Chapter 172, Showing Off Wife and Children

Xia Siheng told the emperor about the Happy Powder in the study room.

And the clues that he suspected the Xie family.

The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that the kidnapping of Minister Liu twenty years ago was not accidental. Maybe he heard some rumors and asked to go to Xujia Village to rescue the princess. The purpose may be Minister Liu!"

"That's why I suspect that Happy Powder is inseparable from Xie Jian. He committed the crime that year to stop Minister Liu, protect himself, and ask for a favor from Minister Liu. If he really killed the Xu family, the princess might be grateful to him."

"Unfortunately, he is too greedy."

Xia Siheng sat next to the emperor and analyzed them one by one.

The emperor couldn't help but feel sorry for Minister Liu's family. "At that time, Minister Liu delayed the opportunity and was fined by my father. He was kidnapped, but he owed someone a life-saving grace and sent his daughter to the fire pit."

In this matter, only Minister Liu was hurt.

"Now that the truth is out, I will issue an order to give Minister Liu some comfort and compensation." The emperor made a decision.

"My brother is wise, but don't act rashly about the happy powder." Xia Siheng said.

"Why?" The emperor wrinkled his familiar Sichuan character.

"Liu Wan and I have analyzed the accounts of the Xie family. In recent years, the imperial court has not stepped up its crackdown, but the Xie family's accounts are in a terrible deficit. If Xie Jian really does such a business, why is the Xie family losing so much money?"

It was this point that Xia Siheng couldn't understand after thinking about it for a long time.

Tomorrow night is the time to trade goods at the dock. He must be fully prepared and not act rashly.

The things behind this must be understood.

The emperor stroked his beard,

"Hiss~ what you said makes sense, that thing is only one or two thousand gold, Xie Jian is not so stupid, he will make more and more losses, even if he loses, he will not let go, there must be a cat behind this!"

"Ninth brother, this matter should be sent to the Purple Gold Guards left to you by the late emperor."

The Purple Gold Guards were a secret guard to protect the royal family formed by the late emperor who had previously collected martial arts masters from everywhere.

It can be said that the martial arts of this secret guard are unmatched in the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

This secret guard is now divided into two teams, one for the ninth brother and one for him.

The two of them, with a deep brotherly love, are the pillars of the royal family and the Great Xia Dynasty.

Xia Siheng nodded, "Don't worry, even if the Purple Gold Guards are not used, your younger brother can still take them down!"

The people who transport the goods are few and elite, but he has been able to sit on the government for so many years, so it is not that there is no one available.

However, the most useful thing is the baby born to him and Liu Wan. If it weren't for her, the Xie family and the eldest princess would not have been caught last night.

Thinking of Wanwan, Xia Siheng's mouth curled up.

"Royal brother, I won't say much about the other ministers. Wanwan and the child's mother are waiting for me in the palace. I'll take my leave!"

The emperor was stunned.

He knew that the ninth prince was quick to act, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

He took the person to live in the palace?

Oh, he was showing off to him.

It really is.

The emperor held his forehead helplessly and smiled bitterly. He slowly took out a small bronze mirror and admired himself for a while. He

said to Eunuch Yu, "What do you think, who is more handsome, the ninth prince or me?"

Eunuch Yu's forehead jumped. Facing this kind of question, he was already familiar with it.

"Of course you are handsome. He has a wife now, but you already have one. You are more handsome than him!"

"Oh, yes. That makes sense, haha." The emperor was in a very good mood. He patted Eunuch Yu on the shoulder and left the study.

"Hehe, I am going to find the empress too. The prince and the empress are also waiting for me in Fengluan Palace, hehe."

The ninth prince is not the only one who has a wife and a child.

I don't know what he is showing off in front of me.

When the emperor walked out, he raised his head high.

In the Ninth Prince's Mansion, Liu Wan accompanied the child to rest for half a day. When she woke up, it was just afternoon.

