Chapter 370
369, I Believe in You (6th update)
“`
“Um, thank you, sir. In the future, just send someone over with these things!”
“`
“`
“It’s no bother at all. I’ve been thinking about the delicious dishes at Miss Xie’s tavern, and have already reserved a banquet. My wife and children will be joining me soon!”
“`
Xie Zhinuan smiled.
Considering how Liu, the county magistrate, cared about his family, she held him in higher regard.
“I’ll have someone send over a tael of Drunken Snow Brew later. I won’t join you, so you and your family enjoy your meal!”
“Thank you, Miss Xie!”
Although Liu, the county magistrate, was curious about which brew Xie Zhinuan would send, he hadn’t expected the Drunken Snow Brew. His entire table of dishes cost only a few dozen taels of silver, and even as a county magistrate, who received many tributes, he wouldn’t dare to order Aged Drunken Snow Brew at Kechanglai, although he had tasted it a few times as a guest. Yet even then, he only had a few cups, as after all, a tael of brew could only fill so many cups.
“Miss Xie is quite generous with her offerings!”
Meanwhile, the generous Miss Xie was riding a horse.
She was practicing in the backyard of her new residence, taking it slow. This horse, fed a basin full of Spiritual Spring Water, seemed to be understanding human nature more with each day, carrying her at a comfortable pace. Meanwhile, the other three pets huddled together, coldly eyeing this newcomer who had now also gained Xie Zhinuan’s affection.
They were all thinking about putting it in its place.

After several laps, Xie Zhinuan had mastered that there was not much difference between riding a horse and riding a mule, save that the horse was somewhat taller.She thought about when she might ride out for a spin.
To test her horse riding skills as well.
In the dead of night, Xie Zhinuan heard the horse whinnying.
Xie Yi was startled awake, and she soothed him with a soft voice.
Silly Girl pushed open the door and came in, whispering, “It’s been bullied by Dahuang and the others!”
“?,” Xie Zhinuan was taken aback.
“Dahuang, Grey Wolf, and Routuan ganged up on the new horse, biting through its skin. The poor thing neighed so miserably, though, in reality, its injuries aren’t too severe,” Silly Girl explained, huffing, “Miss, I’m really curious, why are the animals you raise so clever?”
Their wits were far superior to those of other livestock.
Xie Zhinuan first soothed Xie Yi back to sleep before getting up and leaving the bedroom.
She saw Silly Girl sitting on a chair, drinking cold tea, and shook her head in resignation, “How many times have I told you to drink less cold tea? Why don’t you listen!”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s cold or hot, it’s just a cup of tea after all!” Silly Girl whispered, glancing inside, “Is Ayi asleep?”
“Mhm, he’s asleep!” Xie Zhinuan said with a gentle smile.
Her eyes were filled with affection and care.
For Xie Yi, her love was truly bone-deep.
If she was unavailable, Aunt Chen, Mute Uncle, and Grandma Chen would take care of him, but whenever she had time, it was she who looked after him, especially at night.
Xie Zhinuan leisurely asked Silly Girl to go to the living room while she herself fetched water from the tank to boil on the stove.
She brought out some pastries and boiled peanuts and seeds. Then she opened a cupboard, retrieved a porcelain bottle, poured out a medicine pill, and handed it to Silly Girl, “Dare you take it?”
Silly Girl glanced at the pill, then at Xie Zhinuan, and without a word, swallowed it down.
“Aren’t you afraid it’s poison?” Xie Zhinuan sat on the side, cracking open seeds.
“What does it matter if it is poison? Even if it were true, given by you, Miss, I wouldn’t have the slightest hesitation!”
Not every person is like Yin Suwen, ungrateful and disloyal.
Many are more like Xie Zhinuan.
Even after breaking ties with the Yuan Family, she still kept the two elders in her heart; her silence did not mean she forgot them.
“You asked me why those pets are so clever. Some of the reasons are in the pills, and some are in the water they drink. You know I carry a secret. After taking it-”
“Miss, I understand, you don’t have to say!” Silly Girl cut in, breathing heavily, feeling very hot inside.
