A happy event in a fertile field: the black-bellied husband is as beautiful as a flower

Chapter 625
Xia Shi pursed her lips, unable to make up her mind for a moment.

This was inexplicably related to Li Guo, and she suddenly didn't know what to do.

Xia Shi lowered his head and twisted the corner of his sleeve again, feeling a little helpless.

After a while, she asked, "What will happen if it is confirmed?"

The Marquis of Shang looked solemn, and said in a low voice: "That will prove Madam's real life experience. Your lord, that Mr. Xia may not be Madam's biological father."

Xia Shi was taken aback again.

Does she have other backgrounds?

This is undoubtedly a huge rock suddenly thrown into her peaceful life, causing a storm.

As a result, Xia Shi sat stiffly for a long time, not knowing how to react.

Later, Shanghou looked at her and asked with a softer voice, "Are you hungry?"

Xia Shi came back to her senses and raised her eyes to look at him: "Huh?"

Shang Hou said: "The vegetarian food here is simple, do you want to try it?"

After a moment, Xia Shi hesitated and nodded: "...OK."

Ah Shuo went down to ask someone to prepare it, and after a while, two bowls of noodle soup were brought along with some vegetarian snacks.

The coffee table in front of me is limited in size, and after the top and snacks are placed, it is basically full.

The Marquis of Shang handed a pair of chopsticks to Mrs Xia, and Mrs Xia took it and thanked her.

Shang Hou looked at her, and suddenly said: "Don't be afraid, nothing will happen. If it goes well, you can recognize your ancestors and return to your clan in your lifetime, and be reunited with other relatives. Isn't it a good thing?"

Xia raised her head and asked, "Do I have any other relatives?"

Shang Hou said: "Of course."

Xia Shi's uneasy heart, because of his words, seemed to have pushed away the clouds and mist, and it really calmed down a little.

If she has other relatives in this world, how can it be a bad thing.

In the end Xia said: "You can take this hairpin back, but whether it is or not, please return it to Lord Hou. This is the only thing my father left me when he was dying."

Shang Hou said: "It must be."

Then the two began to eat.

It was only then that Xia Shi realized that she and the Marquis Shang were eating so close to each other, as long as she lowered her head slightly to eat the noodles, she would be very close to him.

She ate extremely quietly, and she didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at him so close.

Suddenly a pair of chopsticks reached out and put snacks into her bowl.

Shang Hou put down his chopsticks and said, "Don't just eat noodles, try something else."

Xia Shi really felt that it was inappropriate to be so close to him, so she moved back, but in a panic, she accidentally knocked over a cup of tea next to her.

She panicked even more, and quickly reached out to help.

Shang Hou moved a step faster than her, and her hand fell on the back of Shang Hou's hand unexpectedly, and she was startled, and quickly retracted.

The warm tea in the teacup inevitably dripped out and splashed on the clothes of Marquis Shang.

With guilt all over her face, Xia took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, wiped it for him again, and said, "I'm sorry."

Shanghou said: "It's nothing." He glanced at Mrs. Xia and said, "Madam, don't be so nervous."

Xia Shi said in embarrassment: "It's not that I'm nervous, I just feel..." She was so close to him, it was a bit out of courtesy.

But under Shanghou's eyes, she couldn't say those words, so she changed her words in a panic: "It's nothing."

This simple vegetarian meal is very suitable for Xia family's taste in normal times.It's just that with Marquis Shang around, she completely forgot to savor it carefully, and she didn't know what it tasted like in her mouth.

After the meal, he drank two more cups of tea, and before he knew it, more than half a day had passed, Xia Shi took his leave and left.

It was only when he got up that he saw the cloak he had brought in and folded beside him, and then he remembered this, Xia said: "I almost forgot, the last time Lord Marquis lent me the cloak, today I brought it."

As she spoke, she held the meticulously folded cloak in both hands and handed it back to Marquis Shang.

A woman's hands are very gentle and delicate, and can always smooth out the slight creases on a man's clothes.

What the Marquis of Shang saw was a thing that passed through a woman's hand and was smooth without blemishes.

No woman has folded his clothes for so many years, and he wondered if it was his own.

Shang Hou asked, "Is this the one I gave you last time?"

Xia Shi said: "Exactly, can't Lord Hou recognize it?"

She was wondering if there was something wrong with the washing or drying process that prevented him from recognizing it.In the end, Shang Hou said: "It's just too tidy."

Xia Shi laughed and said, "That's all I can do. I'll do my best to thank Lord Hou for your kindness."

"Madam, you are welcome." Before leaving, the Marquis of Shang said again, "What I said to Madam today is of great importance, and may even involve Madam's safety. Can Madam please keep it a secret?"

Xia Shi turned around and asked, "Can't even my daughter know?"

Marquis Shang thought about it: "Yes, it's just that it's not appropriate to let other people know, especially the royal family of the Yin Kingdom."

Xia Shi thought for a while and said, "I understand."

After all, it was inconvenient for the Marquis of Shang to see her off, so A Shuo led Xia family out of Jingyuan, got into a carriage, and sent them back to the palace safely.

Meng Yan waited at home for half a day, and finally brought Xia Shi back in the middle of the afternoon.If Chongxian hadn't sent a message saying that the Xia family was safe, she might have gone out to find someone early.

After Xia's return, Meng Yan naturally wanted to ask her what she had talked with the Marquis of Shang today.

Xia Shi had nothing to hide from her, but before telling her, he asked: "If I told you exactly, would you tell Yin Heng exactly?"

Meng Yan took it for granted, "Then there's no need to ask."

Xia said: "Then I can't tell you."

Meng Yan squinted her eyes, and said straight to the point: "Did Lord Shang tell you to hide it from Ah Heng?"

Xia Shi said: "It's not to hide it from Ah Heng, but he said that the matter is very important, and it may affect my safety, so we must not let outsiders know, especially... the royal family."

Meng Yan's heart sank, so she didn't ask any more questions.

As early as when A Shuo said that the hairpin belonged to the country of Li, Meng Yan had a suspicion in his heart.

There are tens of thousands of things in the Li Kingdom, if they are not valuable and important, how could the Marquis of Shang recognize them?
It's not that Meng Yan has never been in touch with the things weaved in the palace, and looking at the manufacturing process of the hairpin, I'm afraid most of them flowed out of the palace...

As soon as Xia Shi said it now, she was more than half sure in her heart that if she guarded against the royal family of the Yin country, it was very likely that it was related to a very important figure in the Li country.

Xia Shi looked at Meng Yan and said, "Ah Nan, do you still want your mother to tell me?"

Meng Yan said: "Say it means you have to keep it a secret from Ah Heng, right? Then don't say it, otherwise I might not be able to help but want to tell him at some point."

Xia Shi nodded without forcing it.

"What about the hairpin?" Meng Yan asked.

Xia Shi said: "The Marquis of Shang took it away, he will take it back to their country of Li to confirm it, and then return it to me."

When Yin Heng came home, Meng Yan was in the bedroom, lying delicately and strong on the rocker bed, Meng Yan was humming a little tune to the two while rocking gently.

The two seemed to be very happy, dancing and dancing.
