After being read, the plot collapsed and the protagonist went crazy!

"What's strange about that?" Xia Zhiliao asked.

"She is much older than you, but she is always trying to compare herself with you. I don't know what she is thinking. She is a concubine's daughter of a marquis, so she can't compare with you."

After hearing what Qin Xin said, Xia Zhiliao really understood.

In fact, Lu Seyan still cares about her background.

Because she felt that she was once a country girl and did not have a good background, but she was able to become a popular girl in the capital.

She probably can't swallow this.

But, it's really not necessary.

This is what she wanted, and I never thought of competing with her.

As for the Eighth Prince Wen Yan, she has already refused the marriage proposal.

"Miss, you don't have to be afraid of her with your current status. The Princess's Mansion and the General will support you. What's more, the Empress Dowager and the masters in the palace will stand on your side. No matter what, Second Miss Lu will have to bow her head in front of you."

Xia Zhiliao smiled and said, "Why would you argue with her? We are not the same kind of people."

What she wants is immense power, and what he wants is the safety of his family.

As long as she doesn't cause trouble for me and my family, let her be.

"Miss, look, who is that?"

Xia Zhiliao lifted the curtain and a gust of cold wind blew in. She shrank her neck and hugged the hot water bottle tightly in her hand, but she saw Wen Heng buying chestnuts. The weather was so cold, but there was a long queue.

"Miss, won't you stop?"

Xia Zhiliao shook her head, thinking that Wen Heng must have been out of the palace on business and was buying these things to bring back for the empress dowager. His time was limited, so she wouldn't bother him.

He should do more work and find out the truth of that year as soon as possible.

Her grandmother was so good to her, she needed to let her know the truth.

Although it might be possible to live in confusion without knowing the truth, Xia Zhiliao felt that it was too unfair.

Xia Zhiliao had just arrived at the general's mansion and changed out of his outer clothes when someone came to report that Wen Heng had arrived.

Soon, Wen Heng came in with a bowl of hot sugar-roasted chestnuts in his hand.

"Here, eat it while it's hot."

Qin Xin looked at Xia Zhiliao, smiled, and quickly took it for her, "Your Highness, is this specially bought for my young lady?"

"On the way!" Wen Heng said.

[You waited in line for so long? This guy is not telling the truth. ]

Wen Heng didn't expect that she actually knew it.

Qin Xin smiled mischievously: "Your Highness, this is really convenient for you. You must have waited in line for a long time, right?"

"Did you see it?" Wen Heng was only thinking that the little girl would be happy to see the hot chestnuts, and he didn't even notice her carriage passing by.

"Yes, your highness, the queue for your stopover will take a long time, right?"

Wen Heng smiled. This little girl is quite good at talking.

But it’s good too. With someone like her around, Xia Zhiliao won’t suffer any loss.

"Miss, please eat it while it's hot, otherwise it would be a waste of His Highness coming all the way here to keep it so warm for you."

It is indeed a long distance from the store to here. It is rare that it is still warm in such cold weather.

How could Xia Zhiliao not know?

Xia Zhiliao ate one and found it was indeed delicious, soft, sticky, fragrant and sweet.

She was not stingy and grabbed two big handfuls. Her hands were small and the chestnuts were big, so there wasn't much in one handful. "I'll share some of the delicious ones with you and Jianxin. Go and eat."

"Thank you, Miss. Following you, I am truly blessed."

Qin Xin said this and quickly slipped away.

Wen Heng looked at the little girl who was happily eating one after another, and he cleared his throat.

"Brother Wen Heng, you eat too."

[If you want to eat, just say so. Really. 】

Wen Heng ate one from her hand. Fortunately, Xia Zhiliao was still a child. If she was older, it would have made people think wildly.

Xia Zhiliao quickly withdrew his hand, "What are you doing?"

Wen Heng pointed at her hands, which were a little dirty after peeling chestnuts.

The summer cicada is baring its teeth. Is it clean and greedy?

"Are you here just to bring me food?"

"What else?" Wen Heng smiled faintly and sat down beside her.

"Do I have to have something to ask you?"

Xia Zhiliao laughed dryly twice, "Of course not, but is it really that simple to come here specifically to give me chestnuts?"

"You."

Wen Heng smiled bitterly, "Don't you just want to ask about that?"

"Any news?" Xia Zhiliao asked with a smile.

Wen Heng nodded, "What are you going to do now that you have the news?"

He looked worried, "Isn't it good for you to be like this?"

"I'm fine, but where is my grandmother?" Xia Zhiliao took a deep breath, and his young face showed an unprecedented seriousness.

"Does she have to be confused for the rest of her life? I think this is unfair to her. My grandfather died tragically, and my mother has been living in exile and has suffered for more than 20 years. Why should she be punished?"

Xia Zhiliao felt aggrieved and heartbroken when he thought about it.

"Did my grandmother owe him anything?"

"I know, things are not as simple as you think."

"But, if we don't investigate, will he let us go?" Xia Zhiliao asked.

Wen Heng was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Xia Zhiliao meant.

"Wasn't he the one who stopped my mother and my grandmother from getting to know each other?"

"You knew already?"

"Is this hard to know?" Xia Zhiliao snorted coldly, "I know you don't want our family to know because you want to protect us, but how long can this protection last?"

"As long as his suspicions are not dispelled, can we really live in peace?"

Wen Heng stared at her, "You don't look like a child at all."

She is not a child.

Wen Heng sighed, "Let's not talk about this for now. If you're not sure, it could lead to disaster."

Wen Heng patted her head and said, "Be obedient, leave this matter to me."

"So, now can you tell me what you found out?"

"I just found someone who survived that year. It can't be considered favorable evidence. But for this kind of thing, is evidence really important? Who should I show it to? Who can judge him?"

Xia Zhiliao smiled bitterly. The chestnuts that had been sweet and glutinous just now now tasted a bit bitter.

"I won't say it even if I say it, but you force me to say it, and then I won't be happy to hear it."

Xia Zhiliao curled his lips, "If you don't tell me, will the truth change?"

"Yes, but it's better not to know than to know. Otherwise, your current life is already envied by many people. If you knew, it might not be a good thing for you."

"I knew earlier..."

"What did you know earlier?" Xia Zhiliao asked.

"Forget it, it's getting late. I want to go back." Wen Heng stood up and said.

"Did Wen Yan also go to the Lu family today?"

"Well, how do you know?"

"Did you meet?"

"Of course I did. How would I know he was gone if I hadn't? But he left again."

Wen Heng nodded, "Be careful of Lu Seyan recently."

Xia Zhiliao frowned, "What is she going to do?"

"I don't know yet, but someone from the Lu family went to Prince Rui's Mansion just now."
