Even with Zhu Lingshan's protection, Zhou Chi was taken away in the end.

After all, the assassination of court officials is a big deal.

"Sister Xia? Ugh, what should I do?"

Zhu Lingshan washed her face with tears, "He was beaten and injured all over, and now he is locked up in Dali Temple, and he is not even allowed to visit him. Will he be okay?"

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Xia Xiaoqiao poured her a cup of tea and comforted her: "An Guogong's mansion will not just sit idly by, I also asked the people from the Shen family to help take care of him, most of his body has skin trauma, looking scary, he will recover in two days. "

"However, he didn't suffer in vain. This time things happened as we expected, Lord Zhen—"

"I don't want to hear that."

Zhu Lingshan suddenly interrupted her loudly, and then said while shedding tears: "It's none of my business for the Duke of Zhenguo? I only know that he was almost beaten to death for taking those two blood cloths. He is still in Dali Temple now. I don’t know if he’s eating well, if he’s living well, if his injury is healed, if he can still come out—”

After hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao was slightly taken aback.

"Lingshan?"

"Sister Xia, don't you feel it at all? Zhou Chi risked his life just for your words. Do you know how honorable the Duke of Zhen is? He is an important minister who holds the military power, and the current emperor also wants to A person who avoids his sharp edge, but for you, he disregards his wealth and life, disregarding the rise and fall of his family, just because of your guess, he is so reckless—"

Every time Zhu Lingshan said a word, tears rolled down.

"Don't you have a trace of heartbeat and guilt?"

After hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao fell silent, and after a while, she said softly, "Lingshan? Some things are not as simple as you think, nor can they be explained clearly in one or two sentences. The things inside are very complicated. I am naturally grateful for Zhou. Chi's dedication, but emotional matters can't be forced, I understand, and he understands—"

"I know you're worried about him, but don't worry, I—"

"say no more."

Zhu Lingshan looked at her heartbroken, "Sister Xia, I don't understand many things, but I know that Zhou Chi likes you, and he loves you so he doesn't have to kill himself or his family. You shouldn't be doing this his."

"Lingshan?"

"Lingshan, listen to me—"

Unfortunately, Zhu Lingshan didn't give her a chance to explain and ran away.

In fact, Xia Xiaoqiao can catch up, but——

"Miss, why don't you explain it to Princess Lingshan?"

"You have told that Prince Zhou everything that might happen, and you have made all the plans and preparations. You have also given that Prince Zhou a choice. He is willing, so what does it have to do with you?" ?”

"Princess Lingshan pushed everything on you, as if you took advantage of that Prince Zhou, obviously we are just a cooperative relationship."

Nan Shuang said a few words with a displeased face, while Xia Xiaoqiao stood in front of the porch and sighed: "Okay, Lingshan is still young, she doesn't know many things, let her go."

"Miss?"

"Okay, it's been an eventful season recently, you should pay more attention to the affairs in the house."

After Xia Xiaoqiao finished speaking, she said again: "By the way, didn't Chunhua say that he was going to go for an outing a few days ago? How is it? But it's going well?"

"I heard from Xiao He who is next to San Niangzi that everything is going well. San Niangzi and Qi Niangzi are very happy to play, not only that, but also made several friends, but—"

Speaking of this, Nan Shuang paused for a while, and Xia Xiaoqiao turned to look at her, "But what? Say?"

"The third lady has been a little strange these past two days. She, who has always hated female celebrities, is hiding in her room and embroidering purses."

"What? An embroidered purse?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked surprised, but after thinking about it, she asked, "Is there any girl who is good with her?"

"Yes, yes, Mrs. Wang from Mr. Wang's family is a very good embroiderer, and Mrs. Zhang from Mr. Zhang's family—"

Before she finished speaking, Xia Xiaoqiao said in surprise: "Wait, Mr. Wang? Why does this name sound familiar? Which Mr. Wang?"

"Ma'am, have you forgotten? It's that Mr. Wang from the Ministry of Officials who married a daughter of the Shen family."

Xia Xiaoqiao suddenly realized.

"I have an impression, but at least that Langzhong Wang is a top-five grader, and he is still working in the official department. With his eyes that are so high above the top, how can he let his daughter play with Chunhua and the others?"

"Big lady, you don't know about this. Now I don't know how many people are coaxing to make friends with our third lady and seventh lady."

Nan Shuang spoke eloquently.

It turned out that because of the relationship with the Shen family and the prince, many people wanted to curry favor with them.

Everyone knows Lu Jingyuan's temperament, and he is so shrewd, why can't he understand?
Therefore, many people have the heart but not the courage to hang around him.

And what about Xia Xiaoqiao?
It's also not a good stubble, it's not easy to start!
So he could only let the daughter of the family make friends with the two young ladies of the Lu family!
Xia Xiaoqiao couldn't help shaking her head when she heard this, "This is really—"

"Disdain to spare no effort!!!"

"That's right, Miss, you don't know how much these people are overbearing, why don't you let the two ladies in the family stay away from them?"

Nanshuang cautiously suggested, while Xia Xiaoqiao shook her head and said: "That's not necessary, Chunhua and Chunying didn't have many friends when they first came to the capital, and now it's good to have other girls playing with them, but, You are in prison, and nothing will happen."

"OK--"

Nan Shuang went down, and Xia Xiaoqiao was also lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

After an unknown amount of time, a melodious and low-pitched male voice suddenly came from next to my ears. Xia Xiaoqiao turned around immediately after hearing the words.

"you're back?"

Lu Jingyuan looked at her with eyes full of doting, and then gently smoothed the broken hair between her foreheads.

"Well, you're back, but are you worried about Prince Zhou?"

"Have you heard?"

Xia Xiaoqiao immediately looked up, and Lu Jingyuan nodded.

"Well, the method he chose is really risky."

"I persuaded him too."

Xia Xiaoqiao sighed and said: "However, he has always been like this. Fortunately, this time it went smoothly, and the result came out."

"Just as we thought."

After hearing this, Lu Jingyuan looked at her in surprise.

"really?"

Xia Xiaoqiao nodded, "How can I tell you, this is a genetic test, and there will never be any problems."

After saying this, Lu Jingyuan fell silent again.

And Xia Xiaoqiao took his hand and said: "A Yuan, if you want to come to Zhen Guogong and Zhen Guogong's wife, you have to, otherwise I will never send you away. Now I can't take you home, and I have to make someone else's child as my daughter." My son, there must be some difficulties in this."

"I know--"

Speaking of this, Lu Jingyuan looked up at her, then took her hand and said, "Aqiao, if—"

"What if?"

Lu Jingyuan said nervously: "If you leave the capital, you—"

"You want to let it out?"

Xia Xiaoqiao looked at him in surprise.

And Lu Jingyuan sighed deeply, then grabbed her hand and said: "The capital is already troubled, and the wind and rain are precarious—"
