Quickly wear a child, the villain is more favored, who wants the male protagonist?

Outside the door of the imperial study, groups of palace maids stood respectfully with their heads lowered. When they were called, they quickly entered the imperial study, ten in and ten out.

Until all the palace maids, even the lowest-ranking maids in the Xinzheku, as long as they were female, had walked through the imperial study.

The palace maids who came out were whispering to each other in twos and threes, trying to guess the emperor's intentions.

"What are you talking about? Do you want to be beheaded? Hurry up and do your job." The aunt in charge scolded, and the palace maids immediately shut up and left quickly.

In the imperial study, Ye Yin's expression became increasingly ugly.

All the concubines in the harem were examined, and there was no woman so bold as to act.

Now he looked at all the palace maids and even the elderly wet nurses and nannies, and he was sure that none of them was her.

"Jiang Tong!" Ye Yin's tone suddenly became cold, his face serious and gloomy.

"I'm here!" A man dressed in the uniform of a royal guard immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"The palace you manage is very good!"

Jiang Tong broke out in a cold sweat. Although he didn't know what had gone wrong, he immediately apologized, "I have failed in my management duties. Your Majesty, please punish me!"

"You deserve to be punished," Ye Yin said in a serious and low voice, "Someone entered the cold pond last night."

"What?!" Jiang Tong was stunned, his face turned pale, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"I acknowledge my guilt! Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me a chance to redeem myself and make meritorious contributions!"

"I'll keep the head on your neck for now. Now send someone to capture that woman for me..."

woman?

Jiang Tong paused, "Yes!"

......

Two days passed quickly, and it was time for Xia Xizhi to return home.

Like any other wealthy family, Fei Zhen observes all the necessary etiquette. As for dealing with people outside, Fei Zhen, who is capable of being a powerful official, is quite adept at it.

Xia Xizhi's father and mother were very satisfied with his performance, and the family was very happy.

After dinner, they chatted in the waterside pavilion. Xia Xizhi's eyes were full of tenderness towards Fei Zhen the whole time...

"My dear husband, are you satisfied with the room that my mother has arranged for you? If you need anything else, please let me know and I will arrange it."

The sun was not as strong in the afternoon, and soft light fell on Xia Xizhi's little face as he looked up at him, as if it was filtered.

Her fair skin was dotted with pink, her cherry-like lips were moist and attractive, and under her long eyelashes were a pair of smiling phoenix eyes, with a blush on the corners of her eyes. Unlike ordinary beauties, there was a hint of charm in her temperament, which made her particularly alluring.

Fei Zhen was so stunned that she just stared at him and forgot to reply.

"What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied, my husband? I'll make some other arrangements..."

Xia Xizhi stood up. Fei Zhen reacted and instinctively reached out to hold Xia Xizhi's hand. "No, I'm not dissatisfied. I was distracted just now. I'm sorry."

Xia Xizhi, whose hand was held, pretended to be shy and blushed as she whispered, "As long as my husband likes it."

Fei Zhen, who was holding Xia Xi's hand, paused slightly. Her hand was so small, as if only half the size of his, soft and tender... Was her body also like her hand...

Fei Zhen suddenly realized what he was thinking, and his face changed instantly. He withdrew his hand.

What was he thinking? He promised Ruolan that they would be together for the rest of their lives.

Feeling the subtle change in Fei Zhen's facial expression, Xia Xizhi raised his eyebrows inadvertently. Why did he change his heart?

At this moment, Fei Zhen's guard came over to report, "My Lord, someone is looking for you. They said they have something to ask you. They are waiting outside."

Fei Zhen nodded and said, "Call her over."

A moment later, a person dressed as a maid walked in quickly.

When he saw the person coming, Fei Zhen's expression changed for a moment. He stood up and walked over. The maid whispered something to him and he nodded.

Xia Xizhi narrowed his eyes. This maid was specially arranged by Fei Zhen for Liu Ruolan.

According to the original plot, Liu Ruolan deliberately called Fei Zhen away on the day the original owner returned home, and seduced Fei Zhen so that she did not come back all night.

