Chapter 112, Mother's Peach Blossoms Bloom
The affairs of the Princess's Mansion were settled.
The guests left.
Liu Wan returned to her house with her child, and saw someone waiting at the door for a long time.
It was Mother Qing.
She asked Panchun to take the child in first, and then pulled Mother Qing to the wall to ask.
Mother Qing handed her a letter, "The Ninth Prince wants to talk to you!"
Liu Wan was a little embarrassed, but she didn't refuse.
The Ninth Prince had helped her so many times, and she hadn't found a chance to thank him yet!
Mother Qing also said, "Recently, the Xie Mansion has been in chaos. The eldest master suspected that the eldest mistress was cheating on him, and the two have not spoken to each other. Also, the fourth master is getting weaker and weaker, and I don't know what's going on..."
"Now only the fourth mistress who manages the affairs has some energy. The eldest master even asked her to pay for the repair of the gate of the Xie Mansion. The fourth mistress took the opportunity to take away the jewelry shop's account book, and then she was willing to pay for the repair!"
Liu Wan naturally knew that Zhong had a ulterior motive.
She wanted to find a loophole in the jewelry shop's account book and destroy the Xie Mansion in one fell swoop!
She nodded, "Don't tell anyone about this, you should be careful in the Xie Mansion!"
"Okay."
Mother Qing nodded.
In fact, she hadn't told Liu Wan that the ninth prince was going to get her out of the Xie Mansion.
But because the indenture of her old best friend was still in the hands of the old lady, she rejected the Ninth Prince and stayed to accompany her old best friend.
She would not leave until her old best friend redeemed herself and was about to leave!
Liu Wan picked out some gifts and came to a courtyard according to the agreed location.
Jing Wu took her around and finally met Xia Siheng in the depths of the courtyard.
She put down the gifts and knelt down to thank Xia Siheng.
Xia Siheng stretched out his hand to hold her arm, with a faint smile in his eyes, "No need, I said at the beginning that this was a favor from Madam Susu, and I will not break my promise!"
"Now that you have divorced, what are your plans for the future?"
Liu Wan looked at the big hand on her arm, and the tip of her ears felt a little hot.
Xia Siheng let go of her hand and asked her to sit down.
Liu Wan said, "Divorced women either become nuns or live alone until old age. I only have one wish, which is to accompany Wanwan to grow up safely."
"It's not easy to raise a child alone, you are quite open-minded." Xia Siheng brewed a cup of tea and poured her a cup personally.
Xia Siheng continued to probe, "However, you should also listen to the child's thoughts. I'm afraid Xie Jinan has never accompanied Wanwan. Wanwan told me today that she wants a new father who is good to her mother."
Liu Wan's hand holding the teacup trembled.
She raised her eyes to look at Xia Siheng and spoke slowly, "Wanwan didn't tell me, but I have no plan for this."
"She is a smart child. She must be afraid that you are too shy." Xia Siheng raised his eyebrows and saw that she didn't think so.
Changing the subject, "By the way, I heard from Zhao'er that you are going to find a great martial arts master for Zixing?"
"Yes, Zixing has been interested in martial arts since he was adopted by me. The teacher at Xie Mansion also praised him for his talent, but he has made a lot of progress this year. It's time to find a great master to teach him martial arts!"
Liu Wan replied.
Xia Siheng took a sip of tea, and suddenly, his eyes became sharp, and he threw the teacup in his hand to the top of the tree.
"Whoosh!" It passed by in the wind.
The teacup was completely embedded in the trunk of the tree. The tree was shaking, and the powerful internal force made the leaves rustle. A dark guard fell from the tree and fell flat on his face.
Liu Wan was shocked.
This tree is only a few dozen feet away from here, but the prince's skills are so deep!
Xia Siheng smiled slightly, "With my skills, am I qualified to teach Zixing?"
Liu Wan was flattered!
She couldn't believe what she heard!
The Ninth Prince wanted to teach Zixing martial arts in person?
"No, the prince is of noble status, how can I..." Liu Wan hurriedly refused.
A dignified prince, a martial arts master, how could the royal family lose face if it got out! Ling Qi said
, "To be honest, I saw Zixing practicing martial arts yesterday and I admire him. If he can learn well and stand out, he can be used by me and his future will be fine."
Xia Siheng's eyes were firm, and he continued, "Besides, there is no master in the whole capital who is better than me in martial arts."
Liu Wan was shocked.
She knew that the Ninth Prince was good at martial arts, but she never thought he would be so amazing. He is the
best in the capital and has won the hearts of the people.
If he comes to teach Zixing, Zixing will definitely have a future.
Seeing that she was still hesitating, Xia Siheng took advantage of the situation and said, "This king really admires Zixing's talent. You don't have to worry about anything. This king will train him secretly and no one will know about it."
Liu Wan nodded and agreed.
She stood up and was about to salute Xia Siheng again.
Xia Siheng moved faster than her and held her with his hand. "You don't have to do this in the future. We have known each other for many years. Just treat this king as a friend!"
The daughter taught by the Ministry of Rites really never forgets to be polite.
Xia Siheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It seems that if you want to pursue her, you have to let her not be bound by etiquette. It's really not easy!

Liu Wan returned to the new house and saw Liu Ye and Xia Zhao personally directing people to dig a pit in her front yard.
Xia Wanwan sat on the ground clapping her hands with her small body, smiling from ear to ear.
[That's great, that's great, my aunt gave me the big coral. I have a big coral at home, so I can bury myself in it and practice every day! ]
[One day sooner or later, I will find the male lead to fight! ]
Xia Zhao came up with her full-mooned daughter in her arms, "Sister, you're back. I heard from the Empress Dowager that Wanwan likes this big coral the most, so I asked someone to dig it up for you. This is a gift to Wanwan as a relic!"
Liu Wan was really embarrassed.
But Xia Zhao didn't give her a chance to refuse, and directly asked people to transport the coral trees.
Liu Ye also instructed people to plant them.
This made Liu Wan feel an unreal surprise. Since the divorce, Zixing had a future, Wanwan seemed to have been favored, and life was getting better and better.
What she didn't know was that there were even bigger surprises yet.

In the palace.
Xia Siheng came to the Queen Mother's residence, and he and the Emperor told the Queen Mother about Liu Wan's affairs.
"Grandmother, don't worry about Liu Wan's marriage. It will be bad if she makes a joke again in the future." The Queen Mother
snorted coldly and turned her head proudly.
"How could I know that you and Liu Wan had such a relationship? If I had known, I would not have persuaded Huier to marry her. And, Wanwan is your daughter, and you all know it, but you didn't tell me!"
The Queen Mother slapped the Emperor's forehead!
Even the old woman, Concubine Ling, knew it, but she didn't know.
"Okay, Emperor, no wonder you don't want to make Wanwan a princess. It
turns out that you isolate me!" The Queen Mother became more and more angry as she spoke, and she pinched the Emperor's ears.
The Emperor begged for mercy, "Mother, calm down. Since the Ninth Prince has agreed, I have decided to give Wanwan the title!"
"When, when will she become a princess?" The Queen Mother asked anxiously.
"When Jing'an Hou comes back, she will be made a princess. The main goal is to make the Xie family regret it!" The Emperor replied.
The Queen Mother also thought this was a good idea, and she let go of her hand with satisfaction.
At this time.
The maid outside the door reported, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Ninth Prince, the eldest prince wants to see you!" The
eldest prince came in excitedly, and he kowtowed to the Queen Mother and said,
"Grandmother, I have made up my mind. I am willing to marry Liu Wan as my prince's consort!"
