Anyway, he just evaded the issue by saying he didn't know, and didn't care whether it was true or not. What could others do to him?

Several girls were also pale when they heard the words. How could this guy be so shameless!

"The people from the Duke of England's Mansion are right outside. You will know if you ask. Besides, this is right near the Duke of England's Mansion. Who would dare to pretend to be someone from the Duke of England's Mansion?" Zhenzhu said.

Xu Yong, however, seemed to have not heard what they were saying at all, and ordered the guards to advance. There were only three or four maids with Yining, and the other party's guards were all tall and strong.

This Xu Yong is truly an uneducated and unlearned scoundrel. Otherwise, he would have backed off long ago upon hearing the name of the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. Such a troublemaker, sooner or later, would definitely cause trouble!

Yining looked around and found that there was no way out of this secluded courtyard. She must not let Xu Yong take her away!

Suddenly a voice sounded behind me.

"I bear witness that she is indeed the daughter of the Duke of England."

Yi Ning turned around and saw Lu Jiaxue, dressed in casual clothes, standing at the door with his men. He might have been standing there for a while before he slowly walked in. His personal guards rushed in and surrounded the guards. Soldiers tempered on the battlefield had a completely different aura, a very solemn and murderous aura.

Xu Yong had been helped up by the guards. When he saw that the person coming was Lu Jiaxue, he was very surprised: "Are you Governor Lu... Lord Lu? She... she is really..."

"She's Wei Ling's daughter, and also my adopted daughter." Lu Jiaxue sat down on a stone bench in the yard, leaning back against the stone table. He possessed a certain aura of dragon and tiger, a very overbearing presence. Xu Yong felt a chill run down his spine as the wind blew. Seeing Lu Jiaxue's relaxed demeanor, he felt like he was really in trouble this time.

Why did Lu Jiaxue suddenly come out!

Yi Ningke still remembered the last time she saw him, the bleeding head in her dowry box.

Lu Jiaxue hadn't wanted to come down, but thinking of how much Wei Ling truly loved his daughter, he couldn't let her go. He'd been standing outside and hadn't come in right away, listening to their conversation for a while. She was quite amusing, even kicking him into the pond. There was always a bit of a fierce edge to her personality, and no matter how gentle she was, she couldn't hide it.

That man was the same. Lu Jiaxue didn't want to do unnecessary work in the garrison, so he just lay in her room and refused to bully her. She thought about the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and smiled at him with anger.

As a result, when he fell asleep, she drew three cat whiskers on his face with ink. When he woke up, he found that the man was obedient and pretending to be confused when he went to settle the score with her. He then pulled her into his arms, kissed her face, and smeared the ink on her fair little face. The stubble rubbed her face so hard that it hurt.

She soon begged for mercy and cried out that she was uncomfortable. Lu Jiaxue had had enough of bullying. He held her face in his hands again and wiped her carefully with his fingers.

Xu Yong's face turned pale, and he turned back to look at Yining. She was looking at him coldly.

Xu Yong felt extremely embarrassed and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency, I really didn't know... I apologize to this lady, and I hope you won't take it to heart."

"No need to apologize." Lu Jiaxue rubbed his ring in his hand and said, "Just slap yourself twice."

Xu Yong's face turned even uglier, but thinking about the consequences of provoking these families, he only hated himself for letting his lust blind him. He was a scoundrel, but he also knew who to provoke and who not to provoke. Lu Jiaxue had already said that she was Wei Ling's daughter, and he had to make her calm down no matter what. He hardened his heart and immediately slapped himself twice, loudly and loudly: "Thank you for your teachings, sir."

Xu Yong then took his leave. Lu Jiaxue didn't say anything until cold sweat began to appear on Xu Yong's forehead, then he waved him away.

Lu Jiaxue had helped her, after all. Yi Ning gritted her teeth, walked up to him, and bowed to him, saying, "Thank you for today's matter, foster father. I'm sure you're busy with court affairs, so I won't bother you..."

As soon as she reached the door, Lu Jiaxue said, "Stop, am I letting you go?"

"What else does godfather want?"

A quarter of an hour later, Yining sat in the house, peeling pomegranates for Lu Jiaxue.

Use a knife to cut open the slits, then break them apart one by one, and pick out the grains one by one with a special silver stick.

Lu Jiaxue was playing chess with the Minister of War. The room was completely silent, with only the sound of dripping water from the tip of a bamboo tree.

Lu Jiaxue didn't have any other intentions, he just felt that the little girl didn't take him seriously. After all, he had saved her at her wedding, even though he had personally delivered the head. She didn't seem very grateful for saving her just now, and simply carried her in to help him peel the pomegranate as a punishment.

Yi Ning watched him play chess from the sidelines. His skill was truly terrible. Even though the Minister of War had already given him five stones, he still couldn't beat him. But she watched the game in silence. She didn't want to give Lu Jiaxue any advice, and certainly didn't dare. She probably didn't dare either. Winning or losing was entirely up to the governor, and who knew if he'd be pleased with her advice?

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Lu Jiaxue is a genius in commanding and arranging troops, but apart from writing beautiful words, playing the piano, chess, and painting are all nonsense to him.

The Minister of War probably didn't dare to give Lu Jiaxue too much face, so he gave up two more pieces and still won against Lu Jiaxue.

"A literary toy." Lu Jiaxue threw the chess piece into the chess cup and served tea.

The Minister of War smiled and said, "Your adopted daughter is the wife of the top scholar, so her skills should be quite good. Why not let her try for you?"

The Minister of War is an old man with a big beard, so there is no problem with gender.

Lu Jiaxue glanced at Yining, who then sat down opposite the Minister of War and said with a smile, "Then please leave first, Lord Fu." Her hands were sore from peeling the pomegranates, so it was a good time to take a break.

Lord Fu laughed, liking her straightforwardness, and started to move first.

Lu Jiaxue raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing and sat beside her watching her play chess.