She even deliberately pestered him the next morning and wouldn't let him leave. The two of them lingered for a long time, so Fei Zhen didn't come to pick Xia Xizhi up until noon.

The original owner's mother, Shen Qiao, had a bad temper. She scolded Fei Zhen angrily, causing Fei Zhen to lose face and becoming the talk of the town in the imperial city.

He didn't say anything and kept apologizing, but he was a scheming and vindictive person. From then on, he treated the original owner even worse and took all his revenge on him.

.....

Just as Xia Xizhi was recalling the plot, Fei Zhen came back and said apologetically, "Madam, I have something urgent to deal with..."

"My dear husband, if you have something to do, just go and do your own thing. I will tell my father and mother about this. Don't worry, my dear husband." Xia Xizhi looked understanding and straightened Fei Zhen's sleeves.

Fei Zhen paused, and without needing to repeat the excuse she had prepared, she nodded and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding."

"It's my duty. We are husband and wife as one. You are working hard outside, and I should ensure that you don't have to worry about anything." Xia Xizhi smiled tenderly.

Fei Zhen was silent for a moment, "I'll be back as soon as possible."

"I will wait for my husband to come back before I go to sleep." After saying that, Xia Xizhi lowered her head shyly, her ears slightly red.

Fei Zhen was stunned for a moment, his mind suddenly became confused, he nodded and left in a hurry.

.....

In a villa somewhere in the imperial city, Liu Ruolan saw Fei Zhen and walked up to her and hugged her waist tenderly.

"Brother Fei, Ruolan feels anxious for some reason. Brother Fei, please help Ruolan..."

As he spoke, Lafizhen placed his hand on his chest.

"You little devil, I really thought you were sick! Just wait and see how Brother Fei punishes you!" Fei Zhen yelled angrily, picked her up sideways and walked into the house.

From an angle that Fei Zhen couldn't see, a look of pride flashed across her face.

So what if Xia Xizhi is the daughter of a great general? She is dull, rigid and boring, and will be defeated by her sooner or later.

No, I have been defeated by her.

Not only did Fei Zhen not touch her, he even assigned her guards... She'll probably be furious when she finds out the truth.

Even today, such an important day as returning home, she can be called out at a glance.

Sooner or later, she will replace Xia Xizhi and become the mistress of the Marquisate and the future regent princess...

......

As night fell, Shen Qiao still hadn't seen Fei Zhen return, and his face was filled with anger. "Fei Zhen, what's wrong? You're coming back home today, and he's just going to leave you like that?"

"It's getting dark soon. Is he not coming back?"

Xia Xizhi nodded indifferently, "Yes."

Shen Qiao slammed the table, "How ridiculous! Send someone to arrest him! He abandoned Xizhi on the day he returned home. How can our daughter maintain her dignity in the future?"

The burly Xia Yuanzhang next to him was startled by Shen Qiao's slamming of the table, and almost dropped the tea in his hand...

"Don't worry, ma'am. Ahem, I'll send someone to look for it right away."

Xia Xizhi couldn't help but want to laugh. Her general father looked scary, but he was henpecked. It was true that there was always someone who could conquer you.

The original owner's mother, Shen Qiao, came from a merchant family, but not an ordinary merchant. She could be said to be the richest person in the country. Although she looked petite, she had been dealing with all kinds of people since she was a child and had a very tough personality.

Xia Yuanzhang was originally attracted by the scene where she pinched her waist and cursed in the street, and begged the matchmaker to introduce her...

Xia Xizhi coughed lightly, "Father and Mother, there's no need to look for him. He probably won't be coming back."

Xia Xizhi found an excuse for Fei Zhen, then comforted Shen Qiao, and finally Shen Qiao nodded reluctantly.

Late at night, Fei Zhen and Liu Ruolan used to be full of energy, but today he felt a little absent-minded. He couldn't help but think of Xia Xizhi saying that she would wait until he came back before going to sleep...

"Ruolan, today is the day she returns home, so I have to go back." Fei Zhen stood up and put on her clothes.
