Chapter 135 Is the Crown Princess satisfied with my service?
Mr. Xie's eyes were vague for a moment.
He feels guilty.
"This is about the case at the Dali Temple." Xiao Ji saw through it and said, "It is not convenient for me to intervene."
Moreover, Xiao Ji believed that Pei Chen was not a reckless person. If he did this, there must be a reason.
“Your Highness…”
Father Xie was about to speak again, but Xiao Ji's cold eyes fell on him.
When Xie's father saw Xiao Ji and Xie Yao covered in white, he realized what day it was today. Even though he was unwilling, he had to swallow it back.
"Your Highness, please inform the Dali Temple. This matter concerns Ruer's reputation, so please don't spread it to anyone else."
Father Xie looked very humble.
Xie Yao just watched coldly.
As a daughter, Xie's father had never considered her in this way.
Fortunately...
She doesn't need it either.
Xiao Ji did not comment and signaled the steward to send the guest away.
Miss Qingqing was extremely anxious, but she could not resist the warning look in Xie's father's eyes, so she had to follow him away reluctantly.
As soon as she left the house, she heard a grumbling voice coming in, "As the Crown Princess, you can't even save your own sister. I don't know what's the point of you..."
Zhu Qing sneered and immediately followed him out, his raised voice coming through clearly.
"Go and tell the gatekeeper not to let any cats or dogs into the prince's mansion from now on."
Miss Qingqing was so angry that her nose was crooked. This was simply scolding her by name.
But she couldn't do anything no matter how angry she was.
She is the biological mother of Xie Jing and Xie Yuru, but she is just a guest in the Xie family and her relationship with the Prince's Mansion is not very close.
What Zhu Qing said...was not wrong.
Miss Qingqing's face was pale. As soon as she left the Prince's Mansion, she threw herself into Father Xie's arms, "My husband, after all, I am the Crown Princess's concubine's mother. How could she allow the servants to humiliate me like this..."
Miss Qingqing was crying and shaking her father Xie's arm, "It's all Qingqing's fault. If Qingqing hadn't admired my husband and followed him without any status... I wouldn't have suffered this humiliation today."
“Wuwuwu…”
Father Xie looked at the woman in his arms, who had a slim figure, a gentle temperament, was stupid but loved him wholeheartedly, and held her in his arms.
"Don't worry, my dear. Later... I will make sure you get rid of this anger."
Miss Qingqing stopped sobbing and looked up at Father Xie eagerly, "Are you serious, my husband?"
Thinking of the news he had just learned a few days ago, a hint of coldness flashed across Xie's father's eyes, "When has your husband ever lied to you?"
Qingqing immediately raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and burst into laughter, "The Crown Princess is also my husband's daughter, are you really willing to let her go?"
Father Xie held Miss Qingqing's hand and said, "In my heart, only the pair of children between you and me are my children."
Father Xie said to the outside world: "Go to Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."
Since the prince couldn't get through, he went to look for Marquis Zhenbei.
But Father Xie was destined to go there in vain.
As soon as they left, Pei Chen arrived at the Prince's Mansion. He walked in with a chill, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.
Xiao Ji asked: "What's going on?"
Pei Chen's voice was cold, "A few days ago, I asked someone to check the accounts of the Military Equipment Bureau and found some omissions."
"Someone lied about the waste materials in the Arms Depot and secretly transported away the excess weapons. I learned about one of the participants yesterday and waited overnight."
"We were about to catch that person, but we didn't expect..."
Pei Chen was really angry!
"Your Highness, I was really wrong." Pei Chen sighed, "I never took Miss Xie seriously before."
"Now it seems that I underestimated women."
I can't do anything well.
Number one in trouble!
Xiao Ji was helpless, "These people must be very sharp. If they scare him away this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him again."
Pei Chen snorted coldly, "If you catch him again, you'll have to go to Yama Palace."
"This man died in the moat less than half an hour after escaping the encirclement." Pei Chen's voice was terribly cold, "These people are quick to kill people."
Xiao Ji understood it completely.
No wonder Pei Chen was so angry.
The person who was originally sure to be caught was shocked by Xie Yuru, and the clues were completely cut off...
Pei Chen took a deep breath and said, "I know Your Highness is in trouble. I will release Third Miss Xie when I return."
After all, she is the Crown Prince's sister-in-law...
"What's the problem?" Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows, looked at Pei Chen and said, "If a prince breaks the law, he will be punished the same as a commoner."
"Just follow the law, Marquis Zhenbei."
Pei Chen hesitated, "What about the Crown Princess..."
Xiao Ji's eyes immediately became alert, "This is also what my Crown Princess meant."
He is asserting his sovereignty.
Pei Chen didn't understand, he just thought His Highness was a little weird, "Yes, Your Highness."
Send Pei Chen away.
When Xiao Ji returned to the main courtyard, Xie Yao had already finished washing and was fumigating her hair. The room was filled with warm fragrance that was refreshing.
He washed his hands and walked to the couch.
He took the towel from Zhu Qing's hand and carefully wiped Xie Yao's soft black hair.
Xie Yao noticed the change in strength, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Ji with a serious look in his eyes. She raised her hand and hooked Xiao Ji's sleeve, and said in a sweet and soft voice, "Your Highness."
After taking a bath, Xie Yao was wearing loose pajamas, and the sleeves slipped down when she raised her hand.
The slender arms were exposed, dazzlingly white.
Xiao Ji's eyes softened a little, and he gently wiped Xie Yao's long hair and asked, "Are you satisfied with the Crown Princess I serve?"
Xie Yao pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Not bad."
"reward."
"What reward?" Xiao Ji asked more and more.
Xie Yao knew what His Highness was thinking from his expression. She moved closer to Xiao Ji and kissed him on the cheek, "Is that enough?"
Xiao Ji shook his head, "Not enough."
Xie Yao glared at him, "Your Highness is so greedy."
Xiao Ji picked her up by the waist and put her on the bed, "Save the reward from the Crown Princess for now."
Today is not the right day.
Xiao Ji kissed Xie Yao and then turned around to take a bath.
The next day.
As soon as Xie Yao woke up, Zhu Qing hurried in and said with an unpleasant expression, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened."
"The news that the Third Miss did not return to the Xie family all night has spread throughout the capital."
Xie Yao took a deep breath and said, "Tell me in detail."
If a woman did not come back all night, the rumors outside would be so ugly, but it would be fine if it was just Xie Yuru.
She and Xie Yujiao are both daughters of the Xie family, so both will be implicated.
Logically speaking, whether it is her, Zhang, or Miss Qingqing, they will cover up this matter.
As for His Highness and the Marquis of Zhenbei, this news should not spread...
"It's Miss Qingqing."
Zhu Qing said, "Miss Qingqing said bad things about you to the wife of Mr. Xie's colleague, and she let the cat out of the bag in her words, saying... Miss San went to look for the Marquis of Zhenbei, and did not return all night..."
Xie Yao: “…”
How could there be someone in the world who could be so stupid?
