When the group of them were leaving, Lin Zhiyuan had been watching secretly from the side. Ji Chengfeng asked a slightly wordy question, but Zhou Jiaqing did not show any sign of impatience.

Until the sky became extremely gray, the raindrops finally fell, wetting the road, the people on the horses, and a carriage not far from the city gate!

Lin Zhiyuan sighed silently, but felt inexplicably disappointed. It was a good thing that Zhou Jiaqing was fine, but he always felt that it shouldn't be like this.

He should be the one who wanted to protect Zhou Jiaqing. He really did something wrong this time. Next time, he must not do this again next time!

Lin Zhiyuan secretly swore in his heart, but soon, he discovered that there was no next time, and he had to put an end to this unspoken relationship!

Along the way, there was silence and silence. Chen Xing looked at Zhou Jiaqing distressedly. Now Zhou Jiaqing was becoming more decisive and sharp, and there was no trace of a little girl's temperament in every move. He felt extremely sad.

Fortunately, everything was safe, and she would definitely protect Zhou Jiaqing from now on. She desperately hoped that her daughter could be pampered like other ladies from aristocratic families and live a carefree life. An idea sprouted in her heart.

Zhou Jiaqing seemed to understand Chen Xing's heart and just said it was okay.

The rain outside the carriage was getting heavier and heavier, but Xu Jingxiao still galloped at the front of the team, causing everyone to stop in the rain in order to see clearly the appearance of the man on the horse.

"Look, this carriage belongs to the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion."

"The person inside must be Miss Tuesday. She left the city in a carriage in the morning. I saw her in a hurry on the roadside."

"Who is the young man on the horse? He is very handsome and elegant, but he is a little strange."

"Who is the one?"

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted: "Could it be the Duke of the country?"

A stone stirred up a thousand waves. As soon as these words came out, people on both sides of the long street started talking, not caring whether they got wet in the rain.

"I just said that it felt a little familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere. It turned out to be Duke Xu. Hey, wasn't he always in the mansion? Why did he come back from outside the city?"

"What's so confusing about this? You and I can't know the whereabouts of the prince."

"However, I have never heard that the prince and Miss Tuesday knew each other."

"You are confused again. The prince will not leave the palace, but do you still remember? During the Pinghu Academy exam, the prince came to the academy for the first time. It was already very strange. But that time, Miss Tuesday performed abnormally and won the first place. This Maybe the two of them have known each other for a long time, right..."

Chen Xing heard a few words coming from the outside. They really had everything, but there was one thing. Xu Jingxiao was willing to be discussed.

Chen Xing murmured in praise: "Your Majesty is determined."

Xu Jingxiao could have left after leaving Yujianlin. He insisted on staying in front of their carriage and riding all the way to the Hou Mansion. He simply wanted to let everyone in Da'an City know that Zhou Jiaqing was the person he wanted to protect. !

Zhou Jiaqing smiled slightly and was noncommittal. Seeing this, Qiu Ju also smiled and said: "The prince is back and is so high-profile. Miss, have you not thought about it yet?"

"what's up?"

The other courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

After Wang Shi diagnosed and treated the three female relatives, all of whom had superficial injuries, and there were no problems, Marquis Jing'an felt relieved.

While talking to Xu Jingxiao in the front hall, it turned out that Shuangcai had been following Chen Xing because he was alone and outnumbered. He could only keep an eye on Zhou Jiahao's next move for the time being, while trying to leave a mark for Zhou Jiaqing to find.

Shuangfu obeyed Zhou Jiaqing's order to protect the Zhao brothers and sisters. After Qingyi arranged the manpower to notify Xu Jingxiao, he protected him by Marquis Jing'an.

Zhou Jiaqing could easily be distracted if his family could not ensure their safety.

After they finished packing, they came to the front hall. After hearing Chen Xing's story about today's danger, Marquis Jing'an looked at Xu Jingxiao thoughtfully, then at Zhou Jiaqing, and said: " Madam, you mean..."

Those three words Zhou Jiahao made him feel extremely sick. Marquis Jing'an coughed lightly and said, "He is dead."

Chen Xing nodded.

They hurriedly left Yu Jianlin after making sure that Zhou Jiahao had completely died.

Marquis Jing'an said to Xu Jingxiao: "Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your life-saving grace."

Then he pointed to the horses in the yard and said, "Even this horse is too high-profile..."

Although Zhao Yunzhen was surprised by Marquis Jing'an's mild hostility towards Xu Jingxiao, he didn't look malicious. Chen Xing smiled and said, "They are all gentlemen who take care of their shortcomings."

Chen Xing didn't think so much. As a woman, it's enough to have someone who is willing to protect you and love you. She was very satisfied with Xu Jingxiao, but she was satisfied too easily, which made Marquis Jing'an unhappy. Marriage, this It's a lifetime event, how could you be so careless!

Zhao Yunzhi, who never spoke, suddenly asked: "Cousin, now that the Zhou family is exhausted, the fourth prince is not as humble as he appears, and he will not let it go. Why not, cousin, take a good rest, don't you?" Let uncle and madam worry about you no more, and you and I can go to Dupo with Zhen'er."

"Du Po?" Zhou Jiaqing shook his head and said, "No need, cousin..."

"Cousin, just go to Dupo with us to relax and unwind. Uncle, what do you think?"

"Zhen'er is right. With your father here, you don't have to worry about the next thing. Qing'er, just go and visit your grandfather and grandmother for your father. They haven't seen you for so long. They must also miss you very much. .”

"Yes, when you return to Da'an next time, the new Marquis Mansion will be decorated, and Mom will definitely leave you the best yard. Qing'er, you have worked too much these days, and Mom really can't bear to see it. "

Seeing that the three of them all tried their best to agree, Zhou Jiaqing was a little embarrassed. She wanted to go, but she couldn't do it without adding another obstacle to Xie Yuanfu.

Xu Jingxiao frowned when he heard the words and saw Zhou Jiaqing's expression, and then he was relieved: "It doesn't matter, the Marquis and Madam are also thinking about you. Take this opportunity, you go to Dupo, I have sent all the secret guards back to work again." I guarantee that this mistake will never happen again! When the time comes, you will have the jade pendant in hand. If anything happens when you get there, they will protect you as soon as possible! With me in Da'an City, Xie Yuanfu cannot harm your family!"

Zhou Jiaqing had not seen her grandfather and the others for several years. He had heard before that she had a very good relationship with her grandfather's family. Xu Jingxiao just couldn't bear to be separated from her, and he didn't want Zhou Jiaqing to endure the pain of missing her family.

Zhou Jiaqing paused and nodded slightly. The Zhao brothers and sisters were very happy.

Just the Marquis of Jingan raised his eyebrows and stared at Xu Jingxiao with his dark eyes motionlessly. At first, when he saw Xu Jingxiao personally escorting Zhou Jiaqing and the others back to the mansion, he thought that Xu Jingxiao just accidentally helped the Hou's mansion. That’s all.
