Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang hurriedly bowed and said with a grin, "Your Highness Prince An, I dare not respond to your call of aunt.
Speaking of those vegetables, our county lady’s idea is the best!
She actually came up with a good idea that can make the vegetables that grow in summer grow in winter!
When she is done, Your Majesty will go and ask the County Lady!"
Summer vegetables, grown in winter?
Qi Nancheng was puzzled. How could this be possible? This was unheard of!
Although he was born into a royal family, he could usually eat fresh fruits and vegetables, but those fruits and vegetables were ripe and stored in ice cellars.
Qi Nancheng really wanted to ask a few more questions, but Aunt Zhang clearly didn't want to say a word to outsiders.
He concealed his thoughts and just stood in the yard, staring quietly at the closed wooden door!
Half an hour later, the door was pushed open from the inside.
Si Jinxing came out with Si Jinheng, who had gauze wrapped around his face.
However, when he came out, the people waiting in the yard were all filled with surprise!
I saw that Si Jinheng's shaved head was now covered with black hair. The upper part was tied on the top of his head with a small silver crown, and the loose hair below was scattered casually behind him.
Aunt Zhang came forward with a smile and said, "It turns out that he is not a little monk, but a handsome young man!"
Si Jinxing glanced at Qi Nancheng and said to Aunt Zhang, "Aunt, go and do your work."
Aunt Zhang knew that the boss had something to discuss, so she said:
"Okay, I just happened to be going to the kitchen to prepare lunch, so you can go ahead and do your thing first."
After seeing Aunt Zhang leave, Si Jinxing brought a few people into the main house.
After Qi Nanyan took his seat, Si Jinxing turned to look at Si Jinheng and said:
"Heng'er, don't be afraid. We are all safe now. Tell me what happened since you were kidnapped yesterday."
When Si Jinheng thought about what happened yesterday, he was still a little frightened. He clenched his fist slightly and said:
"Yesterday after school, I had not gone far when I saw a servant from the mansion coming to look for me.
The man looked very flustered and said that his father had been out for the whole day. He was afraid that something had happened.
I thought that since there were only women in the house now, it was appropriate for the servant to look for me, so I went to the street with my servant to look for my father.
I don’t know how, but as we walked, the three of us got separated!
Now that I think about it, the servant who brought the news looked very unfamiliar. I had never seen him before. He was just wearing the clothes of a servant in the government office.
Besides, how could a man of my father's age get lost? Even if he did, he should have reported it to the police!
Why did you come to me, a little boy? And why did my servant, who never left my side, leave me and go away?
This was really unusual, but it was getting dark and I was anxious, so I didn't think much about it.
Afterwards, in a remote alley, the criminal put me in a sack and tied me to a carriage.
I was in the carriage, my face covered, and I didn't know which direction we were going.
I just felt that the carriage was running very fast and shaking violently. It ran for more than two hours before it stopped.
Only then did I realize that the three men took me into an inn.
Last night, while they were sleeping, I knocked over the burning candle and tried to escape in the chaos.
But the villain suddenly had murderous intentions, and while he was dodging, he was cut on the face by him.
It was at this time that Prince An came in and rescued me."
Si Jinxing listened to Si Jinheng's brief words, but felt extremely nervous!
If the villain's knife had gone a little lower and cut Si Jinheng's neck, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
She waved for Si Jinheng to sit next to her, patted his shoulder, whispered a few words of comfort, then looked at Qi Nancheng and said:
"This time, it's all thanks to Prince An for coming to our aid! Thank you so much!
Otherwise, I’m afraid the child would die before I reach the ferry!
If you need my help in the future, just let me know.
Although I am of little influence and may not be able to help the prince, I, Si Jinxing, will remember this favor!"
Qi Nancheng's eyes lit up when he heard this. He pinched himself secretly, met the woman's gaze, and said:
"County Lady...You are too kind.
When I rescued the second young master of the Si Mansion, I didn't know his identity. I just heard the sounds of smashing and looting in the room, so I went in to find out what was going on!
Between you and me, why bother saying thank you? "
After he finished speaking, he felt something was wrong and hurriedly said:
"I mean...you and I have known each other for a while in Xuzhou Prefecture. Between friends, thanking you is too polite."
He was so close to her, yet so far away!
She just said, if you need any help, just let me know...
Qi Nancheng couldn't help but smile bitterly. She couldn't give him what he wanted.
Seeing this, Si Jinxing smiled and said, "Your Highness just wanted to ask about the vegetables. Did I hear it wrong?"
She knew that Qi Nancheng had a faint affection for her, but he kept a good distance.
Don’t expose, don’t entangle, don’t be far, don’t be close.
When Qi Nancheng heard the word "green vegetables", he immediately came back to his senses!
Although he came from a royal family, he was very interested in farming.
If people among the people mention Prince Heng, Prince Rui, or Prince Jing, they may not know them clearly, but if they mention Prince An, they all know him as the commoner prince who loves farming!
Qi Nancheng stopped refusing immediately, and with a sincere look of seeking knowledge on his face, he asked:
"May I ask the county lady, what's the situation with the green vegetables?
Is it really possible to grow it in this freezing winter?"
Si Jinxing pursed her lips and smiled, "Of course! After lunch, I'll take you to the fields and you'll see for yourself."
She paused for a moment and continued:
"Speaking of which, when the prince rescued my younger brother, did he fight with that villain? I wonder if that villain said anything?
Also, where is that villain now?"
Qi Nancheng said hurriedly: "Speaking of which, the person who saved the Second Young Master at that time was also someone else.
At that time, I was with the second young master and was besieged by those villains. It seemed that we were about to be defeated.
At that moment, I saw a man in red shoot an arrow at the back of one of the villains.
When the villain fell to the ground, I had the opportunity to break the deadlock.
I had intended to take one of them back to Jianzhou alive, but when he saw his comrades were dead, he bit the poison pill under his tongue and committed suicide."
Si Jinxing frowned upon hearing this. No one was left alive? And that man in red?
She couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, did you see the face of the man in red clearly?"
Qi Nancheng shook his head and said, "No. In the blink of an eye, the man disappeared, as if he didn't want to show up in front of people."
Si Jinxing nodded. Since the man didn't want to be recognized, let him be.
In this way, there is not a single piece of evidence to prove that Si Jinchang did this!
She tapped her fingers on the table, making a thudding sound. Si Jinchang really paved a very broad road!
But I wonder if her good father can see that this good cousin who appears to be both good-looking and virtuous in front of others is actually a dark and cunning hypocrite!
Then wait for two days and see!
