"Just such a little girl? She's not even as tall as the table!" Jiang Xiaoying found it hard to accept.
If Xia Zhiliao heard this, she would be furious. How could she not be as tall as the door frame?
"Don't judge a book by its cover," said Prime Minister Jiang.
Jiang Xiaoying didn't like to hear this. Her father said the same thing when he asked her to marry that man. He wasn't short, but he wasn't handsome either.
She really couldn't understand how a man like this could achieve anything. Wouldn't the emperor feel disgusted when he saw him?
But it is difficult to disobey my father's orders.
"Dad, you said that Shen Tongren should not be judged by appearance, after all, he is a top scholar with real talent and knowledge, but that girl, how old is she? Don't scare me."
"I'm trying to scare you? Haha!" Prime Minister Jiang sneered, "Otherwise, if you had already revealed your family background, how would that family have the guts to fight your people?"
"That's them... they don't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!" Jiang Xiaoying had actually begun to feel guilty, but she still had hope.
"You!" Prime Minister Jiang pointed at her, feeling quite helpless. He had been smart all his life, but how could he have given birth to such a stupid daughter.
"Dad, who would have thought of that? Even if what you said is right, they beat up my people. I was embarrassed, so they were also wrong."
"Isn't it you who is provoking me?" asked Prime Minister Jiang.
He knew his daughter very well. Whenever there was a problem, it was definitely caused by her.
"Dad, I am your daughter!"
Jiang Xiaoying complained.
"If you were not my daughter, why would I be wasting my breath talking to you here?" Prime Minister Jiang said in a deep voice.
"That's the worst that can happen, so just forget it. Besides, where does their family get so much face? The Queen Mother and General Wei are protecting them?" Jiang Xiaoying said unwillingly.
"They are just a family from the countryside, they are nothing." Jiang Xiaoying said.
"Forget it?" Prime Minister Jiang took a deep breath, "We can't just let this go."
Jiang Xiaoying smiled proudly, "I knew you still loved me, Dad, so how are you going to deal with them?"
Prime Minister Jiang rolled his eyes at her and said, "It's not me who does anything to them, but you have to go and apologize to them."
"Go to apologize?" Jiang Xiaoying looked at her father for a long time. She really thought she had heard it wrong.
"Dad~"
"What father? If you hadn't caused trouble, this wouldn't have happened!"
"You are the Prime Minister. How could you think that your daughter would apologize to such a person? It is so shameful!"
"It's precisely because I am the prime minister. If I were not the prime minister, it would be fine. How many eyes would be watching me?" Prime Minister Jiang is very cautious and it is not entirely by luck that he has come to where he is today.
These are done for outsiders to see, just for show.
But Jiang Xiaoying didn't think so. She only cared about her own face. If she really went to apologize in person, she would be so embarrassed.
"I won't go!" Jiang Xiaoying refused. "Then how can I stay in the capital? It's embarrassing enough for me to marry a man like that. Everyone knows that I'm arrogant. You...are you still my real father?"
Prime Minister Jiang said coldly: "You must go."
"Then I'd rather die."
"It's better to die. At least you don't have to get into trouble again and have me clean it up for you."
Of course he understood his daughter. How could she bear to die?
Jiang Xiaoying immediately ran out crying.
But she couldn't refuse what her father decided.
So, the next day, Prime Minister Jiang brought Jiang Xiaoying and generous gifts to the general's mansion to apologize.
"Prime Minister, please wait a moment. I will go inside to report."
Jiang Xiaoying curled her lips. This old guy Wei Rong was too arrogant. He had already retired from the army, but he still made such a big fuss.
He actually let his father wait at the door.
Soon, the servant came out and said, "Master Prime Minister, my master said that the incident has already happened and Miss Xia has not suffered any loss, so let it go and don't care about it."
After Jiang Xiaoying heard this, she was so angry that she almost stamped her feet. They didn't even care about it. How could they have the face to do that?
"Dad, since that's the case, let's go." Jiang Xiaoying was eager to leave.
However, Prime Minister Jiang wanted to let all the officials in the capital know that he was strict with himself and would never cover up for his daughter.
It's just wanting a good reputation.
"General Wei said that, he is still angry with my Xiaoying. Look, I brought her here. If he wants to beat or scold her, just listen to your opinion. You should go again."
How could the servant dare to say no, and he trotted back.
Hearing that Prime Minister Jiang refused to leave, General Wei smiled coldly and said, "He must have hit a hard bone, so he did this. This old fox is playing tricks on me. Haha, well, since he wants to come in, then let him come in."
Xia Jinjun glanced at his little daughter and found that she didn't think much about it.
What else could Xia Zhiliao think?
Dad has met Jiang Xiaoying twice, and neither of them was like in the novel, which means he has gone astray, so she feels relieved.
"Uncle Wei, will this cause you trouble?" Xia Jinjun asked, "We were too reckless yesterday. I've already scolded those three brats."
"Hey~ Why are you scolding me? You should be praising me. What's wrong with the children protecting their parents and sister? Jinjun, although you are a scholar, you are also very brave at critical moments. Don't be afraid. I am here for you. He can't do anything to you."
[What can we do? Old foxes are the best at pretending. Besides, we have someone behind us now, so we don’t have to be afraid.]
The matter has already come to light. If something really happens to them, it must be the work of the Prime Minister's Office. Therefore, Xia Zhiliao is really not afraid at all.
Now, if he bumps into something or falls while walking, people will think it is revenge from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Old fox Jiang, how dare you move?
He was well aware of this, so he went to apologize, just to pretend and not to tarnish his reputation.
"Then should we... step aside for a while?" Xia Chen asked, and she had already stood up and was about to leave.
"No need." Xia Jinjun said: "Since Uncle Wei said so, and the matter is related to you, it's okay for you to stay here."
"That's right, wife Jinjun, you should stay and see what the girl from the Jiang family has to say."
Soon, Prime Minister Jiang brought his daughter into the general's mansion. However, Jiang Xiaoying complained in her heart all the way, with her lips curled up to her ears.
"Prime Minister, this way, my master is waiting for you inside."
Prime Minister Jiang nodded and looked back at his daughter with a warning look.
Jiang Xiaoying rolled her eyes and followed in reluctantly.
Prime Minister Jiang sighed. How could he be willing to do this? It was all because of her that he was implicated.
After entering the door, Prime Minister Jiang exchanged greetings with General Wei, and then Prime Minister Jiang's eyes fell on the family of three.
