"In addition, the princess has ordered Miss Qingdai to visit the Pingyang Marquis's residence. Please see the county magistrate and rush to the Pingyang Marquis's residence in Jinling immediately."

The county magistrate was delighted, thinking that his daughter might have married Princess Pingyang!

They are legitimate royal relatives. The current emperor's sister, Princess Hua'an, married the Marquis of Pingyang.

The general has not held military power for many years, so the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion has more say than the general's mansion!

If the Pingyang Marquisate still had a prince, and if one could board the ship of the Pingyang prince, then... the future would be limitless!

But then he thought of the general, but... the general also had his eyes on Qingdai, so...

“No!”

The county magistrate's wife suddenly shouted loudly.

"Master, have you forgotten that Qingdai has already been promised to the General's Mansion? Our family still has to go to the capital to give an explanation to the General!"

The county magistrate's thoughts were exposed, and he couldn't help feeling angry towards this lady.

How could he not know this? The key point is that he doesn't really want to know this fact now!

Qingdai knew what the county magistrate was thinking from the look on his face.

Indeed, the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion and the General's Mansion are both popular places, and this greedy father probably doesn't want to let go of either of them!

The black-clad guard was obviously not a fool. Just by looking at his expression, he knew what he was thinking.

"Don't worry about this matter. Pingyang Marquis' Mansion will naturally give the general an explanation."

The black-clad guard's words put an end to the county magistrate's wife's plans.

Qingdai looked at the hatred in the county magistrate's wife's eyes and couldn't help sighing in her heart.

You have to use magic to defeat magic.

Upon hearing that there was a way, the county magistrate's expression immediately brightened.

With the Ping'an Marquis Mansion stepping in, the general can't blame him, right?

"Then I would like to thank Princess Pingyang for her help. I will definitely send my disappointing daughter to the Marquis of Pingyang's mansion safely."

The man in black completed the task and felt a little satisfied.

Indigo suddenly became a hot commodity in the county magistrate's heart.

The county magistrate immediately said to Qingdai in a friendly manner, "You must have been frightened last night. Take a rest today and we will set off again tomorrow."

Qingdai looked flattered.

I was secretly laughing in my heart.

If she was not still useful, how could her father be so concerned about her.

After a day's rest, the family set off. This time, the county magistrate specially hired an extra carriage for Qingdai to ride in.

"Ada, Daddy has hired a carriage for you so that you don't have to endure the hardship of traveling."

Qingdai agreed with a smile on the surface, just like that silly concubine's daughter.

But my heart is very clear.

Once I lose my usefulness, I'm afraid this father will immediately turn against me.

***

After Gong Liangxiu returned to the palace at full speed for seven days, he immediately sent someone to find out the whole story.

I know that the general was attracted by Qingdai's stunning beauty and took her to be his concubine.

Gong Liangxiu stroked the jade ring, pondered for a moment, and smiled cruelly.

It's time to let them know that my temper is not that good.

***

Qingdai and her family drove a horse-drawn carriage and it took them more than a month to reach Jinling.

As soon as we settled in Nanjing, the general received a letter.

To be precise, it was the guards he sent out who came back to file a complaint.

"General, the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion really doesn't take you seriously!"

The general was very angry when he learned the whole story from the guards.

The old scoundrel Pingyang Hou, relying on his connections with the princess's family, looked down on him even more.

Now even a little girl dares to ride on his head.

This is simply outrageous!

This old man and his family are probably ready to take advantage of him!

So what if she was a princess? Once married, she was no longer connected to the royal family.

The general thought that the Marquis of Ping'an was disrespectful to his elders, and that he was right even if he brought the matter of robbing his concubine to the emperor!

At this time, he forgot that he had also obtained it by force.

"I'm going to the Marquis of Ping'an's house to confront him!"

The general bared his teeth and smiled ferociously.

He strode to the martial arts training ground, picked up his sword, turned around and walked out.

He didn't look like he was seeking justice, but rather like he was seeking revenge.

***

Marquis Ping'an received a secret order from the emperor more than a month ago, and specially opened up the West Garden in the mansion. The maids and other servants were all ready, waiting for the distinguished guest that the emperor had repeatedly instructed to come.

When Qingdai and her family arrived at the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion, the door was wide open. Marquis Pingyang greeted them with a smile and welcomed them into the mansion.

"This humble official greets the Marquis..."

"I have already arranged a place for Miss Qingdai to live. It's in the West Garden. It's spacious, with pavilions, terraces, and everything else. Miss, go and take a look and see if you like it."

The Marquis of Pingyang interrupted the county magistrate before he could finish his words, and said to Qingdai with a kind face, "How could you please condescend to personally lead Qingdai to the West Garden."

Qingdai knew from his expression that it must have been arranged in advance by the emperor.

The almighty marquis was very concerned about his concubine's daughter.

Moreover, the Marquis acted as if he didn't see him just now, which made the county magistrate feel resentful.

The county magistrate's wife's expression also stiffened slightly.

Their whole family was just like decorations here, and Marquis Pingyang only had eyes for that little bitch.

Ever since Qing Wu arrived at the Marquis of Pingyang's Mansion, every flower, grass, stone and tree in the mansion has constantly challenged her cognition.

The red gate is made of blue stone and the red tiles overlap.

As we approached the West Garden, we were surrounded by pink walls and willow trees.
