When Si Qingshan heard his father ask this, he knew that he wanted to answer in person.

Although it would be embarrassing to refuse, Si Qingshan could only bite the bullet and say, "Father, I don't want to get married for the time being."

There was a slight silence in the air, and the disappointment in Jia Zhongchun's eyes could hardly be concealed.

No matter how you look at it, this marriage was indeed an out-of-place one for him.

Jia Zhongchun forced a smile and said, "I understand. I can understand why General Qingshan looks down on Mu He."

"No." Si Qingshan said in a gentle tone, "Miss Mu He is very good. It's Qingshan who is unlucky. Qingshan is a rough man and is busy with military affairs all year round. If they get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the girl and it will be unfair to her."

Si Qingshan knew that Jia Zhongchun was mainly seeking protection, but he also knew that with the protection of Prince Yong's men, nothing would happen to the Jia family.

Furthermore, Mo Han patrolled the entire city in the past two days, especially strengthening patrols in the Situ Mansion and the Jia Mansion, where accidents were prone to occur.

If anything happens in the Jia family, all the guards in the capital will be dispatched immediately.

"I understand what General Qingshan means." Jia Zhongchun's eyes were filled with disappointment. "In that case, I will not disturb you any further. I am leaving."

Jia Zhongchun stood up and walked out. Si Zhengxuan stood up to see him off, and Si Qingshan followed behind his father to see him off.

At this moment, Jia Muhe suddenly turned around and glanced at Si Qingshan. He had just called her Miss Muhe, not Miss Jia...

At least he knew her name, right?

General Si hadn't even raised his eyes to look at her just now. I believe that no matter if she was Miss Jia or a girl from another family, he would have rejected her...

Si Qingshan only felt a pair of gazes in front of him, and when he looked up suddenly, he saw that Jia Muhe had just turned away.

Si Qingshan felt that this Miss Jia looked familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere.

"Master Jia." At this moment, Si Yan walked out of the door and called Jia Zhongchun.

Jia Zhongchun paused and turned to look at Si Yan. Jia Muhe also followed his father and turned back.

Si Qingshan looked up and saw Jia Muhe's face, and was slightly stunned.

Si Yan walked up slowly and said to Jia Zhongchun, "Master Jia, I see that Miss Jia is weak and seems to lack conditioning and exercise. I have been wielding swords and spears since I was young and have a strong body. If you don't mind, I can teach Miss Jia some boxing and kicking skills every day to help her improve her physical fitness and strengthen her body."

Jia Zhongchun had communicated with Si Yan at the border and knew that Si Yan was sharp and intelligent, so he almost immediately understood what Si Yan meant.

Jia Zhongchun bowed to Si Yan and said, "Miss Si, if you are willing to teach me a few moves to strengthen my body, I will be very grateful."

Si Yan smiled slightly: "Master Jia, you are welcome. Considering that it is inconvenient for Miss Jia to travel back and forth between the Jia Mansion and the Situ Mansion every day, if Master Jia is at ease, you can let Miss Jia stay in the Situ Mansion for a while. When Miss Jia recovers, I will send her back."

Si Zhengxuan: ...

Isn't it inappropriate for this girl to do this?

Jia Zhongchun spoke excitedly, "Miss Si, if Mu He could learn even a little bit of Miss Si's skills, it would be her blessing! Mu He, why don't you thank Miss Si quickly?"

"Thank you, Miss Si." Jia Muhe bowed slightly to Si Yan.

"You're welcome." Si Yan said softly.

Jia Zhongchun looked at Si Yan with eyes full of gratitude. He resorted to this desperate measure because he was worried about his daughter's life. He didn't expect that Si Qingshan didn't like his daughter, but Miss Si gave him a way out.

As long as his daughter can stay in the Situ Mansion and her life is safe, he will have nothing to worry about.

"Father, I'm going to see Master Jia off."

