"Presumptuous!"

Ji Zimo moved quickly, pulling her to his side and protecting her behind him. He stared at Xia Chengan with a sharp gaze and scolded: "Xiahou, you are so brave."

Acting like this in front of His Highness the Wise King is tantamount to provoking the imperial power.

Xia Chengan was in the court, experienced hundreds of battles, and fought with the heroes. No matter how depressing and depressing the situation was, he remained calm and composed, never losing his composure, and making it impossible for others to grasp his shortcomings.

Who knows now...

He took a step back, bowed his hands and said, "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I'm sorry."

Ji Zimo had a stern face and refused to reply to his apology.

Obviously, he was very angry and did not want to let him go easily today.

"It's so boring!"

Behind him, Xia Qianqian murmured in a low voice and raised her voice: "Come here, please clean up the things on the table."

Her words instantly broke the condensed atmosphere in the room.

Outside the house, Geng Zhong came in with two boys.

The two were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. They wiped the table, swept the floor, cleaned up in minutes, and left quickly.

Suddenly there were three more people left in the room.

Xia Qianqian looked like a normal person and turned around from behind Ji Zimo with clear eyes, "What's wrong, Mr. Marquis, I'm heartbroken. I'm just telling the truth."

Under his sleeves, Xia Chengan clenched his fists and responded coldly: "Don't think that just because Mrs. Hou thinks you are her daughter, you are my daughter!"

What does he mean by this, is he no longer intends to recognize her?

Xia Qianqian smiled and said, "Mrs. Xi and I hit it off right away. She regards me as her biological daughter, and I am willing to treat her like my own mother. This is the fate between the two of us. What does it have to do with Mr. Hou?"

Xia Chengan frowned, "You really don't want to be the concubine of the Hou family?"

In the past eighteen years, so many women, knowing that they are not, still dream of becoming the legitimate daughter of the prince's family. Who doesn't covet the glory and wealth?

Xia Qianqian spread her hands and said speechlessly: "Master Hou is really joking. Can I be the legitimate daughter of the Hou family if I want to be?"

"What do you mean?" Xia Chengan narrowed his eyes.

"Literally!" She said calmly, "If I am the Marquis's daughter, I will be the legitimate lady. If I am not, then I am not. This has nothing to do with whether I want to or not."

"Master Hou, there is no need to be angry!"

She glanced slightly sideways, looking at the handsome man, stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, shook him gently, and said coquettishly: "What His Highness just said was so straightforward. He has identified me as the future virtuous princess."<

/p>

"We agree with each other and recognize each other. Therefore, the identity of a legitimate daughter of the Hou family is just the icing on the cake for me. Even if it is not available, no one dares to look down on me."

"I'm not obsessed with this, so why should the Marquis care?"

Under the sleeves, Xia Chengan's hand tightened.

It turns out that she didn’t care at all about the identity of the legitimate daughter of the Hou family.

Even, he is not a stranger to his father, the Marquis.

The things he thought she would care about were all so dispensable in her eyes.

"You..." He wanted to say something else, but it felt like there was a ball of cotton stuffed in his throat. He couldn't swallow it or cough it out. It was so uncomfortable.

"Qianqian, let's go for a walk in the backyard!"

Looking at Xia Chengan being defeated, Ji Zimo felt funny in his heart.

The corners of the mouth exposed outside the mask almost couldn't be controlled and flew up.

"Okay!" Xia Qianqian agreed: "Er Gouzi is back, I will take you to see him."

"What is he doing here?"

"He helped the kitchen chop wood. He also brought someone back with him. Go and have a look. You might know him."

The two of them walked and chatted, leaving Xia Chengan standing there blankly. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.

He couldn't figure out what this girl was thinking.

……

In the corner of the backyard, a large pile of firewood was piled neatly along the wall to the height of a person, and the sawdust on the ground was also cleaned up.

Xia Qianqian looked at the scene in front of her, looked at Ji Zimo, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to be very efficient at their work."

"Perhaps they are afraid of seeing His Highness, so they work more quickly."

"I think you're right." Xia Qianqian considered, "I wonder if Feng Wei in prison will strengthen his defense?"

She took a breath and said, "There are people coming from both sides. They are probably planning how to rescue Feng Wei."

Ji Zimo was shocked by her words, "You actually doubt Xia Chengan?"

"Why can't you doubt him?"

Xia Qianqian looked serious, "Your Highness, he has been staying in the capital, and suddenly he came to Jiangcheng like a descendant from heaven. Shouldn't we be suspicious?"

"He is your father. Do you know what Xiahou Mansion will face if he is involved?"

"This is not something I should consider."

Xia Qianqian was even more calm, "This is an issue that Xia Chengan should consider. If he takes the risk of participating in Fanshan Feng Wei's incident, he has already thought about how to deal with this risk."

"He doesn't care about his family, but I care about him, so what can I do?"

Ji Zimo's eyes fell on her, unable to move for a long time.

Her frankness made him very ashamed.

He even lamented that among the women in this world, there are only a few people who can do what she does, never show favoritism in the face of big rights and wrongs.

"Qingfeng follows Er Gouzi, and you also send people to keep an eye on Jiang Da. I just noticed that he was trying to get close to the Marquis' carriage. He may be waiting for an opportunity to contact the spy."

Seeing that he didn't move, she shrugged, "My front yard is still very busy, so I'll leave now."

There was a turbulent undercurrent hidden in the calm atmosphere, and she believed he could handle it well.

Today, if we talk about the biggest thing in Jiangcheng, it is that there is a new Qianqian County Lord in Jiangcheng.

For such a remote area as Daqian Kingdom, the biggest hot news in the past century is the appearance of a Fanshan bandit, Feng Wei. His Royal Highness, the Xian King, personally went to suppress the bandits, making people aware of this city.

Now, there is another explosive news.

A country idiot from a small fishing village was given the title of Lord of Qianqian County by the Holy Father because of her meritorious service in helping to suppress bandits. She was even rewarded with the entire Fanshan Mountain.

Fanshan, a place that was once taboo among everyone, has become a place that everyone admires and yearns for.

After hearing the news, more and more people came to pick up the fragrant powder shop.

When Xia Qianqian went to the front yard, she found that the table in the yard was neatly stacked with congratulatory gifts from various families.

On one of the tables, there were several boxes placed. On the boxes were written three words of bonus on red silk cloth, "City Lord's Mansion."

She walked closer and opened the boxes one by one to check.

A box of gold and silver jewelry, a box of rare medicinal materials, a box of brocade silk and satin, and a box of tea specialties.

This gift from Zhao Shu is very important.

This was probably an opportunity to take advantage of the opening of the store to pay the medical fees she paid for Madam Ling's diagnosis.

Xia Qianqian was very satisfied. She picked up a small night pearl in the box and played with it in her hands.

"Qianqian, you are such a great warrior!"
