For the Xia family, it was a great thing that Xia Jinxiu met the emperor and the emperor did not have any thoughts about her, as if they had escaped a disaster.
Although no one said anything, they were already very happy in their hearts. After all, this way they wouldn't have to lose their heads.
Emperor Shunde liked women with great talent and good looks. As for Xia Jinxiu, it was already good enough that he did not lose control of his expression when looking at a face like that.
After all, as an emperor, if he was frightened by an ugly monster, wouldn’t everyone laugh to death if this got out?
But Xia Jinxiu, although a little ugly, is indeed a very good cook.
This was his impression of Xia Jinxiu, nothing else.
A few days later, General Wei again requested to retire and return home. Emperor Shunde was still reluctant, but finally agreed.
General Wei was extremely happy. In fact, he knew very well what the emperor meant, which was why he made repeated requests.
Although General Wei did not make many friends with officials, he was very famous and had some good friends in the army who wanted to see him off.
Everyone felt that given General Wei’s age, once he left, they might never see each other again.
General Wei originally wanted to marry Mrs. Xia in the capital, but Mrs. Xia refused. At first, she didn't like the grand occasion because she was afraid of death. But after living in the capital for a few days, she really felt that it was good to keep a low profile.
Seeing her firm attitude, General Wei did not force her and just suggested inviting some friends to his home, after all, they were brothers who had been through life and death together.
Old Mrs. Xia no longer had any excuse to refuse.
Xia Jinxiu's face recovered, and she took Lei Jiuniang to meet the doctor again. In the words of Old Lady Xia, the little money they had earned before was probably spent.
General Wei laughed and said, "Don't worry, I have more after you spend it all."
Old Madam Xia glared at him and said, "Just protect them. You protected them before."
"You have taught Jinxiu very well. If I were not afraid that you would not let her go, I would actually be thinking of finding a marriage for her in the capital."
"The capital? Forget it, it's too far. I just want the children to be here with me."
Old Mrs. Xia knew that the man meant well, but she got a headache whenever she heard about the capital. She had been here for so many days and had nightmares every day.
Although the emperor would not do anything to a married woman, she still felt that she should stay away from such a place.
"I knew you wouldn't want to."
Old Madam Xia nodded, "Of course I am reluctant to let her go. She can still earn a living even if she is not in the capital. She can earn it herself if she wants to live a good life."
General Wei didn't say anything else. After all, he was not Ha Zi's biological father. Even if he was the child's biological father, he had to obey his daughter's wishes. A forced melon is not sweet.
He also noticed that these children didn't like the capital very much.
Xia Zhiliao was quite bored in such a big general's mansion without having to do anything. If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the street to shop with his aunt and the others.
She decided to go play with her three brothers, but when she arrived at their room, she found her second brother Xia Jiang was in a daze and didn't even notice her approaching.
Being frightened by her, Xia Jiang suddenly came to his senses, and then looked at her with a smile, "Sister, you scared me."
"Second brother, what are you thinking about so intently?"
Xia Hai came over and said, "Second brother is thinking about the girl."
Xia Zhiliao frowned, "What girls? How old are you?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Xia Hai, I think you are looking for a beating."
Xia Hai stuck out his tongue, then slipped to the side, grabbed a bunch of food and handed it to Xia Zhiliao.
Always love your sister.
Xia Zhiliao smiled and shook his head, "Third brother, I haven't eaten the food in my room yet."
"Third brother, you haven't told me what girl you want?"
"That day, my second brother helped a beautiful girl get her purse back, and then he just sat there in a daze."
"Nonsense, what are you talking about? I'm just thinking about something, don't talk nonsense." Xia Jiang glared at his brother.
[Girl, what girl? Who did the second brother meet? ]
"What day?"
After Xia Hai finished speaking, Xia Zhiliao's heart skipped a beat.
[Could it be Lu Seyan? She was indeed on that street that day. It can't be such a coincidence, right? Although it was early, my second brother still met her. Will she kill him in the future? ]
Xia Jiang glanced at Xia Hai. The three brothers could clearly hear their sister's thoughts, and both of them looked unhappy.
Even though Xia Hai had a lot of fights with his brothers, he didn't want his brother to die.
"What... happened to you?" Xia Zhiliao also noticed something was wrong.
"Nothing...nothing." Xia Hai said, "I was just kidding. How old is your second brother?"
Xia Jiang also nodded, "Don't listen to your third brother's nonsense. I don't even know who that girl is. Besides, I really don't miss her. I just wonder if Uncle Ling will go back with us."
"Uncle Ling, it shouldn't happen, right?" Xia Zhiliao said.
He is Wen Heng's man, how can he stay in the countryside with them forever?
Mustn't he protect his master?
"Where is my brother? Where did he go?" Xia Zhiliao asked again.
"He went out early in the morning." Xia Hai said again: "How about you go look for him outside."
"No, no!"
Xia Hai felt guilty when being looked at by the little sister, "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Xia Jiang's heart almost jumped out of his throat, "We actually..."
"We are actually hiding something from you."
Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "I guessed it right. Third brother, what are you hiding from me?"
Xia Jiang looked at his sister nervously. Although he was older than Xia Hai, Xia Hai reacted much faster at this time. "It's nothing, actually. Let's discuss where to go. We may not come to Beijing in the future. Do you want to go?"
Xia Zhiliao didn't want to go. The capital city was very lively, but it was far inferior to her previous life.
But she was also worried that her brothers would cause trouble.
Although she is small, she really cares about this family.
"Then I'll go."
"Then go and get ready and tell Dad. If he doesn't agree, we won't dare take you out."
After Xia Zhiliao left, the two brothers slumped on the stools.
"Brother, did you hear what my sister said?"
Xia Jiang nodded, "I heard it. I was scared to death just now."
"If that girl is really Lu Seyan, you have to stay away from her. And you know who Lu Seyan is, right? Her mother is a bad woman."
Xia Jiang nodded, "You don't have to tell me, I know it naturally, but you are the one who is talking too much. I don't even remember her, but you insisted on mentioning her."
"If I hadn't told you, how would you know that you would fall into the hands of that girl? You better be careful."
Xia Jiang felt that there was some truth in this, so he stopped blaming his brother for being too talkative.
When Xia Jinjun heard that her daughter was going out to play with her three sons, she was extremely worried. Her sons were careless, so what if they lost their daughter again?
No, he has to go since he has nothing to do anyway.
