"Why did Dad suddenly mention the Xiao family?" Zhou Xiya was puzzled.

"Brother Xiao and I are very good friends, we have been on the battlefield together, he is a very ambitious person, entrenched in the south, and I am guarding in the north, in addition to defending the family and defending the country, it is also a state of mutual checks and balances, the emperor knows, there is something against Xiao Houye, I have my own deterrence, but Xiao Hou Ye is ambitious, if what the emperor does makes me cold, then I will definitely not stop, Xiao Hou Ye will definitely seize the opportunity, Xiao Hou Ye three sons-in-law, each is very good, but now the court is quite stable, I don't think there's a chance for Hou Ye Xiao. Zhou Jianxiong smiled, where is the power in their secret that outsiders can understand.

For so many years, he and Marquis Xiao have no contacts, let alone correspondence, but they know in each other's hearts that if something really happens, the other party will not sit idly by.

Zhou Xiya was surprised, it turned out that there were so many things she didn't know, there was really too much power in her father's hands, no wonder he wasn't in a hurry to follow the dragon's power, he had such a big power in his hand, he could directly overthrow the government and government, and his spiritual power could be flustered.

"Dad, why don't you want to be emperor yourself?" It's a joke, but it's not that I don't have this thought in my heart.

"Dad only has one daughter for you, no son, what kind of emperor is you, do you want to watch the courtiers desperately play the chapter and let me take a concubine? And being an emperor is a chore, dad is not rare, now I am busy enough to be a general, and when I am old in the future, I have nothing to do with you to take children, fishing, and live a good life of idle fish and wild cranes, my father doesn't like politics, there are too many people in it who can't help themselves. Zhou Jianxiong smiled indifferently. His ambition is not as big as that of Marquis Xiao, but he is already content with such a day.

"Okay, Dad will live the life of idle fish and wild cranes, let them fight." Zhou Xiya grabbed her father's arm and smiled.

"Don't say nice things first, let me ask you, what's going on with Dugu Jin, don't tell me, you are not familiar with him at all." Zhou Jianxiong began to ask.

"Dad, I really didn't know that Dugu Jin would suddenly come out of nowhere and propose to His Majesty, maybe he was for the prince. Estimated. Zhou Xiya explained awkwardly.

"Really? How did I not know that Dugu Jin would make such a big sacrifice for the crown prince. Marrying someone he doesn't like, his Dugu Jin's family background, no one forced him, let's talk about it. Where have you been? Zhou Jianxiong shook his hem. crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Zhou Xiya for a long time.

"Oops. Dad, I'll tell you straight, I don't like him. I don't have anything to do with him. Zhou Xiya stomped her feet and explained anxiously.

"You don't like him, so who do you like?" Zhou Jianxiong got to the bottom of it.

"Dad, don't ask," Zhou Xiya blurted out. After saying that, he immediately covered his mouth, isn't this a self-confession?

"Okay, dad doesn't ask, alas, I made an oral marriage contract with Brother Xiao back then, no matter who has children and daughters in the two families, they will become in-laws, just right, there are three sons in law of the Xiao family, the eldest has already married, you pick one of the second and third, by the way, isn't the second child of the Xiao family just in the capital? That's it, how? Xiao Jingqing was half-joking, but Brother Xiao did have this plan back then, but now it seems that the Xiao family is not a good family, the Xiao family's ambition is too big, and there are many people in the family, there are many rights and wrongs, so he naturally doesn't want his daughter to have a hard time.

"Dad, I don't want it, you must not agree." Zhou Xiya was in a hurry, she never thought that she actually had a marriage contract with Xiao Jingqing.

"It's not impossible not to say yes, but what reason do I have to refuse?" Zhou Jianxiong deliberately teased his daughter.

"If Marquis Xiao has this meaning, you will say that I have a sweetheart, and I will not agree to this marriage, I don't care, you must refuse me." Zhou Xiya began to be quite unreasonable.

"Then you can tell your dad now, who is the sweetheart in your mouth, right?" Alas, it's really not easy for him to be a father, and he is a father and a mother, Ya'er and her mother are gone, he is worried that his daughter has been deceived by a man, so he can only ask more.

