Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

The Xia family's father and daughter walked out dejectedly, no longer with the arrogance they had when they came.

The maids and servants in the mansion received Lu Kang's orders and treated them as invisible.

Xia Yulan felt insulted. She didn't care that she was still in the general's mansion. She pointed at the maid not far away and ordered loudly, "Come here!"

The maid stood still and said, "Miss Xia, please tell me what you want me to do. I have to give the princess a heads-up later, so I'm afraid I don't have much time to let Miss Xia send you orders."

Xia Yulan felt a lump in her chest and almost couldn't breathe.

She pinched her palms for a long time before she finally calmed down a little.

"Which courtyard does your princess live in? I came here specially to visit her today, but I haven't had the chance to see her yet."

Before coming, she made special inquiries and learned that Princess Heng was raised in the Cheng family in the northwest when she was young, and had a close relationship with Cheng Shuang since childhood.

On that day, at the Fang family birthday party, Cheng Shuang competed in martial arts and archery, and his behavior was rude and without any etiquette or rules.

Princess Heng is on good terms with her, so she must be just as rude and impolite.

Prince Heng was the legitimate son of the Queen Mother and had been favored by the late Emperor since he was young. How could such a favored child of heaven tolerate having a vulgar princess for a long time?

So she guessed that their relationship must not be good.

However, just as the thought came to his mind, he was interrupted by an unfriendly voice, "How can you be worthy of meeting my sister?"

Xia Yulan looked up and saw a tall figure walking towards her.

Black armor and silver spear, very majestic.

However, when he approached Xia Yulan, he found that it was a childish face.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a man before?"

As soon as Cheng Hui returned home, he heard that an unknown person wanted to see his cousin.

He immediately stepped forward to protect his child.

After looking Xia Yulan up and down with disdain, he asked the maidservants behind him with dissatisfaction.

"What's wrong with the concierge? Why do they let all kinds of cats and dogs into the mansion?"

"We are not just random people!" Xia Yulan's anger, which had just been suppressed, rose again. "I am Xia Yulan, the daughter of the prefect of Jincheng."

"The prefect of Jincheng?" Cheng Hui looked at him with even more disdain.

Xia Yulan didn't understand what he meant. She raised her chin slightly and nodded proudly, "Yes, the person next to me is the prefect of Jincheng."

"Tsk, she's just a little prefect's daughter. I thought she was a princess from the royal family when she saw this."

"you!"

"Besides, everyone in Jincheng respects Fang Ruoruo, the legitimate daughter of the Fang family, the one whom she was born with the most respect. She was born with good fortune and luck, unlike you, who not only has a pointed face but also looks like someone who will bring bad luck to your family."

"So what if Fang Ruoruo is born with good fortune? She's still a brainless waste! I'm not like her."

"But in my opinion, you are not as good as her. At least she can be pampered and worshipped as a mascot. You look like an unlucky person. Leave now and don't bring bad luck to my sister and brother-in-law."

After saying this, without waiting for Xia Yulan and her daughter to come back to their senses, he directly picked them up and pushed them out.

Not to mention Xia Yuban, even Xia Zhirong had never seen someone who would start a fight over a disagreement.

He pulled Cheng Hui's hand and asked anxiously, "Your Excellency is..."

Cheng Hui said to him cheerfully, "I am Cheng Hui, the third-rank general who was just appointed by the emperor."

The complaints that Xia Zhirong was about to say died.

"boom!"

The father and daughter were thrown by Cheng Hui at the gate of the general's mansion.

"Don't bother my sister if you have nothing to do, or I won't be so nice to you next time."

After saying this, Cheng Hui swaggered back to his house.

Xia Zhirong and his daughter were left staring at each other.

"Dad, you didn't tell me before that there is such a living devil in the general's mansion."

"I just found out about this not long ago. I haven't had the chance to interact with him yet. Who knew he would be such a scoundrel."

"Third rank general of the Western Expedition..."

Xia Yulan muttered to herself as she looked at the plaque on the door of the general's mansion.

Compared with Cheng Hui's angry retort, King Heng's deep contempt was more hurtful.

If they can't do anything about King Heng, then Cheng Hui can be a way out.

Meng Yunshang didn't know that after Xia Yulan was attacked by Lu Chenxiao, she even thought about arguing with her face to face.

Just as she learned from Lu Chenxiao that the Xia family was holding a welcoming banquet, Cheng Hui came into the room shouting.

"Sister, I think you should keep a closer eye on my brother-in-law."

"Why do you say that?"

Cheng Hui sneaked close to Meng Yunshang's ear and described in vivid detail what he had just heard from the maid and what he had imagined in his mind.

Finally, she concluded, "I guess Xia Yulan must have fallen for my brother-in-law. Although she is definitely not as good-looking as you, I can't stand her shamelessness."

"What if she takes advantage of you not noticing and offers herself to my brother-in-law?"

Meng Yunshang: “???”

That's a good point, don't say it next time.

Lu Chenxiao was more direct and kicked.

Cheng Hui screamed from being kicked.

"Brother-in-law, I was wrong. I believe you definitely don't like other coquettish bitches. I just wanted to remind my sister to be careful and take precautions."

"I think you're just bored," Lu Chenxiao continued kicking.

Cheng Hui was so scared that he ran and jumped.

"I'm not idle, really. These past two days I've been trying to find a way to pry Fang Yuan's mouth, but that old man won't say anything and always plays Tai Chi with me."

"The reason I came back today is to ask you sisters if you have any good ideas to make that old man confess as soon as possible."

"If you don't speak, it's probably because your punishment is not adequate," Meng Yunshang suggested to him seriously, "How about asking Xuan Wu and Xuan Qi to accompany you tomorrow?"

"Does it work?"

"You'll know if it works or not if you try it."

There are no such two guys who have such unexpected and sinister ideas.

Cheng Hui said sweetly, "Thank you, sister. It turns out that you love me the most."

Meng Yunshang laughed and reminded, "That's your brother-in-law's man. You should thank him if you want to thank anyone."

"Hey, then thank you, brother-in-law. You really are the most reasonable brother-in-law in the world."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

Don't think that this can cover up his recent provocation.

Cheng Hui noticed that his face was not right, and hurriedly said in a flattering manner, "Good brother-in-law, are you going to the welcoming banquet tomorrow?"

"My brother told me that Jincheng seems to be harmonious on the surface, but in fact the factional struggles among officials are very fierce. Xia Zhirong couldn't find anyone when he had something to do, so he would come up with excuses when nothing happened."

"People like this are not worth making friends with. And Xia Yulan, you can tell from the first glance that she is not a good person. Brother-in-law, please don't follow in my brother's footsteps."

Lu Chenxiao: "..."

"Do you think everyone is as stupid as him?"

"hey-hey……"

Cheng Hui rationally did not respond because he did not want to be in a difficult position.

*

Lu Chenxiao brought Meng Yunshang to attend the welcoming banquet the next day.

Unlike the magnificent Fang family's house, the Xia family's house is not only ordinary but also a little old.

But because of Xia Zhirong's status as prefect, there was a constant stream of people coming to the banquet today.

When the carriage with the emblem of Prince Heng's Palace stopped at the door, everyone looked up.
