"Is there any need to say that?"
Xia Zhiliao turned his face away guiltily. This kid is very cunning, she must not let him see anything.
"Don't you need to go back to the palace?"
"There's still time for a meal."
Well, I can’t escape this hotpot.
Although the weather is hot and the meat is not frozen and is not easy to cut, there is no need to worry as Wei Jianqing is such a good knife skill.
Wei Jianqing didn't mind using a butcher knife to kill the chicken. He happily cut a lot of meat. He was very unceremonious when eating it, and ate meat more than anyone else.
Xia Jiang was the first to tell Wen Heng about his military service, and he still had great admiration and gratitude for Wen Heng.
[I am not worried about my second brother staying in the capital, as long as he can avoid Lu Seyan.]
Xia Jiang's face turned slightly red. How could he tell the little sister? His mind was full of thoughts about the war. He didn't even have time to study military books, so how could he have the energy to see the little girl?
Wen Heng patted his shoulder. Although he was speaking to Xia Jiang, he was actually speaking to Xia Zhiliao. "It's a good thing for you to stay in the capital, but people's hearts are unpredictable. You must be careful at all times. If you are unsure about anything, you can come to me."
Xia Jiang nodded, "With you here, my parents... and my sister won't worry anymore."
Xia Hai yelled in dissatisfaction, "Second brother, you're talking as if my brother and I don't worry about you."
Xia He nodded, he was also worried.
"If I wasn't afraid that my parents would miss me, I would have stayed with you."
Xia Zhiliao ruthlessly exposed her, "Third brother, isn't it because being a soldier is too hard? Are you afraid of being tired?"
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. There is no soldier as young as me."
Everyone knows Xia Hai's personality, he is definitely not suitable.
Wen Heng was about to leave, and Wei Jianqing hurriedly stood up, "Your Highness, I'll see you off."
Wen Heng knew that Xia Zhiliao didn't like people around her to get too close to him, for fear of being implicated by him.
"No need."
Wei Jianqing disagreed, "I still have to give it to you. My father's matter was dealt with by you last time. I don't know how to repay you."
[Sixth Uncle, please don't get carried away and say you'll follow His Highness. Let's keep things simple.]
"You're welcome. I didn't help much. General Wei is still the bravest and most skilled fighter."
The more he did this, the more grateful Wei Jianqing was to him.
After all, to him, the most important person in the world is his father.
Saving his father made him more grateful than saving himself, so the feelings are naturally different.
But Wei Jianqing is not the kind of person who cannot distinguish right from wrong, so Xia Zhiliao feels a little more relieved.
That day, Xia Zhiliao came back from the princess's mansion, holding a lot of things. There was everything, all given by Princess Yi Yang.
"Dad, Mom, come and see, the princess gave me many good things."
However, when she entered the room, she found a woman sitting there, "Why is it you?"
Bai Huiru's eyes lit up and she thought to herself that she had come to the right place. This girl Xia Zhiliao was really lucky to have gained the trust of the princess.
Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes at her, then walked straight towards Xia Chenshi, leaned beside her, and put all the things on the table.
"Look, what a great kid this is, Brother Jinjun. What I mean is that we will all be in the capital from now on, so we can take care of each other."
Xia Zhiliao felt numb all over when he heard her say "Brother Jinjun". What did this woman want to do?
Are you trying to seduce her dad again?
"You misunderstood. We are not staying in the capital. We have to go back." Xia Jinjun said in a deep voice.
Bai Huiru widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "Not in Beijing? Why? Beijing is so great, why are you so depressed?"
Xia Jinjun frowned and didn't want to continue talking to her.
Xia Zhiliao did not expect that Bai Huiru would come here on her own, but her thoughts were not difficult to guess.
This woman didn't have much brains to begin with. The fact that Lu Seyan grew up to be so smart must be a genetic mutation.
"Sister-in-law, you're not still angry, are you?"
Xia Chen smiled faintly and did not answer.
"I don't have any other intentions. I am now the mistress of the Hou Mansion. The huge Hou Mansion is enough to keep me busy. I don't have any other thoughts. I just came here to say hello because we are from the same hometown."
[Are you kidding me? Either it's because of my father, or it's because of my current relationship with the Queen Mother and the Princess. Anyway, the weasel is paying New Year's greetings to the chicken, and he has no good intentions. ]
Xia Chenshi also thought so. She didn't kick the man out, which showed that she had a good temper.
This guy really has the nerve to say that. She has actually seen the mistress of the Hou Mansion.
But she was too lazy to expose her.
"If you have nothing else to do, please go back." Xia Chen said in a deep voice, "This is not our home, so it is inconvenient to keep guests here."
Xia Jinjun nodded, "Yes, please."
Bai Huiru looked at Xia Jinjun and said, "Think about it carefully. I am really doing this for our own good."
"No need."
Xia Jinjun refused straightforwardly.
Bai Huiru left reluctantly, but she couldn't take her eyes off the pile of things that Xia Zhiliao brought back.
"How annoying." Xia Zhiliao rolled his eyes.
Xia Chen patted her head and said, "Okay, let me see what treasure you brought back."
"There are so many, Mom, please look." Xia Zhiliao opened them one by one as if he were presenting treasures.
"The princess is so kind to you that she is willing to give you such a valuable thing."
The jewellery in here are all very valuable, even Xia Chenshi, who doesn't know much, can see that.
"It's so expensive, isn't it a bad idea?" Xia Jinjun said.
He was happy that his daughter was loved by the princess, but he didn't want people to say that they had other intentions.
"These were all given to me by the princess. I didn't want them, but she insisted on giving them to me. She would be angry if I didn't take them." Xia Zhiliao said seriously.
This is indeed the case.
"Dad, Mom, Bai Huiru has bad intentions. Don't be fooled by her. Stay away from her."
Xia Zhiliao thought about it, but still felt worried. She was afraid that her father would become confused, and even more afraid that her mother would not remember a few sweet words she said.
"You don't need to tell me this. Dad knows it too. How could I not know who she is? No, don't worry. We agreed to return to the capital after you finish your work here."
Xia Chen smiled and nodded. She had no chance to meet that woman anyway.
She was a little surprised that she came to her today.
"I let her in just to see what she was up to. Now I understand."
"Do you understand?" Xia Jinjun was a little surprised.
"Why, can't I see clearly? If you ask me, it's because our Zhiliao has gained face in front of the Queen Mother and the Princess. It's true that she wants to help each other, but it's also true that she's taking advantage of our Zhiliao."
"Yes, mother, you are really smart."
Xia Chen smiled slightly and looked at Xia Jinjun proudly.
At this glance, Xia Jinjun's soul was half hooked.
