After Xiahou Yu finished explaining, Ma Zhong and Xu Sheng left first. Xia Nian called the other two.

Tang Rui is three years older than Xia Nian, but has a baby face. When Xia Nian saw her yesterday, she immediately thought of Taozi.

"Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?" Tang Rui bowed and said, looking cute yet heroic.

Xia Nian smiled and said, "What have you two been doing these past two days?"

Tang Rui thought about it seriously and said, "Nothing important has happened in the past two days. Madam, is there anything wrong?"

Fu Nian nodded repeatedly on the side. When he smiled, there were shallow dimples on the corners of his mouth. His delicate skin and tender flesh did not look like a martial artist.

"Yes, I have something to talk to you about." Xia Nian nodded, thinking that he would ask Xia Houyu for the person later.

"Madam, please go ahead." Fu Nian said with a smile.

Just at this moment, Xiahou Yu came out of the study, and Xia Nian walked up to him and took his arm.

"Xiahou Yu, I have something to discuss with you." Xia Nian said.

Xiahou Yu curled his lips and said, "Okay, let's go to the inner room?"

Xia Nian looked at Tang Rui and Fu Nian on the side: "Not only with you, but also with these two."

Tang Rui and Fu Nian looked at each other, and Fu Nian jumped up first, saying with a smile: "Is there anything I can do to help Madam? I will do my best!"

Xiahou Yu gritted his teeth, grabbed the back of his collar and threw him aside.

"Thank you, let's go inside and talk." Xia Nian said with a smile.

In the evening, Xiahou Jing came out of Qin Hanlin's yard, complaining: "This girl is just like her second uncle, she looks like she came out of a medicine jar."

Granny Li whispered, "Looking at the young lady's condition just now, it was difficult for her to get up."

Xiahou Jing impatiently pulled off a leaf and said, "We can't pin our hopes on her."

After he finished speaking, Ding Zhuang walked quickly towards him from the front, turning his head to look from time to time.

Xiahou Jing glanced at him and asked, "Are you in such a hurry because you saw a ghost?"

Ding Zhuang bowed and walked a few steps to her side: "Madam, just now I saw a handsome scholar outside looking for Miss Xia, and soon Miss Xia went out to meet him!"

Xiahou Jing's eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a shrewd and calculating look.

"Are you serious? Xia Nian and a scholar went out? Just the two of them?"

Ding Zhuang nodded: "Absolutely true."

Xiahou Jing walked forward slowly, frowning slightly: "Does Xiahou Yu know?"

"I don't know. I just went to the courtyard and saw that Master Xiahou was not at home."

Xiahou Jing said: "Xia Nian is really bold, she actually dares to go out and meet a private man!"

Ding Zhuang licked his lips and said, "But...what if their relationship is not what we think..."

Xiahou Jing suddenly laughed out loud, then stopped immediately, "It doesn't matter what their relationship is. What's important is to make Xiahou Yu misunderstand their relationship."

Ding Zhuang asked, "But what if Master Xiahou also knows that man?"

"So what?" Xiahou Jing said bluntly, "Isn't it possible that they are having an affair if they know each other?"

Ding Zhuang immediately understood: "Yes, I understand, ma'am."

"As long as you understand." Xiahou Jing said, she folded her hands in front of her and walked forward quickly.

At this time, her waist no longer hurt and her eyes were no longer blurry. She was thinking about how to make the two of them break up.

At this time, Xia Nian and a man were walking by the lake.

He couldn't help but poke his cheek: "Ah Nian, how about my face?"

Xia Nian looked at him with a smile: "Not bad, like a pretty boy."

Xiahou Yu said: "That's also a powerful pretty boy."

After saying that, he walked a few steps away from Xia Nian in dissatisfaction, muttering, "Ah Nian, you are still planning to let Fu Nian accompany you in this drama. I am angry."

"Angry?" Xia Nian covered her mouth and laughed, moving a few steps closer to him, "Are you really angry?"

"Really, unless you ..."

"Then you can continue to be angry. I'm going to go over there to enjoy the moon."

Xia Nian turned around ruthlessly and walked towards the pavilion leading to the center of the lake.

Xiahou Yu hurriedly followed her and put his arms around her waist: "I'm not angry anymore."

