Xia Jinjun saw that his wife was not surprised, and he became suspicious, "You knew it a long time ago?"
Xia Chen smiled lightly, "How should I know? I just saw that Master Xie had an extraordinary demeanor and thought he was a young man from a wealthy family. To ordinary people like us, the sons of officials or the emperor are both high and mighty."
"That's right. I never thought I'd get to know the prince in this life. It must be a blessing from my ancestors."
Xia Chen lowered her eyes, "I just don't know whether it's good or bad."
Xia Jinjun looked over suddenly, misunderstanding what his wife meant, "Are you talking about the prince being unpopular?"
Xia Chen didn't explain and just nodded.
"We ordinary people don't have much ability, so we don't care what happens to the people above us. Don't worry, even if something happens, it shouldn't involve us."
Xia Chen said nothing more. She was just a woman. How could she see through the mysteries of the court?
The Xia family still had a lot of things to do, and it was impossible for everyone to go to the capital. After much discussion, Xia Jinyu decided to stay and take care of his pregnant wife.
Cheng Han was already six months pregnant, and she was not feeling well due to the bumpy ride.
Cheng Han felt guilty, "Why don't you go? I'll go back to my parents, and you can rest assured that they will take care of me."
"No." Old Madam Xia denied it, "Your parents are old, and you are getting weaker and weaker. You should let the third child stay. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future when you go to the capital."
Xia Jinyu nodded. This was what he meant. In fact, it didn’t matter to him whether he went to the capital or not. It was not as important as staying with his wife.
"Don't worry, Aunt San, we will be back soon."
Xia Zhiliao said with a smile.
[Aunt San will die during childbirth. I have to stay here, otherwise I will be worried.]
After hearing this, the Xia family members were all shocked. After all, Cheng Han was not noisy or quarrelsome, and everyone liked her very much.
"Yes, you still have more than three months before giving birth, so we must come back."
Cheng Han didn't know how dangerous it was, but she still smiled and nodded, "Mom, although I also want you to stay in the capital more, but I feel at ease when you and my second sister-in-law can come back. The last time you helped someone deliver a baby, the whole village knew about it."
Xia Chen thought to herself that it was not her who delivered the baby, but her own little girl. But since they all came back, the little girl would naturally come back too.
"Don't worry, Third Sister-in-law, we will definitely come back. Giving birth is a big deal, and this is your first child. Even if you don't tell us, we have to come back. Otherwise, how can we be at ease?"
"Thank you, second sister-in-law."
Xia Zhiliao still reminded him, "Aunt San, you must eat less tonics. Eat less. If you eat too much, your brother will grow too big."
The fetus is large and difficult to deliver. Even if she is still there, it will still be very dangerous.
Cheng Han nodded and took note. She didn’t know why the little girl said that. She had already eaten very little. But after all, the little girl meant well, so she just did as she was told.
The Xia family is large, and Lei Jiuniang's one carriage is not enough. If they want to go to the capital, they can hire a car, but there is no need for that. They will need to use it frequently in the future, so she simply bought two more.
Ling He also returned to the capital with them. After all, he was worried about his master, and the three boys from the Xia family were also going to the capital. Who would he stay to teach martial arts?
It’s good that we can take care of each other along the way.
Although the Xia family knew that going to the capital might affect their family's fate, they couldn't help but feel excited when they set out on the journey.
After walking for most of the day, everyone found a beautiful place with mountains and rivers to sit down and rest, and Xia Jinxiu also took out the dry food she had brought with her.
"Grandpa Wei, is the capital city very big?" Xia Jiang asked.
General Wei smiled and said, "Silly boy, of course the capital is big."
"Are the people in the capital city fierce?" Xia Jiang asked again.
"Why do you ask that?" General Wei asked, "Whether this person is fierce or not has nothing to do with where he is from."
Xia Jiang nodded, but Xia Hai couldn't wait any longer, "Grandpa Wei, you are a general, are you afraid of that guy from the Marquis' Mansion?"
General Wei looked at him and said, "Which marquis' mansion? Whether you are afraid or not depends on whether it is reasonable. If it is unreasonable, I am afraid of even the common people. If it is reasonable, I am not afraid of the emperor either."
He has been like this for so many years. If he wasn't good at fighting, he would have been plotted against long ago.
But he didn't care and was too lazy to waste time with those people.
"You also know Hou Mansion? Not bad."
Xia Hai snorted coldly, "Of course I know. That woman from the Hou Mansion came to my house and bullied my grandmother and my mother."
"A woman from the Hou Mansion?" General Wei looked at Xia Jinjun, but was surprised to see Xia Jinjun blushing. It was a woman again, so General Wei was a man of roughness but also of subtlety. "Jinjun, what's wrong?"
"Uncle Wei... cough cough..."
"Jinjun, tell your uncle if you have anything to say."
"It's nothing, actually." Xia Chen glared at her youngest son and said, "Uncle Wei, it's just some misunderstandings."
General Wei glanced at Xia Jinjun, indicating that he had married such a good woman.
"Why did the people from Hou Mansion come here?"
"It's called a marquis' mansion, but it's just a concubine." Xia Jinxiu sneered and laughed mockingly, "We don't know what marquis' mansion it is, it's the one where the marquis died not long ago."
General Wei nodded, "I see, it turns out it's their family."
"What happened to their family?" Xia Jinxiu asked curiously.
Old Lady Xia looked at her daughter, and Xia Jinxiu asked coquettishly, "Mom, just let Uncle Wei tell us. We are all family members, so we won't talk nonsense. Is there anything interesting in their family?"
"Fun?" General Wei smiled and shook his head, "Jinxiu's craftsmanship is really good."
"Uncle Wei, please tell me quickly. I will grill fish for you later."
General Wei smiled and nodded, "Okay, that's what you said."
"I never cared about these things, but their family affairs were a big deal, so I listened to some of them."
He is a serious workman, so he doesn't have the time to care about these things.
"Uncle Wei, please hurry up. I'm so anxious." Xia Jinxiu urged.
General Wei smiled heartily and said, "Well, I haven't seen the concubine in their family, but I have seen the girl. She is indeed quite smart. She also shined at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet and has a close relationship with several princes. She has overshadowed the daughter of the Marquis's family and has now moved back to the Marquis's family."
"That girl has quite some skills!" Xia Jinxiu said.
How could a daughter of a concubine be able to enter the house and take over some affairs of the mansion of the marquis, be an ordinary person?
[She has more skills than these, there will be more in the future. ]
"Although I don't have much contact with the Hou Mansion, she can't do anything to you as long as I'm here."
After hearing General Wei's words, everyone felt relieved.
Then there is nothing to worry about.
"But what kind of misunderstanding is it? Can it be resolved?" asked General Wei.
Xia Jinjun blushed and gritted his teeth to briefly explain the situation. General Wei nodded, "I see."
