Xiao Jiayan still had a trace of rationality left. When he saw Xiao Yun, he opened his mouth and uttered these words with difficulty.

He looked straight at Xiao Yun. Was it because his ability was not as good as Xiao Yun's that their father had always been pessimistic about him?

He chose such a remote place, why was Xiao Yun still able to find them?

Xiao Jiayan really couldn't understand why it turned out like this?

"take away!"

Xiao Yun just glanced at him, without saying much, and directly led his men and took Xiao Jiayan away.

He didn't take Xiao Jiayan anywhere, but sent him directly to Xiao Zhenyue.

Xiao Zhenyue was woken up in the middle of the night. When he learned that Xiao Yun had brought Xiao Jiayan back, he was still a little confused.

It was not until he saw Xiao Jiayan lying on the ground with a red face that Xiao Zhenyue could be sure that Xiao Jiayan was really captured.

However, everyone looked at Xiao Zhenyue with a somewhat unpleasant look at this time, especially since they had been squatting outside for a whole day and were shivering with cold, while Xiao Zhenyue was sleeping with a concubine beside him. The concubine had obviously been woken up, and her face looked extremely ugly at this time.

When everyone saw this scene, their faces looked very ugly.

They never thought it would turn out like this.

"Xiao Yun, why are you all wet? Go back to the house and change your clothes!" Xiao Zhenyue only glanced at Xiao Jiayan and then looked away. However, when he saw that Xiao Yun's military uniform was soaked and had a hint of coldness, he was shocked.

How did he do this?

Make yourself like this?

"Nothing! He has been caught and handed over to my father." Xiao Yun did not want to stay any longer. He just glanced at the current situation and knew that there was nothing for him to stay any longer.

My father's mind is probably full of the unfinished business with the third concubine.

"Take him back and lock him up!" Xiao Zhenyue said.

However, Xiao Yun had already turned around and walked out.

Xiao Zhenyue was a little angry, but since Xiao Yun's body was soaked in the short time, he probably thought it was because of arresting Xiao Jiayan, so he didn't say anything more.

He just glanced at Xiao Jiayan and asked someone to take him away.

"Marshal, the second young master seems to have a fever and his body is very hot." The person who came in saw this and spoke up immediately.

Xiao Zhenyue glanced at Xiao Jiayan, walked up and put his hand on Xiao Jiayan's forehead. The scorching temperature was really shocking.

"Find a doctor to see him, and lock him up in the mansion, and have someone keep a close watch on him." Xiao Zhenyue said, and then he put his arm around the third concubine and was about to go upstairs. However, after just two steps forward, Xiao Zhenyue suddenly stopped and added, "Find an iron chain to lock him up. It's not easy to catch the young marshal, so don't let him escape again!"

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhenyue was already walking upstairs with his third concubine in his arms. The third concubine glanced at Xiao Jiayan who was being taken away and said, "Marshal, the second young master is the second wife's son. It's not good to lock him up like this!"

Hearing this, Xiao Zhenyue's face was so ugly that it could not be described.

"What does Xie Qingmei want to say? Since when does this Marshal have to look at her and Xie Qingmei's expressions?" Xiao Zhenyue's face turned pale.

Upon hearing this, the Third Concubine hurriedly said, "Marshal, that's not what I meant. It's just... when the Second Madam was in the mansion, she always said that the Second Young Master was her son, the Marshal's favorite son. And in his mother's family..."

"Is that what Xie Qingmei said?" Xiao Zhenyue's face turned ashen and gloomy.

The third concubine shrank her neck and said, "Marshal, did I say something wrong?"

The third concubine looked as if she didn't mean it.

She secretly paid attention to Xiao Zhenyue's expression. Seeing Xiao Zhenyue's ugly face, Xie Qingmei secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When Xie Qingmei was in the Governor's Mansion, they had never been able to cause trouble for Xie Qingmei, and with Xie Qingmei's support, they would never appear in front of Xiao Zhenyue unless Xiao Zhenyue came to find them.

And every time Xiao Zhenyue came to see them, he would be punished by Xie Qingmei.

If they showed up in front of Xiao Zhenyue without knowing what was good for them, they would be dead.

Before, they didn't dare to do anything when Xie Qingmei was in the mansion. After all, she was the main wife, and they were just concubines. They had to rely on Xie Qingmei for their livelihood, so how could they dare not disobey her?

Xiao Jiayan has always been close to them and has a gentle attitude. If Xie Qingmei did anything, Xiao Jiayan would apologize to them privately.

If Xiao Jiayan had not played a certain role in the middle, they would have already come to Xiao Zhenyue's presence.

As a result, who would have thought that Xiao Jiayan would be such a person.

In this case, they have nothing to worry about, so they quickly put some eye drops in front of Xiao Zhenyue.

"You go back to your room and rest. I'll go take care of some things." Xiao Zhenyue said in a deep voice.

The third concubine was slightly taken aback, but they were always sensible and would never let Xiao Zhenyue be unhappy about this. "Marshal, it's so late, you must take care of yourself. If you are busy, I will go back to the house first!"

After saying this, the third concubine turned around and went back into the house.

When closing the door, she deliberately slowed down a bit. Looking at Xiao Zhenyue's back as he left, the third concubine closed the door, and her mood improved a little.

Xie Qingmei lived too comfortably in the countryside. Thinking of the grievances they had suffered over the years, Xie Qingmei deserved to die.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of something. After making sure that Xiao Zhenyue had left, she curled her lips and called her confidant to tell him a few words.

After dealing with these things, the third concubine's mood finally improved, and she no longer felt sad about Xiao Zhenyue going out.

Anyway, he is happy now.

……

"Young Marshal, please have a bowl of ginger soup."

Butler Xu put a bowl of ginger soup on the table and saw that Xiao Yun was pale from the cold. Especially when he just walked in, the coldness on Xiao Yun's body was as if he had been trapped in the cold wind for several hours.

Butler Xu didn't have time to think about it, but quickly asked the kitchen to cook chicken soup.

"Thank you!" Xiao Yun took it and said gratefully.

Butler Xu was somewhat flattered, and obviously did not expect to hear Xiao Yun say this.

"Young Marshal, I asked the servants to boil some hot water. You can take a bath in it later to feel more comfortable." Butler Xu said again.

She was originally Liao Yinghua's maidservant who came with her as a dowry. She had been responsible for taking care of Xiao Yun for so many years. Seeing Xiao Yun getting herself into this state, Housekeeper Xu felt distressed and quickly asked the servants to prepare. After seeing Xiao Yun drink the ginger soup, Housekeeper Xu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Butler Xu, please take stock of the family assets recently." Xiao Yun suddenly said.

Butler Xu was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiao Yun with some confusion, "Young... Young Marshal, is there something wrong?"

Xiao Yun shook his head slightly and said, "No!"

"Then why?" Butler Xu looked at Xiao Yun in confusion, and was even more confused.

Since nothing happened, why did Xiao Yun suddenly want to count the family assets? This was very strange no matter how you look at it.

Xiao Yun sat up straight, looked out the window, and said, "Prepare the betrothal gifts."

Butler Xu was stunned at first, then asked hurriedly, "Young Marshal, are you going to propose to Miss Shen?"

Xiao Yun responded, "Yes! I'm going to propose to her."
