When the little girl heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her sad expression changed. She asked excitedly, "It's my cousin. When did you meet her? Where is she now?"

At this time, the young man and the beautiful woman said: Chatting in front of them is really embarrassing for them.

Then, the beautiful woman was furious: "Luan'er, what nonsense are you talking about? Don't throw away your name just because you are angry with your mother."

The little girl probably felt that someone knew her cousin, so she had a clue in her heart. She glanced at the beautiful woman with disdain and said, "You are not my mother. My mother is not that ugly."

The beautiful woman's face suddenly turned blue and red, and the colorful colors looked very beautiful.

Ji Xingzhi couldn't help laughing after hearing this. This little girl is quite interesting.

Perhaps anxious, the beautiful woman said nothing more, took the little girl's hand and walked away: "Come on, follow me back."

Seeing this, Zhou Zheng immediately stepped forward to stop him, and drew out the sword that he had been carrying on his back. In an instant, a cold light flashed.

The beautiful woman suddenly dared not move.

Ji Xingzhi didn't care about anything else and directly ordered Zhou Zheng, "Zhou Zheng, send these two people to Uncle Song's house. Once they are in the Supreme Court, there's no need to worry that they won't tell the truth."

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was in an uproar and there was a lot of discussion.

"The Imperial Court? This young master is actually a relative of Lord Song."

"This is easy now. Once we get into the Supreme Court, the truth will become clear."

"He should have been sent to the authorities long ago."

“…”

Ji Xingzhi paid close attention to what everyone was saying, and heard that they were all praising Song Tingwei. It seemed that what the emperor's uncle said was right. Although Song Tingwei had a terrible reputation and was intimidating, he was a good official with an excellent reputation.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the beautiful woman and the middle-aged man left the little girl behind and ran away separately. The onlookers finally did a good thing and spontaneously grabbed people.

The little girl politely bowed to Ji Xingzhi and said, "Thank you."

Ji Xingzhi nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Miss Su, you are too polite."

——

Shunan Inn.

Shun'an Inn is located on Wan'an Chang Street, some distance away from the Regent's Palace. It is relatively quiet compared to other places around it. Since it is an inn for accommodation, the inn is also very quiet.

The inn was quite large, but only had two floors. Ji Xingzhi asked for a room upstairs because the upstairs room would rarely be disturbed.

The innkeeper took Ji Xingzhi and the other two into the room and brought them some hot tea before leaving.

The room is not big, but it is more than enough for one person to live in. It is fully equipped with tables, chairs, benches and daily necessities.

Ji Xingzhi sat on the stool, took three cups, picked up the teapot and poured three cups of hot tea.

He left one cup in front of him, one cup in front of the little girl sitting opposite him, and another cup in front of the empty seat to his right. He raised his hand and gestured to Zhou Zheng standing beside him, "Sit down too and have some tea."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zheng said seriously, "Sir, this is against etiquette."

Ji Xingzhi smiled and said, "There aren't so many rules when you're out. Sit down."

Zhou Zheng frowned in embarrassment, but after a moment, he nodded slightly and sat down: "Yes."

As a royal guard, you must follow the emperor's orders.

After Zhou Zheng sat down, Ji Xingzhi turned her gaze to the little girl and said, "My name is Xue Zhao, and this is my bodyguard Zhou Zheng."

When Zhou Zheng heard Ji Xingzhi mention his name, he immediately nodded slightly to the little girl as a greeting.

After listening to Ji Xingzhi's introduction, the little girl nodded politely to Zhou Zheng and began to introduce herself: "Since you know my cousin, you should also know that my cousin and I are both descendants of the Su family of Shuizhou State. My name is Su Cheng. To be honest, my cousin has been missing for a long time. My father and uncles have searched everywhere for her but haven't found her. My cousin and I have always been very close. I am very worried about her, but I stay at home and can't do anything. This time I secretly left home to find my cousin, but I didn't expect to run into those two evil people."
