In a corner of Jinyang Academy in Jin'an City, five children were sitting.
They sat together today, not making as much noise as usual, nor joking as usual.
Instead, they all looked worried.
"Brother, who do you think this Prince Yi is?"
Xia Hongwei, the second son of the Xia family, couldn't hold it in any longer and asked.
He remembered what his master had told him: he must not let his mother marry anyone else.
Xia Hongwei, however, scolded him coldly: "Second brother, be careful with your words."
The third brother, Xia Hongji, did not help the eldest brother this time. Instead, he said, "Brother, I think what the second brother said is right. Where did this prince come from?"
The fourth child, Xia Lingxuan, blinked and said, "How about I go ask the master for some medicine?"
Zhao Yingyi also said: "I'll go with you."
What good medicine could Xia Lingxuan’s master have?
Everyone knew it, so Zhao Yingyi joined in the fun.
Xia Hongda frowned and said in a cold voice, "Sit down, one or two of you."
They sat here after school today because the third brother, Xia Hongji, heard the conversation between the teachers.
It is said that the newly-appointed Prince Yi wants to marry the manager Xia of the Zai Lai Restaurant.
Before long, many people were talking about this matter.
Some students even secretly pointed at them.
Especially Zhang Liang, who had a conflict with Xia Hongda, spoke wildly and showed his humiliation.
The grudge between Zhang Liang and Xia Hongda started a long time ago.
Zhang Liang relied on his father being a minister and acted domineeringly in the academy.
When Xia Hongda first came, I was naturally dissatisfied with his academic achievements.
But Xia Hongda was not someone who could be easily bullied, so Zhang Liang was constantly taught a lesson by the Master.
Zhang Liang secretly brought a lot of people to settle accounts with Xia Hongda.
But there are quite a few people in the Xia family, and each of them has some skills.
Not to mention Xia Hongwei and Zhao Yingyi who know some kung fu, even Xia Lingxuan, who is like a mute, cannot be touched. Anyone who offends her will definitely get sick.
I originally thought that Xia Hongji, who knew nothing, was easy to bully, but who knew he was so talkative.
He said the living were dead and the dead were alive. In short, Zhang Liang escaped in a panic every time.
Therefore, Zhang Liang had been secretly looking for trouble with Xia Hongda for a long time.
Who would have thought that Zhang Liang went home to visit his relatives yesterday? He said he was visiting his relatives, but in fact he just went home to pretend to be sick and rest.
He then listened to what Aunt Yan had to say about this matter.
Aunt Yan seemed to know Xia Hongda's mother and had been poisoned by her.
How could he tolerate this? Aunt Yan was so good to him, he must help her get revenge.
So he returned to the academy and began to spread the news.
This time, he must make Xia Hongda look bad.
Xia Hongda had just calmed his younger brothers and sisters down when they fell into deep thought again.
Xia Hongda thought a lot. He thought that the prince was powerful. What would he do if he really wanted to force his mother to marry him?
The four of them were of little help, and the only powerful person he knew was Prefect Zheng.
Go find him?
Xia Hongwei nudged Xia Hongda and said, "Brother, how about I go get my master?"
"When did you find him? Besides, there's nothing we can do about it."
Xia Hongji: "So we're just going to keep watching like this?"
Xia Hongda thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go."
Xia Hongwei and others were stunned, not knowing where the eldest brother was going to take them.
But apart from their trust in the eldest brother, they all followed him.
When they got there, they found out that Xia Hongda wanted to ask the teacher for leave.
In the hearts of his father and son, Xia Hongda has always been a good boy, so it must be fake.
As for the remaining few, it all depends on what Xia Hongda says.
In short, they took the leave and the five of them stood at the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.
Xia Hongwei: "Brother, you said there is a way, that is, come to Prince Yi's Mansion?"
Xia Lingxuan: "Brother, I don't have much medicine."
Zhao Yingyi: "How about I go get it from Uncle Zhao Jin?"
Xia Hongji said dissatisfiedly: "Brother, since we are here, can you please not say that I am sick and need to see a doctor next time?"
Several people were talking at once, chattering.
Xia Hongda didn't seem to hear anything, and instead said in a commanding tone, "Old Three, go to the back door and watch. Old Two and Yingyi, you two go to the tree next to it."
“Just take note of the people coming in and out and see if there’s anything special about them.”
Xia Hongji asked, "Brother, are you trying to find a flaw in the prince?"
Xia Hongda nodded, although he knew it was a bit like hitting a rock with an egg.
“It is better to know yourself and your enemy than to know nothing.”
Xia Lingxuan: "Brother, what about me?"
"You and Big Brother watch here. If you see any women in their family, go up and talk to them."
Xia Lingxuan has grown up. Although she looks silly, she always makes people let down their guard.
The children now understood that they just wanted to know what the Prince Yi's Mansion was like and who lived there.
In particular, we need to understand what kind of person Prince Yi is.
After figuring out what to do, all five children took their positions and stared at it for the entire morning.
It is impossible to say that there was no gain, especially when Xia Hongda saw Old Madam Zheng walking out of the gate of Prince Yi's Mansion.
His familiar sister Xiaotao was also beside him.
Before Xia Hongda could stop her, Xia Lingxuan had already run to Madam Zheng.
"Grandma Zheng, why are you here?"
Ever since the Zheng couple lived in Shi'an Village, the old couple asked their children to call them grandpa and grandma in private.
Old Madam Zheng was also surprised to see Xia Lingxuan suddenly appear.
"Lingxuan, why are you here? Are you alone?"
Xia Lingxuan neither shook her head nor nodded, but changed the subject: "Grandma Zheng, is this Prince Yi's Mansion?"
"Yes, this is Prince Yi's Mansion."
Old Madam Zheng felt that Xia Lingxuan was a little strange, but she also knew that the fourth son of the Xia family had always been like this, so she didn't think much about it.
"Do you know the prince?"
Xiao Tao, who was standing by, teased Xia Lingxuan with a smile, "I guess she hasn't been home yet. The old lady is the prince's mother."
"Oh, I see. I'm leaving, Grandma Zheng."
After saying this, Xia Lingxuan ran away, and Madam Zheng and Xiao Tao didn't even have a chance to catch up with her.
"Why did this child suddenly run away? I don't know if her mother knows she's out. Let's go and come back to the restaurant."
It was not until Mrs. Zheng and Xiao Tao went out on the street that they learned about the rumor that was spreading all over the city.
"Brother, brother."
Xia Lingxuan found Xia Hongda at a corner. Xia Hongda hid when he saw Xia Lingxuan running over.
"How is it, Lingxuan?"
"Grandma Zheng is Prince Yi's mother."
mother?
Xia Hongda never imagined that there was such a relationship.
Does this mean that Grandma Zheng was behind this?
He decided to wait for Prince Yi to come today.
At least we have to see what this person looks like.
Unexpectedly, before Prince Yi arrived, Xia Hongwei and Zhao Yingyi came over.
