Old Prince Xiao opened his tiger eyes again and stared at his son Xiao Jingcong.

"Twenty years ago, I did get engaged to the lonely family, and when the Dugu family was pregnant, my father made a contract with them. If a baby boy is born, he will be a brother to you, and if he gives birth to a girl, he will be married to you......"

Old Prince Xiao pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Cong'er, it has been twenty years since this matter, and no one has ever mentioned it, and even my father is about to forget it, how did you know?" ”

Xiao Jingcong glanced at Mrs. Xiao, and then replied, "Maybe you should ask your mother, she knows better than me!" ”

"Ma'am?" Old Prince Xiao's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Xiao was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground.

"Master, that's the case, a few days ago, a wild girl from the countryside came to the door to ask for a meeting, saying that she brought the marriage letter of our general's mansion......"

Mrs. Xiao told all the things about how she met Yan Zixi and the quarrels that happened during the meeting, but she still only picked up bad things in her words.

Old Prince Xiao was furious when he heard this, "Hmph, how can such a rude and rude country woman be the daughter of a lonely family, she must be just an impostor, madam, get up!" ”

"Wait!"

The more Xiao Jingcong listened, the more angry he became, if he hadn't heard the ins and outs of the matter from Yan Zixi, he didn't know that the truth of the facts would be distorted by his mother to this extent!

"Mother, do you still have a lot of details that you haven't said? What are you trying to hide? Xiao Jingcong asked coldly on the side.

"Cong...... Cong'er ...... What do you mean by that? My mother has already told you the whole story, didn't I tell you before? Where is there anything to hide? ”

Old Prince Xiao sat on a high seat, did not interrupt the conversation between their mother and son, and chose to continue listening.

At this time, Xiao Jingcong asked Mrs. Xiao again.

"Mother, you keep saying that the girl was rude and bumped into you, but it was obvious that you mocked the other party first, and said that even if the marriage certificate is true, you will not agree to this marriage?"

When Mrs. Xiao heard this familiar sentence, her eyes widened suddenly, her expression was a little flustered, and she pointed to her son and asked.

"Cong'er, where did you hear that?"

Xiao Jingcong snorted coldly, did not answer, but continued to ask.

"Mother, I'm asking you, is Jingrui's brother's injury also the girl who rescued him in time, why did you deceive the child and his father and say that it was treated by Dr. Li?"

"Cong'er, you...... Where did you hear all these rumors? Jingrui is my son, my heart's meat, I don't know who saved him? ”

Xiao Jingcong shook his head, a trace of anger had already risen on his face, "Mother, it's come to this point, how long do you have to deceive the child?" His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Yuyan saw it with his own eyes that day, if his mother still denied it, the child can now invite His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Imperial Physician Li to come over and confront him face to face! ”

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, her legs weakened, and she was so frightened that she knelt down in front of Old Prince Xiao again, and cried out in her mouth.

"Lord Wang, I don't have the intention to deceive you, it's just that the wild girl is too hateful, she contradicted me three times and twice, and she didn't take me seriously at all, how can such a moral, rude and talented woman marry into our general's mansion?"

"Alright, don't say it. Did that wild girl really bring the marriage book of our general's mansion? ”

When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she was secretly happy in her heart, and hurriedly raised her head and said: "Master, I have asked many times, but that girl just refuses to hand over the marriage letter to me, I think the marriage letter is eighty percent fake, she is nothing more than a liar who is greedy for wealth and wants to marry into our general's mansion!" ”

"Since there is no real marriage certificate to testify, this matter is over, and there is no need to mention it in the future......"

"The lord is wise, the lord is wise!" Mrs. Xiao immediately got up and praised her with a happy face.

Xiao Jingcong walked quickly in front of Old Prince Xiao, put his hand into his arms, and took out the marriage letter handed to him by Yan Zixi himself.

"The wedding book is here!"

Xiao Jingcong bowed down, held the marriage book in both hands, and respectfully sent it to the old prince Xiao.

"Father, this is the girl's marriage letter!"

When Mrs. Xiao saw the marriage book in Xiao Jingcong's hand, the smile on her face immediately froze, and when she was about to stop it, Old Prince Xiao still took the marriage book and read it.

Mrs. Xiao was unsure in her heart, she wanted to take a peek but was afraid that she would be found out and blamed by Old Prince Xiao, so she could only stand aside anxiously, bowing her head and not saying a word.

After reading the marriage letter, Old Prince Xiao's face was cloudy, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad.

A character like him could already sit until his mood was invisible, so he couldn't guess what he was thinking.

"Sir...... This marriage letter ......" Mrs. Xiao was eager to know the authenticity of the marriage certificate, and took the lead in asking.

Old Prince Xiao glared at Mrs. Xiao, and said coldly: "The marriage certificate is true." ”

"What...... What the? Unexpectedly...... Is there really such a strange thing? Seeing that the situation was not right, Mrs. Xiao immediately changed her words.

"Maybe there's a providence in the dark......"

