When Xiahou Jing saw him coming, her face, which had just been stern, suddenly turned into a smile.

"Yu'er, if you want to find a concubine, you can tell your aunt."

Just as she finished speaking, the flying knife in Xiahou Yu's hand flew towards her again. Xiahou Jing was so scared that she took a step back. Qin Hanlin went to help her and was almost knocked down by her.

Xiahou Yu flew down and put his arms around Xia Nian's shoulders.

"Don't blame me for not warning you. Be careful with your words." Xiahou Yu said with a cold face.

Xia Nian looked at his profile. It was rare to see Xia Hou Yu like this. He used to love to laugh.

Xiahou Jing was very angry, but she knew Xiahou Yu's temper well and couldn't go against him now.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Is this your attitude towards your aunt now?"

"There are worse treatments, do you want them?" Xiahou Yu asked with a sneer.

After saying this, he ignored the colorful expression on Xiahou Jing's face, turned to look at Xia Nian, and put away his hostility.

"Are you okay?" he asked gently.

Xia Nian shook his head, "It's okay."

Xiahou Jing glanced at Granny Li, who immediately understood and waved her hand to ask the people behind her to leave.

Xiahou Jing pulled Qin Hanlin forward and said, "Yu'er, I wonder if you still remember your childhood playmate, Hanlin."

Qin Hanlin was still in shock. She had no impression of Xiahou Yu. In the past, she had only heard that Xiahou Yu was the heir of the Xiahou family, and that he was extraordinary in both ability and appearance. When she saw him today, she realized that Xiahou Yu and her aunt did not get along so well.

After listening to Xiahou Jing's words, Xia Nian vaguely guessed that this person should be the person Xiahou Yu had mentioned before who spread rumors about his engagement, and the girl next to him should be the rumored object.

Xiahou Yu didn't look at her, but just glanced at Xiahou Jing and asked, "What are you doing in Xiaoyao City?"

Xiahou Jing snorted and laughed. She said as a matter of course: "Aunt is visiting my nephew. Do I need to report it? This time I brought Han Lin here, firstly, I wanted to come and see how you are doing recently, and secondly, I wanted to let you two cultivate your relationship."

Xia Nian glanced at Qin Hanlin. She looked at Xia Houyu timidly and somewhat at a loss, but her temperament was as gentle as orchid and her appearance was good. She was obviously the daughter of a wealthy family. Such a girl... might really be suitable for Xia Houyu.

"Xiahou Jing, have you forgotten the lesson?" Xiahou Yu let go of Xia Nian, took two steps to Xiahou Jing, clasped his arms, and looked down at her.

He was still smiling, but Xiahou Jing suddenly felt a sense of oppression.

"Quanzhi's gossip and rumors in the underworld, do you have a bad memory?" He glanced at her jokingly.

Thinking of Quan Zhi's bloody tongue, Xiahou Jing was so angry that she trembled all over. She finally couldn't help it and wanted to teach him a lesson as an elder, but Xiahou Yu turned around and said in a cold tone:

"Don't blame me for not reminding you not to do anything behind your back."

"Xia Hou Yu! I'm your aunt, and this is your attitude? Have you forgotten your dead father?" She couldn't bear it any longer and yelled.

The sound of a sword being unsheathed suddenly rang out, and even Xia Nian was frightened.

Xiahou Yu raised his sword and pointed it at Xiahou Jing's neck: "If I had forgotten about him, you would have died a long time ago. Be quiet."

After saying that, he put away his sword, walked forward, picked up Xia Nian, and flew away.

"Aunt, are you okay?" Qin Hanlin was still in shock. When the sword was pulled out, she saw the strong murderous intent in Xiahou Yu's eyes.

Xiahou Jing was so angry that she almost fainted. Qin Hanlin helped her sit down in the corridor.

"This damn boy!" she cursed, "He really doesn't know what's good for him."

Qin Hanlin said tentatively: "Aunt, Brother Yu seems to have someone he likes..."

Xiahou Jing suddenly looked at her, her eyes seemed to be blaming her for inaction.

