"So the group of people who broke into Xiao's house last night were dad..." Halfway through his words, he quickly closed his mouth under Liu Xiang's glare.

Some things just need to be clear in your heart.

Liu Chengyu hurriedly changed the topic: "Is this the third young lady of the Lu family? My son wants to meet her properly, but he dares to plot against Yao'er." So much so that he forced the Liu family to do this.

It is said that when Yaoer married Xiao Muheng, she was also plotted by her. She was found lying on the bed with a man disheveled, which ruined her innocence. She had no choice but to marry Xiao Muheng.

His sister is the only legitimate daughter in the prime minister's house.

He was pampered and had a noble status since he was a child, but he didn't expect that he would die in such a humiliating way.

Liu Xiang looked at Liu Chengyu and said calmly: "That girl relied on the queen's favor to become the adopted daughter of An Guogong. You should be careful and don't get caught."

Liu Chengyu nodded solemnly: "Yes, Dad."

…

In the past few days, people could be heard talking about the Xiao family's destruction in teahouses and taverns in the capital. The interest in gossip only increased, but Lu Xiang took advantage of this opportunity to take down the Xiao family's pawn shop and bank.

In the warm pavilion of Qixia Courtyard, everything was quiet. Green smoke rose from the hollowed-out incense burner, and the only sound was the sound of turning pages.

Every time he read a page, Lu Xiang made a note in the book at hand.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" sound and the door was pushed open.

Lu Xiang thought it was her maid, so she said without raising her head: "Bring me a cup of tea quickly, I'm dying of thirst."

Soon, the teacup was handed to her.

Lu Xiang took it smoothly, and suddenly saw the clearly articulated palm out of the corner of his eye. He was slightly startled, and then looked up suddenly.

The sunshine outside the window shines on the man's face, which is full of soft light, and his cold face is dyed with a vivid smile.

"Are you back?"

Lu Xiang stood up happily and looked at Chu Jinyan with a clear smile.

"Yes." His deep voice was like an alluring string, gently teasing Lu Xiang's heart: "Drink water first."

Lu Xiang picked up the teacup, took a casual sip, and then looked at Chu Jinyan with bright eyes: "When did you come back?"

"I arrived in the morning." Chu Jinyan looked at the moving look in her eyes, which was as touching as the sun. He was shocked, hugged her into his arms, and murmured softly: "I miss you."

Lu Xiang pursed her lips shyly, and her beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled: "Me too."

"Miss, miss." At this moment, Ah Man's cheerful voice sounded outside the door, and the next moment she pushed the door open arrogantly...

The incident happened in the blink of an eye, giving Lu Xiang no time to buffer and withdraw from Chu Jinyan's arms, before he was knocked into a head-on by Aman.

A row of black lines slid down Lu Xiang's forehead: "..."

Is she too indulgent towards Ah Man?

So I developed the habit of entering the house directly without waiting for her to respond.

If the maid sees it, do you feel shameless?

cough!

But...as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Lu Xiang calmly pulled away Chu Jinyan's hand that was holding her, took two steps back calmly, and then looked at Aman.

"My slave wants to say that His Highness the Eighth Prince has returned to the capital." Ah Man swallowed his saliva and finished the second half of what he had just finished.

Then he looked to the side with his stiff neck, braving the cold air, wishing he could freeze her into a popsicle, and his eyes wished he could eat her Chu Jin Banquet: "Ah...hahaha, His Highness is here, you go on, I'll take my leave."

After that, he ran away like a gust of wind.

The corner of Lu Xiang's mouth twitched fiercely, and she looked speechlessly at Aman, who was running faster than a rabbit.

Ah Man ran back into the house in one breath. Wuyue saw her face turned pale and frightened, and asked, "What's wrong? She looks like she's seen a ghost."

Ah Man patted her chest, grabbed the jujube cake she hadn't finished eating in the morning, took a big bite, and said in shock: "It's scarier than seeing a ghost."

Wuwuwu, he couldn't hold the third lady because of his intrusion. The dissatisfied expression on His Highness the Eighth Prince's face was simply too terrifying.

Blame her?

You don't even say a word when you come to Qixiayuan. If she knows, she will never bother you.

Ah Man felt that his strong little heart was about to be riddled with holes from the Eighth Prince's fright.

Now only delicious food can soothe her soul.

Yun Zhe looked suspicious as he listened to Ah Man's confused words, but seeing as she was still able to eat, she must be fine.

"You eat slowly, I'll go find the lady."

After Yun Zhe finished speaking, he stood up and walked out the door.

As soon as she took a step, a hand held her.

"What's wrong?" Yun Zhe turned his head and looked at Ah Man and asked.

Aman swallowed what was in his mouth, looked at Yunzhe meaningfully and said, "I advise you not to go now."

"Why?" Yunzhe asked in surprise.

Ah Man sighed quietly, his expression indescribable: "It's not convenient for me to see people now, you know."

"I understand..." What?

Yun Zhe just finished speaking when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Ah Man dumbfounded: "Is that... coming?" Without making any sound in the middle, Yun Zhe silently said "Eighth Prince" with his mouth movements.

Character.

Ah Man nodded with a sad look on his face.

In the room, Lu Xiang glanced at Chu Jinyan sadly: "Don't show up suddenly in broad daylight in the future."

Chu Jinyan raised his eyebrows slightly, and the smile on his lips became more charming: "What do you mean, come at night?"

You can't show up suddenly during the day, so you can come at night.

When Lu Xiang heard this, she almost spat out her saliva in shock. She stared at Chu Jinyan with a horrified look on her face: "Don't just guess what I mean."

Chu Jinyan squinted his eyes at Lu Xiang, his gaze slightly accusing: What did I say wrong?

"Is it going well for you to go to Changcheng?" Lu Xiang quickly changed the subject.

What he was referring to was the secret meeting with General Shen.

Chu Jinyan said: "General Shen did not express his position immediately, but he also did not explicitly refuse. I think there is something wrong."

"Are you sure?" Lu Xiang asked.

Chu Jinyan smiled sternly, his expression full of calmness and confidence: "If you are not sure, I will turn him into a sure one."

Lu Xiang was startled for a moment, then chuckled.

So arrogant and domineering, but also heart-pounding.

"I heard that Duke An Guo adopted you as his adopted daughter?" Chu Jinyan suddenly asked.

"Yes." Lu Xiang nodded.

"My mother has really helped me a lot. She came into the palace to thank her soon." Chu Jinyan said with a low smile.

Lu Xiang glanced at him helplessly.

"I heard that the Xiao Mansion was destroyed by bandits overnight."

Lu Xiang: "Well, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have been investigating this matter these days. Liu Xiang thinks it is a vendetta, and he deliberately fights against him. In this way, the nature of the matter has changed. Not surprisingly, the court

Many people secretly speculate that this matter has something to do with you. I think it was him who destroyed the Xiao family, but in this way he was able to stay out of the incident and become the injured party."

After all, there are not many people who dare to go against Liu Xiang.
