Xia Chen bit her head lightly. She really knew nothing.
Xia Jinjun saw that Xie Heng had an extraordinary demeanor, so he thought of asking him. He didn't know, so they might be overthinking.
He just gave a general account of Xia Chen's situation. Xie Heng's analysis was almost the same as Xia Zhiliao's. He also felt that such a young child from an ordinary family would not be exposed to top-level embroidery skills.
Either they come from a wealthy family, or someone in their family is engaged in this field.
"But it's still difficult to determine my aunt's background based on just these," Xie Heng said seriously.
[You don't even need to tell me that.]
Xie Heng looked over and Xia Zhiliao just smiled at him perfunctorily.
This girl really faces forward when she needs someone, but immediately changes her face when she finds out she is no longer needed.
The corners of Xie Heng's lips curled up slightly.
"Brother, if you don't know, can you help me find out?" Xia Zhiliao said deliberately.
Xie Heng nodded gently, "Okay."
[You agreed so readily. Who knows if you will go and ask about it after you return to the capital? Oh, I guess I can't count on you anymore. ]
When they heard the word "Beijing", both Xia Jinjun and Xia Jinxiu felt a little moved.
This young master is from the capital!
Then... maybe I can be of help in the future.
Xie Heng looked at Xia Zhiliao and deliberately asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Why did you tell me if you didn't believe me?"
Xie Heng was very surprised. It seemed that this girl was too vigilant and defensive towards him.
He didn't do anything bad to her.
Xia Zhiliao smiled and shook his head, saying hypocritically: "No, how could that be? Brother looks like a good person."
[Bullshit, big-tailed wolf, I don't trust you, let's not get involved, I don't want to be implicated by you. ]
Xie Heng was very puzzled. How did she know that she would lose?
This girl is really unpleasant and has a very bad mouth.
The meal was almost over, and the Xia family was still very polite. After Xie Heng put down his chopsticks, they also put down their chopsticks.
Xia Zhiliao felt a little unhappy when he saw that Xie Heng didn't move.
[Why hasn't he left yet? Does he still want to live in my house? No way! ]
Xie Heng looked at the situation at the Xia family. He naturally didn't want to stay and squeeze with others, especially since the yard was a bit shabby. However, he just wanted to tease the child.
"It's getting late. If I go back to town now, I don't know if there will be an inn to stay in!"
"Yes, definitely!" Xia Zhiliao answered quickly.
[Humph, you want to live in my house? No way. If you dare to live in my house, I will put fleas, lice, and itching powder in your bed.]
"Well... if Mr. Xie doesn't mind... you can live in my humble abode..."
Xia Zhiliao grabbed his father's arm, and his eyes made him ignore the people around him, as if everyone was blind.
The Xia family was really puzzled.
Mr. Xie is a gentle and polite man, and he has helped the little girl before, so why doesn't the little girl seem happy at all when she sees him?
Xie Heng looked at Xia Zhiliao and said, "I would like to stay, but I wonder if Sister Zhiliao..."
"hey-hey……"
[Go away, go away, you are not welcome in my home! ]
Xia Zhiliao said with a stiff face: "If brother doesn't mind that my house is dirty and messy, there is no clean quilt, it leaks in the middle of the night, and my feet are frozen... Of course it's fine!"
[Hurry up, hurry up, do you hear me? Go to your inn. ]
Xie Heng curled his lips, "In that case, then I will..."
[It’s over, it’s over, no, don’t live in my house. ]
Just when Xia Zhiliao thought Xie Heng was shamelessly planning to stay, Xie Heng said, "I'd better go back to town. I'll pick up Sister Zhiliao tomorrow morning!"
[Huh, you are smart, kid.]
Xia Zhiliao shook his head and said, "No need to answer it. I'm going to town with my fourth uncle."
[Don't come to my house, don't get involved in my house, and don't have any contact with my family members. ]
After hearing this, Xie Heng thought that she was afraid that he would do something to her family.
After Xie Heng left, Xia Zhiliao let out a long sigh.
Xia Jinjun was very puzzled. What was going on with the little girl's two faces?
He planned to get to the bottom of it.
"Zhiliao, Mr. Xie seems to be a nice guy, why do I feel like you seem to hate him?"
Xia Zhiliao shook his head, his voice hoarse, "Really? No, didn't I let him live in our house? He didn't want to live there, he must be dissatisfied with our poor conditions."
[My father, you can see that I don’t like him, but you still try hard to keep him. ]
Xia Jinjun cleared his throat, not wanting to upset his little girl, "Dad... Dad is just being polite. He looks like a young master from a wealthy family, so he definitely won't be used to living in our house."
"Come to think of it, I don't know what that young man's family does?" Xia Jinxiu asked curiously.
"I don't know either." Xia Zhiliao shook his head and decided not to tell his family.
[What could he be? He is the emperor's illegitimate son! ]
The emperor's illegitimate son?
Isn’t he also a prince?
After Xia Jinjun reacted, he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately he held on to the table in time.
Xia Jinxiu also took a deep breath. Master Xie is a prince, so her entry into the palace... won't be accomplished soon, right?
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Xia Zhiliao asked with concern. He didn't know whether his father was scared or happy.
Xia Chenshi didn't react to this. She didn't care who he was. She just looked at Xia Jinjun nervously, "What's wrong?"
Xia Jinjun waved his hands, "It's okay, it's okay, I just didn't stand firmly."
His daughter is related to the emperor's son. If he becomes an official in the court in the future, wouldn't he have a backer?
Wow, my little girl is such a lucky star.
If Xia Zhiliao knew what her father and aunt were planning, she would cry.
The next morning, Xia Zhiliao was pulled out of bed by her father. It was such a cold day and she really didn't want to be separated from the bed.
"Dad~"
"Be good, Zhiliao. Don't make Master Xie wait anxiously. His problems must be big ones."
Xia Zhiliao was put on his clothes in a daze. Maybe he got up too early and had no appetite for breakfast.
She yawned and was about to go out when Xia Jinxiu stopped her.
"Aunt~" Xia Zhiliao narrowed his eyes slightly. His voice was better than yesterday, hoarse with a hint of laziness.
Xia Jinxiu wrapped her clothes around her and smoothed her hair. "Today I plan to make the roast duck you mentioned. Mr. Xie is a worldly-wise man. Invite him home to have a taste."
Xia Zhiliao yawned halfway, but was frightened and stopped, "Aunt...what did you ask him to do? I just want to taste it."
Xia Jinxiu looked at her with a frown, then said with a smile, "Child, more people means more ideas, so be obedient."
"He...he wild boar can't eat fine bran, what does he know?" Xia Zhiliao said with a wry smile.
[It’s over, it’s over. Could it be that my aunt has fallen for Xie Heng? ]
