisheng be the red face, chasing all the fat sheep of Tartan back.

She had already thought of how to eat it. It was winter, and the hotpot was warm and nutritious. There was nothing more beautiful than this.

The fat sheep of Tartan didn’t have a fishy smell at all. It wouldn’t even be exchanged for a god. The meat was fresh and tender. After rolling it in boiling water, it was dipped in sauce and eaten with a small glass of wine.

“It’s all your credit.”

Ji Shuisheng’s eyes sparkled as he smiled at Su Qing. His eyes were filled with love.

“Since we’ve finished these 100 sheep, let’s do it again.”

Su Qing was also mischievous for once. Her long and dense eyelashes fluttered mischievously. Her beautiful eyes were as clear as water under her eyelashes, and a smile was hidden. She winked at Ji Shuisheng mischievously.

“This is a business that costs nothing!”

Ji Shuisheng was also joking with her. His thin lips curled up slightly, and his voice seductively dragged out the last syllable. Su Qing smiled and nodded.

“Yes, it’s worth it.”

“What delicious food are you cooking!”

Wife, I’m hungry! Ji Shuisheng smelled the fragrance and asked her with a smile. The undisguised love in his eyes was like a husband who had returned and was acting coquettishly with his wife.

“Red braised pork; I’m treating Brother Yang and the brothers to dinner tonight. There’s still freshly fried Zila in the house. Are you hungry? Let Xiaoying get you a bowl?”

Su Qing thought that Ji Shuisheng was hungry. From the look in his eyes, it seemed like he had been hungry for a long time.

“Let’s eat together when Brother Yang and the others come.”

Ji Shuisheng was hungry, but he was not hungry. The faint fragrance on Su Qing’s body was alluring, more alluring than the taste of the stew.

“Shuisheng.”

As Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing talked, Qiu Yongkang helped his grandfather and Old Master Li into the courtyard, followed by the parents of the other families.

“Grandpa Qiu.”

Ji Shuisheng quickly strode forward and personally helped Old Master Qiu to the back hall of the government office.

It was more formal to come here since this was the first meeting since they arrived in Mo City.

“Shuisheng, why did you ask Yongkang to call us over?”

After resting for a few days, Old Master Qiu’s face was ruddy and energetic. His voice was full of confidence, and he had a sense of dignity as when he was in the Peach Blossom Cove.

“Yes, I have something to do. Grandpa, please sit down first.”

Ji Shuisheng respectfully helped the old master into the back hall and let him sit on the main seat. He wondered what the old masters would think when they heard his decision..
