Xia Xizhi's words left Huo Jin silent. He stared silently at Xia Xizhi's determined and stubborn eyes, swallowed back the harsh words he wanted to say, and softened his tone.

"I'm doing this for your own good. The princess doesn't look like a good person. You'll be safer in the general's mansion. If she invites you out, the confinement can be used as an excuse for not going."

Yang Yi was extremely surprised that Huo Jin said such a long sentence.

Master, are you explaining this specifically to Miss Xia?

When did the master say so many words to a woman...

Not to mention women, even for trusted subordinates, the master would be straightforward in what he wanted to do. No matter whether the subordinates had questions or not, he would not explain too much, not a single word more.

The general had said very few words to any of the women in the general's mansion, including that lady.

The master also went to the race today, but he was just observing secretly. Until the Princess of Dayong got on the horse, the master rode the horse and rushed over without thinking.

It seems that the master is afraid of this concubine Xia...

But didn't the master personally see this Concubine Xia flirting with the Second Master? Doesn't he mind at all?

Yang Yi couldn't understand it, but he secretly remembered in his heart that this concubine Xia was special in the master's heart.

Although Huo Jin's explanation was very stiff and serious, Xia Xizhi knew that he was really doing it for her own good, so she didn't say anything.

"I understand."

Huo Jin nodded, looked at Xia Xizhi again, said nothing, and turned away.

Back in the study, Huo Jin picked up his pen and tried to deal with official business, but his mind was always restless. The clothes on his chest seemed to still have a faint woman's scent, which occasionally drifted into his nose...

This made him think of the angry and stubborn little woman who refused to give in at all. She looked delicate and soft, but it was obvious that she was very strong.

He dared to question him and was so bold as to kick the person who was Princess Dayong.

It feels like she's capable of anything...

Huo Jin couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips and shook his head.

Thinking of something, Huo Jin suddenly became very serious again.

She is greedy for money and lustful, and she dares to have an affair with her brother-in-law right after getting married.

Unfaithful to one's husband!

Huo Jin pursed his lips tightly, feeling a tightness in his heart he had never felt before.

He had clearly asked someone to investigate before entering the mansion. His concubine sister Xia Jingshu was a dutiful person. Although she had no biological mother since childhood and had a weak personality, she listened to her biological mother and elder sister in everything and was considered obedient and sensible.

It's just that she doesn't have any ideas of her own, and besides being pretty, she doesn't have any other strengths...

Thinking of this, Huo Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.

But the Xia Xizhi he saw now seemed to be completely different from the one his subordinates reported to him...

Medical skills?

How did she learn this when she never leaves the house?

And she seemed to be deliberately concealing it. If it wasn't an extraordinary moment, she probably wouldn't have revealed it.

weak?

She is not weak, she even dares not to give the princess face... Can a person really change so much in just a few days?

I'm afraid there's something he hasn't investigated yet...

"Yang Yi!" Huo Jin said in a low and powerful voice. As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Yi landed in front of him.

"I am here, please give me your orders, Master."

"Investigate Xia Xizhi's life and past, no matter how big or small."

Yang Yi paused, "Madam Xia? Didn't the master have his subordinates investigate this before?"

Huo Jin raised his eyelids and looked at him.

"Investigate more carefully. Didn't you tell me before that there was nothing special about her except her appearance? Then what about her medical skills? Send someone to investigate thoroughly, from the moment she was born, and report every detail to me."

Yang Yi quickly replied,

"It's my fault. I'll send someone to investigate right away!"

......

There was still one round of competition, but Xuanyuan Qing said she didn't want to compete anymore, so the competition ended.

Prince Qin Yi saw that Xuanyuan Qing had feelings for Huo Jin, but he remained silent. He smiled and sent her to the arranged villa before leaving.

Qin Yi turned around and his expression changed immediately, something flashed in his eyes.

"Bai Zhuo, go find the old nanny from the Xia Mansion. I remember that Xia Xizhi and Xuanyuan Qing were about the same age, both seventeen years old..."

Bai Zhuo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood and was surprised.

"Your Highness, you suspect..."

"Don't you think that Xia Xizhi and the Third Prince of Dayong seem a bit too similar... Also, Xia Jingshu's attitude seems to be deliberately concealing the fact that Xia Xizhi is her half-sister, and only saying that she is a concubine in the general's mansion." Qin Yi's eyes flashed with teasing.

"I'm afraid the Xia family is just swapping cats for princesses. What a great show..."

Bai Zhuo's eyes were filled with gossipy excitement. "I'll send someone to look for him right away!"

......

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Xuanyuan Qing couldn't wait to pull Xuanyuan Yu,

"Royal brother, do you think General Huo looks familiar? I feel like I've seen him somewhere, but I can't remember where."

Xuanyuan Yu glanced at her sideways and scratched her nose.

"What a brain! Have you forgotten that a few years ago when you went to the border fortress, you happened to catch the Central Plains at war with the barbarians and were taken to the barbarian territory of Fancheng. At that time, Huo Jin, who was only seventeen years old, led only ten thousand men to repel fifty thousand barbarian soldiers, pursued the enemy, and directly captured the barbarian city of Fancheng."

"He was the one who sent you back."

Xuanyuan Qing's eyes lit up, "Oh, so he is the sloppy young man from that year!"

"Royal brother, it's really not my fault that I didn't recognize him. Back then, he was dressed in armor, with a beard battered by the wind and sun. He was completely different from now."

When she said this, Xuanyuan Qing's face turned slightly red.

"Oh, our first meeting turned out to be so embarrassing. I hate it so much..."

Xuanyuan Yu saw that she was in love, his face changed, he couldn't bear it but still said,

"He's married, you..."

"I know."

His wife is Xia Jingshu, she just found out.

Xuanyuan Qing replied nonchalantly,

"Royal brother, you don't know, my former adoptive mother was Madam Xia. She said that Xia Jingshu wanted to marry the crown prince and enter the Eastern Palace. She's very ambitious. It just so happens that, let her divorce Huo Jin, and I'll marry Huo Jin."

"But you were the second wife in the past, different from the original wife, are you willing?" Xuanyuan Yu paused.

"Royal brother, you know me. I have always been bold in love and hate. I don't care about those empty things. I like him and I must marry him."

At this point, Xia Wanqing frowned in annoyance.

"What I dislike most now is his concubine. She's the kind of woman who's always clinging to men. She knows some medical skills and likes to show them off. If I entered the general's mansion, she would definitely use unfair means to compete with me.

I am most annoyed by these troublesome young ladies... I am so annoyed."
