Just when the county lord of Qianqian was about to slap Yan Zixi, a familiar man's voice suddenly came from behind.

The county lord of Qianqian turned his head and saw that the man was none other than Xiao Jingcong.

Xiao Jingcong had a gloomy face at the moment, looking extremely terrifying, and there was a trace of nameless fire in his eyes, but there was some slight puffiness and bruising in his left eye.

Seeing that Xiao Jingcong was coming, the lord of Qianqian County secretly said that it was not good in his heart, but he still had an elegant smile on his face, and then walked in front of Xiao Jingcong and saluted him.

"Qianqian has seen Brother Jingcong!"

The county lord of Qianqian also noticed the bruise on Xiao Jingcong's left eye, and immediately frowned, and asked nervously: "Brother Jingcong, what's wrong with your eyes?" ”

"It's okay, I accidentally bumped into it in the morning." Xiao Jingcong said while looking at Yan Zixi from the corner of his eye, Yan Zixi stuck out his little tongue and quickly lowered his head.

Xiao Jingcong pointed at Yan Zixi, and then asked again: "Qianqian, what's going on?" Were you going to hit this Zixi girl just now? ”

"Brother Jingcong, this girl is really hateful, I didn't say anything about Xiao Niangniang a few days ago, but now I want to trespass into the General's Mansion, and even the county lord dares to insult her, I just want to teach her a good lesson and let her have a long memory!"

Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, "Qianqian, do you know who she is?" ”

The county lord of Qianqian pretended to shake his head, pretending not to know, "Qianqian doesn't know, Qianqian only knows that this girl came to the General's Mansion a few days ago to make trouble, and was blasted out by Xiao Niangniang, but I didn't expect to come again today......"

"My dad asked him to come!" Xiao Jingcong didn't explain too much, just said lightly.

The county lord of Qianqian covered his mouth and pretended to be surprised and shouted: "What, it was Old Prince Xiao who invited her?" Qianqian doesn't know, and asks Brother Jingcong to forgive her sins! ”

Saying that, the county lord of Qianqian squeezed out a few tears, threw herself into Xiao Jingcong's arms and cried.

"Okay, okay, I don't blame you, you go to my mother first. I still have something. After Xiao Jingcong finished speaking, he gently pushed the county lord of Qianqian away.

Xiao Jingcong couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust when she thought of what she did last night, and then saw that she was still acting in front of her.

He didn't care about the Qianqian County Lord anymore, but walked straight to Yan Zixi, smiled at her, and asked with gentle concern in his mouth.

"Zixi, you're not hurt, are you?!"

"Okay...... But if you take a step too late, my face will leave a finger print......" Yan Zixi raised her head and looked directly at the county lord of Qianqian.

The county lord of Qianqian also happened to look over, the two looked at each other, their eyes met, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Xiao Jingcong hurriedly pulled Yan Zixi and walked away, "Okay, okay, don't complain, my father is still waiting for you in the study!" Go, come with me! ”

After Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi left together, those guards immediately began to talk about it.

"Hey, I didn't expect that girl to be really invited by Old Prince Xiao?"

"It's over, it's over, it's all over! Did you see it just now, the major general seems to be very different to that girl, and now that we have offended that girl, will people trouble us? ”

"You're embarrassed to say it! Those who flaunt their might with a spear all day long will scare people to death sooner or later! ”

"I'm on duty, I have to show the majesty of our general's mansion!"

"Come on! I don't think that girl is a simple person, so let's be polite in the future. ”

……

The county lord of Qianqian heard the discussion of those guards on the side, and his face was already green.

Looking at the back of Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi's intimate departure, her silver teeth were gritted and gurgled.

Yan Zixi ...... Wait and see, I'm not going to let you get away with it! No one can snatch my brother Jingcong away, and neither can you! ”

The county lord of Qianqian showed endless hatred in his eyes, and then turned his head to find Mrs. Xiao.

……

Zhenguo General's Mansion, study.

Xiao Jingcong brought Yan Zixi to the door of the study, then knocked lightly on the door, and called out in his mouth.

"Father, Yan Zixi is here, do you want to see her?"

After waiting for a while, the voice of Old Prince Xiao came from the study.

"Come in!"

After getting the permission of Old Prince Xiao, Xiao Jingcong pushed open the door and led Yan Zixi into the room together. Yan Zixi followed Xiao Jingcong into the study, where all kinds of landscape paintings were hung on the walls, and on one side was a bookshelf carved from golden silk nanmu, which was full of ancient books.

There is a table next to the bookshelf with inkstones, pen holders, and all kinds of pens hanging from the pen stands.

Old Prince Xiao was sitting at his desk, reading an ancient book in his hand.

"Father, Zixi is here." Xiao Jingcong arched his hand and called softly.

Only then did Old Prince Xiao raise his head and glance up and down at Yan Zixi who was standing beside Xiao Jingcong.

Then he said to Xiao Jingcong: "Cong'er, you go out first, I have something to talk to Miss Zixi alone." ”

"Yes, Father!"

