As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

Chapter 45

Xie Changyuan looked at Yun Qi with a look that looked like a monster, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

It’s already July, and there are less than five months until the end of the year.

Xie Zhaozhao is also engaged to Chu Nanxuan.

Although it seems that Xie Zhaozhao has no good feelings towards Chu Nanxuan now, he can't fake it after having liked him for more than ten years.

Maybe one day I will feel like glue again when I wake up?

Furthermore, Yun Qi was obsessed with Xie Zhaozhao in the past few years, which made the elders very annoyed.

Xie Wei and Yu Shi were afraid that Yun Qi would avoid him.

Emperor Xuanwu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also couldn't say they liked Xie Zhaozhao.

Emperor Xuanwu also selected a wife for Yun Qi - Miss Chen Shulan, the granddaughter of King Zhongshan.

With so many obstacles standing in front of Yun Qi, he still downplayed the end of the year?

"Let's go out for a walk." Yun Qi smiled lightly and walked out without saying much.

"Hey - what are you doing?" Xie Changyuan hesitated for a moment, then quickly got up and caught up, "Wait for me!"

……

In front of the largest house in Feiyu Lane in the south of the city, a simple carriage stopped.

Xie Zhaozhao sat in the car, listening to the cheerful laughter of the children inside the courtyard wall, his eyes calm and distant.

She recognized the child's voice, it was the He'er born to Chu Nanxuan and Xie Xingchen.

In her previous life, she and Chu Nanxuan had only been married for two months. Chu Nanxuan brought the child back home, saying that he was an orphan from the battlefield and was to be raised in the capital.

Chu Nanxuan said that this child was the flesh and blood of his deputy general Chu Chuanpei who died tragically, and his name was Chu He.

Chu Chuanpei had followed him in battles in the north and south for many years. When the two of them were finally trapped in the valley, there was not enough medicine for wounds. Chu Chuanpei left all the medicine for him. His old and new injuries broke out at the same time, and he died without waiting for reinforcements.

He vowed to take care of Chu He as his own son for the rest of his life.

During the decades of troubled times, it was common for the Xie family to fight on all sides and to house the orphans and widowers of heroes and heroines on the battlefield. Therefore, Xie Wei and Yu didn't think it was a big deal, and Xie Zhaozhao was used to it.

She even offered her full support.

The orphans of heroes deserve the best care.

But in the end, she realized who he was, the son of a hero, and the orphan of a lieutenant general.

Chu He was basically born to him and Xie Xingchen!

She was like a fool, being played by Chu Nanxuan and Xie Xingchen.

Even the childish Chu He didn't know how many times he laughed at her behind her back.

Xie Zhaozhao slowly closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and evacuated the anger caused by these bad memories.

"Miss." Xianggui whispered, "We all stopped for a cup of tea in front of this door. What on earth are we here for?"

"Debt collection."

Xie Zhaozhao slowly said two words and opened his eyes, "Get off the car!"

Xianggui quickly helped Xie Zhaozhao get out of the carriage, and the children's laughter in the wall became clearer and more cheerful.

Xianggui glanced at Xie Zhaozhao quickly.

Xianggui didn't find much information about this child.

All they knew was that they came from Jiangnan, and Xie Xingchen and his daughter seemed very concerned about the child.

In order to settle the child, the house was cleaned for nearly half a month, and all the good things were moved in.

Today I even brought two carts of gifts here.

"Knock on the door." Xie Zhaozhao ordered quietly.The maidservant under Hongxiu's hand immediately stepped forward and slammed the door with a rude "bang bang bang".

The laughter inside paused for a moment, and then there was a series of footsteps.

Squeak.

A strange woman with a long face stuck her head out and took a look outside. Seeing the fierce look of the eighteen maids, she was startled and was about to slam the door shut.

Hongxiu grabbed the door panel and pushed hard.

"Ouch -" the mother-in-law fell to the ground and screamed: "Where are these bandits from? Come on! Come on!"

The servants in the yard heard the sound and rushed over.

Hongxiu made a cold face, and with a clang, he pushed away the sword in his hand with his thumb.

The boys froze in fear and retreated in unison.

Hongxia moved the stool from the carriage out and placed it inside the door. She also put an embroidered brocade cushion on it and said, "Miss, please sit down."

Xie Zhaozhao held Xianggui's hand and entered the door grandly. He sat down casually, glanced around and asked, "Where is your master? Call me out."

The servants looked at each other for a moment, and then a clever one ran inside quickly.

Not long after, a series of messy footsteps came.

The servants moved aside, and Xie Zhaozhao saw Xie Xingchen holding a white-faced child in front of the door.

Mr. Dou followed behind and kept saying, "Slow down, slow down."

Then when they saw Xie Zhaozhao sitting there, Dou and Xie Xingchen suddenly froze.

The child also quickly hid behind Xie Xingchen, looking at Xie Zhaozhao with his eyes curiously.

Mrs. Dou gritted his teeth and soon smiled on his face: "Zhao Zhao, why are you here?"

"Why, second aunt and second sister can come to this place, but I can't?" Xie Zhaozhao said with a smile: "Or do you have some dirty secrets here and don't dare to let me come?"

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Dou said perfunctorily and asked, "Then you have something to ask me about?"

Xie Xingchen, however, had a guilty conscience and quickly hid the child behind himself.

Xie Zhaozhao saw it and his smile became even deeper.

She stood up and walked to Xie Xingchen, squatting down and reaching out to the child: "Baby, what's your name?"

Dou's mother and daughter suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Mrs. Dou picked up the child and handed it to the wet nurse to take away. She looked at Xie Zhaozhao with a smile on her face and said, "Zhaozhao, what are you doing here?"

Xie Xingchen also looked ugly, "How did you find this place?"

"Of course I followed you here." Xie Zhaozhao stood up with a calm expression, "I have an account that I want to settle with you today."

Dou was suspicious: "What do you mean?"

"My meaning is very clear." Xie Zhaozhao said: "Second Aunt, you have been in charge of the family for many years, and you have made a bad debt. After calculation, you have embezzled at least 8 taels of public money in these years."

"Please return the money today."

"What?" Mrs. Dou raised her voice, "In these years that I have been in charge of the business, I have clearly written down the whereabouts of every sum of money. Where did the greedy 8 taels come from? Are you crazy!"

"My mother and I spent many days sorting out the accounts in your account book. There are black and white words on it. You can read it yourself."

Xie Zhaozhao raised his hand.

Xiangrong immediately handed over the account book she prepared before going out.

Mrs. Dou stared at the account book and then looked at Xie Zhaozhao, as if she were a monster with horns on her head.

"Why don't Second Aunt look at it?" Xie Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows lightly and asked, "Is it because I know the account well and don't need to look at it? That's better, just take the money and settle the account of 8 taels of silver. , we are still a family."
