Chapter 38: Passers-by in the Ancient World 12
"Come in."
After Ke Xiaoxia responded, a woman dressed as a woman pushed the door open.
She had a smile on her face and was followed by two maids.
"Miss, you're awake. Come wash up and have something to eat."
Her tone was natural and familiar, as if Ke Xiaoxia had lived here for a long time.
Ke Xiaoxia frowned: "Madam..., I would like to ask, where is this place? Why am I here?"
"Miss, you can just call me Anhui. This is the capital, a house of my master. Yesterday, Miss encountered a bad guy and was seen by my master, so he brought you back."
"The master will be here this afternoon. If you have any questions, you can ask."
Ke Xiaoxia glanced at An Hui.
Wash and eat quietly.
How could she not know what happened yesterday?
This serious look is really scary.
Fortunately, we will find out who An Hui's owner is in the afternoon.
After all, the scope is that big.
It’s either Jiang Mingzhi or Lin Jing.
As for other people, Ke Xiaoxia had thought about it, but if it was someone else, there would be no need to put her in another house.
Unless that person is married and has children.
Thinking of this, Ke Xiaoxia suddenly felt a little disgusted.
As long as safety is ensured, Ke Xiaoxia tends to go with the flow and live from day to day.
After all, ancient times were not like modern society, where she had the opportunity to make her own choices.
She can stay single for her whole life, but others may not be happy with her being single.
At this time, you can only analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the people around you.
Lin Jing is actually quite good.
Although the person is somewhat strong, he must be clean because of his special identity. However, it cannot be fully guaranteed after his identity is restored.
Jiang Mingzhi…
Although Jiang Sheng is not his son, he is so old that there is no guarantee that he will not have other women.
Jiang Sheng is clean and simple, but he is too simple and stupid. He has no competitiveness at all.
If Ke Xiaoxia really had to choose, she would definitely choose someone like Jiang Sheng who is simple and honest.
Unfortunately, it’s not her turn to choose now.

In the afternoon, the master that An Hui mentioned did not come, and only came in the evening.
Ke Xiaoxia thought she could find out who it was.
As a result, An Hui covered her eyes.
Ke Xiaoxia was speechless.
She sat quietly and heard the footsteps of someone coming in, followed by the footsteps of An Hui bowing and leaving.
Only after she could no longer hear An Hui's footsteps did Ke Xiaoxia speak: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"
The person who came didn't say anything, but just walked forward and covered her head with something, then personally untied the red cloth that was covering Ke Xiaoxia's eyes.
Ke Xiaoxia blinked, and when she opened her eyes all she saw was a sea of red.
It looks like the red veil worn at a wedding.
Before she could continue thinking, the veil was lifted.
Ke Xiaoxia raised her eyes and met Jiang Mingzhi's face with a gentle smile.
"Xiao Xia."
The man's voice was gentle and affectionate, his tone was soft, and had a bit of magnetism, which made people blush and their hearts beat faster for no reason.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Ke Xiaoxia really couldn't appreciate the beautiful scenery and voice in front of her.
She just felt that Jiang Mingzhi might be sick.
"Since you have found the young master, why don't you take us back to the Prime Minister's Mansion?"
Ke Xiaoxia asked the question even though she knew the answer.
Jiang Mingzhi also patiently explained: "Of course it's because I don't want Xiaoxia to go back. There are too many people in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which will only disturb us."
Jiang Mingzhi's straightforwardness left Ke Xiaoxia silent.
She felt that no matter what she said, it seemed like it was all useless nonsense.
Jiang Mingzhi continued: "Xiao Xia is willing to leave with Jiang Sheng, is it because she doesn't like the capital?"
"If Xiao Xia doesn't like it, after we finish our work here, I'll take Xiao Xia away, okay?"
"No matter where Xiao Xia wants to go, I can accompany her."
As he spoke, Jiang Mingzhi reached out and held Ke Xiaoxia's hand.
Ke Xiaoxia didn't struggle either.
"I think I need to explain that Jiang Sheng is not my son. Xiao Xia must know this."
"Then Xiao Xia must not know whose child Jiang Sheng is. Those rumors about me are naturally false. I do have a childhood sweetheart, but we don't like each other."
"Jiang Sheng is the child of her and her lover. Unfortunately, her family is too snobbish and looks down on that man. They don't agree with them being together and even killed that man."
According to Jiang Mingzhi, he and Jiang Sheng's mother had a marriage by agreement.
Jiang Sheng's mother needs to protect the child she has with her lover, while Jiang Mingzhi needs to avoid the marriage arranged by the Jiang family and even leave the Jiang family.
The two then decided to get married.
Of course, Jiang Mingzhi still didn't say anything about Lin Jing's matter, but he was definitely involved.
After the explanation, Jiang Mingzhi asked Ke Xiaoxia if she was willing to leave with him after the matter was settled.
This time, Ke Xiaoxia finally stopped being silent.
"Your Excellency doesn't need to ask me if I am willing, and my answer is not important to you."
Whether she likes it or not, she can't escape being with Jiang Mingzhi.
Of course Jiang Mingzhi could understand the hidden meaning in Ke Xiaoxia's words.
But he really didn't want to let her go.
Jiang Mingzhi hugged the person in his arms.
Ke Xiaoxia didn't do anything thankless, such as struggling fearlessly.
Jiang Mingzhi will sleep here tonight.
The two of them slept together.
Compared to Lin Jing and Jiang Sheng, who are still teenagers, Jiang Mingzhi is more mature.
He is a grown man.
When two people lie in one bed, they certainly don't just sleep properly.
However, Jiang Mingzhi did not reach the last step.
It might be because he was afraid that Ke Xiaoxia would not agree, or it might be for some other reason.
He was more focused on serving Ke Xiaoxia rather than pursuing his own pleasure.
When it comes to the end, he still needs Ke Xiaoxia's hand to help him.
This help is a bit tiring.
After helping him, Ke Xiaoxia fell asleep.
Jiang Mingzhi hugged Ke Xiaoxia, kissed her forehead gently, and then closed his eyes.

On the other side, Jiang Sheng hurried and finally entered the capital city before the gate closed.
He continued walking towards the Prime Minister's Mansion without stopping.
Jiang Sheng originally wanted to find Jiang Mingzhi, but Jiang Mingzhi was not in the Prime Minister's Mansion at that time.
In the end, Jiang Sheng had no choice but to turn to Lin Jing.
After seeing Lin Jing, Jiang Sheng confessed directly: "I already know the secret between you and Jiang Mingzhi. I was originally planning to take Xiaoxia away from you, but Xiaoxia is missing. Something must have happened to her."
Jiang Sheng explained the whole thing in a somewhat incoherent manner, and Lin Jing's face became gloomier as he listened.
He couldn't help but scold Jiang Sheng: "Trash."
Jiang Sheng didn't care about the grudge between him and Lin Jing: "If you want to scold me, go ahead. If you really can't do it, you can beat me up, but the most important thing now is Xiao Xia's safety. I originally wanted to find Jiang Mingzhi, but I don't know where he went..."
"Where else can he go? He hid Xiao Xia. Where do you think he can go?"
