After marrying the heirless prince, I gave birth to three children

Xie's father's eyes were vague for a moment.

He feels guilty.

"This is about the Dali Temple case." Xiao Ji saw through it and refused, "It is not convenient for me to interfere."

Moreover, Xiao Ji believed that Pei Chen was not a reckless person. If he did this, there must be a reason.

"Your Highness..."

Xie's father was about to speak again when Xiao Ji's cold eyes fell on him.

When Xie's father saw Xiao Ji and Xie Yao covered in white, he realized what day it was. Even though he was unwilling, he could only swallow it back.

"Your Highness, please inform the Dali Temple. This matter concerns Ruer's reputation, so please do not spread it outside."

Xie's father looked very humble.

Xie Yao just watched coldly.

As a daughter, Xie's father had never considered her in this way.

Fortunately...

She doesn't need it either.

Xiao Ji did not comment and signaled the steward to send the guest away.

Miss Qingqing was extremely anxious, but she could not resist the warning look from Xie's father, so she had to follow him away reluctantly.

As soon as she left the house, she heard a grumbling voice coming in, "As the Crown Princess, you can't even save your own sister. I don't know what's the point of you..."

Zhu Qing sneered and immediately followed him out, his raised voice coming in clearly.

"Go to the gatehouse and tell them not to let any random people into the Prince's Mansion from now on."

Miss Qingqing was so angry that her nose was crooked. This was basically calling her by name.

But she couldn't do anything no matter how angry she was.

She is the biological mother of Xie Jing and Xie Yuru, but she is just a guest in the Xie family and her relationship with the Prince's Mansion is not close.

What Zhu Qing said...was not wrong in his insult.

Miss Qingqing's face was pale. As soon as she left the Prince's Mansion, she threw herself into Xie's arms, "My husband, I am the Crown Princess's concubine's mother after all. How could she allow the servants to humiliate me like this..."

Miss Qingqing's eyes were filled with tears, she sobbed softly and shook her father Xie's arm, "It's all Qingqing's fault. If Qingqing hadn't admired my husband and followed him without any status... I wouldn't have suffered this humiliation today."

"Woooooooo..."

Father Xie looked at the woman in his arms who had a slim figure, a gentle temperament, was stupid but loved him wholeheartedly, and held her in his arms.

"Don't worry, my dear. Later... I will definitely let you vent your anger."

Miss Qingqing stopped sobbing and looked up at Father Xie eagerly, "Are you serious, my husband?"

Thinking of the news he had just learned a few days ago, a chill flashed in Xie's father's eyes, "When has your husband ever lied to you?"

Qingqing immediately raised the back of her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and burst into laughter, "The Crown Princess is also my husband's daughter. Are you really willing to let her go?"

Father Xie held Miss Qingqing's hand and said, "In my heart, only the pair of children between you and me are my children."

Father Xie said to the outside world: "Go to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion."

Since the prince couldn't get through, he went to look for the Marquis of Zhenbei.

But Mr. Xie was destined to go there in vain.

As soon as they left, Pei Chen arrived at the Prince's Mansion. He walked in with a chill, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

Xiao Ji asked, "What's going on?"

Pei Chen's voice was cold, "A few days ago, I asked someone to check the accounts of the Military Equipment Bureau and found some omissions."

"Someone at the Arms Depot falsely reported scrap materials, secretly shipping off excess weapons. I learned about one of the perpetrators yesterday and spent the entire night on the lookout."

"We were about to catch that guy, but unexpectedly..."

Pei Chen was really angry!

"Your Highness, I was so wrong." Pei Chen sighed, "I never took Miss Xie Third seriously before."

"Now it seems that I underestimated women."

What can't be done?

Number one in trouble!

Xiao Ji was helpless. "These people must be very sharp. If they scare him away this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him again."

Pei Chen snorted coldly, "If you catch him again, you'll end up in Yama Palace."

"This man had just escaped the encirclement and died in the moat less than half an hour later." Pei Chen's voice was terrifyingly cold. "These people are quick to kill people."

Xiao Ji understood everything completely.

No wonder Pei Chen was so angry.

The person who was originally sure to be caught was frightened by Xie Yuru, and the clues were completely cut off...

Pei Chen took a deep breath and continued, "I know Your Highness is in a difficult situation. I will release Third Miss Xie when I return."

After all, she is the Crown Prince's sister-in-law...

"What's the problem?" Xiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at Pei Chen and said, "A prince who breaks the law is subject to the same punishment as a commoner."

"Just follow the law, Marquis Zhenbei."

Pei Chen hesitated, "What about the Crown Princess..."

Xiao Ji's eyes immediately became alert, "This is also what my Crown Princess meant."

He is asserting his sovereignty.

Pei Chen didn't understand, he just thought His Highness was a little weird, "Yes, Your Highness."

Send Pei Chen away.

When Xiao Ji returned to the main courtyard, Xie Yao had already finished washing and was fumigating her hair. The room was filled with a warm fragrance that was refreshing.

He washed his hands and walked to the couch.

He took the towel from Zhu Qing's hand and carefully wiped Xie Yao's soft black hair.

Xie Yao noticed the change in strength and opened her eyes to see Xiao Ji with a serious expression. She raised her hand to hook Xiao Ji's sleeve and said in a sweet voice, "Your Highness."

After taking a bath, Xie Yao was wearing loose pajamas, and the moment she raised her hand, the sleeves slipped down.

The slender arms are exposed, so white that they are dazzling.

Xiao Ji's eyes softened a bit, and he gently wiped Xie Yao's long hair and asked, "Are you satisfied with the Crown Princess I serve?"

Xie Yao pretended to think for a moment before saying, "Not bad."

"reward."

"What reward?" Xiao Ji asked more and more.

Xie Yao knew what His Highness was thinking from his expression. She leaned closer to Xiao Ji and kissed him on the cheek, "Is that enough?"

Xiao Ji shook his head, "Not enough."

Xie Yao glared at him, "Your Highness is so greedy."

Xiao Ji picked her up by the waist and placed her on the bed. "Save the Crown Princess's reward for now."

Today is not the right day.

Xiao Ji kissed Xie Yao and then turned around to take a bath.

The next day.

As soon as Xie Yao woke up, Zhu Qing hurried in and said with a grim expression, "Crown Princess, something bad has happened."

"The news that the Third Miss did not return to the Xie family all night has spread throughout the capital."

Xie Yao took a deep breath and said, "Tell me in detail."

If a woman didn't come home all night, the rumors outside would be so ugly. It would be fine if it was just Xie Yuru.

She and Xie Yujiao are both daughters of the Xie family, so both will be implicated.

Logically speaking, whether it was her, Zhang, or Miss Qingqing, they would cover up this matter.

As for His Highness and the Marquis of Zhenbei, this news should not spread...

"It's Miss Qingqing."

Zhu Qing said, "Miss Qingqing badmouthed you to the wife of Lord Xie's colleague, and she let slip something in her words:...the Third Miss went to look for the Marquis of Zhenbei and didn't return all night..."

Xie Yao: “…”

How could there be someone in the world who could be so stupid?
