"The two of you are really interested, when you get to this prison, you can still talk and laugh, and I'm really curious, are you ignorant and fearless, or do you have any confidence." Butler Cui walked to the door of the cell and asked.

"What do you say?" Li Mu sat on the stool and turned around to look at the housekeeper.

"I don't care what you are, as long as you are in this prison, you don't want to get out alive." Steward Cui had a gloomy face.

"Just to kill you for us?"

"Yes, although that person is like an ant, but that person is also my person, the person who killed me is to sweep my face, I can not care about people, but my face can't be swept, so you have to consider yourself unlucky, and you don't want to see who it is for the heavens." Steward Cui sneered.

"I didn't expect your face to be so big, I'm really scared? Li Mu, I remember that at the birthday banquet of the former emperor last year, I swept the face of the third prince, and he didn't seem to treat me well, even if he is now the emperor. Zhou Xiya said.

"You ......" Steward Cui felt a chill in his heart, what kind of person is this, even the emperor has seen it.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, if you want to be punished, we don't have time to spend time with you here, but I kindly remind you, if you really want to use the punishment on us, don't blame us for being polite." Li Mu put down the teacup.

Steward Cui hesitated, not knowing whether to arrest these two people.

At this time, the cell door opened, and a group of people walked in, the first of which were Xiao Jingqing and Zhou Xiya's cousin, who were brought in by the official Cheng in fear.

"Get someone out of here," Steward Cui waved his hand to his hand.

Li Mu and Zhou Xiya didn't wait for anyone to catch them, and walked out automatically.

When a few people walked out. happened to run into Xiao Jingqing and them who came in.

"Steward Cui, where are you taking my sister with you?" Zhou Xiqian was the first to speak.

"Young lady? Why did you come to prison, Xiao Gongzi? Steward Cui looked at a few people.

"I'm here to pick up my ignorant sister, she bumped into Steward Cui, I replaced my sister to Steward Cui to say no, but my sister has always been pampered by my cousin, my cousin is in charge of the border pass, although you are a general who protects the country, and is busy with political affairs, so I neglect to discipline my sister. I've already interceded with my father on behalf of my sister. I also asked Steward Cui to let my sister go, if you still have any dissatisfaction, I will bear it, I don't know what Steward Cui thinks? Zhou Xiqian said with no yin or yang.

"Young lady. You're a tormented old slave. No matter how bold the old slave is, he doesn't dare to ask the young lady to apologize to me. The old slave really doesn't know that this is your sister, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, and his family doesn't recognize his own family. The old slave really didn't know that she was General Zhou's daughter, otherwise he would not dare to put her in prison if he gave the old slave one more courage. "Steward Cui saw that things were not good, and knelt down to plead guilty.

This young lady is a woman of the Zhou family, and she has a very high status in the house, because of the conflict between the housekeeper before, the two had some estrangement, and the young lady also pulled the second housekeeper down to her side, so he was a little dissatisfied with this young lady, but now he has to bow his head, this matter has been in front of the master, and he is still the daughter of the general who protects the country, the master may hand him over to calm Zhou Jianxiong's anger, now it is better to beg for mercy, he really kicked the iron plate, no wonder those two people have no fear......

"Really? It seems that it was a misunderstanding, so that's good, I'll take that person away, and my father is still waiting to see my sister. The corners of Zhou Xiqian's mouth curled, and she didn't look at the housekeeper, she bypassed the housekeeper directly and came to Zhou Xiya, "You are Xiaoya, look, our sisters have never met, but I have heard of you, and now I finally see the real person, let my sister take a look." ”

Zhou Xiqian took Zhou Xiya's hand and looked it up and down, nodding incessantly, worthy of being a member of their Zhou family, with a heroic spirit, different from ordinary women.

"I'm tired of my sister, I didn't go to see my sister when I arrived in Yangzhou, so I asked my sister to pick me up in the prison first, and my sister really didn't want to go." Zhou Xiya smiled embarrassedly.

"It's all my own sisters, where you are, I have to pick you up, if it weren't for this trouble, I wouldn't know that you had arrived in Yangzhou, you girl, you didn't come to me when you arrived, it's really too much." Zhou Xiqian pretended to complain and looked at Zhou Xiya.

"Good sister, I was wrong, my sister will never dare to do it again, isn't this afraid of causing trouble to my sister?" Zhou Xiya begged for mercy, in the end, she was a sister-in-law or a sister, although she had never seen it, but she was extraordinarily intimate after saying two words, she and Zhou Xiqian were a grandfather, and their two grandfathers were brothers, and their blood relationship was also very close.

