Chapter 164 Backache and Weak Legs

Xiao Bicheng frowned and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! I am the crown prince, how can I do such a thing of partiality and bending the law?"

Seeing that he was angry, He Zhongsheng immediately kowtowed in fear and trepidation, "Your Highness, please calm down!"

"Don't worry, Chancellor He. Lord Cheng is upright and honest. If your son-in-law is truly innocent, I think Lord Cheng will not make things difficult for him."

After giving a slap, Xiao Bicheng also didn't forget to give a sweet date.

He Zhongsheng was anxious. The bad thing about this matter was that his son-in-law was not innocent.

"Your Highness is right, but..."

Just as he was about to say something, Xiao Bicheng waved his hand and said, "I am tired, please leave."

Seeing this, He Zhongsheng could only bow and leave.

I thought that the Crown Prince's plan was not going to work, but before I even reached the East Palace gate, I saw a eunuch quickly chasing after me.

"Master He, please stay."

He Zhongsheng asked politely, "What do you want, sir?"

The eunuch flicked his whisk and whispered, "Master He, don't blame the Crown Prince. In fact, the Crown Prince also wants to save his son-in-law. It's just that..."

He Zhongsheng's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly, "Just what?"

"It's just that the son-in-law Xie Mingyuan's sister Xie Zhuoning had a very unpleasant quarrel with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince because of the cancellation of the engagement..."

The conversation stopped there and his father-in-law gave him a look that said, "I understand, I understand."

He Zhongsheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, eunuch."

…

After a day of riding horses, Xie Zhuoning returned home with great pleasure.

Before leaving, she said with a smile, "Thank you Princess Yunheng for your invitation."

But his eyes were looking at Xiao Jinxuan.

Xiao Jinxuan looked calm, "Whenever you want to ride a horse, just call Yunheng. She likes riding horses very much."

Princess Yunheng: “…”

Well, her little uncle has arranged everything for her very clearly.

She didn't even think about how hard it was for her to chase them today on her pony!

Xie Zhuoning saw through it but didn't say anything. He smiled and said goodbye, "It's getting late. I should go back."

"This is it for you," said Xiao Jinxuan.

"No need for that. Your Highness Prince Xuan should just send Princess Yunheng away."

"This king doesn't go with her."

Yunheng's cheeks puffed up and he was so angry that he wanted to put his hands on his hips.

The Zhenyang Marquis's Mansion is farther from the racecourse than the Xuanwang Mansion. Could it be that it's just on the way with Sister Ning?

Even if she is just a tool, doesn't her little uncle treat her as a human being?

However, in order for the two of them to quickly achieve their goal, she could only smile generously and said, "Yes, Sister Ning, I will be back to the palace soon, so let the little uncle take you back."

Humph! When they have children in the future, she will bully her nephews and nieces every day, so that their children can feel in advance how evil people are in this world!

As soon as Xie Zhuoning got on the carriage, he immediately found the most comfortable position to lie down.

I haven't ridden a horse for a long time, and suddenly I gave it a try. The price I paid was a sore waist and legs, and pain all over my body.

"If I had known I wouldn't have ridden so hard." She muttered softly while massaging her calves.

Xiao Jinxuan was a little amused, "Who told you to compete with each other?"

The little girl is stubborn and competitive. She tries her best in everything she does and is determined to win.

"Then I still didn't win?" Xie Zhuoning frowned, getting angry just thinking about it.

It was as if Xiao Jinxuan was teasing her on purpose, always being just a little ahead of her, giving her the illusion that she could surpass him with just a little effort.

But it was just that tiny gap that I managed to catch up with him from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Jinxuan chuckled, "Don't be angry, how about I redeem myself?"

Xie Zhuoning glanced at him and said, "Atonement? How do you atonce for it?"

Before she finished her words, Xiao Jinxuan grabbed her ankles and began to massage her calves.

His palms were filled with internal strength, they were hot and burning, and when he massaged them, it felt like something was being gently ironed.

Miraculously, there was no pain at all wherever I passed!

“So comfortable~”

Xie Zhuoning couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Jinxuan's eyes dimmed: "..."

Could she please stop making such... suggestive noises?

"My waist also hurts." Xie Zhuoning lay down in the carriage, his slender waist bent in an arc, slender and fit to the touch.

Xiao Jinxuan felt a little amused and helpless as he watched her order him around so naturally.

Does she really regard herself as a hot-blooded man?

The palms are rolled and burned on the waist.

With the slow thrust, Xie Zhuoning hummed in comfort.

"Heavier... um... heavier..."

"If it's any heavier, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"It's okay, I just like you to be a little rough..."

Outside the carriage.

Xia Ju, Ling Xiao and others have all learned martial arts, so their hearing is better than that of ordinary people.

Hearing the ambiguous sounds coming from inside from time to time, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

Ling Xiao blushed, glanced at Xia Ju, and chatted casually, "The weather is nice today."

Xia Ju: “Yeah.”

The carriage swayed all the way and finally arrived at the Zhenyang Marquis Mansion.

Xie Zhuoning's body aches were relieved, and he got off the carriage with a refreshed and rosy face.

It looks like it has been well moisturized.

Xiao Jinxuan, on the other hand, had a very ugly expression on his face, as if he was suppressing something.

After watching Xie Zhuoning enter the mansion, he ordered in a deep voice, "Go back home!"

The voice was already hoarse beyond recognition.

Xie Zhuoning returned home, took a bath, and changed into clean clothes.

Before I had even finished drying my hair, someone arrived from Xie's residence.

"Miss, the old lady wants you to go back."

"Okay, got it." Xie Zhuoning responded, but his expression was neither anxious nor slow.

After Fuling dried her hair and washed her hair, she slowly got up and went to Xie's house.

In the living room.

Old Madam Xie and Uncle Xie Heng were both there, and He Jinyun was also sitting on the armchair on the left.

Xie Zhuoning stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Grandma, Uncle, Sister-in-law."

"Cough, cough." Xie Heng put his fist to his lips, coughed twice, and glanced at Old Madam Xie.

Seeing this, Old Madam Xie immediately spoke up, "Miss Zhuoning, I asked you to come back today because I want to ask you to do something."

He said beg, but his tone was imperative.

Xie Zhuoning simply shook his head and said, "I can't help you."

Before Madam Xie could get angry, He Jinyun got angry first, "Grandma hasn't said anything yet, how do you know you can't help?"

Xie Zhuoning said as a matter of course, "Uncle is sitting here right now. If it's a small matter, I think he can solve it with a wave of his sleeves. But now even uncle is helpless, and you ask me to help. Aren't you overestimating me?"

He Jinyun choked, and Madam Xie hurriedly asked her to sit down, "Ming'er, why are you so anxious? Don't get upset. Besides, we are all family, how could your sister Zhuoning really watch someone die without helping?"

As she spoke, she looked at Xie Zhuoning, "Zhuoning girl, please save your elder brother. He is being held by the Minister of Justice and he won't let him go. As long as you go and admit your mistakes to the Crown Prince and give in, your elder brother can be saved!"

"What?" Xie Zhuoning thought he had misheard.

Let her go and admit her mistake to Xiao Bicheng?
