Just after breakfast, He Wu was ordered to come to Qingyun Courtyard.
"Madam, the Marquis asked his subordinates to come down and tell Madam. Half an hour later, the Marquis was waiting for Madam at the front door." General He Wu conveyed Xia Jingyao's words to Liu Yunqing.
"He Wu, do you know where the Marquis is going?" Liu Yunqing is very curious. What Xia Jingyao wants to do is still mysterious.
"My subordinates don't know, the Marquis didn't say anything. But the Marquis ordered his subordinates to prepare gifts, presumably because they were going to visit someone." He Wu told his guess.
"There are some acquaintances of the Marquis in Fuchang County, so should I dress up properly?" Liu Yunqing asked, thinking of the embarrassing things he said yesterday.
"The Marquis made no special explanation. "He Wu didn't know who he wanted to meet, so he didn't dare to spread random rumors on his own initiative.
After He Wu left, Liu Yunqing asked Lian'er to dress herself up and put on the set of Hetian jade jewelry. Originally, Lian'er wanted to wear the gold set, but Liu Yunqing felt it was too flamboyant. When Liu Yunqing came to the main entrance, Xia Jingyao was already waiting for her.
"Master Hou, where are we going?" Liu Yunqing came to Xia Jingyao and asked. He didn't know the destination and always felt insecure.
"You'll know when you get there, get in the car." Xia Jingyao helped Liu Yunqing get into the carriage, and then he got in as well.
Liu Yunqing knew that he couldn't ask about the destination, so he closed his eyes and ignored Xia Jingyao after getting in the car. After walking for about two quarters of an hour, the carriage stopped. Liu Yunqing got off the carriage and looked at Xia Jingyao in disbelief. Xia Jingyao took Liu Yunqing's hand and walked towards the gate.
"I've met the Marquis, I've met the Madam." After receiving the news, Liu Wanshan and others, who had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time, saw Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing approaching and quickly saluted respectfully.
"My father-in-law is exempt from the gift. My son-in-law has met my father-in-law." Xia Jingyao gave Liu Wanshan a gift in return.
"Dad." Liu Yunqing saluted Liu Wanshan.
"The Marquis has broken the villain. Please come into the house quickly. Tea, cakes, and fruits have been prepared. Please invite the Marquis and his wife to rest in the front hall." Liu Wanshan's face was full of smiles. The Marquis saluted him. For him, It's a great honor.
Xia Jingyao and Liu Yunqing followed Liu Wanshan into the Liu Mansion, and He Wu led people to move the gifts into the Liu Mansion.
"The Marquis is willing to condescend, and I am honored to do so. I don't know the Marquis's taste, but everything is prepared according to Qing'er's taste. If the Marquis has any request, just ask, and I will send someone to prepare it right away. ." After coming to the front hall and taking a seat, Liu Wanshan said with a smile on his face.
"Master Yue-in, you don't have to be polite. We are all a family, so we don't need to worry about these red tapes. Jing Yao grew up in a military camp, and many etiquettes are not very clear to him. Qing'er felt a little homesick, so I brought her back to see her. If I have disturbed my father-in-law, I hope he will forgive me." Xia Jingyao lowered his attitude and faced Liu Wanshan completely as a junior.
"The Marquis said seriously, Liu Mansion will always be Qing'er's home. As long as Qing'er wants to come back, she can come back at any time. The villain hurt Qing'er and Fei'er because of his own selfishness. The villain regrets it endlessly. People dare not ask for their forgiveness and are willing to make up for them as much as possible." Liu Wanshan looked at Liu Yunqing with a guilty face. Liu Yunqing did not look directly into Liu Wanshan's eyes, but picked up a piece of pastry and ate it.
"Master, Mr. Xiao and the second young lady are back and have arrived in front of the mansion. "At this moment, a servant ran in.
"I'm sorry, Lord Marquis, I have to go greet you." Liu Wanshan stood up and apologized to Xia Jingyao.
"Go." Xia Jingyao nodded.
