Seeing this, Shi Dingfang and Qin Zhou couldn't help but take a step closer to Zheng Ji, becoming more alert.
Originally, they had doubts about the existence of these two women, but now they felt even more inappropriate.
Why did the expressions of these two women change suddenly when they were asked about their home situation?
Could it be that what these two women said before were all fabricated?
If this is the case, then these two women must have something to do with Liyun Village!
Zheng Ji glanced at Qin Zhou's posture holding the knife and shook his head, indicating that it didn't have to be like this.
Qin Zhou and the others didn't know why the two people's expressions changed drastically, but she knew what happened in the past life, so she could guess a little bit.
Even if the current Shannan Wei General is not Hu Chong, even if Jing Lingbo is not the later Jing Lingbo, he is not an ordinary person in Shannan Road.
Since these two women were taken to Liyun Village, they obviously didn't want others to know that they came from these two families.
The world is difficult, especially for women. Perhaps in the minds of Hu Fang and Xu at this moment, the matter of being kidnapped should be something they should be ashamed of and need to cover up.
It's understandable that they don't want to reveal their relationship with these two families.
but……
Mrs. Hu Fang and Mrs. Jing Lingbo whom she met in her previous life showed the Qionghua mark on their faces openly, without any intention of being ashamed of it.
No matter what the noble ladies in Jingzhao would say privately at that time, in Zheng Ji's opinion, their move was really beautiful!
Being kidnapped by bandits and being branded with the Qionghua Seal can only mean that they have experienced extremely tragic things in the past, but this is not their fault.
Wrong, it was the thieves who caused their tragic experience!
They themselves did not make any mistakes, and they were even able to escape from the den of thieves. This was their extraordinary ability, and it was something that made them look proud of many noble ladies in Jingzhao.
That's why they openly display the Qionghua seal on their faces, and can calmly accept the crowds and welcomes of Jingzhao's noble ladies.
However, these two women, who had just escaped and had not completely escaped from the bandits' den, obviously did not have such confidence.
Do they want to try their best to hide the family behind them because they think it is not a glorious thing, or are there other reasons?
Zheng Ji looked at them carefully again, constantly comparing them in his mind.
Now Mrs. Hu Fang and Mrs. Jing Lingbo are much younger than in their previous lives, but their posture and demeanor are far worse than in their previous lives.
Does this difference come from more than ten years, or from something else?
These are all things that can be explored slowly in the future, including Hu Chong and Jinglingbo Mansion behind them, which can all be moved back.
The most important thing right now is Liyun Village.
She didn't care what the two women wanted to hide, but since they escaped from Liyun Village, they had to tell everything they knew about Liyun Village.
She came to Liyun Village for this purpose. Although it was an accident to meet them, it would not change her.
"You are unwilling to tell your origins, and I will not force you to do so, but you are not allowed to leave until I conquer Liyun Village. Qin Zhou, arrange for soldiers to guard them later!"
"yes!"
Although Qin Zhou had doubts, he immediately responded.
The origin of these two women is unknown. If they are spies from Liyun Village, then their whereabouts will be exposed and His Highness will be in danger. This... Your Highness would not be wise to keep them in the team!
Moreover, His Highness came to Liyun Village in disguise, but His Highness called himself "This Palace" in front of them. This has already revealed his identity. His Highness is not such a careless person, and it was definitely not a sudden slip of the tongue.
So, does His Highness have any deep meaning in doing this?
What Shi Dingfang was thinking in his heart was quite different, so he just looked at the two women and didn't say much.
However, Mrs. Xu, who was supported by Hu Fang, was injured more seriously than Hu Fang and looked very weak. After hearing Zheng Ji's words, Mrs. Xu
, but a flash of light burst out in his eyes.
She struggled to straighten up, looked at Zheng Ji intently, and asked hoarsely: "A commoner woman dares to ask a nobleman... but His Highness Changding?"
As soon as he said this, Shi Dingfang's round eyes widened, and his whole body was full of murderous intent. He also pulled out the long knife in his hand and blocked Zheng Ji in an instant.
He didn't think that a woman who was kidnapped to a bandit's den in Lishan Mountain could guess who His Highness was just based on his words.
He even didn't think that His Highness' reputation was so prominent that even a woman in a bandit den on Shannan Road could know about it.
Even though this woman seemed extremely weak, he didn't dare to take her lightly.
"It doesn't matter. Let her speak." Zheng Ji stood behind Shi Dingfang and said calmly.
She motioned Shi Dingfang to step back and met Xu's gaze, even with a smile on her face.
She had long seen that between Hu Fang and Xu, the person who really spoke out was Xu.
Previously, when Mrs. Hu Fang was replying, she would always look at Mrs. Xu unconsciously. This was not something difficult to judge.
However, Mrs. Xu remained silent from beginning to end, and she didn't bother to ask questions - since she had met these two people, everything would be asked.
She just didn't expect that Mrs. Xu would speak at this time and reveal her identity as soon as she spoke.
Of course, it is impossible for a person in the bandits' den to guess who she is, but a woman who is familiar with Jinglingbo's affairs and can even decide the affairs of Jinglingbo's mansion can guess who she is.
"Changding, it is indeed the title given to this palace by the Emperor Father." Zheng Ji nodded and replied.
Xu didn't seem to expect that Zheng Ji would admit it so directly, and was stunned for a moment.
But she reacted quickly, and pulled Hu Fang beside her, and slowly knelt down on the ground: "A civilian woman has seen His Highness Chang Ding! Thank you, Your Highness, for saving me!"
Zheng Ji said nothing, his eyes fell on Xu, and he waited quietly.
Xu's actions were not just to express gratitude.
When the other party asked her about her identity, she must have been judging and confirming it in her heart. Then what? What exactly did Xu want to say?
Sure enough, Mrs. Xu took a deep breath and replied: "Your Highness, the common woman... The common woman has something important to report. Your Highness, please listen carefully!"
Hu Fang, who was on the side, obviously knew what Mrs. Xu wanted to report. Her eyes were full of panic. She subconsciously tugged at Mrs. Xu's sleeve and called uneasily: "Sister Xu, don't..."
But her voice to stop her was too weak, and she was obviously not firm in her heart. There was also a hint of help in her frightened eyes.
They were asking for help from her, asking for help from a complete stranger!
Realizing this, Zheng Ji felt ridiculous, but she calmly replied: "Just tell me."
"First update!"
