Before the house was raided, the maidservant of the Prime Minister's residence absconded with t

Young Master Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly chimed in with a smile, "Ah Tao, I'm just here to join in the fun and liven things up."

Don't be angry, just do as you say.

From now on, you can call me Brother Chen. Dongkui can also call me Brother Chen, and Ayan, needless to say, he's been calling me Brother Chen from the beginning.

Ah Chen was secretly overjoyed. Although they couldn't be a fake couple, at least he had become Ah Tao's brother.

They became even closer in how they addressed each other.

If I can't remember, staying with Ah Tao would actually be a good outcome.

Ayan is well-behaved and adorable, and Dongkui is also very kind to Atao. Having family members like these is truly wonderful.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi immediately frowned and said, "Why call me Brother Chen? I don't agree!"

Chen-gege sounds so awkward!

Just call him Ah Chen, and tell others he's your older brother.

Why do you have to call me "Brother Chen"? I think you're just trying to take advantage of me.

Xiao Yi thought to himself: Young Master Chen! Don't think I don't know what you're thinking.

He now only regards him as Young Master Chen, not as the Crown Prince.

He never expected that the amnesiac crown prince would actually develop feelings for Tao'er.

Even though the Crown Prince's harem does not yet have a Crown Princess, he still has concubines who serve him in his private quarters.

Once he ascends the throne, he will inevitably have a harem, and it will be impossible for him to make Tao'er fall in love with the Crown Prince.

Young Master Chen was not angry at Xiao Yi's displeased tone. Instead, he smiled and said, "If a younger sister calls her older brother by his name, wouldn't outsiders become suspicious?"

Wouldn't all of A-Tao's arrangements be in vain if that happened?

"Seventh Young Master Shi, don't you agree?"

"That……

Then let Dongkui and Ayan call you brother.

Try to talk to Tao'er as little as possible!

Xiao Yi stammered.

"Seventh Young Master Shi, I'm not a bad person. Why are you so persistent? Are you afraid I'll hurt Atao?"

Or perhaps it's because Young Master Shi dislikes me?

Ah Chen squinted and asked, his beautiful peach blossom eyes revealing a hint of inscrutableness.

"I……

I don't……

How could I hate you!

Don't talk nonsense.

Xiao Yi thought to himself, "You are the Crown Prince, how could I dare to dislike you!"

I just hate it when you get close to Tao'er.

Even if you really like Tao'er, I can't let her be with you.

"Alright, you two are so childish, arguing for so long over a title."

"From now on, Young Master Chen, Sister Dongkui, Ayan, and I will call you Brother Chen. You can also call me Tao'er or Sister Tao'er, just like they do."

Tao'er couldn't stand it anymore. These two seemed to be at odds, and she wondered what they were doing.

Ah Chen nodded. "Okay, Tao'er, you can call me Brother Ah Chen from now on. I think it sounds nice too."

After Ah Chen finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Yi, who remained silent with a sullen face.

She thought that once the Crown Prince regained his memories, he definitely wouldn't like Tao'er anymore, since the difference in their social status was too great.

The royal family would never allow a commoner to marry into the royal family.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi smiled and turned to Tao'er, saying, "Tao'er, don't be angry, I'll do whatever you say."

I was just joking with Young Master Chen.

Tao'er nodded, then ignored the two of them and turned to leave.

When it was time to eat breakfast, Elder Li also got up and sat down with Ayan.

Tao'er told everyone the results of their discussion that morning.

The little guy sat at the table, holding a bowl of porridge in both hands, his mouth rimmed with white porridge.

After listening to Tao'er's words, he tilted his little head and thought for a moment, then asked in a childish voice, "Sister Tao'er, should I call this white-bearded old man Grandpa Li from now on?"

"Yes, call him Grandpa Li." Tao'er wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

"Grandpa Li is here to treat Brother Shi Qi's illness. Be good and don't cause trouble, okay?"

Ayan nodded vigorously, then turned to look at Elder Li sitting beside him, grinned, and sweetly called out, "Grandpa Li!"

Elder Li was drinking porridge when he was called out, and his face lit up with a smile. He put down his bowl and reached out to pat Ayan's head: "Oh, good boy. Good boy."

Elder Li then took off the jade pendant he always wore and handed it to Ayan, saying it was a gift for their first meeting.

Ayan looked at Sister Tao'er and asked with his eyes, "Can I accept this?"

Tao'er nodded and said gently, "One should not refuse a gift from an elder. Ayan, please accept what your Grandpa Li gave you, but be careful to keep it safe and don't lose it."

Ah Yan happily accepted it and hung it around his waist.

Tao'er saw this and thought to herself that Elder Li was indeed a kind person, without any airs at all.

She had thought that someone as skilled in medicine as him, and also an elder of the Seven Kill Pavilion, would be somewhat arrogant, but she was surprised to find him so easygoing.

After breakfast, Xiao Yi and Qingfeng got busy.

The two went to the back mountain and cut a bundle of bamboo. They also asked Tao'er for a few old wooden planks and a large piece of oilcloth.

Tao'er rummaged through everything she could find in her house and used it to retrieve some items from her spatial dimension. These items were all available in this world, only of higher quality.

Is that enough?

Should I go borrow something from Aunt Wang next door?

Tao'er stood in the backyard, watching the two of them gesturing back and forth.

The so-called "borrowing" is all about taking from space.

"That's enough, that's enough." Qingfeng replied without turning his head, his saw moving rapidly. "Miss Tao'er, don't worry about it. We can finish this job in half a day."

Since Tao'er couldn't get involved, she went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water and brew a pot of tea, which she brought over every now and then.

Xiao Yi was efficient at his work; he didn't seem like a pampered young master.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing half of his forearm, and worked seamlessly with Qingfeng.

In less than two hours, a decent-looking shed was erected in the corner of the backyard.

The bamboo fence on all four sides was tightly bound, and the top was covered with tarpaulin and then a layer of straw. Although it was simple, it was more than enough to keep out the wind and rain.

Finally, a thick layer of waterproof cloth was added on top.

Xiao Yi dusted off his hands, took two steps back, and looked around. "Alright, that's enough to fit a few bathtubs."

Tao'er came over with the tea, walked around the stall, and couldn't help but praise, "Your skills are quite good."

I thought all you guys did was brandish swords and knives.

Qingfeng chuckled: "Miss Tao'er, you don't know, our young master can do everything."

Previously in…

"Qingfeng," Xiao Yi called out softly.

Qingfeng immediately shut his mouth, gave an awkward smile, took the teacup, and buried his head in drinking tea.

Tao'er glanced at Xiao Yi but didn't ask any further questions.

She knew these people had secrets, but she wasn't the type to pry.

She listens if people want to talk, and doesn't force them if they don't.

Even without saying it, she knew that the great general guarding the border had endured all kinds of hardships, from wind and rain to hunger and cold.

Building houses isn't a particularly difficult task.

After the water room was set up, Elder Li began to prepare the ingredients for the medicinal bath.