"My father-in-law married his two daughters to the most powerful family in Fuchang County. I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune." Xia Jingyao couldn't help feeling a little emotional when he saw Liu Wanshan trotting out.
"It seems more of a misfortune now." Liu Yunqing responded calmly.
Xiao Ming followed Liu Wanshan into the front hall and came directly in front of Liu Yunqing.
"Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for many days, Xiao Ming misses her very much." Xiao Ming said with a smile. When Liu Yunfei saw Xiao Ming like this, the anger in her heart rose. When he saw the jewelry Liu Yunqing was wearing, his jealous eyes turned red. I didn't expect Xia Jingyao to actually buy such expensive jewelry. Liu Yunfei believed that she was not inferior to Liu Yunqing in appearance or figure, but why were two men only surrounding Liu Yunqing? Originally, Xiao Ming suddenly wanted to take her back to Liu Mansion, and she was secretly happy, thinking that Xiao Ming cared about her. It wasn't until she saw Liu Yunqing that she realized that Xiao Ming was here for Liu Yunqing. That disappointment, that jealousy, that hatred, was so strong.
"It seems that Mr. Xiao's face no longer hurts. I don't mind and help Mr. Xiao recall his memories." Xia Jingyao looked at Xiao Ming and said coldly.
"It turns out that the Marquis of Yong'an is here. I wonder if the Marquis's injury has healed. The Marquis has made too many enemies, so it's better not to leave the house at will. If he dies on the street one day, he will also implicate my father and be scolded by the king. ." Xiao Ming walked to the chair opposite Liu Yunqing and sat down, and directly responded to Xia Jingyao without any respect. Seeing Xiao Ming like this, He Wu stepped forward to teach Xiao Ming a lesson, but Xia Jingyao waved his hand to stop him.
"Young Master Xiao is very concerned about me, but you don't have to worry, Young Master Xiao. It won't take too long for those young people to reap the consequences. The County Sheriff has been in Fuchang County for many years, and there are still incidents of committing murders in the street." . I don’t know whether the county governor managed it too well or was too incompetent. "Xia Jingyao had already suspected that the assassination that day was related to the county governor's mansion, but he couldn't find any evidence. Today is just the right time to test it out.
"Before the Marquis came, the public security in Fuchang County was very good. After the Marquis came, something like that happened. This can only be blamed on the fact that the Marquis made too many enemies. Listen to my advice and give Miss Liu to me. , I will ensure that you are safe and sound in Fuchang County. Miss Liu, I miss you so much that I can’t sleep at night. As long as Miss Liu is willing to marry me, no matter what the conditions are, I will agree to it. I will support you. "Xiao Ming Staring at Liu Yunqing with fascination.
As soon as Xiao Ming finished speaking, a loud slap sounded, and Xiao Ming flew out. Xia Jingyao stepped forward again, fired his bow left and right at Xiao Ming, and slapped him several times. Seeing Xiao Ming being beaten, Xiao Ming's guards rushed out immediately, but were stopped by He Wu. He Wu and Xiao Ming's guards fought, and the hall was in chaos. Seeing the scene in front of him, Liu Wanshan's eyes went dark and he fainted.
This time, Xiao Ming's face was more swollen than last time, a few teeth were missing, and his mouth was full of blood. Xia Jingyao kicked Xiao Ming away, put his hand on his waist, took out his soft sword, guarded Xiao Ming who was closest to him, and sealed his throat with a sword. Xia Jingyao kicked the remaining guards away with several kicks. The guards of the Hou Mansion came forward and took Xiao Ming's guards into custody. At this time, Liu Yunqing was blocked by the guards and did not see Xia Jingyao's killing scene.
After taking care of Xiao Ming's guards, Xia Jingyao noticed that Liu Wanshan had passed out. He quickly sent someone to ask for the doctor, and asked one of Xiao Ming's guards to go back to the county governor's mansion to report the situation. Last time, Xiao Ming was spared. This time, Xia Jingyao wanted to ask for an explanation.
