Chapter 431 The Chen family’s scandal
"Isn't it?" King Zhongshan glanced at him and said half-jokingly: "Look at the girls from Mr. Xie's family, and look at the girls from our Chen family. They are really incomparable."

Chen Zhiji also smiled and said: "It's really incomparable."

Many officials in northern Hebei also realized Xie Zhaozhao's identity at this time, and they couldn't help but praise him.

If it were his previous life, Xie Zhaozhao would definitely feel embarrassed.

But after having seen a lot in two lifetimes, I know very well that these are not sincere compliments. They are just echoing the words of King Zhongshan to give King Zhongshan face.

It's also to give Yun Qi and the Xie family face, it's just official talk, don't take it seriously.

She smiled and said politely, "Miscellaneous."

Yun Qi was proud in his heart.

His Zhaozhao family is naturally incomparable to any other girl.

King Zhongshan said: "Since you are here, then take a seat. Someone is coming——"

"No need."

Yun Qi said calmly, "Since we are an unmarried couple, she can sit in the same place as me. There is no need to set up another seat."

King Zhongshan smiled and said: "That's fine, take a seat."

Yun Qi took Xie Zhaozhao's wrist and walked to the high platform together.

The eyes of the Northern Hebei officials and official family members on the left and right couldn't help but fall on Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao - or rather, more on Xie Zhaozhao.

They had only heard of Xie Zhaozhao before.

Betrothed to Major General Chu, was robbed by Yun Qi on the street, then rescued the prince, solved the unjust case in Qizhou, went to Yaocheng to assist his brother in catching the treasonous traitors... each of them can almost be called a legend.

Everyone had secretly speculated on Xie Zhaozhao's appearance.

But I realized it when I saw it today. No matter how much I guessed, it was not as stunning as seeing it with my own eyes.

No wonder His Highness King Dingxi has been obsessed with such a woman for many years.

The two were a match made in heaven.

Some officials and family members looked at Mrs. Chen Er in unison.

In fact, everyone had guessed that the Chen family wanted to find a position for their youngest daughter as the emperor's grandson's concubine.

Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao couldn't help but hug each other in front of all the officials in northern Hebei, and everyone saw it.

They are so affectionate, who can get in between them?

Even if she does get married, Xie Zhaozhao is no worse than the Chen family in everything. The Chen family's daughter is destined to be unloved and unloved.

Mrs. Chen Er's face remained calm and dignified, and she was polite and smiling, but she didn't know how much cold water had been poured on her heart.

When Chen Shuya arrived outside the banquet hall, she happened to see Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao hugging each other, and then she saw everything in her eyes, and her heart became as cold as an ice cellar.

She suddenly realized that she was too naive...

Can she win a husband from a woman like Xie Zhaozhao?

*
On the high platform, Yun Qi held Xie Zhaozhao and sat beside him.

After a few polite words with the King of Zhongshan, Yun Qi turned to her side and asked her in a low voice: "Why didn't you send the news in advance?"

Xie Zhaozhao sighed and said, "I'm hungry."

"..."

Yun Qi presented all the fruits and cakes in front of him to Xie Zhaozhao, "Eat something first, we will leave later."

Xie Zhaozhao nodded, bit into a piece of pastry and said, "I arrested someone when I entered the house."

Yun Qi was startled: "Who?"

"It's a young man named Liu——" Xie Zhaozhao finished eating half of the cake and took the handkerchief to intervene.

Yun Qi took the handkerchief first, took her hand and put it under the desk to wipe it.Xie Zhaozhao smiled at him, hooked Yunqi's finger with his finger, and then raised his eyes to look at King Zhongshan, "Old Prince, there was a young man sneaking into the house today. When I came in, I happened to see him digging out. I'm afraid... If there is anything wrong, I will arrest the person.”

The King of Zhongshan was startled: "A young person?"

"good."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Hong Xiu and Xuan Jing at the door and asked, "Did that person explain anything?"

Xuan Jing stepped forward to report: "He announced his identity and said his surname was Liu, and that he was here for a banquet today. As for why he jumped over the wall in such an embarrassing manner, it was because-"

Xie Zhaozhao said calmly: "Just tell me why."

"Yes." Xuan Jing cupped his hands and replied: "This Young Master Liu said that he is the eldest son of the Governor of Jizhou. Because Young Master Chen asked him to visit Miss Chen today, he waited in the Chen Mansion Garden."

"But I didn't wait for Mr. Chen and Miss Chen. Instead, they were beaten up. I was very annoyed."

"In order to avoid those who were chasing him, he climbed over the wall and went out."

Suddenly there was silence in the hall
Everyone's eyes fell on Chen Wenzhuo.

Make an appointment with Ms. Chen?
Everyone finally got some clues.

The relationship was that Mr. Chen helped his sister to see each other, so they arranged to meet at a banquet.

If this matter happened in an ordinary family, and the female family member of the household made an appointment with the female family members of other families, it would indeed be a nice talk.

But the elder brother directly made an appointment with a man to meet his sister. Why is this so hard to hear?
It's a pity that I didn't see it. If I saw it, wouldn't it ruin a woman's honor?

But King Zhongshan heard the clues in these words.

He was beaten up without anyone seeing him. Who did he do it to?
The Protector-General needs to cross the wall to leave the Chen Mansion?

I'm afraid that the truth will be even worse.

King Zhongshan glanced at Xie Zhaozhao, and his eyes instantly fell on Chen Wenzhuo.

The moment Chen Wenzhuo saw Mr. Liu, his face was extremely dejected. At this moment, his grandfather's eyes fell on him, and a chill went down his spine. He stood up stiffly: "Grandpa, there is a misunderstanding about this, I did not -"

"shut up!"

The King of Zhongshan said coldly: "If there is any misunderstanding, I will know it clearly after I ask Young Master Liu. Now that Young Master Liu is injured, then quickly find a doctor to treat Young Master Liu's injury!"

Liu Chunjun, the governor of Jizhou, looked very ugly. He wanted to say something, but because King Zhongshan said, "Treat the injury first," he could only sit in his original position.

Yun Qi looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Zhaozhao. He raised his hand and made a "five" sign to her.

Xie Zhaozhao nodded.

Yun Qi knew everything.

Everyone followed the rules for the rest of the banquet, and the atmosphere seemed to become tense.

Originally, there were some dance and music programs at today's banquet, but they were canceled under the cold command of King Zhongshan.

At the end of the banquet, Yun Qi stood up and said to King Zhongshan: "I took Zhao Zhao back to the post house. Although the matter of Master Liu escaping over the wall is a family matter of the Prince of Zhongshan, it sounds really strange."

"I also hope that King Zhongshan will investigate carefully and don't miss anything."

King Zhongshan said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me. I know what I know."

Yun Qi nodded and left.

When passing by Chen Wenzhuo and Mrs. Chen, Xie Zhaozhao glanced at those two people lightly.

Chen Wenzhuo and Mrs. Chen both forced a smile and looked very stiff.

Chen Shuya's face turned pale as soon as she met Xie Zhaozhao's eyes, and she couldn't even smile.

Xie Zhaozhao smiled and followed Yun Qi Shi Shiran away.

After all the guests were sent away, King Zhongshan's face turned cold and he shouted in a low voice: "Please come to the study, Zhiji, and you will also come."
