Sighing, Qi Xunzhi ordered the driver to slow down, otherwise someone might be dazzled.

"Hey, hey, look at that shop."

The plaque made of ebony had four clean characters engraved on it: Zhong's Pawn Shop. But what caught her eye was a unique mark in the lower right corner.

"I don't say 'Hey'." He frowned, but still moved over to follow Xiang Xue's eyes: "That is Mr. Zhong's family property."

"Lord Zhong...Zhong Cheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs."[

"how do you know?"

Qi Xunzhi was a little surprised. This girl should have never left the palace. How did she know Zhong Cheng's name? Thinking that she might have heard something she shouldn't have heard, he was a little anxious, but more concerned, and hurriedly corrected her.

Body: "Where did you hear that?"

"Hmm." I couldn't help but pinched my arm. I didn't complain of pain. I just bit my lower lip and made a small sound, but someone still heard it.

Qi Xunzhi quickly let go of his hand, his eyes filled with self-blame and sullenness: "It hurts? Why didn't you say anything?"

Anxiously, she wanted to lift up her sleeves to check, but Xiang Xue ducked away uncomfortably. She was still not used to being touched suddenly: "It's really the bad guy who complained first. Mr. Zhong came to see Dad today, and he bumped into me when he was coming out. What's the matter?"

How strange?" She changed her words. Qi Xunzhi's nervousness made her more certain that the prince's father and several important ministers were planning something.

Her fingers grazed her waist without leaving any traces. Inside were the greeting gifts, a small bag of various jade jackets. There happened to be one with a mark engraved on it that was exactly the same as the one engraved on Zhong's pawn shop.

Qi Xunzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief at first. He saw the little girl rubbing her hands and remembered the action of avoiding him just now. He felt a little blocked in his heart. He suddenly hated Xiang Xue's subconscious action of distancing himself. Because it was not intentional, it frustrated him even more.

There was a wandering mind and an awkwardness, and the car suddenly became quiet.

Fortunately, the horses had stopped at this time, and the driver's rough voice came through the curtain: "Sir, miss, it's time to get off."

Qi Xunzhi took the opportunity to get closer, thinking that Xiang Xue was still angry for not speaking, so he coaxed gently: "To make it up to you, I will take you to eat delicious food."

Sure enough, Xiang Xue's big black eyes immediately brightened up, and her pink mouth couldn't help but tilt up, truly full of joy.

Seeing her jumping out of the carriage with joy, Qi Xunzhi could only smile bitterly. The fourth young master in the capital was not worth a meal in the eyes of that girl. Should he cry or laugh?

==================

There are no walls that are airtight, let alone in a wealthy and noble family.

Ximenxuan stayed in Tangge for several days and took Xiangxue out to play many times. He even went against his original intention of always attaching great importance to his children's studies and even went so far as to ask Yu Dongting for leave in person.

"Your Majesty, I understand your love for your daughter very well. The third lady is also very clever and astute. But after all, there is no foundation. The most important thing is to make up for it..."

"No need to say anything, Mr. Yu, I will make my own decision."

As a result, there were more and more flatterers, and Dongyuan Tangge became more and more popular, even tending to catch up with the eldest lady Liu Qiyun and the second lady Fu Shuiyan.

The King of Jingxi ignored her and seemed to love Yao Nu with all his heart. The eldest lady remained gentle and indifferent, the second lady was strangely silent and the third lady looked proud.[
