Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu respectfully responded, “Yes, ma’am.”

Tian Huan smiled, “From now on, you should address me as sixth Lady Tian. Remember, from this moment on, you are servants of the Xie family. In fact, this is a stroke of luck for both of you. If you had stayed in the Tian family, you would only have become escorts for transporting goods. By following Scholar

Xie and Lady Lu, your prospects may be even greater than mine in the future.” Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu understood that Lady Tian’s words were true. Xie Yunjin was a scholar and had a strong academic background. If he passed the imperial examinations in the future and became an official, they would serve as his bodyguards, which would be more promising than staying with the Tian family.

It was precisely because of this that Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu were even more grateful towards Lady Tian for sending them over.

“We thank you, Lady Tian, for your generosity.”

After saying this, the two turned around and looked at Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao,

“We pay our respects to the Young Master and Lady.”

Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao nodded, accepting them officially.

Lu Jiao began to assign tasks, “From now on, Ruan Kai will accompany my husband and be primarily responsible for his safety, while Ruan Zhu will follow me.”

As Lu Jiao spoke, Xie Yunjin, lying on the bed, said, “You can have both of them. I don’t need anyone.”

Lu Jiao immediately reminded him, “Have you forgotten how you got injured?”

Without waiting for Xie Yunjin to respond, she forcefully declared, “That’s settled.”

Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu saw that Xie Yunjin remained silent and quickly responded, “We accept your orders.”

Lu Jiao called for Lu Gui to come in and said, “Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu will be the bodyguards of the Xie family from now on. Arrange their accommodation.”

Lu Gui was delighted to see Ruan Kai and Ruan Zhu because they were skilled in martial arts. With them guarding the Xie family, he could rest more peacefully.

Lately, due to his brother-in-law’s injury, everyone in the family was worried, and the atmosphere in the house had become particularly heavy. Now, with two bodyguards, they felt more at ease.

“Bodyguards Ruan’s, please follow me.”

After bidding farewell to Xie Yunjin, Lu Jiao, and Lady Tian, Ruan Kai, and Ruan Zhu left.

Inside the room, Lu Jiao held Tian Huan’s hand and smiled, “This time,

Huanhuan, you helped us solve a big problem. I’m grateful for your assistance. If there’s anything the Tian family needs help with in the future, feel free to ask me.”

Lu Jiao was referring to herself as an individual. If there was anywhere she could be of assistance, she would definitely help.

However, Lady Tian didn’t notice this detail and replied with a smile, “I won’t hesitate to ask for your help if there’s a genuine need in the future. I’ll come to you then.”

“Sure.”

The two women spoke happily, while the man on the bed gazed at them with deep, alluring eyes that glowed with fiery.

The First Born quickly noticed something off about his father. He glanced at his mother and Aunt Tian, who were speaking affectionately, and suddenly understood why his father’s expression wasn’t good. It was because he was unhappy seeing his mother and Aunt Tian getting along well.

Although the First Born didn’t understand the subtleties, he didn’t want his father to be unhappy.

So he turned around and walked up to Tian Huan, “Aunt Tian, let me show you the painting I did today. What do you think?”

The three younger children, though they didn’t understand the meaning behind it, followed along and joined in.

“Yes, Aunt Tian, let us show you the paintings we did today.”

Tian Huan immediately got up happily and followed the four children out. Inside the room, Lu Jiao turned her head to look at Xie Yunjin on the bed, noticing that his expression wasn’t too good.

Lu Jiao worriedly walked up to Xie Yunjin’s bedside and asked, “Your complexion doesn’t look good again. Are you sure your body is feeling okay?”

Xie Yunjin’s face quickly returned to normal. With Tian Huan no longer being a hindrance, he felt much better.

“Lady Tian sent the two people here because you helped Tian Jinan with his injury. If you successfully treat Tian Jinan’s brain injury, it would be considered repaying their favor. If you can’t cure him, we’ll find another way to repay the favor later.”

Lu Jiao nodded. She was about to advise Xie Yunjin to rest well when Zhao Lingfeng’s voice came from outside the door.

“Scholar Xie, is your injury serious?”

As the words fell, a tall and handsome figure walked in from outside the door. Xie Yunjin coolly glanced at him and asked, “What are you here for?”

Zhao Lingfeng sincerely replied, “I’m just concerned about your injury. After all, you’re the husband of my business partner. How can I not come and show my concern?”

Xie Yunjin bluntly exposed him, “It’s because Zhao Yuluo couldn’t stand staying at home, right?”

Zhao Lingfeng couldn’t help but laugh, “Indeed, you truly live up to being a scholar. You guessed it right.”

Earlier, when Xie Yunjin had the accident, Lu Jiao had sent messages to all the families, requesting them not to send their children here temporarily to prevent any accidents on the way.

As a result, Zhao Yuluo felt bored staying at home after a few days and insisted on coming to the Xie family for lessons.

Recently, Zhao Lingfeng had noticed that his daughter had become more sensible, so he immediately brought her over upon hearing her request.

Inside the room, upon hearing Zhao Lingfeng’s words, Lu Jiao immediately frowned in disagreement and said, “It’s dangerous right now. You’d better take her back. Don’t send her over.”

Zhao Lingfeng casually replied, “Don’t worry, I will personally accompany her for pick-up and drop-off every day. I guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen.”

His daughter was becoming more sensible. What was wrong with him sending her here?

With Zhao Lingfeng insisting, Lu Jiao couldn’t deny him more. She looked at him and said, “You’d better pick her up every day. If you’re not available for pick-up, then don’t send her over.”

“Fine.”

As Zhao Lingfeng finished speaking, he looked at Lu Jiao and smiled, “How about I send two bodyguards to your house?”

Lu liao didn’t sav anything. but Xie Yuniin on the bed replied. “No need. we already have bodyguards at our house.”

Zhao Lingfeng skeptically responded, “The bodyguards I’m sending are skilled in martial arts. Your family doesn’t have such bodyguards.”

Before Zhao Lingfeng could continue speaking, Tian Huan, who was outside the door, entered and interjected, “The ones I’m sending are from the Tian family, what’s the problem?”

Lady Tian had recently come to the Xie family and had seen Zhao Lingfeng once. Although she didn’t know Zhao Lingfeng’s identity, judging from his demeanor and behavior, she could guess that he held a high position.

However, Lady Tian didn’t like the sense of superiority he exuded, which is why she saw his unpleasant expression.

Zhao Lingfeng naturally knew where the Tian family came from; it wasn’t surprising that they had skilled individuals.

However, now that he had brought people here, wouldn’t it be unreasonable to take them back?

Ignoring Lady Tian, Zhao Lingfeng turned to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and said, “The people sent by the Tian family are from the Tian family, and the ones I’m sending are from me. If you can accept the people sent by the Tian family, there’s no reason not to accept the ones I’m sending.”

Xie Yunjin casually replied, ‘My house is already overcrowded. Your family should take your people back.”

Indeed, the Xie residence currently had quite a few servants and didn’t need any additional personnel. While these servants didn’t cost much, they still needed to be taken care of. Moreover, there were only a few masters in total, so having so many servants could lead to trouble.

After hearing Xie Yunjin’s words, Zhao Lingfeng’s expression turned bitter. He turned to Lu Jiao.

Lu Jiao looked at him and said, “There are indeed enough servants in my house. We don’t need any more. Please take them back..”