"We don't know anything about that wild girl's origins, how can she be the daughter-in-law of our Xiahou family?"

Her eyes suddenly became gentle, and she patted Qin Hanlin's hand: "Hanlin, auntie only has good things for you."

Qin Hanlin pursed his lips and nodded silently.

Xiahou Yu took Xia Nian and left Xiahou Mansion at a very fast speed.

"Take me back to Yi Mansion." Xia Nian patted his shoulder.

Xiahou Yu smiled at her, and the fierce look in his eyes was no longer there.

"That's what I meant."

Xia Nian swallowed his saliva. He definitely wanted to tell her what happened last night!

When we arrived at Yiqing's house, the yard was quiet. I guess everyone else was resting or out.

Xia Nian was thinking about a countermeasure in her mind and did not notice that Xia Houyu took her directly back to her room and closed the door.

"Miss Xia, do you know what I am going to say?" he asked with a smile.

Xia Nian secretly cried out inwardly that something was wrong and reached out to open the door, but Xia Hou Yu grabbed his arm.

"I don't know. I have forgotten what happened last night." Xia Nian blurted out in a hurry.

Xia Houyu touched his chin and leaned closer to her: "Miss Xia, I didn't say it was about last night."

Xia Nian pursed her lips and cursed herself for being stupid.

"You're like this, what else could it be but what happened last night?" She said, calming herself down.

"Really? Then Miss Xia, can you tell us what happened last night?" he asked, looking at her lips vaguely.

Xia Nian took a step back, looking at him with a slightly evasive look: "I said I forgot."

"Forgot?" Xia Houyu chuckled and approached her, "Then let me help Miss Xia recall it."

Xia Nian pushed him away with his hand: "No need!"

He blinked innocently: "I haven't told you what I'm going to do yet."

Xia Nian turned around and controlled his trembling voice: "No matter what happened last night, it was all due to the alcohol. Mr. Xiahou, don't forget that we said we were friends."

For a long while, Xiahou Yu didn't respond. Xia Nian thought he had left. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she turned around and was hugged from behind by him.

"It's good enough that I know what you mean." He hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear.

Xia Nian's heart moved and his struggling hands stopped.

"If you don't want to now, I won't force you. I'll wait for you." Wait for the day when you are willing to accept me.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Xia Nian could already guess it, and his breathing became a little disordered.

"Why are you waiting for me? Isn't your aunt here with your fiancée?" Xia Nian thought about what happened just now and said a little angrily.

"Fiancée?" Xiahou Yu thought about it. Just now he didn't even look at Qin Hanlin next to him, and now he didn't even know what she looked like.

"I don't have a fiancée. If I really have one, it's you," he said shamelessly.

"Who is your fiancée?" Xia Nian blushed and tried his best to control his disordered breathing.

Xia Houyu looked at her with a smile: "You can't disagree."

Hearing his childish tone, Xia Nian was actually helpless against him.

She sighed and thought, forget it, let's take it one step at a time.

Ding Zhuang hurriedly opened the door and knelt on one knee on the ground: "Madam, I found it."

Xiahou Jing took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Speak."

"The girl today is called Xia Nian, and her background is blank." His voice trembled a little, and Xiahou Jing frowned when she heard it.

"A blank? Could it be that her sect deliberately sent her to get close to Xiahou Yu?" she said.

Ding Zhuang shook his head and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Xia Houjing put down the teacup and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry to check someone up?"

"Madam, there are three other girls who are familiar with Miss Xia. They...they..."

"Say it!"

"They are all related to the heirs of the other three families!" Ding Zhuang said.

"What!?" Xiahou Jing slammed the table and stood up suddenly.

"Are the rumors true? But this is too strange. How is it possible that the four of them just happen to know each other?" Xiahou Jing held his chest with his hand, feeling unbelievable.

"And they all live in Yi Mansion now!" Ding Zhuang added.

Xiahou Jing frowned and said, "Let's visit Yi Mansion tomorrow!"