"Mother... Mother... How's the melon?" Xia Wanwan woke up and yawned, rubbing her eyes with her little fleshy hands. Ling Lu said,

"Oh, I was so sleepy after eating the melon that I fell asleep. I don't know what happened next."

"Huh? Where is this place? It's so strange."

She suddenly felt a chill on her face and looked around. It didn't look like her home.

"Wait until Uncle Xia comes back and let him tell us." Liu Wan smiled slightly, picked up the little guy and was about to change her clothes.

Xia Wanwan pointed to the room and asked, "Here, Uncle Xia's house?"

Liu Wan nodded, "Here you can eat the fastest and freshest melon."

"Wow, Wanwan likes it..." Xia Wanwan nodded fiercely. She likes to eat fresh melon the most.

As she spoke, her stomach growled. She blinked and looked at her mother.

"Mom will wash your face first, and then we can eat later." Liu Wan said.

The housekeeper specially arranged a housekeeper to serve her outside.

Liu Wan asked the housekeeper to prepare warm water for washing her face.

After a while, a figure pushed the door open and came in.

"Just put the water on the table." Liu Wan instructed. She was still combing the child's hair, and she would tie two beautiful pigtails later.

The maid did not reply to her. She put down the things and left.

The tall figure was getting closer and closer.

Liu Wan turned her head and met Xia Siheng's gentle gaze. She was a little evasive and her ears were slightly hot.

"When did the prince come back? You didn't even let anyone know."

"I don't pay much attention to these things in the palace. I came here just after I came back. I thought you must be hungry."

Xia Siheng smiled as if he was teasing her.

"Uncle Xia!"

Before Liu Wan could open her mouth, the little guy in her arms babbled and reached out, asking Xia Siheng to hold him.

Xia Siheng lifted up the little guy and kissed her on her round face, "Wanwan missed Uncle Xia the first time she saw me."

Xia Wanwan wiped the place where he kissed with her little hand, "I don't like it, men kissing me."

Xia Siheng: ······

"Then you want me to hug you?" His tone was a little aggrieved.

"You... misunderstood... and were being sentimental. I just... wanted to have some fun..." Xia Wanwan pouted and snorted.

"Oh, it turns out that I was being sentimental. Forget it. Alas."

Xia Siheng's face was full of wounds, and he returned the little guy to Liu Wan.

He looked hurt, but in fact he was happier than anyone else. His

daughter at least has the idea of ​​keeping a distance from the opposite sex, and she really can't let anyone kiss her casually.

"I brought back the news, but if Wanwan won't let me kiss her, I won't say anything!"

He sat down next to Liu Wan and turned his face away deliberately, not letting Xia Wanwan see him.

Xia Wanwan sucked her thumb and whispered, "Uncle Xia... what's wrong?"

"Uncle Xia... what do you say?"

"Uncle Xia?"

She was acting cute, but Uncle Xia didn't even turn his head to look at her.

[So stingy, Uncle Xia is so stingy.]

[If he doesn't let him kiss or hug her, he gets angry and doesn't even talk about melons.]

[Oh my God, what kind of script is this? I'm only one year old and they want me to sell my body!]

Xia Siheng turned his face away, and couldn't suppress the corners of his mouth.

His daughter, how cute.

Liu Wan felt helpless and amused after hearing this. She nodded the little guy's head, "Uncle Xia is not angry. Mom will wipe your face first, and we can talk while we eat, okay?"

Xia Wanwan handed her thumb to her mother after sucking it, "Mom... is the easiest to mess with!"

Liu Wan smiled and stood up, stuffing the little baby into Xia Siheng's hands.

Xia Wanwan: !!!

[Okay, I'm back again.]

Xia Siheng couldn't help but laughed softly. When Liu Wan went to get a towel

, he rubbed the little boy's face and asked quietly, "Wanwan, how do you want to deal with Xie Huaishan?"