"Let's not take it as an example, let's go, this prison is not a place to catch up, let's go out and talk." Zhou Xiqian pulled Zhou Xiya out.

Zhou Xiya nodded to Xiao Jingqing when she passed by, she didn't expect Xiao Jingqing to be here, it was really a coincidence.

"When did Xiao Gongzi arrive in Yangzhou, I didn't expect us to alarm you." Li Mu walked over to say hello.

"I just arrived in Yangzhou today, and we happened to be at Cui's house, so I really don't understand what happened to you, did you deliberately come to the prison to take a turn? As long as you show your identity, who can do anything to you? "Xiao Jingqing doesn't have so much hostility towards Li Mu now, he wants to win over him more, Li Mu is indeed a very capable person, with the help of such a person, he is like a tiger.

"There's no way, Xiya wants to play, so I have to play with her." Li Mu shrugged.

A few people walked out, leaving Steward Cui in a cold sweat.

"Steward Cui, let's go, the master is still waiting for you in the house, remind you, the master is very angry." The second housekeeper came over with bad intentions to remind him that if this Steward Cui went down, then he would be on top, and most of the power in his hands would be in his hands.

The group came directly to Cui's mansion, and the banquet in the hall had been withdrawn, and now they were all waiting for Zhou Xiya and their arrival.

"Master, Miss Zhou, they're here," the maid came in.

"Please," said the head of the Cui family.

The maid lifted the curtain and invited a few people in.

"Father, uncles, Marquis Xiao, this is my little sister Zhou Xiya." Zhou Xiqian introduced.

Several people in the hall were looking at Zhou Xiya, especially Marquis Xiao. After seeing Zhou Xiya, he touched his beard and nodded, his son's vision is good, this woman looks dignified at a glance, this is not something that ordinary people can bring, and Zhou Jianxiong's temperament is there, her daughter is definitely not a scheming person, such a woman is suitable to marry home as a wife.

But seeing the man standing next to Zhou Xiya, Marquis Xiao sighed in his heart. Lang has no intention of having a concubine. It's hard to break up these two.

"Zhou Xiya has seen a few elders," Zhou Xiya saluted.

"Hurry up and excuse me, niece, you can't be disciplined, so you have suffered such grievances. The old man must teach him a good lesson when he turns around. Give an explanation to my niece. The head of the Cui family said politely.

"The little girl believes that Uncle Cui is well-governed. Naturally, he will discipline the subordinates in the house, but this forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. Sometimes one or two scum can be forgiven. Zhou Xiya replied, she was showing her posture, if she forgave at once, it would be too insignificant, her father was Zhou Jianxiong, who dared to give herself grievances, she is now relying on her father's status, and her father is her backer.

The head of the Cui family smiled awkwardly, and was a little annoyed with his housekeeper in his heart, letting him lose this person, it was really hateful, and he would definitely be dismissed when he turned around.

But looking at Zhou Xiya's proud appearance, the head of the Cui family is not angry, the young lady of the family has to have this posture, the identity determines whether their waist is straight or not, if this woman is weak and can be bullied, he will not take it seriously.

"Niece, how is your father?" Marquis Xiao spoke.

Zhou Xiya looked at him suspiciously.

"This is my father." Xiao Jingqing introduced.

"Hello Uncle Xiao, before I left, my father also mentioned you, saying that if I encounter any trouble in the south, I will go to you for help, you will help me for my father's sake, fortunately, this road is very smooth, I have no chance to trouble Uncle Xiao, but I didn't expect to see you here." Zhou Xiya saluted and said with a smile on her face.

"Hehe, Zhou Jianxiong's words are right, as long as it is on my territory, no one dares to give you anger, I am going to the capital soon, I must go to him for a good drink at that time, time flies so fast, you are so old in a trance, I remember when you were young, your mother was still there at that time, I took my boy to your house, you played very well with me Xiao Jingqing, at that time I was joking with your father, saying that I would set a baby kiss for the two of you, but your father was old and stubborn, saying that he was afraid that my son would grow up crooked, not worthy of you, just don't agree, it's a pity! Xiao Hou Ye smiled so happily, he could help his son.

"Really? At that time, I was young, and I don't remember, Uncle Xiao arrived, my father will be very happy, and he will definitely take out his treasured old cellar to greet Uncle Xiao. Zhou Xiya changed the subject.

