"Xiang'er, this is my other courtyard in Tingxi City, Yixian Village." Shi Dingfeng said, nodded at Mei Qiu, and then introduced to Hong Ningxiang, "This is Mei Qiu, my subordinate, I used to be the city lord of Tingxi City, and after I stepped down from the Demon Sect, Mei Qiu also stepped down. I wonder if you still remember her? ”

"Remember, how dare I forget such an important person around the ninth master." Hong Ningxiang didn't know what was wrong with her, hearing Shi Dingfeng introduce Mei Qiu so seriously, she felt a little uncomfortable, although she tried her best to control her emotions, but as soon as she spoke, her tone unconsciously carried a bit of self-deprecation, ignoring Shi Dingfeng's face that couldn't see joy and anger, she turned to Mei Qiu and said with a bow, "Speaking of which, I have to thank Miss Mei, thank you for taking good care of Ming'er when he was young." If you don't have your help, I'm afraid that Jiu Ye alone won't be able to take care of it at all. ”

"Madam is polite, it is my blessing to be able to take care of the young master." Mei Qiu lowered her eyes, and her tone was calm.

Although she said it extremely politely, Hong Ningxiang still felt as if she was saying that it was her duty to take care of Shi Ming.

She dared to speak like this, which showed that her relationship with Shi Dingfeng was extraordinary.

Since Mei Qiu can become the lord of the city, her cultivation and talent must be good, such an excellent woman is willing to work hard for Shi Dingfeng, she is so obedient to him, and she also helps him take care of the son of her "deceased wife", to say that she and Shi Dingfeng have no other relationship except master and servant, Hong Ningxiang feels unbelievable.

In the years when she "died", did Mei Qiu serve Shi Dingfeng as a concubine?

Hong Ningxiang knew that he shouldn't have doubted Shi Dingfeng like this, but seeing Mei Qiu's low-eyed and obedient appearance, he couldn't dispel the doubts in his heart.

"Xiang'er, Mei Qiu has been taking care of this courtyard for me, you don't have to see her too much, we will stay here for the time being." Shi Dingfeng glanced at Hong Ningxiang, looked away, and naturally took her hand and walked towards the corridor, Mei Qiu lowered her head and followed behind the two.

"Ninth Master, I've already prepared dinner, should I put it now? Or will you use it later? ”

Seeing the two enter the back hall, Mei Qiu stepped forward and asked.

"Put it in the back hall, Xiang'er should be hungry, right?!" Shi Dingfeng lifted his robe and sat behind the flower and bird screen in the main hall, where he could see the scenery in the garden by leaning against the window.

"Ninth Master, I remember that you used to ask me to open the valley and avoid it?" Hong Ningxiang didn't forget how he was controlled by him in those days when he was cultivating in Qingqiongmen, "At that time, my senior sister Bai Xiaoxiao asked me to eat less meat dishes every day, saying that if I ate too much, impurities would be produced in my body, which was not conducive to cultivation. ”

"In the past, when your cultivation was low, any trace of impurities would be detrimental to your cultivation, so you naturally had to avoid it. Now that you are a primordial infant, you can eat a few bites of food once in a while, and that little impurity will not affect your cultivation. What's more, the meals prepared by Mei Qiu are different from those eaten by mortals, and it doesn't hurt to eat them every day. Shi Dingfeng snorted coldly.

This woman is becoming more and more bold, and she dares to mention Bai Xiaoxiao! It's okay if she doesn't mention it, but when he mentions it, he thinks of the humiliating years when he pretended to be a woman in order to chase her.

It seems that the humiliation he endured has to be recovered from her with interest, otherwise she will use that past as a joke, how can he have face as a husband?