"That's good." Xia Nian turned her head and pinched his cheek. "The Soul Devouring Hall's disguise technique is really amazing. Unless you touch it, you can't tell at all."

Xiahou Yu nodded: "Xiahou Jing will definitely not be able to see it anyway."

He smiled at Xia Nian, looking handsome and with a much better temper. His hair was not his own and was now half draped over his shoulders. From the back, he looked like a handsome and elegant young man.

Xiahou Yu sat close to her under the pavilion.

Xia Nian moved to the side and said, "Don't get too close."

Xiahou Yu appeared obedient on the surface, but in his heart he stabbed Xiahou Jing through and through: "Okay."

Ding Zhuang, who was not far away, saw the whole scene clearly. He originally thought that the two were good friends, but now it seems that it is far from as simple as he thought!

After taking a few more glances, Ding Zhuang hurried back and told Xiahou Jing what happened by the lake.

"Really?" Xiahou Jing slammed the table and stood up.

Ding Zhuang nodded: "It's absolutely true! I saw it with my own eyes, Miss Xia even touched his face with her hand, the two of them were simply not decent."

Xiahou Jing felt angry and amused at the same time, and said, "That bastard Xiahou Yu came back and told us that the two of them were married, but what happened? He brought back such a questionable woman, and she even lived in the Xiahou Mansion, and she even dared to meet with a stranger in private! He simply didn't take our Xiahou family seriously!"

After saying that, she raised her leg to go out, but was stopped by Ding Zhuang.

"Madam, please don't be impulsive. We all know how much Young Master Xiahou loves Miss Xia. If we go there rashly without any evidence, Young Master Xiahou will not believe us."

Xiahou Jing was stunned and rubbed her brows: "You are right, I was so angry that I almost forgot to use this opportunity to ask Xiahou Yu to divorce her."

Ding Zhuang nodded. He knew what Xiahou Jing was thinking. Even if she hated Xiahou Yu, it was a done deal that Xia Nian was his wife and the daughter-in-law of the Xiahou family. Now she was so bold that she secretly met with a man outside of her family. It was obvious that she did not take the Xiahou family seriously.

Xiahou Jing said, "Go and find out the man's identity and where he lives. Once you find out, invite him to be your guest. Remember, don't let anyone find out."

Ding Zhuang had followed her for more than ten years and immediately understood what she meant. He nodded in agreement and then left.

In the courtyard, Qin Hanlin sat on the soft couch under the windowsill, letting the autumn breeze cool his face.

Moer hurriedly picked up the cloak and came to her side. He stretched out his hand and held her hand, saying distressedly: "Miss, why are you sitting here in the cold wind? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Qin Hanlin lowered his eyes to look at the tied bow and said, "This wind makes people more sober and less likely to do stupid things."

"Stupid thing?" Mo'er was puzzled. "Miss, what stupid thing are you talking about?"

Qin Hanlin shook his head slightly, closed the windowsill, and answered irrelevantly: "I didn't expect that Master Xiahou really married Miss Xia."

Mo Er nodded and said, "Miss, you saw it too. Young Master Xiahou took out their engagement letter in front of so many people. The names on it were written very clearly."

She was afraid that Qin Hanlin would be sad, so she quickly said, "Miss, don't worry about them. As a lady from a wealthy family, you are different from her. Who knows what method she used to make Master Xiahou like a ghost bewitched."

Qin Hanlin said: "No matter what, Miss Xia is indeed a fairy-like person, and she is also smart. Sometimes family background cannot explain everything."

Mo Er pouted and said, "Miss, you are still praising her. If it wasn't for her, you would be the one marrying Master Xiahou, and..." She leaned down and lowered her voice a lot, "I heard that Miss Xia was a dancer in Zhaoding City before. Master Xiahou might have liked her because of her seductive dancing."

Qin Hanlin laughed self-deprecatingly: "So, I can't even beat a dancer? For her, Master Xiahou even went back on his way to his uncle's funeral and went against Xiahou Jing. She must have something extraordinary."

Mo Er then realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly slapped her mouth with her palm, apologetically saying: "Miss... I'm sorry, Mo Er didn't mean that..."

Qin Hanlin said calmly: "It's okay, Mo'er, I want to drink sour plum soup, go and ask the kitchen to make some."

Mo Er nodded quickly: "Yes, Miss."