Si Yan sent Jia Zhongchun and his daughter out separately: "Master Jia, go back today to prepare the things that Miss Jia needs, and come back tomorrow morning."

Jia Zhongchun couldn't help but say, "Miss Si, if they take action tonight."

It can be seen that Jia Zhongchun is very wary of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Of course, given his current situation, he has to be wary.

Si Yan smiled slightly: "Then let them try to catch me."

"What do you mean, Miss Si?"

Si Yan waved to Jia Zhongchun, and Jia Zhongchun leaned over to him. Si Yan whispered in his ear, "Tonight, I'll sleep in Miss Jia's room..."

Jia Zhongchun immediately understood everything.

When Si Yan came back after seeing Jia Zhongchun and his daughter off, her brother Si Qingshan had already gone back to deal with military affairs, and only her father was still waiting here.

Si Zhengxuan looked at his daughter with deep eyes: "Yan'er, what do you want to do?"

Si Yan smiled and said, "Father, Lord Jia loves his daughter just as much as you do..."

"Hmph! Do you still know that your father loves you?" Si Zhengxuan stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Of course I know, father." Si Yan stepped forward and took his father's arm. "Lord Jia has decided to join us, but his daughter is his weak spot. Lord Jia is just worried about his daughter and wants to seek protection from the Situ Mansion. As long as Miss Jia can stay in the Situ Mansion, Lord Jia will feel that his daughter's life will be guaranteed, and he will let go and fully assist us in dealing with Concubine Xin and Prime Minister's party."

Si Zhengxuan pondered for a moment and said with concern, "But Miss Jia is a woman living in the Situ Mansion. If someone says something gossipy in the future..."

"Dad, there will always be gossip from people. Doing your own thing and walking your own path is the most important thing."

Si Zhengxuan stared but said nothing in the end. What the girl said was right.

Si Yan thought of his eldest brother who had escaped so quickly, and couldn't help but smile and said to his father, "How do you know, Dad, that my eldest brother doesn't like Miss Jia? Maybe one day, Miss Jia will become your daughter-in-law."

"Didn't your elder brother reject her in person?"

Si Zhengxuan actually felt that Miss Jia was quiet and gentle, and was a good match for Qingshan.

"It's their first meeting, so who knows if they'll like each other in the future? Besides, before Big Brother rejected Miss Jia, he didn't even look at her once."

"He didn't see it?" Si Zhengxuan didn't notice this.

"Yes." Si Yan had been paying attention to her elder brother's reaction. Finally, she called Jia Zhongchun and asked him to send his daughter to Situ Mansion. She made the decision after seeing her brother's reaction.

"Okay, father." Si Yan said seriously, "Whether big brother likes it or not, Miss Jia will know after living in the mansion for a while. Besides, Master Jia doesn't care about those gossips, so we don't have to worry about it."

"..."

Si Yan grinned and said, "Didn't my brother object to me keeping Miss Jia? Who knows what he's thinking?"

Si Yan felt that the look in her brother's eyes when he looked at Miss Jia at the end was a little strange, as if he had seen Miss Jia before.

Si Yan also noticed that when Miss Jia left with her father, she looked back at her brother reluctantly, and it was obvious that she was interested in her eldest brother.

Si Yan turned around and looked at his silent father: "Father, you haven't slept all night, you should go back to your room and rest for a while. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, just let my brother and I go, don't worry about our affairs."

Si Zhengxuan: ...

He really wanted to give this girl a few beatings. Could he just ignore it?

"You, you..." Si Zhengxuan raised his index finger and pointed at his daughter. He couldn't bear to say anything to her. He just sighed and said, "I have to go see Prince Yong."

Si Yan smiled and looked at his father: "Do you want me to take you there?"

"Hmph!" Si Zhengxuan flicked his long sleeves and walked out with his hands behind his back. The coachman from Situ Mansion hurriedly drove the carriage over.

Si Yan looked at her father's disappearing back, a smile appearing on her lips. This father really loves her as a daughter.
