Xia Taoyuan said to Wei Zhiying apologetically: "Miss Wei, I sympathize with your situation. I think you are desperate and have to tell such a private matter to an outsider like me. But don't worry, I will never tell anyone else!"

Wei Zhiying looked at Xia Taoyuan and suddenly knelt down. Xia Taoyuan was startled and hurriedly dodged, saying anxiously: "Miss Wei, don't do this, if you have something to say, just say it, don't do this." As she said this, she was about to pull Wei Zhiying up.

Wei Zhiying insisted on kneeling on the ground. She looked sad and said, "If I had only had physical contact with Bo Qing, I would not agree to the engagement with Prince Jing. At worst, I would just die. But, but I am pregnant. I know I am wrong, but the child is innocent and I want to give birth to him."

Xia Taoyuan took a deep breath. What was going on? A girl who was only 17 or 18 years old was pregnant. She really wanted to see who Xia Boqing was. He could have bewitched the young lady of the Xiangfu so much.

Speaking of children, Wei Zhiying's eyes became more determined. She held Xia Taoyuan's hand and said, "A few days ago, I went to the temple to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to save me and help me get through this. Today, you appeared in my yard, and you look 80% similar to me."

When Xia Taoyuan heard this, she was shocked. This must be a plan to take advantage of her.

As expected, Wei Zhiying then asked Xia Taoyuan to pretend that she was engaged to Prince Jing.

Xia Taoyuan complained in her heart and refused repeatedly. She looked around again, expecting a photographer with a camera to appear, but there was nothing. She really hoped that this was a blogger shooting a video and she was just a passerby who strayed into it.

Wei Zhiying held Xia Taoyuan tightly, begging desperately, saying: "Don't you think this is what the Bodhisattva meant? Otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence. I have been thinking about how to escape this disaster. In fact, I also know that even if there is a way, my belly will be big in two months, and everything will be exposed."

"I also thought about running away, but if I ran away, my parents would definitely be implicated by me." Wei Zhiying's eyes lit up as she spoke: "I didn't expect Guanyin Bodhisattva to send you to help me escape this disaster."

Xia Taoyuan thought, forget it, Guanyin Bodhisattva has time to care about your affairs? But then again, why did she appear here?

Considering that Wei Zhiying was pregnant, Xia Taoyuan helped her to the stone bench. He said, "I don't know how I ended up here. I just visited my relatives' graves and rested in the pavilion for a while. When I woke up, I found myself here. I just want to go home now."

Wei Zhiying grabbed Xia Taoyuan's hand again and begged, "Please have mercy on me and help me this time. If you help me, you will save our whole family. I will definitely not treat you unfairly."

Xia Taoyuan felt a little annoyed and responded casually: "If I can help, I will try my best." She didn't know why she came here, nor did she know how to go back, so she stayed here first and left when she found an opportunity.

Wei Zhiying smiled instantly, with some tears still on her face. She asked Xia Taoyuan's name and age, but to avoid trouble, Xia Taoyuan just said he was the same age as her.

At this time, the little maid Ling'er came over with a food box and put the food on the stone table. Wei Zhiying asked Xia Taoyuan to eat first.

Xia Taoyuan was also hungry, so she said a few polite words and started eating. She devoured the food in no time, which made the little maid Ling'er pout and mutter in a low voice: She doesn't act like a girl at all.

Xia Taoyuan pretended not to hear. She had to fill her stomach now so that she would have the strength to find her way home. After the meal, Ling'er cleaned up the dishes. Wei Zhiying pulled her aside and gave her a few instructions. Then the little maid left first.

Wei Zhiying then said to Xia Taoyuan, "Miss Xia, I'm sorry to bother you for a while. You can rest in this pavilion for a while. I will go and make some arrangements. There are many maids and servants in the prime minister's mansion. I don't want irrelevant people to know."

After saying that, Wei Zhiying left.

Xia Taoyuan stood up and walked around the courtyard wall, feeling around, but didn't see any secret doors or anything like that. The garden was very large, with pavilions, flower terraces, rockery corridors, and even a lake with a small boat in it.

Xia Taoyuan couldn't help but sigh, it was worthy of being the prime minister's residence, the garden alone was so big, and if it were in their place, this amount of land would have to be sold at a sky-high price.

After walking for a while, Taoyuan returned to Xiyun Pavilion. She sat down and thought about everything that happened today. Until now, she was still not sure whether this was a dream.

Suddenly, she had an idea. The small pavilion next to her house was exactly the same as the one in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Except for the difference in age, both were called Xiyun Pavilion. And she came here directly from the pavilion in front of her house. Does this mean that the area near her house was the Prime Minister's Mansion a long time ago?

The more Xia Taoyuan thought about it, the more she felt that it was right. She quickly reached into her pocket to search for her phone. After feeling it in vain, she remembered that the bag containing her phone and keys should have been left at Xiyun Pavilion near her home. She also thought that this was ancient times and there was no signal even with a phone, so she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