Seeing her strolling around the window, he stood behind her with his hands in his hands, "How's the view?" Like it here? ”

"Well, that's good." Hong Ningxiang looked around with a critical eye, and originally wanted to pick out a place that Meiqiu hadn't taken care of, but she couldn't find any of them, and even the corners of the house were cleaned cleanly, she had to sigh with admiration, "Every place is cleaned very clean, and the flowers and plants outside are also well taken care of, which shows that Miss Mei has put a lot of thought into it." Ninth Master, did Ming'er grow up in this place? ”

"Not exactly here. Naru'er sometimes lives in the City Lord's Mansion, and sometimes she comes here for a while. ”

While the two were talking, Mei Qiu had already brought the two little maids and put the meal on the table.

Mei Qiu personally brought a copper basin filled with water to the low stool on the side, held up a snow-white handkerchief with both hands, and said to Shi Dingfeng: "Ninth Master, clean your hands." ”

Shi Dingfeng glanced at Hong Ningxiang, "Madam first." ”

Looking at Mei Qiu's skillful appearance, she must have served Shi Dingfeng to wash like this in the past, and she was really a maid and housekeeper. Since he said not to see Mei Qiu, then she doesn't have to be polite.

Hong Ningxiang walked in front of Mei Qiu, took the handkerchief, soaked it in water in a copper basin, washed his hands and face briefly, put the handkerchief back in Mei Qiu's hand, and said gently, "Then bother Miss Mei to change the basin water again, and I will serve the ninth master to clean his hands." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Mei Qiu turned to leave.

"No need." Shi Dingfeng said to Mei Qiu, "Mei Qiu, the teleportation array still needs to be sealed, so you can go and get busy." ”

"Yes...... Isn't this water changing? Mei Qiu asked cautiously.

"It's used by the lady, not someone else. Anyway. ”

After Shi Dingfeng finished speaking, he casually picked up a handkerchief, soaked himself in water, and washed his hands and face.

Hong Ningxiang remembered that Shi Dingfeng had a habit of cleanliness since he was a child, and he didn't like to share things with others, but he didn't expect to be in front of Mei Qiu...... Is he reminding Mei Qiu that she is the hostess here? Or is it a hint to her that he and her relationship is so intimate that they share a handkerchief? Or is it showing affection? Whatever the reason, it's quite embarrassing. Without waiting for Shi Dingfeng to finish washing her hands and face, she sat straight to the dining table and checked the food on the table casually.

"There wasn't a single meat dish, all of them were vegetarian dishes. But look at this mushroom, this bamboo shoot, and this fruit soup, the color is bright and bright, and it should taste good. As she spoke, she picked up her chopsticks and picked up a piece of mushroom as if no one else was around and tasted it. The entrance is soft and smooth, fragrant and delicious, not to mention, there is a rich aura that rushes straight into the throat, so delicious that it almost bites the tongue.

"Have you eaten it?" Shi Dingfeng sat down beside her and gave her a bowl of fruit soup, "These spiritual vegetables and spiritual fruits are all planted by Mei Qiu herself. ”

"Hmm-" Hong Ningxiang said vaguely, "Butler Mei is really ingenious, virtuous and capable. ”

"What did you say?"

"Nothing—nothing." Hong Ningxiang swallowed a mouthful of fruit soup, obviously adding sweet honey to it, but she felt an astringency in her mouth, her fingers slowly flicked the spoon, she explained with a smile, "I mean, it's delicious, Jiu Ye eat more, don't live up to Miss Mei's wishes." ”

Shi Dingfeng originally picked up the chopsticks, but put them down.

He stared at her with heavy eyes, "When the meal is over, you go back to your room to rest first." When passing through the teleportation array today, although there was the Boundary Umbrella to protect us, the two of us were not injured, but it also cost a lot of mana, you have to recuperate, if there is anything you tell Mei Qiu to do, you don't have to do it yourself. ”

"Okay." Hong Ningxiang bowed her head and answered, and saw Shi Dingfeng leave the dinner table with her hands in her hands, she seemed to be breathing a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't get up, she couldn't go down, she was so uncomfortable, she wanted to ask him where he was going, but she couldn't ask a word. Looking back at this delicious meal, she, like him, couldn't eat a single bite.