Xiao Jingcong responded, not daring to disobey his father's wishes, and after glancing at Yan Zixi, who was a little anxious beside him, Xiao Jingcong nodded at him, as if to cheer her up, and then slowly withdrew from the study.

Although Xiao Jingcong was also a little worried in her heart, this was her father's intention, and if she annoyed her father, it would be counterproductive.

So Xiao Jingcong had no choice but to obey his fate.

After Xiao Jingcong left, only Yan Zixi and Old Prince Xiao were left in the study.

Yan Zixi's nervous little heart was beating "bang, bang, bang".

"Zixi, Zixi, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's nothing. You can do it! ”

Yan Zixi stabilized her mind for a while, and then she cautiously stepped forward, knelt down in front of Old Prince Xiao, and made a big bow to him.

"The people's daughter Yan Zixi sees Old Prince Xiao!"

"Get up."

"Yes......" Yan Zixi responded respectfully, and got up from the ground, and then kept his head down, not daring to look at Old Prince Xiao.

"Lift your head!" Old Prince Xiao said expressionlessly.

"Yes......"

When Yan Zixi heard this, she forced herself to slowly raise her head, but she still didn't dare to look at Old Prince Xiao.

Old Prince Xiao put down the scroll in his hand and suddenly laughed loudly.

"You're scared of this king?"

Yan Zixi swallowed her saliva, took a deep breath, and recalled various words in her mind before she slowly replied.

"Back to the old prince Xiao, the folk girl was born poor, from the countryside, and has never seen such a majestic posture as the old prince Xiao, the folk girl was confused for a while, and she was terrified, and asked the old prince Xiao to forgive her sins!"

After speaking, Yan Zixi bowed to Old Prince Xiao again.

Seeing this, Old Prince Xiao showed a trace of doubt on his face, "Before, I heard that Madame, you are uneducated, rude, unruly, unruly and willful, but when I see it today, it is not as bad as I heard." ”

When Yan Zixi heard this, she had already greeted her future mother-in-law a hundred times in her heart!

That Mrs. Xiao is really good at chewing her mouth, and she actually said me so badly.

Angry or not, Yan Zixi couldn't show it, so she still had a smile on her face, and said lightly.

"Old Lord Xiao, you don't know, Mrs. Xiao has a deep misunderstanding of the people's daughter, I believe that as long as the misunderstanding between me and her can be solved, Mrs. Xiao will definitely re-examine me."

Old Lord Xiao nodded, and after being silent for a while, he continued to ask.

"Zixi, who else is in your family? Are your parents safe? ”

"Back to Old Prince Xiao's words, I can't hide it, Zixi doesn't know the current situation of her parents, and she doesn't even know whether they are alive or dead......

"Oh, why so?" Old Prince Xiao was puzzled.

"Zixi was abandoned by my parents on the streets of the capital when I was very young, and it was my adoptive father Yan who raised me. I only learned about this epistle after my adoptive father's death. Yan Zixi replied truthfully, not daring to hide anything.

When Old Prince Xiao heard this, the look on his face was much more relaxed.

"So, you haven't met your biological parents?"

Yan Zixi shook her head, "No." ”

"Don't know who you are?"

Yan Zixi still shook her head, "The folk girl doesn't know ......"

Yan Zixi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Old Lord Xiao, since you made a marriage contract with my parents back then, you must have seen my parents and know who they are, right?" ”

When Old Prince Xiao heard Yan Zixi's question, the relaxed expression on his face froze again, he picked up the scroll in his hand again, and said lightly: "It's just ordinary people." ”

"Then why did Old Prince Xiao make a marriage contract with them?"

"They are gracious to me."

"Old Prince Xiao, do you know where they are now?"

"After a farewell, there is no contact, I don't know my life and death, I don't know my whereabouts."

Yan Zixi originally thought that she would be able to learn the news of her parents from the mouth of Old Prince Xiao, but she didn't expect that in the end, it would be a waste of water.

Yan Zixi's expression was a little depressed and lonely, but she quickly recovered.

And all of this was captured in the eyes of Old Prince Xiao.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Old Prince Xiao diverted the topic and continued to ask.

"Zixi, this king asks you, do you want to marry into our general's mansion?"

I go, how straightforward?

Yan Zixi was stunned for a moment when she heard Old Prince Xiao's direct question.

After hesitating for a moment, Yan Zixi slowly replied, "Old Lord Xiao, I don't know what you mean by asking?" In fact, before coming to the General's Mansion on the first day, I just wanted to find out the situation of the marriage letter, and I didn't think anything about it. It was only later that Mrs. Xiao was aggressive, so I had no choice but to return the favor, and then changed my mind......"

Yan Zixi said as she looked at Old Prince Xiao cautiously.

Old Prince Xiao didn't speak, but motioned for Yan Zixi to continue.

"Originally, I had planned to give up this marriage, but yesterday I saw the major general, but I didn't expect him to be the person I met in Ningcheng County, everything is so wonderful, it feels like there is a providence in the dark."