"Okay, when the time comes, we'll get drunk and not go home." Marquis Xiao nodded.

"Uncle Cui, I wonder if the little girl can discuss something with you?" Zhou Xiya spoke.

"My niece, but it doesn't matter, if the old man can do it, he will definitely try his best to help you." The head of the Cui family said generously.

"That's it, the little girl set up a charity, do my best to help some suffering people, the unpleasant thing that happened before, but also I went to the river to see the government officials bullying the suffering laborers, and the righteous rescue provoked your housekeeper, these people are really pitiful, I think I can often send them some food in the future, can help a little is a little, the Cui family is the largest family in Yangzhou, I don't know if what I do will interfere with the Cui family, if Uncle Cui you agree, I will implement, Otherwise, there may be some unnecessary misunderstandings. Zhou Xiya looked at the head of the Cui family.

"The niece of the world has the heart of salvation, it is a great good, the Cui family will definitely cooperate, the niece of the world can rest assured, such a thing will not happen in the future, I will also explain to the people below, cooperate with the niece of the world, in order to express our Cui family's concern for labor, the Cui family donated a hundred loads of food to the niece of the world, and if the niece of the future life has any difficulties, you can come to our Cui family." The head of the Cui family is happy to send this favor, anyway, it's a big deal, send a little food, and the matter will pass, as for the life and death of those laborers, what do they do, if someone is willing to be the wrongdoer, they will do it.

"Then the little girl will thank Uncle Cui on behalf of those suffering laborers," Zhou Xiya saluted and thanked him.

"Presumably, a few uncles still have important matters to discuss, so the little girl will go down with her sister first." Zhou Xiya resigned.

"Treat your sister well," the head of the Cui family reminded Zhou Xiqian.

"Yes" Zhou Xiqian took Zhou Xiya's hand and walked out.

"Li Gongzi, we just met here, why don't we go out and have a cup of tea and sit down." Xiao Jingqing followed.

"It's okay," Li Mu readily agreed.

Zhou Xiya glanced at them and didn't stop them.

After the two left, Zhou Xiqian asked, "Is that man just now your future husband?" ”

"Yes," Zhou Xiya nodded.

"No wonder, there is a lot of affection between the two of you, you look affectionate, it's just my sister, don't blame my sister for talking too much, why is this Xiao Gongzi not looking at you right?" Zhou Xiqian gossiped, there was no way she was too curious about this sister, she had a cool personality, so naturally she wouldn't ask in circles.

"The heart belongs to other people, I can't manage it, I can only manage my own heart." Zhou Xiya smiled bitterly.

"My sister is dignified and generous, her appearance is beautiful, she is beautiful and wise, she should be appreciated by men, go, my sister will take you to meet your little nephew, that kid is just three years old this year, and it is time for fun." Zhou Xiya took Zhou Xiya's hand and walked towards her courtyard.

Li Mu and Xiao Jingqing drank tea and played chess in a teahouse, each of them held a son, Xiao Jingqing fell and surrounded Li Mu, "Li Gongzi, how is my chess?" ”

"Xiao Gongzi's chess is decisive, both offensive and defensive, and he has met an opponent in the next." Li Mu fell and wanted to break out.

"Playing chess is in the layout, as long as your game is laid out, these chess pieces will naturally jump in, and when the time comes, you just need to sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman." Xiao Jingqing stopped Li Mu's breakthrough.

"You can see that the Xiao family is not playing a big game of chess now?" Li Mu put down the chess pieces, and he lost this sentence.

"What kind of prince will Xiangning? Although the new country is stable for decades after its establishment, the country is still stormy, and the people are too eager to see a strong country, and the rulers can be passed on from generation to generation, rather than as it is now, only a short period of stability. Xiao Jingqing looked at Li Mu.

"Why do you think that your Xiao family is the one who can support this country, since Xiao Gongzi has said this, he should know where the root of these problems is? Now isn't your Xiao family also relying on the power of the family? Could it be that the first thing your Xiao family did when they sat on the throne was to order these families to get rid of them? Aren't you afraid that the world's scholars will say that you are flying all the birds, hiding the good bow, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking? Li Mu looked directly at Xiao Jingqing.

"It doesn't matter what outsiders say, as long as it can be exchanged for a long-term peace in the world, I, Xiao Jingqing, am willing to suffer this eternal infamy." Xiao Jingqing's words were loud. (To be continued......)
