The subtle fragrance of cotton needles

"Okay, don't worry, mother. Yan'er will recover as soon as possible." Xia Yanxiang recovered from her original emotions and secretly made a plan in her mind.

Tu was a little surprised. Xia Yanxiang had always been a model of a lady from a noble family and rarely behaved like this. What happened today?

Could it be that the thief had some background and was discovered by Yan'er?

"Here it comes, the lady's noodles are here!"

Anzhi brought the noodles over, and the rich smell of chicken soup wafted into Xia Yanxiang's nose. She could smell it from far away outside the room and stared straight at the door.

Tu smiled and said, "Why are you still like a child?"

Xia Yanxiang paused. She couldn't remember how long it had been since she had a full meal in her previous life, but she didn't show it. She just said a little unnaturally: "Mother, Yan'er is still young!"

"You're already sixteen years old, and you're going to get married in half a year. How can you still be young?"

"Mother!" Xia Yanxiang pretended to be dissatisfied, but it was true that Xia Yanxiang had already reached the age of marriage, and it would take no more than half a year for her to get married. Otherwise, she would not have been plotted against by Mo Yuyang and others so early. Tu's worries were not unreasonable.

"Forget it. You don't like to go out and have been stuck at home for too long. There's nothing wrong with that. Anyway, with your brother here, few people dare to interfere in your little affairs." Tu really couldn't do anything about the sick Xia Yanxiang. Forget it, just let her go.

After Anzhi brought the noodles in and handed them to Xia Yanxiang, he saw Xia Yanxiang eating without caring about her dignity for the first time, as if she was wolfing them down.

Yes, it was this taste, it was the shredded chicken noodles that she could only eat after several years, it was the shredded chicken noodles that she had been thinking about for a long time in her previous life.

The next day, Xia Yanxiang didn't sleep all night. She thought about everything in detail. After having breakfast, she packed up casually and went out.

"Madam, since this thief has frightened the Third Miss and the one who came in is Ao Yanxuan, why did you call us over?" Second Aunt Yang Jin said dissatisfiedly.

This is Xia Pinxiang’s aunt, formerly the fifth daughter of the Yang family in Chuzhou. However, when she first entered the Xia Mansion, the Yang family was far away in Chuzhou, and there were not many people serving as officials in the capital. When she went to the capital with her parents, she met Xia Liu, a fourth-rank official at the time, and became his aunt.

"Yes, madam, the weather is still cold! Third sister has just gotten better, we must not get sick too!" Xia Pinxiang was also very dissatisfied. It was obviously Xia Yanxiang's yard where a thief broke into, and it was Xia Yanxiang who was scared. Why did they come here to watch Tu's interrogation?

Tu said slowly, "Don't worry, everyone. I called everyone here for a reason. Although the thief was caught in Yan'er's yard, it must not be a coincidence that he was able to enter our house. He entered Yan'er's yard so skillfully, so I think he must have a certain understanding of our yard. I'm afraid he has entered Yan'er's yard more than once, so I asked everyone to come together to identify him."

"Mom, I'm here." Xia Yanxiang stood outside the yard for a long time, calmed down for a while, and then walked in.

"Yan'er is here, come here quickly." Tu quickly called her to her side.

Xia Yanxiang glanced at everyone and saw looks that were either sarcastic, inquiring, or indifferent. She ignored them and walked straight to Tu.

Even when Xia Yanxiang saw Xia Pinxiang, her face almost fell, and hatred was surging in her heart, but this was definitely not a good time for her to take revenge. She had to endure it and wait for the opportunity.

"Mother, why don't you call father over?" Xia Yanxiang looked around and asked slowly. She was satisfied to see Xia Pinxiang's slightly flustered expression.

Yes, Xia Pinxiang is now almost eighteen years old. Although it is also the age for marriage, Xia Liu has pushed it back again and again, always saying that Xia Pinxiang is young. However, only Xia Yanxiang who came back from her previous life knew that Xia Liu was just waiting for the opportunity to marry Xia Pinxiang to a prince who is expected to inherit the throne as his principal wife.

In her previous life, Xia Pinxiang did not understand Xia Liu's considerations and made a fuss about Xia Yanxiang marrying Mo Yuyang more than seven or eight times.