"Dad, I just mean something like this, and people don't necessarily like me." Zhou Xiya sat aside, bowing her head and stirring her fingers, a little embarrassed.

"Why, my daughter can take a fancy to him, his blessing, he dares to look down on you, I think he dares, my father is tied to marry you. Say, whose boy is it? As he spoke, Zhou Jianxiong's ruffian spirit came up.

"Dad, you are so savage, you don't scare people away, why should you rob Mrs. Zhai?" Zhou Xiya giggled, "Okay, let me tell you, it's the son of the squire of the Criminal Department, Li Mu"

"Li Mu, why is that kid?" Zhou Jianxiong frowned.

"Dad, what's wrong? Do you know Li Mu? ”

"I haven't seen it, but I've heard your second brother say that he should have a good relationship with your second brother." Zhou Jianxiong was a little absent-minded, and replied casually that he had his own power in the capital, and it was also by chance that he knew that the newly emerging wealthy businessman was actually this little-known young master of the official family, Li Mu.

At that time, it was the emperor's people who checked Li Mu, and his people intercepted and killed the emperor's people to know the news, which was already three years ago.

"Well, he has a good relationship with the second brother" Zhou Xiya nodded.

"Our Ya'er's vision is really good, this man is better than the other." Zhou Jianxiong smiled, he thought that his daughter could marry a simple person, but now it seems that it is difficult.

"Dad, I'm just telling you, don't rush to find someone, or Li Mu won't know what to think of me." Zhou Xiya's uneasy warning.

"Okay, yes, dad listens to you." Zhou Jianxiong has his own plans in his heart, since this Li Mu is a person who agrees with his daughter's heart, then how can he help his daughter. However, this Li Mu's background is really a bit of a headache, his industry is too eye-catching, there are many people who are worried about it, sooner or later Li Mu's identity will be exposed, this is what he is most worried about, if the Zhou family and the Li family become in-laws, they can protect Li Mu, and it is a big deal to divide part of the benefits.

"Okay, it's not early, go back and rest, remember to let Zhou Xiwan leave tomorrow, but you send someone to supervise her, although I expelled her from the house as a punishment, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is still the daughter of the Zhou family, if she does something insulting, it will be the people of the Zhou family." Zhou Jianxiong waved his hand and ordered.

"Yes" Zhou Xiya bowed and retreated, Zhou Xiwan was kicked out of the house, she was very satisfied with the result, and the next step was to arrange for Zhou Xiwan to enter the Three Princes' Mansion.

Back in her room, Mama Zhou waved her hand to let the waiter step back and personally remove Zhou Xiya's makeup, "Miss, just now the news came back from the Bai mother and daughter, I heard that the situation was very bad, the Bai mother and daughter quarreled badly, and later heard the Bai family's cry, the second miss has already asked people to clean up their things, it seems that it has met Miss's expectations." Mama Zhou put a piece of jewelry in the dresser.

Miss's deal with Bai's mother and daughter is all carried out by her, so she knows very well.

"I didn't expect this step to go so smoothly, the third prince took a step to make my plan a lot easier, I really want to thank him." Zhou Xiya laughed.

Mama Zhou just smiled.

"Tomorrow Zhou Xiwan is about to leave the Zhou family, Mama Zhou, tomorrow, you will personally watch and send Zhou Xiwan out, don't let people say, I am cold-blooded as a sister, who told me to be reluctant to give up this sister, I can't bear my sister to leave alone, I am afraid that my sister will be sad, so I won't send it."

"Miss, do you mean that the Bai clan will not go with the second miss?"

"Of course she won't, if she leaves, how to maintain the relationship between Zhou Xiwan and the Zhou family, the Bai family will never leave, now that Zhou Xiwan is leaving, outsiders will only think that my father can't erase his face, deliberately so, but the impact on Zhou Xiwan is not very great, if the Bai family leaves, outsiders will think a lot." Zhou Xiwan looked at herself in the mirror, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her face was full of calculations, alas, she really didn't like her current self, but what could she do.

"What Miss said is true," Mama Zhou nodded. (To be continued......)