Old Prince Xiao said and glanced at Xiao Jingcong who was standing in the audience, and asked, "Cong'er, have you seen that girl?" ”

When Xiao Jingcong heard this, she didn't dare to hide anything: "Yes, the child has seen it." ”

"Your mother said that you only returned home today, when will you see you?"

"Just now, the fourth prince went with me to ......"

Old Prince Xiao frowned slightly, "How could this matter be related to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" Does that girl know His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince? ”

"Yes, that girl once saved the life of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and the Fourth Prince was grateful, so he was willing to take her to the General's Mansion for the second time, and then rescued Jingrui, but he didn't want to be bombarded by his mother......"

When Old Prince Xiao heard this, he slowly stood up and sighed, "That's it, Cong'er, tomorrow you bring that girl to the study to see me, Dad wants to see for himself, what kind of strange woman she is!" ”

"Yes, Dad!" When Xiao Jingcong heard Old Prince Xiao's words, the brows that had been locked tightly finally relaxed.

He secretly thought in his heart, "Daddy is willing to see Zixi, which means that there is still hope for this marriage, as long as Zixi can behave well in front of Daddy, presumably Dad will not violate the meaning of the marriage letter, right?" ”

……

That night, Xiao Jingcong had to appoint Gonggong Li to go to the Yuelai Inn because he wanted to accept the palace banquet, so that he could inform Yan Zixi of the good news.

Although Gonggong Li has always disliked Yan Zixi's identity, he feels that she is from a humble background and is not worthy of the little marquis, but on the other hand, he is also very grateful to Yan Zixi.

If it weren't for Yan Zixi who rescued the little marquis in the suburbs of Ningcheng County that day, I'm afraid that his old life would have to be buried with the little marquis.

Therefore, Gonggong Li was conflicted in his heart, but he was still able to distinguish the weight, and he personally stood on the pair of Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi.

He didn't complain about running errands for this.

Out of the general's mansion, Gonggong Li drove the carriage to the Yuelai Inn in Dongcheng.

But halfway through, a girl dressed in white blocked his way.

Because it was very dark, Gonggong Li couldn't see it very clearly, and when he got closer, he could see the girl's appearance clearly.

"Yo, isn't this our Qianqian County Lord?"

It turned out that the woman in white was none other than the county lord of Qianqian.

The county lord of Qianqian received a secret letter from Mrs. Xiao, learned what happened in the general's mansion during the day today, and knew that Old Prince Xiao was going to meet that Yan Zixi tomorrow.

Mrs. Xiao instructed in the secret letter that Yan Zixi must not be allowed to know about this, and asked her to stop Gonggong Li, who reported to Yan Zixi.

Therefore, the county lord of Qianqian waited for the arrival of Gonggong Li on the way all night.

Seeing that the other party was the county lord of Qianqian, Gonggong Li hurriedly got off the carriage and knelt down in front of her.

"The old slave see the county lord of Qianqian! The county lord Chitose Chitose Chitose! ”

"Okay, let's be even, Gonggong Li!"

"Scum!"

Gonggong Li answered, and then got up from the ground, then leaned over and asked with a puzzled face.

"Lord Qianqian, it's so late, are you still out for a stroll?"

"Which eye did you see the lord of this county wandering around?" Lord Qianqian rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"Yes, yes, yes! It was the old slave who was blind. Gonggong Li lowered his head and said resignedly: "Lord Qianqian, it's not early at this time, you better hurry back to your house, it's not safe on the street!" ”

The county lord of Qianqian chuckled, and did not take Gonggong Li's words of concern to heart at all, but asked him instead: "Gonggong Li, you are so late, didn't you go back?" ”

"Lord Qianqian, you have tormented the old slave, the old slave was ordered by the little marquis to go out of the house to run an errand. When the errand is completed, the old slave will naturally return home. ”

Gonggong Li has been in the General's Mansion for so many years, what a shrewd person?

His eyes rolled slightly, and he asked again: "It's Lord Qianqian, is there anything important that you left the palace so late and left the palace without authorization, and you are still waiting for the old slave here?" ”

The county lord of Qianqian's face sank, and his mouth said impatiently: "Gonggong Li, is this something you should ask?" Don't forget who you are! ”

"Yes, yes! The old slave didn't dare! The old slave is just concerned about the safety of the county lord of Qianqian, if something happens to the county lord of Qianqian tonight, the old slave can't afford it! ”

Father-in-law Li pretended to be anxious and said, it really looks like that, and his acting skills are so high that he can run for the Oscars.

"Okay, Gonggong Li, the county lord asks you, what errand did Brother Jingcong tell you to do?" The county lord of Qianqian raised his head and asked disdainfully.

"This ...... Back to the county lord of Qianqian, the little marquis has repeatedly instructed that he cannot tell outsiders about his errands, and please forgive the county lord! ”

When the county lord of Qianqian heard this, he immediately became anxious.

"Bastard thing! Is my Qianqian County Lord an outsider? Don't forget, your little marquis is my brother Jingcong, and Brother Jingcong loves me the most, if I sue you in front of him, guess...... What will happen to you? ”
